Snead $4,000 Richer
After Comeback 10
Win World Title
b. the Associoied Press

CHICAGO, Sept. s.-Slammin
Sammy Snead has whipped his
scrambling golf game and today
rustled $4,000 fresh cash in his
pocket to prove it.
A forlorn fairways figure since he
meteored to the British Open title
early in July. Snead yesterday
roared back into the golfing lime
light with a two-stroke victory in
George S. Mays world champion
showdown.
Snead copped the 36-hole, winner
take-all feature at Tam O'Shanter
Course with a siX-under-par 1873,
two strokes ahead of Byron Nell
son, substitute for PGA Champion
Ben Hogan. United States Open
Champion Lloyd Mangrum was
third with 14l, while Herman Bar
ron had 142.
Put Gogether Two 69s.
In grabbing his biggest tourna-
ment swag in history, Snead wrap
ped together a pair of steady 69s.
shaking off Mangrum, who had tied
him at 18 holes with SO, and at 27
with 104.
Snead, who next will compete in
the Nashville (TennD invitational
starting Thursday, was extremely
modest in his surprise triumph over
Tam's par 70, 6.67O-yard course.
Probably if there were two more
rounds, would have finished last"
grinned Sammy, the pride of Hot
Springs. Va.
Nelson, who closed with a SO for
second place, had a different idea.
If Sammy really had concentrated, 4"
said Nelson, he might have saved
six more strokes"
At any rate, Snead raped nine
brides and was over par only three
times in the two-day chase.
Three Brides in Last Nine.
Sammy showed championship
stuff on the final nine when he
bagged three brides, two of them
on the last three holes. On the
34th green, he cupped a 25-footer
for birdie 2 and on the closing
36th green lobbed across a creek to
within three feet of the pin for
birdie 3.
Although he had not won a major
tournament since his British vic
tory, Snead now stands second to
Hogan as money-Winner with
S24 ,903.

YoueI Faces Packers
In Bid 10 Be No. I
Skin General
By Lewis F. Atehison

COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. g.
Rookie Jim Youel will make his de-
but as a Redskin quarterback
against Green Bay tomorrow night
and riding on every pitch will be a
chance Of stepping into the No. po-
sition behind Sammy Baugh. Youel's
parents will see the game, and that,
plus the fact that he didn't play
against the Rams through an over
sight, makes it rather important
occasion for him.
But Coach Turk Edwards is going
TO use Baugh and Indian Jack ia
cobs against the Packers, too, al
though he wants Youel and Jacobs
TO do most Of the work to see how
well they 60. Jacobs got in only a
few minutes against the Rams be-
cause Of his poor. aching back. and
had no chance to try the slight-of-
hand stuff he likes so well.
Steve Bagarus, Wilbur Moore and
Jack Jenkins will not play, but if
Bob De Fruiter is ready and Eddie
Saenz can be located in a grove of
6-footers the Packers may expect
trouble. 1t is possible that the Skins
will come up with another passing
combination to match the famed
Baugh to Bagarus duo with Youel
and Jacobs pitching and Saenz or
De Fruiter catching.
Not to be overlooked is Dick Todd
who may be shifted to right half to
help take up the slack at that posi-
ton caused by injuries. Todd showed
flashes of his best form against the
Rams and seems ready to go. His
experience gives him an edge on
Saenz, but for sheer speed De Fruiter
is the man you've got to watch. Give
him an inch and he may take the
whole field. De Fruiter, however, is
nursing an ailing foot and may be
held out to guard against more seri-
Gus injury.
Edwards also intends to use George
Watts as tackle 1t will be the Tar
Heels first appearance of the sea-
son. A lame leg has kept him idle
the last 10 days and with competi-
ton keen for tackle jobs Watts wants
to get into action to protect his

On Ring Assai|ed as
NBA Sessions Open
BY the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, Sept. 9.-President
Abe j. Greene came out swinging
today at what he called New York S
persistent monopoly of major con-
tests" as the National Boxing As
Fsociation launched it's first conven-
ton since 1941.
The fireball prexy from Paterson,
IN. j., mapped heavy program for
the delegates in his opening address
prepared for delivery this morning
and high on the agenda was series
Of lawmakers at the Empire States
Commission and Promoter Mike
Jacobs.
Greene declared the representa-
t1veS would discuss in detail New
York's persistent monopoly of major
contests through the medium of 'ex-
elusive contracts which are in vio-
lation of that States own law, and
which have tended to prostitute
every element on sport and make of
boxing nothing but a commercial
vehicle for one individual organiza-
tion's personal advantage"
The NBA chief said New York's
Commission had "persistently re-
fused to affiliate with the NBA.
maintaining that the States laws
forbid aff1liation with any other
body" We hold this barrier to be
purely mythical, conceived in ex-
pediency, and oftimes violated by
agreements with individual COM
missions which are as violative of any
State restrictions as would be all-out
Affiliations with NBA," Greene said.
Greene stressed boxing's contribu-
ton to the war effort, both in man
power and bond sales, and con-
tinued: Now that the war is over
and normal activities must prevail,
one Of the principal goals of this
convention should be the creation
of uniform front of boxing regula-
ton.

OF Danube Captured

By the Associoted Presx


FRANKFURT, May %. - The
United States Army Intelligence
Division today said 232 persons, in
Guiding Admiral TrunkWaltel COM
mander of the Hungarian Navy on
the Danube River" were arrested in
dawn raids Tuesday.
A total of 297 boats were searched
in the campaign by American troops
to break smuggling and gum
running ring suspected of providing
an underground escape route for
SIS fugitives.
The announcement said quantities
of arms and other contraband were
found on the boats, plus counter
feiting equipment capable of forging
various documents and producing
specially processed paper
An American State Department
official yesterday said the Danube
River fleet was a powerful bargain
ing point to induce Russia to open
up the lower Danube to free COM
merce.
The vessels raided comprise a
large part of the total craft avail
able for Danube shipping. Most
of them were said to be Hungarian
owned, although some belong to in
terests in other Balkan countries
and in France and Holland. They
sought refuge in American-occupied
territory when Russian troops drove
up the Danube late in the war.
Their return has long been sought
by Russia and several Balkan ma
tions, according to the State De-
partment source. Russia complained
that their detention in Germany
was hindering economic reconstruc-
ton of the Balkans.
However, this source pointed out
that Russia had refused to grant
American and other Allied requests
for free trade on the Danube The
reparations status of the craft has
not been settled, he said.
