Brady, Torres Fistic
 Show Friday

With the completion of the five bout professional boxing card set fo1 Friday night at Municipal Stadium all that remained for another suc- | cessful Waterbury A. c. presentation was smile from the Weatherman. On the strength of his three fights with former NB.A. featherweight title-holder Phil Terranova, the lit tie Puerto Rican, Aponte Torres was expected to provide keen contention for Irish Pat Brady in the main bout of 10 rounds. Brady is just about the hottest" fighter to come along Connecticut fistic trails since Willie Pep and Bat Battalino first boxed in amateur competition sever al years ago; but the young Bronx Irisher, not quite 19 years of age has more natural ability than most featherweights of years experience in the ring. Brady invariably makes the right move at the right time; hardly ever wastes" a punch; and, for a 128 pounder, is one of the most devastating count r-punchers of featherweight record for some time. An opponent just cannot afford to miss a lead" against Brady for he can't get his hands up quick enough to avoid solid counter blow.
 Tough
 Torres is reputedly speedy box CT who can take a punch" and he was good enough to draw $27,5 in two bouts with Terranova and Will lie Pep; boxing two draws with the New Yorker, licked by Sal Bartolo. who was knocked out by Pep; the real worlds champion for the past three years.
 Joe DiMedina of Fresno, Cali fornia and Gabriel Rios of New York, are paired in one of four six round prelim bouts.
 In another. Kenny James, local Negro middleweight will take on Bill Peterson of Billings, Montana; now a resident of Hartford. Billy Brown ot Manchester, Waterbury boy who learned his ringcraft in this city will make another local showing to fol- low up his neat work on the Griffin Miller card, when he disposed of Floyd (BaD Stroud of Tampa, Flor ida with the greatest of ease to get the decision. Brown showed, speed, fine boxing ability and hefty punch in defeating Stroud; who was a substitute for Ellis Morgan of Hartford; Brown and Morgan to meet tomorrow night in a six round go, as originally planned.
 Other Bouts
 Eddie Ahearn of the Bronx and Joe Relish of Jersey City are to open the show in sixer. Hartford fans are expected to attend the show in large numbers, according to tieAeJ orders. as Brady, who never gives poor performance, gained his ring reputation in Hartford during the past year; losing but one bout in that time. and that in Boston 10 Sal Bartolo, after knocking the for mer champ to the canvas.

BY LLOYD MANGRUM U. S. Open Champion (AS told to Ned BroWnl

In putting bring back the club head only inches from the ball.
 Let the hands and forearms do the work.
 The short backswing is flat, de- liberate, the stroke even and smart, hitting the ball with the flat center of the clubhead and carrying 1t in a sweeping motion.
 The follow through should be short in one flowing movement, end ing with the wrists straight. The clubhead should be no higher than the left knee at the finish.
 Putting differs from all other golf shots in that both head and body are kept absolutely still throughout. There is no body motion.
 The bottom of the arc should be at point of impact, the stroke reg ulated in force according to the length of the putt and the texture of grass. Some greens are lightning last, others deceivingly slow.
 Many poor golfers are good putters while some stars are poor putters. A good rule is to keep the left ear at right angle to the cup until near the finish of the follow through.
 Mangrum's follow through in
 putting.
 On short butts use short arc as II brushing the ball.

 The Jersey aggregation was held in check for four innings by Walt Gatham but the Colonels nicked him for a single tally in the sixth before breaking loose with three in the sixth and five in the seventh to clinch the decision.

British Open ChomPGe 6-5 Lickinq
BY HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer

Portland, Ore. Aug. g. UP- Defending Champion Byron Nel- son, playing some of the finest golf of his brilliant career, had to share playing honors in the National P.G.A. tournament here today with little-known Dick Shoemaker, 35- year-old shotmaker from Pitts burgh, Pa.
 While Nelson was advancing through the first pair of match play contests with l0-under-par golf, maker was disposing of pair of favorites-and the British, Amer ican and Canadian open champions were Shunted to the sidelines.
 Shoemaker turned the big trick of the day by defeating former Champion Vic Ghezzi, 1-up, in the second round after eliminating Sam Byrd in the opener, 3-2. Byrd, the former New York Yankee baseball player, lost in the finals of the P.G.A championships to Nelson last year
 Still complaining of an ailing back, Nelson played some of his finer golf in defeating Frank Rodia, San Diego, in the first game, 8 and T. It was the most lop-sided match of the day and Nelson went the first nine in four-under-par 31. He finished off this match at the 11th hole.
 In his second match he elim- mated host professional, Larry Lamberg, 3 and 2.
 Hoodache
 Lloyd Mangrum went out in the first round as the veteran Harry Bassler, did an Al putting job for l-up victory. The national open champion complained of headache that caused eye-strain and his shooting today was not the kind he usually displays.
 George Schneiter, the clever pro- fessional Frank Ogden, Utah, gave British open champion Sam Snead one of the worst lickings of his life in winning a 6-5 decision. Snead' S putting continued to border on the ludicrous and he left immediately afAer the defeat for his home in Hot Springs, Va, for a rest. He won't return to action until mid September
 Fazio, who recently won the Can adian open at Winnipeg, fell be- fore the consistent play of Frank Moore, Overland, Mo, by 2 and l count.
 There were some other upsets, too Clayton Heather, the big blond from Charlotte, N. G., was busted in the first round by towering Al Nelson, Ponte Vera, Fla, by 2-1.
 Terrier still Hot"
 However. there are lot of big names left in the T. who tee off today over the 36-hole route. Jim Terrier. who set the all-time record qualifying mark of l34 for 36 holes, won both his matches yesterday. He trimmed Sam Schneider, Hous- ton. Tex, 4 and 3 then moved on to ouSt Lawson Little, the former U. s. and British amateur Cham pion, 3-2.
 Chandler Harper, Portsmouth Va, eliminated Bob Gutwein, Cin- cinnati. 5-3 and Jimmy Thomson, Chicopee, Mass. 2-1.
