Hinshuw Matches
His Ace, 7o, at Golf

One OF the few golfing feats
not achievable by younger man
is coveted one for the senior
golfers-that of shooting score
equal to his age.
William Wade Hinshaw, the
retired opera singer and invet-
crate golfer at Columbia Coun-
try Club, realized that ambition
in a round of 79, q score that
matches his age until his 80th
birthday in November.
Hinshaw, a four times a week
golfer at Columbia in the sum-
mer and at Augusta, Ga, in the
winter, shot the 70 in round
with Pro Fred Mcleod, w. r.
Winslow and DR.. j. P. Sherer.
Another happy golfer at CO.
lumbia over the week end was
George M. Ferris, who broke 10
and par for the first time in his
life over his home course with
a one under SO.
Best-ball foursome winners at
Columbia in the clubs most &C
tive tournament week end in
years were James Shea, Marty
West, jr.; Jimmy Brown, Bob
Mayfield and DR.. Sidney c. Cous-
ins, actually a fivesome, who
posted a Sc in the first event,
and S. D. Moses, Harry j. Kane,
Maury fairfield and Frank

CHICAGO, July South African
Bobby Locke and Ed (Porky) Oliver
of Wilmington, Del, who faltered
in the stretch, today squared of in
the first round of a 36-hole playoff
for the $1,000 top prize in the ALL
American golf tournament.
Locke, who was handed a $4,000
guarantee to be the prima donna
of George s. Mays Tam O'Shanter
spectacle, yesterday uncorked q
back-from-the-dead putt for a dra-
matte 72d green deadlock with
Oliver. This produced the third
extra-session finish in the meets
seven-year history.
Tapping from a scant 8 feet
Locke apparently had a tie clinched
with the already finished Oliver
But the ball teetered to a stop on
the rim Of the cup. 1t hung there
apparently dead, which would have
given the $1,000 sWag to Oliver
with his four-round aggregate OF
276, IL under par. But then the
ball suddenly toppled into the cup
Cuts divers Margin:
That tantalizing finish enabled
Locke to whitt1e three strokes from
Oliver on yesterdays final 18 holes
and force the two 1S-hole playof1
rounds.
Locke, who has won 5000 in four
out of nine tourney triumphs since
he waded into American competi-
tion four months ago, figures to
gain only $4,000 it he stands of
Oliver, who currently is sixth on
the PGA money list with $8,490. His

takes care of the bulk Of his win

| South African, however, went one

cut win when his wedge-shot on

Chunky Oliver, IA under par at
54 holes, came apart on the final Ia
when he carded five of the eight
one-over-pars he had for the entire
four rounds. His putter failed him
five times from within six feet.
Furgol Finishes Third.
Two strokes off the pace was Ed
Furgol of Royal Oak, Mich, who
finished with q u for 278. Furgol
was breezing along menacingly until
the 62d hole when his drive hit 9

Parker Settles Score
With Schroeder in
Clay Court Win
BY the Asseeiafed Press

SALT LAKE CITY, July Z
National clay courts tennis cham
pion for the fifth time, black-haired
Frank Parker felt today he has
settled a personal score with Davis
Cup teammate, rangy Ted Schroe-
der.
Parker, defending the champion
ship he first won in 1888, gave his
rival thorough trimming in
straight sets yesterday, 8-6, 60,
6A.
This was the first time the two
stars had battled for championship
since they returned from Americas
successful invasion OF Australia for
the Davis Cup challenge round last
December.
Jack Kramer and Schroeder
played for the United States In
the two singles matches, and Parker,
generally regarded as the choice
for the No. spot, stayed on the
sidlines.
1--WE brought home the Davis
Cup, yes, but 7 think we'd still have
won it if I had played" Parker
said after his victory. I'm glad I
had this chance to prove my con-
vicition I'm the better player"
Schroeder shrugged of his loss
with the comment that ''he played
very good tennis, no question about
it," He is rated No. 2 nationally
behind Kramer, with Parker in the
third spot.
A new women's singles cham
pion was crowned when Mary Ar
mold Prentiss completely outclassed
youthful Dorothy Head, 6-1, 6-1.
The mems doubles title was won
by Schroeder and Jack Tuero, who
outlasted Seymour Greenberg and

Harry Armstrong, Henry's closest

three-time world champion made
excellent use of the iron mask while
protecting cuts over his eyes in

20th Century Club
To Bring Conqueror
OF Baksi 10 u. ).
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July THE 10th
Century Sporting Club cabled Lew
Burston, it's travelling talent scout
in Paris, today telling him to bring
Ole Tandberg, Swedish champion,
to this country as a result OF his
victory over Joe Baksi.
Tandberg won g. 10-round dis
puted decision from the Kulpmont,
(Pa.) slugger at Stockholm yester-
day.
The cable, sent In response to one
from Burston seeking instructions,
said Tandberg should be brought
here either to meet Baksi in a re-
turn bout, to fight Joe Louis for
the heavyweight crown, or to meet
some other opponent.
STOCKHOLM, July 7 [R).-,.Confu-
sion was general throughout the
heavyweight division today, be-
cause Ole Tandberg upset Joe Baksi
and a lot of plans here yesterday by
granting a disputed decision in their
10-round boxing bout.
With the possible exception OF
Tandberg, nobody was more sur
prised than Baksi-a 3-to-1 favor
ite-when the referee and one of the
judges awarded the decision to the
red-haired Swede and the other
judges called the fight a draw.
Swedish sports writer's and home
town fans threw up their hands in
amazement and Baksi's handlers
questioned the decision in terms
of open disgust.
But unanswered was who, If
anybody, is going to climb into
the ring with Joe Louis this year
to challenge him for the world
heavyweight crown he has worn for
decade.
There were few who gave Tand-
berg as much as an outside
chance to register the upset he did,
and the Swedish victor doesn't seem
to fancy himself as suitable op-
ponent for the champ.
st think Louis is still too big
for me-" Tandberg said, Il should
prefer to fight Bruce Woodcock
next"
The fight drew gate of approx
imately $4,000, with Baksi getting
around $25 900 as his share and
Tandberg about $4,000.
