Into Rugged Going
In Western Golf
BY .hs Assoeiossd Press

DES MONIES, July ia double
barrelled threat of sudden death"
hung over 80 survivors in the West
ern Amateur Golf tournament today
following a dizzy first round that
included II extra-hole matches
under a torrid Iowa sun.
Two l8-hole rounds were on tap
and there was potential danger for
such favorites as Frank Stranahan.
the defending champion, and Marvin
(BuO Ward. tournament medahst
and former titleholder.
In fact, Stranahan was fortunate
that he was around for another day.
His crown almost toppled under the
fire Of Milt Beal. slim 27-year-
old, who had the champ on the
ropes for 81 holes.
But in the end 1t was Stranahan
who came through. He won on the
22d hole with par 1.
The Stranahan-Beal thriller was
the first Of the II extra-hole matches
that established a new record for
the Western.
Ward. rated as the top favorite
along with Stranahan, didn't figure
in the extra hole business, but he
had rugged assignment in husky
David Dixon. Bud moved ahead
with a and l count after having
been hard pressed by the former
Tulane University student.
Ward had Hal Stone as his second
round opponent while Stranahan.
in the upper bracket, played Robert
Abrahams, Northwestern University

The Middle Atlantic PGA men,
bers are suuawking about the prize
distribution in the one-day tourna-
ments, and rightfully so. The sys-
tenn in use by the MAPGA and the
Maryland State for its one-day tour
naments is so bad that the more
players in the tournament, the less
money to the winner. Bobby
Brownell was so disgusted with the
way he was hitting the ball the
day before the Maryland Open that
he practiced almost four hours and
accomplished nothing. That night
Manor Pro Ciagett Stevens watched
Brownell take one practice swing
at an imaginary ball and told Brow
nell what he was doing wrong, which
was not shifting his weight in time.
Brownell knew he had contracted
flaw, but couldn't figure 1t out. He
went out and shot a 81 the next
round. .. Skip Alexander. the for
mer Duke golfer who tied for sec
ond in the National Capital Open,
has won all three 5000 tourna-
ments played this year while the
big-name pros were busy in closed
tournament. Skip won at Gaines
vile, Fla, Decatur and Peoria, Ill.
Kenwood's club champion, Charles
Price, is summer resident Of At
lantic City and will play in the
Philadelphia District amateur and
other tournaments in that section

ment, oldest on the Women's Dis
trict Golf Association schedule, is
the next event on the women's

they receive their pay checks.
They're getting runs. but they're
giving EN- away at a more rapid

If their pitchers can brace the
Mats still may be belated bid for
a first division berth, for they
finally are hitting. Stan Spence
roared out of his protracted slump
with six hits in yesterdays two
games after going hitless 18 con-
secutive times. Mark Christman de-

betting Hal Newhouser from the
mound for the first time In three

Hudson, Haefner Hurl.
The Mats attack seemingly has
steadied and only modest improve
ment among their pitchers still
could land them In the first division.
Bluege was hoping for immediate
recovery today when he dispatched
Sid Hudson and Mickey Haefner
to the mound against Al Benton and
Virgil Trucks.
Washington staked Walter Mas
terson to a SO lead In the first two
innings of the hrst game yesterday
at Newhouser's expense. McBride's
single, doubles by Vernon and Jerry
Priddy and Spence's single produced
three runs In the first inning and
