Hogan Owes PEA Title Victory
To Hot Play With Short Irons
BY fhs Assoeiotsd Press

ST. LOUIS, May 26.-Stony-faced
Ben Hogan, the great little pressure
player from Hershey, Pa. can thank
a great iron game for his second
Professional Golfers Association
championship and $500 boost to
the family bankroll.
Hogan beat veteran Mike Turnesa
of White Plains, N. Y, and 6,
yesterday in the final of the 30th
PGA tournament. mainly because
he was complete master of his
wedge and iron.
The prize money vaulted Hogan's
tournament earnings for this year
to S13,597.50 for 40 rounds of play,
second only in dollars and cents to
Lloyd Mangrum of Chicago, who
has picked up $l4,764.99 in 10 more
rounds.
Turnesa, one of three brothers
who have lost In the final of PGA
tournaments, simply didn't have the
strokes to match the sub-par shoot
ing OF the Texas-born Hogan.
With conceded puts Ben travelled
the seven days of golfing over the
short and hilly 6,467-yard Norwood
Hills Country Club Course in 35
under par for the 213 holes. That
included two rounds of qualifying
play.
Turnesa Ahead Of Tee.
Turnesa often outdrove Hogan but
performed feebly on many of the
greens. although he is regarded as
one of the better putters OF the
game. Three-putt jobs on two
greens had a crippling effect on the
popular New Yorker.
Always or the inside with his
brilliant approaches. Hogan tralled
only once during the day-on the
second hole Turnesa sneaked 20
footer into the cup. Ben evened the
match at the fourth, went ahead on
the fifth and from that point never
looked back. He was l up at the
turn Of the nine, 4 up from 18 and
up after the 9th.
Hogan was nine strokes under par
Yesterday when the match ended.
He completed the morning round in
32-33-65, six strokes under regula-
ton figures. Hogan went out in "a
In the afternoon, one under, and
closed the match with brides on
the 29th and 30th holes.
Turnesa went the distance in
s3-37-70 in the morning and was
out in "a after lunch. He had some
puts conceded.
Turnesa. who went to the quarter
finals in the 1945 PGA and who won
$500 as runnerup yesterday. had
the most spectacular shot of the
week. His 8-iron carried $50 yards
or more into the cup on No. is for
an eagle 2.
Hogan's best single stroke came on
the seventh hole. After approaching
IS yards over the green and under
a parked automobile, Ben waited
for the car to be moved, then calmly

Frankly, I don't know OF any

I might even go so far as to suggest

cording to the Associated Press.
Hickey said monotony of a job

eased by a well-planned sports pro-

Even though his Dodgers are far
down in the National League, Rick
ey said he doesn't think luck plays
much of a part In sports.
The minute you blame bad luck,
he said, you admit that you have

"If YOU want this medal come
on out and win it," said Bill
Havens to son Bill. ir., thumbing
a shiny new medal on his chest.
So Junior went out and bumped
the old gent off the wobbly end
Of a canoe. thereby beginning
q remarkable padding career.
That was 18 years ago, and
young Bill, now %, hasn't lost a
tilt since. and in canoe racing
circles is regarded as one Of the
leading candidates for a place
on the United States Olympic
squad.
The elder Havens, a robust
225- FOUNDER in his heyday. cut a
wide swath in canoeing circles,
holding the National one-blade
singles crown In 1924 and '25.
And for more years than cent?
peoe has toes he was kingpin of
the filters. This is a jousting
game in which contestants use
one another like billiard balls,
poking their rivals into drink
with long sticks, cushioned on
the end. Thus it was a distinct
surprise when young Bill sent
him splasling into the river.
At 6 feet 1856 pounds Bill. jr..
doesn't measure UP to the old
gent physically, but he has the
magical fitting touch.
Dusty Rhodes wins them for
me-" he said modestly, tossing a
bouquet to the other member OF
the team who sits in the stern of
the canoe, maneuvering it against
the enemy. Dusty asks EN-
which side they want to be
knocked off and that's the way
they usually leave"
