MEN ADMIT BREAK AT KNlK DRIVE IN

Territorial police this week an- nounced the solving of the break in at Knik Drive In a week ago Tuesday. Robert A. Poggas, F, and Eugene R.

They were Paul Toon, Dean Todd and Dale Hope.
 Poggas told officials that on December they broke in the drive in and took two cartons of cigarettes, a box and one half of candy bars and $32.50 in cash.
 The five men were believed in several other breaks during the past few weeks, including the Pomeroy Construction Co. offices in Anchorage where safe and walk-in vault were footed of nearly $500.
 They are expected to be turn ed over to the U. s. attorney for prosecution.

MONEY TAKEN M LATEST. BREAK-lN

City and territorial police are still working on the break-in at the Palmer Fountain and Cafe that occurred sometime between Saturday night when Jolma Kut- tula, owner, closed his place of business and Sunday night at l0:15 when he discovered the safe-cabinet in the cafe office had been forced open and between $40 and $50 taken.
 The missing money was in bills and silver dollars. Several rolls of money were not taken.
 City Police Chief Bernard Bou- Wens said entry was apparently made through the front entrance by forcing a spring-type lock. A hammer and chisel was found near the safe and believed to have been used in opening the cabinet door.

 erican Legion, attended the De-
 cember 8 meeting of the Palmer
 mer City Council, with an offer to
 sell the American Legion build
 ing located near the Palmer Drug
 store to the City of Palmer for
 a stated amount. The men told
 council members that the organ ization would also consider meet
 ing with the city council to dis cuss the possibility of renting the

 tion to buy. The proposal will be referred to the city planning com mission to review the disability of the building for city needs.

As Lopat Registers
His Seventh Straight
BY The Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND. June 13.-The
Yankees blasted their way
through four pitchers today to
stretch their winning string to
16 with a 9-4 win over the In
dians.
Opening their first-place mar
gin over the second-plac Tribe
to 812 games, the Yankees backed
the tight pitching of Ed. Lopat
with a 10-hit attack. Four of the
blows came in a four-run fourth
inning.
Lopat, winning his seventh
straight without a loss, had a
six-run lead in the fifth before
Cleveland got its first run.

While providing Casey Stengel
with the biggest lead of his man

Lopat gave way to Ray Scar
borough in the eighth but posted
his 37th win over Cleveland
against only nine losses.
All the Tribes scores resulted
from home runs. George Strick-
land hit one in the fifth, Jim
Hogan in the seventh and in the
ninth Harry Simpson smacked
one after Bob Kennedy singled.

a problem to the Yankees, was

OAKMONT, Pa, June 13.-
Ben Hogan left the door to the
National open championship
ajar today, but Sam Snead
didn't walk in when he had the
opportunity. and all of a sudden
Ben shut it with loud bang.
The grim Texan putted the
title beyond Snead's reach with
one of those finishes for which
he is famous, getting brides on
the last two holes. and with a
f1ve-under-par total of 283 he
joined Willie Anderson and
Bobby Jones as four-time wi2-
ners of the greatest title in golf.
Hogan won the easy way-or
was it the hard way-as he be-
came the first to lead after
every round since Jim Barnes
did it at Columbia Country Club
in Washington in 1921.
Poor ole Samuel jackson shot
289, one over par for this mad
dening Oakmont course. With
a score that figured to be good
enough to win. he finished five
strokes back - second for the
fourth time in 13 tries.
Sammy Proves Wastrel.
Hogan played his bad round
this morning, a one-over-par 73
that included six visits to the
slightly-furrowed traps. And al
though Snead started the same
round with three brides in the
first four holes. he was was

close the margin to one stroke.

par, and his last two holes were
masterpieces. On the 292-yard
17th, a par 4, he drove the green.
The 18th he played with awesome
crispness. His tremendous drive
split the fairway. His f1ve-iron
(others used No. 2 and 3 irons
for second shots) bit into the
green some 7 feet to the right
of the cup. After playing partner
Dick Metz holed out for his par,
Ben unerringly dropped his putt
as a tremendous cheer rang out
from the thousands of spectators.
The majority of the pros may
not have been roofing for Hogan,
who may be a little. too good,
rich and aloof for their blood,
but the galleries bought Ben in
wholesale quantities. And when
it counted, Ben's game was i'm
mense. rewarding the spectators
in full.
Not Sticking Out Neck.
When photographers thrust
their way into the locker room
they asked Ben to pose. holding
up four fingers to signify that he
had joined old-tim star Willie
Anderson and Bobby Jones as a
quadruple Open winner. Ander-
son won in 1901. 1903, 1904 and
1905. Jones won in 1928, 1926,
1929 and 1880, or half of the
Opens won by amateurs,
mo, sirs,' Hogan said, shaking
his head. I'm not sticking my
neck out-not with Snead still
playing most of the back nine.
Stick around, fellows, and we'll
have the picture later"
Then. as an afterthought, he
added:
Maybe"
Hogan needn't have worried

Hogan Among Last to Admit
Victory After Blazing Finish
By Froncis Stonn
Sfor Stuff Corrasnondenf

PITTSBURGH, June 13.-At
approximately 5 o'clock Ben
Hogan won the SD National
Open golf championship today
at the Oakmont Country Club
after getting a birdie on the 18th
hole with a drive, a five-iron
and putt. Practically every
body conceded the little Texan
his fourth Open title, with one
notable exception-Hogan, him
self. I.
In the locker room, however.
Ben seemed to feel that he was
safely home, although Sam
Snead at the time was only on
the 14th hole. But Hogan, who
had predicted that 282 strokes
would win, appeared satisfied.
I'll say one thing" were
Ben's first words. I'm glad that
1t is over with"
do you think it's over?" a
reporter asked.
II meant my round" Hogan
said, mot the tournament. I
don't know what the other fellow
(Snead) win do"
"Are you willing to stand on
your 283 score?" he was asked.
Ben grinned and took a drink
from a scotch highball which had
been handed to him.
"Well", he said, tive got it
and there's nothing I can do
about replaying any shots. Yes,
] think I'll stand on it," &

virtually told Sam to come and
get it," Ben three-putted the
seventh from Is feet, missing a
second putt of 20 inches. He
bogied the eighth by trapping
his tee shot, and failed to birdie
the rather easy par S ninth.
That put him out in 38, one
over par.
But Snead. with the greatest
opportunity of his Al years, was
not making up any ground. For
the first time in four rounds
Snead failed to birdie the. par S
first, easiest hole on the course.
And eventually he missed the
green's with second shots on
three and seven for bogeys. He
managed to get out in even par
with a birdie on the ninth. His
putt for an eagle looked in, but
stayed out.
Ben Pours 1t On.
Hogan started the back nine
with three routine pars, then
rolled in a snaky 18-footer for
deuce on the 18th. He went
over par with a on the 458-
yard 18th, where the pin was
in an impossible position. Snead
now had a chance to tie.
The 18th hole Is an uphill.
292-yard par 4 where the drive
is the crucial shot. Ben said later
that he poured it on. 1.-THE ball
rolled onto the green and he
barely missed 45-foot put for
an eagle. but easily made his
birdie.
And with about two-thirds Of
the stampeding gallery of $4,000
lining the 18th fairway, Ben let
out His drive was one of the
longest of the tournament. and
his five-iron second shot hugged
the pin all the way and settled
3E2 feet away. He put down his
ever-present cigarette and holed
the putt for a birdie 3.
BOgey Follows Complaint.
Snead was playing the 18th
hole when Hogan was on l8.
After Sam complained to the
USGA officials about cameras.
he finally took 6 on the par S,
which he had to birdie to stay in
the running.

breakfast table at the Oakmont Club: "I'd

When Cary Middlecoff picked up on the
18th tee in huff, because of poor playing
and what he thought was starting time
too late to bef1t former Open champion, the
Memphis golfer was asked what be did
with Walter Burkemo, his playing part
ner. You didn't just leave him on the
tee to finish all by himself, did you?"
Middlecoff was asked. Not exactly"
