CARNOUSTIE, Scotland, July
11.-Ben Hogan has proved,
even to skeptical Scots in this
birthplace Of the game, that
he is the modern-day wonder
Of golf.
The Texan, four-time winner
of the United States Open, shot
q magnificent 282, four strokes
better than anybody else at Car
noustie. to win the British Open
championship yesterday with a
4-under-par final round of So.
Through the stretch drive he
ignored chills. influenza and
aches from old injuries received
in a 1949 auto accident to cap
ture the coveted title in his
first try-something no other
American ever was able to do.
Jones Missed On First Try.
The great Bobby Jones, win
ner in 1927 and 1880, was among
the also-ranS on his first at
tempt. The old master, Walter
Hagen, a four time British Open
winner, finished 55th on his first
trip and Gene Sarazen, who took
the 1882 title, failed to qualify
in his first attempt.
The Scots took Hogan to their
hearts as they saw him limp
down the last fairway. Courage
and the love of golf are two quail
tiles highly priced in this north
country.
Hogan made sure he'd not have
to take part in any 36-hole play
off as he blazed away with sub
par golf. He was so tired after
playing 72 holes in three days
that it was questionable whether
he could have gone any farther.
Happy but Very Tired.
Coming of that last green,
wher, he shot a birdie-4 and
with the cheers of the crowd
ringing in his ears, Hogan said:
I'm happy but so very, very
tired. Don't even mention the
possibility of a playoff. don't
think can make it,"
At that time, Antonio Cerda of
Argentina was a couple of two
somes behind Hogan with a
f1lickering chance to tie.
But Cerda never came close.
He finished with a 286 in four
way tie for second with Frank
Stranahan, Toledo, Ohio, anna
teur. Dai Hees, a good-natured
Welshman, and Peter Thomson,
Australia's promising young
golfer.
Next came Roberto de Vicenzo
of Argentina with a 287. He
was the co-leader with Hogan
after the morning round. Sam
King. former British Ryder Cup
golfer, followed with a 200, and
Defending Champion Bobby
Locke of South Africa with a

CHICAGO. July 11.-Bob Fell
Ter, "a, once the blitz-ball pitch
ing terror of the American
League, may be back in form for
the Cleveland Indians.
Feller last night jumped into
the Indians pursuit of the Yam
KEGS with his first shutout since
1851 and his third consecutive
victory.
That came on an excellent To-
inning. five-hit performance
which gave the right-hander
from Van Meter. Iowa, 80 de-
cision over the White Sox in the
opener of a twin bill witnessed
by Comiskey PARIS largest 1853
crowd. 48,542.
Poised and Efficient.
Feller was a poised, efficient
hurler as he bested Chicago's
26-year-old Billy Pierce in a
whale of a pitching duel settled
in the extra frame on singles by
AL Rosen and Luke Easter which
nudged across three Indian runs.
It was the first time in two
seasons that Feller had won three
games in a row and marked his
first shutout since he whipped
the Browns, TO, September 7,
1851.
Feller, one of modern base
balls greatest pitchers. now has
AZ major league shutouts. The
record is 113 by Walter johnson
over 81 seasons.
Feller achieved his fifth vic
tory against four defeats this
season with the masterful use of
a curve ball. He struck out only
two, but his control was sharp.
Pierce held the Indians to six
hits-including three in the 10th
and struck out nine to boost his
league lead to SO.
Up until last night, Feller had
started 13 games but completed
only 4 and had an earned-run
average of 3.74 this seano.
White Sox Win Second.
Feller's performance preceded

Tom Fool Heavily Backed
To Wrap Up Triple Today
Victory in Brooklyn
Would Make Sweep
BY the Asseeiated Press

NEW YORK, July 11.-Tom
Fool goes after the $4,000 added
Brooklyn Handicap today and
victory would give the Greentree
Stable ace his sixth straight and
the distinction of being the Sec
ond horse in history to complete
the handicap triple.
Not since another Greentree
star, Whisk Broom II, won the
Metropolitan, Suburban and
Brooklyn Handicaps 10 years ago
has a horse captured all three Of
the coveted turf classics in the
same year.
And only one horse ever packed
1876 pounds to victory, such as
Massa Tom is asked to do today
in the IA mile test. Discovery
won under 1876 in 1886.
Tom Fool Heavy Choice.
Although heavily weighted. the
4-year-old son of Menow is ex-
pected to be the heavily played
choice It wouldn't be surprising
to see him go postWard as low as
to 20.
Six others have been named
for the race, but they have
showed nothing to indicate
they'll offer Tom Fool any argu-
ment once Jockey Ted Atkinson
gives the big colt the word.

RivuIry Of 2 Royals
Dominates Gold Cup
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

INGLEWOOD. Calf, July IL.
Rivalry between two imported
horses. Irish-bred Royal Sere-
made and English bred Royal
Vale, dominated the scene today
as a field of eight awaited the
start of the 100000 Hollywood
Gold Cup Handicap.
|, Virtually lost in the weller of
words devoted to the two fine
5-year-olds from abroad were
the other candidates in the mile
and a quarter attraction-Calu-
met Farms A Clean and Fleet
Bird; Indian Hemp. Royal Sere-
nade's running mate from Ire
land; Lights Up, Ali's Gem and
Stranglehold.
The consensus viewed the 14th
running of the Gold Cup, with
it's guaranteed net of 100000
to the winner, as a two-horse
race.
The more cautious, however,
retained faith in a stable that
won the last two editions of the
fixture and has a habit of
knocking off the bigger stakes
in California.
Looking for Upset.
That would be Calumet, and
the outside chance that Trainer
Jimmy Jones could fashion an
upset with either of his hopefuls,
the f1lly A Clean or Fleet Bird.
Calumet captured the Gold
Cup in 1851 with its great Cita-
ton, which made the horse a
millionaire winner that after
noon, and last year came through
with the mare Two Lea.
Past performances plainly IA
vored the two Royals. though,
and the betting by the $4,000 or
more fans bore this out.

Jones Chuckles at Query
If Hogan Is Greatest

NEW YORK, July IL (P.-
Bobby Jones chuckled when
asked to comment during
stopover here yesterday on the
argument as to whether he or
Ben Hogan. the new British Open
champion, should be acclaimed
as the greatest player.
How could you make a COM
parison?" he asked, Il never
played against him. We were in
two different eras."
Jones said he had played Car
noustie, the course where Hogan
won the open, only once, and at
that time there were so many
people he couldn't tell much
about the course.
1T was a fine victory for Ben,"
Jones commented. "A fine vic.
tory for a very fine fellow"

day, turning in cards of "A
and 70.
Hogan showed q true cham
pion'S heart at the 454-yard
par-four 18th hole which had
buffaloed him in the morning
round. He tanned it all right in
the afternoon.
With an excellent chance Of
cracking the courses competi-
tive record of SO in the morning
round, Hogan hung up a horrible
6 at the 17th. His drive was
good enough but his second shot
went deep into a bunker, short
OF the green. He pitched out
weakly, then took three puts to
get down from 30 feet and ended
up the morning round with 70.
The Texans facial muscles
frightened noticeably when he
stepped up for his tee shot on
the 17th in the afternoon. This
time he played it right. His
drive was short of the burn
(brook). His approach was dead
on the line all the way, stopping
40 feet short of the cup. When
he walked up to the edge of the
green, he carefully removed his
shoe, emptied out the sand and
then measured the distance. His
bold first putt missed by a foot
but he got down in four.
No Thoughts of Retiring.
But the champions greatest
shot came at the fifth in the
final round. Deeply bunkered
with a bad angle, he Clipped
into the hole from 80 feet for
a birdie 3. After that he really
caught fire.
1t was fitting that Hogan won
the British Open at Carnoustie.
This old seaside course with its
unofficial par of 36-36-72 served
as the cradle for American golf.
Through the years, Carnoustie
has sent 200 professionals to the
United States.
Having proved to the British
he belongs in the same class with
the never-to-be-forgotten Jones,
Hogan and his wife, Valerie, plan

fore returning home.

TEACH YOUR CHILD TO PROTECT
HIMSELF FROM FIRE To SAVE LIVES

How do yoa teach a. little achild
aboslt fire? When do you start?
Between the ages of one and six,
1 child must be transformed from
4 wholly dependent infant, fully
protected from the danger of fire,
I'd a safely independent school
child.
Current statistics show that
more children are burned to death
than are killed by any other form
OF accident.
Parents are not lacking in gen.
eral fire prevention and firecon-
troll knowledge, according to the
institute For Safer Living of the
American Mutual Liability Insur-
ance Company. But the appalling
number of manned, Scared and
fatally burned children could be
-drastically reduced il parents real
ized the Importance Of beginning
tire education early, the Institute
says. Z
Here are the basic things to
femember in teaching the 1-6
year-old child about the nature
and control of fire.
Try to instill caution rather
than fear in your child. Your own
attitude is the best example.
Don't snatch creeping baby away
from an open fireplace with a
Mortified shrek. Remove h i m
from danger calmly and tell him
the fire is hot and will burn.
Don't under estimate the value
of pain as a teacher, when your
toddler's fingers are burned, don't
soothe him with an overdose of
misplaced affection. Point out his
lesson In terms of cause and effect.
The lesson is lost If the child sees
Id the accident an opportunity to
gain affection.
Don't Over-protect your child.
Give your 8 year old small respon-
sibilities connected with any fire
making activity. Let him place the
fire screen in front of the fire
place, guard the burning trash, or
light the leaf bonfire while you
are present. Each new responsible
ity will provide an opportunity for
lesson in fire safety.
Finally, don't make a moral
Issue Of fire education. Never ac-
cdse a child curious about fire of
being naughty. Teach him that fire
is to be used, not played with.

FuIda Selected
AS European
City of Youth

FULDA, Germany - (NC)-Ful-
da, site of the tomb of st. Boni-
face, Apostle of the Germans, has
been proclaimed "City of Europ-
can Youth" This decision was
made at a rally of 5000 young
people from Germany, France,
Denmark, Holland, Italy and Aus
tria who belong to the European
Youth League.
Thousands attended a PontificaI
Mass celebrated by Bishop Johan-
mes Dietz of Fulda. Speakers at
the rally pointed out that Fulda
for more than 1000 years has been
stronghold of Faith. The city
which is barely 20 miles west of
the Iron Curtain should become a
symbol of unity with the peoples
suppressed by communism. A
French speaker pointed out that
friendly relations between France
and Germany are at the core Of
the problem OF European unity.
