Griesmer. a keen student of
tournament golf, said the pros
were saying the same thing
about AL Mengert two years ago
that they were saying about
Litter now. "And I haven't
see Mengert in the prize list
lately" Harry added. He
turned pro too soon, like Littler
It's different putting for $4,000
and putting for tea set"
Jay Randolph, the George
Washington U. golfer who went
to the third round OF the Ma
tional Amateur last year, was IF
the opinion that the pros soon
would be on Littler for his slow
play. Randolph said he lines up
all puts from three sides. and
his match in the Amateur often
was several holes back of the
one in 'front.'.
Littler has a wonderful swing
but so do lots of others. West
land said Littler shows little
emotion in golf. When he won
the Amateur last year he said
I'm glad that's over" when his
final putt dropped. It was re-
marked at the time that it was
one of the first times he had
spoken while on the course.
AS a two-time Amateur cham

Seixas the most sustained hand

after he had STAYED off five
match points before winning the
third set.
After losing the first two sets,
Seixas made a thrilling come
back in the third set after he
trailed, SIS, in games with Rose
serving and holding a 400 lead.
That gave Rose three straight
match points. But the Phila-
delphian called on all his skill
and STAYED off all three. At

and a fourth match point, but
again Seixas rallied and went
on to win the game.

in the next game gained a fifth
match point at 40-30 on his
own service, but Vic forced TWO
errors from his AuSSie opponent

Vic forced the pace and forced
errors in the Goth game to win
the set.
This is how Seixas fought off
Roses four match points in the
18th game OF the third set.
l. Rose Melted Vic's good re-
turn of service.
2. SeixaS took a low volley
after a rally and hit it for q
clean winner to the baseline.
3. Seixas' hard low return
forced volley by Rose into the
net.
4. Rose Melted Vic's return of
service.
When Vic returned a service
cross court for a clean winner
to win the set, the crowd burst
into a roar.
Seixas twice had set point
from deuce in, the 18th game of
the first set, but lost both on an
out and a net.

GOSHEN, N. Y. Aug. 5.-New-
port Dream has caused Del Cam
eron a lot OF lost sleep in recent
months, but the determined little
harness racing driver must have
laid his head on the pillow with
a broad smile last night.
For. with all his aches. pains,
bandages and liniments, Newport
Dream tossed away the crutches
and went out to defeat IS rivals
in the $106 $50 Hambletonian
yesterday.
Newport Dream has been lame,
and still is, with mystery all
ment in the left foreleg, swollen
knees on both forelegs. and a
swelling in the right hook.
Wins in Straight Heats.
But the 2-year-old champion
of 1853 chilled the opposition in
two consecutive heats, whirling
around Good Time Parks tri-
angular mile in 2:02A, both
times to grab off the top prize
of $57,581.
A month ago Cameron said it
was a tossup whether he could
get the colt ready for the Ham,
bletonian. At winter quarters
in Pinehurst, N. c., Newport
Dream began showing lameness
in the left foreleg during mid
March. Three veterinarians
were called in, but none could
determine whether it was CEN
tered in the ankle or shoulder.
Finally they blocked a nerve
to try to pinpoint the spot, but
that worsened things-an in
fection developed.
Cameron, who trains for Own
er Octave Blake. master of the
Newport Stock Farm, South
Plainfield, N. j., never gave up.
Hes got a heart as big as
that bucket of oats" Del said,
land he's an amazing colt. He
seldom breaks stride-has done
it only twice in his races, both
last year when he lost two of his
% races. Why I've had to hit
him only once with a whip to
keep him from losing.
Some Sort of Virus.
1--WE have worked night and
day with him, using diathermy,
bubble baths, injections and
everything trying to locate the
trouble. I think he has some
sort of virus or infection in his
system" Cameron said the day
before the Hambletonian.
AS he talked, Cameron un-
wrapped four bandages from
Newport Dream and it required
Is minutes. It must have taken

an hour to put them back after
the colt was taken from his stall
for some exercise.
Newport Dream defeated Prin-
cess Rodney from the Walnut
Hall Stud, Donerail, KY, by
three lengths in the first heat
yesterday. Stanley Cooper's
Vicki Hanover was third. The
favored Stenographer, owned by
Max Hempt, Camp Hill, Pa, fin
ished sixth.
Before the deciding heat an
hour later. it was evident New
port Dream was lame walking to
the post. But he wouldn't quit.
He took the lead with about
three-eighths of mile remain
ing and held on desperately to
beat c. M. Provost's Harlan by
a head as the crowd roared.
Necks behind the first pair in
a blanket photo finish were
Princess Rodney and Stenogra-
pher.
5 to l in First Heat.
Largely because of his unfa-
vorable No. Is post position,
Newport Dream was more than
5 to l in the pari-mutuels be-
fore the first heat, as Stenog-
rapher went off the 6-to-5
favorite. In the second heat,
however, the winner was backed
down to II to 10. Newport Dream
had been the winter-book fa-
vorite despite his ailments be-
cause of his impressive record
last year.
Newport Dream, winner of
$94,934 last year, now has earned
a total of $154,390 for Owner

Circuit and head of an elec-
tronicS firm.

innings. Ted Williams drove in
three runs with his 10th homer

The Giants beat Chicago on

Thompson that brought in Wes
Westrum from second base after
two were out. Westrum's single
and a sacrifice by Relief Pitcher
Don Liddle set up the run which
ran the New Workers winning

In Brooklyn, the Cardinals

the Dodgers pull it out on Jackie
Robinson's homer with Junior
Gillian on base. The Cards out
