3-year-old trotters battle it out
tomorrow in the $106.830 sulky

Never since the race was in

such a classy group of con-

most of the entries capable Of
threatening the Hambletonian
record Of 2 minutes fiat set in

he, reminded. assee 49,
( Hackett, from an old Ohio

He is Frederick Green. an

The world" champion will
pocket $4,000 in cash and a
$50. 900 exhibition contract from
May-making each shot of the
winner worth about $3.50 for the

take-all tally of 10-under-par

by Lew Worsham, who had to
sink an eagle 2 with long wedge
approach on the final green to
do it.
In all, Mays prize list for the

ment payof in sports history.
In Mays first tourney, in 1941,
Byron Nelson won at the age of

est for winner.
Littler's Case Unique.
Experts agree that Littler, "a
two weeks ago. and Australia's
Thomson, %, British Open
champion who heads a field of
some 40 overseas entries, could
go all the way.
Litter, whose case is unique
in PGA history, has a strong
following.
The youngster who was shoot
ing in the COS at the age of II,
won the 1858 National Amateur
crown. In January he defeated
the Nations top pros to take
the San Diego Open. Soon aft
erward he turned pro and had
to serve a mandatory six months
under PEA rules before he was
eligible to accept money for
tournament winnings.
In the last six months, Idttler
has played in eight tournaments,
finishing in the money in each.
He figures that he has won about
$4,000, but actually has col
lected only $3.50.
