In spite Of his recent illness

some one else as the winner
there are 13 other former Open

Boros Making Comeback.
Boros managed to break
through the Hogan monopoly in
Ben'S home State of Texas two
years ago. The same year he
won the Tam O'Shanter world
championship and led all. the
pros in money winnings.
A virtual unknown up to that
time. Boros slipped back almost
into obscurity last year, but he
kept plugging away on the tour
nament trail and has made
something of a comeback.
Teamed with Dutch Harrison,
Boros tied for first in the Miami
four-ball tournament last Febru-
ary, losing the playoffs to
Tommy Bolt and Dick Mayer.
Then a month ago he won the
rich Ardmore (Okla0 Open.

money and $3.50 in bonuses.
Middlecoff, who stalked off the
course. during last years Open
because he was miffed over
starting times, has had a very
successful winter and spring
season. Although he hasn't won
a tournament this year, he has
taken home second money three
times and has been out only
once, collecting nearly $4,000
in tournament winnings.
Mangrum, who had trouble
with his clubs during the win
ter, apparently found a set to
suit him this spring. Since late
March. Lloyd hasn't finished
worse than 10th in any tourna-
ment and only last week he beat

A reservoir of power
locked in by engine deposits
can now be put to work, a
major oil company announces.
Power gains of as much as 15%
are reported with the use of
new gasoline additive, blended
into Shell Premium Gasoline and
sold under the trademark TCP.
A Shell discovery, this additive
neutralizes the deposits, pre-
venting spark plug misfiring and
"pre-ignition" caused by other
fuels.
TwO-Way Power Loss
Engineers explain that the de-
posits constantly accumulate in
an automobile engine and waste
power in two ways.
In combustion chambers these
lead and carbon deposits glow
red hot and set off the gasoline
air, mixture before the piston
reaches its proper firing position.
Engineers call this pre-ignition.
Power is held captive - the full
power of the engine is never
realized.
These same deposits, the engi.

plugs, where they cause the

Many other top pros have the

keep going. Harper, starting
with his National PGA triumph
in 1850, has played. the finest
golf of his career between the
ages of 36 and 40, and isn't

However, Chandler had to quit

He played one round in the

to give up.
''I've been to hospitals, had
checkups, and they don't seem
to know exactly what causes
the stomach pains. but say the
only thing to do is quit playing

Nelson had the greatest rec

World War II. Lately he has
been making frequent appear

You can bet Byron is about to

You can't blame Hogan, Snead,
Mangrum and the other top

turns out to be. There have
been better Guinness comedies,

small, arch mouse of a man who
