GOLF-Not very many knowledgeable observers fig
re that young Deane Beman and his gallant but unsuc-
eessul opponent Saturdays final round in the British
Amateur stand too much chance of winning the National
Open winged Foot two weeks from now True they are
playing well and have on tough tournament, but
Beman is mite young at 81 to win pair Of big ones
back to-back and Bill Hyndman. who made 1t an ALI
American final at Sandwich, is trife old at 4S.
But to tell this pair that it is necessary, following
flights against time, to qualify, is arbitrary.
The USGA isn't Just asking; it's demanding. Beman
must qualify or else So today at Congressional Country
Club the young Maryland University student will be playing
two roundafer 10 rounds Of competitive golf in England
last week and many rounds of more social type
IN order to qualify for the National Open.
The USGA is prideful house. Joe Dey, who runs it
pretty much is a stern unyelding go-by-the guy
who remains nice joe Notwithstanding what golf needs
But forcing young Beman to Jet himself back from Eng
land after winning of Americas top triumphs in recent
years order to qualify for the National Open borders
on the ridiculous.
What If the kid, dead tired and with the drive and
incentive sucked out of him by congraulatoy gestures
and welcome homes should fail to qualify? Benan should
be must any professional promoter viii agree He
fresh boxoce and he's already proved across the ocean,
that he knows which club and that he can play
under pressure Beman and Hyndman certainly deserved
better
RACING-Sword Dancer couldn't quite beat Tony Lee
in the rough Kentucky Derby could ne handle Royal
Orbit the Preakness but young Elliott Burch who trains
the colt obviously believes that when he has live one
he should run.
Sword Dancers victory in the Metropolitan Handicap
at Belmont was an impressive He licked 10 older
horses in the race that recalled notably the last one
Native Dancer ran-and This Is searching test
and Sword Dancer who nipped in the Florida Derby
as well as the Kentucky classic and Preakness became
the first 3-year-old to Greek Ship back in 1850
Greek Ship. that one is remembered He also was
a Brookemeade Stable colt But that wasn't all TO the
racing story Saturday There hecopter jock

but it looks as If the bus riding jocks will serve as well
Eddie Arcaro who rode Nadr, the 2-to-l fayorite In
the Metropolitan had his mount pull him up lame Then

aboard Ounce in the $4,000 Jersey Stakes
BASEBALL-Alas and alack the water seems to be
reaching its level 1t fun, though while 1t lasted.
Gee hrst-diyison club Killer Killebrew! Then the

The Senator's had their chance it must be admitted
over the Memorial Day week end. They we're playing
before big crowds and had Yankees opponents too
But Saturday they licked, liz and 110 and yester-
day it was by 80
The fact that our side couldn't run for Camilo
Pascua isn't surprising The Senator's myserousy rarely
get Pascual many runs But playing and losing three In
a row to the Yankees-25 runs to 2-is horrendous
showing Of batting skin.
