he ever is in contention again, it's a mil
lion-to-one shot he won't lose it In the
excitingly unbelievable fashion he fritz
tered it away "a years ago.
1t was strictly Robert Ripley stuff, and
rather than play it by ear the files Of 1899
were again sought out to recreate the
crusher. Snead needed only par on the
558-yard finishing hole for 1888 and the
title.
He didn't get It. That triple-bogey
gave him 286, two shots behind Byron Mel
son, Denny Shute and Craig Wood, who
finished In triple tie. Here's the blow-by-
blow description of the biggest explosion
since Mount vesuvius erupted without
notice:
"He topped his tee shot, hooked his Sec
ond into a bunker short of the green,
fluffed one in the sand, knocked his fourth
into another bunker, finally got on the
green with his fifth, 40 feet away, then
S-putted for an g."
The reporter, caustically lovable fell
low, the late Walter McCallum, added:
ANY l0-handicap man with a reasonably
good swing could play that 558-yard 18th
hole on this course In shots. But Snead,
with the Open championship depending on
an easy par S, took whacks at hole that
isn't as hard as the fifth at Columbia or
the eighth at Chevy Chase"
THERE HAVE BEEN near misses for
Snead since then, but none as memorable.
In ls47 he lost to Lew worsham in a play
off, and he's finished second In the Open
on several other occasions. Snead, I think,
has made more money losing the Open,
especially that 1899 classic, than number
OF golfers have In winning COLTS biggest
prize.
He'll always be remembered as the guy
who took an 8, while plenty Of former Open
champions walk around golf courses un-
recognized. In a way the experience at
Philadelphia put Sam In the same bracket
with Jack Dempsey after the long count
at Chicago and Roy Riegels for running
the wrong way in the Rose Bowl
As far as being probably finished"
after that episode, well, It's not quite true
Snead has won three Masters champion
ships, the British open, three PdA titles,
l0S various tournaments and has made
COLTS Hall Of Fame. Additionally he's made
the Ryder Cup team seven times and has
won slew OF other honors.
He's also collected well over $35O,00O in
official Pea tournament money. And as
Sambo himself says, winding up pitch In
television commercial: you Just amt
whistling Dixie, pardner."
Francis Siam is on vacation. His col
umn will be resumed In mid-July.

I believe 1t will be beneficial

If he can delay 1t a split Sec

Three GOphers Hurt
Stenhouse, who led Washing
ton pitchers in giving UP home
runs last year, had his 60
pher pitch pretty well under
control until last night. Bres-
soud hit his into the left field
screen In the second, Carl
YastrZemski blasted a long one
into the seats In right In the
third, and Dick Stuart hit his
18th into the screen in the
fourth.
Stenhouse gave up "a home
runs last year and now has 10
against him this season. The
Red Sox had only two hits in
six innings, other than the
homers.
Monbouquette won his sixth
in a row, although he might
have been chased in the first
inning. Brinkman led off with
a single to center and King
ripped a single to right, Brink
man going to third. However.
Chuck Hinton and Osborne
struck out and Lock flied to
center.
Monbouquette famed Os-
borne three times and Hobie
Landrith and Stenhouse twice
each as he rolled up 10.
NOTES-Minnie Minoso had
three lives as q pinch-hitter in
the ninth. Bob Tillmar made Q
blind stab at Minnie's foul fly
and missed. Stuart and Chuck
Schilling looked at each other
as his foul fell between them,
and Minnie finally lined to Ro-
man Mejias, who misjudged the
ball but recovered and grabbed
1t. Don Rudolph was ailing
when the Senators left home
and will join them In Cleve-
land.
Jim Bronstad worked out Of
a bases-loaded, none-out jam
in the eighth when Stuart
strolled to first after tapping to
Cottier. Cottier threw to the
plate and Stuart was out at
first. The fans poured 1t on
him, and added to it when he
missed Minoso's foul. Stuart
appears completely uncon-
cerned. The Senators have
made 81 double plays to their
opponents SO.

Here's One Golf Obituary
That Was Premature

THERE WAS THIS LITTLE story in the
papers the other day about fellow calling
himself Sammy Snead who qualified to
play in the National Open golf champion
ship for the 2Sd time. Don't believe it.
Must have been another guy playing
under an alias, Profumo or somebody like
him who is UNDERSTANDABLE publicity shy
these days. At any rate, 1t couldn't have
been THE Sam Snead. He was supposed to
have been washed up "a years ago.
You don't have to take my word for 1t.
It's in the papers, too. At first had forgot
ten about the 1899 incident, the year the
real Sam made 8 the hard way on the 72d
hole Of the National Open. so looked 1t
up to be definitely certain my memory
hadn't tricked me.
a There Is was, almost in black and white,
except for a streak of jaundiced yellow, the
way newsprint turns when it's tucked away
In storage waiting for occasions like this,
"a years later, to be read again.
H&s
& THIS PROBABLY MEANS the finish
for Sammy" the story, in the files for June
10, 1899, said. Pros have been known to 90
haywire after a dismal flop like that before
thousands of people. The only parallel to
1t Is the historic and tragic case of Roland
Hancock In 1929 at Chicago where the
burly North Carolinian needed two SIS to
win the Open and finished with brace Of
IS.
But even that flop is hardly as COM
plete and tragic as that OF the man
tSnead) they call the 'uncrowned king OF
golf.'"
There you have 1t, the two-paragraph
obituary" OF Samuel jackson Snead, who
blew the 1899 open by taking that hor-
rendous at Philadelphia on the last hole
when a would have given him the Open.
don't know how many people still
think Snead signed his golf death war
rant that day, but do know Snead isn't
one OF them. For a gaffer written off as
probably finished" he's been living pretty
high off the hog the last quarter OF
century-still in the pursuit Of a victory
in the Open, incidentally.
He's been doing so WELL In fact, that the
banks apparently don't have enough cash
boxes 10 hold the loot he's won over the
years They say he's got hunks OF IL
stashed away In tomato cans around his
$25OO0O home In White Sulphur Springs,
W. Va. and another pile hidden at his win
ter hangout in Boca Ration, Fla.
ssss
AT THE ACE OF 81 the chances Of Sam
ever coming as close TO winning an open
as he did In 1899 are as remote as the
possibility Of the Senators winning the
pennant. However. II miracle happens and

80 Ss-AA WAAsNA
BOSTON, June 10. - Last
night Gil Hodges held his first
fireside chat with the sena-
tors in his three weeks as
manager. but he still couldn't
talk them into producing q hit
at the right time.
It's not that the Senators
are misbehaving, or not
hustling. Hodges 50-minute
pre-game meeting was more to
warn them not to misbehave
and to keep hustling, or it
could be costly.
II thought I'd wait until 4
knew them a little better be-
fore / had a meeting Of this
type" Hodges said. Nov I be-
lieve we understand each other.
But I wasn't talking to any in
dividual. I was talking to the
squad"
Shortly after the meeting the
Senators were UP to some of
their old tricks. Dave STEM
house brought out his home-run
ball, and 10 Of the Senators
struck out against Bill Mon
bouquette. It added up to a
5-3 victory for the Red Sox
on a chill, drizzly evening.
The Senators end their brief
Boston stay with an afternoon
game matching Jim Duckworth
against Arnold Early, who will
be making only his second
start. Hodges planned to use
all Of the platooni1lg material
he has available, starting Min
ME Minoso in left, Tom Brown
at first and Don Leppert as
catcher against the southpaw.
Close to FrustratiOn
We're Just not hitting when
We need it the most" Gin said
last night in the closest he has
come to Illustration. what an
opportune spot in the first in
ming - runners on first and
third with the 3-4-5 hitters
coming up. And we don't get
a run.
Then we get two on base in
the fourth inning, and the
pitcher is up.
"And turn the opportunities
around" Gil added. They
have two on base in the second
inning with the seventh man
in the order UP Eddie Bres-
soud) and he hits q home run.
That's the way 1t has been
going"
The Senators matched their
highest run total in the last
nine days in the seventh in
ming. Pinch-hitter Dick Phillips
beat out an infield hit, Ed
Brinkman tripled to center and
Jim King lined his seventh
home run into the seats in

in coming around for his new
club. But there was nothing
slow about him against the
White Sox as he posted the
Tooth victory Of his l2-year
major league career.
Plagued by arm trouble and
control problems since he posted
a 2l-7 record for the Yanks in
1858, Turley showed a strong
arm as he set down the White
Sox. with only Pete Wards
sixth-inning single marring the
performance. He struck out
seven and walked four in bring
ing his record to 2-5, with Leon
Wagner's batting support. Wag-
ner went 4-for-4 and collected
his 18th homer.
Buzhardt, To, fell behind,
10, in the second inning Of the
opener but went on to retire
the Angels in order until the
eighth. BY then the White Sox
had pulled ahead on Nellie Fox
run-scoring single in the second,
Ron Hansen's sacrifice fly in
the third and Wards homer in
the seventh.
Costly Error
The Yankees tied it in the
eighth on Tom Tresh's double
and Joe Pepitones single. and
then won in the 10th when
Brooks Robinson opened the
door by muffing Bobby Rich
ardson's grounder. Richardson
moved around to score the
clincher on a sacrifice. q walk
and Roger Maris' single. It was
the Orioles fifth straight loss
and their 18th in Is games.
Davalillo was hit by a Hank

ming and was replaced by Jerry
Kindall, who started the In

in the seventh inning with a
double. A walk, two passed balls
and singles by Joe Adcock and
Willie Kirkland did the rest Of
the damage. The Tigers had
built an early lead on homers
by Al Kaline, Jake Wood and
Dick McAuliffe.
