The defending champion, Lighthorse Harry Cooper of Chicago, and Horton Smith, who also has cashed in on first place money, were five strokes out of the first place tie, and Johnny Re- volta, Evanston, Ill, had three strokes to pick up in today’s 18 holes. In front of the list were Abe Es- pinosa and Ky Laffoon, Chicago, Wild Bill Mehlhorn, Louisville; Gunnard Johnson of Minneapolis, and Byron Nelson, Ridgewood, N. J., who dared @ hot sun and later a rain and wind swept 72-par course to post 68's Fri- day, and lead another group of four players by one stroke. Placing in the runnerup group were Ralph Guldahl, St. Louis; Clarence Doser, Rochester, N. Y., and Dick Metz, Lake Forest, Ill, all of whom had 69's. The only 70 shooters were Len Dodson, Springfield, Mo., and Jimmy Thomson, Shawnee-on- Delaware, Pa.; Revolta and Willie — Salada Beach, Calif, oe 's. Trailing further behind were such Players as Tony Manero, the national open champion, with 77; MacDonald Smith of Glendale, Calif. with 74, and Johnny Dawson, Chicago, one of the leading amateurs, who could do no better than 79. Better playing conditions were pre- dicted for Saturday's play as the field battled for the 60 low places open for Sunday's final 36-hole competition. Other 18-hole scores included: P. R.

By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer ‘Tommy Armour once said: “The art of finishing a hole lies in the ability to save shots on and in the vicinity of the green. ‘Tom Creavy had this art at Wan- namoisette Country Club in 1931, when he defeateed Denny Shute, 2-1, in the finals for the P. G. A. cham- Pionship. Time and again Creavy found him- self short of the green, but this never daunted him. With chip shots and putts Creavy turned into victory what might have been a rout. Looking at the highlights of the final match: Creavy short on the first hole, chipped up for one putt that halved the hole. Short again at the second, e chipped 10 feet from the pin to his par and another half.

In a day that saw headline develop- ‘mond, the 1986 homicide squad equal- jled an American League home run jrecord and set an assortment of other 1 | marks Friday with a 9-4 conquest of |the Tigers, which sent the world’s jchampions down, to. fourth place in |American League. In other big league sectors, the New | York Giants also did some record jequalling; the St. Louis Brown in par- {ticular and the baseball world in gen- {eral learned that “Sunny Jim” Bot- ‘tomley planned to retire in a few days; Rookie Stu Martin of the Card- inals and veteran. Al Simmons of the Tigers were laid up with stomach ail- ments. fe Dizzy Dean Does His Job Dizzy Dean,-with only 24 hours rest from his last - pitching assignment and not yet recovered from a week- old injury, saved the Cardinals from their third straight defeat, and the gold plated Boston Red Sox moved in- to third place in the American League. Red Rolfe, Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey poled out homers in the third ‘inning of the Yankees-Tiger game to ;equal the league record for homers jin one inning, set by the Senators in 1902 but equalled several times since. Joe Moore, Mel Ott, Hank Leiber ‘and Ed Mayo of the Giants belted jthree-baggers in the first ‘against the Pirates to deadlock the 'National League mark for triples in one frame. New York defeated the |Pirates 6-0 as €arl Hubbell, in top- |flight form for the first time in a month, allowed only five hits. Will Take It Easy Bottomley, who has a strained back and $100,000, chose Boston to announce he would take care of the former and live on the latter at the end of the ;|Browns’ current road trip. His announcement, ending a 14-year first-basing career, came as the Browns were dropping a 2-1 decision to the Red Sox on Jimmy Foxx’s two- Tne et the bases loaded in the ninth. Stu Martin, . sensational Cardinal rookie, went to a hospital with acute indigestion and Manager Frankie Frisch went to second base. “The Phillies threatened to make it three straight over the Gas House gang, until “old Diz” Dean stopped them cold for the last three and rookie Johnny Mize hit a homer in the eighth to give the Cards a 5-3 win. Dodgers Support Mungo The fect fielding and good batting sup- port, and their right hand ace let the Reds down with ‘seven hits for a 5-3 Brooklyn victory. The Bees finally found in Curt Davis 8 Chicago Cub pitcher they could hit in a 5-1 decision. ‘The Cleveland Indians chalked up their seventh straight victory, taking over the Athletics 5-1 while the club- an 18-hit 16-5 triumph.
