Wrong ‘Way Ed Furgol Finds Gold At The End Of Rainbow On Golf Course | . Wrong Way Ed Furgol showed “em a couple of things when he ‘won the National Open Golf title. He proved that a straight line is unnecessary when playing big Money golf. He also proved that @ person can play a par game with- out a good left arm—that golf is a Tighthander’s game. The popular 37-year-old pro with the withered left arm, after seven years of failure on tour, has reached out and plucked a rainbow that could be worth $50,000 during the next 12 months, He did it by using his head at Baltusrol in Springfield, N. J., where he beat 161 of the world’s best swing, chip and putt artists rounds devoid of any 6’s. When his 260-yard shot from the went into the woods be- e 18th fairways of the up- lower courses he decided ive a provisional tee shot. er, upon reaching his first saw an opening to the left. Tules committee agreed he play the “wrong” course. he ‘took his 8 iron and hit the 130 ay u SRzE Hal FEeh? of the inactive course. for his third stroke he picked 7 iron and made a beautiful 150- shot which brought him back the championship course. About 8,000 people witnessed the Z as It gave him a par 5 on the 545- yard hole and a 284 total. ‘The yardage figures are Furgol’s own estimates of the distances. his first three shots traveled which also proves one can play safe golf after getting into trouble. As aj Legion Nine Accepts High School Game The American Legion Junior Baseball team has accepted the challenge of the former Key West High School All-Star Baseball team for a game to be played Thursday night at Wickers Field at 8 p.m. The Legionnaires Junior baseball team defeated the former High School Stars last Thyrsday night by one run.

Coach Harold Allen will use the following line-up: Julio Henriquez catcher; Biff Salgado, first base; George Haskins, second base; Eloy Rodriguez, 3rd base; Gibby Gates, shortstop; Harold Solomon, Ev- erette Atwell, Fred Curry, D.

Furgol, born March 22, 1917 and not in 1918 as books show, is not to be confused with the many Furgol’s playing the ancient game. His wife runs the pro shop at Westwood when he plays an occasional tournament. His brother Hank, 39, is pro at the Valley, View course in Utica and anothér brother’ Ted, 30, is a carpenter. Ted got up at 4 o’clock the morning of the final day and drove 250 miles to root} Ed home and also act as his valet. “He had a playground accident at Utica (N. Y.) when he was 11 years old,” says Ted. “He fell from a parallel bar. He had three major operations to try to get his left elbow set properly but it nev- er came around.” After his accident his doctor suggested golf as a means of ex- jercising the arm. At first Ed didn’t take to the game but every chance he got he would strength- en the hand by gripping anything | handy. Many other pros believe his stiff | |left arm, inches shorter than his right, is in his favor. Be that as it may, Ed still has a strong left hand and puts a lot of body pivot and shoulder into his shots. He naturally has a powerful right hand, wrist and arm. | Of his $7,000 first prize he gave $1,000 to his caddy. His 71 the first day put him in a three-way tie for fifth place. His 70 the second day gave him a two- way tie for. second place. After his third round 71 he held a one- [enue lead. They never caught him. He was that steady.—AP.

Joe Cunningham, playing his first major league game drove in rence, making his second start, wort his second game. Rip Repulski homered twice for St. Louis.
