Nelson Shoots
is Third 69 in
P.G.A. Tourney
SPOKANE, WASH., Aug. 16-(P)-
Tournament favorite Byron Nelson
of Toledo, O., charged home at a
below-par pace today to defeat Mike
De Massey, San Jose, Calif., 5 and 4
in their 36-hole first round match
of the 1944 national P. G. A. cham-
pionship.
The former U. S. open and P. G.
A. titlist, shooting a 3-under-par 69
on the first eighteen, held a 5 up
lead at the half-way mark. He lost
a hole on the third nine and was 4
up at the 27th.
At the 30th, he had increased the
margin to six holes, lost the 31st and
coasted ou to victory with a par 4
half on the 32nd.
Nelson's 69 this morning was his
third successive round at that figure.
The man to course requires 36-36-
72 for par. De Massey finished the
first round at 75. He carded nine
straight 4s on the third nine. Nelson
finished three under par for the 32
holes played.
VeteranyWillie Goggin, White
Plains, N. Y. was an easy winner in
his first round match, swamping
Purvis Ferree, Winston-Salem, N. C.,
8 and 7.
Goggin, runner-up to Gene Sara-
zen inthe 1933 P. G. A. tournament,
tossed a one under par 71 at his
rival to hold a 5-up advantage at the
18th.
Derricotte Lost
To Wolverines
Michigan's football team lost its
second man to the armed service in
two weeks when Gene Derricotte,
freshman scatback from Defiance,
Ohio, passed his Army physical.
Derricotte's call is expected to
come before the season opener with
the Seahawk's of Iowa Sept. 16. His
loss follows Dick Rifenburg's enlist-
ment in the Merchant Marine two
weeks ago.
Derricotte had shown well in prac-
tice, drawing praise from Head
Coach Fritz Crisler. He was a can-
didate for the tailback slot with Bob
Nussbaumer and Bill Culligan.
Though smaller than most backfield
candidates, Derricotte was one of
the hardest runners on the squad~and;
an accurate passer, but he was con-
tinually plagued with minor injuriesI
during summer practice.

Within a Half Game of
Second Place Red Sox
BOSTON, Aug. 16.-(P)- Rudy
York's three-run homer, a 425-foot
clout, in the seventh inning gave the
Detroit Tigers a 4 to 2 triumph over
Boston today in the first of a four-
game series before 3,078 spectators
and moved the Tigers to within a
half game of the second place Red
Sox.
In winning his seventh victory in
18 starts this season, Ruffus Gentry
gave up only seven hits, two more
than his opponent, Rex Cecil, who
was working his second game for the
Red Sox and making his debut as a
starter. He recently was purchased
from San Diego of the Coast League.
The Tigers, who have won ten out
of 12 games of their current road
trip, trailed the Red Sox until the
seventh. Boston grabbed a one-run
lead in the opening frame and added
another run in the third before De-
troit scored in the sixth.
Gentry led off in the seventh and
was safe when Ervin Fox dropped
his fly. Roger Cramer walked and
Eddie Mayo sacrificed. Outlaw pop-
ped out and then York hoisted his
homer into the centerfield bleachers,
scoring behind Gentry and Cramer.
The Tigers, who lost a three-game
sweep to Boston the last time the
two nines tangled at Detroit, got
their other run in the sixth when
Dick Wakefield doubled to center
and advanced to third on Pinky Hig-
gins' fly. Paul Richards singled to
.left, sending Wakefield across the
plate.
The Red Sox combined a pair of
hits and a long fly to tally in the
third. Johnson slammed a double
off the leftfield wall and went to
third on Bob Doerr's single. Jim
Tabor flied deep to Cramer and
Johnson scored after the catch.

time University custom.
Sponsor of the dance is the Bomber
Scholarship Committee, a student
group which has as its purpose the
raising of $100,000 in war bonds
which will buy a bomber now and
later bring returning servicemen back

Scholarship Fund, which has so far
reached a mark of approximately
$29,000.

those functions with constructive
gains in the war effort. Several dan-
ces, a concert, and a carnival are
among the Bomber Scholarship
achievements.

Greene Asks for Health Checkup
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16--A)--Abe J. Greene, president of the
National Boxing Association, proposed today a plan of periodical psy-
chiatric and medical examinations to keep "punch drunk and anti-
quated" fighters from beating themselves to death or mental breakdown
on the comeback trail.
Asserting in a letter to all NBA commissions that "the manager's
avarice" always has been a big factor in putting such men back into
the ring, Greene urged that managers be made responsible for report-
ing any signs of mental or physical deterioration to the examining
boards which would be set up as adjuncts to boxing commissions.
Often it is difficult for a commissioner to determine in a routine
pre-fight examination whether a boxer is in shape to go, Greene said,
illustrating with the case of Lem Franklin, killed in a new Jersey bout.
Death was attributed to a blow on the chin that "carried to his
damaged brain center," Greene said, declaring that such conditions
can be diagnosed "only through a thorough medical examination such
as cannot be administered in a routine boxing check."
