THE MICHITAN DAILY Hogan Has Three Stroke Edge in Western Open Hershey Pro Leads Crack Field at Three- Quarter Mark as Porky Oliver, Parco Lag BUFFALO, N.Y., July 31--(A)-The 45th Western Open Golf championship became another "Hogan Benefit" today. Bantam Ben, the hot-shot from Hershey, Pa., wheeled in with his third straight sub-par round, a 36-34-70 for a 54-hole total of 207, nine under par and three ahead of the field. Back of the National Open and PGA champion, also with a 34-36-70 was Porky Ed Oliver, the Seattle, Wash., fat man, with a 210 total.

A single by Joe Gordon with two out in the 11th scored Joe Tipton with the winning marker and sliced Boston's lead over the second place Philadelphia Athletics to half a game. The Indians, who play the Sox again tomorrow in a double header, remained in third place, two ' _____---__ Trabert W ins Maijo Lefa'guStandiugs "blew" to a rousing 36-39-75 to- day and fell into third place with 211. Oliver, the 1941 champion, faced the tough Sunday chore of making up three strokes over the little fellow who since mid-May has won the PGA, National Open, Inver- ness Four-Ball, Motor City and Reading, Pa., tournaments. Hogan Expected to Win Hogan, who has piled up $22,- 797.50 to lead the money-won field this year, is expected to make his usual speech-"thanks for the check"-after tomorrow's round. The leader fired five birdies to- day, but hit three poor shots which cost him a longer lead. On the par 5 fourth he "stubbed" his club on a short approach, moved the ball only a foot, and took a six. He was 11 under par coming to the par-four 17th, but banged his tee shot out of bounds and then three- putted for an enormous six, two over par. Hogan's putter was red hot most of the way, however, as he sank a 30-footer on 14, a 20- footer on number 8 and a 15-foot- er on 11, all for birdies. On the par five 13th and 16th holes he was on the green in two and held two putts for his birdies. Heafner Tied for Fourth Clayton Heafner, the drawling North Carolinian who topped the first day's play with a snappy 66 sprawled to 77 yesterday, fired his caddy and came back today with a 70. That boosted him from a 14th place tie into a fourth-place deadlock at 213 with Jimmy De- maret, the Beau Brummel from Ojai, Calif., who carded a 71. The field of survivors headed into tomorrow's final round withl 16 under par and two others even. Johnny Palmer, defending champ from Badin, N.C., appeared out of the fight as he rolled in today with 73 for a 222 total, 15 off the pace. The 214 total was the most pop- ular and populated one, nine play- ers being bunched there. They were the Turnesa brothers, Jim and Mike, former National Open King Lloyd Mangrum, Bobby Locke of South Africa, Skip Alex- ander, Toney Penna, Herman Bar- ron, Vic Ghezzi, and Stan Stas- zowski of Winstead, Conn.

BROOKLYN, July 31 - The Pittsburgh Pirates exploded for four runs in the ninth inning to- day to overcome the Brooklyn Dodgers, 5-2, before a crowd of 15,633. Hank Behrman's wildness along with the batting of former Dodgers Eddie Stevens and Stan Rojek cost the Dodgers the game. Behrman; who relieved Ervin Polica in the seventh, entered the final frame with a 2-1 lead. He walked Roman Basgall, the first batter, then Stevens belted a double to tie the score. An infield hit by Rojek and another pass loaded the sacks. Behrman then walked Ralph Kiner to force in what proved to be the winning run. Wally Westlake singled home two more and Behrman was re- placed by Paul Minner. The Dodgers threatened in the last of the ninth, getting the first two runners aboard off Elmer Singleton. Vic Lombardi, another ex-Dodger, came in to retire three batters in a row, two on strikeouts. DETROIT, July 31-The Phila- delphia Athletics put together a pair of three-run uprisings today and rode to an 8 to 3 decision over the Detroit Tigers behind the effectivesrelief pitching of Lefty Lou Brissie. The win hoisted second place Philadelphia within a half game of the League leading Boston Red Sox, who lost at Cleveland. Brissie relieved Bill McCahan with the bases loaded, nobody out and Philadelphia leading 4-3 in the third inning and re- ceived credit for the victory by scattering four hits the rest of the way. It was the lean lefthander's 11th victory against eight defeats. Art Houtteman, who started for the Tigers, failed to last through two innings and absorbed his 13th licking against only two wins. Four Philadelphia two-baggers figured in the scoring of seven of the A's runs. Eddie Joost and Hank Majeski each drove in a pair of runs with a double apiece, while Sam Chapman and Don White also slammed out important two-baggers.

PHILADELPHIA, July 31 - The fast-stepping Philadelphia Phillies ran their winning streak to five straight today by toppling the skidding Cincinnati Reds, 4-3 and 4-1. Johnny Blatnik, the Phils' rookie leftfielder, provided the winning margins in both en- counters. He swatted a home run in the eighth inning of the opener to score three runs and give reliefer Sam Nahem the de- cision over Howard Fox. Blatnik singled home Richie Ashburn with the deciding run in the nightcap.

WesterniNet Crown Again SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 31- (W) - Retrieving as enthusiasti- cally as a cocker spaniel, Tony Trabert of Cincinnati won his sec- ond straight Western Junior Ten- nis Championship today despite brilliant play by runner-up Dick Mouledous of New Orleans. The score was 8-6, 6-0, 8-6. The six--day tournament was held at the University of Notre Dame. Third-seeded Mouledous had two set points in the first set. Each time it was Trabert's service and the Ohioan charged to the net and put the ball out of the South- erner's reach. Every game of the second set was hotly contested but Trabert won them all. Top-seeded singles and doubles players were beaten in champion- ship matches of the boys' divi- sion. *:BostO .. ..55 New York ......A) Brooklyn .......48 *St. Louis......47 Pittsburgh.....46 Philadelphia ...48 Cincinnati ...... 41 Chicago .......39 (*-Plays tonight.)e L. 38 43 4J 44 45 49 55 57 r 'et. .59.1 .538 .528 .517 .505 .495 .4?27 .406 & Yesterday's le:'its Philadelphia 4-4.
