Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY NORTHVILLE, Mich. (UP)—It’s the turtle and the hare for the PGA golf championship at Meadowbrook Country Club today. Dr. Cary Middlecoff, the slowest player on this or any other course, goes against Doug Ford, the swiftest shooter since Pittsburgh Phil. It’s a fairway fable right out of Aesop between two oddly contrasted personalities. Late Bulletin NORTHVILLE, Mich. — Cary Middlecoff, shooting a four under par 67, gained a 1 up lead over Doug Ford today at the halfway mark of their 36-hole match for the PGA championship. Ford is a burly, fullback type out of New York City who moves with the speed of a halfback. His forte is to head for the ball at a dead lope, scan it as he applies the brakes and then blast it and be off before the gallery has time to settle down. As Shelley Mayfield, his 4 and 3 victim in Monday’s semi-finals, put it: “Playing against Ford is like playing a onesome. He’s always so far in front of you that you get downright lonesome.” Bit Of Planned Strategy Cary attributes his slowness to the fact that he is “awfully, awfully tired.” Afflicted with an allergy, he finds it particularly difficult to breathe properly in hot weather. His answer is a “slow-down” in his play, but there are those among his opponents who contend it is a bit of planned strategy to upset rivals who prefer to play swiftly. To illustrate, Ford required five hours and 10 minutes for his 33 hole win Monday. Middlecoff needed seven hours and five minutes for the same distance. Money Little, Prestige Great Middlecoff Takes Aim At Prized PGA By LEO H. PETERSON United Press Sports Writer NORTHVILLE, Mich. UP—Cary Middlecoff today on the only major U.S. golf title he never and, Doug Ford, his opponent in the 36-hole PGA ship match, was shooting for the title in his first They gained the final round Monday by identical scores of 4 and 3. Middlecoff turned back Tommy Bolt of Chattanooga, Tenn., and Ford brushed aside blond Shelley Mayfield of Westbury, N.Y. So today these two par-shattering golfers, who both play out of Klamesha Lake, N.Y., met in the match which means more to the pros than any other championship, although the first place money slips only $5,000. But the cash value of it goes far beyond that in endorsements, sporting goods manufacturers’ affiliations and exhibitions, more than triple that golfing jackpot. Both of them found the key to their victories on the par five 507-yard 17th hole of the Meadowbrook Country Club course. Both of them eagled the hole to go 1 up. From that point in, it was easy. Middlecoff, dead-tired from the gruelling 1 up 40-hole triumph he had scored over Jack Burke in the quarter-finals on Sunday, knocked his No. 3 iron second 20 feet from the cup and sank the putt. Ford, shooting the best golf of any player in the tournament, put his No. 4 wood second 10 feet from the flag and also sank the eagle putt. Middlecoff as Favored Middlecoff was favored, although he trailed Ford in the par-shattering which has featured his 37th annual PGA tourney. Ford was 33 under par for 161 holes going into Del Mar Racetrack To Open 16th M DEL MAR — racetrack’s 164th meeting begins with a crowd of m 10,000 expected to a opening of the seaside track.

Afflicted with an allergy, he finds it particularly difficult to breathe properly in hot weather. His answer is a "slow-down" in his play, but there are those among his opponents who contend it is a bit of planned strategy to upset rivals who prefer to play swiftly. To illustrate, Ford required five hours and 10 minutes for his 33 hole win Monday. Middlecoff needed seven hours and five minutes for the same distance. Certainly it has paid off, because the molar-mender turned divot-digger has made his pretty wife, Edie, very happy this year by capturing such as the Masters and the Western Open to become the game's leading money winner with a fat $22,643. He's sure of $3,000 for a second place finish here—and $5,000 if he wins. Ford, whose name originally was Fortunato, is the son of a golf pro and he learned his shots on New York's Van Cortland Park, a public course. He and his wife and three children travel the entire tournament circuit in one of those super trailers and they can use either the three grand or the five, because Doug is only 15th among the money winners this year with $8,893. He credits much of his success in the PGA to a new putter he fashioned himself. The shaft is an old hickory stick he found in a bin at Vancouver. Doug was "off" last winter but he's playing the game now as if he invented it, being 33 under par for 161 holes. The good doctor was 24 under for 171 holes after his 4 and 3 win over Tommy Bolt Monday. Middlecoff is the longer hitter of the two. As example, each of them has fired eagle threes on the 507-yard 17th hole. But where Ford needed a three wood to gem, Doc did it with a three iron. Middlecoff was favored, although he trailed Ford in the par-shattering which has featured his 37th annual PGA tourney. Ford was 33 under par for 161 holes going into today's final, while Middlecoff was 24 under for 171 holes. Although the heat has bothered his hay fever and he feels "all worn out," Middlecoff promised to give it "a first class try today." Noted for his slow, deliberate playing, whereas Ford is one of the fastest players, Middlecoff hoped that his cautious playing would not upset Ford. "Ford is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, players I know and I hope my game doesn't hold him up," the golfing dentist said. "I don't try to be slow intentionally, just cautious. "I can't make any predictions, because a golf ball takes a lot of funny bounces just like a football, and you never can tell. If Doug has a good day, he'll win and if I have a good day, I'll take it." This isn't the first time these two pros have clashed head-on. They tied with Dave Douglas for the Kansas City Open championship in 1951 and Middlecoff won it in a playoff. "I was lucky to beat him that time," Cary said. Ford, who will be 33 in two weeks, has been a pro six years, but because he filed his entry application to the wrong address last year was not eligible to compete in the PGA. A golfer must be a professional five years to become eligible. ROD AND GUN Sharks, Seals Giving Albacore Rough T By WALLY TAFT As albacore head for 14-mile bank, the sharks and seals have been giving the local anglers a fit when it comes to landing these prize catches.

BY WALLY TAFT As albacore head for 14-mile bank, the sharks and seals have been giving the local anglers a fit when it comes to landing these prize catches. Many of the skippers have been using guns to drive off the seals but the sharks have been so plentiful that there isn't much they can do but gaff the blue sharks when they come alongside the boats. The fisherman say they have never seen the sharks so tame as they are this year. The albacore that were landed Monday were of the large variety going up to 30 pounds and were being caught around the kelp in very deep water. A lot of the anglers that hooked up with the longfins were having trouble landing the fish as they were snapping the lines and getting all tangled up in the kelp. Bluefin tuna, which have been observed working Catalina waters for several weeks, broke loose over the weekend with several good catches boated. Veteran observers state the catches may be the forerunner of an all out fishing spree on the trim gamesters in the next few days. The fish taken were tipping the scales up to 20 pounds. Top boat over the weekend docked 17 Sunday. Virtually all sport fishing boats in these waters managed to deck a few tuna Sunday, with skippers and anglers alike reporting large schools starting to show — though the fish were described as "spooky". The summary of all surf reports over the weekend seemed to hedge between the fair side and the slow side of the fair. The northern areas of the Southland surf beaches were still giving up fair catches of Juvenile Leagues Softball Results "C" COAST Tom's Mkt. 10. Anaheim Asst. Lge. Langson's 6.
