PAUL, Minn., Aug. 1—(yp;— An iron game that approached per fection rocketed Fred Hass, Jr., New Orleans, unattached profes sional, to a six-under-par 66 and a 36-hole total of 135 in the St. Paul Open Golf tournament today. Haas' 66 put him in the lead of a brigade of professionals and amateurs that made something of a mockery of par 72 for the 6, 432 yard Keller Municipal course. Lack of rain recently has dried out the fairways and greens, re sulting in plenty of roll on the balls. Pushing Haas for the lead were Lew Worsham, Pittsburgh, Pa., and Jim Ferrier of Chicago. The two professionals, who carded 69s in the first round, came in with 67s today for 36 hole totals of 136. Just one stroke behind them was Glenn Teal, Jacksonville. Fla,, pro who had a 69 today to go with his 68 of yesterday for 137. Another five-under-par 67 was turned in by John Barnum, Chicago amateur. Barnum had a 71 yes terday, giving him 138. leJdtifUr!0\0f Pontiac- Mich., who * V u J°Und of Play with a 67, slipped to par figures of 72 today for 139. Haas got off to a poor staxt in on the ,-Td’ going one over pa on the first and third holes when has wood shots landed In bunkers 'He counted birdies on the fourth’ fifth, seventh and eighth holes to make the turn two under regula tion figures with a 34. On the incoming nine, the form er National Intercollegiate cham pion and winner in 1943 of the Memphis Open, dropped in oirdies on the 12th. 13th, 17th, and 18th holes to give him a 32, four under par, and his 66. The tall rangy insurance broker’s iron game put him on most of the greens in position to hole out with one putt. Haas, the son of Avell known professional in the New Orleans area, is among the top 15 money winners in the professional golfers’ summer tour. As a result of the day’s scoring, in which 17 players matched par of 72 and 24 others bettered it, a score -of 150 or lower was needed to qualify for the final two rounds of 18 holes each on Saturday and Sunday. Fifteen amateurs and 45 profes sionals qualified for the final rounds. SURF MATTRESSES All Sizes - Shapes * Colore *09 Market St. Dial 2-3224 STANDINGS TOBACCO STATE LEAGUE Team Won Lost Pet.

Benton Homers Twice In 8-1, 14-3 KUU^ Lamb, Townsend Chalk Victories In Fm Pirates Meet Sanford Spinners In Stadium Tonight CLINTON, Aug. 1—Wilmington’s rejuvenated p took a sweep of a three-game,.series and their fifth v;. ■ in a row here tonight, smashing the Clinton Blues in?'5 ends of a doubleheader, 8-1 and 14-3. Roy Lamb and p! Townsend chalked up wins for the Pirates. Townse d the Blues to two hits in the nightcap. "1 a ^ The Pirates will carry the battle to Sanford’s pace-setters in Legion stadium at Wilmington tomorrow night, with Lefty Louis Cheshire slated to pitch. With Billy Benton smashing out two home runs and Bob Steckel and Hargrove Davis hit one apiece in the two encounters, Corsair Pow er, long dormant the rest of the season, suddenly made itself felt with a vengance. Benton smacked his second hom er in the fifth inning of the second game with the sacks loaded down. Homers by Benton a--d Steckel helped to sew up the first game in a four-run fourth inning. Ben ton first up, drove one over the right field wall. Davis singled to left center, and he took second on a passed ball. Harry Bridges dou bled Davis home, and then Steckel hit his second homer of the season over the 385-foot left field fence. Benton’s four-master was his sixth of the year. Johnny Muscovitch roamed the center field pastures in the first game. He doubled once in four times at bat, and scored after his two-bagger in the seventh on Bill Alsnauer’s fly after moving to third on an infield out. Davis’ clout, with Benton com ing ahead of him, came in the sixth. Benton had previously dou bled home Roy Lamb, who had reached first on an error. During the initial contest, which went the full nine innings, Lamb fanned five and walked an equal number for his 11th wi of the year. Ed Kukulka, Clinton third base man, was toughest cn Lamb. His two of the Blues’ seven hits were a double and a triple. The Bucs nicked loser Billy Ed wards for 10 hits, seven of which were for extra bases. Davis, with a double, a single and a homer, and Benton with a homer and a double, were the only Pirates get ting more than one hit. Chinton’s only tally came in the last of the fourth when firstba'se man O’Shields singled home Marsh, who had reached first on Musumeci’s error and taken sec ond on an infield out. Bouncing Severn Wright out of the game in the second inning of the nightcap, the Bucs lashed out with 12 hits to cop their fifth straight. They scored three runs in the first on a walk to Musumeci, a single by Benton, Davis’ double that scored the pair, and a single by Bridges to tally Davis. The other big Pirate frame was the fifth, when Benton socked his second circuit clout with Town send, Musumeci, ana em. disky abase. ‘s au (First Gamri WILMINGTON VB Musumeci, ss _ 4 * " 0 ( Hardisky, 2b_ n ! 5 1 Benton, 1£ _' . “ ’ 2 I Davis, rf _ 4 , 1 6 i Bridges, lb _II 4 j • • I Muscovitch, c£ _ 4 , ! 1 Steckel 3b _I = , * 2 t Alsnauer, c_ ’ 4 i ‘ 3 1 Lamb, p..II 4 “ J > i TOTALS _ CLINTON ABRai15 McLain, r£... 5 , H°i Evans, ss - 4 5 1 Marsh, cf _ . 11 I Kukulka, 3b ..II I „ , J * O’Shields, lb .._ 4 0 i !
