Reed used an effective straight left in the second heat which brought the claret from Brown's mouth, but the visitor fought back gamely and weathered the round, returning punishment.

Brown came back with a two-fisted attack in the third which had Reed against the ropes, taking punishment. It was torrid action, with the edge with the Michigan Negro. BROWN TOOK the hardest punches offered by Willard in the fourth and was bleeding again from the nose and mouth, while Reed was cut over the left eye In the bloody battle. The round was won by Reed. In the fifth a terrific left, flush to the button, sent Brown down for the count.

By ROLAND POWELL Newton, May 29 (UP) Byron Nelson proved conclusively to doubting Dick Burton today that Americans know their way around the fairways by taking a slx-up lead at the Charles River Country Club after the first 18 holes of their 36-hole international challenge golf match.

Tomorrow they complete the nnal 18 holes at the Winged Foot Country Club In Mamaroneck, N.Y., at the outset of the $10,000 Goodall invitation tourney. Burton, who has been skeptical about the ability of American golfers, shook his head in amaze ment as he watched the Toledo (O.) umbrella man split the fair ways with his drives and burn up the greens with his putting. Nelson shot a 35-3671, one under par. Burton had 38-4179. HANDICAPPED somewhat by soggy turf, Nelson managed to shoot four birdies, 11 pars and three bogies, while his opponent pawed 13 holes but was unable to collect a birdie.

A sentimental favorite with the crowd of 3,500, Burton flashed his best form on recovery shots with his irons. When he holed out on the 18th, Burton shook hands with the P.G.A. champion and apologized for his showing. "I'm sorry I didn't play so well today," he said, "but I'll try to make the competition a bit stiffer tomorrow." A break gave Nelson his initial advantage on the second hole and he never dropped behind. His sec ond shot was headed for the rough, but struck a woman spec tator and dropped on the mat of the green, enabling him to birdie the hole.

NELSON' WON the third when the former RAF flier missed a 12-inch putt and took the fifth when Burton's drive went into the rough. A 15-foot putt gave Nelson the sixth. After halving the seventh Burton came through with a par on the next two holes to finish the first nine three-down. Burton's lack of practice showed up glaringly on the greens.
