SLMJAY, MAY SO, 14 Sox Berra ead Yanks Past Rec 9 Snead Seeking A Record Today 1 if Grand Slammer Ices 10-2 Win Boston (AP) A two-hit performance bv Harry Byrd and Johnny Sain and Yosi Bcrra's grand slarh home run helped New York's Yankees to a 10-1! victory 6 TJ5eCWs5l 5U year the USO benefited to the extent of $51,501.75. I'd like at this time to request Indianajiolis professionals whose clubs participate in the event to call me not later than 7 p.m. Saturday with their scores. I'll have Hogan's and we can figure out quickly who beat him and who didn't. HERE WE GO AGAIN Cliff Wagoner, secretary of the lnriianapiill District Golf Association, is looking for entries for the organization's annual 54-hole championship tournament.

It will he held in mid-June. Preferred starting times are available now, hut switch-hitting Mantle, swinging left-handed, slammed a 1-2 pitch by Boston loxcr Sid Hudson high on the screen in left center near the flag poie. It was his eighth homer the year and the sixth given up by Red Sox hurlers. The blow made the score 2-0 for the Yanks. MAMIE'S ROl'N rule double into the left field stands drove in one of threp runs for the world champions in the fifth.

Bauer and Coleman opened the frame with singles, Bauer scoring and Coleman taking third on Mantle's two bagger. Yogi Berra then sent a scorching grounder through the box into center field to bring them both home. The first New York run in the second also came with two out as Gil McDougald doubled off the left field wall just be-yond Williams' outstretched glove and scored on Carey's sing'e to left, one of three safeties for him. The loss was the fifth in eight, games with the Yanks for Boston and the 21st in 31 games this vear. mil.

Euclid, pictured in his stock utility, an entry in next week end's speedboat rac- By A ROCHE Will the Meridian Hills Coun try Club golf course record of 64, shared by several wielders of the woods and irons, be erased today? Samuel J. Snead.

professional at the Greenbrier Country Club, White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., will give you the answer this afternoon. Mr. Snead, who has been hanging around these parts for some 10 dfiys, give or take a rouple, making TV shorts and looking at rare cars, shot a T5, six under par, while taking his first look at the Hills last week. Wayne Timberman, host professional, called to describe the performance said: "He can't do that to my golf course." But Sam already had done it with six birdies and a string of pars. Timberman said Snead should hae had a 60.

"I never saw anything like It," Wayne enthused. "Sam niKsed half a doyen putts he should have made. When I asked him what he would do in the exhibition today he aald he would break the course record. I'm not going to hct against that." Now that Mr. Snead has been put on the spot and good I'll give you the plans for today, A change has been made.

Sam was to have played with Timberman. Club members wanted their own team to bid for honors in the 18-hole best ball match so Timberman was paired with John David the fellow who hits that long ball and Snead was left with Dale Morey of Martinsville, Indiana's Mr. Golf of 1953 and not a bad guy to have around if you need a partner. So that's the -way they'll work together before a crowd expected to number above the 3.000 mark. The tee markers will be placed in positions most suitable for the gallery.

In other words, they'll be up front, medium or back so that all may see. Snead will begin his day's chores by giving a clinic starting at 1:30 p.m. After that you can start running. You may not be fenced in, but you'll be roped in. NATION AL GOLF DAY Saturday is National Golf Day.

Ben Hogan, U.S. Open champion, will take on all comers at Baltusrol, Spiingfield, N.J. His score will be matched against those of players across the nationthey'll have the benefit of handicaps arid those who beat him will receive a medal. The entry fee is $1. Fifty per cent of the money taken in will go to the USO and the other 50 per cent will go to the National Golf Fund.

Last over Boston yesterday. Bena's blow, his seventh round tripper, capiied a five-run eighth inning that assured the Yankee win and gave him six RBIs for the day. Yogi teed off on a one-strike pitch as the first man to face le-liefer Bill Werle and sent it into the Red Sox bullpen in right center. Byrd, making his first appearance since May 14 hen lie hurt his side in Detroit, yielded the two hits in going six innings to gain credit for the victory before giving way to Sain. Ted Williams homered, his first hit in Fenway Park this year, in the sixth inning off Byrd.

Big Ted, with a two-strike count against him. slammed a fast hall 20 rows into the right field bleachers. There was never any doubt that it was gone and as Williams jogged around the bases he re-reived a slanriing ovation from the 21.992 fans. It was his third of the year. THE ONLY OTIIEK Sox hit was a run-producing single by fammy White in the fourth.

Sain checked the losers over the last three frames. Mickey Mantle shared the batting spotlight with Berra in the 17-hit New York attack on four Boston pitchers with a home run, double and single in four at bats. Mickey now has hit safely in his last 10 games and raised his batting average from .197 to .300 in the span. Sain's single scored Andy Carey who had doubled to start off the Yankees' big eighth. Then Hank Bauer beat out a bunt for a hit, Gerry Coleman sacrificed them along and Mantle was purposely passed by Hector Brown, third Sox moundsman before Wrerle came in to face Berra.
