SMITH Sports Editor 'Cousin Corsair' Puts Smiles Back PROUD WINNER is Byron (Lord) Nelson as he displays the 295 score with which he won the $10,000 War Bond golf tournament yesterday at Oakmont Country Club. Had the figure been 287 he would have been the first golfer to break Oakmont's par 2S8 for the distance.

Of Flag-Hungry Cubs By CHESTER SMITH. Sports Editor These are proving to be profitable days for Cholly Between shots at Oakmont this week the boys found time to toss a tale or two across the benches in the locker room. First prize in our ledger went to "Pip" Danforth, the Oakmonter and past president of the West Perm Golf Association. He was telling about the Pittsburgh foursome that went to Pine Valley, the far-famed Jersey course, during the height of the caddie shortage. Bag-toters were few and far between, but after scurrying around the country Grimm and his Cubs, who Oakland up to the hilt.

All went well until they reached the fifth hole, a fearsome one-shot layout on which a player whose ball lands in the cavern off to the right faces a task not unlike conquering the Matterhorn. Sure enough, one of the quartet missed the green and saw his ball disappear into the depths. It was too much for the lad who was carrying the unfortunate player's clubs. Wrathfully. he flung the ba? to the ground.

"Dgmmit! You did that on purpose." he stormed, and stalked off, never to be seen again. Corcoran Talking Freddie Corcoran, the man who pushes and pulls all the stops in pro golf, was full of talk of his experiences overseas. Corcoran didn't miss much of the war. He was forever flitting from one theater to another, herding his golfers and other celebrities of sports up to the front where the GI Joes could see and hear them. Once he got together a group and promised it a quick trip over and back.

"This flying is great stuff. Well be there in no time at all," Freddie assured one and all. "What I didn't know," he reminisced, "was that our orders had been changed. Instead of a plane we drew a transport, and an old, slow one at that. I won't repeat what my little band was telling me as we were walking up the gangplank." Sharkey a Star Corcoran credits Jack Sharkey and Lefty Gomez as being the top team of entertainers that he marshalled abroad.

It appears that Sharkey's account of his fight with Joe Louis almost stopped the war in Italy. Jack hit the canvas nine times in the bout and insisted on going through with each knockdown CHICAGO A P. A E. Hack. 3b 4 I 2 1 Hiithps.

Byron Nelson, the Toledo, umbrella man, and golf's big man, won the $10,000 war bond golf tournament yesterday but with a 295. which was seven strokes above Oakmont's exacting figures of 288 for the four rounds. Thousands of dollars were paid off, one way and another, on the winning score. No tournament in Tourney Exceeds Goal A quick check last night of sales in connection with the $10,000 War Bond golf tournament revealed approximately worth of War Bonds had been sold. This figure is subject to change.

Goal originally set was two million dollars' worth of bonds. Pittsburgh's history has aroused such wide interest or compelled more folks to wager small and large sums on the outcome. Snead Three.Behind Nelson had a three-stroke lead over Sammy Snead, whose total was 298. Harold (Jug) McSpaden and the veteran Gene Sarazen, both of whom had disappeared out of the running on the first day when their scores mounted sky-high, finished with 304 and 314, respectively. The score Nelson made was one shot behind the championship record held by Willie Macfarlane, a former National Open champion.

who made 294 in four rounds in 1934 in the Pennsylvania State Amateur championship. When they started out yesterday morning in the third round, Nelson and Snead were abreast with 144, having duplicated the par on their two rounds, on the first 36 holes of play. As they sat down to lunch, Snead was sporting a two-stroke lead, but this was soon dissipated in the final round in the afternoon. The West Virginian went sour, taking a 79, while Nelson was two over the theoretical perfection with a 74. The only par round was made by McSpaden in the afternoon, playing steady golf for a 72.

All four players said that the gallery was the largest they ever played before. The throng was so large yesterday afternoon, that it interefered with the players. The crowd was beyond control. There was no way of getting an exact attendance figure but it was conceded that the gallery exceeded 10,000. 1 Nelson.

The stocky South Hills star and 15 other qualifiers tee off in match play this morning at St.

Clair Country Club, and after his medalist card of 73 yesterday, Benson must be regarded as a definite favorite to repeat. He tackles Leonard Sasso of the host club in the first round starting at 10:30. The second round will be played this afternoon. Benson was three over the par figure of 70 yesterday in taking medal honors and one stroke better than his nearest rival, Knox Young Jr. of Shannopin, state amateur champ.

Playing in a three-some with Howard Harpstcr, another qualifier, they both went out in 39 thee over par. Benson equaled the theoretical figures on the back nine with a 34, while Young was one over. Lt. Ken Stear of Punxsutawney tied Young for runner-up honors with two 37's.

Corcoran's job in the act was to manipulate the microphone so that Sharkey could keep on talking while he was on the floor. "By the end of the tour I was in shape to go 15 rounds myself," Freddie declared.

Now Corcoran is readying himself to offer more shows for the men who will still be overseas next winter. He hasn't yet been told what golf will be asked to do. but since plans are already started to send two squads of major leaguers around the world, he thinks it will be plenty. "I have always had a hankering to play over some Japanese courses," he muses. Tournament Talk While he was here.

Corcoran made it a point to tell Pittsburgh-ers "there should be at least one major golf tournament here every year. You have the courses and the interest." Freddie would like to add city to his constantly-growing circuit which operates in the north during the summer and fall and in the south, southwest and west in winter. This is primarily his job for the PGA and he has done well at it. From this corner it would seem that the city would be one of the richest stops around the country. That some of golf's national events will be heading this way soon is the word that is out.

By next year the United States Golf Association will have restored all its championships the Amateur, Open, Women's and Public Course and while commitments that were made before the events were shelved for the duration in 1942 must be kept, there are reported to be at least three clubs in the district now bidding for 1947 and beyond. Meanwhile, Corcoran's idea for a locally-promoted fixture should be an item for immediate consideration. Parker-Greenberg Top Tennis Play FOREST HILLS, N. Aug. 30 (UP) Sgt.

Seymour Greenberg of Chicago, former national clay courts champion. Parker counted on a solid back court game to beat Greenberg in their quarter-final match.

Harbert Badly Hurt In Paris Accident LONDON, Aug. 30 (UP) Melvin (Chick) Harbert, American professional golfer from Battle Creek, has been seriously injured in Paris truck accident and may not be able to compete for six months, was learned today.

Harbert went to the continent to play a series of matches with Hor-ton Smith and was injured soon after his arrival, suffering several broken bones, according to Fred Parry, in charge of the American Forces Golfing Society. By Ciet Smith And Jack Berber way are you bound?" both decisions. On April 21, he bested he took down a 1-0 decision. With noble help from the Cin- cinnati Reds, who have defeated the Cards twice, the Cubs have built up their lead over the Saint Louians to four and a half games since they came to town. Four days ago, they were hanging on the ropes; today they're back in a commanding position.

Bruin Fitching 'Hot It took two pitchers to shut out the Picaroons, 2-0. yesterday, but the score is ample evidence that each was as hot as the afternoon. The sultry day gave Lefty Ray Prim stomach miseries as the game went along and in the eighth, with two out, he took his aches and pains off the premises after Bob Elliott had singled for what was to be the last of the Pirates' nine hits. Hy Vandenberg took over at that point, which is no understatement, for he not only retired the side immediately when he caused Frank Colman, an emergency stand-in for Babe Dahlgren, to pop out, but waded manfully through ninth at the expense of a battery of three pinch-hitters Jack Saltzgaver, Jim Russell and Bill Salkeld. Cubs Score Early, Late Nick Strincevich spaced the two Cub runs as widely as possible, one came in the first, the other in the ninth.

Between times, the Silent Serb was just as good as either of his rivals, but the run-making department failed him utterly. A single by Roy Hughes and Heinz Becker's two-bagger that caromed off Lee Handley's glove were responsible for Point No. 1. It wasn't until Frank Gustine bobbled Andy Rafko's grounder to the ninth that' the Bruins could again dent Stnncevichs armor. Pafko was forced by "Peanuts' Low rey, but the latter promptly stole second and was singled in by Len Merullo.

O'Brien Makes Great Catch Tom O'Brien saved Strincevich's hide in the fourth when he tore to the fence in left center and pulled in Lowrey's horrendous drive with his gloved hand. It closed down the inning and gave Bill Nicholson, who was on third, no place to go but out to his post in right field. The Bucs' one great opportunity came in the sixth when Gustine and Elliott hit safely in succession and were sacrificed along by Dahlgren. The Cubs played "percentage" to the limit, purposely walking Pete Coscarart, and dividends showered down on their heads when Al Lopez whacked into a double play.

Instead of just Dizzy Trout and Hal N-swhouser, they have Al Benton, one of the league's top percentage Tommv Bridges pitchers.

How ever, Benton isn't winning now and that hurts. Benton won five straight, lost one and then broke his leg. Six weeks later he ran his record to 11 wins and two losses. Since his last victory on Aug. 6 he has lost three while starting five games and finishing none.

These veterans are bulwarked by a second-team backfield including Michigan's Tom Harmon and Pittsburgh's Ernie Bonelli, fullback, who will carry Bierman's offense.
