Harbert set a course record of 64 in the third round Sunday morning, but ruined his chances when he took a 75 on the final tour.

His failure to come up with another phenomenal round added a touch of drama to the Locke-Demaret duel since it made the tourney a two-man proposition. For his victory Locke received $2,000, making his total earnings since he came to the United States in April By JOHN DIETRICH COLUMBUS, O. American golfers, accustomed to taking other nations championships, found themselves as runners-up today to blazing Bobby Locke of South Africa, who has demonstrated his mastery over U.S. aces in seven of the 12 tournaments in which he has plajed. Locke became the leading money winner on the pro circuit yesterday when he won the $10,000 Columbus invitational tournament with a 72-hole total of 274, 14 under par.

As No. 1 pro he supplanted Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa.

Locke put his approach shot over a trap and landed 25 feet from the cup; then sank the long putt, a shot that he curled around a slight hump in the green for an eagle three. DEMARET KEEPS PACE Demaret battled Locke on even terms the rest of the ay but could not gain a stroke. George Pavton of Hampton, Va who was tied with Locke and Demaret at the start of the final round, blew up with a 77 and Bl aekwell To Pass Up Turn CINCINNATI Ewell Blackwell, Cincinnati Reds pitching ace who has won 16 straight games, will pass up his regular pitching turn against the New York Giants Tuesday night because of a sore shin.

Blackwell's string of victories is the longest in the National League since Carl Hubbell of the Giants Won 16 in 1936.

Intercounty SENIOR DIVISION With a pot or $400 and the Canadian Division Championship of the Lima junior heavyweight wrestling belt on the line, Billy Rayburn of Pittsburgh and Alex Kasaboski of Toronto step into the ring at the Windsor Arena tonight to hae it out. PAYOFF TONIGHT Billy and Alex finished Bill Thorntons six-weeks tournament with nine points apiece two weeks ago. Tonight will be the pay-off a battle that has all the earmarks of a thriller. Mayor Arthur Reaume wall be present to hand over the belt to the victor. In a second feature that threatens to steal a good portion of the limelight.

Gorgeous George, the wondrous Greek from Hollywood, will perform with his diminutive valet, vari-colored raiment and probably amid much hokus pokus. George, when he gets around to it, will trade grips with Rufus Jones. Pavvo Ketonen, the flying Finn, faces Gil Lacrosse in the opener. -m iPffi mMii Join Three Other CIuh In Qnittinir B.A.A. TORONTO That rosy dream it looked good to some fellows a year ago of building professional basketball into a booming sport in Toronto seems destined to stay in the dream stage.

FUTILE EFFORT It became official last night that the backers of the Toronto Huskies in the Basketball Association of America have decided not to toss any more money after the $100,000 they kicked away last year in a futile effort to sell the sport to unresponsive Toronto fans. There had been talk that the angels might be willing to string along again this year for a $40,000 to S50.000 loss. But Maurice Podo-loff. B.A.A. president, announced after a meeting of the league board of governors Saturday that the Huskies along with the Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Detroit clubs have decided to sit out this season.

The Huskies had a dismal season league play just as much as at the box office. They started under the impetus of a high-pressure drive to put the game across. Popular Lew Hayman, who turned football into a money-making sport at Montreal was named general manager. As coach, the club hired Ed Sadowski, one of the top players In the United States. The club got away to a poor start and Sadowski quit in mid-season despite a fat $10,000 contract.

HIRE ROLFE The Huskies engaged Red Rolfe, former baseball star with the New York Yankees, to take over as coach. No man ever started a tough job with a more responsive press everybody liked him and said so. But all the good wishes in the world couldnt provide a winning combination or convince Toronto sportsmen they should dig down regularly for ticket money. The best gates turned up when Toronto amateur teams were lined up as added attractions in preliminary contests. But even that and other stunts failed to win the box office support that was needed to put the game across.

Attendance ran to less than 1,000 for many games. Gold Clip Stolen Out of Tavern; Valued at $5,000 FREENPORT, N.Y. The famed International Gold Cup challenge trophy, emblematic of world speed boat racing supremacy, was stolen today from the Brooklyn Tavern by burglars who smashed a window to gain entrance. The trophy was won last year at Detroit by orchestra leader Guy Lombardo. It was on display in the tavern which is operated by A1 B.

White, one of the officials of the Gold Cup race for this year, to be held on Sunday, August 10, in Jamaica Bay. White, who is also publicity chairman of the Freeport, N.Y., Chamber of Commerce, said he had closed the tavern for the night and had just gone upstairs to retire when he heard glass crashing. He said he ran downstairs and found the cup missing. A window screen was torn open and the window was broken. The burglars took the gold portion of the cup which is valued at $5,000.

The ebony black pedestal on which it stood, which lists previous winners of the cup, was not taken.

Several track stars from Detroit Tech and Wayne University have announced that they will be here, as well as Roy DeShields. Louis Taj lor, and Freddie Thomas. Ken Rock. last ear's champion, will not be able to appear.
