(UP.1 John Nelson, a former railroad auditor, today ruled golf with the sweeping success by which Bobby Jones dominated the game In 1930, the year he completed his Immortal grand slam. Not since "Emperor" Jones and his famed putter, "Calamity Jane" aptured the and American Open and Amateur championships more than two decades ago has any golfer taken such a stranglehold on the game as Nelson, the tall, powerful Texan with the ice nerves and mechanical swing.

Now a Toledo, umbrella salesman, Nelson has won major tournament In America the exception of the Los Angeles Open and he has captured most of them going away.

U. S. Pat. Off.) By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent New York (U.E) Veterans Lon Warnekc and Claude Passeab of tho Cubs are working on the longest strings of flawless fielding efforts by pitchers In major league history; yet neither cares hoot about them. Warneke, 63, has stretched his major league record for the most consecutive chances accepted by a pitcher, without error, to 222 Meanwhile, runner up Passeau 34, has accepted 216 chances in row without a bobble.

Becausi Passeau is pitching more regu larly, he Is expected to take over the record coon. The (lawless twins were ques tloned about their streaks in thi Polo Grounds locker room after yesterday's doubleheader with the Giants. Warneke, a tall, weathered blond, had pitched one Inning the opener without accepting chance. He said, "what's that re cord you are asking about? Oh that fielding thing. Somebody mentioned to me once I had some sort of a fielding mark; but I don know anything about it.

I'i more interested in trying to wl some ball games." Lon, who was In service lai season, has pitched only two In ings in the current campaign. 1 addition to yesterday's lone tram he worked an Inning on June against the Cardinals, and accer. ed one chance successfully. Passeau appeared puzzled when asked about his chances of beating out Warneke for the record. The tall, dark haired, sharp featured Mlsslssipplan declared.

"If approaching some sort of a fielding record, it's the first I've of It. And 1 don't care about It anyway. I'm Interested in win nlng ball games; and I might say been mighty lucky this sea "Lucky?" Inquired the reporter, remembering the No. 13 on the back of Passeau'a blouse. "How's that?" "Well, this 1b the first season I've been bothered by a sore arm: yet I've won eight and lost only two.

And you can thank a strong infield aod a good outfield for most of the eight I got credit for. I've been mighty lucky, and I hope It keeps up." The reporter asked what was wrong with Claude'B ami. Passeau explained that ho had a chipped bone In his right (pitching) elbow the delayed result of getllng a fractured elbow In a (ootball gamo 19 years ago. "Sometimes It sure hurts when I'm pitching In the early Innings of a game," he continued. "I hope I can last cut the season before 1 have an operation (o remove the chip." The news man remarked that Claude seemed to ho In better condition this year than.

last, in BPlte of his elbow. Claude opined maybe, it was because he got in a little spring training this year, whereas in '44 ho couldn't report until 10 days after the campaign upeneu oecause ho couldn gel help on his "tung nut farm." It seems that Passeau has a 640 acre farm near Lucedale. where he raises tung nuts. The oil from these nuls Is needed by the government In wartime because It Is used in making paints, lacquers, plastics, electrical sun plies, etc. Anyway, Passeau and Warneke are working on flawloss fielding strings, which seem about as Important to tho two moundsmcn corset cords.

G. A. tourn anient manager who has seen them all (or years, said. "Nelson'; mark Is the most amazing alnci Jones and his scores are the mos remarkable In the history of thi game." To watch Nelson play golf Is like watching a nerveless, mediant cal master, making phenomenal shot after shot. He neve bad shot, the crowd, or an oppon ent's score fluster him.

He fired a four under par 68 and then coasted in with a 70 on the last 36 holes of the Victory National yesterday as McSpaden's game collapsed In the face of Nelson's ruthless par busting. McSpaden, who shot a 6S in the morning ronud, cracked on the third holB of the final 18 when he hit his second shot into a creek to eventually take a three over par 7. McSpaden's hopes for his second straight title faded with that hole and Nelson completely blacked them out when he teed off shortly after for his final round and made an eagle three on th first hole, sinking a 75 yard pitch shot. That's tile way he plays golf McSpaden went to take twe lioglea on the outgoing nine and tc finish with a two over par 76 Claude Harmon, Detroit, finished third with 139 70 74283, followed by Sgt, E.

Caster missed his man but lit the fuse for a bout which saw half the Brownie team invade the Chisox bench for a round of fist swinging. Result: $550 in fines and an old fashioned lecture from Will Harridge, American League president. A few nights later the usually placid Dixie Walker surprised even Brooklyn fans, who are used to anything, when he threw his bat into the dirt and tackled Ewald Pyle, Braves hurler, with tntentions of violence. In backing up a play at third, Pyle had tripped Goody Rosen, Dixie's teammate, who was streaking for the plate.

Walker figured it was done purposely, gave Pyle a good pummeling before they were torn opart. "It was worth it," exclaimed Dixie as he ponied up a $75 fine.
