Geigel combined with Dark Secret to defeat Gossett and Danno O'Shocker, two falls to one. During the melee, police had to restrain Gossett from using a chair against his foes. The mat feature was also a wild-and-wooly affair which ended in a "no contest" decision when Don Eagle unleashed a two-fisted attack against Durango, Masked Marvel, outside the ring. (Photo by Emory Wilt). Tam O'Shanter Tourney Mat Feature Ends In 'No Contest' But Fans Cheer Eagles' Revenge CHICAGO UP) In one of the most fantastic finishes In golf history, Lew Worsham Sunday sank a 140-yard approach shot on the final green for an eagle 2 to beat Chandler Harper by one stroke for the "World" golf title and collect $25,000, richest payoff in the game.

Harper, the 39-year-old putting demon from Portsmouth, had satisfied a gallery of about 10,000 around the final hole that he was champion by planting a second shot two feet from the cup for a cinch birdie 3. This great closing effort gave Harper a 36-3470 and a 72-hole total of 279, nine under par. Playing right behind was Worsham, the 1947 U. S. open titlist from Oakmont, "The Chin," as he is known to his colleagues, had birdied the 375-yard 17th with a cool seven foot putt for 3 and needed another birdie on the last hole to tie Harper.

LEW LAYS INTO BALL Worsham slammed a tremendous drive on the 410-yard final hole. As the crowd swarmed a-round him, Worsham drew out a wedge, looked at the hole 140 yards away, and laid into the ball. While the throng stood in awe, the ball sailed to the front of the long green, covered about 30 feet on three bounces and curled into the hole. "It was the luckiest shot I ever had in my life," smiled Worsham, who was the first round leader with 65, then drifted to 72-73 the next two trips. "I'm sorry I had to do it to my friend Harper." Old-timers agreed that Wor-iham's payoff wedge shot must rank with the greatest of tournament finishes.

SHOT WORTH $15,000 That one shot was worth leg homerun swatter, on his 34th circuit blow of the year. McMillan spiked Roy McMillan, Cincinnati short-stop, was spiked on the left foot in the ninth inning by Gilliam as Junior slid into second base. His left eye also was closed and he was forced to leave the game.

Dale, 15, finished second and won a $4,000 scholarship, while Jon, 12, was third for a $3,000 college fund. Braves Trim Pirates Twice, 74 And 10-3 MILWAUKEE Andy Pafko poked a pair of home runs and Joe Adcock drove in four runs in the second game Sunday as Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh 10-3 after winning the opener 7-4 to sweep the 4-game series and trim a half-game off Brooklyn's National League lead. The Braves now trail by, seven games.

It was the climax to a vibrant finale that saw Freddie Haas of New Orleans take the lead after 63 holes by one stroke over A Besselink and Harper.

Then the new Ryder Cup team member collapsed by going over par on three of the last five holes. Haas closed with 33-38-71 for 282 to share fourth place with Cary Middlecoff with a final 69, and Jim Ferrier with 70. Worsham, after taking a big 6 on the second hole Sunday after being trapped, rounded the first nine in 37 for a 247 after 63 holes. He reached the 475-yard 64 th in two shots for a cinch birdie 4. He parred the next two then tapped in a four-foot putt for a birdie 3 on the 67th.

On the 515-yard 69th, he chipped four feet from the pin and holed out for a 4. On the 70th, a mean 215-yard heartbreaker, Worsham's tee shot was over green. He chipped back six feet short and missed the putt to take a 4. Worsham, who blew a lead on the final nine holes a year ago to lose a chance to win the World, shook, off the bad putt and came back on the 71st with a birdie 3. His approach stuck seven feet from the cup and he curled in the putt.

Then came the sensational 72nd and the winning wedge shot. BERG HEADS WOMEN PROS Patty Berg, closing with a steady 38-36-74, won the World title for women pros after finishing second in the meet for the last five years. She totaled 300, four under pr, to take the $5,000 first award. For the fourth straight year, Frank Stranahan 'bagged the World title for men amateurs with a closing 74 for 289.

TYRONE Free Seating ALTOON A AND TYRONE PA. Record Shop, Altoona FREE ox GROUNDS ate By ELLIOTT ASHARE The referee and officials might have announced that Saturday night's feature wrestling match ended in a "no contest" decision but that didn't stop 2,500 die-hard customers from enjoying every 13 ruiuutes and 54 seconds of it. For, you see, their hero, Don Eagle, unleased a fearsome two-fisted attack against Durango, the Masked Marvel, which sent the crowd to its feet. Eagle, a bit miffefl at Dur-ango's dirty tactics sticking tape into Don's eyes, cho'king holds and kicking gave out with a war cry after he succeeded in pulling off the tape. Everyone expected Eagle to "revenge" himself for his masked foe's affrontries but no one anticipated the ferorcity of the attack.

Don was completely unmindful of Referee Charles Deckerhoffer's toll count as he pounded the Masked Marvel into a helpless hulk outside the ring. Durango was a bit upset over the beating he took at Dpn's hands and the crowd's jeering noises. FATHER COMPLETES ROUT Quite naturally, he tried to take it out on some poor innocent victim, and he chose Don's father. Chief War Eagle. But the old man, a former wrestler himself, who now sells souvenirs on the side, wasn't going to be the "fall guy." When Durango went after the chief, he got the surprise of his life as the old man dropped him with a right cross.

The boxing theme was carried on throughout most of the night with very little serious wrestling being conducted. The matmen went at their foes with everything they had. GOSSETT PICKS UP CHAIR Eddie Gossett, for example, tried to use a chair against the Dark Secret and Bob Geigel in the Australian tag match. The police stopped him. Gessett simply wanted to "repay" them for their rough treatment of himself and his partner, Danno O'Shocker.

Secret, another masked grap-pler who was out to "save face," and Geigel were awarded the first fall at 11 minutes when they managed to -crawl into the ring before their popular opponents.
