Iff '61 r-'t on 7 1 Nelson, Demaret Also Close 3 Putts on Last Hole Cost Ben Tie for Top AUGUSTA, Ga. U.R Ben Hogan shot a 71 in the third round of the Masters golf tournament, cutting Leader Jim Ferrier's margin to two strokes. Ferrier had a 54-hole total of 210 four strokes better than the third-round leader a year ago. Hogan's 212 was pursued by two previous double Masters winners Byron Nelson and Jimmy Demaret, at 214. BUT FOR THE crowd that reached up toward 6,000 on thei Evergeen Agusta National course, the question was not whether Ferrier would ride through to win, but whether Hogan could beat him.

Since he got back into action in February after a year's convalescence from grave highway accident injuries, golf fans have been pulling for little Ben to disprove the theory that iro tournament golfer can come back after such a lapse. Ben almost succeeded in the Los Angeles Open but he. lost a playoff to Sam Snead, who incidentally, is still- a factor in the Masters. Snead stands at 215 with a 70 Saturday. FERRIER'S USUALLY steady long game gave him trouble, and his delicate chip shots and fine putting couldn't quite make up for this weakness.

Hogan, who had to soak his legs in hot water Friday night to improve circulation and stop the swelling that has troubled him since his near-fatal automobile accident last year, had difficulty on the final green. OX THE LAST hole he left himself a 25-foot downhill putt for a birdie. His aim was a couple of inches off and the ball rolled five feet past. Then he almost rimmed the cup on his next try and went over par for the fifth time during his round. One Masters' record was broken when Herman Barron, of White Plains, N.

took an 11 on the 190-yard 16th hole. It's almost all carry over water and Barron went into the pond three times. Worst previous one-hole score recorded in the Masters was Frank Walsh's 10 on the second. DETROIT'S THREE entrants were far back in the field. Chick Harbert, of Meadowbrook, had the best third round of the Motor City stars, a 73.

It gave him a 54-hole total of 224. Horton Smith, of the Detroit Golf Club, was deadlocked with Harbert after taking a 75 for his third tour of the Augusta course. Amateur Chuck Kocsis, of Red Run, soared to a 79 for an aggregate of 227.

GOODFELLOW, TOO? White Sox Rally for 4 on WildPeg Johnny Leaves 8 Stranded on Bases BY LYALL SMITH Free Press Sports Editor MOBILE, Ala. Mickey Haef-ner, the 37-year-old southpaw, went all the way as the Chicago White Sox opened a four-game exhibition series with a 6-4 victory over the Tigers.

With 4,166 cash customers on hand, the spidery little left-hander who won only eight games last summer, held the Detroiters to nine scattered hits. Oddly enough, the only inning in which the Tigers made two hits, they didn't score. THE FIRST of two errors by Third Baseman George Kell paved the way for the Chicagoans to pour over four unearned runs In the third inning off Ray Herbert. They were the only scores the 20-year-old Tiger rookie allowed as he hurled the first six innings on a warm, sunshiny afternoon. Kell left the game in the sixth inning after he had been hit on the right wrist by an inside pitch from Haefner.

His injury was not believed serious. THE WHITE SOX poled out 13 hits off Herbert, Art Houtteman and Diz Trout to snap a four-game Detroit victory streak and leave the Tigers' springtime record at 16 victories and 9 defeats. The Sox now have won 11 games in 22 starts. Inability to come through with a hit in the clutch hurt Detroit's chances. They left 11 runners on the bases, with Outfielder Johnny Groth making the third out four times with a total of eight mates atraining on the basep4aths.

THE TIGERS hit Haefner in every frame except the fourth, but they scored only in the first, third and eighth with the aid of the seven walks hp Issued. Pat Mullin's double scored Johnny Lipon, who had opened with a base on balls. Hoot Evers singled home Jerry Priddy, who returned to the line-up after missing- six games, in the third after Jerry had walked. AFTER WASTING singles and leaving runners stranded all over the place, they cracked through with two more runs in the 8th. A walk to Groth, a long double off the left-field wall by Dick Kryhoskl and a pair of infield outs accounted for the markers.

The Sox were feeble against Herbert until Herb Adams and Dave Philley singled with two out in the third inning. Cass Michaels then hit a hopper to Kell, and George threw it past first for a two-base error. That scored one run and put runners on advanced bases. Outfielder Gus Zernial slashed out a two-run double, one of the four hits he collected over the day. Hank Majeski singled him across "and the Sox had a lead they never relinquished.

They didn't score again off Herbert, but got to Houtteman for what proved to be their winning runs in the eighth. GORDON GOLDSBERRY singled with one out. Chico Carras-quel, the Venezuelan shortstop, hit a double past Groth to score Goldsberry and came across himself on a single by Catcher Phil Masi, who last year played for Boston and Pittsburgh in the National League. That was all but it was enough to win. The teams will play In New Orleans Sunday, with Virgil Trucks scheduled to oppose Randy Gumpert.

The Tigers will be off Monday, but play at Little Rock Tuesday and meet the Sox again in Memphis Wednesday and Thursday.

The loser will take $500-a-man place money. While Toronto needed, only a victory Saturday to claim the series, Detroit never had an easier time grabbing a decision. While Harry' Lumley was earning his first shutout of the series, goals were contributed by Marty Pavelich, George Gee, Doc Couture and Jack Stewart, The Wings sailed out with a nothing-to-lose attitude and played the Leafs to a standstill. The Leafs appeared overly cautious and never could halt the Wings' confident attack which brought two goals in the first period and one in each of the next two. THE PATTERN of action was the exact opposite of Thursday's game in Detroit.

After a slow start, Detroit had sharp timing and were especially dangerous 'on power plays. That's when Pave- lich and Couture scored. Ted Lindsay, a quiet operator so far in the series, showed a moment of sparkle to set up Favelich's play while Bill Baril-ko was sitting out the third of three quick Toronto penalties. Lindsay shot a direct passout from the corner, and Pavelich converted with a golf swing five feet out from Turk Broda. After having posted three shutouts for Toronto's three victories, Broda didn't have a bit of magic left.

Gee nicked him on a deflection shot 20 seconds before the first period ended. BRODA WAS A sitting duck on Couture's tally. Broda fell to stnn Joe Carveth's blast, and Couture was left with a eaDine- eoal to park the rebound. Stewart's marker much similar. For that finale, Broda had dropped to block a Pavelich shot, and Stewart laced a 10-footer into the open net.

The defensive play of Leo Reise, Stewart, Clare Martin and Rookie Marcel Pronovost outshone the forwards, while Lumlev was th best of them all. HE REALLY saved the game in the first minute with successive stops on Max Bentley and Joe Klukay, and Reise starred by diving across the goal mouth to rob Ray Timgren's rebound stab on the same play. Lumley was credited with 19 saves, Broda with 18, and at least 10 of Lumley's required brilliant efforts. Pronovost took over as a regular defenseman in place of Lee Fogolin. He teamed With Paa vciac, and no finer game could have been or the 19-year-old rookie making his big time.

Earlier the Free Press had predicted Wil son, Dudley ana ciyae Leforce would be wearing livery of other teams before the, 1950 season.

The acquisition of Layne gives the Lions four a terbacks, not counting a couple on their draft list. In addition to Layne, Frank Tri pucka, Le-Force and Fred Enke are experienced i gnal callers. John Panelli is the only fullback left on the club's roster. Lavne is no Wilson stranger to Detroit football fans. He gave the Lions fits last fall when he completed 25 of 40 passes, but lost with the last place Bulldogs, 28 to 27.

The new quarterback is six-feet-one and weighs 198 pounds. His home Is In Lubbock, Texas, where he operates a sporting goods store with Sam West, the ex-major league baseball player. Layne's transfer to Detroit will mean that either LeForce or Enke will depart before long. LeForce currently is rumored to go to the Cardinals for Vince Banonis. Banonis would serve In the dual role of center and coach if McMillin can talk Card Coach Curley Lambeau into the deal.

Enke has been mentioned as a possible candidate for a Pittsburgh Steeler job where his running and passing could be utilized in- the Steeler single wing attack. Black Hawks were the clubs figuring in the speculation.

Bill Tobin, Black Hawk owner, said that Conacher had been offered a new Chicago contract.

"He asked a few days to think it over, however," Tobin said. Tobin said that no overtures had been made to Goodfellow. Goodfellow admitted conferring recently with Tobin, but said that the subject of their talks was "farm clubs." "I have a very good situation in St. Louis, where I am coach and general manager," the ex-Wing said. "It would have to be a fine proposition to lure me away."
