Snead Gamble Falls Short at National Open
Sam Snead failed to win the National Open despite a bold gamble with a 25 foot putt on the 17th hole after starting the day you could have tied Cary Middlecoff. The gamble backfired as the ball stayed out, Snead and the crowd left with a memorable near miss. Meanwhile baseball notes detail how the Yankees slipped three games behind in the American League while the Cardinals and Dodgers lead NL races, with Detroit and Cleveland chasing in the east. Local notes cover the Corry Bombers and Akron Borden Autos, field conditions at Cleveland, and early season golf and club activity in Meadville.
