Local pro Collins leads Westchester Open golf qualifiers
Big Bill Collins of Brae Burn, Purchase, NY, shot 139 to top Westchester County local qualifying for the U S Open. He doubts he will enter the San Francisco event at Olympic Club, citing consistency concerns. The 36 hole local rounds left 70 players to join 455 Monday qualifiers, with sectional rounds on June 6-7 to trim to 123. A final 151 will compete in San Francisco, with Ben Hogan exempt by special invitation.

Troubles Hit Paris Tennis
Rain and fading light disrupted opening play at the French International. Marty Riessen of Evanston was carried from the court after a slip on wet grass. X rays showed no fracture and he should return within a week. Seeded players faced slow play and darkness delaying many first-round and some second-round matches, with several not started. Margaret Smith and Nancy Richey were among the few women in action as aims for a full slate continued.
