II PI 0 I 1 UK1 Big-Time Bout New Yorker Rallies To Top Fiducia But Fails to Impress Newark, N. June 13 Mn Bob Pastor, th National Boxing Asso- ciaHon'i third ranking heavyweight, continued his successful tour of the runteilands, coming from behind to take a decision from Freddie Fiducia of Newark at the Meadowbrook Bowl last night. But at the same lime he showed little to strengthen his case for a go with Joe Louis. The former New York university football plajer was off to a poor start in the opening session as Fiducia scored at will with both rights and lefts, but he steadied down in the second and went on to take six rounds on Referee Joe Mangold's score card. Fiducia won two sessions and the two others were called even.

The bout moved at a fast pace throughout, but Pastor's continual body attack took its toll on Fiducia and he was a tired boy from the seventh on in. However, Pastor, who aspires to a return match with champion Joe Louis, showed little that would warrant a title bout or even a match with Tony Galento, who meets Louis in New York late this month. The show attracted a crowd of 6,400, the largest of the season, which paid a gross of $5,703. Fiducia, who two years ago was finished off in two rounds by Galento, found Pastor's Jaw an easy mark and time and again scored easily with solid but not hard punches to that mark, but Bob's borlng-in tactics were too much for Freddie. It was Pastor's second victory over Fiducia.

He won a disputed decision last at Nutley, but last night left little doubt as to his superiority over the none-too-strong wewarker. Pastor weighed 186 and Fiducia 187. Henry Taylor, 173, sharpshooting veteran Philadelphia negro, out-. pointed Tommy Tucker, 178, highly-touted New York youngster, in the semi-final eight-rounder. Taylor, punching short and sharp with a solid left hook, took five rounds on Referee Al Goldie's score card to three credited to Tucker.

In another eight-rounder Tcny Martin, 148, of New York, scored a five-round technical knockout over Roy Humbert, 145, Camden nesrro. Referee Paul Cavalier stopped the contest arter 1:50 of the session with Humbert out on his feet. Pittsburgh Petey Scalto, New York's slugging featherweight, easily defeated Emtl Joseph of. Pittsburgh last night in a ten-round bout that almost ended in a knockout triumph in the final stania. Joseph, weighing 133.

danced and back-pedaled most of the time before his clean-punching 126-pound opponent. In the tenth the Plttsburgher got careless, tossed a punch from a flat-footed stance and got cracked with a hook to the Jaw that rocked him to one knee. Joseph got up without a count and weathered the storm. Harrey Massey, 162, of New Orleans, won a decision from Johnny (Raniiitt Byron Nelson, 27-year-old ex-Texas railway clerk, putt ing at the first hole of the Spring Mill course of the Philadelphia Country Club yesterday, as he and Craig Wood of the Winged Foot Club of New York took part in their second 18-hole playoff for the United States open golf championship title. Wood is standing by.

Nelson beat him, scoring a 70 to Wood's 73. (Wide World photo.) 129 at St. Augustine's jH(mored With Award The Athletic Department of St. Augustine's distributed its annual awards today to students who have participated in major sports. In all, 129 students were awarded letters in the school auditorium before the entire student body.

The athletic director, Rev. Brother A. Paul, rhade the presentations, 1 Billy Beanhnld Jersey City lightweight wUl meet Tommy Spiegal in ten-round feature of New Queensboro Arena tonight. Beauhuld Faces Tough Rival Spiegal Bars Billy's Climb Up Ladder at Queensboro Tonight New Jersey's young Billy Beau huld had his lightweight content. poraries quaking in their gloves until Henry 'Armstrong knocked him out to end his long victory string but it looks as though Billy on the road back.

He resumes his campaign at the Queensboro Arena to night where he meets Tommy Spiegal of Pittsburgh in the ten. round main event. Boxing history is full of incidents where fighters who were knocked out fought their way back up the ladder and in some instances won world's titles. Jack Dempsey was belted out by Fireman Jim Flynn but later came on to win the crown from Jess Willard. Benny Leonard was belted out by Joe Shugrue and Rankle Fleming, but later took the title from Freddie Welch.

Ignacio Fernandez kayoed Al Singer, but Al knocked out Sammy Mandell in a titular affair, and remember what Max Schmellng did to Joe Louis in their first fight. The fates may not be as kind to Beauhuld but the Jersey socker certainly seems to be back on the road to success. In the last few months he has knocked out Enrico Venturi and Red Guggino, two notable victories. He'll be facing a very tough assignment in Spiegal for Tommy's two-fisted ruggedness has made him a prime favorite in the metropolitan area. Spiegal is shooting for a shot at Julie Kogan and a triumph tonight may gain him his goal.

In the two supporitng six-round ers, Jack Tolson, Rldgewood welter weight, takes on Vic Dellicurti of the Bronx, and Pete Koloff, West Side welterweight, meets Tommy Zano. Koloff knocked out Nick Pastore in his last start. In the four-rounders, Lou Miller of Brownsville meets Marty Fusolo, South Brooklyn, Augle Flelshehauer of the Bronx clashes with Nat Kadln of the Bronx, Solly Gerstler, East Side, opposes Benny Cartegena and Hugo Dubaldl takes on Jack Sicari. Runs of the Week National League Gives Berger Dexter Victory Cuggino Outpointed Before 8,200 Fans At Opening Show Br HAROLD CONRAD It took three years to make the Maxie Berger-Red Guggino match and from the way these two (ought in the eight-round feature at Dexter Park list night they must have spent those three years getting mad at each other. It wound up with Maxie spurting in the last two rounds to win, but if they have been ducking each other the 8,200 customers who turned out for the opening show should know why.

Berger's chances against Guggino, and vice versa, were measured by the fact that Red had beaten Wel-sey Ramey twice while Ramey held a decision over Maxie. On this comparative analysis you'd pick Guggino to win, but Berger was shooting for another crack at Ramey and he needed the triumph over Guggino to clinch it. Last night's victory sealed it and he will meet Ramey in Montreal. The fight looked fairly even going into the seventh round, but Berger's rally in the seventh and eighth proved the margin of victory. The decision wasn't unanimous, one of the officials voting for a draw.

Montey Pignatore barely outpointed Willie Nussbaum to win the six-round semi-final. In another six, Tommy Houston scored a technical knockout over a Williamsburg lad with the impressive name of John Sullivan, John L. gave a very good account of himself in the first few rounds but tired badly. In the four-rounders Charley Carro outpointed Lee Davis, Paul Duke knocked out Ed Cooper in the fourth and Stanley Berl scored a technical knockout over John Arm-son in the second. Matchmaker Tony Kelly announced that he has arranged for a triple wlndup on next week's Dexter Park card.

Bernie Frledkln meets Prankle Wallace, Cleveland veteran, in the top eight; Baby Yak opposes Prankle Jerome in the second eight, and Maurice Arnault, the French lightweight champion, opposes Harold Valan in the third eight. Johnny Mack of New Britain, scored a knockout over Mickey Farber in the feature eight' round bout which marked the open. ing boxing show at the Coney Island Velodrome last night. Aldo Spoldi halted Joe Boscarino in the fourth of another scheduled eight. In a six, Pal Silvers scored over Ell Dodge.

In fours, Norman Silvers halted Jack White in the first, Mickey Marinello stopped Gene Kieman In the first, Teddy Grodin stopped Al Brockrow in the fourth, Martin Gordon defeated Jimmy Gleason and Fred De Foe drew with Artie Di Pietro. dale O. Hartadale, N. Josejih Mc-Bride. North Jersey C.

uma i. v. uun Sag in Playoff Byron's Rise to Throne Fulfills Aim Of Three Years Ago By RALPH fROST One Texan steps in to take over where another left off. Byron Nelson, born In 1912 In Port Worth, succeeds Ralph Ouldahl, born in 1912 in Dallas, as National Open golf champion. One bold golfer follows another.

it's the Texas air or Texas competition that makes 'em tough. Whatever the reason, the outcome is unchanged they're too tough for ordinary mortals. Out of the almost eerie six days ot goL' over the hilly Spring Mills course of the Philadelphia C. C. we get a new champion who is, in the eyes of his fellow pros, a champion.

A thousand men can drive. A thw.and can putt. But few are really skilled iron players. Harry Vardon, J. H.

Taylor, Chick Evans, Walter Hagen, Jerry Travers one rolls off a few names and suddenly stops to think. There aren't many. Now the name of Nelson must be added. Under the terrific heat of the 43a National Open championship his metal proved pure. There have been holes-in-one In open championships.

An ace helped Jock Hutchison to a British open. There have been eagles. But I can't recall any player besides Nelson having holed iron seconds twice in a single championship. True, that pitch he holed on the third came in the championship proper anoj his brilliant 210-yard No. 1 iron on the fourth yesterday came in the playoff.

But he did hole out two superb iron shots and only those who saw him realize how many more there could have been. PIN NO BAR TO BALL Your reporter happened to be sitting alongside the third Saturday when his pitch coasted over a bunk er, bit solidly and then eased up to the hole. He was lucky again yesterday in that he happened to be right where he could see that No. 1 iron shot hit from 'way back on the plateau come whistling in on a right-to-left arch, strike on the green and then head for the hole on the 458-yard fourth. That ball was so positively headed for the hole that even though it hit the pin the ball couldn't be kept out.

It nibbled the front of the flagstaff like a mouse would cheese, then curved gently around the rim of the hole to slide In from the back against the flag There it remained until Wood came along, hooked his putt against the flagstaff and gently wiggled it so that his opponent's ball might tail in. On the previous hole Byron had hit a No. 8 shot that could have tone in. The ball crawled across the edge of the hole. He had another such shot on the seventh that actu ally tickled the flagstaff in passing He had had another half a dozen really close ones in the early rounds or the championship.

His feet square to the line of flight and hips slightly open, the ball played well forward (more so than usual among pros), his hands low and with the blade absolutely square with the intended line, Nelson looks like a great iron player every time he steps up to a shot And when he swings there's the tame sound look. You know the swing is right. And it is. He takes the club back easily and always inside the line. He takes only a three-quarter swing (he's longer In that than that other iron master Chick Evans).

As an amateur he over-swung. He gets the clubhead rather high. In that unrushed but always finished downswing he clips into the ball cleanly, rather In the Mac Smith fashion than In the model of those old-fashioned divot-digging iron play masters. HAS MAC SMITH STYLE Nelson has much of the Mac F.mlth stvle in another resrject. and It, is one which characterizes his lt-nn nlnv.

It's a leor flexibility. Smith spread his slightly just before impact, the spread changing the arc of the club without ever Interrupting the swing. Nelson's flexible knee action gives him a slight dip in toward the ball. The tendency here again is to flatten out the arc at the bottom without in any way interrupting the smooth flow of power. Those irons beat Wood.

The husky blond from Winged Foot simply couldn't match Nelson there. With Craig's driving and putting Nelson would have slashed through that first play-off round in 60 and not merely a one under par 68. Craig didn't have quite the driving or anywhere near the putting yesterday. Nelson thus could slip in a few wobbly woods and make two bad guesses as to wind and still win the title. Byron is self-taught, but he's always been a keen watcher of others.

His iron play is best, as he says, "Because I got irons long be-lore i had woods. In fact, as an amateur I used a brassie off the tee. "Down where I come from, where there always a wind and the fairways get baked, iron play counted more than wood." Like Ouldahl, Hog an and a flock of other pros out of the Southwest, he was no great shakes as an amateur, JUST IN UNDER THE WIRE A little over six years ago he turned pro. Three years ago, when assistant at Rldgewood, he worried and fretted about his golf. Then he made up his mind that he would have to win by 1939.

According to his figuring, he Just got in under the wire. Losing was tough for Wood. It was his third defeat in play-offs for at lr.mil honors. He lost the British open play-off to Shute and dropped Romero, 170, veteran from California. In Gallagher, assistant managers, and Raymond Nolan, senior manager.

Capt. William (Billy) Parks, Edvird Ryan, William Douglas and Charles Murphy were the only ones to receive two major "A's."

Bushivicks Out To Maintain irc-JbigniijUp Having taken two out of three games under their arc lights so far this season the Bushwicks are eager to keep up that winning tempo and kayo the Queens club tomorrow night at Dexter Park, This will be no easy task, for Joe Benes' team recently toppled the Farmers twice and threatens to be far from a soft touch in its appearance at. Max Rosner's reservation. The Bay Parkways, who are scheduled to collide with the Royal Giants twice next Sunday at Erasmus field, play the Long Island City nine in a night game at Red Bank tonight.

The Bushwicks' other arc light opposition this week is the Jim Barton Nlghthawks, who will be met Friday at Dexter Park. Tommy Neppell manages the Hawks. Jim Peterson pitched excellent ball in the Bushwlck opener Sunday, but the rest of Joe Press' staff fell to pieces in the nightcap with the Newark Eagles, and the colored team rapped out 20 base hits of assorted sizes. Press hopes to have his mound corps organized again before the Sunday appearance at Dexter Park of the Black Yankees, who took two out of three games Sunday from local opposition. The Yanks split with the Bay Parkways Sunday afternoon and then walloped the Farmers at night.

Next Sunday the Farmers open at Ebbets Field with a double bill with the Springfield Greys. Union City visits Cedarhurst and the Brooklyn Royal Giants are at Freeport against the Farmers in Sunday night games. The Springfield Greys, behind timely base bitting and good pitching by Hal Benne and Gene Phillips, registered a 6-to-3 victory over the Newark Eagles last night at Sherwood Oval, Springfield Gardens The Greys collected 12 blows off two Eagle pitchers while Benne and Phillips allowed the visitors nine safeties.

He was edged out of a hole-in-one on the second, where he hit a perfect brassie from the tee.

About the only time Byron outdrove him was on the third, and there Byron took a tip from Craig's pitch to" the back of the green ana darned near holed out. What with Craig three-putting from well back and Nelson getting his birdie, Wood dropped two and then was stung for two more when Nelson holed that brilliant No. 1 iron.
