Fred Corcoran, Snead’s business consultant! said yesterday Sam had asked that an entry be filed for the British championship, sched uled July 5-9 at Royal Birkdale— with one contingency. To keep the overseas date, Snead must first win the U. S. Open at Baltusrol in Springfield, N. J., June 17-19. This is a title which has been carefully abiding the West Virginian for 17 years. “I’d like to play in the British Open but it would all depend on how I do at Baltusrol,” Sam said after scoring a record victory in the Round Robin at suburban Meadow Brook Sunday. “If I should win the Open I think I would be almost certain to play. Fred Corcoran is supposed to send in my entry.” Snead stayed over yesterday, hoping to take his first swing aroung the Baltusyol course. But when the weather turned bad, the returned to his Greenbrier base at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. Jimmy Demaret and Gene Sara- zen also are entering the British Open. Hogan, who captured the crown last year at Carnoustie aft er triumphs in the Masters and the U. S. Open at Oakmont, has announced he won’t be among the competitors. Don Kellett, general manager of the Baltimore Colts of the National Football League, played nine games as an infielder with the 1934 Bos ton Red Sox.
