The Tennis Twins (Spalding-made) are unmatched
iji their record in top tournament play. And here is
the clinching proof: The Wright & Ditson is the only
official tennis ball used in all U.S.L.T.A. National
Championships (since 1887). Official, too, in all U.S.
Davis Cup Matches. Official adoptions of its twin,
the Spalding, in other leading tournaments ‘asstire
their championship stature in American tennis. Play
the championship twins, to your own advantage.

Snead Aiming
For Golfdom’s
Little Slam’
NEW YORK, May 18—(/P>
Sam Snead’s big golf goal this
year is to duplicate Ben Ho
gan’s “Little Slam” of 1953—
that is, win the Masters, U.S.
and British Opens in a single sea
son.
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.

2. That tobacco is toasted to
