Who Won

> Slammin' Sam Snead: the match play championship of the Professional Golfers' Association, only national golf title attainable this year; defeating U.S. Army Corporal Jimmy Turnesa, youngest of the six Turnesa pros, 2 and 1 in the final; at the Seaview Country Club, near Atlantic City. Though Snead is considered the best shotmaker since Bobby Jones, this is his first national golf title. This week he enters the Navy.

> Market Wise, with Basil James up: the 56th annual Suburban Handicap; defeating famed Whirlaway by three lengths; before a Memorial Day crowd of 52,000; at New York's Belmont Park. The day's pari-mutuel handle was $2,176,071, a world's record for one day's racetrack betting.
