Recd. 6.40 p.m- New Cork, May 25. Ben Hogan beat Mike Turnesa, seven and six, at St. Louis today, to win his second American professional golf championship.

Hogan registered 65 for the morning round, and scored many birdies in the afternoon, winning the last three holes in succession.
The victory, which brings Hogan 3500 dollars, places him second among the year’s money winners with 13,897 dollars.
