P. G. A. Raises Purse Limit.
Meeting here last night with George
r. Jacobus, president of the Profess
sional Golfers Association, some IS
leading players agreed that only tour
naments with purses Of $4,000 or more
should be scheduled by the associa-
ton. At present the minimum limit
for P. G. A. purses is $4,000.
The suggestion must be presented be-
fore the Executive Committee OF the
P. G. A. for final approval and adop-
ton. The committee is expected to
meet within a week or 10 days.
Il believe this action is for the best
interests of both players and tourna-
ment sponsors" Jacobus said, "and
will tend to popularize golf and con-
tinue to raise the standard OF tourna-
ment play
Charges Putting Procedure.
The group also agreed. in order to
speed up play, that the player farthest
away from the hole on the green
should putt first and continue until
he holes out. The change will become
effective at the Augusta tournament.
Big Ed Dudley, the Augusta pro, and
Byron Nelson, 26-year-old Reading,
Pa, star, were established favorites by
professionals to capture top money of
$500 in the $4,000 to be distributed

classic, all on hand, are Horton Smith
of Chicago, who has won two of the
four tournaments; Gene Sarazen of

Mackenzie Quits as Golf Pro
To Join Father In Business:
Indian Spring Hires Ja1nison

Surprises In two packages came to
Washington golfers today as 1t was
announced that Roland Mackenzie had
resigned as the professional at Con-
gressional Country Club and that Al
Jamison. former assistant pro at Ken
wood, was to be George Diffenbaugh's
successor at Indian Spring.
MacKenzie's resignation was rendered
in order that the one-time Walker
Cup team member might become sales
manager of a laundry owned and op-
Grated by his father and uncle. The
only man who ever won every major
local tournament in one year before
turning pro In 1888 had been at Con-
gressional for four years on March /.
Jamison, Witty Cox's assistant for
nearly four years, is 20 years old and
was the only one Of IS applicants
whose bid for the position was con-
sidered seriously by Mrs. Alma Won
Steiner, Indian Springs manager.
Loving Replaces Jamison.
Jamisons position at Kenwood will
be taken by Benny Loving, a we'll
known tournament player.
In Mackenzie, Congressional loses
a man who was a member of the
Walker Cup team in 1926, 1928 and
1880, the medalist in the 1925 national
amateur and a semi-finalist in the
same event two years later He did
not turn pro until April, 1888, when
he assumed duties at the Broadmoor
Golf Club Of Colorado Springs, Colo.
The same year he returned to his
home In Washington to play in the
National Capital open and was offered
the job at Congressional.
Mackenzie will retain his men,
bership In the P. G. A. but plans no
tournament golf for at least a year.
His only playing will be over week
ends for recreation purposes. No in
timation Of his successor was forth
coming from Theodore S. Grape, Con-
gressional president.
Well known through his association
with three other local clubs, Jamison's s
appointment as Diffenbaugh's success
sor at the Spring promises to be a
popular one. He started his profess
sional career at the Wilmington Coun-
try Club in Delaware in 1923, making
his first local connection with the
Capitol Golf Club, then Bannock-
burn. in 1929 as Tony sylvester's as
sistant. He Immediately established a
course record at Bannockburn by
shooting 81 and within week shot
SO to win the first Middle Atlantic
P. G. A. tournament in which he ever
competed.

to the Army-Navy Club as Frank
Hartig's aide and also worked with

Post Wants To Know Amount

"How much money do Ashe coun-
ty people spend on hospital bills in
one year," is a vital question which
has been asked many times since The
Post recommended the establish
ment of an Ashe County Hospital as
a goal rof 1888.
This is certainly a logical question
and it is necessary to know an APP
proximate answer in order to de-
termine whether or not a county
health institution would be a profit
able venture and investment.
It costs money to build a hospital
and to operate it after it has been
built also takes money. Regardless
Of where the money should come
from for construction, it is essential
to know about show much business
can be done in year?"
There are large number of citi-

zens who are already keenly inter-

zens have suggested that they
would contribute substantially to
establish hospital.

number of dollars and cents spent
last year for hospital bills, The Post
is going to conduct survey and re-
quests everyone to cooperate by

Impressive Corner Stone Laying Services At Lansing
Large Still And 1000 Gallons
Ut Mash Destroyed Yesterday
Owners Try To "Burn Out
Sheriff Miller And Deputies,
1t Is Believed.

A large steam still located in a
woody, isolated section in Pine
Swamp township near place called
Hewed Log Gap on No Head branch
and around 1000 gallons of mash
and beer were destroyed by Sher-
itf Ed Miller and several deputies
yesterday afternoon.
While they were in the act of de-
molishing the corn whiskey manu-
featuring plant which had recently
been erected, forest fire was start
ed in the woods about $50 yards
away by the owners of the still, Of
ficers reported, although they said
they couldn't prove it, of course.
We were just ready to destroy the
still when we spotted a big fire
down in the woods below u.s." Sher-
iff Miller said. II am almost posi-
tive they were trying to detract our
attention because we had passed
right by the place where the fire
was started as we went up to the
STILL"
The sheriff stated that they hur-
ried to the scene of the fire as soon
as they had demolished the still and
tried to put it out, but didn't make
much Roadway. "This rain, I'm glad
to say, viii fix it," he declared.
There were three watts filled with
beer and mash and officers estimat-
ed that they contained around 1000
gallons. The still was located Tues
day night, but officers were in hopes
of catching it in operation yester-
day.
Deputy Sheriffs C. O. Parsons and
Walter Stringer assisted the sheriff.
The Post staff photographer made
several pictures of the still. =
