P PUBLIC LINKS
|CHAMP SPURNS
PRIVATE COURSE

Andy Oliver, the husky golfer
who put on a brilliant stretch
drive to win the District Public
Links championship by three
strokes, has no intention of for
saking the pay-as-you-play division
Of linksmen. Fact is, he wants no
part of the fine fairwayS, smooth
green's, and beautiful scenery of a
private country club.
why join a club and cut
myself out of a chance to take
the other two legs on that big
trophy?" he asks. when I
won that one leg Thursday, the
other two began to look mighty
desirouS."
YOUNG VETERAN
Andy is veteran public linkser,
having begun playing at the public
courses before he went to high
school. He's as familiar to the
average public-course player as
the temporary green's at Rock
Greek. Naturally, not as obnoxious.
He probably wouldn't know how
to play if he couldn't carry his
own bag.
It was in 1885 that Andy
started on the trail Of a District
championship He was fifth in the
title event that year, missing a
playoff for fourth position on the
District team by three strokes. In
1886 he was only one stroke away
from a team berth.
Last year ne plugged though IS
holes Of medal play, coming to
the last hole in the final round
with Claude Rippy a single stroke
ahead of him. Andy was five feet
from the cup in two strokes and
Rippy was 10 feet off the green.
1t was Andy'S chance TO go into
extra holes and possibly win.
Rippy settled it all, though, by
running down what might have
been called lucky chip shot.
LIVES GAME
Maybe Andy loves the game too
much to bedeck it with what he
terms country-club frillS. He plays
every chance he gets. Last year,
he says, while the Harding Cup
team was on the way to San Fran
cisco for the national tournament,
he spent half his time trying to
figure out a way to practice on
the train. None of his teammates
seemed enthused, so he subsidized
and watched the telephone poles
go by.
"The train," he says, "got to
San Francisco about 8 a. M,
and-can you believe it-before
9 o'clock we were playing prac-
tice round on the Harding Me
mortal Course. With our legs
accustomed to the train ride,
we nearly had to hold on to
bushes to keep from falling flat
on our faces"
Andy snaps like a wolf at the
implication that the scores weren't
SO good in the District tourna-
ment this week.
Listen" he snorts and pokes
out his stomach, a peculiar
habit of his; "I'll back the four
guys who won berths Thursday
against any four amateurs in
Washington under the same
conditions. Lengthening East
Potomac course didn't hurt our
golf; it was all in the green's.
IF this Cleveland layout is any
good at all, we'll hold our own
with no excuses given. Boy,
were those Potomac Park green's
awful"

sewed up the gross prize with

a matched set Of Jones irons;
to NOLAN, two dozen golf balls.

Some days good golf is not
enough, as AL JAMESON and
BILL LORD discovered on the
first hole Of the Four Corners
course during a friendly match
with LOU HARRISON and
LOUIS SEMIA. JAMISON and
LORD shot brides. LOU HAIR
RIsON stepped up with a six
iron and holed out for an eagle
deuce. SEMIA holed a chip
shot for a par.
In the blind bogey event yes
terday, LOUIS sEM1A, DAVE
MAsTBROOK, and P. I. BUR-
ROWS tied with gross scores Of
78 each. All three had handi-
cap allowances of six strokes
for 72'S.
In another friendly match
PAUL DOBROWOLSKI scored
an eagle deuce on the eighth
hole after stroking the ball 300
yards down the fairway from
the tee.

Half of Salary

Various estimates, however,
placed the amount Of blackmail
for last year as high as $3.50, 900,
or approximately half Of the sal
ary Coster received while manipu-
lating affairs of McKesson &
Robbins into such state that
they now present a battling scan
dal.
How long Coster had been pay.
ing blackmail could not be learned.
Authorities declined to guess at
the total he paid out to prevent
his masquerade from being ex-
posed. The New York Journal
and American stated four of the
blackmailers received $500,000, at
the rate of $50,000 a year, from
Coster during the last 10 years.
"AUoidance" Note
In the statement he penned in a
nervous scrawl before shooting
himself to death, CoSter exoner-
ated three brothers now under ar
rest, his widow and two brothers
in-law Of all responsibility for the
drug concerns tangled affairs. He
pictured himself as a "goat"
man striving against the inevitable
collapse of firm which, he
charged, had been "bled white"
by bankers, lawyers, auditors, ap-
praisers and incompetent high
Salaried executives.
Federal authorities, h wever,
viewed Coster in a different light.
They recalled how he assumed
blame in a similar manner back
in 1913 when the Musica family
fell into the legal net. In addi.
ton, they warned that the note
was written while ,Coster was
contemplating self destruction and
also pointed out that he had been
under the care of a psychiatriSt

The facts in the case already

Coster, instead of being the
