Proves His Point

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va.-A guest at
the Country Club Of Virginia sur
veyed the 154-yard par 8 bridge
hole and asked Caddy Bobby
Rogers advice about the proper
club.
"A No. 8, SIR" Bobby replied
promptly.
The guest measured the stiff
wind and said he couldn't get home
with the No. 6. Bobby insisted.
Well, If you think so, let's see
you hit one to the green"
Bobby scored a neat hole -in-oue.

PROS HERE SHUN
OPEN AT DENVER
Tedious Trip, Expense Keep
Sectional Golf Trial
Field to Fl Today.
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Two hundred bucks and a week of
more or less wasted time stand be-
tween most of the golf professionals
in this sector and the national open
championship, if one of them was
good enough to win it. A skimpy
field, shorn of several of the stars of
this sector, started in the 36-hole
qualification round at Indian Spring
today, where 3 out of 81 were to quail
ify for the championship now held by
Ralph Guldahl of Madison, N. J.
Top item of the reluctance of the
pros to enter and play in the tourney
is the distance of the scene of the
championship from Washington. The
tourney will be played at the Cherry
Hills Club of Denver, Colo, which Is
around 1,700 miles from the Zero mile
stone. and is history's farthest west
for the open championship.
Expense Checks Pros.
The pros figure trip to Denver
will cost around 5000 at the lowest
estimate Many of them don't think
it will be worth while to take that
long choo-choo ride to finish out of
the money The others hope and
pray they'll be on their stick if they
qualify and go to Denver, for the
open championship is the big one of
the year and the one tourney in which
almost every pro wants to play.
just as last year, when the amateur
championship went to the Pacific
Northwest, and the amateurs passed
it up with gusto. so the pros are
passing up the tournament at Denver
Right off the bat Witty Cox. the tall
browed Congressional mentor, has
withdrawn, although Wifi entered and
sent in his 5-buck fee. But he isn't in
the starting field at Indian Spring
today
To be perfectely honest, there aren't
many pros in this sector who have a
chance to win, or to finish in the
money.
Few Have ANY Chance.
Cox has been consistently up there
over the last half dozen years, and
Leo Walper and Benny Loving might
get into the dough. Cliff Spencer is
an outside chance, if he qualities, but
on the records Of the other competitors
from the Middle Atlantic section. you
can't rate them much chance against
the tough opposition that will gather
at Denver next week And the boys
have weighed that and the 200 bucks
and the wasted week and have passed
up the tourney.
Those are the main reasons the
field at Indian Spring is so small
today Your run-of-the-mine pro
golfer doesn't have 200 bucks to toss
around. particularly at this time of
year. And if he has it, he doesn't
care to spend it on what probably
would turn out to be a wild-goose
chase.
