SNEAD SETS GOLF
WINNINGS RECORD
His 20 Takes Westchester
Event, Puts Him in Van
for Years Earnings.
~ the Assoeisted press.


WHITE PLAINS. N. Y, Sept. as
Sam snead, who ended q promising
career Is the best soda jerker in Hot
Springs, w. Va, to turn to golf, had
5000 added reasons today for rejoicing
about that change of careers.
The reasons were written on the
$1,000 check which sluggin' Sam re-
ceived yesterday after winning the
108-hole Westchester open golf tourna-
ment with score of 430, only 10
strokes over par. The only is used
advisedly, since the best golfers in the
country cracked par Just eight times
In some ITO tours Of the tough Fenway
Coli Club course.
Snead, who started his golf career
As q barefoot caddie, now has won
more prize money in one seasons try
ing than any other professional. Since
January l the smooth-swingtng West
Virginian has tucked away $l7,57283,
or $4,000 more than the previous mark
set by Horton Smith nine years ago.
Tied for tenth at the end Of IS
holes and tied for ninth at the end Of
81 holes, 6nead was in . three-Way
deadlock for nth place when yester.
days morning round started.
When he went to lunch, he had shot
. II and was tied for frst place with
Jug McSpaden at 361. One shot BE-
hind was Chandler Harper, 24-year-
old virginian who was the chief sur
prise Of the field. Another shot back
were Paul Runyan and Byron Nelson,
the latter on one-under-par SO.
Then they started leaving the door
open for him and Sam eased right
through. McSpaden blew up all over
the place and wound up tenth. With
nine holes to 60, Sam was foun shots
up on Billy Burke, Nelson, Rlnyan
and Harper. The finish was written
right there.
With Snead, Burke and Ruuyan and
Nelson, who split 1880, the big win
ners, George Murphy. angel Of the
tournament, was the big loser. Con-

Pacho. who previously was ranked,

result was a tame till calculated to
cure insomnia and deal another blow
to the anemic boxing industry here.
1t was very sad for the 500 spectators
who would shell out $1.1O to witness a
street brawl.
Fights for Minute.
For one brief minute in the second
round the pig-patterned Pacho elected
to mingle with Mamakos, but from
that point he crawled In his shell and
confined his activities to protecting
his pan.
The sour session strictly was due to
Pachos timid tactics, for the has

to make fight of it, but his cratic
punches, for the most part, were

Pacho q Ring Derelict.
A clever campaigner in his day.
Pacho currently is one of fistiana's s
derelicts who is content with the
meager wages he can grasp on a past
reputation.
Steve captured the last eight rounds

SPORT PROTECTED
BY PATROL BOATS
Many Disasters Prevented
by u. S. Serviee-Reqatta
Aid Is Invaluable.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY,
Special Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK, Sept 28.-ENery one
who fares waters of any size, salt or
fresh. knows Of the work Of the Coast
Guard. Every sailing yachtsman or
power craft skipper Is comfortably
aware that, II he, or his craft, falls into
trouble, 1t will not be long before q
cutter of size and equipment perfectly
adapted for ths work in hand will be
speeding up over the horizon in time,
as q rule, to be Of service.
It makes of yachting and cruising
a much safer sport than 1t used to
be and thus more thoroughly en-
toyable to imaginative seafarers who
are inclined to worry about unfor-
tunate things that might happen away
from the land.
The current season, for example,
has seen too many explosions and fires
aboard motor driven craft, and here
the Coast Guard service has been Of
significant value. Many lives have
been saved this summer, and while
fatalities may have occurred, this writer
has heard of none. In any case, testi-
mony of Coast Guardsmen as to fire
hazard afloat Is interesting.
Pilots Often Careless.
Carelessness and incompetence are
the two prime causes. they say, Of
conhagration and explosions. Lack
OF proper ventilation: lack Of precau-
tions in keeping bilges clear of ex-
plosive gases; general uncleaniness and
overindulgence in alcohol are sub
mitted as responsible for practically
al disasters.
guardsmen, for disastrous occurrences
In the case of craft driven by gasoline.
Engine and boat builders have done
everything to insure safety, but they
cannot 60 aboard every craft and see
that their owners are observing simple
precautions.
Another and most arniable feature
summer has been the patrolling of
yacht race courses by cutters and
speed craft. The Coast Guard Is
able to do this under a rule which
requires vessels of the service to patrol
obstructions to navigation. A meas
ured course for yacht race is very
properly construed as an obstruction,
and so Government vessels may patrol
It.
Coast Guard Fine Host.
They not only patrol courses, but
the big deep sea cutters are thrown
opsn to any and all citizens who wish
to view yacht races from the sea. For
instance, in the recent British-Ameri-
can Cup series at Oyster Bay, the
huge cutter Comanche sent her long
boat ashore hourly to pick up all
who wished to go out for the race,
and her decks were crowded with men
and women and children daily. So,
with various other regattas on the
sound elsewhere, the public found the
Coast Guard quite at its service.
Tho Navy, when a destroyer or
other craft happens to be in the
vicinity OF . yacht race-they are
seldom seen-will play host to
selected number Of guests, but trouble
Is that, If they carry more passengers
than can BE accommodated in life
boats (fact Is there never are enough
life boats for the crew, let alone pas
sengers) they are subject to arrest
by the Coast Guard. Not that Coast
Guard craft has ever taken advantage
Of the law. That would not be at all
nice.
