LARGER PURSE.
FOR PEA. CROWN
BY LAWTON CARVER


International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, July 18 Q.N.SD. D.
Next years national professional
golf championship undoubtedly
will be held at New York as part
Of the worlds fair, but more i'm
Iportant than that, 1t was limited
today, there will be one of the
biggest purses at stake ever put up
for the tournament. Also, the Off
cials are going to try to make some
sense out of the financial angle of
the thing by giving the winner
substantial prize.
They don't know yet how much
money they will be able to lay on
the line, but they really are going
to go out and make a tremendous
sporting extravaganza out of it,
If some gents have their way.
Plainly, the tournament has
retrograded in the last few years,
with the one of last week at
Shawnee on the Delaware some
what below standard in many re-
spects, although the purse was the
biggest ever. 1t crossed $4,000.
STINGY GRAND PRIZE
However, by the time they had
finished chopping that up among
the participants for expenses and
for minor prizes among those who
failed to reach the finals, there
was only in the neighborhood of
$1,100 in it for Paul Runyan, Of
White Plains, N. Y, who won tire
event for the second time, beating
Sam Snead, of White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, 8 and 7.
What they want to do now is
increase that first prize money,
according to some Of them, and
there also has been some discus
sion over discontinuance of the
practice Of purposely making the
course where the tournament is
held slightly phoney.
Over at Shawnee, for instance,
the layout was simplified, If any
thing, by the arrangement of the
cups on the greens. and while the
course was called par 72, it ac-
tually was nearer a 10. That made
the scoring look good-especially
Runyan's "a under par for 1856
holes-but it didn't fool anybody.
Not that Runyan didn't shoot good
golf. He did all Of that, and he
still would have been under par,
whether it had been 10 or other
wise.
But it would have looked better
if that par had been around a 10
and that check probably would
have looked better to him if it had
been twice the size 1t turned out
to be.

Poison. Eating
Question Finds
Partial Ans,ver
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The Public Health Service gave 4
partial answer today to the long dis
puted question of how much Nead
arsenate, a poison used for keeping
insects of fruit, q man can consume
without injury.
On account Of the toxic effect of
the residue of the poisonous spray on
apple skins, the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration refuses to allow COM
merce in apples bearing more than a
certain small amount of the sub
stance. The growers complaint that
the administration was too exacting
in its requirements prompted Con-
gress a year ago to appropriate fund
for the Health Service to study the
matter.
In the first of a series of reports,
the service relates that it fed 100 milli-
grams of lead arsenate to each of two
men in 10 days and that they suffered
no Ill effects.
The service points out. however, that
its findings apply only to the stu
alton studied, and that they do not
conclude the chemical would not be
toxic If taken in larger doses or If
smaller doses were taken over long
periods of time.
The two men who were subjects for
the experiment consumed apples, milk
and crackers with the poison. Each
ate one kilo of apples day. this being
one kilo for each 10 milligrams of
lead arsenate.
The Food and Drug Administration
does not permit commerce in apples
which contain more than 2.57 MILL
grams Of lead and more than IA milli-
grams Of arsenic per kilo Of food.
