To Be Kept by Him,
Says Williams
Not for Sale, No Option
Given, Declares Owner
Of EIIicott City Club

Dorsey M. Williams, owner and
president of the All View Country
Club, near Ellicott City, Nd, isn't
interested in exhibition matches nor
the sale Of the property which now
Is one OF the better public golf courses
in this area. Il have plenty of play
on this course" Mr.. Williams said
today. Nor am I planning to dispose
of this property.
1T Is utterly untrue that any one
has an option on this property to sell
to any group or individual. I am
the sole owner and since this is q
going golf concern I plan to keep it
so. What could I do with exhibition
matches when I have as much play
here as I can handler"
Williams made this statement in
refutation Of a report published in
The Star that a Baltimore business
man had obtained an option on the
All View course intending to sell it TO
a syndicate of colored persons with
the property to be converted into q
country club for colored.
Il have sold no option on this
property to anyone or any group"
Williams said. ut is mine and mine
alone and I have no present inten-
ton OF selling nor optioning it to

Several weeks ago The Star was in

that he had an option to buy the
property for resale. This Williams

CHICAGO. July l9.-It's hard to
figure it ,out any way except that
Byron Nelson and Henry Picard are
the men to beat in this week ends
Western open golf tournament, a
calculation of which Defending
Champion Ralph Guldahl no doubt
keenly is aware.
Guldahl won the Western title
when he couldn't win anything else
back in 1886, and maybe a victory in
the 40th annual renewal OF the
fixture will set him of on another
winning streak In major competi-
ton, but first he must dispose of
the red-hot Picard two
some, as well as lot of other top
flight golfers.
Holds Title Three Years.
Since winning his first Western
Open three years ago, Guldahl has
added two more Westerns to make
1t three in row and has won and
lost the National Open title. Now
he faces a possible shutout in the
summer pro title league.
Nelson, National Open champion
and Picard, the new P. G. A. cham
pion, are the shotmakers who have
stolen his thunder.
This trio and about $50 other pros
and amateurs will tee of Friday
over the Medinah County Club
course in the first round of the To-
hole medal play event. Another ls
holes follow Saturday and the final
SO Sunday.
Tommy Armour. Medinah pro
holds the Western Open low scoring
record. He won with a 273 in 1929
at Milwaukee.
Counts in VardOn Trophy Race.
In addition to the title, improved
rating in the Vardon Trophy con-
test and the money derby are at
stake in the Western.
victory in the Western counts 60
points in the Vardon race. Picard
leads now with 3s3 points. Nelson
has 1853, Sam Snead, 268; Dick Metz,
23l. and Guldahl, 1879. Picard also
tops the money winners, having
earned $8,l77 this year. Snead is
second with $6,777 and Nelson third
with s6673.
The entry list for the Western
reads like a who's who of pro golf.
