tional Open golf championship at
Philadelphia practicing for the big
title tourney, which opens June g.,
and which will find Ralph Guldahl,
national titleholder, and Sammy
Snead rated at the top.
Leo Walper, driving range pro.
who qualified second to Snead with
14l in the sectional tests at Con-
gressional week ago today, plans
to leave the latter part of this week.
Leo is a firm believer In plenty Of
practice, and in getting accustomed
to the kinks Of the championship
course. But the others-Bobby
Brownell, the lone amateur qualifler;
Witty Cox of Congressional, and AL
Houghton, now attached to George
town Prep School-won't leave until
a week from today. That will give
them two days Of practice. which
should be enough.
II don't want to know too much
about the course" said Cox. Il
might find where the bunkers are
and begin to steer EN-"
Quite a few Washingtonians plan
to see the tournament, or day or
two of it. For their information
the Spring Hill course of the Phila
delphia Country Club is located
about Is miles west Of downtown
Philadelphia, a few miles from
NorristoWn, Pa, near Villanova.

Sammy Snead, who had seven
brides, had no more than Ray
Moore had over the Congressional
course yesterday. Ray had sever
brides, but where Sammy had 8
IS Ray had an IS. But where Ray
had 7 sevens, Sammy never went
over five. Naturally Moore was or
a putting spree. You have to be
to have that many birds. He went
under par on three holes of the
| first nine and four holes Of the
last nine. 1t happened to be fairly
good match-play golf.
