Golfing Idea
A couple of golfing enthusiasts
last night suggested that Whining
nm stage an open golf tournament
next year, with a purse of $4,000 be-
ing mentioned as enough to induce
the acknowledgement pros to beat
q path to the local links.
The idea should not be scoffed at
loo lightly, for a tourney officially
inferred in the PGA books with an
established date, say just following
rhe Augusta Masters tournament,
should certainly draw enough Of the
biz names in golfdom to assure the
sronsors of at least breaking even
The suggestion is worth working
and we, for one, would like to
see an effort made to place Will

CARDS 270
TO BREAK RECORD
Craig Wood Wins Second Prize
With 279; Four Pros Tie
For Third Place
By BILL BONI

GREENSBORO, March 2S-QR-
Ben Hogan, the little man with the
big golf game, cut loose with a sew
e~n-under-par finish in the $4,000
Greensboro Open Golf tournament
today to win first prize Of $1,000
with a tournament record score of
27O.
The hard-hitting Texas welter-
weight, breaking 70 on each of his
four rounds, shot a 66 over the
Sedgefield Country club course this
morning to hold a seven stroke lead
with 10 holes to go. Sticking to his
fire-for.the-pin tactics right to the
final hole, he blazed through the last
round in 81. And thus handed an
all-star field an all-star licking.
It was his second triumph and
second tournament mark within
eight days. Last Thursday at Pin
hurst he set a new record for the
North-South Open with a score of
277. His 270 here was one stroke
lower than the former mark set by
sam Snead in the first Greensboro
Open two years ago.
Hogan was SO consistently bril-
liant that it is hard to describe the
type of game he played. Even Ralph
Guldafl, two-time National Open
champion who has played with tie
White Plains IN. " ace for the last
two rounds, had to concede that '.et
rarely if ever seen a similar exhibit
ton for So holes.
Hogan's drives, which whistled as
they went by, consistently out-dis-
tanced Guldahl and Craig Wood, the
veteran blond bomber whose 279 was
good for second place. His iron shots
time and again were placing him in
side his partners. Even on the rare
occasions when his approaches fell
short Of the fringe, he would chip
up so dead to the cup that another
turn or two would have dropped the
ball in for a birdie.
For the day Hogan had only two
bogeys, II on each round. Both
came on short holes where he miss I
the green. Otherwise, he had nine
brides and rs pars. He didn't have
a single five on his card, had &c
tours, nine threes and a deuce on tbs
seventh hole in the afternoon, where
his No. 4 iron rolled the ball three
inches wide of the cup and only Is
inches beyond it.

The government will attempt to
prove that the defendants conspired
with Musica to defraud the stock
holders by representing that the as
sets Of the domestic and Canadian
corporations were $21 100000 more
than what they actually were. The
securities and exchange commission
had charged that Coster-M usics
"siphoned between $4,000, 900 and
$4,000, 900 out Of the company by pay
ment for goods and services never
received"
Selection Of a jury was expected
to require several days, after which
the government will introduce Musi-

Judge Inglis' motion was short
and to the point.
It was headed, Estate OF Con-
necticut VS.. T. Frank Hayes ct al
Memorandum on Motions That Ex-
pense of Printing Evidence Be Paid
BY the State.
Some Examinations
The conspiracy trial judge started
his memorandum with a paragraph
setting forth that the expense Of
printing the evidence in the motions
to set aside the verdict in the case
is estimated to be $4,000. The Judge
points out, however, that a very
considerable amount Of the tram
script upon which the estimate Is
based is made up of argument Of
counsel which will be eliminated
from the printing and he asserts
that the cost Of the printing will be
substantially less than that of So
900 set up as the figure for printing
Judge Inglis then goes on to say
that fourteen of the defendants In
the case have appealed from the
denial OF the motion to set aside the
verdict in the case. OF these he
says only five have filed motions
that the state pay the expense Of
printing and of the five only three
are pressing their motions.
Eleven Can Afford 1t
The memorandum goes on to say,
Presumably therefor at least eleven
of the defendants can afford to pay
the printing charge so that the most
that each Of the three who are press
ing these motions will be called upon
to pay Is one-fourteenth of the
printing charge. Their individual
share will amount to less than 500"
"There is no indication that any
Of these three are ready to ask for
the services of the public defender
and the evidence produced on the
hearing does not convince the court
that these three are unable to raise
their respective share Of the ex-
pense either by borrowing or some
other way"
"In any event public interest does
not require that these defendants
be relieved Of the expense of their
appeal.
The memorandum Is concluded
with the statement:
"All motions that the state pay
the expense Of the printing are
denied.
It Is estimated that It will take at
least fifteen weeks to print the EVIL
dence. This makes 1t almost certain
that the case will not be heard be-
fore the fall term Of the Supreme
Court.

Reliable political circles reported
today that Sweden early this week
proposed peace terms to Russia and

time for negotiations had arrived
because the Russians had succeeded
In some advances in Finland while
the Firms had suffered no major

Activities here were surrounded by
great secrecy.
All official circles, including the
Swedish foreign office and the Fin

between Finland and Russia were

The indictment on which the five

them with mail fraud, violation OF

Holt Up for Reelection
Holt is an anti-New Deal Demo-

year. For him and others in the
senate who want third term show
down there Is fragment of hope in
the possibility that preferential pri-
mary contests in which President
Roosevelt and Vice President John
N. Garner will be opposing candi-

boost the latter's stock.
Gamers Best opportunity seems
to lie IN Washington where two
Roosevelt states are entered in the

tions Of Wisconsins Democratic
party. Garner is represented there
by single slate and it Is possible
the situation may work out to his
advantage.

there are no double-slate complica-
