By WALTER McCALLUM.

Mrs. Walter L. Weible, new presi-
dent Of the Women's District Golf
Association, is convinced that under
the present setup for intercity team
matches Washington alone has little
chance to hold its own against a
strong team from another big metro
politan center such as Philadelphia.
So she is prepared to recommend
that for purposes of team matches
with such teams as that from Phila-
delphia, the best feminine golfers
from Baltimore and Virginia be
made integral parts of the Washing
ton team.
She isn't sure the plan will meet
with the wholehearted approval of
all the feminine golfers in the
Women's District Golf Association,
or even most of them. But at least
she has IDEAS, and isn't willing to
sit back and let the boat rock along
without push.
1T may sound radical to invite
women from other cities to play
on our team" said the new presi-
dent. But Philadelphia's team isn't
strictly limited to players from that
city. I understand that players from
Wilmington. Camden and other
nearby cities play on the Phila-
delphia team. That being the case.
there shouldn't be any objection to
us using players from Baltimore and
Virginia. We're all one section any,
how. I'd like to see very strong
intercity team built up. and the
prospects are better that way"

That will be an hour after Banks

pion, will be after his 18th successive
victory in Washington. His last was
scored IA months ago when he
defended his title, since lost to the
National Boxing Association, in a
bout with Baltimore's Harry Jef1ra.
At that time Banks was one of his
sparring partners and was respon-
sible for the cut over the champion's s
eye, which caused postponement of
the battle for several weeks. Banks
is given a good chance of winning
on Monday and if he does he has
been offered a shot at Jeffra in
Baltimore with a $1,000 guarantee

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 13.-A couple
OF guys named Ben paced the field
in the second round of the $4,000
Miami Open Golf Tournament to-
day-each with a 3-under-par 81.
One of them-Ben Hogan of White
Plains, N. Enlightened his grip on
the years money winning title. The
other-Ben Loving of Springfield,
Mass.-began his strongest bid for
a tournament victory after years Of
campaigning.
Close in pursuit Of the two Bens
came Ed Dudley of Augusta, Ga,
and Clayton Heafner of Linville,
N. c., with pair of 68s.
Sam Snead of Hot Springs, Va,
still hopeful of wrestling the money
title and the Vardon Trophy from
Hogan, trailed by two shots at So
with six others.
Penalty Hurts McSpaden.
Chief of those was Harold (Jug)
McSpaden of Winchester, Mass, pre-
tournament favorite, whose chances
were hurt by a penalty stroke. Nc
Spaden inadvertently touched the
ball with his putter on the green
and took an extra shot that gave
him on par hole
Even with Snead and McSpaden
were Byron Nelson Of Toledo, Ohio,
the P. G. A. champion; Jimmy
Thomson of Chicopee, Mass: Jim
Turnesa Of East View, N. Y; Claude
Harmon of Orlando, Fla, and
Tommy Wright of Knoxville, Tenn.
Ten others equaled par 70, among
them Jimmy Demaret of Houston,
Tex, who was second to Hogan in
purse earnings going into this final
tournament. KY Laffoon of Miami,
Okla, and Horton Smith of Oak
Park, ILL.,, were the other name"

Sneod Equipped to Win
If He Coins Poise

Later on Sammy regained his
feet and his courage. He won three
OF his last four big tournaments and
gave Byron Nelson a desperate bat
tie for the P. G. A. crown.
You can ask almost any golf pro
you meet and he will tell you that
Snead is the finest swinger in golf.
or at least the best SHOEMAKER from
drive to pitch. His main weakness
has been poise in the pinches and a
better mental attitude for the big
stuff
If these things are coming his way,
1t is about time they arrived through
1941. Snead is too great golfer to
miss major title, the fate that
overlook Macdonald Smith and fol-
lowed him for % years.
The year on ahead again will be
q case of watching the Texans before

grum brothers and several others
who churned up most of the dust
this last year. Hogan and Demaret
alone picked up more prize money
than any other three or four pros.
Only Consistent Stoke
Entries Have Chance
Demaret's recent play against
Lawson Little indicates another big
year for the light-hearted Texan
with the cheerful grin.
But Ben Hogan, scaling around
1870 stripped-maybe l32-remains
the mystery with the tremendous
wallop he packs in his wiry frame.
Dick Chapman, who lifted the
amateur laurels from Bud Ward last
September, is planning to play in at
least a number of big winter tourna-
ments to establish his amateur reign.
You may remember that in 1899
Bud Ward almost won the open and
then won the amateur. The Spo-
kane star looked to be in full charge
of the amateur flock until his game
suddenly lost its old consistency, and
Chapman came along to take over
the throne room and place his over
tapping grip upon the amateur scep-
ter.
The pro trail, however, is some
thing else again. When you move
into competition against the Sneads,
Nelson's, Hogans, Demarets, Littles,
Sarazens, Picards and others you are
up where only the consistent stake
entries can have any chance.

Golf Pros Trek Loaded
With Odd Angles
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13 NA.
N.AD.-The longest march in sport
for gold and glory, for fame and
cash now is under way with the pro
golfers shooting for the $4,000 in
prizes in the Miami Open. From
Miami the trail extends some 10000
miles up and down the West Coast,
the Arizona and Texas, then on to
New Orleans and back to Florida
again before the northern hike be-
gins in late March.
This will be, or should be, one of
the most interesting winter cam
paigns golf ever has known.
Here are some of the high spots
worth looking at:
/. After his fast finish in the fall,
can Sammy Snead finally hit his
true stride and start mopping up
with the best all-around swing in
golf?
2. How will Lawson Little, the new
National Open champion. make out
with the weight of the crown on his
brow?
3. Can Ben Mogan, who looks to
be the new winner of the Vardon
Trophy for low scoring and money
won, continue the pace he opened in
California year ago?
