BarteH And McNair Hustling For Same Job
Raw. U. 6. Raa On.I


 Augusta, 0a, April . --(UP)-- They tee off in the Augusta Mas ters tournament today and I like the hill-billy.
 You know, 0l' Samuel Jackson Snead, who hasn't changed . lick since he came down from the mountains of West Virginia, with . i've dollra set of clubs and Q heaven-sent swing. You read 90 much about Sammy that you are inclined to think of him as a know ing, travelled man of the world, 6 celebrity with the touch of airs that is the first symptom of head line fever.
 Well, I played lS holes with him yesterday, and he is just the same country boy he was when he was "toting" sticks aS Q 0Addy. He must have read ten thousand times that he is the finest hitter of Q golf ball in the country, and that he should dominate his profession as completely as Joe Louis does his, but he never has believed 1t. He frets over his swing, his putting stroke. his explosion shots, just as you and I do.
 In that hill-billy dialect of his, he cusses the ball, cusses the clubs, cusses himself. He throws his driver, hurls his butter. and stomps his feet after bad shots, just as does the IA handicap shooter. But watching him play for 18 holes-watching him closely - you are bound to wonder how he ever loses c tournament. I don't say and I don't think should, after only ten years of watching top- flight golf-that he Is the greatest hitter of them all. am willing to dhrnit that there have been other golfers who stroked the ball just as well. But no one will ever tell me that anyone ever hit the ball better than Snead does. He must be given Q tie.
 Mechanical Man
 During the l8 holes we played, I watched his hands, his feet, his hips, his head, and his everything else that books and teachers have told me play a prominent part in the golf swing. He is perfect in every department. Watching him, you get the feeling that in Snead golf has finally produced, after years of tinkering, a living me- chanical man who does everything without effort and without flaw.
 OR the tee he hit with no strain, yet he plays par four holes with a drive and Q sand wedge. From the brassie to the butter, his style is right out of the book. This Is not just my opinion. Half of the men who play against him have told me that, rated strictly off his ability to hit the blal, he Is four strokes better than any other competitor in 72 holes.
 Then why doesn't he win all the time? He wins enough to make him the most feared player in golf all right, but why doesn't he wir nine of ten tuornamentS2 I asked him what he thought the answer

Mulligan, Andrews and Leonard Help Win A.A.U.
 Team HOnOfs at Boston
Ny TOM NoONAN


 (rnited Press Stan Correspondent) .. Boston, April g. (UP) - Three i iteen-aged Massachusetts, Tyros to. day wore ring crowns enblematic of their success in the 34th National Amateur Boxing championships.
 The triumphant threesome- dleweight James Mulligan and Welterweight Dave Andrews, of Lowell, Mass, and Teatherweight Francis Leonard of Taunton, Mass. -earned team honors for the New England A. A. U. before a crowd of 0,80i in last nights final at Boston Garden.
 The three division titles repre- sented New England's finest show ing in the Nationals since 1880 when this section also gained three championships.
 No other state landed more than one title. Eight new champions were crowned with Illinois, Penn. sylvania, Oregon, Ohio and Arkan. sas the other states acquiring titles.
 New rulers in the other five classes were heavyweight Ragan Kinney of Hartman, Ark, light heavyweight weight shelton Bell of Wilberforce, Ohio, Lightweight Tommy Mover of Portland, Oregon, Bantamweight Raymon Brown of Chicago, H., and Flyweight Lawrence Torpey of Philadelphia, Pa.
 Questionable officiating naarred the finals. The crowd greeted three decisions with sustained jeers end boos. The verdicts involved the trumphs of Mulligan, Kinney and Torpey.
 Southpaw Mulligan, 10, student, piled up @ commanding lead in the first two rounds, shaking Johnny Lawyer of Cleveland, Ohio, with head and body punches. Lawer, ls40 h- nalist, rallied tnagnificently in the closing session and had Mulligan wobby at the bell.
 Kinney, 182-pound heavyweight who teaches mathematics, outpoint- ed Al Jordon, Kansas City, Mo-, negro, by stabbirg his giant op- ponent,s face with occasional lefts and then clinching. He appeared tired as result of his brilliant semi- final win over Rowdy Rodie ODooley, from Steamboat Springs, Colo.
 The Gritty Torpey clashed with Harold Dade, smart-working Chicago negro who iored continually with an accurate left only to lose the decision when Torpey staged brief thir-round rally.
 The only knockout of the final was scored by Brown, 17, a high school senior who was awarded c technical kayo when the referee stopped the bout in the first round of his clash with Novice Tony De- Gregorio of Boston, only losing Massachusetts finalist.
 Truck Driver. Leonard pondded out unanimous decision over Carl Palombo of Amsterdam, N. F., by briskly beating the mid-section and switching to face when the New Yorker dropped his guard.
 Classy Tommy Mover, twice q finalist, hit the jackpot with e clever display against Gus Stan- ford, Cameron Aggies.
 The handsome Andrews, a W. P. A. worker, warmed slowly but had George Horne of Niles, Ohio, slowed to a walk at the finish. Bell waltzed and clogged his way to vistory over James Reddick of St. Louis, Mo-, in the dullest bout o fthe long program htat also show cd 16 semi-flra contests.
