SPEAKING or
SPORTS
BY ROBERT McSHANE
Released BY Western Newspaper Union

AIHAT promises to be one Of the
w most interesting winter golf
campaigns ever known Is well un-
der way with most Of last years pro-
fessional favorites still ensconsed in
the golden seat, managing to hold
their own against all corners.
With approximately $4,000 In
prize money to shoot at, the pros
have numbered their biggest guns.
The quest for gold and glory started
in Miami recently, and continues
some 10000 miles UP and down the
West coast, then to Arizona and
Texas, then to New Orleans, and
finally, back to Florida.
First successful searcher was
Lord" Byron Nelson, he of the
poetic golf swing, who headed west
ward with $2,5O0 Miami Open money
in his pocket. Nelson, conceded by
many fellow professionals to be the
worlds greatest golfer, won the af-
fair with I'll, nine strokes under
par for the u holes. He won by a
single stroke from Clayton Heafner
Of Linville, N. c.
Money Winner
Little Ben Hogan of White Plains,
N. Y. the years leading money
winner. finished with 275 total
and third place. Sam Snead Of Hot
Springs, and Willie Goggin Of Mi
ami. tied for fourth with 277.
No one was particularly surprised
to see Nelson walk Of with top hon.
ors in the initial tournament Of the
winter circuit. Not even his closest
competitor begrudged him the
$2,5Oo, for Lord Byron was on his
game-and that means golf near
perfection. By the same token, how
ever, no one would have been sur
prised II the victory had gone to
Hogan, Snead, Demaret, Smith or
any one Of . dozen other 1939-4O
favOrites.
It is only natural that lot Of
questions remain unanswered as
yet. The winter campaign is too
young to be used as the basis for
any representations.
For instance, can Slammin' Sam
my Snead finally hit his true stride
and start winning tournaments with
that beautiful swing? Remember
that he finished the fall meets in
good shape. And he opened the
winter wars with a good showing.
Dub golfers don't place fourth
against competition like the Miami
Open offered. For a while things
were looking dark for the West vir-
ginian. He had blown the National
Opens of Philadelphia and Cleve-
land In 1889 and 1910. He lost his
poise in the pinches and his men
tai attitude went haywire when the
chips were down. Later on Sammy
regained his courage. He won three
of his last four big tournaments and
gave Nelson real battle for the
professional golfers crown.

LoUery Speaking

"As I recall it," Eddie said, 1.-THE
three were all even as they passed
the turn. could see worried look
on the faces Of both Vardon and
Ray. They had expected the in
experienced 20-year-old kid to crack
wide open. But here he was cooler
than ever. He didn't watch their
drives. He just kept playing his
own game. Then on the tenth hole
both Vardon and Ray took three
puts and Ouimet was out in front.
"They all played fine golf the
next few holes, and then big Ted
Ray was the first to break up. This
left the battle between Francis and
the great Harry. And II was Var
don who finally couldn't stand the
strain and the fast pace any longer
as he, too, cracked and Francis
with a birdie picked up two more
strokes. The killing thrust.
Francis was still as cool and as
unruffied as II he had been playing
a dime Nassau with two old pals.
1t was still raining and the course
was wet and soggy, but ouimet's
drives continued to find the middle.
His iron play was perfect and his
putter was smoking hot. The two
veterans couldn't stand up against
that finishing "a under such condi-
tons, especially when they had
looked for a certain runaway"
That must have been big
thrill" l said to Lowery.
1T was thrill I've never for
gotten, and never will. Eddie SAID.

What Happened Later

''You can imagine how tremen-
dous was the excitement" Lowery
said. Few thought the 20-year-old
kid with the 10-year-old caddie had
even an outside chance against two
famous British golfers who had
played in so many British Opens. A
good many Of Ouimet's friends
thought I was too young and too
small to caddie in an event so i'm
portant. They insisted on some old
er caddie, but Francis held out for
me-"
I'm pick the story here for a
moment" Ouimet cut in. Next
morning, a short while before the
match, Eddie came and got my bag.
You won't want to hit any prac-
tice shots, will your he asked, know
ing that I seldom did. I said, NO.
Eddie then said. I'll see you in about
half an hour Where reyou going?'
/ asked. We start in few min
utes.' I'll tell you later Eddie an
swered as he hustled away. AS we
were all three ready to drive off !

Where have you been?' I asked
him.

he whispered, but I've been hiding
in that barn. There's a truant off,

Randolph HopestoS See
Early Senate Action
On D, f. Crime Bills
Confident Three Measures
Will Pass and Help
Fight on Luwbreokers

Hope that the Senate will take
early action on House-approved
bills strengthening the laws against
habitual criminals and vagrants
in the District and increasing the
Metropolitan Police Force by 100
was expressed today by Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee.
Mr.. Randolph expressed conf
dence that the three measures
would pass the Senate. He added
that he felt they would aid materi-
ally in Washington's fight against
crime.
The West Virginian also was
pleased to see the new Superin-
tendent of Police, Edward j. Kelly,
taking over with the united sup
port of Congress and of the COM
munity."
The two bills amending District
criminal statutes grew out of the
recent investigation Of the Police
Department by subcommittee OF
the House District Committee. The
measure increasing the police force
also was an indirect result Of the
same inquiry, although it was intro
duced by Representative Cochran
Democrat, of Missouri, who is not a
member of the District Committee
Mr.. Randolph interrupted a vaca-
ton to return to Washington to-
day and appear before the Secretary
of Agriculture in behalf of West
Virginia apple growers, who are
complaining against certain prac-
tices of the Commodity Credit Corp
as detrimental to their industry.
The House was in legislative recess
today until September Is, although
it will go through the formality o1
meeting and adjourning every three
days. Most of the members are Out
of town and no bills will be brought
UP on the floor during the vacation
period.

In the bus holdup, the driver,
George c. Whitacre, 2021 R street
NE, told police two armed men
boarded the vehicle shortly after
8 am. and held him up at bus
stop at Fourth and w streets NE.
He said they took SIPS in cash and
nine streetcar passes, and then fed
through an alley toward Fifth street.
Police reported the woman arrest
ed in connection with weekend rob-
berries had been operating in the bet
ter hotels of the District, entering
rooms by means of a pass key. An
alarm for her was spread yesterday
after a man, suddenly awakened,
had seen her run from his room and
had discovered $50 was missing from
his clothing. She was taken into
custody shortly afterward as she at
tempted to leave the building.
Louis Rubin. proprietor OF a shoe
shop in the 1900 block of Seventh
street NV, notified police his place
had been entered and that sl8 had
been stolen from a shelf under the
counter. Nothing else was disturbed,
he said.

somewhat in Saturdays trial run.
He found that at one stretch in the
course the suns reflection on the
black hood of his racer blinded
him, causing him to sway the car
slightly. He dulled it with an anti
glare panel.
$4,000 See Event.
More than $4,000 persons jammed
the stands and adjacent hillsides
during the racing program yester-
day. The weather was partly cloudy
and q gradually diminishing breeze
blew. The festivities opened with q
parade in which band after band
marched down the incline.
Times of the various early races
furnished only vague idea Of the
final outcome.
For instance, the eventual winner
took the national honors with his
worst time, but one, in five trips OF
the starting ramp. The Wichita
entry, although hanging up the best
figure, was eliminated in the third
round.
The fourth, fifth and sixth placers
were Donald D. Nichols, Fort Wayne,
Ind; Richard Davis, Placerville,
Calf, and Kirk StetSon, Rochester,
N. Y, respectively.
Douglas F.. Sawdey of Iowa City,
Iowa, struck the kick board" at
the side of the course in his first
round try and stopped before reach
ing the finish line. A Derby onicial
carried him across on his shoulders,
and the crowd assuaged his anguish
with applause.
