By HENRY McLEMORE

AUGUSTA, Ga, April s. tUP)-
They tee off in the Augusta Masters
tournament today, and like the hill
billy.
You know. OF Samuel Jackson
Snead. who hasn't changed a lick
since he came down from the
mountains of West Virginia, with
a five dollar set of clubs and L
heaven sent swing You read SO
much about Sammy that you are in
clined to think of him as a know
ing travelled man OF the world,
celebrity with the touch of airs that
is the first symptom of headline
fever.
Well, l played 18 holes with him
yesterday, and he is just the same
country boy he was when he was
"toting" sticks as a caddy. He must
have read ten thousand times that
he is the finest hitter of a golf ball
in the country, and that he should
dominate his profession as com
pletely as Joe Louis does his, Dut
he never has believed it. He frets
over his swing, his putting stroke,
his explosion shots, just as you
and ! do.
In that hill-billy dialect of his,
he cusses the ball, cusses the clubs,
cusses himself. He throws his driver
hurls his putter, and stomps his
feet after bad shots, just as does
the IA handicap shooter.
But watching him play for 18
watching him closely-you
are bound to wonder how he ever
loses a tournament. I don't say
and 1 don't think 1 should, after
only ten years Of watching top
flight golf-that he is the greatest
hitter of them. I am willing to ad-
nit that there have been other golf
ers who stroked the oall just as we'll
But no one viii ever tell me that
anyone ever hit the ball better than
Snead does. He must be given tie.
During the 10 holes we played !
watched his hands, his feet, his
hips, his head, and his everything
else that books and teachers have
told me play prominent part In
Imperial Valley press., 1941-04-03
Today's Sport Parade

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 mechan-
ical man who does everything with
out effort and without flaw.
Off the tee he hits with no strain
yet he plays par Iour holes with
a drive and a sand wedge. From the
brassie to the putter, 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 ball, he is four strokes
better than any other competitor in
IL 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 win nine
of ten tournaments? l asked him
what he thought the answer was,
and he didn't have the answer. He
couldn't have the answer, because
he honestly doesn't believe he S
anything more than fair country
player.
"The big reason I don't win a
couple of more tournaments than
I do" Snead told me, 'is because
1 just can't keep on thinking. I'll
go along for six or seven holes hit
ting everything perfect, and then
/ sort of go to sleep and get a
couple Of double bogies on holes /
can throw the ball on the green in
two shots. I don't know why I do
this But I keep on doing it, and
it's frets me"
Well, sometime he isn't going to
have those lapses into the dream
world Sometime Samuel Jackson
Snead is going to play through a
complete tournament without a
lapse. And when he does he is going
to win by anywhere from six to
fifteen shots.
Maybe the Masters of l94l will be
the tournament. I'm betting little
on him, anyway. No one who can
beat me l8 up, after giving Tie two
strokes hole, can be too bad.

Labor Amendments To
Leuse-Lend Bill Rejected

In an effort to safeguard labor's
rights as embodied in such existing
legislation as the Wage and Hour
Law, the Labor Relations Act, the
Walsh -Healey Act and other labor
laws, President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor and
President Philip Murray of the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations
urged protection of labor legislation
and offered amendments to the lease
lend bill, H. r. 1776, which would do
So Such suggestions, however, were
turned down by both House and Sen
ate Foreign Affairs Committees which
had been conducted hearings on the
bill.
AFL President William Green
sought a provision in the law which
would have restricted "the power to
commander production by proviso
setting forth the full applicability of
the National Labor Relations Act, the
Walsh-Healey Act, the Bacon-Davis
Act, the Wage and Hour Law and
other labor legislation"
CIO President Philip Murray sug-
gested that the authority to the Pres
ident to proceed Notwithstanding the
provisions of any other law" might in
clude outstanding labor legislation if,
"in the opinion Of the President, such
legislation if enforced bars an effective
prosecution of the Presidents au-
thority under the proposed bill" Mr..
Murray posed the question whether
a court might not construe the pro-
vision Notwithstanding any other
law to the effect that the President
has the authority to set aside such ex
isting relations between management
and employees in order to effectively
prosecute the ends sought under the
bill now being considered. If this
authority is present under the bill,
labor should not be asked to rely on
the mere press statement that it IS not
intended to exercise it,"
1t is essential, asserted Mr.. Murray,
chat in connection with any legisla
ton to be initiated by Congress to
Guide the foreign affairs Of this nation
there be incorporated a fortnight and
unequivocal declaration that the poll
cies of the government must guar
antee the protection of the democratic
rights of labor and Of all the people
of the nation"
The House of Representative pass
ed the bill 260 to 165 without labor
amendments. 1t is hoped that the
Senate, which is now debating the
lease-lend proposal, will guarantee la
Dor the needed protection when it
votes the bill.
