TOLEDO, Ohio, June 17.-One
sure way of earning $50 a day and
expenses is to get an invitation
to play the Inverness four-ball,
round-robin golf tournament sched-
uled Thursday through Saturday.
That's the least you can get in this
happiest of all golf meets, and If
you're lucky enough to win, you can
boost your daily take" to almost
s2OO-plus the aforementioned ex-
penses.
It's about the only tourney In the
land for which the competitors are
guaranteed their expenses and a
part of the prize dough, even if they
finish last.
The 7-year-old fixture, offering
$1,000 in cash to the field of Is, is
shy bit of its usual color this year,
with Swash-buckling Walter Hagen,
Tommy Armour and Gene Sarazen
among the missing. But the COM
mittee in charge of invitations has
imported some new talent capable
of living up to the birdie eagle ira
ditions constructed during the last
six years.
In the field, paired as partners,
are: Byron Nelson, host pro and
National P. G. A. champion, and

Schroeder Only Clay
Court Star Facing
Big Test Today
nv the Associated Press,


CHICAGO, June 17-Seventh-
seeded Ted Schroeder of Glendale,
Calf, was one of the few star play
ers facing a serious test today in
the second round of the National
Clay Courts Tennis Tournament at
River Forest Club.
Schroeder's opponent was South
paw Seymour Greenberg of Sub
urban Evanston, two-time Big Ten
champion, rated a good chance to
win the national intercollegiate title
next week. He is a junior at North
western.
Greenberg, primarily a defensive
player, advanced along with the
favorites yesterday with 81, 81,
6-1 victory over Thane Halstead of
Wheaton. Ill. Schroeder polished
off George Toley of Los Angeles,
IS, 6t3, 6-3.
The only casualty among the
ranked players yesterday was Jack
Kramer, fifth-seeded, who lost to
William Reedy, Los Angeles, Ga,
60, 60. Kramer is entered from
Winter Park, Fla.
Top-seeded Don McNeill won three
sets with the loss of only three
games, putting the champion today
against Gerald Crowther of Her
mosa, Calf. Another featured
match sent little Bryan Grant of
Atlanta against towering Gene Mako
of Hollywood. Fourth-seeded Frank
Parker of Beverly Hills met Eddie
Alloo of Winter Park.
Pauline Betz of Los Angeles,
ranked first among the women,
easily advanced yesterday with a
straight set conquest of Marion

trant in the National P G. A. cham
pionship at Denver, starting July Z.
Mel will leave July 2 with part of
his expenses paid by the P. G. A.
Scoring a three -under-par final
round of 68 over the Lakeside Coun-
try Club course at Richmond, Mel
won one of three spots in the sec
tional qualification rounds with a
36-hole score of 73-68-141. The
other two places were won by
Chandler Harper. lanky Portsmouth
(Va) pro. and storm center of a
Mid Atlantic P G. A. upheaval last
year, with 68-70-138, and Chunky
Rut Coffey of Hagerstown, Md. with
141. Coffey became the only pro
from this sector to qualify for both
the Open and the P G. A. He won
place in the Open championship
at Columbia on May 26.

getting away with a good 70 In the

place with Ball of Charlottesville,
Va, and John Bass of Baltimore at
142. Barnett, Bass and Ball will be
alternates in case the three quail
f1ers do not go, which is unlikely.
For years Mel Shorey has been
rated one of the best putters in the
pro golf business. Mel always has
had the ability to ram home win
ming putt when needed. He proved
it again yesterday as he blazed his
way around the -fringed Lake
side course in the afternoon with
five brides, all coming from good
sized puts. Par for the course is

on a course whose fairways were
none too good. Fifteen pros entered
the tourney.

No Washington players had en-

will send over a dozen or more star
amateurs to play in the affair. Nolan

beating Spencer Overton of Rolling

were to be crowned.

match among first. teams prohlbi-
tive favorite to annex the title and
dethrone Chevy Chase, the 1910

golfing lassies had only to win a
few points at Columbia to annex
the second team championship and
wind up their most successful sea-
son. They are far out in front in
the second-team series.
Third teams also were to play to-
day, but their race is close and will
not end today. Another second
team match is scheduled June 80 at
Kenwood, but. unless miracle hap
pens and Woodmont does not clinch
the title today. that match is
formality insofar as the deciding of
the championship is concerned.
Presentation of the championship
trophies in all classes will be made

staged at the clubs of the winning
teams.
The women have decided to hold
British War Relief tournament

Back AiIment Forces
Snead From Golf
For ) Months
Lone-Hitting Virsinion
Is to Enter Hospital
For on Operation

Samuel Jackson Snead, generally
rated COLTS uncrowned pro cham
pion, will be out of the competitive
game for three months this summer
and may not be able to swing q
club again until fall.
That back ailment which has
been giving Slamming Sammy
trouble for months, has become ag-
gravated and Sam will enter a hos
pital either in Washington or Bal
timore for an operation.
Wexford Pete) Snead, older
brother of Sam. revealed that the
top links man of the Snead family
of Hot Springs, Va, has dislocated
vertebra which makes an operation
necessary. "One vertebra overlaps
another, down in the lower end of
the spine" said Pete. Whenever
Sam twists 10 hit big shot the
pain is intense. He cannot go on
playing first class golf without cor
recting the condition"
Many Pros Have Ailing Backs.
Pete is pro at the Cascades course
at Hot Springs, where Sam used TO
be assistant TO Freddie Glenn before
he became Americas No. un-
crowned champion.
Pete had just come off the golf
course after shooting 6 under
par 65. Can you lick Sam over
this course?" we asked.
He'd beat my brains out over
any course" Pete grinned. He has
more golf than any man I ever
have seen. And he's so long he
makes any course look easy"
Pete described Sans ailment as
not a sacra-iliac condition. Many
crack golfers, particularly those who
slug the ball long way, have had
sacra lilac trouble, caused by the
twisting of the upper part of the
body and the quick body turn into
the ball. Craig Wood, the new
open champ. has had back trouble.
Monro Wears Leather Support.
j. Monro Hunter, possibly the
longest hitting pro around this sec
tor, for years has worn a leather

And now it's Sam Snead. His
fellow pros won't cry because Sam
will be out of competition for a
time. For when he comes back
he'll probably be better than ever.
And maybe he can win the open
championship this time.

How We Stand In
venerea| Disease
Control is Given

Editors Note: This article was
an address given over radio station \
WJDx, Jackson, Miss, by DR.. D.
v. Galloway, Supervisor, Veneral
Disease Control State Board Of
Healtr, Jackson, October 20, 194l.
In a recent report on the first
million men in the United States
having physical examinations for
military service, the Army included
approximately 10000 men from Mis-
sissippi. Of these, 1900 white men
in Mississippi showed a syphilis in
lection rate of 3.2 per cent and ap-
proximately 5000 colored men show
ed a syphilis infection rate of 81
per cent.
Four years ago the Mississippi
State Board Of Health initiated a new
program of venereal disease control
in an effort to correct this grave
problem in Mississippi. Since that
time the number of counties in this
state which operate venereal disease
clinics has increased from 6 to 55;
the number of clinic sessions per
week has increased from IL to 81;
and the number of patients under
treatment each week has increased
from 1000 to 10000. This change
has come about since 1887. This
year in the venereal disease clinics
Of the State Board of Health APP
proximately 100000 doses of anti
syphilitic treatment will be admin
istered.
The venereal disease program is
a cooperative n between the coun-
ties cities, the State Board Of Health,
the United States Public Health Ser
vice, and the practicing physicians Of
the state. Approximately $50 private
physicians are rendering splendid
service as clinicians in these clinics.
The clinics are established wherever
the need seems to be the greatest.
Some of them are in splendid new
health c~enters, others are in little
cabins on the edge of a cotton patch,
some in schools, and some in church
es.
It is too early to expect a real
decline in the disease, syphilis, but
if the present program can be con-
tinued until clinic service is offered
in every county in the state, we will
begin to see an actual decline in this
disease. Even though the program
has not reached its fullest expansion,
thousands of people receive benefit
from it. Every week hundreds of
