THE INSIDE STORY: One OF the
most important institutions for
which the taxpayers are paying is
Receiving hospital, yet few people
ever give thought to its admin
istrauon. For instance, one Of the
top men in the administrative setup
hospital was recently released to
take a job in the navy and his place
must be filed. Vieing for the job
are as many as three men who have
been with the institution for
period Of years. but whose records,
according to information. do not in
cate that they would be the best
men for the position. One Of these
doctors is the same who was report
ed by this reporter few weeks ago
as the man who made the boast that
81 take care of as many as twenty
patients in five minutes" The
others vieing for the position are
o. the same brand and the interest
ing part about the whole thing is
that the connivin7 Of each may re-
suit in the failure of either to fill
the vacant position.
. Meanwhile, reports continue to
come in that corruption is still rife

Pros Promise
ToHoIe0utP Puts
In Exhibition
BY NJ. r. DRUKENBRoD

The four professional stars who
will compete in Sunday afternoon S
golf match at the Detroit Country
Club for the Army and Navy Rec
reation League have made con-
ceSsion TO Mrs. William l. Nc
Giverin. president of the Women's
District Golf Association.
They have consented to hole out
all puts and play the full Is, no
matter where the match officially
ends. A best ball event sponsored
by the Women's District. Walter
Hagen and Jimmy Demaret will
oppose Joe Before and Al Wat
rous.
OF course, some OF the tiniest
puts, those of a few inches or
so. which you would give TO even
your most bitter rival. may be
conceded. But anything more than
that-well. nothing doing.
CERTAIN TO PLEASE
This will please a certain mem
Der of the Detroit Country Club,
who was quite peeved when he
learned of the scores so generously
passed out in the match at this
club last season. in which Byron
Nelson and Craig Wood defeated
Ben Hogan and Demaret for the
worlds best ball championship.
Through no fault of the players,
once a hole was won or tied, every
ball on the green. even if as much
as 20 feet away. promptly was
knocked away and counted in.
Even the official scorer couldn't be
blamed, because, as he put il, a
fellow couldn't be charged with
missing putt he never had a
crack at.
AS a result, the scoring probably
set a record for a match on a
course as testing as this one. Two
of the players were credited with
65's newspaper scores. they're
called-while the highest of the
four players for the two rounds
was 70-two under a difficult par.
One of the 65's went to a player
who didn't hole out on six holes.
For the new plan to work out
satisfactorily Sunday, the specta-
tors will have TO cooperate and
wait until all four have holed out
on every green. 1t won't be fair,
for instance, 10 expect a player to
try for even a two or three-footer
with everybody rushing for the
next tee.
The match will start at 2:30
o'clock. Tickets are $1.l0 and
parking will be free.
