slice or a dubbed shot figured TO
make the pursued the pursuer.
The golfing fraternity greeted
the Ridgemoor course with varying
degrees OF delight. The fairways
are being taken in stride by the
hale American field. but the greens
are something different. Drives OF
$50 and 800 yards are the usual
thing. but two-and-three-putt greens
are definitely unusual happenings
for Hogan, Nelson, Mangrum and
their associates in the professional
world.
A matter OF ten yards makes lit
tie difference in the relative merits
OF golfers, so long as those yards
represent fairways, but when
they're on the green's things begin
to happen.
When Lloyd Mangrum carded a
80 on the first nine yesterday he
reached this figure despite a three
putt Job on the greens. Hogan is
another ordinarily stand-out golfer
who finds the greens a threat to his
chances OF adding the first price OF
s1.100 in the Hale America to his
winnings.

Hunger Striker

By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, May 22.-Two con-
victed bank robbers, one of whom
had gone on hunger strike, were
taken to the Federal Penitentiary
at Atlanta yesterday after Warden
Charles P. Price of the Baltimore
City Jail had asked Federal Off
cials to intervene.
The two prisoners, William Leo
Keefe and Hilliard Sanders, SEN
fenced last January to 20 years
each for the s52,60O armed robbery
of two Hyattsville (Md0 bank mes
sengers, were taken to Atlanta in
custody of three deputy United
States marshals.
When District Attorney Bernard
j. Flynn refused to let the men see
any lawyer except their attorney OF
record, Keefe went on a hunger
strike. He quit eating last Thurs
day and on Sunday DR.. Thomas
White, Jail physician, found it nee
essary to give him an injection OF
a saline solution.
Mr.. Price then asked Federal
prison officials to take a hand. A
Federal prison physician examined
Keefe and found him in good con-
dition. This week Keefe and San
ders were allowed to leave their
separate cells and 60 to the mess
hall after other prisoners had left,
but Keefe only toyed with his food
