Hogan, Victor at Chevy Chase,
Shortly Will Be in Service
Shoots One Under Par to Win Pro Stakes,
Poirs With KIeberq in Another Triumph

when he does American pro golf
will lose its biggest gallery attrac-
tion and possibly its longest hitter.
This little whiplash Of man, weigh
ing 140 pounds, can 60 for the long
hitting ambitions of a couple OF
hundred people who saw Banging
Ben take the Chevy Chase course
apart yesterday for one -under-par
SO to win the pro sweepstakes, with
Representative Dick Kleberg win the
pro-senior championship, and take
down all the marbles in the popu-
larity stakes. Ben was the whole
show. There were plenty Of good
golfers in the field of 70 starters.
Hogan Steals Show.
Men such as Ed "Porky" Oliver,
Dutch Harrison, Bud Lewis, Witty
Cox, Rut Coffey and Lew Worsham
aren't exactly lost balls in any links
company, but Hogan stole the show,
end put on, by way of compensa-
tion, one of the niftiest exhibitions
OF shotmaking and scoring that staid
old Chevy Chase has seen since Sam
Snead scampered around in 63
whacks last summer.
Banging the ball tremendous dis
tances over those lush Chevy Chase
fairways, Hogan outdrove Worsham
on nearly every hole. Few men can
do that, but Hogan, the human
whiplash, did it. For example, play
ing from the back tees, he used an
8 iron for his second shot on the
second hole. He smote that ball
so far on the sixth that he was
home with iron second. And
home on the sixteenth with an 8
iron second. Unfamiliarity with the
tricks and rolls of those Chevy
Chase greens cost him two or three
shots, and he underclubbed himself
on the fourteenth, taking 5 when
he popped his second shot into the
water. But mistakes through the
fairway? He just didn't make many,
and when he did he recovered. Ben
really puts on a show. More IA
miliarity with the course and he
might crack Sneads record.
Cox Finishes Second.
Hogan nosed out Witty Cox. Mary
land and Washington open champ,
by single stroke to win the pro
sweepstakes with his 68 against
WHY'S par SO. Hogans SO and Rep
resentative Klebergs IS combined
for score of 143 to win the top
award in the pro-senior. Mrs. Ho-
gan's little boy Ben had quite day.
