Sharp Reduction

Price Administrator Leon Hender-

PECULIAR PATTERN

Realization of the peculiar pat
tern of the senior league circuit
chase becomes more acute in COM
parison with the American league
standings. There, the Yankees have
won fewer games than the Brook
lyns and yet what would have hap
pened to the Dodgers if they had
won just a few less games: the
Cards would be on top of them and
last years ding-dong battle would
be repeated.
AS it is, the Cardinals are far
from out of it even though they
are 6i2 games behind. The Red
Birds have more hitting power than
the Dodgers. They have made more

ENOUGH EQUIPMENT?

We asked Corcoran: In view OF
the rubber and steel shortage, is
there enough equipment for golf
to be carried on in big-time fashion
for the rest of 1912?
Corcoran replied that PGA eX-
perts had estimated there was
enough equipment on hand to last
not only 1912 but also next year, II
used carefully. He explained that
there was a decrease of about 40
per cent in play in the east be-
cause of gas rationing, and that
most players were following the eX-.
ample of top-flight professionals in
using only two balls for round -
instead of six as formerly. Some
pros, he said, insist upon using only
one ball for 10 holes.

lNE4" IoiNiN, mug va
If you're interested in golf, you'll
doubtless get a kick out of learning
that Argentina, that completely
neutral" Latin American power,
assured the United States profess
sional golfers association only yes
terday that arrangements could be
made-despite the WARRIOR four big
time u. S. linksmen to fly to BuenoS
Aires to compete in the Argentine
open and rs exhibition matches.
Moreover. because of our good
neighbor policy, it is virtually as
sured now that four prominent u.
S. professionals, accompanied by
Ed Dudley, president of the PGA,
will grab a plane from Miami, Fla.
on Oct. 8, and remain in the Argen-
tine at least five weeks.
ORIGINAL TOUR
The original quartet invited were
Jimmy Demaret of Detroit, who
went to Argentina last year with
Sam Snead and won the Argentine
open crown; Lawson Little; Ben
Hogan and Craig Wood Demaret
and Wood have accepted the invi-
tation. Hogan is trying to arrange
his affairs SO that he can make
the trip. But Little will be unable
to head south because his wife is
expecting little divot digger. Byron
Nelson of Toledo, o., may go in
Little's place.
If Hogan of Hershey, Pa, flies
to the Argentine, he is certain TO
fool q lot of experts in that coun-
try where SO much neutral emphasis
is placed upon beef. Little Ben is
completely lacking in beef. He is
the leading money-w winner OF l942,
with $l3,l43, after winning the Hale
America, Los Angeles North and
South, AShville, N. c., and Roches-
ter N. Y. opens, and finishing in
the money in several other tourna-
ments.
According to Freddie Corcoran,
PGA tournament manager, one OF
the questions most often asked OF
his headquarters is this. How much
does Hogan weigh? The answer is
1877 pounds Another lnSlStent
question is How tall is Sam Snead
And Corcoran's answer is-just a

Argentina last year, but Slammin

man. stationed at the Norfolk, Va.
naval base. In recent letter Snead
| informed Corcoran that he never
again would object to being among
the Dawn Patrol or 9 a. m. start
ers in any tournament, because his
current day begins at Ais a. m. In
the old days Sailor Snead was a
bit choosey-like most prominent
pros-about his starting time. He
wanted to move off sort of midway
between the Dawn Patrol" and
Heel Time" The latter time di-
vision takes in the late tee-offers
who move over course after the
putting green's ere cuppy from the
heels of the contestants who have
marched over them earlier in the
day.
Speaking of war and golf, tourn-
/ ament manager Corcoran said, "Oul
tournament season is practically
completed now, although we are
getting bids for one or two late
tournaments in California. However
we are negotiating now for a ma
tional exhibition tour, to start ir

Corporal Lockner, who was stationed

Lockner had been transferred to one

A letter is following the Geographic

Corporal LOckner is the second

merchant marine killed. Two marines
and four members of the army are
listed as missing in action in the
Philippines, but they may be war
prisoners.
Two brothers of Corporal Lockner
are in the army. They are Pvt. Joe F.
Lockner, an infantryman stationed in
Massachusetts,, and Corp. John M.
Lockner, air ferry squadron mechanic
stationed in Romulus, Mich.
Corporal Lockner was indicted from
the Hibbing Chisholm draft district
in the spring of 1941. After being
stationed at Fort Claiborne, La, where
he received his training, Lockner was
returned to civilian life along with
other 28-year-old army men, arriving
in Ely for Thanksgiving. He then re-
turned to his job on a farm near
Greaney, Mimi, which he had left
to enter the army.
Lockner was called back into SER
vice JAN % of this year, after the
28-year regulation had been discarded.
He was again sent to Camp Claiborne,
then to the West coast, and this sum-
mer was a member of the contingent
landed on New Caledonia as the U.
S. army took over this Pacific island.
He wrote regularly to his sister
here, the last letter received from
him being postmarked Oct. 2.
