PGA Scored Bitterly
As Frisco Cancels
Annual Tourney
~ the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. l3.-San
Franciscos 18th annual open golf
tournament, one of the major events
of the winter circuit, has been
Cancelled by the Junior Chamber Of
Commerce, whose announcement
criticized bitterly the National Pro-
fessional Golfers Association as q
commercialized. money-avid organ
ization.
Bel Brown, president Of the Junior
chamber which has sponsored the
meet in previous years, said yester-
day the decision was reached after
the PGA had refused to accept the
requested dates for the tourney and
insisted on a minimum purse of
$4,000.
"The sole aim of the PGA is not
the promotion of golf but the making
Of quick money for It's touring mem
bers," he declared.
Is Second Cancellation.
San Francisco's cancellation is the
second in the Bay area. Oakland
recently abandoned its winter open
tournament because of inability to
raise the required guarantee. Both
have consistently attracted golfdoms
brightest stars.
The junior chambers announce
ment said, In part: THE PGA pros
constitute show. People pay
money to see the golfers perform.
But, unlike any show on earth, it
doesn't give a damn about the gate.
1t doesn't have to. Its payoff is
guaranteed and in the bank before
1t will even consider appearing.
This show has no advance man,
no publicity program, no paid ad-
vertising program. Photographs of
Its players are unavailable and local
sponsors get no material the sports
editors might use in publicizing 1t.
Even the names of the players en-
tering the meets are unknown until
several days before the show goes
on, SO appearances cannot be guar
anteed.
Has No Sugar Daddy.
The original concept of tourna-
ment golf-to interest the public
in playing the game-has been
ruthlessly discarded by the PGA.
The sugar daddy type of sponsor
has entered the field. San
Francisco, sans respectable purse
and with no sugar daddy will have
no open tournament.
Our guess is that We'll survive.
"The San Francisco Open has
been a losing deal since its
inception, because of poor attend
ance, and the chief reason is the
total inability of the PGA Tourna-
ment Bureau to cooperate in any
fashion, thus making good planning
and efficient management very diff
cult"

U. S. THIRD FLEET HITS

Radio BIa6kout Suggests Joint Attack Following
 Previous Assaults

PEARL HARBOR, Jan. 5. = The crushing might of the United States Third Fleet aircraft carriers, whose deep penetration into enemy waters has given Japan warning of major war developments, may have fallen for the third straight day on For mosa and Ryukuys.
 An ominous radio blackout by the fleet strongly suggests the possibility of hitting the two strongholds at once, indicating even greater strik- ing power than was loosed on separ- ate days against the same targets last October
 A carrier plane force struck Tues day and Wednesday (U. s. date) for sure. That much, but little more, was confirmed yesterday by Admiral Chester Nimitz in his communique which said that details are mot yet available"
 The Tokyo radio reported that 800 Hellcats, Helldivers and Avengers hit Formosa and Okinawa for near ly seven hours the first day and, the enemy said, 400 returned for another seven hours the second day.
