Club States
Desert Tourney

The first Barbara Worth Desert
Golf Championship will get under
way this week end at the country
club, Jack McLaren, club pro, an
nounced, and an even larger field
than the valley championship
which ended Sunday, is expected.
"All golfers are invited to enter
the tournament" McLaren said
"and we're issuing a special invita-
tion to servicemen and women, who
supported our last tourney SO well.
QUALIFYING DATE
Qualifying will start Saturday
and continue through Wednesday
The Calcutta will be held at 10
O'Clock next Wednesday night, en-
completion of the qualifying and
pairings.
The match play will be on con-
secutive days in this tournament,
McLaren said, running Thursday
through Sunday, March l through
March 4. In this way the golfers
will not have that let-down during
the week when there are no matches
scheduled.
The recent winner of the Impe-
rial Valley Championship, Vic Bla-
lack, again will be favorite in this
tourney, as will Jerry Birchfield,
runner-up.
WOMEN'S FLIGHT
McLaren hopes to have wom-
ems flight, with the players handi-
capped as in the last tournament.
The women's bracket proved so
popular last time it is expected even
more may enter this one.
The Desert Championship is to
be an annual tournament, McLaren
said, and a trophy has been donated
by Martin G. Wahl, which will be
retired eventually by player Win
ming the title a certain number OF
years

VIA Hints Change
In Crop Prices

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. (UP) -
The War Food Administration made
public Tuesday new price support
program which may set the pattern
for the governments future policies
in controlling farm production
The program announced applies to
dry peas, minor crop. Nevertheless,
VIA officials explained the basic
principles may be applied later to
other food and fiber crops on which
farmers have been guaranteed a
specific price level for the rest of the
war and two years thereafter.
Under the new program, VIA will
support the price of only that part
of the 1914 dry pea crop that is
produced on acreage allotted under
the 1945 goals. All produced on
acreage in excess of the goals must
be sold at whatever price the in
dividual farmer can command.
At the same time the support
price was cut from $5.65 last year
to $3.50 per 100 pounds this year.

Padres Expected
In E. f. Monday
To Open Training

Ell Centre stadium is in tip-top
shape awaiting arrival Monday of
the San Diego Padres opening of
spring practice. No recent word has
been received as to practice plans
of the Coast league team now un-
der command of Pepper Martin,
City Councilman Robert w. Hatton,
who fathers" baseball for the city,
said Tuesday as far as he has been
advised the original plans have not
been changed.
At Barbara Worth hotel, where
reservations have been made to
house the players, arrangements
were ready to accommodate the
men starting Monday.
The exact stay in Ell Centro has
not been determined inasmuch as
it was announced recently that the
practice period may be shortened
to enable the players to arrange
for housing in San Diego for the
season.

Hay Harvesters'
SHORTAGE Seen

Ashortage of fully 1000 men Is
visioned for the coming hay har-
vesting season, by G.. w Garrigues,
director of the local Farm Labor
Board. The anticipated shortage
applies to this area, which will re-
quire the services of approximately
5000 harvesters, of which, it was
pointed out, only about 1000 will be
available.
This will result in inexperienced
men being used and which will tend
to prolong the harvesting season,
it was stated.
At the present time there is no
marked shortage in the dairy field
in this district, Garrigues said, but
there will be an acute shortage of
dairy hands, particularly mixers, in
the event workers of military age are
called. They are now in the deferr-
ed class.

Snead Wins Title
And Acclaim as
Fine Sportsman

GULFPORT, Miss Feb. 20. (UP)
EX-Serviceman Sammy Snea d
tucked away first prize in the Gulf
port open golf tournament Tuesday,
but the acclaim he won as sports
man in the 91-hole marathon will
live long after the title.
Snead won the hard way Monday
on the 10Th hole of a playoff with
Byron Nelson, the greatest money
player in the business. Victory
came for Snead the way it usually
comes for Nelson. The players were
tied with cards of II each at the
end of 18 holes and the match went
into sudden death" stage with
first money of S1333.33 going to the
first player to win hole.
AS the players returned to the
first tee Nelson's drive landed in a
ditch. His second shot crossed the
fairway and hit another ditch. He
was on the green in four and sim
gle-putted for five. Snead, hitting
them straight to the pin, kept out
of trouble and hcled his putt for
four-and the match.
Then as the crowd surged in to
congratulate the champion, his
golfing partner of the day before,
Sammy Byrd of Detroit, revealed
the sportsmanship incident.
Snead, he said, could have won
the match in the regulation distance
of 70 holes, had he not called a
penalty stroke on himself on the
18th hole when the ball moved al
most imperceptibly as he addressed
it. Byrd and none of the officials
noticed it, but Snead did and added
the stroke which kept him from
winning without playoff.

Bid Welcome

San Diego the same fire that brouShf
him fame in the nationals. Any
thing can happen with Martin on
deck.
The city is throwing . dinner fol
Martin with Connie Mack, veteran
manager of the Philadelphia Ath-.
letics, as guest of honor.
Martin, who is sometimes KNOWN
as the wild horse OF the osage'
represents one of the most colorfui
names in American baseball. he s
tried almost everything else IN the
way of sports, too
one day in st. Louis, Martln
paid $1,000 for a midget racing car
Nobody thought much about 1t, as
suming he would hire a drlverS a
few days later Sam Breadon, man
ager of the Cards, was Watching
the racing when he saw Martin HIM
self driving in the midst OF group
of speeding autos. He was shouting
and Whooping crafty as he careen-
ed off the turns.
He drove on two wheels through
pack of other cars screaming
Look out, cowboys, here I come. .
That ended his career as a race
driver.
During one years off months, Boss
Breadon picked up a newspaper 10
discover Martin was star halt :
back" on a pro football team. The
article describing him as "a crash
ing, smashing, ripping, tearing ball
carrier" credited with winning a
game with two sensational touch
downs.
That was his first and last game
"Shucks, they won't let me have
any fun" Martin moaned. soon
folks will think L ma sissy"
When the Cards were travelling
Martin used to amuse himself bS
dropping sacks Of water from hote
windows on passersby.
Whether or not Martin will be
able to pour enough chilli into thy
San Diego Padres to whip them into
ball team, is something no one
can tell yet. But in any event, the
Pacific Coast league is certainly
gaining something.

BLAST TO RACING

Before Mondays announcement
of the curfew. hope had been in
creacing among racing men that the
Christmas-Eve ban might be lifted
by spring, permitting the hoSses to
60 into their golden gallop again.
But the war situation neceSsitating
the curfew seems TO blast that hope
definitely.
1t is true that the curfeW was re-
quested primarily as a means of
saving fuel, because of the coal
shortage; but Byrnes said he be-
lieves it also would help conserve
transportation and manpower He
said he was convinced that the pub
lie will gladly accept the curfew
in view of the fact that in the Pc
ricd just ahead of us, those in the
armed services will be making
greater sacrifices than ever be-
fore"
Last week, after returning from
the Crimea conference, Byrnes said
that more men will be in combat
during March than ever before.
These statements, combined with
the drastic curfew measure, leave
little hope of reopening the tracks
until the European war is ended,
at least. Because, apparently, the
momentum Of war will be constant
ly stepped up until that goal is
achieved.
Betting has increased tremen-
dously during the past 10 years, and
particularly during the war. 1t
seems certain that much money
which ordinarily would be spent

able now for sports; and (2) per-
sons who are denied late entertain
ment may turn to sports for diver
sion.
Although there is little similarity
between the curfew and prohibi-
ton, which was supposed to prevail
in the United States from 1920 to
1888, it is recalled that the golden
decade" of sports came during that
dry" period. Speakeasies flour
ished during that decade; but ney-
ertheless it was much more diff
cult for the ordinary fan to blow
his dough in the Joints" than it
has been since repeal. The plenti-
tude of money available for sports
in these days was just as important
in causing the golden decade as
were the great performers who fea-
tured it-Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth,
Bobby Jones, Bill Tilden, Earl
Sande, etc.

Sports World

in the late spots, will be diverted
now into betting channels, booming
the bookie business throughout the
country. Although the horse plants
are closed, the public is wagering
actively on other sports. Baseball
will get terrific betting play when
the season opens.
We know of no reason why mid
night closing should curtail night
baseball, boxing, etc. Rarely have
regularly scheduled night games
lasted past midnight; and prcfes-
sional boxing shows never do.
