against the use of foreign-made
rifles and shotguns brought to this
country by men returning from for
eign service in our armed forces.
Even pistols are not excluded. Maj.
Gen. Julian S. Hatcher, former
small-bore ordnance expert of the
Army, present head of the techni-
cal division of the NRA and one of
the worlds outstanding authorities
on both domestic and foreign small
arms, urges all of us to be sure OF
our gum pistol and ammunition be-
fore considering using it for more
than a souvenir.
For instance, great care should be
exercised with any .Nipponese gun
or pistol. The Japs took to casting
rifles during the war, and while
older, carefully made guns are safe
with the right ammunition (which,
by the way, cannot be obtained in
this country, the latest ones are

"a pistol is one of the worst designed
guns ever manufactured, according
to Gen. Hatcher. Once it is cooked
it can be fired without pulling the
trigger. 1t can go off if its owner
just happens to lay it down on its
left side, or brush against it. 1t is
good for nothing but a souvenir.
Then there is the converted Italian
service rifle, which, according to
Gen. Hatcher, is undoubtedly the
worst of the worlds service rifles for
conversion to modern high-pressure
cartridges and dangerous to use
with them. Drop a line to the

District Linkswomen
Routed in PIayoff
With Baltimore

The District women's intercity
golf team, which was willing to set
tie for a draw for the season with
Baltimore after squaring the series
last week, never should have agreed
to playoff match-it turned out
yesterday at Suburban.
The Washingtonians scored five
points out of possible six in the
last two matches to avert an utter
rout and pull the score to a re-
spectacle Ill, but by that time
Baltimore had more than enough
points to clinch the intercity series,
two matches to one and 20 points
to Is.
The system of pairing the top
players with higher handicapped
team members that accounted for a
14-4 triumph last week at Chevy
Chase did not pay off yesterday for
Mrs. Landra Platt's District aggre-
cation. The only winners were Mrs.
Hugh Nicholson and Mrs. D. H. Hen
derson and the duo of Mrs. L. G..
Pray and Mrs. Rex Howard.

Snead said here yesterday, 1--WE
been trained one way and can't
change n
snead was referring to his putting
after the first round of the $4,000
Richmond Open golf tournament,
and whenever the Hot Springs slug
ger makes reference to his putting
he's in an ugly mood. He had just
finished a practically perfect tee
to-green round Of golf over the
Hermitage course but couldn't do
better than an even par u because
his putting faults included four puts
on the eighth hole and three puts
from nowhere on the 18th.
The British Open champion and
gallery favorite at Richmond, as he
Is most everywhere on the pro golf
circuit, finished his round before !
o'clock, but it was after 5 and grow
i ing dark before he left the practice
green. But the four hours he spent
there hardly could have been ben
efcial.
Sam Tries Nine Putters.
Snead went to the trunk of his
car and hauled out nine putters, all
blade weapons of some sort, and
| he'd use one for while, slam it
down and pick up another. This
department watched him miss seven
straight 3-foot putts-and that's on
the practice green.
Sammy would corner every famil-
lar face that passed the green and
ask the particular pro, What's
wrong?" He had half dozen put
ting clinics throughout the after
noon. Dick Metz Jim Ferrier, Clay
ton Haefner, Bobby Cruickshank
and others stopped and gave him
their version of his troubles.
IF had even putted like a duffer
today I would have been 64.' Snead
moaned, "but I was worse than
that" Chandler Harper. one Of his
playing partners, was in complete
agreement.
Just before dark Snead handed six
of the nine putters to his wife and
headed for the locker room with the
other three. 1--WE got one for the
Hooters, one for the 6-footers and
one for the little Ones" he said. But
the mystery of why the worlds
greatest SHOEMAKER can't putt re-
mains unsolved.
The bulky field of 1853 headed into
the second round of the four-day
event today with Herman Keiser the
leader with 3-under-par So. For
the second straight year the deceiv-
ing Hermitage course, with its tricky
greens, refused to let anybody get
real hot and only six players broke
par. Keiser won the last stop on the
tour, at Knoxville, and continued to
play his best golf since winning the
Masters.
