Plays Steadiest Golf OF
Career To Take $l0,-
600 First Prize
By WILLIAM GoBER. Jr.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. March Il
-R)-Sam Snead, playing perhaps
the steadiest golf of his career
slammed aside torrid competition
today to win the $4,000 Jackson
vile open golf tournament by four
strokes.
The long driving pro from the
Blue Ridge mountains of Virgins
had to fight soggy fairways and .
galloping Jimmy Demaret all the
way. He wound up the 72-holes
with a "a under par 264, carding
81 during the morning round ano
81 in the afternoon. Snead col.
lected $4,000.
Demaret, Of Houston, Tex, took
second place with 268 and Pete
Cooper, of Gainesville, Fla, came
in third with 271. Lawson Little,
Of Monterey, Calf, was fourth
with 274.
Demaret, the Beau Brummel Of
the touring pros, played sensation
al golf during the third round. He
racked up nine under par 63 to
set a new record for the 2,272-yard
Brentwood course.
At the half way mark Snead led
Henry Picard, of Oklahoma City,
by six strokes and Demaret Jagged
three strokes further back. With
that lead, the slammer obviously
realized that caution would pay off
better than brilliance. He studied
every shot and spent half of his
time on the green Ticking away
pine needles so his puts wouldn't
60 astray.
The Virginia strong boy started
the day by carding birdie on the
340-yard par four first hole and
another on the 351-yard par five
second, where he missed an eagle
by a turn of the ball on 30-foot
putt. From there on in he was
close to the pin on most of his
approaches, and deadly accurate on
his puts.
The last nine holes was played
in heavy rain.
Demaret stole the gallery with
his early round Of 63 which came
within stroke of equalling the all
time competitive record for an
American course. The Texan
resp1endent in a canary yellow
coat. lime green shirt, multi
colored belt, mustard colored
trousers, maroon socks and match
ing mustard saddle shoes-carded
nine brides and nine pars during
the third round. On the 402-yard
18th hole he was 10 feet from the
pin with a beautiful second shot
and sank it for birdie and
course record.

Swedish Runners Barred
From Amateur Com
petition For Life

STOCKHOLM, March 17.-R)-
Gunder Haegg, the worlds tastes
miller who twice toured the United
States in 1913 and 1915, and his
Swedish countryman, Arne Ander
son, the worlds second tastes
miller, were declared professionals
today and barred from amateur
competition for life.
In announcing the action after
a two-day secret conference on an
island in Lake Maelar, the Swedish
athletic association board did not
disclose the amount of money
Haegg and Anderson were ac-
cused of receiving for races, but a
reliable private source told the
Associated Press they acknowl-
edged receiving 10000 crowns Gap
proximately 100000 when asked
to make a report to the associa-
ton.
Gin New York, Dan Ferris, secre-
tary-treasurer of the AAU who
handled Haegg's United States
tours, said Haegg received only
one dollar day for Incidental
expenses while in the United
States, but that, Of course, the
AAU paid for his meals, hotels and
transportation.
Swedish sports writer's generally
estimated the money Haegg and
Anderson received at more than
$4,000 cronin <$18,500
The board said it found some
of the penalties against amateur
regulations 'too stern and desires
to obtain the possibility of restor-
ing amateur standings under GER
tain conditions to athletes who
have lost it" The board did not
say whether this meant it would
try to have Haegg and Anderson
reinstated in time for the 1948
Olympics at London.
The board did not Immediately
make known whether Haegg's mile
record of 4:01.4 and his 3:43 for
the 1,5o0-meters would be wiped
off the record books. Anderson
previously held the world mile
mark of 4:01.6 before Haegg bet
tered it last July after he returned
from his second American tour.
Seven other Swedish runners, but
not as internationally known as
Haegg and Anderson. were pena.

FederoIAid  City's Plan
 Sewage Treatment
 Plant Provided for
 By New Bill

Waterbury's plans for a S750,000 sewage treatment plan may receive additional impetus from the recent favorable report of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors on House Bill 6024
 The latter authorized a broad program of federal aid to cities for purposes of eliminating water pol- lution through the construction of sewage plants. Grants to cities will be up to thirty-three and one-third percent. One hundred millions per year for grants and loans are authorized by the bill.
 Waterbury's sewage plant plans cost of which may attain $l,000,0 ,000, are set up within the City Plan Commissions 6-year plan. Con- struction is not scheduled to begin until l943 and to be completed in lS49 It Is first necessary to con- struct the new Mad River intercep- tor which will be built as far as Silver Street. The interceptor will cost $800,000 and now is in the preliminary stages of construction.
