'Pro-Am Golf Serves
As Denver Tuneup
For $4,000 Open
By the Assoeioted Press

DENVER, Sept. 3.-The Nations
leading pros, who still haven't re-
covered from shock of nine years
ago, practiced with pro-amateur
meet today over the tricky Cherry
Hills Country Club course for the
$4,000 Denver Open golf tourna-
ment which starts tomorrow.
Back in 1888, the pros took a
quick look at the layout and pre-
dicted 276 or better-12 under par
would win the National Open held
there. Ralph Guldahl plugged along
the narrow, winding fairways and
the well-trapped greens to come up
with a 284 total that won the title.
In 1941, they tried Cherry Hills
again, this time in the PGA. Byron
Nelson was a prohibitive favorite.
He reached the final, but Vic Ghezzi
matched him hole for hole for 81
holes, then beat him on the 3Sth
green.
Most of the swing kings who ride
the professional circuit, came here
from Salt Lake City where Johnny
Palmer Of Badin, N. c., shot a 270
to win the Western Open.
They don't think anybody will
come up with that kind of golf dur
ing the next four days. Too many
remember the good scores that were
ruined on the 'killer finish," in
cluding a green surrounded by wa
ter and the 18th hole winding on a
sloping hillside along a lake to a
high green.
Among those expected to come
closest are Palmer; Lew Worsham
National Open champ; Ghezzi, who
knows the rough spots; Benny
Hogan, Sam Snead, If he can con-
troll his putter; Bobby Locke, the
South African money winner; Ed
(Porky) Oliver, Lloyd Mangrum,
Ellsworth Vines and Chick Harbert.
But few of the boys are going on
record this time. They'll just wait
and see.

Elmer Richter Not Guilty
On Yacht Registry Charge

Elmer F. Richter, chairman of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee of
the Washington Board of Trade, was
found not guilty in Municipal Court
yesterday of violating police regula-
tions by failing to register his 73-
foot cruiser "Acushnet" as a t'regu-
lar" harbor occupant subject to
District taxes.
The 42-year-old yachtsman went
on trial November Is when police
charged that after nearly six
months at the same mooring space
in the 500 block OF Maine avenue
S.W,, he had failed to change his
registration to q regular berth
status.
Mr.. Richter, who pleaded his own
case, contended he registered the
"Acushnet" as a visitor" when the
yacht docked here last May, because
he planned to keep it here only until
essential repairs had been made.
Judge George D. Nelson, who an
nounced his decision in a memoran-
dunn opinion yesterday, said the
only evidence" before him was Mr..
Richter's original intention as ex-
pressed at the time of his arrival
here. The nature of the "Acush-
nets" visit. he added, seems ITEM
porary in purpose"
