its basis a statement m a d e by
Yellow Kidney, aged fullblood

of others of the Reservation. was
ambitiol.s Of being selected as a
member Of the Blackfeet delega-
ton that is leaving for Washing

fold quests in behalf of the
interests of the tribe.
Yellow Kidneys ambition
was mostly to bring back from the

Golfer Hamilton
Should Purchase
Tape Measure
BY the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, May 21,-Hard
luck tales from the PGA tourney:
Bob Hamilton of the Prince
Georges Golf and Country Club,
Landover, Md, who was on top
of the field the first day, came
up to the 18th hole yesterday
very much in the running. He
had been red hot with his short
pitches, so when he found his
drive about 20 yards from the
cup, he carefully paced off the
distance. The rule requires that
the pin must be removed on all
shots from less than that dis
tance. 1t seemed OK so Bob
Clipped up and his ball rolled in,
touching the pin as it dropped.
Just to be safe, PGA officials got
out tape and measured-the
distance was SO feet 10 inches
and Hamilton had to take a
two-stroke panelty as a result.
Jack Hall of Des Moines, Iowa,
was just about to try an 18-inch
putt on the last green for quail
flying score of l49 AS he stroked
the ball tremendous shout arose
from the gallery on the 17th
green where Skip Alexander had
just made deuce to stand 8 un-
der par. Hall dubbed his putt
and wound up in a tie for the last
qualifying spot. He lost out on
the first hole of the playoft,
which made Skip's cheer a $lOo
veil for Hall.
