Evansville, Ind. the first pro
eyer to win the National PGA

tempt, will be a steady diet OF
practice of between five and
eight hours a day from yeSter-
day through next Wednesday.
Practice, including playing the
course and hitting an extra shot
where one doesn't suit.
Hamilton was accompanied by
his wife and Eric Monti, 29-year-
old Illinois professional, who
broke even Oh his first trip
around the winter circuit.
Both Hamilton and Monti hit
a few bags of practice balls In
the morning. played the back
nine with Host Pro AL Houghton,
hit several hundred additional
shots after lunch, then played
the front nine.
Hamilton explained that he is
not a practice fanatic, but prac-
tices just enough to keep his
touch. Thirty minutes warmup
is all need before tournament
round" Bob said. He does not
subscribe to the theory of prac-
ticing hours before or after
tournament round. you don't
see a pitcher go out and pitch
the equivalent of a nine-inning
game on the day he pitches"
Hamilton said, "he just loosens
up. That's all most of us do"
The winner of the Charlotte
Open in 1916 and the New Or
leans Open in February, both
$4,000 tournaments, agreed that
arriving at a tournament scene
almost 10 days in advance and

BURGLARS Get.
$4,000 LOOT AT.
MAYTAG STORE.
Escape With Heavy Safe,
Cash, Checks and Three
TeleviSiOn Sets

Crime detection experts from the
London Prison Farm We're called
here Monday to assist local police
in attempting to solve the $4,000
burglary of the Northern Ohio
Maytag company store, East Sec
ond street, sometime early Sunday.
Police know that TWO men, and
possibly a third, participated in
the burglary. Admission was
gained by breaking small window
through which one of the burglars
evidently crawled and later open
ed a rear door to admit his part
nerS.
Two other small window panes
were broken by the burglars be-
fore they found one suitable for
entrance. One window pane brok-
en- was barred from the inside by
a work bench, while the second
was higher from the ground.
Stolen from the well-known
store were the company's safe,
containing about $500 in cash and
checks, $3.50 in sales tax stamps,
and company records; three tele-
vision sets valued at 1915 each, and
portable radio valued at $3.50.
Fortunately, the company has
duplicate records of the charge ac-
counts which We're in the safe.
| Discovery of the burglary was
made by owner Cliff Stephenson,
who noticed the broken windows as
he drove by the store at 8 a. m,
Sunday. Cliff and his son, Max,
had planned to go on a fishing trip
early Sunday, but the burglars
changed their plans.
Police determined that one of
the burglars wore canvas gloves
and that another wore leather
Lgloves. Shreds of clothing found
on glass splinters were retained
by the crime experts, as were blood
samples taken from spots found
near the broken glass.
The safe and radio sets were
carried from the office through
the rear Of the store building and
out the rear door. AS the safe
! was heavy, it was thought that al
least three men were involved.

Get The Wheat

A huge flock Of wild ducks,
estimated at over 5000, is being
watched by local game wardens
to protect the mallards and
black duck from over-eager
hunters. The ducks spend the

Point, and each evening, fly in
to shore to pick up wheat left
after combines had threshed the
grain.

Wilson and Ottawa county game
warden Laurel Van Camp are
