|Worsham Picks Up
In Crosby Golf
By the Assoeiofsd Press

DEL MONTE, Calf, Jan. Ia
Stylish little Lloyd Mangrum today
pocketed $2,533 and the professional
golf championship in the 1948 Bine
Crosby tournament.
Most Of the touring professionals
headed today for Richmond, Calf.
and the $4,000 tournament that will
be played over 72 holes starting
Thursday. One notable exception
however, was Ben Hogan, who gave
press of undisclosed business In
Southern California as his reason.
Unique in its progress, the 54-hole
Crosby tournament was played over
three different courses here on sue
cessive days. Mangrum dubbed each
one into submission, chalking up 1O
under par for the three rounds, and
a total Of 205. He shot the par "a
Cypress Point course in 70; the par
II Monterey Peninsula layout in ST.
and the famed par u Pebble Beach
test in 68.
Stan Leonard of Vancouver
British Columbia, grabbed the sec
ond spot with a 2l0. It was worth
81 $50 to the Canadian.
The Pebble Beach course was too
much for National Open Champion
Lew Worsham and three Middle
Atlantic golf pros, as none of them
broke 80 on the final round.
Worsham finally picked up on the
back nine when headed for a score
in the low 80s and with partner Del
Webb posted a 78 for 221 in the pro-
amateur competition. Worsham
previously shot a pair of TBS.
Although Chandler Harper OF
Portsmouth, Va, was out of the
money in the pro division with
80-222, he won $3.50 for a 1879 pro-am
score with Norman Keeley as a
partner. Defending pro-am cham
pions Sam Snead and Roger Kelly
in the best ball play were out OF
the money with 2o7, while Snead
finished 80-225. Otto Greiner OF
Baltimore went from 66 to 81 fol-
224 and With Carl Cope had a best
ball 214.
Third place among his fellow pro-
fessionals was Hogan. His medal
score was 211, but he teamed with
Johnny Dawson Of Los Angeles to
win the pro-amateur best ball COM
petition with low of 1877.
Bobby Locke Fourth.
Pressing Hogan but a stroke be-
hind to take fourth position money
was Bobby Locke, knicker- wearing
invader from johannesburg, South
Africa, who finished with 212. 1t
was worth 1898 to him.
The rest of the field didn't even
come close, four strokes separat-
ing fourth place Locke and the
next in line. Jimmy Demaret OF
Ojai, Calf, top money getter in
1947, trailed with weak 217, q
1925 effort.
National PGA title holder Jim
Ferrier of San Francisco had last
round blow-up and posted a 81
hole total of 219, a stroke worse
than Martin Pose, who paced two
fellow Argentinians with his 218.
Hogan and Dawson won the pro-
amateur laurels with their 1877
Mangrum and Bob SINNERS Of Los
Angeles were second with 1919 and

cannot continue TO produce average

With good production practices,
however, many farmers are able to
more than double the average yield
per acre and realize a large profit.
Mr.. Brasher pointed out at the re-
