Los Angeles Open
Dv ne Assosiotsd Prsss

LOS ANGELES, Jan. s.-Paced
by Jack Harden, q sS-year-old pro-
fessional and ex-Army sergeant
from FL Paso, and with such IA
vorites as Ben Hogan and Bobby
Locke within striking range, the
22d annual 10000 Los Angeles
Open golf tournament swung into
the second round today at Riviera
Country Club.
The surprising Harden. nonwin-
ner Of major tournament in his
10 years in golf. pulled the peren-
NAL darkhorse feat in grabbing the
spotlight in the first round with
nicely matched nine-hole scores
Of 33-34-67- four shots under par
35-36I7l.
Still another unknown, Bill Spill
er, former Los Angeles redcap,
startled the record opening day
gallery of $500 with 36-32-68,
and then Hogan, last years winner,
came In with the same card.
Locke Shoots q 10.
Locke and former United States
National Open Champion Lloyd
Mangrum of Los Angeles, next to
last to go out, managed to finish
the round before darkness closed
in, both shooting 70s, one stroke
behind Vic Ghezzi of Kansas City,
Kans., who won the Los Angeles
fixture in 1885 In playoff with
Johnny Revolta.
Two threats, Sam Snead Of Hot
Springs, Va, and ex-PGA title
holder Bob Hamilton Of Evans
vile, Ind, gave up the ghost at the
18th hole and were slated to COM
plete the round today.
Even with par in the first round
were Jimmy Demaret, Ellsworth
Vines and Ed Furgol.
Rated back of the leaders were
such tournament names as National
Open King Lew Worsham, Amateur
Bruce Mccormick, Johnny Palmer,
and PGA Champion Jim Ferrier, all
in the 72 bracket, and others.
Argentine Ace Gets 10.
OF the foreign threats, aside from
Locke, Roberto de VincenZo Of Ar
gentina, at u. and Australia's Nor
man Won Nida, at 73, appeared to be
the best. Martin Pose Of Argentina
fell back with q 10.
A year ago Hogan in the first
round shot a TO, one stroke behind
the leaders, Amateur Bud Ward
and Pro Toney Penna. Hogan
moved into the front In the second
round and never relinquished 1t,
capturing the event for the second
time in his career.
Locke, however, was not in this
country at the time, and 1t wasn't
until later that he began his on
slaught on Americas golf money
and went on to earn tournament
purses amounting to s24, 4,32750, sec
pnd only to Jimmy Demaret's
$27 1868.

Di Maggie Is Reported
Seeking $4,000 in
Yankee Pay Talks
By me Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The New
York Yankees and Joe Di Maggie
have opened negotiations on the
salary the star outflelder is to re-
ceive for the 1948 season.
But Just how far apart they are
at this point can only be a matter
Of conjecture. Both parties have
agreed to maintain a strict. silence
until a final agreement is reached,
Club Secretary Arthur (Red) Pat
terson said yesterday. .e---e
Patterson admitted negotiations
were, under way in replying, in a
statement from the Yankee offices,
to a report that Di Maggie was de-
manding $4,000 for his 1948 con-
tract.
No Publicity on Details.
"The Yankees" the statement said,
"do not deny that they have entered
into. contract negotiations with Di
Maggie and others. 1t has been
mutually agreed by Di Maggie and
General Manager George Weiss that
no publicity will be given on any
details. The Yankees, therefore,
have no comment to make on re-
ports mentioning specific salary
terms.
Contracts are being forwarded to
some players on the Yankee squad.
Others, who plan visits to New York,
will discuss terms personally with
the general manager"
Di Maggie, winner Of the Ameri-
can Leagues most valuable player
award for 1947, is in town for the
holidays. He concurred in the an
nouncement that his negotiations
with the club would be conducted in
secrecy. When he accepts terms, the
club will make the announcement.
Received $4,000 in 1947.
Most baseball men believe the big
fellow will be satisfied If he can get
somewhere close to $4,000. He re-
ceived $42, 900 last season.
At the same time the contract
statement was issued, the Yankees
denied a report that Edward G.
Barrow, who directed the club dur
ing the Rupert regime, was return
ing to serve in an executive capacity.
Barrow retired as president when
the Larry MacPhail syndicate pur-
chased the organization three years
ago.

the Nations first plan for regional

Each State to Contribute.
Each State would help foot the
bill for the regional schools and
each State would be assigned a
specific quota OF students. The idea
is for all States to contribute to
more and better education for all

Southern States to break their ira
ditional ties with the Democratic
Party in the recent election-was
not on the agenda.
! Gov. Lane of Maryland, chairman
of the conference, said the State
executives would discuss National

freight rates and submerged tide
lands.
