LONG BEACH, Calf, Jan. "a
Youthful Jack Burke, jr,, headed
into the final round Of the $4,000
Long Beach Open golf tournament
today as the leader and the gallery
| favorite, but he faced a hard task
in quest of his first major victory.
Burke set out with 54-hole score
Of 2O3, thanks to a brilliant 66 round
yesterday.
One stroke back was the most
dangerous player in golf, Ben Hogan.
And three shots away from the
leader, in an all-Texas threesome
was Jimmy Demaret.
Burke, 25 years old and a Marine
for four years, is professional in
White Plains, N Y. but he Is a
native of Houston. Tex, where his
father. the late Jack Burke, ST.. was
a leading pro for II years and under
whom Demaret once served as as
sistant at River Oaks Country Club.
Hogan registers from Hershey, Pa,
but Fort Worth is his home So
today's final for the $4,000 first
money is three-star battle OF the
Lone Star State.
Burke's 5-under-par 66 followed
rounds of 68 and SO.
Hogan, after carding 68 and a
66, slipped" to a 10. i under par
for the Lakewood Country Club
course.
Demaret had a 54-hole card
reading -69-206.
Both Hogan and Demaret have
been top money winners for years.
Burke's rewards on two previous
winter tours have been anything but
tremendous. He placed in the
lower bracket incomes in five tour
naments last year and his best
position was fifth in the Tucson
! (ArizD Open.
Trailing the Texas trio starting
out this morning were Jim Ferrier,

Polo an Old Gray Mare That Amt What She Used to Be
Mouned by Ly lawrence Mon Of May Talents

Larry recalled. He had been q
great star at Yale and later
gained a wide reputation as a
track official. There was a story
that he was so fast he could start
a race then run down to the
finish and clock the time, but I
never saw him do it
Lawrence hailed from the
Genesee Valley of New York,
great horse country, where his
father, a retired naval officer,
bred horses, specializing in hunt
ers. Larry learned to ride almost
before he learned to walk, so
when Rumsey asked him to play
in a polo match with him at the
Buffalo Country Club, Lawrence
at least was able to ride as well
as the rest. Handling the mallet
was his chief difficulty, but in
time he learned to control it.
In time, Larry became a polo
referee, adding to his authority
as a critic of the game. And if
you think it isn't rough. take a
look at the rule book where such
things as slugging an opponent,
hitting his pony over the head
with mallet, tripping and
swinging for a home run-not to
mix sports-in scrimmage, are
frowned on. But he still insists
it's good, clean fun.
The matches in West Potomac
Park were colorful, hard-riding
affairs. It was like a scene from
a Currier and Ives engraving as
the sweating ponies and helmeted
riders raced furiously over the
green. Parents with toddles in
hand strolled on the sidelines in
the shade Of the graceful weep
ing willows. The gurgling Poto-
mac flowed by, completing the
Evening star., 1949-01-24

picture OF good times and good
sport.
Gen. George Patton, then a
major at Fort Myer, played polo
here, and you can find dozens of
other popular officers - Majors
John Eager and Willis Critten-
berger and Col. Robert c. Foy,
to name few-in the lineups.
But the officers. their sleek
ponies, their grooms who had
more than a roofing interest in
the matches, are gone forever.
victims of the war and progress.
The AP dispatch went on to
say that 750 players were given

the Blind Brook Club, New York.
the lone 9-goal man. Three
others, Mike Phipps, Alan Corey,

The United States Polo Asso-
citation has announced its 1949
handicaps, we learn from an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch, with Stew
art Iglehart of Florida and Cecil
Smith of Texas still ranked as
the only 10-goal stars. But it
doesn't mean anything around
here. Polo was one of the wars
unsung casualties.
Larry Lawrence, who used to
write about horses and now
paints pictures of them that
fairly breathe, was talking about
polo just the other day. He doesn't
think the sport ever will come
back to Washington. The old
polo field in Potomac Park is a
hard-surfaced parking lot. The
cavalry, which fostered the game
at nearby Fort Myer, has been
mechanical. Polo, henceforth,
will be for the favored few in
localities where horses and space
are plentiful.
Lawrence compares polo with
ice hockey, or vice versa. Polo is
q tougher game, he says, pointing
out that a player not only must
have control over himself but also
over his pony. Unlike the hockey
player. who wields only stick,
the poloist must handle the NAL
let, reins and possibly a whip.
It doesn't hurt to have touch
of Eddie Arcaro in your makeup,
nor must you place too high a
value on your neck.
Larry speaks with authority
because he played polo with the
late Charles Rumsey, Devereaux
Milburn and a host of crack
headliners of their era. RumSey,
a famous sculptor of horses, lived
on fashionable Delaware avenue
in Buffalo, N. Y. For conven-
ience, Rumsey had a ramp built
from the ground to his second
floor studio, enabling him to

The Caps don't have the Eastern
Division title Of the Basket Ball
Association of America clinched,
but there isn't any one foolish
enough to bet against their chances.
The second-place New York
Knickerbockers, after losing, 97-93,
to the Caps last night, will have to
content themselves with a scrap
with the Baltimore Bullets for sec
ond place, it appears.
Even If the Caps went into a
slump, 1t would have to be big
one for the Knicks to squeeze into
the title spot and then the New
Workers would have to do better
than the .543 mark they've run up
so far this season.
The Caps have % games left and
they could lose 13 and still end the
season with 1920 mark. Then the
Knicks, would have to win q OF
their remaining Is games to tie the
Caps. The Bullets, a half a game
behind New Fork, would need q
wins in "a contests to tie for the
lead.
The 100 points scored by both
teams yesterday set pro record for
Madison Square Garden, while the
Caps 81 points tied the Garden
record for an individual team.
Bob Feerick, who is on his way
toward setting an all-time free
throw record, dumped in 13 without
a miss and put in Ave field goals
for % points.
But It was Bones Mckinney, who
established a new output for any
Cap this season with 26 points, who
lied Washington's attack. The previ-
Gus local record was "a points, set
by Mckinney against Minneapolis
on November 6 and tied by Feerlck
last month against Providence.
