Barley Main Speaker
Al Turfmen's Dinner
In New York Toniqht
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. Twisting
New York for the first time since
his recent marriage, Vice Presi-
dent Barley tonight will address
a dinner completing the eighth
annual meeting of the Thorough
bred Racing Associations.
Just what the Weep will have to
say has not been revealed, but he
should feel at home among the
gathering of more than 300 turf
executives and their guests.
The Vice President is a former
Senator from Kentucky, whose
famed bluegrass country has pro-
duced so many thoroughbred
champions. And he was good
friend of the late Col. Matt j..
VIM, Mr.. Kentucky Derby"
The Vice President will be pre-
sented with a gold lifetime pass
to all IRA member tracks. No
other man ever received one.
The business side Of today's
agenda for the IRA, which has IS
Of the country's major tracks as
members, includes a meeting Of
the Board of Directors with cleo
ton of officers for the coming year,
discussions of various phases Of
racing and report from the Com
mittee on Public Relations.
At the meetings opening yester-
day. unanimous opposition to
night racing for thoroughbred
horses was reaflrmed.
Illinois and New Hampshire
have legislation permitting run
ming races under the lights and
there has been much talk of others
following suit, particularly with
the drop in betting and attend
ance figures at so many tracks.
It has been just the opposite with
night harness racing tracks.
Donald P. Ross. IRA president,
declared:
Might racing would be very
much to the detriment of the sport.
and would lead to excessive betting
by people who are least able to
afford it, by going to the tracks
too often. OF course, there might
be a boom for three or four years,
but it would put racing in a bad
light, and couldn't last"

SOUTHERN PINES, N. c.. Dec.
1.-The Middle Atlantic PGA's
resolution to increase the prize
money from Is to 40 places in
$4,000 golf tournaments carried
by 60-to-9 vote here at the
annual meeting of the National
lPGA despite a desperate attempt
by Tournament Bureau Manager
George Schneiter to defeat it.
Prince Georges Pro Al Hough-
ton, sponsor of the resolution. and
Schneiter ran circles around each
other, buttonholing delegates to
present their respective cases.
Houghton had a fairly easy time
of it as a number of pros present
have been among that group that
just finishes out of the money in
the present setup.
Schneiter wanted to leave it to
the tournament players. He was
opposed because the extra money
will be taken off the top and that
means it's going to be tougher to
get the big-name players to COM
pete. First money in a $4,000
event now will be $4,000 instead
of So 500 such as Sam Snead re-
ceived for winning The Washing
ton Star Open lats year.
The Middle Atlantic resolution.
which goes into effect at the start
of the summer tour, calls for 20
500 prizes from 21st to 40th place.
It is meant to help the pros who
have a tough time breaking even.
Probably the biggest news to the
golf pros to come out of the meet
ing was the election OF Horton
Smith to the secretary's position.
They're saying that Smith will be
the 1851 president. succeeding Joe
Novak, who was elected to sec
ond term.
Smith might have been elected
last year If 1t had not been for
the postcard stunt, whereby an
anonymous person sent cards to
all PGA members calling for Ed
Dudley's defeat and the election
of Smith. Horton had nothing to
do with the ill-timed card sending.
Smith is one of pro COLTS hardest
workers and deepest thinkers. The
secretary's position is the second
most important in the PGA setup.
Although an established member
of the touring pros, Smith was
the choice Of the club pros for
the position.
AL Houghton said the pros gave
George Schneiter tremendous
vote of confidence In their final
session. That makes you wonder

Attlee on May 3, his doctors or
May 4. and other physicians OF
May IT.
In the intervening time he was
either In London or at Windsor
(Windsor Castle. outside of Lon
DOM" the spokesman explained.
1t was "palpably absurd" the
spokesman added. to think that
the King could make a foreign
journey without being recognized
early and often.
Walter Kirtley. a retired Ne
braska City (Nebr.) lumber exec
utive. claimed yesterday he saw a
man who was identified to him as
the King carried into the Mayo
Clinic a fortnight ago.
In Rochester a Mayo Clinic
spokesman said there was "abso-
lutely nothing to the report"
In Washington a British EN-
bassy press officer said this prob
ably belongs in the department of
understatement, but I should re-
gard the matter with some re-
serve"
Mr.. Kirtley, a Rotarian and
Chamber of Commerce president,
said he saw a procession of auto
mobiles pull up to the rear door
Of st. Mary's Hospital in Roches-
ter and man was unloaded from
an ambulance and carried into the
hospital on a stretcher. He said
the patient was accompanied by a
retinue Of doctors, nurses and
others. Mr.. Kirtley said he in
quired of a girl at the door who
the patient was and was told 1t
was King George of England.
Mr.. Kirtley said he subsequently
received verification from too
many unrelated sources" to leave
any doubt In his mind that the
patient was King George. He
added that during the next sew

Who Will Win
Heavyweight Bout

CHICAGO, (P) - For the first
time since Joe Louis cornered the
heavyweight boxing market y
years ago and whipped all corners,
a real even-Stephen contest for
the title has shaped up in the Ez
gard Charles-Jersey Joe WalCOtt
scrap tonight.
Although the bout has been
dubbed the slim pickins' " heavy
weight championship, it sincerely
presents two fired-up contestants
who are not afraid of each other
and appear evenly matched.
Louis, before he retired and
tossed up his crown for the
Charles-Walcott winner. always
was an overwhelming favorite
who usually came through right
on schedule in cut-and-dried fash
ion.
About the nearest he came to
being dismantled was by Walcott
in December of 1947. Jersey Joe
floored him and carried the attack
through Is rounds only to lose a
decision which still is mighty con-
troversial.
