oughbreds at Bowie under an un-
usual working agreement. Purses

The Male Angle
By Harry Keene

Your wardrobe needs two kinds
of coats when the rough and
tough winter months set in. One,
a buffer against cold itself, and
another which adds storm and
blizzard protection. Your wardrobe
should include one coat designed
for foul weather, keeping your
finer, more costly, Woolen over
coats for wear on dry cold oc-
casions. This is very much like
the raincoat's function during
warmer months.
The smartest, most comfortable
and functional garment you can
choose for this purpose is a city
storm coat which takes its in
spiration from similar coats styled
for more casual wear. It has a
warmth without-weight" alpaca
lining, mouton collar, and is
available in either single or double
breasted models. The thing that
makes it more appropriate for
wear with your more dressy busi-
ness clothes is the fact that 1t is
available in deeper colors such as
navy blue, and in this case has a
gray collar rather than the usual
brown or tan on sports type
models.
Blue is an important color this
season, so naturally this color re-
fleets itself prominently in the
new overcoats stores are showing.
Both single and double breasted
models are in good taste. # you

Few canvasbacks have been re-
ported from the lower Potomac
and also few redheads, although
reports from Currituck say that
both the little blackheads and the
red heads now are present in con-
siderable numbers.
We also have a report from Bob

mostly baldpates and widgeon.
Plenty of ducks are present in the

Schneiter has a staff Of three
on the Tournament Bureau pay
roll along with him. There are
Terry Malan. his wife. Jane Malan.
who is the field secretary. and Ken
Everett, the scorer. If any Of
their services is dispensed with,
he claims the service to the spon-
sors will suffer.
The bespectacled, black-h haired
Schneiter in his soft voice out
lined the services made in the
tournament program since he sue
ceeded Fred Corcoran more than
two years ago. Corcoran had built
the tour to a 100000 operation
before he resigned.
The improvem ment under
Schneiter included: A new and
complete player record book just
out, the most complete ever is
sued; starter for all tourna-
ments; a tournament scorer; BIZ
weekly press releases: pro-ama-
teurs arranged through the
tournament bureau: players COM
mitment lists; the pretournament
clinics; a rules agreement with
the United States Golf Associa-
ton, including the filing of clubs
to meet USGA standards; 1000
page sponsors guide; a players
bulletin; the elimination of ap-
pearance money to a number of
players in favor of the standard
appearance money to the big
three; the arranging of exhibi-
tions for players; an Office where
all correspondence is handled i'm
mediately, etc.
Not Entirely on Defensive.
He claims that the introduction
of a tournament starter and
scorer has given the tournaments
much more appeal and they never
again will be able to do without
them. His staff Is hired on a
year-round basis because he
claims you can't get the type peo-
pie he wants on a part-tim basis.
Schneiter isn't entirely on the
defensive. If given the job he has
a seven-point program to put
through that will call for control
over the name players, whereby he
can guarantee their appearances
and have them severely penalized
by the PGA If they fail to show.
His plan calls for guarantees for
the top 10 winners on a pro-rated
basis for certain percentage OF
them to be present at each tourna-
ment.
Schneiter will be called upon
today to make his own defense,
of the Tournament Bureau ex-
penses, Of his tournament partici-
patton and of his being on a manu-
facturer's payroll. OF the latter.
he said he tossed out hundreds of
sets Of clubs Of his own company
that did not meet the tournament
specifications. For q guy on the

Gordon, Paige Proving
Headaches for New

BY the Assoeiatsd Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 29.-The

them he wants to quit and play IN
the Pacific Coast League. Cor

and batted 1863.
No. 2-Satchel Paige. one Of
baseball's alltime top crowd at
fractions, is on the doubtful list.
Manager -Shortstop Lou Boudreau
says the aging Negro pitchers bad
stomach might make him a bad
risk on the 1850 roster.
But considering the team in
general, Boudreau talked optimis-
tically after his first meeting with
President Ellis w. Ryan and Cen
eral Manager Hank Greenberg.
He scheduled another huddle with
them today.
The Indians, after winning the
World Series in 1948, barely made
third place this past season. One
big reason was the failure of Third
Baseman Kenny Keltner, Gordon
and Boudreau himself to maintain
their '48 pace.
However, Lou said he was conf
dent all three would do fine this
coming year.
II definitely intend to play short
next season." said Boudreau.
Shifting to Gordon, Lou said:
"Joe's not washed up. The best
series he had last season was in
Detroit on the last three days. I
don't know what he has In mind,
but I certainly hope he decides to
come back"
However. Gordon insisted at his
home In Eugene. Oreg.. he wanted
to pull out of the Tribes lineup.
Portland, he said, sounded like a
good hookup. That way, he could
be close to home.

|PGA Group Attacks Schneiter
For Tourney Bureau E Expense
By MerFeII WhittIesey
Stor StofT CORRESPONDENT

SOUTHERN PINES, N. c., Nov.
20. There's an anti = George
Schneiter bloc here at the annual
meeting of the National Profess
sional Golfers Association. a
group that wants him to justify
the $4,000 deficit of the Tourna-
ment Bureau and then either les
sen his powers or fire him.
The 38-year-old manager OF the
PGA's 100000 tournament pro-
gram is ready for them with a
briefcase full Of facts and figures
that he wants to ram right down
their throats.
Schneiter thinks he's done a
pretty good job and he's a bit
peeved at the sharpshooters who
are after him. One group, the
Carolinas, wants him to stop play
ing in tournaments If he keeps
his job. Another wants him to re-
linquish his income from one OF
the sporting goods companies that
hires him in an advisory capacity
He is willing to do both, II neces-
sary, but he wants to keep his job
Schneiter and his wife and
three children won't stop eating
tomorrow If he's kicked out. He
is on leave Of absence from the
Ogden (utah) Country Club and
can go back there any minute.
In addition he has had several
other offers. He also owns a huge
cattle ranch in Utah.
Expenses Draw Fire.
The major complaint against
Schneiter is that the Tournament
Bureau =. is costing too much
money. His salary for the fiscal
year was $10,500 and his expenses
about $4,000, the latter for 40
weeks on the road and stopping
in suites In the best places to
maintain his position.
The only income to the Tourna-
ment Bureau is a contribution
from the Athletic Institute, which
is the manufacturers, and income
from the pretournament clinics
which bring in $3.50 in the winter
for each tournament and $500
in the summer. Out of the $500
the National Open and PGA
champions and the leading money
winner each Is guaranteed $3.50
per tournament appearance. No
guarantees are paid in the win
ter.
Schneiter told the Executive
Committee he is willing to work
free until it can devise method
to pay his salary. He claims he
spent months of his own time and
dollars Of his own money working
for the PGA before he officially
was hired and he's willing to do
it again If there's no money on
hand
