This Afternoon
$4,000 Due to Go
Winner in First
Big Quincy Of Year
BY the Associotsd Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.--The
Oath annual Los Angeles Open
and Ben Hogan's comeback-gets
underway today. The Nations
leading golfers thus start their
annual trek for winter purses that
will aggregate more thar half
a million dollars.
The Los. Angeles event Offers
the highest single prize, $4,000.
with $4,000 going to the winner
and the remainder split into "a
places.
It's a wide open tournament
despite the fact that once mighty
Hogan is slated to partic pate.
Ben is invariably a man to beat,
but this time it is different. He
is essaying comeback from an
automobile accident that all but
killed him last February.
It remains to be seen whether
he can maintain his old-time
tournament form over the four
day. 72-hole distance.
Many experts believe he can.
Some have even installed him as
the favorite.
Won Event Three Times.
Hogan has captured this same
fixture three times, in 1912, ~, '48
and in that latter year over this
same Riviera Country Club course
he brought its par II to heel and
walked away with the National
Open crown.
The last tournament Ben played
was the Phoenix Open, just before
his car and a bus collided in West
Texas. For a time it appeared
there would be no Hogan, golfer
or otherwise. He beat the odds,
regained some of his former
strength and even now is playing
golf long before it appeared he
would be able to even shake a
putter.
So today the eyes of the gallery
and the golfing world will be
focused on the former kingpin OF
the current crop in his comeback
effort.
: And no one will be watching him
more closely than the other play
Iers. They staged a party for him
last night. The honor guest seemed
a little nervous and retired early
When you leave a party early, you
get talked about. So did he. The
rest Of the entrants had time for
little but Hogan talk. Would he
make it, or wouldn't he? They
seemed about equally divided. But
they weren't weighing their own
chances, or any one else's. Hogan
is the enigma.
Late-Sfarting Threesome.
The pairings matched him in a
threesome with another winner
here, Johnny Bulla, and Eric
Monti, late in the field Of 1913
amateurs and pros. Par for the
7,019-yard layout is 35-36-71.
There are others to watch, Of
course, all more robust in health
than Hogan. They include Sam
Snead. seeking his second win
here: Cary Middleton, National
Open champion; Jimmy Demaret
and such amateurs as Johnny
Dawson, Frank Stranahan and
Bruce Mccormick.

Trinidad Citizens Recommend
School Fare Boost to S Gents

The Trinidad Citizens Associa-

that the three-cent fare now in

The three-cent fare has been
in force since 1888, when the Cap
ital Transit Co. was formed from
a merger of the old Capital Trac-
ton and Washington Railway and
Electric companies. To raise the
fare to five cents would require
an act of Congress, since the pre-
sent fare was established by Con-
gress. e.,
The association also asked that
the weekly pass be retained, re-

sit obtains the fare raise now be-
fore the Public Utilities Com
