sportsman with a wealth of gol1
in his system, Is almost certain
to play with the Ryder Cup team
this year.
The curly-haired kid picked ur
10 Ryder Cup points with victory
in the ST. Pete Open yesterday
He also picked up $4,000 and is
second to Sam Snead in both
money winnings to date ano
Ryder points.
Running his money to $7,46C
and Ryder points to 208, Burke
breezed by his idol and teacher
dazzling Jimmy Demaret.
Snead won 5000 for his sixth
place finish, and leads the money
parade with $8,158. He has 238
Ryder Cup points and also leads
for the Vardon Trophy with an
average of 6833 strokes in "a

and Johnny Palmer with 1851
In %.
One golfer who never has made
the Ryder Cup team is among the
top 10 candidates at this time
He is Pete Cooper, whose only
major win was the st. Petersburg
Open last year and who is making
his final big swing around the
golf circuit this year.
Ryder Cup leaders behind De-
maret are Chandler Harper. Ellis
worth Vines, Henry Ransom, Skip
Alexander, Ben Hogan, Pete
Cooper and Chick Harbert.
Leading money winners for the
year: Snead, $8.158: Burke, 81 ,460;

Lyons Injects Annoying Ace.
When a golfer shoots 67-67-69-

and then has to sweat it out te
be sure of victory, the competition
is tough.

Toby Lyons both bid to take away
his victory.
Going into the final round Har-
bert had tied Burke at 204 by
shooting two sensational rounds
of IS. Lyons had 205.
Just as Burke birdied the 18th
hole, word came that Lyons scored
a hole in l on the 18th. Three
pars would tie him for the lead.
but the pressure was too much for
the slight man from Warren. Pa.
He went over par on the 18th
and 17th and pared the last.
Barely Misses Big Eagle.
Harbert needed an eagle on the
final to deadlock Burke. With
Burke sitting alongside the green,
Harbert stroked an 18-footer that
scarcely missed doing it. The ball
skidded past the edge Of the cup
and the Worthwhile, Mich. pro had
second money of 81 400 for his 273.
The awarding of prize money
was delayed over question on
Harbert's score. His drive on the
18th hole went beyond a fence
but stayed on club property and
therefore was ruled okay. A rul-
ing the other way would have
cost him two strokes and second
place.
The low amateur was Bill
Shields of Albany, N. Y, with 3l1
-27 strokes over par. Two golf
ers who recently left amateur
ranks to become pros finished
among the leaders.
Riegel Can't Collect.
Skee Riegel of Tulsa, Okla. shot
282 which meant $210 for others
with a like score but Riegel
couldn't collect it. He is not ELI
gible to win money in PGA-
sponsored tournaments until he
has been a pro six months.
The other former amateur.
Doug Ford of Briar Cliff, N. Y,
shot 284 and collected $3.50.

there are approximately 1000 per-
sons in our county who at one
time or another have come into
contact with person having
tuberculosis, a communicable dis
ease which is spread from per-
son to person.
There are undoubtedly a great
many of these people who do not
even know they are i'll, since
tuberculosis often has no outword
symptoms in its early stage, yet
they are losing their health and
may be giving the disease to
others. The only way to find these
unknown cases is to x-ray ap-
parently healthy people
The X-ray trailer will be set
up near the Secretary's Office on
the Fair Grounds and will be in
operation for six hours each day
on Tuesday and Wednesday, and
until noon on Thursday. Commit

naming in London for the rest
