the new National Open champion
because he chose to play it safe.
The workmanlike. l-under- par
So with which the slender Texan
won yesterdays playoff was a
cagey round of golf over Merton
Golf Club. a brutal par-70 layout
where there is little dividend for
daring.
While Lloyd Mangrum. whose
runnerup 73 included a two
stroke penalty for a careless geS-
ture, and Washington's George
Fazio, third with a IS, were gam

Hogan was taking the sure way
home. There wasn't more than a
hole or two where his puts went

par golf could tie for the title, he
could win the playoff with some
thing near a par round.
USGA Gets in the Act.
Like many other United States
Golf Association CHAMPIONSHIPS
the 50th Open ended on a Soui
note. Mangrum was penalized two
strokes for picking up his ball or
the 10th hole and blowing on it
attempting to dislodge a bug. He
had just scrambled to a great
par 4 and received his biggest ova.

fashion that it required 4 hours
so minutes to complete. had moi
been too careful, after all, in theil
detecting.
Summer rules were in effect
of course. but the players were
permitted to mark their balls
when in line of an opponents
putt. Inasmuch as it was not
permissible to wipe the ball, the
procedure is to pick up the ball
between the thumb and forefinger
after placing a coin on the green,
and then holding it in that man
ner or placing it on the green.
Other Technical Infractions.
However. on at least two holes
Hogan dropped the ball from a
waist-high position. While this
had no bearing on the outcome
of the match, it still was tech
nical violation. The point is, thai
in dropping the ball to the greer
instead of placing it. the player
would be able to dislodge muc
from the ball. The course was bon,
dry, and Hogan's ball did no
pick up mud, he simply dropped
it because he was tired and didn'
want to stoop over. But it was {
technicality. There was mucl
controversy in the press room ove1
the incident. On another hole
Fazio dropped his ball instead oi
placing it.
Joe Dey. secretary of the USGA
said he didn't see Hogan dror

In this season of many marriages,
thoughts turn to some of the prac-
tical details of the wedding. For,
in the natural course Of events,
the reception follows the ceremony
and with the proper emphasis
it can be truly festive conclusion.
The wedding party naturally de-
serves more than routine attention
/. both because Of sentimental
reasons and because the hostess
will probably have to accommodate
an unusually large number OF
guests.
With this thought in mind, many
party planners turn to the buffet
as a simple solution to entertain
ment on the grand scale. The
buffet is appropriate for any hour
of the day and gives leeway for a
number of interesting and colorful
ideas.

Now there is a very good

II. Burt ShOtton, an able man

ball club In the league. For a

training trip arranged for profit
rather than condition, his out-of-

over the National League race in
their first six games.
They have the best catching

have the sOundest pitching
staff in either league. They
have, by all odds, the best in

and possibly the best In both
leagues.
They have an outfield that is
rated slightly under the Cardinals,
the Red Sox and possibly the tt

outfield that will hold its own.
So the Dodgers are equipped
with sufficient man power to win
