More than 200 gamblers in the

His sunken cheeks we're covered

BALTIMORE, Aug. 28.-Milton
Logan has been barred from the
dollar Nassau matches at East
Potomac for sometime-he'S get
ting too good for the public links
regulars at the Hams Point course
and now the pros are watching
some of their money go into the
pockets of the slender, 28-year-old
teaching pro.
Logan had a 10 at All View yes
terday. 8 under par, and was Sec
ond only to Charley BasSler's
courSe-record 81 in the pro sweep
stakes field of 38.
Logan's round probably was the
strangest of the season. He
pared only six holes but had six
brides, an eagle 3 on a par 5,
and went over par five times.
Last week at East Potomac he
was even par with a 72, and the
previous week was in the money
at Manor with a 70, after going
over par on the 18th and 18th
holes. His worst competitive
round of the season was a n at
Fort Dupont.
Most of the cash went to
Bassler, however, as the Rolling
Road pro not only won the pro
sweeps but finished first, second
and third in the pro-amateur
with his three partners. The boys
knew what they had to do, be-
cause Bassler played early and
posted his 6-under-par score be-
fore noon. The previous official
record was 70 by Harry Griesmer
