Gamblers Take
Dropping Fast

MIAMI Up - Florida gamblers,
whose annual take" in the post
war years was estimated at 12O
million dollars, apparently made
only about liz million in the past
winter season.
John L. Fahs, collector of in
ternal revenue for Florida, made
the estimate on the basis of pay
ments by gamblers holding federal
tax stamps.
During the 5-month period from
December through April, Fhas said
633 gamblers paid Sal, 1856 to the
government. This supposedly rep

Sam Drudge Wins
XIV Golf Club Bid

Roy M. Duke, president of the
Key West Golf Club, has announc-
ed that contract has been grant
ed to Sam Drudge for repair and
alterations to the present club
house on Stock IslaLd. Drudge's
bid of $500. was the lowest of
those submitted.
The building committee, Hy Alt
man, Ward Tyson, and r. M. Duke,
have been struggling for a long
time in an effort to get present
improvements accomplished.
A new addition. 35' x as, will be
placed in the front of the building.
1t will house a club lounge, pro
shop, and bar facilities. Alterations
are being made to the mems lock-
er room. installation of showers,
etc.
CHS construction is being used.
Terrazzo floors, glass jalousied
windows will provide luxurious
comfort.
Original plans for the present
work were started in 1947. Il was
at this time that a percentage of
the income to the club derived
from its sixty members was reg
ularly put to one side. Mr.. Duke
stressed the fact that all money
that went into the building fund
come from Club members and not
from visiting players or others
who pay green fees.

piece Of equipment starts to settle,
it continues on out of sight.
Sod grass is in great demand all
over the state.
Charlie says that quite often his
trucks have to wait twenty-four
hours before they can pick up
their load.
Black Muck
The black muck that is used to
spread as top soil comes from boys
around West Hollywood. It is mix
ture Of muck and sugar sand and
is dug from pits deep enough so
that there is no danger Of weed
seed being mixed in it.
This muck releases hydrogen and
helps hold moisture. The effect
that it has on grass already grow
ing is almost miraculous.
Charlie Wardlow
Wardlow's Landscaping grew In
to a business from a hobby.
Charlie has always been interest
ed in horticulture. He received
much of his training under Mr.. Ru-
fus Pittman. the man who laid out
the Navy Hospital grounds and was
in large measure, responsible for
the beauty of Casa Marina S
lawns.
1.-The water situation is our main
trouble here in town., Charlie told
me. Were having a struggle to
plant new lawns, to get water for
spraying, etc.

District Girls Biddinq

As Swim Tests Start
BY the Associafed Press

INDIANAPOLIS, July 4.-The
girls with the broad shoulders, the
freestyle sprinters, raced in the
200 by 45O-foot Broad Ripple
Pool today for six tickets to the
Olympic Games at Helsinki.
Seven elimination heats and
eight-girl finals were scheduled to
reduce the field from So entries
on the first Of three days of wom-
ems Olympic swimming tryouts.
The six winners today will make
up three Olympic starters in the
100-meter freestyle, another girl
to fill out the 400-meter relay
team, and two alternates.
Coaches called the setup ideal,
with the water comfortable and
the lanes far enough from the
walls to keep backwash to a mini
mum.
The field was strong enough to
threaten the American women s
100-meter record of 1:05.8 by
Brenda HelSer of Portland, Oreg.,

HawaiianS Among FavoriteS.
Favorites included Jackie Lavie
|of Chicago, member of the 1948
Olympic team, Hawaii's Evelyn
Kawamoto and Thelma Kalama
and Sharon Geary of Los Angeles,
the national 100-meter champion.
Miss Kawamoto holds the Ameri-
can record at 400 meters.
Also in the field were Marilee
stephan of Chicago, national 200
yard champion: Sheila Donahue
and Betty Mullen of the AAU
champion Lafayette (Ind.) Swim
Club; Jody Anderson Of Chicago,
Judy Roberts of Indianapolis and
IA dozen up-and-coming teen
|agers. In this group are Marie
