Abbot Grabs
One
Tourney Spot

NEW YORK a - Pat Abbott, a
handsome 4O-year-cld Southerner
who gave UP ambitions to be an
actor and turned professional
golfer, grabbed the No. qualify
ing spot for the United States Open
Championship from a field of more
than 1000 Of the nations links ex-
perts.
Abbott was all by himself out
in front of the 26S golfers who
qualified yesterday in the first step
of the complicated rev system of
getting into the Open tournament.
Julius Boros of Midi Pines, N. c.,
last years open champion, and 81
other players were exempted from
the tests, which saw almost all of
the leading professionals get
through. A number of the top
amateurs failed to qualify.
Notable among TIE failures was
the virtually complete collapse of
the famous Turnesa golfing family.
Mike, Willie, Joe and Joe Jr., all
were eliminated in the New York
City area competition. Only jim
Turnesa, who as the defending
PEA champion automatically es-
capped the first cutdown, is still
In the running.
Abbott, professional at the Men,
phis Country Club for five years,
toured the neighboring 6,167-yard
Memphis Colonial Country Club
layout In 5 under par, 69-66-135.
Next among the candidates who
qualified on 80 widely scattered
courss were Dave Douglas, vet
eran tournament pro from Newark,
Del, who had a 69-67-1Ss despite
morning thunderstorm at Phila-
delphia, and Ray Gafford, the pro
at the Northwood Country Club in
Dallas, where the 1852 Open was
played. Gafford also shot a 69-67--
1856.
Dick Chapman of Pinehurst,
N. c., former British and u. S.
amateur champion, failed by a
stroke at Philadelphia. Jim Nc
Hale, Walker Cup star from
Philadelphia, missed by the same
margin at Mamaroneck, N. Y,
and big Bill Campbell Of Hunting
! ton, w. Va, could get no better
than an alternate,s spot at Hunt
ington.
Under the new qualifying setup
being used this year for the first
time, the players who passed yes
terday will now enter a 36-hole
preliminary competition, at Oak
mont, Pa, June 9-lO. They win be
joined In these preliminary rounds
by all Of the players who we're
exempt from qualifying, except
Boros. After this 80 holes, the low
149 players and ties viii enter the
regular 72-hole Open tournament.
Prize money win total SIC. 200 with

NEW 1Onh Mg-lS Den hogan
the greatest golfer the world has
ever seen? The belief is given in
no less august a medium than the
U. S. Golf Association Journal,
whose June issue features an ar
ticle by Herbert Warren Wind en-
titled How Great Is Ben Hogan"
It has not been popular in some
circles to suggest that the amazing
Texan has proved himself finer
consistent shot man than was Bob
by Jones, the wonderful Georgian.
Wind, author of 1.-THE Story of
American Golf" sticks his neck
out, in part, as follows:
''Not for a very long time-per.
haps not since Jones won them all
in l930-has a performance by a
golfer excited the admiration of
the games insiders as did Hogan's
four rounds over the Augusta
National last April when he low
cred the Masters record by five
strokes simply by not playing one
loose shot in 274. -.
ut Is certainly understandable
if, since Augusta, a number Of
reliable critics have decided that
Ben is, without any qualifications
whatever, the greatest golfer who
ever lived. Perhaps it would be
fairest to put it this way: in the
long history Of golf, there probably
never has been a better golfer
than Ben Hogan.
This disposition to elevate
Hogan to status comparable to
that of Vardon and Jones is wide
spread but not by any means unan-
imous. The most interesting dis
sent comes from that band Of ira
ditionaliSts who claim they cannot

Ben wins a British Open and dem

at that other kind Of golf'--con-
trolling the ball when the wind Is
ripping hard across q British links,
with its Snugger fairway lies, its
rougher rough and its hard, I'M
watered green's.
Whether or not you agree with
this reasoning, the implicit sugges-
ton that Ben take a crack at the
British Open Is one that indeed,
stirs the golfers Imagination. How
would Ben, who has never played
a competitive round in Britain,
make out in their Open7
The most provocative point they
1.-THE Hogan doubterxl raise is
based on the assumption that In
very windy conditions Ben might
be blown, off the lairways and, on
some courses be faced with the
one shot he has apparently not

Saxbe Rated High
AS LEGISLATOR

COLUMBUS-Last week, Re-
publican Speaker of the House,
William Saxbe of Mechanicsburg,
made a special effort to contact
newspaper reporters to let them
know that lobbyists were continu-
ing to make tremendous efforts to
discredit Saxbe and the Republic
can program.
Saxbe said that he held caucus
of the Republicans in the House
to advise them of the methods be-
ing used and to clear the aid of
the innuendos and false statements
that are being made.
This is the second time Saxbe
has gone out of his way to strike
at lobbyists and their methods of
influencing the legislature. And
there must be some reason for his
efforts to convince everyone that
lobbyists will not dominate this
session of the legislature.
