touch around the greens. they're

Treder had a personal inter-
est in his message as he believes
Irving Salamy, one of his pro-
teges of the last few seasons, is
a junior golfer with considerable
promise.
HE didn't win any Junior
tournaments last year and may
take his lickings this year"
Treder added, but the boy is
developing a golf swing and
that's something most young
sterS don't have"
Salamy, according to Treder,
has the correct approach to the
game. Irving is concentrating
on his swing and in a season or
two he may have something.
With youth, a short game and
a swing, he'll have the advan-
tage on most players.
And when a player with a
sound golf swing loses youth and
his putting touch, he has some
thing to fall back on" Treder
emphasized.
Gil Willett, club champion at
Prince Georges and one OF the

It's another chapter in the
tough luck story of the golfing

Gil spent most Of last week
in Episcopal Hospital with both
eyes bandaged. Doctors first re-
moved the bandage from the
right eye, and this week will
take more X-rays of the left. 1t
will be some time before Gil
learns whether he will regain
his full sight.
The fact that Gil is a big,
hardy, athletic type stood him
in good stead when he was hurt
on the job last Tuesday. The
eye injury was so serious and

estirg sidelight from the Mas
tiers.
The T of C tournament is open
only to winners of PGA-spon-
sored tournaments from the
Masters of 1852 through the
Masters of '53. Several days be-
fore Hogan won the Masters he
hailed reporter from his home
town of Fort Worth and wanted
to know why he wasn't eligible
for the T of c.
Hogan'S point was that he had
won the $4,000 Colonial Invi-
tation last summer and should
be eligible. 1t later was explained
to him that winners of tourna-
ments played under an invita-
tion only basis were not eligible.
Ben was indignant.
So then he won the Masters
to become eligible for the first
time, $4,000 tournament, and
then wouldn't play.

On his second round Satchweil

to mark it, and when he replaced
it the ball moved several inches.
He picked it up again and re-
placed it. One of SatchWell's
playing partners called a two
stroke penalty. inasmuch as the
ball was in play after he set it
down the first time. The two
stroke penalty turned Satchwells
apparent second-round 50 to a
