that Livingston had been TO his
home on a secret visit with his
wife. Brown told the court that
he saw Livingston run out of his
home just as he returned from a

Mrs. Brown explained to the
court that she did run out of the

ment stemmed from the reported
$93. 900 Calcutta at the Tourna-
ment of Champions at Las Vegas,
an event that quietly has been
dropped from the 1854 PGA
tournament schedule after a
one-year stand.
Crafts writes that the PGA
"had better line up with the
USGA in discouraging pro and
semipro gambling interests in
the game. The USGA officially
and repeatedly has asked that
Calcuttas be abolished. The
PGA, whose members are play
ing in events with big-money
Calcuttas. hasn't expressed it.
self. Until the PGA takes a
firm stand against the big CAL
cuttas it's position as a defender
of COLTS integrity is vague"
X X X y
We concur with Crafts on a
point that it hardly seems fair
to damn Las Vegas for doing
the same thing that first-class
clubs are doing, but with less
money.
The big Calcuttas that the
pros often discuss are the ones
at Bing Crosby's tournament, at
La Gorce in Miami, Seminole in
Palm Beach and at the Green
brier. The bidding often reaches
fabulous amounts.
"As long as these crap-game
aspects of golf are glorif1ed at
any club, that club is a cheaper
branch office of a Las Vegas
joint, and is providing condi-
tions that inevitably will reach
an explosion" Crafts writes.
Some Calcuttas are run just for
fun. some with the thought that
they increase interest in the tour
nament. In the smaller ones
connected with member-guest
tournaments. etc. we've noticed
that it's usually the same people
who participate. and the interest
in the Calcuttas has appreciably
lessened.
OF course, in the big pro tour
naments where the pros play with
club members, the tales are that
the winners receive a sizable
