Record Number of Outsiders
May Change Masters Pattern

Course. Middlecof argues that
Ted has conquered that weakness
of the tee.
Ventura, the young California
amateur who shucked a service
uniform to play in this tourna-
ment, caught Nelson's eye when
he averaged under 70 in a series
of exhibitions last year.
Real Dark Horse.
Dickinson. even 1eaner and
slighter in build than Hogan,
is the real dark horse of the
quartet. He hasn't made the
tournament swing this winter,
devoting his time to teaching
and practicing on Hogan's home
course at Palm Springs. Calf.
But ne attracted Ben'S atten-
ton year ago by his smooth
stroking and his knack of fin
ishing in the money whenever
he played.
To these four names can be
added such newcomers to the
Masters field as Bob Toski, only
double winner on the winter
tour: low-scoring Bud Holscher,
Bob Rosburg. Jay Hebert, Frank
Souchak and PGA Champion
Walter Burkemo. Among the %
amateurs are Morey. runnerup
for the National title; Don Al
bert. Bruce Cudd, Ted Richards
and Angelo Santilli-all un-
knowns in this event.
These newcomers will be up
against the toughest COMPETE
ton they ever have faced.
Hogan Record May Fall.
Hogan, who won with a record
274 score last year. is aiming to
become the second three time
winner of the Masters and the
first to win it twice in success
sion. And he won't predict that
his record score will stand.
Given four days of sunshine,
Hogan predicted today, some one
IN the big field will beat his
mark. Augusta Nationals broad
fairways are in excellent shape.
The greens are slower than in
past years with the result that
players can risk bold pitches to
the pins. And, after couple of

looking for a low-scoring spree
when the tournament begins

AUGUSTA. Ca, April g.
There never has been an occa-
sion when an unknown won the
Masters golf tournament, but it
could happen this year.
The conditions of the Masters
are all against the outsiders. To
qualify for an invitation to this
event. a golfer has to prove his
merit by winning an important
title or by finishing in the upper
brackets of a major champion
ship. That's what gives the tour
nament it's unique touch.
But the big field for the 1854
MaSters-about 80 or more start
ers out of lis who received in
Observation-Disclosures more players
than ever before whose names
seldom have appeared in head
lines as tournament winners.
To emphasize this fact. Cliff
Roberts, tournament chairman,
asked four of the top players
to name four newcomers who
seemed to have a chance. The
result was this:
John Dawson, veteran anna
teur, tabled Gene Littler as "the
most interesting golfer I have
ever watched" Cary Middlecoff
picked Ted Knoll as a possible
winner; Ben Hogan. the defend
ing champion, put in a strong
plug for his assistant, Gardner
Dickinson, while Byron Nelson
put young Ken Ventura on top
of his list.
Littler Has No Nerves.
Littler is the 1853 National
Amateur champion who turned
pro in January. just after beat
ing the pros in the San Diego
Open. He's steady, Unconditional
player, with big capable hands,
wide variety of shots and ut
terly without tournament nerves.
He proved that when he shut
off Dale Morey's late rally to win
the Amateur title last fall.
Knoll, a chunky, hard-bitten
ex-soldier, is the oldest of the
four listed. He's tested tourna-
ment player who has won his
share, but so far he, hasn't dis
played the big game needed to
cope with the 5000 yards of the

7 Pct. Boost in Tax,
More Racing Days
Sought by Laurel

John D. Schapiro, president
of the booming Laurel race
course, believes it's up to the
Maryland Legislature to help the
track go on to better business by
giving it more time to operate
and a higher tax.
Schapiro, whose family has
laid out several million dollars
for improvements since buying
Laurel in 1850, declared 1--WE
can't reasonably spend addi-
tional money without help from
the State"
He specifically urged that
Laurel be given more than its
present 80 days of racing and
that the State tax be increased
from 10 to IL per cent, the track
and State each taking an extra
/ per cent.
Schapiro said an 18 per cent
increase in attendance and 80
per cent in betting at Laurel
over last fall "substantiates our
belief that improvements in con-
venience for patrons and i'm
provement in the class of racing
are all that's needed to re-
establish Maryland as leading
racing State.
Can't Stand Still.
1--WE also realize, however, that
you can't stand still in any
business and must have contin-
ual improvement as long as
those improvements are juSti-
fed. That's why I believe it is
now the States turn to take a
hand"
Laurel fans set a record by
Betting more than 81 million a
day for eight straight days
through last Saturday. Yester-
day it fell off to $986,254 as the
crowd of LAT saw Lotus Eater
and Stars Shine finish in the
meetings second dead heat for
first money.
The daily average for Is of
the first 10 days this spring is
$1,184,057, compared with $685.
OTIS for the same number of
days last fall.
Schapiro said he will make his
proposals to the Maryland Rae
ing Commission and hope it will
back them before the Legisla-
ture. The Legislature earlier this
year decided a proposed per
cent increase in the tax was I'M
wise, but appointed a continuing
committee to study a possible
boost of 2 per cent for conSid-
Grafton next year.
Wants Continuous Meetings.
Schapiro also renewed his ar
gument for continuous meetings
which the Racing Commission
rejected this year. Maryland'S
three mile tracks. Laurel, Bowie
and Pimlico, now split their rae
ing days of 33 each between
spring and fall.
The 80 days are mot enough
for a plant this size and it will
be hard to carry on with such
high-caliber racing if our allot-
ment of days is not increased"
Schapiro said, I'VE must con-
tinue our progressive trend, just
as much for the State as for
Laurel itself"

The Navy is planning to re-

officers passed over for pro-

Commanding officers have been
requested to submit to the chief

of reserve officers whose reten-
ton is considered particularly
advantageous to the service"
Admiral Holloway said.
The Navy must cut 5000 Off

These deposits also cause power loss by
short-circuiting spark plugs, causing them
to misfre when you need power most.
Now, however, there is way to release
the imprisoned power in your engine-and
quickly!
It's Shell Premium Gasoline with TCP,
the greatest gasoline development since
tetraethyl lead TCP additive actually re-
powers your engine by changing the char
acter of the lead and carbon deposits In the
combustion chamber it "freproofs" them so
they cannot glow and cause pre-ignition.
And, because it makes the deposits non
conductors of electricity spark plugs no
longer short-circuit-they fire on time.
Power works for you-not against you.
Evening star., 1954-03-30

Lid you know that up to 1870 of your
engines power is actually trapped =. that
you are paying for power you aren't getting?
The reason is this: Every gasoline sold
today contains deposit forming compounds:
And, as gasoline is burned, lead and carbon
deposits form on the walls of the combus-
ton chamber and on the tips of the spark
plugs. In the combustion chamber these
deposits become "red hot" especially when
you are accelerating and "set off, the gaso-
1ine-air mixture before the piston reaches
it's proper firing position. Power works
against you, not for you. This condition is
called pre-ignition and it not only wastes
power and fuel-it is also responsible for a
most severe kind of knock-engineers call
it wild ping"
Evening star., 1954-03-30

BY the time you have finished your sec
ond tankfbl, you'll be getting up to 1870
more power. But ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS these
deposits are constantly building up con-
tinued use of Shell Premium Gasoline with
