 NEW YORK (P) Typewriter doodlings:
 If Sam Snead gets help from the galleries in golf tourna- ments as Tommy Bolt says he is reasonably sure,'' Sam sho- uld speak sharply to the fans at the National Open Tourna- ments for not cooperating. That's the ibig one he has failed to win. From what we have seen of his game, he's about the last person who should need help. Anyway, if Bol's statement were true, there isn't much that could be done about it. You cant penalize Snead for being popular. Maybe Bolt should cultivate a following ot his own and scatter few SOC cer players in the gallery to give the ball a skillful kick when it's heading for trouble.
