Hogan Subpar
.Againin Tuneup
For CrosbyGo|f

PEBBLE BEACH, Calf, Jan.
l13 (P.-A total of 284 golfers
tee of on two courses today in
the start OF Bing Crosby's an
lnual pro-anlateur tournament
for charity.
Top attractions are the
Icrooner, who signs the expense
tab, and Ben Hogan, partially
retired and looking fit as a fiddle
in shooting practice rounds Of
I65 Wednesday and 81 yesterday.
That's IL under par for the two
rounds.
Crosby, who raised more than
"a quarter Of q million dollars in
the 10 years he has sponsored
the tourney. toured the course
with Hogan yesterday and
wasn't bothered in the least by
his 80, a fat figure compared to
Bens 81. But then, Hogan
isn't noted as a singer, either.
The starting field will be split
between the Cypress Point and
Monterey Peninsula Country
Club courses today, change
courses tomorrow and the go
best pro-amateur teams will
battle in the final Monday. The
tournament carries a purse OF
SIS. 1000.
Spectators can't quite figure
what goes with Hogan. They
concede he isn't deliberately hid
ing in the weeds, for he made
little or no preparations for the
competition starting today. He
played a few easy rounds, in San
Francisco and elsewhere, mostly
for pleasure.
And he certainly hasn't tried
to pull his punches. His shots
have been true and his puts
have been dropping, which OBJ
servers say may be a tipoff on
the new Hogan" who obviously
lis playing a very relaxed game.
Actually, he appears to be in
far better shape physically than
when he put out everything ne
had last year in the National
Open at San Francisco, and still
found it wasn't enough to beat
Jack Fleck.
Having abandoned the tough
pro circuit, Hogan has prospered
physically. He is is pounds heav-
Iier and on him it looks good.
With Bing back on the course
he was so i'll last year he missed
his own tournament-and the
weather promising, this years
CROSBY clambake" shapes UP as
a dandy.

Dave Volk OF Baltimore, who
won with a sizzling performance
last year at Bladensburg after
announcing, with only a touch
Iof hurnor. his victory in ad.
vance. The bubbling southpaw
became only the fifth participant
in the quarter-century history
of the l5-game tournament to
top 2.l00. which he did by one
pin for an average of l40-l.
The world l5-game record
was set in this event in 1876;
when Oneil Wynne OF Norfolk
Va. rolled 2.l42.
Only three Washington bowlers
have won the United States. but
one of these did it three times
twice in succession. This double
distinction would have earned
for Aston Clarke a place in duck
pin history even without hi:
other great performances. Clarke
prevailed in 1934-37-38.
Jack Whalen won the inaugu-
raj tournament IN 1881 and Tony
Santini in 1943 OF the three
Washington victors, only Santin
is still active and. at so. will be
the oldest on the firing line to-
morrow. He's still a genuine
threat.
The tournament will be rolled
in three-flve game blocks OF
three shifts each. with the first
block starting at 8 am, the
second at 2 pm. and the third

To the victor will go $1,000
