SPORTS. Third Yec?r in Row as Golf’s Top Money Winner Looms for Par-Slashing Ben's "42 Collections Reach $4,775 With "Frisco Triumph Hershey Pro’s Great 279 Beats Hot-Finishing Snead by 3 Strokes By RUSSELL NEWLAND, Associated Press Sports Writer. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27— Benny Hogan, the best golfer in the country for money, marbles or chalk the last two years, is well on his way to making it three terms in & row. In the 1942 golfing gold rush, Benny the par-buster already has staked out two claims and made them pay. His latest feat was a mud-splattered victory in the San Francisco Open. He won $1,000 first money with a 9-under-par 279. For 72 holes Hogan battled a soggy, slippery course to lead the way from start to finish. Less than three weeks before he won in the Los Angeles Open, worth $3500 plus an extra $1,000 from the play-off gate receipts with Jimmy Thomson. In between the wins, he picked up extra change in a two-way tie for second place in the Qmkland tourna- ment. His total winnings for the first three P. G. A.-sanctioned tour- neys is $4,775. Wallops Par to Frazzle. ‘The Hogan method has paid divi- dends by walloping par to a frazzle. He let fly with a telling lead-off, 32-33—65 in the first round of the San Francisco Open. It was 7 under standard figures for the 36-36—72 California club course. The rest of the clan couldn't catch him from then on. After the first round, the event was suspended for two days due to practically unplayable conditions. Returning to action, he fired a 71, and in yesterday’s last two rounds posted 72 and 71, respectively. He finished in darkness and de- spits a bogey 5 on the last hole, carded an under-par round to earn the plaudits of a scant crowd cir- cling the green. Hogan, former Fort Worth, Tex., caddie, is the candy kid of Hershey, Pa, now and, as usual, the one to beat in every tournament. He un- doubtedly will be the favorite to knock over the 36-hole event at the | Rancho Santa Fe, last on the Cali- fornia leg of the winter circuit, this ‘week end.

Byron Nelson, winner of the Oak- land last week and twice a national champlon, was next with 287, He de- served much credit, starting as the favorite in the San Francisco re- newal.

DRILLING FOR CONTEST—Mrs. Fred J. Hughes, jr., the former Lisbeth “Skippy” Steig, one of the famous woman riders of The Star’s equestrienne team, takes her celebrated open jumper, Hi Ho, over a fence while training for the match between men and women riders at the President’s Birth- day Horse Show in the riding hall at Fort Myer tomorrow and Thursday evenings. Greenkeepers Enligh untold millions to the men who excited about this invader from job of keeping the beetle away from your shrubbery and your golf course by striking at him where he lives; before he gets to the middle of his life eycle. It seems an odd subject for a lot of men interested in grass and turf culture to discuss, but it isn't odd when you consider the inroads of the Jap beetle on golf course turf, particularly tees and fairways. The | putting greens have been so im- pregnated by lead compounds and other acids, notably arsenate of | lead, that the beetle shies away. But he concentrates on tender tee and | fairway turf, kills it and raises hob in general with golf course grass. It costs American country clubs many thousands of dollars a year to | combat this crawling army which first invaded American shores in 1916.

Butts Will Be Given Extended Contract As Georgia Coach By the Associated Press. ATHENS, Ga., Jan. 27.—Wallace Butts, who took only four years of college football coaching to tusn out his first bowl team, will get a new contract with the University of Georgia when his present one ex- pires at the end of this year. Georgia defeated Texas Christian University in the Orange Bowl at Miami, Fla., New Year Day. Butts, former high school football coach in Louisville, Ky., came to as head coach in 1939, and was granted a three-year contract early in 1940. An extension of his contract was voted by the Athletic Board last night and terms were left to an| Executive Committee. Ice Palace Loop Mark Is Rolled As Lucile Young Hits 395 Set Warming up for the Women's United States Open at Conven- tion Hall Saturday, Lucille Young, who has won more than her share of major duckpin tourna- ments, last night fired a season record score of 395 in the Ice Palace Commercial League at| Chevy Chase.

Bob Grigsby enriched himself to the extent of $35 when he won the Hyattsville Handicap tourna- ment with 435. Nip Hasson copped second money of $20 with 426. Other winners in the weekly three- game event were: J. Oram, third, 421; J. Logan, fourth, 418; R. L. Willis and B. Russell, fifth, 415 each. L.

Following up his big poke at the Brookland Recreation with top set of 417, the Covenant team roller paced highs of 627 and 1,752 to lead a 3-0 victory over Columbia No. 1. Russ Diehl was the big gun with 157—396 as Amity No. 1 swamped Columbia No. 2. Charley Copper’s 397 and Jim Chamberlain’s 382 enabled Canton to whitewash Eastern.

Japanese Beetle Still Is Golf Menace Despite Two ‘Cures’ Sessions; Watering of Fairways Defended By WALTER McCALLUM.

They cannot fight the on the needle and inoculated the grub with the so-called “milky dis- ease.” That grub became one of scores in which the disease In- cubated. Then the grubs were ground up, mixed with talc powder and the result sprinkled over turf. Result: Finish for the adult Japa- nese beetle. It is one of the ways science is combating this insect pest which ruins golf course turf. Another is use of arsenate of lead. Proponents of each method claim they have the cure, but the beetle still swarms on. Like the invaders of Malaya and the Philippines, they proceed by force of numbers, heedless of the toll taken by fire of the defenders. The Jap beetle is one of the major headaches of the greenkeepers of this area. They are finding out more about the bug and ita olimina- tion in a series of meetings held by the University of Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic Association of Green- keepers, . which were to wind up today. Speakers today at the final ses- sions of the short course for green- keepers at College Park included Dr. John Montieth of the United | States Golf Association green sec- | tion; O. J. Noer of Milwaukee, O. S. | Aamodt, Bureau of Plant Industry; Fred V. Grau of Pennsylvania State | College, and W. B. Kemp of the‘ University of Maryland. The two- day course is under the general di- rection of Dr. Ernest N. Cory of | College Park. | Speakers at yesterday's opening session included Dr. Cory, Fred V. Grau, Howard B. Sprague, Dr. R. P. Thomas and J. O. Pepper. O. B. Fitts, Columbia Country Club greenkeeper, defended fairway wa- tering as a medium for keeping golf courses green throughout™ the dry months, as several comments un- favorable to fairway-watered courses were made. “If we do not have fairway water- ing, we have very little grass in August,” said Pitts. “It is true that by artificially watering the fairways But if we didn’t have crab grass, we would have very little grass of any kind.” Fitts, of course, is right. Remem- ber those days of last summer when the turf became solid as rock and when you nearly sprained your wrists taking a divot from the flinty soll? Yes, fairway watering has many advantages, even though the initial cost may be high. Although the scientists are far from knowledge of the exact amounts of minerals drawn from the soil by seasonal growing of grass, they know that if these minerals, notably nitrogen, phosphate and potash, can be replaced, they will have little grass trouble. Manual replacement of these minerals may be the answer to brown patch con- trol on golf putting greens, accord- ing to Prof. Thomas. Dr. Sprague advocated that mower | blades on golf courses be raised to permit higher stands of grass. But there’s a rub there. In the spring, grass must be clipped fairly close. Otherwise the fairways will taken on the aspects of short rough. So the fairway mowing problem re- mains one for each greenkeeper to figure out for himself.

Grandpap Plays His Golf in ‘Cussing Holes' Bunker Sand on Golfer’s Shoes Is Tip to 5-Year-Old Out of the mouths of babes come words of wisdom that have the boys in the golf shop at Congressional holding their sides. Five-year-old Jimmy Sullivan, son of the Washington jockey who was killed in a spill on the Pacific Coast, wondered about golf. Jimmy Sullivan, prominent A. A. U. official and grandfather ©of the lad, ‘couldn’t answer his questions and turned him over to Jocko Miller, alde to Wiffy g:;x.d‘.;’o;ko took him down on enth green. . “That little hole there is flw} one they try to put the ball in,” explained Jocko. “What are those big holes over there?” asked the youngster, pointing to the bunkers. “Those are the holes they try to keep out of. They cuss when they get in them,” Jocko said. “Oh, those are the cussing holes,” said the boy. “But they get out of them, do they, and try to get in the little hole?” “That’s the dope,” said Miller. “And what do they say when the ball goes in the little hole?” asked “Sonny.” ‘ “They say, ‘Good shot,’ and grin,” said Jocko. “Oh, when they get in the big hole they cuss and when they get in the little hole they like it, huh?” questioned the youngster. “Yep, that's it,” said Jocko. The boy pondered that one and finally put the bee on his grand- Neighbors' Pin Feud To Aid Frat Match Ticket Sales Brookland, Rhode Island Avenue Stars to Settle Grudge at King Pin A bowling feud between two of the strongest leagues in the city promises to ald the sale of tickets for the February 8 eight-team fra- ternal matches at Convention Hall, when picked teams of Rhode Island Avenue Business Men's and Brook- land Merchants’ loops clash at King Pin Friday night at 8 o'clock.

Both finished prepping for the game yesterday by losing to public school opponents. Western topped the Eagles, 33-19, and Wilson downed the Johnnies, 56-36. Gonzaga began as though it would make a walkaway of the game at Western, bouncing to an 8-2 edge in the first period, but after that the going got rough.

The annual meeting of the Mary- land Game and Inland Fish Com- mission in Baltimore today probably will approve the suggested reduction in the trout creel limit for the sea- son of 1942 because there hasn’t been a single dissenting voice re- garding the change. As & matter of record, the idea was first brought up by anglers in the trout stream counties. If they can take & cut, from 10 to five fish, city people and out-of-Staters will have to—and like it. Knowing a reduced kill is neces- this year if the trout streams of the State are to be repopulated in the shortest possible time, there will be & few taking all the law al- lows. The open winter has made it pos- sible for the hatchery men to make lantings and thus make more room in the holding pools for the smaller trout. The April 15 opening will further facilitate the heavy spring stocking. There should be reason- ably good fishing this season in spite of the heavy mortality in the stream carry-over from the pro- longed drought. mh- Date Change Expected.

Before Dempsey finally got it out he had posed for a half-dozen pictures, shook two dozen hands and signed a baleful of autograph books.

Next came Goldie Ahearn, local agent for the wrestling trust, with a whole family whose only ambition in life was to see and feel “Jackie here,” said the poppa, pointing to a thin, fair-skinned youngster, “wouldn’t rest till he met Jack Dempsey.

But he couldn’t just yet, be- cause Ahearn was back with Mike Uline, owner of the rink, and most of his official family. Uline hadn’t seen Dempsey since Toledo. Jack hadn't even seen Mike there, but that didn’t prevent them from pos- ing for more pictures—Ahearn a step to the left with one arm draped around Dempsey, but well in the center. After that, and in succession, Dempsey posed with the chap who builds the fires at the arena, the one who freezes the ice, the one who melts it and an unidentified character who was merely stand-| ing there minding his own busi- ness. Ahearn posed with him so the fellow wouldn't be embarrassed. In between pictures, handshakes, get details of the collection for the President’s birthday fund ironed out. | “I met you in Fairmont, W.

I wasn't supposed to be working at shipbuilding or to know anything about riveting. They just asked me to pose for the shot.

Both Maryland and Catholic Uni- versity will face stiff boxing com- petition this week in their matches with Virginia and Miami, respec- tively, and both probably will be underdogs. ‘The Cavaliers, boasting victories over Virginia Tech and North Caro- lina, will feature 135-pound Willie Bernett, former scholastic South Atlantic champion, but little has been heard from Miami, which causes Coach Eddie La Fond of C. U. great concern. No news is bad news in this instance. Bernett will meet Tommy Jones, Maryland's rookie and undefeated southpaw, who has displayed evi- dence of developing into a top-notch battler. Tommy scored his third consecutive knockout last week while Bernett was putting the snore on North Carolina’s Milt Harris and their engagement is expected to be a battle of broadsides. The lightweight picture at C. U. isn't nearly as pleasing. Bernie Kelleyni, the inexperienced young- ster who got a draw with George Barnes last week when both suf- fered cut eyes, will be unavailable this week because of his five-stitch wound and there is no other 135- pounder in camp. La Fond, con- fined to his bed yesterday with a heavy cold, hoped to take command today in an effort to dig up a re- placement. Loss of more personnel at this stage would be fatal to C. U, for the Cards already are minus a light- heavyweight. Both La Fond and Bobby Gold- stein, Maryland coach, were satisfied with their men's work last week. With four knockouts to their credit, Goldstein could find little fault with the Terps. He does, however, think Herb Gunther is better than his record of one victory in three matches shows and looks for a de- cision for Maryland in the light- heavyweight match this week.
