Fred Corcoran,' PGA , tournament man ager, denied it m i talent scouting exhibition. "Anyway," he said, "I haven't fonnd one who can go to his left after a hard ball." . . . They're calling Hortoa Smith "Chamberlain-" He's never without his tightly wound black umbrella. . . Champ Bud Ward offering to let anyone putt for him. He got a par 72 for his first round, but could haTs had a (8 with any luck at all. . . Johnny Goodman's : bodyguard big. genial Stanley Dairies, who will be host pro at the 1941 amateur at the Omaho field club. "He's funny," Stanley said -after Johnny had treated himself to a 78 for the first round. "He doesn't worry about anything. Just gets out and plays when he has to." Joe LoeU, a sartorial mas terpiece, attracting his own gallery Just walking over the coarse. Says golf is tougher than fighting. Plays 45 boles a day now. ... TGood for ma legs," he says, "i played lot before I fought that, that what's his name1 the time last time I fought." ... Joe's op ponents now know jnst how big they loom to him. He can't even think of their names. ... ETery player -had his jinx holes tle first day. With Ward it was any of the short ones. Johnny Fischer found the third and ninth ' his nemesis. "I'm rusting in com petition," he says, and there's a lot of difference between this and practice rounds. ... Dick Cliapman was going great guns the first day until he was short on a putt. After that he started jumping at the ball. Fred Corcoran was talking about the competitive Instinct and the difference between a match player and a great match player. "Sarazen, Hagen, Jones and Armour stand out in my mind as great match players," he said. "I've often seen them drive short on purpose in a match so they could shoot for the pin first and give the other fellow something to worry about. Ha gen, who won five PGA tourna ments, always said, he tried to make the easy shots look hard and the hard shots look easy. "I remember PGA match; he was playing with Joe Tstrnesa. Hagen's ball dropped among 'some frees, but be had a - clear shot to the green. He fretted over the shot like It was the toughest in the world. When he finally made it he put It right to the pin. Turn ess with a ' - simple fairway hot, then dumped his right la to : a trap. :- s Those four fellows also play ed their shots "wisely. Ton won'Jt find many players who- place their drives. . With most of them It's just 'bang' - right down the middle, without thought of what the second shot would be like. It Snead had Jones for a caddy he'd go around in nothing. Sam has all the shots, but he doesn't have the instinct for playing the ball to the right spoU v The good match players take) advantage of the ether , fellow's mistakes. And do their ' best to make the other fellow make mistakes. Tow don't see Harases , coddling his oppo nent. No, sir. He fairly growls at them.

The postponement was ordered after apple and pear growers pro tested that the October 1 date would interfere with packing in the middle of the pear and apple handling season. The existing definition which will remain in effect until Dec. 1 for apples and pears, exempts from the wage-Jiour law estab lishments engaged in processing operations within a radius of 10 miles of the raw material if they are located in the open country or a town of less than 2500 pop ulation. The new regulation dropping the mileage and population lim itations, exempts as within the area of production those estab lishments employing 10 persons, or less.

The national amateur . champion from Spokane, Wash., thrown In first against a veteran familiar with the Winded Foot course and then against a youngster who rates as one of the best in the south, came through with 56 holes of three-un- der-par golf that shunted them both to the sidelines and sent Mm into the third round in defense of his title. Sure of himself all the way Ward knocked out: 54-year-old Bi lls Knowles of Rye. NT, In the first round of match play by and S and then whipped Freddy Haas of New Orleans, a former Walker cup star, S and t. Southerners Eliminated Haas' elimination removed the last southerner. Of the If players who survived today's "sudden death" program, two are from the far west Ward and Pat Abbot, of Pasadena, Calif., runner-up in 1938; five are from the middle west including former Champion Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati; and nine are from the east, among them two other ez-titleholders, WiUie Turnesa (19SS) and Jess Sweetster (122). - This opening day of man-to-man play was distinctive chiefly for its lack of a major upset. There was a surprise of sorts in. the first round defeat of Art Doering Chi cago lad who carried Ward to 35 holes in the 1939 semi-finals by 20-year-old Otto Greiner of Balti more. Greiner won by 4 and 3, and proved his win was no fluke by beating Jack Hoerner of Glen view. 111., 2 up in the afternoon. Four years ago he was good enough to go to the semi-final round of the national public links championship. Strafaci Stages Fight For sheer fight, the performan ces by Frank Strafaci of Brooklyn undoubtedly took the prize. One down through the 15th in the morning to Doug Ford of Tuc ka li oe, NT, New Tork state junior cnamplon and son of a Maasachu setts pro, Frank le squared the match in the 16 th and won It on the 18 th with a par when Ford muffed a short putt. His second time around, the outlook was far darker for the chipper little former public link- ster. This time Bob Cochran of St Louis had him three down -with three to go. But Cochran lost the 16th to a Strafaci birdie 4, stum bled to a fat 6 and a bad 5 on the 17 th and 18 th, and lost out on the 19 th when the Brooklyn lad laid him a stymie. Third round pairings include Bud Ward vs. Pat Abbott. Husband's Friend Woos, Then Shopts RENTON.
