He said he was denied the priv
ilege of playing with his longtime
friend and tutor, Byron Nelson,
in the final round that his part
ner, Sam Snead, gave him the
"freeze" treatment.
"Sam hardly said a word to
me,"-said Venturi, who contrast

with the enthusiastic support giv

Larsen had a 9-1 mark with the
Yankees last year. He spent the

through he would have been the
target of the profession.
There has been a sort of un
written rule at Augusta in recent
yean that Nelson be bracketed
with the leader on the final day.
This procedure wasn't followed
this year apparently because of
Nelson's Interest in Venturi'i ca
reer.
Talk Vsaally Limited
"Furthermore," added Gene,
"most golfers don't want their
partners talking to them during a
round. I brought Tony 1 Manero
home In 1936 at Baltusrol and
I've done the same for Bob Jones.
Usually the extent of our conver
sations was 'you're away.'
Sarazen said he was one of the
members of the Masters Club,
composed of former champions,
who voted for the acceptance of
Venturi in the field.
"He belongs to the masters.'
Gene added. "He has a great golf
game and a wonderful competi
tive spirit. I think he is one of
the most promising1 golfers I've
ever seen. '
"But I'm sorry Ken saw fit to
criticize his hosts particularly
the Masters hosts. -They are the
finest hosts in the world."

The Salem Senators are finding
that spring training In "sunny"

he reported via telephone last
night. But the squad did manage
to get in some more important
