W Officials of Golf International, promoters of the wortd's second largest links show the $100,000 Dallas Centen nial and Texas International Opens in May predicted Thursday that income would be more than $220. 000. This would insure a profit on the first year's operation. Such success would result in the ante being raised, said Jim Ling, chairman of the board of Golf In ternational, an organization of wealthy Dallas men. And he added that GI definitely was aiming at surpassing George May's golf extravaganza at Chi cago, the world's largest tourna ment. Ling said that May's total was $126,000, not including a $50,- 000 exhibition tour for the winner. PGA Made Room Ling also told newspapermen Wednesday night the tournaments one wilh $30,000 prize money and the other $70,000 were designed both as a civic venture and with the idea of making money, Ling declared they would have to be virtually total flops before there would be thoughts of abandon ment. So big is the show and Ling forecast an attendance of at least 100,000 that the PGA cancelled two tournaments and a possible third in order to make room for it on the golf tour. He said the tournaments already were assured of virtually every major player, that he believed Ben Hogan, the links great who has been in virtual retirement since the last National Open, would play here as a cooperative gesture (Hogan lives at Fort Worth, 30 miles from Dallas), and that Sam Snead, always a top attraction, would compete. Snead hasn't been playing many tournaments lately, -v r top . Kace biing Acfoss Sfcait Yieforia Raises Cash Prize for Tboiniis And Lunwdon VICTORIA, B.C.
