itorial Correspondence
Ardmore, Pa., June 10 If
be sore. One of the New York
him as "the urea oia man.
Ben isn't old. And if he is tired, then the mor,e credit to him.
For any golfer who feels tired but can play a tough course like
this Merion layout on a day like this sweltering around 90, with
humidity the same and after playing 35 holes he has to make a
par on the 36th to stay in the running and DOES it ! ! !
Well, we would use some other more fitting term to describe
one of the greatest golfers who ever lived, and the gamest com
petitor in any sport in the world today.
And among the sports we include that of fighting the "Grim
Reaper" when he has two strikes on you, your body is all smashed
up, because in a motor-crash you threw yourself in front of your
wife to save her life. And that was only around 18 months ago
if we recall correctly. "Tired old man" indeed!
e e e e e
However, if this New York sports writer gave Benny the
worst of it, the 15 or 20 thousand people who followed the final
day of the 50th Annual "National Open" did NOT.
It was truly a Ben Hogan day.
Not only did everyone or nearly everyone follow him and
his partner Middlecoff but everyone was boosting for him to
win. Come to think of it "boosting" is too mild a word. They
were and we mean this literally hoping and PRAYING for him
to stage what would have been one of the greatest "comebacks'
in the history of American sport.
The hie- moment came at the 15th when Hogan took a five on
a very rough four-par hole which put him three over par. Fazio
and Mangrum his two opponents (and already in) were tied at 287
for the 72 holes, so Ben had to get three straight pars to win, and
two pars and a bogey to tie.
Any golfer who has ever seen this Ardmore course will ap
preciate what a spot that was for the "little bantam." Here were
oathered the ton colfers of the entire country, pro and amateur,
and not one had come within eight strokes of breaking par.
The next hole. No. 16. Hogan
his putt and had a hard one coming back for a four. As usual he
took a long time sizing things up, walking back and forth, pulling
up his slacks, squatting down, looking this way and that. He had
in ant hie nnr or else!
The ball was hit firmly and true a mite too hard it hit the
further end of the cud but dropped in. The roar and applause that
went up from that mob and it
behavior could have been heard
Broad a dozen miles away.
Only two holes left only two more pars to win!
No. 16 is a three-par, down-hill "dog-leg" a short pitch for
pro but it has to be exactly on the line or there is trouble.
A muffler! crnan went un as Hogan sliced and caught the
left-hand sand-trap. His explosion was on the beam but too strong,
just missing the trap opposite. Again most careful calculating, but
ihi timo the hall refused to riroD and Ben was FOUR over par.
The final hole Is a heart-breaker up hill, through a cut in thick
woods even old Doctor K would be satisfied with a seven. (Fazio
made a five on it. Ferrier a six) The heat was certainly on, there
was a record-breaking gallery stretching solid on Doth sioes irom
tee to green, there was silence but a tense expectant silence, even
the boys and girls in the NBC and CBS short-wave jeeps, took off
their head-phones and stood up.
And there is another thing to say for Hogan. If he ever gets
jittery, is ever anything but completely cool and collected, he
never shows it. (At least he never has when we were about.) He
has lost some of the SPRING in his walk that he had before that
near-fatal accident, he sits down more often, but of the half-dozen
golfers we followed today.he showed the least nervousness and
irritation. Ferrier and Ransom for example (the latter we never
heard of before but he played a beautiful game) got shaky several
times, the former taking a six on No. 1 and the latter, on the
seventh, walking away from his teed-ball a couple of times, finally
asking the gallery to please stand still and be quiet.
But to return to that final hole.
Hogan's drive could hardly have been better, straight as a
string and nice distance. His second a wood, was on the green and
another one of those ear-splitting yells went up as the gallery
broke into a run for the "kill" nearly killing those who no longer
could qualify for the volunteer fire-department.
So again the heat was on. But not so intense THIS time for
sinking the putt for a three meant victory and as stated one
of the greatest in the history of sport but a four meant a tie and
a ploy-off another chance at the $4000 which considering very-
thing wasn t so bad.
Well, as everyone knows by
10 sinK DUl tne par was nut umiuuii su mc nui
Smiling broadly for the first time, Hogan strolled toward the
cliihhmisp. was corraled bv newspaper photographers, made to
stand up with Fazio and Mangrum, who also looked relaxed and
happy the competitors for the morrow having their pictures
taken with their arms around each other, and the 15,000 or so
gallery, broke up and went their respective ways.
Later: , , , .
Speaking of that gallery In that terrific heat, we would have
liked to have had that soft drink concession. The great hazard
frr, ih nopininra' slunrinnint was the emntv bottles covering
the course. We venture to say the club cleanup crew worked most
of the night getting the course ready for the play-off. (Wish we
could stick around for it, but no can do.)
A n4 ikarn nm nmnonsnllnns. The callorv this aflernoon
(Sunday) should be larger than yesterday and yesterday s from
the spectators' standpoint was one hundred times too big. Con
sidering its size, the desire of all hands to see and the impossibility
of more than 20 per cent doing so, we will say that mob was
well-behaved. Perhaps one reason was they were so well
marshalled and policed. Also cameras, movie or otherwise (except
bv the accredited press) were proniDitect. nna n anyuiic
above a whisper with a player at the tee, there were "shushes
from all over the place, as well as by the marshalls. It was a
wonderfully manuged tournament.

Washington Treats
Truants Gently,

Washington (U.R) It's spring
and truancy temptation Is on the
wing but here in Washington
there is no such thing as the
old-time truant officer.
The "big, bad men" have
given way to young women,
sympathetic and attractive,
known as "attendance officers."
Moppets in the capital are led
back from the ball game and
fishing hole by Mrs. Alice Shel
don, attendance director for 113,-
000 Washington school children
for 15 years, and her assistants.
Most children are not real
truants," Mrs. Sheldon said.
"They only succumb to the temp
tations of the season."
Chronic truants, who some
times are committed to children s
institutions for the remainder of
their education, often are vic
tims of a maladjusted home life,
she said.
'We try to find the underlying
causes for continual non-attendance,
using a quiet, common-
sense approach, rather than the
police approach, she said.

Horses & Women
"Most small women rely too
much on their size," writes a
Louisiana reader, who savs her
own height is 5 feet 11 inches.
"The small women think all they
have to do to get a man is to be
cute and coy. Holding him will
take much more than that. The
clinging vine technique won't al
ways do it. Clinging vines of any
size can be very nauseous. Being
tall has disadvantages, but so has
being 5 feet and under. No tall
man likes to dance with a eirl
whose head nestles In his stom
ach. Unlike the shorties, the tall
girl does not knock herself out
trying to be cute. Therefore, she
can put more effort into being a
good sweetheart, wife and com
panion.

Sidelights
So Joan Crawford, who al
ready has adopted four children,
is going to adopt two more.
Never heard of anybody having
six adopted children. Is it a
record? ... It is said the French
have at least one book on every
imaginable subject. The British
also appear to cover a lot of ter
ritory in the literary field. I
note the British author. Dr. C.
Willets Cunningham, is writ
ing a history of underclothes
from the Middle Ages to the
present.
Please Note
John L. Osborne, a 95 year old
Kentuckian. has 289 living de
scendants; twelve children, seventy-six
grandchildren, 163 great
grandchildren, thirty-eight great-great-grandchildren.
John should
do all right for presents on
Father's day. Incidentally, what
state would you say tops the na
tion in the matter of large fam
ilies? I believe it is Massachu
setts. I also think Boston has a
higher average of large families
than any major city in the nation.
Those 10 Cent Shave
Prices Gone Forever
Sacramento (U.R) Union bar
bers rubbed their eyes and took
another look but there it was, a
large sign advertising 15 - cent
haircuts and 10-cent shaves, in
downtown Sacramento.
What's more, "Wilson's Sani
tary Barber shop" proudly ad
vertised "union wages and union
hours established in 1879."
The sign, painted on a brick
wall, came into view with the
tearing down of an old building.
Older residents recalled that as
children they received a big bag
of candy from the enterprising
barber along with every hair
cut. According to the sign, Wilson's
also dealt in "Corn and Bunion
Killer, Chilblain Killer, Dand
ruff Killer, Hair Grower and
Fresh Egg Shampoo Compound."
All services were "money back"
if the customer wasn't satisfied.

Man Plans Barrel
Trip Over Falls
Middle of July
Niagara Falls. Ont. (U.R)
Curiosity may entice a 31-year-
old daredevil to plummet over
Niagara Falls in a plastic barrel
July 15.
Major (t h a t's his christian
name) Hill said he wanted to
cover the entire stretch of the
Niagara river from the famed
Canadian Horseshoe falls to
Queenston.
"It's just curiosity." he told
skeptical reporters.
His chariot for this unosal ride
will be 12 feet lone, four feet in
diameter, and will have six air
tight compartments.
Major is attempting something
that even his Hill family prede
cessors have not tried.
Red Hill, Sr., contented him
self with conquering the rapids
below the mighty falls, while
other members have devoted
their spare time to rescue work
and life-saving inventions for
trips around the falls.
"But I'm going to complete a
trip from the Whirlpool Rapids
downstream to Queenston," Ma
jor said confidently.
He admits there is a drawback
to the whole project.
"There's been a considerable
amount of water removed for
power."
A glance at the record of what
happened to previous intrepid
barrel-jumpers over the falls
doesn't appear to give Hill too
bright a future in life.
Charlie Stevens tried the feat
in 1930. He was smashed to
pieces in his wooden barrel.
George Stathakis of Buffalo
plunged to his death in a one-ton
wooden barrel the same year.
Bobby Leach, in 1910, fared
somewhat better. He spent only
18 weeks in hospital. Leach
slipped on a banana peel later,
broke his leg, and died of gan
grene. On the credit side, however,
Annie Taylor managed to sur
vive in a wooden barrel and a
French Canadian, Gene Lussier,
performed the act in a rubber
ball back in 1928.
Best Sellers Unable
To Remain Popular
Wilkes-Barre, Pa. (U.R) If the
best sellers of 1950 are read 50
years from now, it will be extra
ordinary. The Osterhout Free library
has checked among high school
students on the eight best selling
books of 1900. Only two still are
in steady use the two still list
ed as required reading at nearby
Pringle high school.
Except for Mary Johnston's
"To Have and to Hold" and
Booth Tarkington's "Monsieur
Beaucaire," the books "every
one was reading at the century
mark are gathering dust on the
shelves.

no sex appeal."
He couldn't give one away, he
said. -
"It tears like paper ... It
changes color and gets a rusty
brown . . . and it looks like a
beat-up old rag in no time."
Teitelbaum pooh poohed the
rumor that Hollywood's dazzle
dolls have to struggle along with
last year's $15,000 minks be
cause they can't pick up the tab
on those $75,000 chinchilla jobs.
"I've read about $75,000 chin
chilla wraps," he snorts. "But
I've never seen one. And I don't
think anybody else has, either.
I can buy the makings of a top
chinchilla for around $4,000 and
make it up for another $300.
Stars Can't Afford It
"But I'd have as much luck
peddling it to an actress as I
would trying to sell Jane Russell
a pair of falsies."
Stars nowadays can't afford to
throw their money away, Teitel
baum went on. And Chinchilla
just isn't worth those fancy
prices.
"It has some kind of place In
the fur business," he said. "But
not at the top. It's way below
sable and mink and even stone
marten."
Teitelbaum admitted it was
must equipment" in the old
days of silent screen vamps.
"The sirens sported lots of
it," he shrugged. "The kind that
was imported from Peru and
cost plenty. But they didn't have
business managers around to tell
'em the facts of life.
Must Get Nickel's Worth
"Stars nowadays have to get
their last nickel's worth out of
ineir iurs. Ana cnincnilla s no
bargain. Our girls can't afford to
oe suckers.
Teitelbaum was lust as frank
about the fancy prices dreamed
up by press agents for mink and
saoie.
Whenever I see a picture of
a stnr wearing a 'S50.000 mink
coat . he said, "I let out a big
ha-ha. Black mist mink, the
finest of all. seldom costs more
than half that.
"And most actresses never
pay more than $15,000 for their
minks."
If they really wanta go de
luxe, he said, they splurge on
sable.
"I've pinned price tags up to
$50,000 on extra-special Russian
sable," he explained. "But I don't
sell many of 'em. Most of the
girls buy sable in the $20,000
class."
