However, despite Hogan's un impressive practice rounds, most experts feel he rates the favor ite's role because of his success in four other Opens and the fact he wants this fifth crown so much he can taste it.

The f)lca was made yesterday at the opening of the group's 23rd annual convention by Lovd Wright, former chairman of the California Horse Racing Board. " When a horse can run in ONew York on Tuesday and fly to California to race on Satur day, it is co longer a local pro position." Wright said. Wright, a Los Angeles attor ney and a past president of the NASRC, in asking for uniform rules said, "at the Kentucky Derby, Bill Shoemaker paid the penalty for the irresponsibility of the track." Shoemaker was suspended 15 days by the stewards at Church ill Downs for misjudging the finish of the Kentucky Derby. Wright pointed out that last year in a somewhat similar mis hap, stewards at Hollywood Park did not suspend the vet eran jockey. The attorney said an effort should be made to have those connected with racing "pull together under sensible uniform rules." Demaret also is familiar with the Inverness layout. He ap peared in eight four-ball tourna ments here and won four of them, three of them as Hogan's partner. Dapper Jimmy knows you can always expect strong winds at Inverness, and he's probably the best windy-day player on the pro circuit. Thomson Has Aim Thomson, the steady Austral ian who has won the British Open the last three years, would like to be the fourth foreign player to walk off with this championship. The last overseas winner was Ted Ray who won the 1920 crown on this same In verness layout in 1920. Snead has been trying to w in this one for 17 years and, accord- to the clubhouse gossip. impressed about breaking the record when he plays against the Phils Wednesday night barring accident.

THOMASINE SMITH Eagle Point Graduation at the Eagle Point High school re cently climaxed a year of ath letic achievements. Eagle Point enjoyed one of its finest years in sports history. The football team compiled a season record ol 10 wins and two losses in winning the Rogue league dis trict 6 A 2 championship. The Eagles, coached by Stan Smith, went into the state cham pionship play-offs where they reached the semi-finals. The team placed eight players. Jack Greb, Wayne Christian. Norman Hooper. Errol Trcsham, Dean Tibbits. Mike Kaiser, Larry D"d enhoff and Ron Nelson, on the Rogue league all-star team and Jack Greb was given honorable mention on the all state team r.nd selected as an alternate for the Shrine game to be played in Portland in August. The basketball team, coached by Art Thomupson, recorded 20 wins and five losses, winning the Rogue league championship. Los ing a sub-district play-off by one point Jack Greb and Ron Veach were selected on the sub-district TO ATTEND MEET New York aP St. John's Uni versity announced today it will send three runners, half-miler Lionel Stevfns and quarter milers Stephen Bartold and Lloyd Henry, to the NCAA track and field championships Friday and Saturday at Austin, Tex. Probably some of the cause i tor the apparent lack of enthus iasm over the iron man feat was the fact that Stan has been look ing forward to erasing marks from the record book for a long time. He has been overlooking no chances since he first hit the big leagues. "After a certain number of years, a player gets to the point where he has a chance at these figures." Musial explained. "One thing is you've got to do what you can while you're young. That's why I think I am reach ing these figures in about 15 years that many players didn't reach until 20." Cinch for Hall of Fama The new consecutive games mark he'll put in the National league handbooks Wednesday night is the only one of the feats he has accomplished already or is nearing which makes him a cinch for a top Hall of Fame berth at some future date. The mark he's now looking forward to the 3.000th hit could come by next May. He now has 2.850 17th on tlie all time list and if he matches last season's total of 184, he will wind up with 2,965 come September. i of supporters. Lack of Interest Cancels Match Providence. R. I.
