Bubby Worsham Lone D.C. Entry
Likely to Qualify in Junior Golf
By the Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 4—A mer
ry scramble loomed today in the
chase for the 64 match-play posi-j
tions in the National junior amateur
golf tournament.
Not only were ineie »i&uw>
qualifying spots but many of the
youngsters had hopes, however sllni|
for some, of overtaking Mickie Gal
lagher of Augusta, Ga., for medalist
honors.
Eighteen-year-old Mickie, the Au
gusta city junior champion, was the
only one of the 160 shooters to crack
par 72 for the 6,330-yard Lincoln
Country Club course in the opening
18 holes.
Of Washington's seven contest
ants. only Marvin (Bubby) Wor
sham appeared virtually certain of
a match-play berth after today's
18-hole round. Worsham posted a
77. five over par, and almost any
thing under 80 would make him a
qualifier.
Three other District representa
tives. Billy D. Wolfe, with 81, John
Eisinger with 83 and Eugene Wolfe
with 84 needed considerable im
provement to earn a match-play
position while the other three were
almost hopelessly out of the run
jning. Bob Halcombe with an 88
l Stanley Mouser a 90 and Dennis
Bolster a 94.
Gallagher, the lad from Bobby
Jones' home town, fired a 34-37—71
over the rain-drenched course to
take a one-stroke lead over a trio
of sharpshooters, Dow Finsterwald
of Athens, Ga . Bob Meek of Tulsa.
Okla , and Billy Hooper of West
Point, Va.
But for an inadvertent step. Fin
sterwald would have tied Mickie
for the 13-hole lead. Dow incurred
a penalty stroke when he stepped
on his ball while playing the 12th
holp.
Ben Dickson of McAlister. Okla .
and Douglas Campbell of Madison
Wis.. tied for the fifth position with
73s and back of them were 12 am
bitious kids who deadlocked at the
74 figure. _

DE LUXE
I The rain dampened the enthus
iasm of the scant galleries, but the
youngsters didn't mind. Don Stevens
jof Detroit even laughed over the
price of a new window pane. He
‘sent a wild drive crashing through
a window of a nearby house and
smilingly said he would be happy
to pay for the replacement.
He wasn't sure of the cost, but he
did know the erratic shot soared
him to a 6 on a par-3 hole.

he still hoped to be among 64 boys

Great Race Presaged
In Hambletonian by
Fast Workouts
By Hie Aisocioted Press
GOSHEN, N.Y., Aug. 4.—Veteran
harness horsemen look for a furi
o u s 1 y contested Hambletonlan
Stakes one week from today at Good
Time Park.
Their prediction came after a
workout session during which no
less than five prime candidates for
the $60,000 trotting classic Aug. 11
were clocked in better than 2:05
for the mile.
In the final heavy workout for
any of the 3-year-olds slated to go
in the harness derby, Harrison
Hoyt's Demon Hanover again as
serted his right to the favorite's
role. Demon Hanover worked two
eye-opening miles in 2:034s and 2:03
flat.
However, four rivals appeared ex
tremely sharp, particularly Rollo,
from the Coldstream Stud, Lexing
ton, Ky. Rollo, unraced yet this
year, but likely to be a post-time
favorite with the Demon, stepped
a heat in 2:05’*, then came back
with a sparkling 2:03.
These 2:03 miles were the fastest
yet registered in either a race or
workout by 3-vear-old trotters thus
season.
Other impressive miles were turned
in bv Bill Strang's Madison Hanover,
with 2:04; T. J. Zomow's Adeline
Hanover. 2:04'5. and Herman Landis'
Mercy Abbey, 2:0435.
Demon Hanover, w'ith his amateur
driving-owner in the sulky, worked
with Judge Moore and easily out
brushed Del Miller’s mount, which
is owned by W. N. Reynolds. How
ever, the judge reported in with
a 2:06.
Egan Hanover, the Saunders Mills
star, rated by many even with
Demon Hanover and Rollo. is sched
uled to make his last major pre
rare prep sometime later this week.
Anywhere from a dozen to 16
horses are expected to start in this
23d Hambletonian, w'hich probably
will be the third richest since it was
inaugurated in 1926.

Wish you had Wings ?
V/’OU’VE been there, we know—trapped
-*■ in the craw ling snarl of a sunny week
end’s traffic —tangled in the huffing, puffing
push of a city’s busiest rush hour.
And more than once you’ve wished for
wings —so you could duck all this, dodge
the jostle, the push, the stress and strain.
Well , look about you, good sir, for the long,
sleek new Buicks with the word “Dyna
flow”* on their taper-thru fenders.
9l)ynaf/otr Drita is options/ at extra cast ,r;;:
an Roadmastar madals only. ~ "
Why bother !
They’ve got the answer — to easy, open
road flight and to the spot where traffic’s
densest and the driving tension greatest.
With Dynaflow, you just sit there, press the
gas treadle —and steer!
At a crawling 5 mph, you roll as smoothly,
easily, lightly as at a winging 45.
At every opening left by a stalling, laboring
neighbor, you have instant-quick power
surge to let you take advantage of it.
Upgrades? A little pressure on the gas
treadle handles them. Stop signs? Your foot
brake stops you, holds you — till you can
feed the gas and go.
You forget shifting entirely-in fact, no
gears ever shift as you drive — yet the k
mordent any bottleneck breaks, you move
smoothly, swiftly up to boulevard speeds,
pacing the pack.
Smoothly did we say? The word is hardly
adequate. This velvety lift, this soaring
swoop of power, this utter freedom from
any break in your stride are things you
need to experience to judge.
Why not try it out? Your dealer will do the
best he can to arrange a trial — just as he’ll
take your order any time, whether or not
you have a car to trade.
See him —and you’ll stop wishing for wings!
