(Continued from Page 58) tees will be crab grass in hot weather, and bare ground in fall and spring until the new crab grass takes possession again. Better strains of bent, which will outperform the ones now available, will be developed. Up to now selections have been made for use on greens rather than on tees. The C-l strain has excellent qualities from the playing and from the disease standpoint, but is a slow grower and may not repair itself quickly under heavy play. A mixture of C-l and C-19 has possibilities and is worthy of trial in a small way at first.

Zoysia Matrella Promising There are some excellent tees of zoy-

sia matrella on the city courses a t Louis-ville, Ky., and Aubudon CC in the same city has 15 tees of the same grass. The turf is tight, excellent for play and remarkably f ree of crab grass, clover, weeds and turf diseases. Zoysia does not require frequent close cutting to keep the turf tight. This grass may be the answer for tees in regions where it does not winter-kill. Unfortunately, seed is not obtainable, so vegetative planting must be employed to develop turf . The clubs in Louisville grow the turf in a nursery and t ransfer it to the tee, because the time required to develop turf from direct planting in the tee is too long. Clubs in similar climatic regions would do well to obtain planting stock for a small nursery.

PENN MOWER PLANT MOVED.— Pennsylvania Lawn Mcwer Works, ac-quired by the American Chain & Cable Co. in 1944 is to have its mowers made in the plant at 1575 S. 6th St., Camden, N. J., which American recently acquired. Production in the modern 3-story con-crete building will be started this month. All correspondence for the Pennsylvania Lawn Mower division should be addressed to the Camden plant.

JIM NICHOLS JOINS SPALDING— Jim Nichols, the world's greatest one-arm golfer, has joined the staff of A. G. Spald-ing & Bros, as a pro representative and in sales promotion. Nichols got his s tar t in golf by chance. Having lost his r ight arm in a railroad wreck and his business in the 1929 crash, he tried his hand a t a round of golf as a recuperative measure at the suggestion of a couple of friends. His fu ture career began when he found a ten dollar bill on the course. With it he bought two golf clubs and took up the game seriously. Since then he has achieved a brilliant exhibition career. He has shot seven holes-in-one.

One of A. G. Spalding & Bros.' "Sports Show" cartoon-style newspaper adver-tisements has been rated as the "ace na-tional ad with men readers." by "Editor and Publisher" (Nov. 17) in No. 90 of the Advertising Research Foundation's Continuing Study of Newspaper Reading's list of best-read advertisements.

Notes from the San Francisco Area

Burlingame CC has purchased 15 acres from the adjacent Crocker estate and plans to construct nine new holes to re-place those closed and subdivided during the war. . . Harold Sampson, veteran peninsula professional and several times Northern California Open champion, will return as Burlingame's pro and will assist with designing of the new nine. Sampson left Burlingame in 1939—after 17 years service there—to become pro-manager at the California CC. . . Ar thur Brooks, who replaced Sampson a t Burlingame, recently resigned and returned to his for-mer post at the Los Altos G&CC.

Sergeant J im Ferrier, t ransplanted Aus-tralian who has been stationed at the San Francisco Presidio, won first money, $500, in a recent 54-hole Northern Califor-nia open championship played a t Tilden Park course in Berkeley. Ferr ier ' s 211

was a stroke better than Corporal Ed Wysowski's second place effort.

Pat ients a t the huge Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in Oakland are taking their swings on a 12-tee driving range on the hospital grounds today thanks to the Northern California PGA. . . The Section, headed by Eddie Duino of San Jose, with the aid of Northern California golfers, financed construction of the range and provided 250 clubs and 1700 balls as a s tar ter . Local professionals visit the range at regular intervals to provide in-struction for the patients. Earl Fry, Ala-meda Municipal Course professional, is project chairman.

Spalding & Bros, as golf pro representative through-out Long Island, Conn., Mass., and Miami, has returned to the com-pany a f t e r three years of service in the Ma-rine Corps. Enlist ing in October, 1942, Thomp-son served in the Mar-shall Islands, on Okin-awa and in Japan . He

received the rank of Major and won three citations before his discharge. Thompson's terri tory will again be Long Island, N. Y.

Af ter many years service in the golf club department in Mass. plant of A. G. Spalding & Bros., John St. Clair recently was appointed to com-pany's golf pro sales staff. St. Clair began his golf training in 1926 as assistant pro a t the Longmeadow (Mass.) CC. From there he went to Spalding as golf club inspector and techni-cal assistant. He was chief inspector of the golf club department when in 1942 he re-signed f rom the com-pany to take a war-time job with the Springfield (Mass.) Ordnance District office of the Army. In his new position St. Clair will represent the company in Westchester area in New York state.

Bert Purvis, golf pro salesman who lef t A. G. Spalding & Bros, to take a war-time position as an experimental a i rc ra f t mechanic, has returned to Spalding. Star t -ing with Spalding in 1925, Purvis served as manager of the golf department of the firm's F i f th Ave., New York City store until 1937. In that year he joined the Spalding pro golf department and subsequently represented the company in New York State and eastern Pennsylvania.

Bill Shaf ter rejoined the golf pro sales staff of A. G. Spalding & Bros, which he left in 1943 to enter the army. As a pro salesman for Spalding he represented the firm in the States of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Shaf ter received

BALANCED BAG BIG SUCCESS.— Since the first Balanced golf bag was made in 1943 a f te r OK by War Production Board, more than 75,000 of the bags have been sold. It 's believed tha t this light-weight patented bag has been the largest selling bag during the war years. It was welcomed by golfers who had to carry their own and by caddies, carrying sin-gle or double. With the war 's end a new standard model Balanced Bag has been introduced. The new Standard Balanced is made of finest quality duck, in suntan or white. The top is reinforced with magnesium and the bottom is weather-proof masonite covered with treated duck and webbing. The wooden rod which bal-ances the bag is of Appalachian straight-grain hickory. Of the past 35,000 Bal-anced bags shipped only one, and that shipped singly, had its stick broken in transi t . The shoulder s t rap is padded with synthetic rubber. The new Standard Balanced bag has room for 15 clubs. An extensive national advertising campaign on the bag is being run in the spring by the Balanced Golf Bag, North and Noble Sts., Chicago 22, 111. The Balanced bag has been a big seller a t $5 retail in pro shops.

Vinylite, a new flexible plastic sheet-ing made bv the Bakelite Corp., is being used for golf bags. The material is weath-erproof and mar-resistant, and it 's said not to crack or crock.
