come his recent troubles on the greens, will be shooting for his fifth U.S. Open title, and the oddsmakers apparently feel he’ll get it because they have installed him as the favorite. Seven other one - time Open champions are in the field besides Hogan. They are defending titlist Cary Middlecoff, Julius Boros, Lloyd Mangrum, Lew Worsham, Jack Fleck, Ed Furgol and Gene Sarazen. All of them will know they have been in a battle before they are through with narrow - fairwayed Inverness, a course that winds 6,919 yards and has a par of 34-36—70. Estimates of the winning score ranged as high as 290, a total of 10 strokes over par for the four rounds. Watch “Old Guys’’ The gallery experts all warned “look out for the old guys," referring to the likes of Hogan. Sammy Snead and Jimmy Demaret, who has taken on a new lease on life recently. But there was also ample support for such younger men as Australia’s Peter Thomson, three-time British Open champion; Mast e r s’ champion Doug Ford and PGA titlist Jackie Burke. While some of the youngsters like Dow Firisterwald, Gene Littler, Arnold Palmer and Jay Hebert figured to outstrip many of the veterans oft the tee, Sarazen pointed out that the prize money might well be won or lost on the greens. “It’s going to take a man who can putt fast greens," he sad.

“Demaret was eight feet from the < pin oh the ninth hole and couldn’t get down in two.” i House Hearing On Pro Sports Monday WASHINGTON (UP) - Walter O’Malley, Brooklyn Dodger president whose answers frequently confuse his listeners, and Stan Musial, a baseball star who lets his bat do most of his talking, are among the witnesses who will be called when the House hearings on professional sports begin Monday.

of the hearings. “The contradictory Supreme Court decisions dealing with the applicability of the anti-trust laws to professional sports activities must be resolved by the Congress," Celler said.

The court twice previously ruled baseball was not subject to these rules but hinted that Congress should revise the laws to put baseball under anti-trust regulation in handingd own its ruling on football.
