ARCADIA, Fla., April 4. —This is where the Rattlesnake Man lives. That's the title by which Mr. George End is known down here. His is a unique profession, lie catches rattlesnakes, cooks them as food. Stranger yet. people eatthem. I ate some myself, more out of curiosity than desire. Possibly masculine vanity had something to do with it. The mere thou.jht of eating rattlesnake meat does something to your nerves. It’s a morbid challenge rather than a gustatory enticement. So in the end, with mock heroics, you succumb.

While he was about it he stared a small tru k-farm. To his dismay he found the farm produced more rattler than vegetation, and knowing more about such things than me. t people do. he decided on a novel experiment. What and knew that most people do not know is that the rattler for years has been looked upon as delicious food. The pioneers of the covered wagon days lived on them More than one famous chef has startled his patrons with the white meat of the rattler in rocktail form. to can the meat and distribute it nationally. It is proving increasingly successful. a a a a a a APPARENTLY the taste for "attlcr meat is not fixed by geographical boundaries or smart set whimsies.

New York and Chicago, of course, nave always been high up. I heard about the place from Mr. Sam Breadon. owner of the St. Loun Cardinals. He had been here the day before, and was quite enthusiastic.

NATION’S GOLF MASTERS PLAY AT AUGUSTA

Gene Sarazen Favored Over Bobby Jones Former Emperor of Links Just Sentimental Choice in Tourney. BY STIART CAMERON United Pre** Sport* Editor AUGUSTA, Ga.. April 4—Gene Sarazen was a 6-to-l favorite and Bobby Jones a sentimental runnerup at 8 to 1 today as America's greatest golf stars teed off in the Masters’ open golf tournament over the Augusta National course. Rated strictly on form in practice rounds the money placed on Sarazen is a legitimate investment. The Jones money is a gesture of love for the finest golfer the world has ever known. Bobby himself and O. B Keeler, his alter ego. don’t give Mr. Jones more than the remotest, outside chance of winning. It's true that Bobby, particularly because he is playing with the defending champion. Horton Smith of Chicago, will carry the bulk of the large galleries. : just as he is riding with a flock of betting dollars. But Jones isn't hit- | ting the way he did in 1930. his year [ of golfdom s only grand slam. Bobby’s Putting Goes Bad Jones, according to those who know him best, including Bobby himself, needs something in the way of a well-directed boot in the plus fours if he is to go places. Bobby says he simply can't arouse himself to the "scrappy surliness I used to have when I was a winner.” His putter, even in practice rounds and in yesterday's informal Scotch foursomes, played him false. Sarazen, meantime, has been playing spectacularly, even after discounting the brilliance often attributed to practice rounds. Following Sarazen and Jones there are seven aces listed at 10 to 1. They are Olin Dutra. Los Angeles, national open champion; Lawson Little. San Francisco, holder of the American and British amateur titles; Horton Smith, who won with an aggregate of 284 last year, but who has played poorly in practice; Harry Cooper, Chicago; Henry Picard. Hershey, Pa.; Johnny Revolts, Milwaukee, and Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. Y. Small Fortune on Outcome Ky Laffoon, Chicago, is the only 11-to-1 shot. Four are held at 12 to 1. They are Jimmy Thompson, the long-distance driver from Long Beach, Cal.; Tommy Armour, Chicago, winner at least once of all major pro tournaments; Biliv Burke, Cleveland, who captured the United States open crown at Inverness in 1931, and Wiffy Cox, veteran campaigner from Brooklyn's Dyker Beach layout. A small fortune is riding on the Augusta touvney. Bookies have reported a heavy flood of money, principally from Northerners who have stopped here en route home from Florida holidays. There's also a huge "Calcutta pool.” on which some 2000 chances at $5 each have been sold. The tourney itself carries SSOOO. with SIOO as top prize money.

-Down the Alleys BY BERNARD lIARMON

Leo Ahearn refused to fall in line i with the nucleus of the city's leading ten-pin spillers, who apparently declared a moratorium on high totals last night, and proceeded to step into the limelight on a 689 series. Gregory & Appel also played a lone hand in the team scoring, being the only aggregation to top 3000 during the evening's activities. Ahearn's top count came in the weekly session of the Indianapolis League at the Pritchett alleys and boosted his team to a three-time win over the Hitzelberger Chicken Dinners. Alex Kriner. with a 624. led the losers. Games of 1069. 1011 and 950 gave the Gregory Appel team a 3030 and an easy shutout victory over the opposing Hare Chevrolets. The Gregorys went over with the assistance of a trio of honor counts, a 645 by Carl Hardin, a 643 by Arch Heiss and a 621 by Johnny Murphy. The losers failed to place a man in the honor class. Gene Zvissler's 580 being tneir top series. Make Clean Sweep Witn a pair of 600 shooters in their lineup, the Wonderbars upset the Marmon Herringtons in all three games. Stub Matthews, with 651. and Bruce Johnson, with 639. were the big shots of the winners, who assembled a 2986 total with the aid of a 1053 finish. Nan Schott proved the best scorer of the losers, his 580 topping all individual efforts of his team mates. Coca-Colas san,. the Chambers Gas Ranges, winning ali three games with ease. Each team placed one individual on the honor roll, Frank Black having a 635 for the winners ar.d Jiggs Yager a 649 tor the losers. No 600 totals were produced in the Falls city Hi-Bru-Miller Tire series, won by the former team. 2 to 1. Jack Hunt's 576 was tops for the Brus and Dan Glubka's 598 proved best for the Tirerren. In the Russett Cafeteria-Rose Tire series. Doc Kemper of the former team scored the only honor count of the contest, a 604. Gib Smith had a 590 to pace the Rose team, which dropped a 2-to-l decision to the Russett quintet. Jailers Drop Pair Cook's Goidblume, which on the last time out in the Indianapolis circuit set anew season's record for team totals, was just another team during last night s session.

Indians Are Carded to Open Exhibition Schedule Today Against Vols at Nashville Tribe Players Without Batting Practice Since Last Friday as Showers Again Chase Squad Indoors: Pitcher Myles Thomas Reports at Mayfield. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sport* Editor MAYFIELD. Kv„ April 4—When and if the weather clears up in western Kentucky, the "double time” order will be issued by Manager Killefer and the spring training practice pace will be increased to make up for the many drills washed out by rain. The Tribe players are eager for work and they will fall in line and do everything possible to gain first class playing condition before th<_ j training camp stakes are pulled in Mayfield on April 13.

The boys tried outdoor drill yec- | terday but were on the field only a j short time when a heavy shower I chased them back to town and the j Legion gym. Games scheduled with Louisville on Tuesday and yesterday : were canceled on account of wet : grounds and now the opening jxhii bition tilt in Mayfield will be with the bewhiskered House of David barnstormers tomorrow*. The Hoosiers were slated to battle the Nashville Vols of the Southern Association in Nashville today. Nashville then will come here for games on Saturday and Sunday. The Tribe yannigans, in charge of Johnny Riddle, will mix it up with Louisville, in Union City, Tenn., on Sunday. This arrangement will permit most of the Indian training squad to see action over the week-end. Thomas Reports in Shape Pitcher Myles Thomas, righthander, pulled into camp late yesterday and reported himself in good shape. He accomplished a lot of w*ork in Florida and will not require much exercise to iron out the kinks. He practiced with the Boston Red Sox at Sarasota, Fla., and is ahead of his new mates on condition. He w*on 12 games and lost 14 with the seventh-place Saints in 1934 and turned in an earned-run average of 3.99. The Indians’ spring training squad will be complete today when Pitcher Jim Turner reports on the Tribe's visit to Nashville. He has been working out at his home in Tennessee and will hurl for the Hoosiers today. Bob Walsh also will occupy the Tribe mound a part of the game. The Indianapolis line-up will be as follows: Bluege, ss; Cotelle, cf; Stoneham, rs; Stephenson. If; Heath, lb; Bedore, 3b; Sherlock, 2b; Riddle and Moore, c; Turner and Walsh, p. Cooney on Sick List Cotelle will hold down center field in place of Johnny Cooney, who went on the sick list yesterday. Cooney is confined to his room w*ith a heavy cold. Manager Killefer is expected to change the batting order before the American Association season opens unless Otto Bluege shows better as a hitter. The guess is that if a change is made Johnny Stoneham will lead off and Sherlock will bat second. The Indians have been denied batting practice since last Friday and the pitchers are far ahead of the hitters. Therefore, when the weather clears practice will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until noon, then be resumed about 2 p. m. for a second long session. Some of the Indians joined Mayfield High School lads and played football on the Graves County Court House lawn yesterday. The addition of Jim Turner today will give the Indians a squad of 35 players. Dale Miller came to Mayfield to check the gate at the exhibition games, but so far his time has been spent trying to put the playing fiexd in shape. Manager Killefer has 17 pitchers on hand to assure the regulars plenty of batting practice when the sun begins to shine. Manager Killefer’s son, Tom, is pitching for the Stanford University freshman nine in California. Tom is 18. stands 6 feet 1 inch and weights 190. He is a southpaw. Dee Moore, rookie catcher, played winter ball in California and is in playing shape now. He tried out as and infielder, outfielder and pitcher before donning the mask.

GREENLEAF VISITS TWO CITY BILLIARD ROOMS Ralph Greenleaf. veteran pocket billiard expert of New York, was scheduled to appear at two Indianapolis billiard parlors for exhibitions today.

The contest extended through 89 innings, with both players gaining high runs of five. Sonny Pilz and A1 Hurst will meet tonight.

Slagel, Davis to Swap Punches in Armory Mat Tilt Giant Wrestling ‘Toughies’ on Lewis Card. A pair of "wrestling giants,” Karl (Big Boy) Davis, 236. and Sol Slagel, 235, will collide in the semi-windup attraction on the all-heavyweight wrestling card at the Armory next Tuesday night where Ed (Strangler) Lewis will appear in the main go. Davis, who hails from Columbus, 0.. and Slagel, the Topeka (Kan.) grappler, are specialists in the double-fisted style of offense. Matchemaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. has no definite announcement as yet on Lewis’ opponent. He plans to obtain an outstanding foe for the famous headlock artist and former heavyweight title holder. Carter figures the Slagel-Davis encounter will provide some thrilling action. The opening tussle will bring Mahtnet Youseff, 215, popular Turkish matman, against Pete Schuh, 235, of Galveston, Tex. The clever Turkish grappler has appeared on the last two cards and won both of his matches.
