Wayne, N . J., recently helped Pro Andy LaPola observe his 25 th anniversary w i th the c lub wi th appropr ia te ceremonies , . . P. J. Boatr ight , assistant executive direc-tor of the USGA, says he doesn't see any prospect of p lay ing the Nat ional Open under l ights in the foreseeable fu ture.

Discussing slow play a short t ime a g o , , Joe Dey , the USGA's executive director, brought up a point to w h i c h the pros should give serious thought : "Tourna- ! inent f ie lds aren't as large as they could be because of slow p lay . " . . . In 1946, Dey said, 172 players were qual i f ied for the Open , , . In 1959, the start ing f ie ld had to be reduced to 150 because t h e * USCA fe l t it couldn ' t get the added start-ers a round the course . . , T w o reasons advanced for the slowness by Dey are: . Too m u c h money is r i d i ng on every putt and so the players take more t ime get t ing l ined up , etc., and qu i te a few of the boys enjoy hamming i t up on T V . . .

Another headache for PGA tournament I officials popped when the Nevada Gaming

Hoard moved to revoke Frank Sinatra's gambling license on charges that as co-owner of the Cal-Neva Lodge, Sinatra had been host to Momo Salvatore (Mooney) Giancana, Chicago mobster, described by

1 the FRI as one of 12 men heading a na-tional crime organization and on the Ne-vada board's list of undesirables whose presence may result in loss of license to . operate a gambling joint . , . The Frank Sinatra Open-Invitational for $50,000 at t

Canyon CC, Palm Springs, is on the PC A calendar for Nov. 7-10 followed by a pro-am on Nov. 11 for $10,000 . . . To risk* sharing Sinatra's affection with a party the FBI and the Nevada Gaming Control Board regard as unsavory, is not consider- , ed by many golfers to be in the best in-terests of the game. ^

Coif course equipment and supply man-ufacturers and dealers and golf playing * equipment manufacturers are complaining' that there are too many "shows. . . . Course suppliers say they have not only the primary expense of the GCSA annual exhibition with cross-country jumps, but costs in money and time of exhibits and ̂ demonstrations at turf conferences, local association and experiment station affairs* now are out of line , , . Course equip-ment men add that study and discussion ot fe

test plots which are unique and valuable* purposes of the "field days" cannot re-ceive desirable concentration while demon-strations of equipment are being conduct - " ed.
