The washout came with 11 threesomes still on the course. It was a bitter blow for some, a break for others.

The Derby Open Sponsors Club will hold its first dinner Tuesday night at the Louisville Country Club.

It is a stag affair. Heyburn again warns sponsors who will play in Wednesday's pro-am to bring their own caddies. The local contingent for the Derby Open includes pros 9f'S vow circuit play and stands 14th on the list with $7,517. In 1957, he won the St. Paul and Miller Opens back-to-back and last year his victories were in the Thunderbird, Phoenix, Baton Rouge and Chicago Opens.

Venturi, who says his mission in life is to become the greatest golfer in the world, is a prodigious practiccr, hitting balls for 20 hours a week when not on tour and for 45 minutes a day when on the circuit. Unlike Doug Ford, who says he aims for a nice chunk of prize money in each tournament, Venturi says he sets his sights on first place in every tournament he plays in. "I'm playing to win always," he says. 1 under a proposed five-year "slave contract." The New York State Athletic Commission unanimously rejected Davidow's application and indirectly suggested that Johansson's father, Jens, serve as the European champion's manager when he meets world titleholder Floyd Patterson at Yankee Stadium on June 25.

Los Angeles, said he would pare the squad down BYSWDEBAKEB By JIMMY BROWN At last year's second Kentucky Derby Open at Seneca, one of the most popular queries was "Where's Venturi?" Many speculated that he re membered Seneca's rugged hilV; from having played there in the 1951 National Tublic Links Championship, in which he lost a 19-hole match in the quarter finals. The truth was that Venturi had a prior commitment to make a movie short and wired his regrets to the tournament committee. Early this week the committee working on next week's third Derby meet received its most pleasant surprise so far. He wired in his entry for this year's meet. it another in a teriet on the profeuional circuit's itnrt cho will be at Seneca for the third Kentucky Derby Open May 28-31.) The committee's delight is understandable.

Right now, Venturi, a 28-year-old D3ly City, Cal. resident, is one of the most desirable entrants in any golfing event. Although Venturi stormed into prominence as an amateur when he led the 1956 Masters for three rounds before losing by a stroke to Jackie Burke, his professional performance has solidified his position as one of golf's top gallery favorites. Winning money has not been one of the Venturi problems. He joined the pro tour in June of 1957 and made $18,761 the rest of the year to finish 10th.

Last year he was third with $36,267.

Russia controls 10 to 12 voles in the International Olympic Committee, which opens its meetings today. With the support the United States can muster, Russia's endorsement might be enough to tip the scales for Detroit. Tokyo is Detroit's chief rival. Russia reportedly would like to display its athletes in the United States for propaganda reasons. By unofficial tabulations, Russia defeated the United States at the last games in Melbourne in 1956.
