(AP Wlrephoto). SPORT SHOTS By HAROLD V. RATLIFF, Associated Press Sports Editor DALLAS, May 1 Colonial National Invitation at Fort Worth has become a high spot on the golf trail. It probably is the most perfectly operated tournament in the nation. It costs about $30,000 and is designed as a great golf just every aspiring linksman 'shooting with the hope of landing at least the $175 last place prize.

It is not under the jurisdiction of the PGA although the PGA cooperates with it by furnishing a golf clinic and the scoring setup In truth, tho PGA does not like Invitation golf wonts only open tourneys In which all the touring they range from 45 to play. This probably is the last one of its kind to bo maintained. If anybody else trios to start one, the PGA will nip it in the bud by getting the players not to participate. But the Colonial has grown Into a fixture. It ranks with tho Masters at Augusta, in prominence.

It, in fact, is more exclusive than the Masters and more popular with the golfers who complain that they get "gouged" at every turn at Augusta and are not treated like celebrities aa at Fort Worth. The Colonial is the only tournament that pays all club house expenses (Including meals and caddie fees) for the players. It is one of 15 tournaments in the nation with a $15,000 purse. It has the finest set-up for the press of any tournament on the world. An air-conditioned room, private score board, cigars for your correspondent.

It is the only tournament with a telephone at each hole so progress of play is known at the club house almost as fast as it occurs The National Guard mans these phones. Box scores are furnished on all players. A sports writer can get the news without risking his tender skin to the rays of the sun or the hot winds that sweep over the rolling hills. Speaking of golf, the National Open is likely to be held in Texas in 1952. Northwood Country Club of Dallas is going after it and has a most excellent chance of getting it.

Raymond Gafford is the pro at The National Open was held in Fort Worth in 1941. Texans figure that with the great contribution their state is making to the game and because Texas covers more territory than any other state, they are entitled to the National Open at least every ten years, Max Highflll of Colonial at Fort Worth is ready to help Dallas get the National Open. He's already pledged his aid. Max is quite a power in Texas and national golf. Hogan Gets Settlement.

Ben Hogan got $150,000 from the bus company whose vehicle figur- ed in the crash with his automobile near Van Horn, Texas, in February of 1949 The great golfer was in a hospital for months and it was by he never would play the game again. He made a fine comeback 11 months later, however, by tying for the Los Angeles open title. He never did announce the amount of the settlement with the bus company and neither did the bus company, but we have found that Ben received $125,000 in damages and $25,000 for hospital, doctors, etc. Sam Snead, the great West Virginia No. 1 man in the when ho learned Ben got that amount: "Gee, it would take me seven years to save up that much money." Hogan, who used to be a rather glum Individual, Is now one of the most cheerful men you'll find.

He smiles even when he shoots a high round. Snead cracked: "Well, who wouldn't smile with all that money to spend?" Jlmmle Demaret, tho colorful Texan who is always the brightest spot on tho golf tour, made the classic crack of the Colonial tournament. A dog had run on the green and picked up Demaret's ball seven feet from the pin. They got the ball back and Domaret shot, missing his putt. Said Jimmie: "My gallery is going to tho dogs."

The list of entries thus far points to one of the most successful of Invitational tournaments at The course here. With 40 entries In the first week, it Is possible that the final figure will come to a rather hefty figure.

Also gratifying Is the number of younger golfers that arc developing Into real players. It is possible that there will be a new champ crowned this year. Corslcana would rate higher but for the fact that the game was not organized until 1935, and that left out the 6-year string of star football players resident here from 1928 on to the formation of the association, when the Tigers -were in the state playoffs almost every year. The City Cab softball team here Is looking for opponents, according to a team spokesman.

A. B. Horn called our hand In naming the Corslcana boys who have played in tho north-south THSCA football game since the event was opened in 1935. Horn says we left" out one Spencer in 1940. Not being here that year, we weren't sure that the little speed merchant played in the classic.

The doc says that Spencer made the only touchdown for his team in that game. That makes 8 boys from Corsl- cana who have played In this tilt, when you include Howard Crap- man, who is slated for the event this fall It might be mentioned here that Corslcana doesn't rate among those sending the most boys to the game during the years.
