A pre-race tip from the oldest to the youngest driver is given by Ralph Hepburn (left), 50-year-old speedster from Van Nuys, to Bill Sheffler, 28, of Los Angeles, before the start of today's 500-mile classic.

(UP) G. H. Micklem, former Oxford university golfer, eliminated the last American player from the British Amateur golf championships today when he upset Frank Stranahan of Toledo, in the quarter-finals, 4 and 3. Stranahan's doom apparently was sealed on the sixth hole when he dismissed his caddy after an argument and hired another one from the crowd. The incident turned the against Stranahan and obviously upset him.

The muscular Ohioan went two down at the turn and never regained the artistry which marked his fifth round victory over John Langley, British Walker cup player, 4 and 2, this morning.

It's true, maybe Mr. May was never an amateur.

Or maybe he has never studied the word and its meaning. As I get it, an amateur means a chap who accepts no financial reward, diametrically opposite to the professional, who does. Indeed, I fear that Mr. May doesn't give a tinker's bedoggone about the definition. I have to hand today the literature sent out by Mr.

May makes these tournaments pay; he lias tremendous crowds, and apparently always comes up with a profit, even though one year he had Joe Louis play an exhibition round during the tournament and gave him $2,000, I think it was. Another time he brought Sam Snead in from California, paid all his expenses and gave him $1,000 for an exhibition. He wants the players to wear numbers this year and their prize money will be 16 per cent higher if they do. But, I was saying, the indefatigable Mr. May is determined that the amateur is going to get something out of golf besides the train ride and maybe a cup.

Something he can use, like money. In his voluminous printed epistle he throws down the gauntlet to the USGA. He displays a copy of a letter he wrote to Charles Littlefield, president of the USGA, suggesting that organization boost the ante to the amateurs. They came back with a curt nothing doing; that they wouldn't even consider permitting more than $100 to go to a tournament winner. Mr.

May had cited to them that only the wealthier players could compete at distant spots and that in his own amateur tourney last year 125 of a total of 221 simon-pures came from Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin.

But after the go-to-heck reply, Mr. May in his brochure says he's giving the leading amateur $100 this year, but he warns that in 1947 his tourney will offer amateurs prizes with intrinsic value beyond that allowed by the golf association.
