These top prizes are smaller than those offered in the weekly $15,000 open tournaments on the UJS. Summer tour.

None of America's crack golfers, including US. and British champion Ben Hogan, has entered the Irish Open championship at Bel-voir Park, July 29-311 And the tournament organizer fear the lack of big names from across the Atlantic will hurt the crowd figures. An organizing committee official revealed today that the committee had tried to persuade Hogan to play. But the bid failed: Ben couldn't make it.

"We felt that if Hogan had entered, others would have followed," the official said.

a fine football player for Loyola College back in the 1920v "Of course I know Mr. Suinaga," he said quickly. "He is a friend cf my father, Dr. Francisco Contreras. My father also went to Loyola in 1924 and played football.

When he returned to Mexico City he Introduced the type of football he learned to play here and organized a college league. He had the rules translated into Spanish so the players could learn the game more easily." Pancho sat on the lawn of the Mount Royal Tennis Club with Dr. Julio Lona, non-playing captain of the Mexican -Team, and discussed the general sports scene in Mexico with particular emphasis on tennis. They had just finished working out on the grass courts, which are unfamiliar to them. "The tennis situation has improved at home in the last year," said Dr.

Lona. "The quarrel between the Federation and the Association has been patched up. Now there is unity after three years of disagreement" "The long quarrel did much harm to tennis," said Pancho. "It caused a lack of trust. When the breach was mended there was an Immediate restoration of confidence and increased interest in tennis." Is there any plan for the development of Davis Cup players in Mexico, such as the one formulated by the well-known Perry Jones Kit California? "I know Mr.

Perry Jones," said Pancho. "I know him because I was a student at Modesto, California. There I met Lome Main and Paul Willy of your team. We have no plan exactly like that of Mr. Perry Jones, but we have a plan.

We have a big tournament each year when the best players from three zones meet in competition. The three zones are the Northern Zone, the Southern Zone and the Central The tournament attracted large crowds this year." Remember the Posquels? There was an Interlude while we asked about baseball in Mexico. It isn't so long ago that the five Pasquel brothers Jorge was the top banana had organized baseball in a turmoil with raids on its player ranks. "Baseball is still popular and the. season is on now," said Dr.

Lona. "There are eight teams in the big league, but Jorge Pasquel has nothing to do with it. He was the friend of President Aleman and he hasn't been so prominent since the turnover in government. The park the Pasquels built has been scrapped to make way for a housing scheme." "Did they really have all that money?" "All that and more. Jorge Pasquel could not spend all his money, no matter how long he lived or how hard he tried." "All sport goes big in Mexico, doesn't it? You have somei good boxers." "Yes, we have some good boxers," said Dr.

Lona. "We have a big new arena in Mexico City." "That's where the bullfights are staged too, isn't it?" "Yes." said Pancho, "but bullfighting isn't really a sport It Is really something else." He couldn't find the word. "A ritual, maybe?" "Maybe a ritual," he said uncertainly. "But it will never die in Mexico. The real season starts in October and lasts until March.

The young ones, the novices, are working now, learning how to become good. If yqu are good you make a great deal of money." The Matches Should Be Close The Mexican players arrived here from New York where they have been working out for 10 days at Forest Hills. They practiced with some of the better American players there, but the big item of news was that Fred Earle, who coached Pancho Contreras at Modesto, came cast to help them. They spoke of his coaching ability with considerable respect. 'Have you ever had any great players from other countries go to Mexico in a tutoring capacity," Dr.

Lona was asked. "Oh, yes," he said. "Fred Perry was one. He taught me, but that was about 10 years ago." Tennis can't finance itself in Mexico and depends on governmental aid and private contributions, but the players themselves are hopeful that more money will be available now that the background is amicable. "Maybe some day our players will have the fine experience of competing at Wimbledon and in the French championships in Paris," Dr.

Lona said. "It is something to look forward Laird Watt, chairman of the Davis Cup Committee of the C.L.T.A., pricked up his cars when he heard that Fred Earle had been at Forest Hills with the Mexican players. "Fred Earle is one of the sharper tennis minds," he said. "It can't be an accident that he was at Forest Hills at the same time. He knows our players, too.

Lome Main, Faul Willy and Bob Bedard were ail at school In Modesta." Laird thinks Canada will win the matches, but that the competition will be close. Our players may have a slight advantage in that the matches are played on grass. The Mexicans have been practicing on grass at Forest Hills, but the turf here is softer and the bounce is different Paul Haynes, chairman of the Publicity Committee, thinks likewise and reasons this way: "Mario Llamas is their best player and Lome Main beat him last year. Main should win both his singles matches and we ought to pick up another win somewhere along the way." But there are other observers who disagree. They argue that Canada is weaker this year without Bren Macken and that Mexico is stronger, which adds up to a victory for Mexico.

But they don't make these final decisions anywhere except on the courts. We asked Dr. Lona if he thought Mexico would ever win the Davis Cup. "Yes," he said, "but it may take a long time." excellent display against Quebec at Molson Stadium last September. semi-final, with Fuzzy Cupid and Sky Low Low against Little Beaver and Dutch Slchultz, In another team match Al and Tiny Mills ol Calgary will face Sandor Kovaci and Larry Moquin.

Money Refunded As Gate Fouled In Ft. Erie Race Fort Erie, Ont, July 13. tfP The third at Fort Erie this afternoon was declared no contest by the stewards. After all of the horses were loaded in their stalls, the Melbourne stable's Merriwell became so factious that one of his lunges set off a part of the mechanical device that throws open the stall gates. The starter himself had nothing to do with the accident.

When the doors did fly open, most of the horses broke by natural instinct. Some of the riders, failing to hear the bell, judged something was wrong and immediately began to pull their mounts up.
