Swim Pool Planned At Apfos Beach A new swimming pool and the enlargement of the clubhouse at the Aptos Beach golf course were disclosed Wednesday night at the dinner honoring pro-manager Ed Holbrook. The occasion was the second anniversary of the re-opening of the course on June 24, 1957, and was held at the Aptos Beach golf lodge. The clubhouse will be enlarged next September and the swimming pool is being planned for next spring. Also the tennis courts will be resurfaced. Henry Howard, representing management, told the crowd of more than 125 golfers and friends of Holbrook about the changes in the club.

"We've had our times," Holbrook said recounting activities of the past two years. But I think we can safely say the golf course is on its way to becoming one of northern California's finest." Harry Lyon, long time Aptos resident and golfer, was master of ceremonies for the anniversary dinner. 910 Soquel Ave. 19. SQ3CQ33 most harrassed heavyweight pro.

motion of all time Rosensohn indicated that if the fight were rained out a second time it may be put off until Monday. This would further complicate the ticket situation, which has developed into a controversy. The ticket hassle may come to a showdown today. Rosensohn re fused to make refunds Thursday after the postponement was an nounced despite an order to do so by Gen. Melvin Krulewitch, chair man of the state athletic com mission.

Krulewitch said the commission rules required the promoter to make refunds on demand. Rosen sohn said his lawyer's interpreta- i i i lion oi me ruies inuuaieu nu re fund was mandatory. "I don't want to hurt any people but I've cot to protect the promotion," said the weary Rosen sohn. The commission rule is vague, but it has been observed by other promoters in the past. Krulewitch said he would take it up with a lawyer.

If another postponement Is required, however, Rosensohn said the return policy would be reviewed. He said that he is making refunds for hardship cases. That would have to include Swedes and out-of-towners who have booked transportation today. As for the fighters, they took the delay calmly enough. After all, this was just one of many in-cidents that have plagued the promotion.

There have been law suits, a threat by Patterson's manager to take the fight out of New York, and probably anything else you can name.
