V
r, Teacher Of Famous Bauer
Sisfers Played First Golf At 30
By HARRY GRAYSON
ORMOND BEACH, Fla.—Dav-
Ip;,;. id Bauer is a more unusual story
than his phenomenal daughters,
m-:- Marlene and Alice.
|vDave Bauer, a Russian immi-
grant, didn't know what golf
was until he was 30. Invited at
Eureka, S. D.,
|| he was fasci-
nated by the
Royal and An-
[: cient, read of
| the masters,
' applied engi-
neering prin-
l ciples.

he built a nine-hole course and
was teaching.
Bauer raised his pretty daugh-
ters to be exactly what they
are. He contends that a child
can be taught to play with a
golf club, baseball bat, tennis
racquet, or any piece of athlet-
ic equipment, in place of a toy.
Bauer made a little driver for
Marlene. and she was blocking
traffic driving from the 10th tee
of the Aberdeen, S. D. layout
when she was three and a half
years old.
Bauer used the gifted Mar-
I lene, just turned 16, as a come
j on for Aiicc, who is six and a
I half years older and didn't take
| to ihe game at first. The at-
I tention given Marlene spurred
! Alice on.
He was teaching at a North
| Hollywood driving range until
recently, when he decided to
have the kids, as he calls them,
play out of the oil center of
Midland, Tex., halfway between
Dallas and El Paso.
The Bauer girls' status as
amateurs is now under investi-
gation by the executive commit-
tee of the United States Golf
Association.
Dave Bauer wants his daugh-
ters to remain amateurs.
Dick Button Had
Rather Skate For
Fun Than Money
DETROIT, April 8 (UP) —
Young Dick Button, three-time
world figure skating champion
snubbed a $100,000-a-year offer
to turn pro so he could defend
his Olympic cnampionship in
l!)f>2. it was learned today.
"Ifs hard to convince people
that finishing my studies at Har-
vard and winning in the Olym-
pics again mean much more to
me than the professional proposi-
tions I've received," Button said.
The sensational Englewood, N.
J., skater said he wasn't "at lib-
erty" to say exactly how much
he had been offered, but a close
associate revealed that an ice
show was willing to give him
more than 8100,000.
"1 skate because I love it and
I'm afraid if skating became
work for me I wouldn't enjoy
it anymore," Button said. "I
keep telling the promoters no'
but after every championship
they make bigger offers."
Button, soti of a well-to-do
eastern business executive, ad-
mitted he might not refuse an of-
fer if it was "fantastic" enough.
EAT PLENTY AND
TAKE OFF UGLY FAT
Many people have reported amazing: re-
sults with this home recipe. It's easy— no
trouble at all and costs little. Just go to your
druggist and ask for 4 ounces of liquid Bar-
centrate. Pour this into a pint bottle and add
enough grapefruit juice to fill bottle. Then
take two tablespoonsful twice a day. That'.-
all there is to it. If the very first bottle
doesn't show the simple, easy way to lose
bulky fat and help regain slender, more
graceful curves; if reducible pounds and
inches of excess fat don't just seem to dis-
appear almost like magic, from neck, chin,
arms, bust, abdomen,hips, calves and ankles,
just return the empty bottle for your money
back.
LOST 40 POUNDS
"Before taking Barcentrate, my weight
was 250 pound®. After taking seven bottles
my weight is now 210 and I feel so much
better, thanks to Barcentrate." Signed, Mrs.
L. M. Robinson, Seabrook, Texaa.

Johnny Keane of the Roches-

ing training at Dayt.ona Beach.
I-Ie didn't care to expose the
Red Wings to sunburn.
The only rays Manager Keane
wants his boys to get are those
from the fans.

The players, of course, don't
mind the rays—if you spell it

A calendar, issued by a Wash-
ington firm, listed such dope as
phone numbers of all important
outfits in the city, including
that of the Washington baseball
I club. But when you call the
number listed, you get the
George Washington Cemetery.
That's not so far wrong, you
know.

Last holdout story of the year:
A pitcher approached his boss,
demanding .$1,000 extra for
every game above 20 that he.
won.
He began the conversation by
saying, " I've got a bonus to pick
with you."

Disgusted with his perform-
ance, Bill Starcevich of Mil-
waukee dropped his bowling
ball into the Menowinee River.
You could sum up his night's
work like this:
He stank.
It sank.
