PlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
BY 0. B. KEELER IN THE ATLANTA JOURNAL
MIAMI BILTMORE CLUB, Coral Gables, Fla.—This is by way
of postscript on the final match of the 1940 Miami Biltmore invita
tion golf tournament for the gals, in which Patty Berg, of Minne
apolis defeated Betty Jameson, of San Antone, at the 38th green
of one of the most remarkable, and one of the greatest golf matches
ever played over American fairways. That goes for the boys also,
and our friends, the professionals.
* * *
As suggested in previous dispatches, the setting was too good
to be true—the national champion of 1939 against the national
champion of 1938, whose participation in the latter affair was barred
by an appendix operation. Adding color and pressure at the same
time, Patty Berg had won the Miami Biltmore classic at its last four
playings; and with four matches in the bag in the current event,

FBI LEADER CHARGES
CORRUPTION, GRAFT
IN MIAMI, FLA. AREA
Hoover Asserts Six Police Offi
cers Have Records, and Some
Have Served Time; Criminal
Influx a Problem
SMILE AT CONFIDENCE MEN
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6—ffl—
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
has announced that his staff
found “Evidence indicating lo
cal graft, corruption, and ineffi
ciency” in the Miami, Fla., area.
This charge and another that
police authorities of the resort
failed to cooperate with the jus
tice department’s investigation,
were made before a House appro
priation subcommittee in testi
mony made public today.
Hoover declared the FBI had
tried to work with local authori
ties, but received “little, or no
actual cooperation.”
“Police officers in that area
have been instructed,” he charg
ed, “Not to come near the repre
sentatives of the FBI. They
have been told that if they were
seen going in or coming out of
our offices they would be black
listed.”
He termed the Miami and the
Miami Beach area “One of the
greatest problems we have had
to contend with in the entire
country, because of the influx of
criminals from various sections
of the country.”
Hoover said his staff found that
in the Miami Beach police depart
ment there were six officers with
police records and that some of
them had served time. Although
this was made known to the de
partment, he said, these officers
continued on the force.
“We have good reason to be
lieve,” Hoover added, “that the
operations of confidence men in
the Miami area are carried on at
least with the knowledge of some
law enforcement officials.”
Betty Jameson Wins First
Match at Palm Beach
PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. G—
After trailing at the nine hole
turn National Champion Betty
Jameson came back strong today
to eliminate Clara Callender, '
Long Beach, Calif., 4 and 3 in
the Palm Beach tournament. A
run of six holes in three under
fours settled the issue in favor
of the champion.
Jean Bauer, last year’s win
ner, defeated Mrs. Dewitt Un
termeyer on the 19th green. Bet
ty . Hicks trimmed Mrs. Lillian
Zech, 2 and 1. Miss Grace Am
ory, with a one over par out nine,
