profits arise because of promi-
hence in the game of golf"
Friends of Ouimet declare
that Ouimet Is being unfairly
treated because the assOcia-
ton has taken no action
against Evans, Travers and
Travis.
For many years Travis has
worked as a golf course architect,
and has laid out many golf courses
in all parts of the country.
Chick Evans edits a golf maga-
zine and contributes articles on
golf to newspapers. Travers has
written for newspapers and maga-
zines.
While friends of Ouimet declare
1t is ridiculous to regard either
Evans or Travis as professionals,
they insist it is just as prepoter-
GUS to bar Ouimet from amateur
rating.
