ROAD-GRADING COSTS REACH
STABLE BASIS. REPORTS SHOW

The cost of grading for highway

Gene Sarazen of the Highland Coun-
try club, Pittsburg, led the field of
golfers in the southern open cham
pionship at the Country club here
today with a medal score of 145 for
the first s6 holes Of play. Cyril
walker, of Englewood. N. J., ran a
close second to Sarazen with a. total

of the New Orleans Country club was
in third place with a score Of ISL.
Sarazen got off to an early lend in
the morning round and held the COM
manding position throughout the
tournament for the day. Diegel, after
getting off to bad start in the NOR

noon and played a superb game,
practically pooling the course In par.
Jock Hutchison, one Of the big favor
ties in the tournament was badly off
his game in putting and only regis
tered a medal score Of 157 for the
first SO holes. Jim Barnes, the ma

This Is the money-mad age in

For 1922 Heilman wants s15,ooo

$4,000.
Eddie Roush of Cincinnati wants

Carl Mays wants the New York
club to tear up his contract for this
year and give him much fatter one.
Babe Ruth wants anywhere from
$4,000 TO $4,000 and $500 extra for
every home-run he makes.
Why this money mad hysteria on
the part OF the BAN players7
Charles Ebbetts, president Of the
Brooklyn National League club, hit
the nail on the head when he said:
"Club owners are to blame for the
Epidemic OF holdouts. Big money
talks from the owners has filled the
air. I don't blame the players for
trying to get as much as they can"
When John McGraw paid $4,000
for a minor Lacquer, O'Connell, he
said In reality he was only paying
about $4,000 as the government
would set the rest in the old income

Naturally the players feel that II

profits. why not share It among them.
