NEW YORK, April 21.-The
barring Of Miss Mary X. Browne
from amateur golf tournaments,
because she has become tennis pro-
fessional will have a far-reaching
effect, it was believed today.
AS predicted by the United Press
several days ago, the executive com
mittee of the United States Golf AS
ISOLATION has ruled Miss Browne
ineligible, its first definite action on
that phase OF amateurism.
Miss Browne has no immediate
appeal and it is doubtful If she would

sources of the association to finance
building of better homes. Steadily
the association has been developed
under efficient, wise management
and careful supervision. w. T. Can

one of the best known savings and
loan executives in the country.

however, have the matter taken up
to the General Association at it's
next meeting, as Bill T,lden did
when he was battling the tennis
association.
The Resolution
The resolution approved by the
executive committee made Miss
Browne ineligible to compete in
any amateur tournament under the
jurisdiction OF the association"
The same ruling will have to be
applied against Jigger STATE, Dazzy
Vance. Ross Young, and other pro-
fessional baseball players, who have
been allowed to play in amateur
tournaments. The defense of the as
sociation in the case of the ball
players was that they were COM
peting only in minor tournaments
and had. never tried to enter a
major or national championship.
Coaches Are Excepted
The ruling forces all those earn
ing money in any other line of sport,
with the exception of professional
football coaches, into open COM
petition or into outlaw leagues.
The action on the Browne case
was announced in a formal state
nent handed out at the Office of the
Golf Association. 1t said:
I'm dealing with the case Of Miss
Mary X. Browne. the committee
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, that by reason Of the
manner in which Miss Mary K.
Browne has capitalized her skill in
amateur athletics, in the opinion of
the executive committee she has
acted in a manner detrimental to
the best interests and true spirit
Of the game of golf and she is there
fore, declared ineligible to compete
in any amateur tournament under
jurisdiction of the association"
Session Is Harsh
It was rather harsh, it seemed.
from a liberal point of view, to de-
clare she had acted in a manner
detrimental to tennis, golf or any.
thing else. The association could
have said delicately. at least. that
because she had become a tennis
professional she could not be an
amateur golfer.
Miss Browne is known and re.
spected in England, Europe and the
United States as thorough sports
woman.
Miss Browne, even If she is a pro,
won the moral victory. She doesn't
need amateur golf or tennis and
amateur golf and tennis need such
athletes as she always has been.
