Campus Comment

College ball players are assuming
more and more Importance in the
major leagues, and the minors also,
every day.
Not day passes by but what the
headlines chant of Lou Gehrig Of
Columbia, Ted Lyons of Baylor,
frankie Frisch of Fordham. the Sc
wells of, Alabama, Sisler of Michigan,
or some other FORMER collegian.
The list of collegians in the ma
jors is really long one. Every club
has at least one such player, and
some have several, either playing
regularly or out in the minors under
option. And no major league mag
nate misses q chance to send his
scouts out to watch the various CAM
put stars these days.
Branch Hickey is generally given
credit for this boom in college ivory
Of late years, but the two New York,
Washington and Cleveland clubs are
also due some credit for the influx
ofEollegians in the majors. The
W1fte Sox and Athletics are not far
beAodsin the race.
The college player was handed
quite q severe rebuke a few years

spite his defeat he set a new record
with total of 3,455 strikeouts. But

Tiger batsmen.
Game Called Johnson Day
The game was designated "John-
son Day" at the ball park and "Old

JOHN FARRELL
IS 'UNCR0WNED'
GOLF CHAMPION
Has Captured Five M a jOr
Tournaments, More Than
Any Other Player
BY JIMMY POWERS

New York, Aug. 3.-(NEA)-The
/ uncrowned professional golf cham
4pion of America-Mr. John Aloysius
Farrell!
Slow music, professor, while we
shed a few tears over Johnny.
The link season of 1927 is nearing
it's climax. There remains but the
national amateur, the women's cham
p onshin and the P. G. A. to get ex-
cited about.
A critical review of the profession
al campaign cannot help but drive
home the fact that Mr.. Farrell is
something more than congenial
companion for rainy days and a
model for what the welldressed man
should wear.
Captures Five Tourney
He has captured five major 1927
golf tournaments-an unparalleled
record.
They are the Metropolitan, Shaw
nee, Massachusetts,, Eastern and
Pennsylvania meets. Farrell would
trade these five coronets for Ar
mour's single crown and yet there is
no denying his accomplishment is far
superior to Tommys.
Which leads US to new suppes-
ton made by pros lately. Why not
decide the true champion on an aver
age of result over the entire year!
Golf being what it is, it is ridicu-
lous to pick a single 72-hole touyna-
mcnt and call the winner "chdmpion
of America" The truth is, il the
Oakmont classic had been replayed
the following week another probably
would have won. Due to the charac-
ter Of the game, an open champion
ship merely decides who is champion
for any given week.
Golf res~rbles baseball that way.
They don. proclaim the Giants
champions on the strength of one
series. Even the lowly Red Sox &C.
casionally trim the Yanks. Pennant
races are determined by percentage
Of victories over the entire season.
: Logically, the same procedure should
follow in golf. -
/, No Slap at Armour
Understand, in proclaiming Johnny
Farrell professional champion over
the years stretch, no slap is intended
at good old Tommy Armour Tommy
was as good as any golfer at Oak
montana better than most.
The way the national champion
is picked in America today seems
nothing but q glorified lottery. It is
a hit or miss affair with luck en-
throned. Whoever happens to be or
his game that particular week get,
the halo for the. entire SO weeks. 4
is just as il . batting championship
were decided on one aftexnoon and
Babe Ruth, after hitting 100 Aon,ers
all season. happened to strike out
and rookie scratched q single t.
cop the title.
This condition was not noticed til
1927 when Mr.. Farrell came along ant
T called attention to the faulty system
by which national professions
champion" is selected.
Maybe the new satisfied idea il
too visionary, undramatic. Just tn

He Is Victorious Over L. C..
FOlhtt, Fargo; Has Close
Battle at First Holes

Fargo. Aug. 3.--After being one
down at the turn, Paul Cook of Bis
marck. sensational II year old golf
CIR. who shattered all records in win
ming the medal honors in the 18th
annual tournament Of the North Da-
kota State Golf association. came
back and squared his match with l..
G. Follett of Fargo. and then went
out and won his way into the second
round of match play on the 10th
green here yesterday afternoon.
Follctt waged determined battle
against the youthful medalist and
came the closest to turning in an up
set as was seen in the first round Of
match play at the Fargo Country
club.
The first round was repletc with
excellent golf, many being forced to
shoot in the low 8Os, and some below
80 in order to survive for another
round Of competition. One or two
matches were decided by overwhe Inn
ing margins, but in the main the
play was close enough to force the
issue to the 10th and 18th greens.
Start Poor 81
Cook got away to poor start and
never quite recovered the form he
displayed in registering a total OF
lag in the medal play. Folett was
one up at the turn, winning the fifth
and seventh holes, his young foe be-
ing two over par each time. Cook
grabbed the sixth with par four for
his only win on the upper nine.
Crossing the road for the journey
through the woods, <CoOk was in
trouble again and took a six on the
par four hole, putting Follett two
holes ahead. Cook squared the
match by PAIRING No. II, and taking
the 18th when Follett went two over
par. Follett played perfect golf on
the 14th to regain the lead but Cook
came into his own on the 18th with
birdie four to even matters up.
Both were over par on the 18th, and
Cook lost chance to end it on the
18th when he missed two-foot putt
for par after Follett's third was
long and his putt short.
On the goth, Cooks second was
dead to the pin and he sdropped a
five-foot putt for par three. Fol-
let's pitch running over the green
and his second approach being much
too short for three.
Cox Is Beaten
R. T. Barnard of Fargo, scored 4
and victory over Ed B. Cox OF Bis
marck, gaining a lead of three holes
on the upper nine with a medal count
Of 80. Barnard then equaled par on
all save the 18th through the 18th
where the match was terminated.
