was his third major engagement since
winning the title here ii months ago.
So ingenious was Mandell's defense
that Myers, always Sharpshooter
failed to land a solid blow on the
champions jaw until the fifth round.
In the meantime, Mandell peppered
Myers with lefts to the face and right
crosses to the Jaw. In the sixth round
Mandell dropped short right cross

"A tive circles. even though the
4 \ United States Golf Asso-
citation is completely in ac-
cord with the Royal and Ancient
Clubs dictums, and the skids are
creased for a former president of the
Western Golf Association to become
head of the national body in January.
The latest foray against some of
the principles of the United States
Golf Association comes from the pro-
fessional golfers, and is transmitted,
not through their organiZation--the
Professional Golfers Association--but
by individual members Of the associa-
ton. 1t is a protest against the
claimed inequitable way of splitting
up the money raised through payment
Of entrance fees to the open cham
pionship.
In a nutshell the complaint runs
something like this: Each year the
pros compete in the United States
Golf Association open championship,
for which the U. s. G. A. charges a
gate fee of 81 day. In this way
something like $50 900 was paid into
it's Golfers at the open championship
at Oakmont last June. The pros kick
any benefit from this money!" They
claim the U. s. G. A. spends only
about 81 900 in prize money for the
open, the pros give the show, and the
governing golf body pockets the rest.
But that is not alone the basis Of
| their kick. Every two years the u.
| s. G.. A. either sends a team abroad
or entertains a British team here
in the Walker Cup matches. This
costs somewhere in the neighborhood
of $4,000 biennially, either in travel
ing expenses for the American team
or in entertainment for the British
team. All this comes out of the
money raised by payment of gate
fees at the open and the amateur
championships. In addition the U.
s. G. A. spends several thousands of
dollars each year in entertainment for
| it officials at the three champion
ships and in incidentals.
Now the pros. knowing perfectly
we'll that in other ways the U. S. G..
A. is doing a fine job In golf admins
tration, hold that some benefit should
accrue to them from the money they
help to raise by their play in the
open championship. True, they de-
clare. Bobby Jones, an amateur, Is a
great money-making magnet. But
even without him the open champion
ship would be a money maker in a
. big way. So they hold that the L.
| s. G. A. should raise the ante all
along the line in prizes for the open,
with first money something like
$500, second money $1,000. and so
on down the line.
Prize money for the open totaling
in the neighborhood of $4,000 would
not be out of line with the importance
of the championship. they claim, point
| ing to the affluence of other tourna.
ments, notably the Los Angeles open,
the Texas open and the Southern
| open. at each Of which cash prizes
of $4,000 or more have been put up.
AS the matter now stands. the winner
| of the open gets only $500 in cash,
usually not much more than his ex-
penses; second place gets $500. and
so on down the line, with several
| prizes for low score each day, and 80
