STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

DIR. G. w. Maxfeld for the Presi.

T2-hole handicap competition which

round.
The only thing to be said about
Tommy Armour's defeat by Walter
Hagen in the Professional Golfers AS,
sociation championship at Dallas yes
terday Is that Hagen must have shot
supeTlative golf and found Armour un.
able to keep pace with him.. 1t mark
ed the first victory for Hagen over
Armour in nearly a score of matches
between the pair.
Hagen has the valuable knack of
keying himself up for an important
match-one in which he knows he is
to be pressed. He let's down in the
matches in which he knows he will
not have much to do, but against a
formidable opponent he is usually at
his best. So 1t was against Bob Jones
IN Florida a year ago. when Hagen
beat the Albanian IL and II. And so
1t was yesterday, with Hagen regis
tering 50 over the first round to pile
up a four-hole lead on Armour, from
which the Congressional pro was
never able to recover. With the Ar.
mour hurdle safely over. Hagen should
now move on to a successful defense
OF his championship. particularly as
Gene Sarazan was beaten yesterday
by Joe Turnesa. Had Sarazen sur
vived and gone to the Anal he would
probably have beaten Hagen. for

AVERAGE" lINKSMAN
IS LAUDED BY JONES

ATLANTA, November f., H1.-The
worlds most famous golfer today
hailed the "duffer" as the backbone of
the game.
Bobby Jones, in a plea for more and
better opportunities for public indul.
gence in the pastime, told a local
civic club that it's not the cham.
pions and near-champions who "make
goif," but the average player-"the
duffer, IL you wish to call him So"
Golf tends to get out Of perspec.
tive in these days" he said. "The
newspapers set a fictitious value on
title tournaments. 1t is the average
golfer, who composes our clubs and
builds our courses. that makes 1t pos
sible for relatively few championship
contenders to appear on front pages
and be heralded as champions.
"The backbone OF golf is now and
always will be the average golfer. 1t
is men such as he who pay the
freight, not the comparatively small
number of experts who play in cham
pionships and get their names in the
headlines. Golf could never continue
its existence on tournaments and
tournament play alone.
"And 1t is men such as you, the busi
ness and professional men, who car
see that each city affords by public
courses a proper opportunity fol
every one to play golf' without hav
ing to belong to club or pay extreme
fees for the privilege. The average
golfer keeps the game going. My ha1
is off to him."
Most Of Bobby's hearers were "aver
age golfers" themselves, and they ap
piauded heartily when he added:

H. weight championship today
while the recognized titleholder
Joe Dundee of Baltimore, faced pos
sible discipline by the California Box
ing Commission, which called their
scheduled 10-round title fight here last
night a no-contest affair because OF
the failure of Dundee to appear in
the ring.
While fans booed, milled about and
even started incipient rioting the
champion remained in an unnamed
hotel. His manager, Max Waxman
declared the champion would not ap
pear until $4,000, which had been
guaranteed him by Dick Donald, the
promoter, had been paid.
At the end of an hour and half
during which police riot. squads had
to be called to keep order among the
disgruntled spectators and Hudkins
had appeared in the ring in fighting
togs so he could technically claim the
title. the challenger put on his street
clothes and the boxing commission
announced a no-contest affair. The
commissioners said admissions would
be refunded.
Waxman said he based his claim
for 100000 upon an unofficial contract
with the promoter. The boxing COM
mission declared the only contract it
knew anything about provided Dundee
with percentage of the gate and not
a fixed sum. Waxman replied that the
official contract was only "a blind"
