far as gOlfing goes, the first
; annual tournament was. Nat
~: Ilrally handicaps were required
and these were based on cards

participants. But the tOurna-

M What IL more, they will go
the Turner Trophy, donated by
Scott Turner, Director. Of Bureau
OF Mines. That trophy was put
hip for match play. so match play It
will be. Likewise the White Con.
ISOLATION Trophy. presented by C. P.
White, chief. Economic Branch Of
the Bureau Of Mines, must be
played for again. That is, not
until next year, because both
trophies must be won three times
by the same individual before they
become permanent property.
In the meantime the winners will
have their name engraved upon
the cups and they will remain in
their possession until spring and
N new golf season IL here once
more.
q, But the professional golfers.
that is, some Of them, who fol.
low the sum-. will not wait until
81 next spring to play golf. Many
IL are preparing for their trek
south again, stopping first at
Dallas. Texas, for the Profess
4 sional golfers championship
I. which will be played next week.
i After that they will enter lesser
events until the Los Angeles,
$4,000 open, the classic OF the
Pacific coast is played early in
January.
Washington will have two repre-.
eeutatives at Dallas. They will be
!. Tommy Armour, our United States
and Canadian open champion. and
Ralph Beach. of Burning Tree Club.
They are only two of 40 paid
golfers. and 1853 OF them will strive
to clip the wings Of one Walter
Hagen. defending champ.
Sir Walter has sported the cham.
pion's crown for three successive sea-
sons. He won his first laurels at
French Lick Springs back in 1924.
He defended his title successfully at
ISlOS ItlS IOIIOWlH& season,
and then the Haig rode to additional
glory over the Salibury course,
last year.
Almost every golfer is wondering
IL Walter can repeat considering
the fact that many of the top.notch
professionals have been playing a
.snuch improved game. In Hagen's
behalf, it might be stated he is
ready.
z: IN Is consecutive matches In
professional championship play
Hagen has been on top, and IL
IL reported he IL ready for any
aspirant to his nerited place In
the limeiight. One Of his recent
threats to repeat in this profes.
sional title championship was his
victory in the Western open.
!, This. incidentally. was the sec.
/, ond successive time he won that
: event. And in winning t.. he
turned IN the amazing total Of
2S1 for the four rounds, an aver.
age Of 10 blows Der round.
After that dear golfer, look the
field over and take your pick. Golf
IL a funny game and this season
has been a good, bad and indifferent
season for golf champions.
