Southpaw Golf Player Who
Was Selected President of
Americas Greatest Summer
Pastime Has Been Head of
Many Financial Institutions
of Note
BY BASIL &. WYRICK
(ASSOciated Press Golf Writer1

Chicago, Dec. 3O.-(AP)-A man
who knows all about being q presi-
dent and much about golf was select
ed for the presidency of the United
States Golf Association when the
nominating committee chose Melvin
A. Traylor Of Chicago to replace
Charles p. Pfeil of Memphis as UNI
opposed candidate for the office
after the untimely death Of the
latter.
MIR. Traylor. although only 40
years of age, has been president Of
half dozen banks in Texas, St..
Louis and Chicago. He now is head
of the First National Bank Of Chi
cago, one of the largest financial
institutions in the country, and has
served ms president of the Ameri-
can Banking Association.
Mr.. Traylor also has been active
in the Western and Chicago Dis
trict Golf Associations and has been
a member of the executive commit
tee of the U.S.G.A. for two years.
The new president-to-b has tried
golf from all angles. When a youth
in Kentucky, he chopped wood left
handed. When he took up golf in
st. Louis, he played as a south
paw" and kept up that address for
several years, scoring under 100
and even under 30 from the port
side. Later he changed to right
hand clubs and now is even more
proficient. He often scores in the
low SOS over Glenview and Old Elm,
his home courses, both Of which arc
difficult.
A stickler for observance of the
rules of the game, Mel Traylor, as
he is Familiarity known. has worked
hard to have them enforced to the
letter. He also has devoted much
time to lettering the condition of
caddies and to aiding young players
of promise to obtain golfing expert
cnce without undue expense.
Mr.. Traylor will be the third
western president of the U. S. G. A.
since it was organized in 1894. The
others were Silas Strawn of Chi
cago, 19l1-'12, and Frank Wood
ward Of Denver, 1915-'16.

round bout against Bud Taylor, the

While Taylor is the bantamwcight

A victory for Canzoneri will prac-

FIGHT DEPENDENT
ON BALL M0CULS
Schedule Makers of American
League Will Set Date For
Title Bout

New York, Dec. 30.-(F-Thc
schedule makers of the American
league-and not Gene Tunney, Jack
Dempsey, Jack Sharkey or Tom
Hecney-will have the most to say
as to just where and when Tex
Richard promotes the world heavy
weight title match in 1928.
Tex wants to stage the big bout
at the Yankee stadium some time
within the first two weeks Of Sep
TENDER but he can't make any dcfi-
mite arrangements until the sched-
ule makers reveal whether the
worlds baseball championship will
be at home or on the road during
that period.
Richard has definitely decided to
use the park but it will require a
few days for his workmen to con-
vert it into a boxing arena, ar
ranged to seat 100000 spectators
where only $4,000 may gather for
the ball games
Tunney can fight before the 10th
of September, 1928, only by agree
ing to flat percentage basis for
two fights, Richard said. No
amount of cabling will induce the
promoter to give up his exclusive
rights to the heavyweight CHAM
pion's services, he declared.
Needs No Prclim
In outlining the standing of Jack
Dempsey as a challenger, Tex as
serted that the former champion
can meet Tunney without previous
test only in case Tom Heency and
Jack Sharkey both ''look terrible"
in their elimination battle here
January Is.
"These youngsters deserve a.
chance" he said, but he indicated it
would be SHANE" to waste the
perfect" ballyhoo that sounded for
third match after the one-time
Manassa Mauler floored Tunney for
the "long count" at Chicago last
September.
Richard said there was no place
in the elimination ranks for George
Godfrey, latest "black menace" who
boasts formidable string of
knockout victories.
"He's one of the worst fighters /
ever saw" the promoter declared.
Besides Tunney wouldn't meet
a negro, even if Godfrey knocked
out few more setups." 1
