SCORING IS SUPERB
|. ON WESTERN LINKS
Rich Purses Attract Pros,
but Promoters Are Hard
Hit in Contests.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

JANUARY still has q day or two
to go, but all the golf tour7na-
mentS set for the month are In.
~ And there has been some very
fine golf, with honors pretty wen
distributed.
Through chilling blasts of rain and
wind-that does not sound right, but
such were the conditions-Leo Diegel
won the $4,000 San Diego open, sub
DUNG par on every round.
The Miami open went to Gene Sara
zen. OF whom it may be said that his
golf was not quite so bad as that Of his
holes. Gene also won the Miami Beach
| open for the third consecutive time.
And for the second time in a row Mac
Donald Smith captured the $4,000 Los
Angeles open. Johnny Golden nipped
the La Jolla open, Horton Smith the
Catalina affair, Tommy Armour the
Sacramento open, Walter Hagen stroked
his way to victory in the Long Beach
open and Leo Diegel won at Pasadena.
Wild Bill MehlhOrn won the Ell Paso
open and turned in the lowest score
! (27D ever made in a 72-hole competi-
ton over 6,500-yard course. Previ-
| ouSly he had won the Honolulu open.
He Scuttled through the Texas open
q
on his last two rounds for one Of the
| lowest 36-hole totals in the history of
competitive golf. His total for the
| tournament was a record 277. Two
| records in eight days may be regarded
| as superflne golf.
1t was a great season In Southern
| California not only in aactual play, ac-
cording to letter the writer received
today from Mac Smith, but from the
promise of gold which the golf pro-
moterS of the golden cline are holding
out for future years.
One concrete result of all the money
talk heard this Winter has been the
| lacking up of the famous Los Angeles
open from $4,000 to $4,000. Col
Wrigley is going to add prestige, II not
! distance, to his nine-hole course at
Catalina by making next years open
| there $500 event, and they are talk
ing In terms of SIS, 900 at Aqua Caliente,
the new resort which has sprung up in
Mexico near the border. This report
preSuppoSes some very extensive alter
atoms and the like to the arid stretch
| of domain that now serves as a golf
| course at Caliente.
Between the two places, Catalina and
Aqua Caliente, 1t is said that within a
year or two golf purses will be offered
that will make the foot ball receipts of
big university look moderate. A Los
Angeles golf critic figures that the Los
| Angeles open, with its $4,000 in prizes,
went into the red about $4,000. But
since real estate, and not sport, h the
main angle, who cares? Not the golf
pros IN any case.

Catholic University's win over Ameri-

a combination of which Tut Amann was

American University, which played not
at all impressively. Forrest Burgess,
sharp-shooting American forward, was
unable to score a single goal from

before the first half ended, because
of personal fouls.
It was point-for- point battle
throughout the first half, with c. U.
holding a 17-15 lead at the internnis-
sion. Battling continued on a nip-and-
tuck basis during most of the second
half, but c. U. gained the edge in the
late going and held it the remainder
of the way.
Aside from Amann, fine exhibitions
were turned in for the Cardinals by
Jim Hanley and Bill Reilly, the last
named making his debut with the Var
sity. Bruce KesSler and Leon Shloss
were most consistent for American u,

last half of the ninth the New York

glancing hurriedly from his CODY at
the generously pr0pOrtiOned figure
striding in from deep left vOuchsafed
that Moore was the new pitcher.
And that's the way it was pre-
sented in the wired reports to several
papers as well as the box score sent
to all sections of the country by a.
press service. The pitcher was Hoyt,
and as he had to make only two or
three deliveries before the game
ended even such a familiar figure as
MS escaped proper identification in
the rush occasioned by a suddenly
terminated battle.
The fact that the numbering plan
1DGS tried in the majors and dis
c1rded is no argument AGAINST it.
because the t0dy it udS done pro
utded no fair test.
1t was some five or six years ago
that the experiment was made by
the Cardinals, but the small figures
they carried on the sleeves Of their
uniforms could not be distinguished
from any distance, and as a cOnSe-
quence the innovation meant moth
ing to the fans.
The numbers to be used by the
Yankees will be about foot in
height and can be made out from
any part of the most spacious park,
and by everybody in the park, too,
because fielders don't drape them
selves in their positions like statues,
nor do the batters stand at the
plate like wooden Indians.
We are strong for numbering the
players and hope that the lead taken
by the Yankees proves so popular
with cash customers that all the
other clubs will have to follow.

sor, Senator Jones of Washington, as
aimed primarily at the big bootlegger.
It had the support of the prohibition
bureau and of Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, assistant attorney gen.
eral in charge of prohibition cases in
the department of justice.
