~ ting business. Dissatisfied
with competition among them
selves for sweepstakes prizes which sell
dom 60 outside of small group OF men,
they have decided to bring In the anna
teur golfers of the various clubs. In
fact, they have gone even q step fur
Their along the road toward adjustment
of sweepstakes play among themselves
by announcing a competition in which
the pros will pair with woman partners.
For some time there has been quiet
muttering among some Of the contestT
ants in the sweepstakes tournaments OF
the Middle Atlantic Professional Golf
ers' Association against the continuity
Of the events held every two weeks
during the season.
why should I subscribe IS or more"
some Of the professionals say, Ito help
along the other gent. ! know I can't
win, and, in fact, those who do win
come from a group of three or four.
It's q fine thing to be altruistic about
these matters, but fellow has to look
out for himself"
With some inkling of this attitude
among the younger men before 1t, the
professional association decided to
reach out among other classes Of play
ers, remove the wraps from the bank
roll and give the younger lads a chance.
So they have listed for next Monday
an amateur-profesSional event to be
played over the course of the Suburban
COUNTRY Club of Baltimore, where
Ralph Beach, erstwhile caddie at the
Washington Golf and Country Club,
holds down the professional berth. And
they have gone even further by billing
q mixed fourSome competition at the
Columbia Country Club on May 6.
Now in that tournament at the
Suburban Club it may happen that one
of the pros who plays exceptionally
well may also draw an amateur who
plays well, but that Is unlikely. 1t may
also happen that one OF the younger
professionals, who has not been In the
money, may draw an amateur VINO VIII
pull him through. 1t may happen, also,
in the mixed foursome event at Colum-
bia that one Of the pros, VINO mas noI
been able to get in the money In the
sweepstakes event, may draw woman
partner who will uphold her end OF the
show. and that the gents who nave
been getting away with the dough IN
the sweepstakes will not have such
skillful partners.
n either or both of these things hap
pen It will be a good thing for the
association and the younger proles-
SIGNALS, for they claim the sweepstakes
events are in more or less OF stalemase.
That event at Congressional on June .,
for which Sandy Armour offered 10 put
I'm a cash prize of 500, has been turned
into q sweepstake affair ana Armour
has Withdrawn his offer.
