That some of the fight fans
are taking this amateur tOurn-

the woes of "A Fight Fan"
who unbosoms himself today
as follows:
Sports Editor,

Dear Sir:

car down on a railroad siding
where I'm hiding out today.

liberately ignored all my high
signs. l couldn't get out.

door to Let the cat out and go

the argument. Billy of the big

Jimmy Foxx, home run king of the
major leagues in 1892. has started
blasting out his own denial of re-
ports that he couldn t hit four bag

Simmons was out in Chicago with
the White Sox yesterday when jim
my's 81 ounce bat drove out two
home runs. In addition he hit a
timely single and took walk for a
perfect day at the plate.
His devastating slugging COM

I But there is no reason why they
can't go out and get sensible plan
tor future use. May we suggest a
plan?
Take 10 leading summer and
winter tournaments. Make it COM
pulsory that a player, to become
Ryder cup eligible, compete in and
play through at least six of these
each year. Then, at the end OF
two years, figure out the averages
OF the players for these tourna-
ments and those with the highest
standing automatically become the
Ryder cup team. For example the
following open tournaments might
be used:
National, Metropolitan, Western,
Canadian, st. Paul, San Francisco
match play, Los Angeles, Aqua CAL
iente, Miami Biltmore and the
North and South.
Since the national open is one
of, if not the toughest, golfing tests
in the world, let victory in national
opens in years between cup compe-
tition serve as automatic qualifica-
/ ton. For no matter how badly a
player fares in other tournaments.
if he wins the national he's got
more than a putt and prayer.
Such a plan would enable an un-
known player with real ability to
establish himself as one of the
game IS greats in the short space OF
two years.
But most important Of all, it
would increase the interest in tourn-
ament golf which, if we're not mis-
taken, is the prime aim Of the P.
G.. A. The tournaments selected as
Ryder cup proving grounds would
take on double Importance.
Further, with certain amount
of tournament play mandatory, a
hesitant chamber of commerce
would be more likely to sponsor a
| big money tournament because 1t
would know that most of the big
name players would be on hand to
attract the crowds. AS it is now,
iC. of c.. and similar organiza-
tions hesitate to lay prize money
on the line because they don It
know whether they'll get Hagen,
Sarazen and Dutra or Mahoofus,
Iclebaney and McLemore.
