Merton Suits Runyan's Game
Keenness on Second Shots Is Reason Why Pros
Pick Him to Take Open Crown.

a steady game that varies little
from one month to another, and
Merton will find him firing with
his usual skill.
Merton is strictly a second-shot
course, for, with the exception of
the second and fourth holes. even
an average hitter can easily get
home in two. Runyan is not a
great driver. He's very straight,
but lacks the physical power to
pump the ball down the fairways
along with SaraZen. Dutra. Wood
or Little. His keenness shows on
second shots, whether they be
made with spoon or some va
riety of iron. Paul packs bum
die of spoons in his kit and can
make any one of them perform
more tricks than a circus monkey.
He will get the ball to the green
with as much accuracy as any one
in the business and once on the
rugs his putter seldom shutters. So
Runyan is the choice Of his fellow
professionals and so of them can't
be wrong.

No Longer Rich Mans Game.

NNLY Is years ago golf was de-
~ rided-or ignored-by the gen.
eral public as a rich mans
game-which it was. But today you
have only to glance over the back
ground Of most of our professionals
and many prominent amateur players
to realize that the reproach of a
decade and half ago no longer is
justified.
Looking over the country, Bill Rich
ardson finds abandoned diamonds

Saturday afternoons, intertown and

was fever heat Now the golf links.
the private and municipal courses.
have taken the place once occupied
by the ball field as a center of ac-
tivity.
Additional proof as TO the rise of
golf at the expense of base ball is
cited. In 1881 the value of golf balls
produced was S5.974.522: the value of
base balls, s2,262.092. The value of
golf clubs manufactured was $l1.3l7.-
TT; that Of base ball bats. 81 .029, ,537.
The value of all golf goods produced
was s23. .266 ,055; that of all base ball
goods. only S5,2l5,l06.
What more evidence is needed tc
demonstrate that base ball is a ma
tional game in name only and thai
golf rules in its place?

He approves of the current depres-
