The boys were ordering another
round of cracked ice and faucet
Water-down heah they don't go in
for such fol-de-rol as club soda or
gingerale-and talking, of all things
about the game of golf.
Thus far there is nothing to dis
tinguish such talk from that going
on at this minute in a million
well. at least, a few hundred golf
clubs throughout the republic. But
as a matter of fact, this attentive
reporter, whose ears are always to
The ground, can tell you that the
boys were actually changing a rule
in the honorable and ancient game
of golf
1t is difficult to predict how soon
he rule will be altered. But l can
tell you that such prominent per-
sonages as Bill Burke, Al Watrous,
Wild Bill Mehlhorn and Jess Sweet
ser are for the change and that an
other radical, one Herbert H.
Tack" Ramsey, is also planting the
hot seed of revolt. And when such
distinguished citizens band toge-
ther. the Tories might as we'll cash
their remaining chips and go home.
The rule? Oh, yes. The rule:
Well, it has to do with that eX-
ceedingly courteous feature of me-
dal play wherein each golfer, after
he has putted, picks up his ball and
then allows his opponent to try at
the cup, all Of this, as you can see
and probably have seen takes an aW-
full lot of time. The boys say that in

There is another factor, in ad-

which makes the custom suspect. l
might as we'll tell you forthrightly
that occasional trickery is practiced.
You see. when a golfer leans over

JONES FACES
DIFFICULTY IN
GOLF TOURNEY
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

AUGUSTA, Ga, March %. -
Bobby Jones was to start out over
the rolling fairways and sloping
green's OF this hand carved golf
course today to determine whether
he still is the top man.
Sixty-odd other gentlemen of
the trade-representing nearly the
entire top flight in this nations
golf-stand in his way to prevent
a triumph in a comeback TO COM
petition after more than three and
half years away from the tour
nament wars. Bobby Jones, so
long the faVorite, is now no more
than a question mark at the out
set of 72 hCles of play in the mas
ter's invitation contest to end
shortly before the Georgia dusk
Of Sunday.
Jones drives continue to swing
sweet and true; his irons are al
most uniformly hewn-there was
one of stabbing brilliance on the
18th hole yesterday-but the puts
haven't been reminiscent.
Ask the wise money for its first
choice in this tournament, and
you get the name of Runyan-
Paul Runyan of route %, White
Plains, N. Y. This taffy haired
youngSter, the wise money boys
tell you, is hot stuff. Very, very,
very hot stuff. He has won five
tournaments since November, sew
eral Of them by scores SO sensa-
tionally low as to make you Won
der whether he's a genius or just
broke his pencil after the third
round.
And there are several other gen.
tlemen almost as scorching.
Messrs. Johnny Golden and Billy
Burke won yesterdays foursome
competition with a scintillating 81.
And Horton Smith, Ky Laffoon,
Al Watrous, Johnny Revolta,
George Dunlap, and Denny Shute,
to name few other red hots, have
indicated they we're not to praise
Caesar, but to bury him.
But despite the general all
around class of the field, it is a
safe bet that most of today's gall
lery will not begin their cross
country hike until Jones, happily
paired with Runyan, begins firing.

FAST FIGHTS
EXPECTED ON
FRIDAY CARD

Two of the outstanding feather
weights of California will battle to-
morrow night at the Imperial VAL
icy Athletic club, when Baby Pal
more and Gene Espinosa stage their
SIX round main event.
Both boys are anxious for a win
Tor the victor has been promised a
pout here with Baby Arizmendi,
Mexican idol, at later date.
Arizmendi boxed here several
weeks ago, and the fans liked his
work. The fact that he will meet
the winner of tomorrow night S
fuckuS has added considerable in
terGSt to this weeks card.
Palmore leaped to fame a year
ago when he slowed away Speedy
Dado in one round. He packs plen-
ty of wallop in his right and if he
connects with ESpinoSa tomorrow
night it will be just too bad for the
latter. However, ESpinosa is no
slouch according to his records and
can do bit of punching himself,
as well as being extremely clever
with his dukes.
Both boxers boast speed and sta
nina and with the bout scheduled
for only six rounds, the pace should
be fast one.
Bobby LeyvaS and Johnny Cruz
in the semi-final offer a scrap that
measures up we'll with the main
event, if Cruz lives up to advance
notices. LeyvaS has demonstrated
his ability in several bouts and the
fans know what to expect from him.
Cruz is reported to be something Of
a whirlwind, with plenty of steam
behind his blows. Leyvas made a
hit with the fans last week when he
got up from the floor to win his
bout.
Jimmie Jackson and Reno Fer
nandez will put on the special event.
The latter trounced Pelino Garcia
last week but is 10 have tougher op-
position from Jackson who is a new
conner in Ell Centro's pugilistic
ranks.
Jimmie Martin and Pelino Garcia

Hollywood is so jammed with fat
tery that it Is no wonder that sooner
or later the stars lose their sense OF
humor-and their sense.
VERY few of the film stars care to
to talk about anything except the
films-and themselves. Have you ever
tried to carry on q normal day-to-day
conversation with one of them? Is
there any profession in the world
which is really SO narrow in its neio
and at the same time offers so many
opportunities for improvement ana
education?
The wiser players, like Robert Mont
gomery and ELISA Landi, keep their
minds flexed and alert by reading
novels. biographies and plays-with
the idea usually of finding something
that may be suitable for their forth
coming picture. Still. they read them
and momentarily they are yankeo
from that field of gloss and adulatlon
which is the most curious battling
ground of any land today.
1t is amazing how quickly an atti-
tude of well, here we are'-an attl-
tude of SNUG satisfaction comes 10
the average screen star. But why
shouldn't it-when outside of his door
he meets crowds of morons who STAND
with uplifted faces admiring the very
polish on his shoes as he starts 1ortn
for the day, and again as he returns
for the night? Wouldn't you begin
to feel that maybe you were some
thing if every time you went to res
taurant you were besieged by 1ew
unknowns to sign your autograph?
Was any king of Babylon ever treated
with more admiration?
\ **
INDER these conditions it Is no
- wonder that stars creep into
themselves and soon lose their hold on
the other and more important per-
pleXities of life. If you get $4,000 a
week. have a swimming pool on your
estate and are photographed every
time you climb on and on tram
maybe it's pretty easy to become the
same way.
Mr.. Lederer is right-any outsider
who has been to Hollywood knows
that. But if he believes that this IS
the normal temperament of these peo-
pie. then he is wrong. To quote a
one-time Broadway producer: you
can sit down in Hollywood at dinner
and talk to eight or ten of the most
brilliant minds in the world"
Unfortunately, however, h e
minds" are not the people who are
photographed the most frequently.
These personalities are not the ones
that scream at you from billboards and
trolleys. These wizards Of one thing
and another are not featured at char
ity balls. They are the hard-working
brains who are building up the mo-
ton picture business to whatever peak
it has reached. They are not that
tribe of over-pleased actors who are
tempted into thinking themselves
great by the oily flattery Of those who
would give anything to be in their
place-and never will.
