.DROFESSIONAL golfers who
- stalk the fairways for cash
earn hardly more than Gig
arctic money if you compare
'em with the earnings of athletes in
other lines of dough- earning sport.
The days when Walter Hagen and
Gene Sarazen grabbed off $4,000 by
selling" their open championships
are over, and the golfing pro who
earns fifteen grand a year nowadays
is in the big money.
When fellows like Paul Runyan,
the P. G. A. champion: KY Laffoon,
the sensational Denver lad, and Leo
Diegel, the Philadelphia flash, earn
only little more than $4,000 in cash
awards for their skill with driver and
maShie in whole year, as they did
in 1884, it must be as plain as Jimmy
Durante's beak that the pro golfer is
not overpaid for the skill he shows in
highly competitive game. And when
fellow with the skill of AL Houghton
isn't listed among the first so money
winners, as skimpy as the earnings are

stakes, is having big season in league

age for AZ games is only two points
under Harrisons: in the National
Capital he has averaged 130 for Is
strings and in the Federal the Clar-
endon Cyclone is twisting along at a
124 pace.
Clarke's 45a in the National Capital
League is a city record for the season
and will give him bit of extra at
tention if it stands up. Also bright
ening his general record are a total of
eight 400 sets rolled in the District
and Federal Leagues and five-game
score of 705 that won him third money
