~ to qualify, with probability
that there will be IA or more places.
That is the consensus of opinion on
the sectional qualification rounds for
the national amateur championship
at Indian Spring next week from the
men who really know how tough the
course is and how the boys will score
on it.
George Diffenbaugh, Indian Spring
pro, and Roger Peacock, ace anna
teur of the club, think that a brace
grab the big gold medal which goes
to the leader They think that 155
will be the top score TO make the
grade, adding that if there are II or
less places, the top score will be lower,
while if there are Is or 16 places, 156
may get in.
But AL Houghton. playing pro and
executive secretary of the club. thinks
the course has been toughened up to
the point where no entrant is going
to get anywhere near par. AL thinks
that lat will win the medal and that
1856 is sure to get in no matter how
many places are open. Pairings for
the qualifying test, over the 36-hole
route. will be released for publication

but it is going to be plenty tough For
example, the fourteenth hole, now a
No. 4 iron, will play a spoon shot;
the second and fifth will be two real
two-shotters and every hole will be

for any player to equal par for single

But Peacock thinks the boys will
do fairly we'll, and perhaps one of them
will bust that IA mark The course
is in such great condition that if the
boys get their puts dropping they

Hennessey and Bunny Austin. that he
captained the oxford tennis team

five college degrees, you're not so in
clined to regard Edward o. (Red)
Mather as the unknown" he was re-
garded when first he sprang into the
local limelight by defeating Ralph
McElvenny in the Federal Employees
tournament.
Grasp his firm. long hand; look into
his clear, blue eyes; notice his tall,
slender "Tilden" build and then OBJ
serve that tuft of red hair at the top
of his 30-year-old brow, and imme-
diately you are impressed that here is
not only an experienced tennis player
but an interesting citizen of the high
est order. Talk with him for five
minutes and you'll understand why he
is Phi Beta Kappa and was a Rhodes
scholar.
Mather captained the Texas U. ten
mis- team during his senior year in
1927, the year he played doubles with
Allison in the intercollegiate and the
first year that the present ranking
No. U. S. player gave signs of the
brilliant career which eventually
landed him on the Davis Cup squad.
Graduating with an A. B. degree
and also as bachelor of business ad-
ministration, Mather left for oxford
as Rhodes scholar after a brilliant
scholastic record made in the study OF
economics. Continuing his net career
in London, Mather found himself
playing with the oxford team every
weekday but Saturday. a striking con-
trast to the two matches a week nor
mally scheduled for American colleges.
While more than 40 matches were
played during the eight weeks season,
usually against teams from the nu-
merous country clubs with which Eng
land abounds, none of them mattered
except the traditional Cambridge con-
tests, the natural rivalry comparable
to our Army-Navy classics. During
Mather's oxford days, however, Cam
bridge was beaten only once, due in
no small part to the presence of
Bunny Austin in the Cambridge line
up. Recognizing the ability of the
young American, Mather was chosen
team captain for his last year at Ok
ford.
Mather returned to America in 1880
with the M. A. and law degree from
Oxford. One year later he took his
IL B. from Texas. All of which!

POLL OF WRITER'S
TO PICK 50 PROS
Would Be a Record Purse
and 1t Appears to Be
No Idle Dream.
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.

! A TOURNAMENT TO top all golf
~ events is in the making out
~ in California, where they do
"A things in a big way. And
from the yarns going the rounds
of those California booster blurbS
or anything like it.
The affair. according to the con-
Tersation, will be for a purse of 80
grand, which is comfortable money
in any Language. Now, it isn't
poppy sniffer's dream, nor a press
agents hallucination. 1t is the real
goods, according to Herb Crafts, who
writes from Chicago such entertain
ing pieces on why golf is played and
what causes us to play the game.
The field, Herb says, will be limited
to 80 players. who will be selected
by poll of sports writers. And
that angle of it sounds bad, when
you consider that a poll of sports
writers prior to the recent and un-
lamented national open would have
put Sam Parks, jr., down somewhere
about seventy-fifth place-if he got
into could type at all.
Aqua Caliente Fades Out.
TOURNAMENTS have been held for
S25,000, but no golf affair of
any description ever carried as much
dough as the 80 grand the boys
will shoot for out there in California
next Winter. Aqua Caliente started
out some years back with golf affair
for $4,000, which gradually Ian
guished until the last one was held
for $500, and now they won't be
held any more.
Aqua Caliente has folded up, the
gambling casinos are closed and the
old place isn't what it used to be
before Mexico outlawed gambling and
Santa Anita took the play away from
the hot water resort.
The biggest tournament played dur
ing the past year was the Biltmore
affair at Coral Gables, Fla, where
Col. Henry L. Doherty and his asso-
Ciates scattered S12,500 around among
the boys. Five-thousand-dolla tour
naments are getting fairly common
but when they put on a show for
100000 you can imagine the build-up
and the ballyhoo it will get, particu-
larly in California.
Golf Pros Underpaid.
A S A MATTER of fact professional
golfers are underpaid for their
skill. They don't average anywhere
near the money paid base ball players
tennis pros, or pros in any other line
of sport. They play for relatively
small purses and the competition is
keener than in any other branch Of
professional sport.

tournament was $4,000, the year
Gene Sarazen stuck his stubby fist

dollars and decided they would look

BILE will be something to see. Can YOU

LAToNA never has been

TONY LATONA never has been
ranked at the top of the Dis
trict netmen, but as far as
the Federal employees are con-
cerned he is their perennial No. l
player. The playground instructor
whose pronouncement that "Latona
never gets licked in August" was vim
dicated yesterday when Tony repelled
the threat of Edward Red" Mather
to break into the Districts elite, today
reflects upon the second successive
Government tournament in which he
recognized no peers.
A straight-set victory over Mather
to the tunes of 4, l and 3 was Tony's
way of climaxing his doubles victory
of the day before with Ralph Nc
Elvenny and the second year in which
he has won the cup in both classifi-
cations.
Strangely enough, the department
that won the tournament cup by
winning the most matches did not
have an entrant in any of the finals,
singles or doubles, men or women.
Nevertheless, Treasury's 17H points
brought it the large silver loving
trophy.
THIS afternoon Mary Ryan and
Clara Tabler finish their match
for the women's singles title, with Miss
Ryan having won the first set, 60,
and Miss Tabler leading in the sec
ond, 7-6. incidentally, while this
tournament ends today, the turmoil
may linger on among the woman en-
ployes of the Government And all
over a default granted by the tourna-
ment referee, Arturo Tomelden.
1t seems that match between Miss
Tabler and Dorothy Kelso. District
playground teacher, was scheduled
for 10 O'Clock Sunday morning. At
$50 Miss Tabler went down to the
courts, was of the opinion that they
were not in condition to be played
upon due to the nights rain, and left.
One-half hour later Miss Kelso ap-
peared. When Referee Tomelden
saw other matches being played he
went to Miss Tabler's home to escort
her back to the courts.
Miss Tabler could not be found.
When he reported that, at 1I:l5, back
to Miss Kelso, that young lady claimed
a. default. Tomelden advised her this
was not possible for the best inter-
ests of the tournament" He asked
| her to be back at the courts at 5
O'Clock on Monday.
On Monday Miss Kelso telephoned
WinfIee johnson, recreation director
of public parks. who had appointed
| Tomelden, and says she was advised
| by him that he would support her in
her default claim. Johnson says he
meant to give no such impression.
And when Miss Kelso went to the
courts Monday evening to play a
semi-f1nal match, she was advised by
Tomelden that she first would be
forced to play Miss 1abler.
This she refused to do and there
upon Tomelden defauited Miss Kelso's
match to Miss Tabler. Miss Tabler
then defeated Mary Gass in a semi
final match. The question seems to
| be: When is default?"
