In England they made no bones
about the social standing of tn.

Hagen changed all that. He In
sisted that the professional golfer
was q craftsman. on the same social
plane as amateurs; should be given
club house privileges and should te
taken In anywhere the amateurs went.
And he made it stick. They couldn't
insult Hagen. He wouldn't take It..
Down In Pasadena, Fla. they paid
him $4,000 q year to head a golf club
development in the boom days. He
took $685. out Of the st. Petersburg

which Is a high in professional golf

n YEW YORK, October 27.-At the
nj last fight involving Harry Bal
samo, leading pretender to the
a middleweight throne of Fred
die Steele, your correspondent was
startled to hear Mr. Balsamo address,
ing his second in this wise, Just be-
fore the bell rang to start the slaugh-
ter
why, I'll mock him kicking. Why,
I'll beat his brains out. Just lemme
at that guy Lemme at him. I'll beat
his brains out. Lemme at him"
These remarks were delivered in q
low monotone, without much en-
phasis, but they had q sinister ring.
And when the gong changed Balsamo
leaped from his chair and tore at his
opponent, Herr Eric Seelig, with both
hands. -.
Before the round was over
Herr Seelig was down and out TO
stay.
I don't know whether Balsamos low
pitched threats of violence were part
Of an act the young man has studied
and rehearsed, but they sounded au-
thentic. They reminded you of the
whining. whimpering noise that comes
from the throat Of round dog when
he strains at bird or a rabbit Just
out Of his reach.
Seems Thirsty for Blood.
RALsAMo. before a fight. Aways
f1r
ways unable to wait till he gets it.
This is not what you would call a very
desirable social trait, but it explains
why Balsamo is the most popular and
valuable middleweight fighter now
transacting business in this part of
the country.
Tomorrow night, in Mike Jacobs
red plush hippodrome, he fights Babe
Risko. former title holder. II he
licks Risko-particlularly If he stops
him-the present champion, Freddie
Steele. will have no legitimate excuse
for avoiding a fight with him. That,
at least. Is Balsamo's line of reason
ing. and it also Is Mike Jacobs. Uncle
Mike would like nothing better than
to stage title scrap between Balsamo
and Steele this Winter.
Balsamo used to be subway brake
man. Dressed for the street, he is
not very impressive figure. He looks
pale and thin, and the complexion
of his face. below his tuft OF pompa-
doured hair, is sallow. But when he
strips down to fighting clothes, you
see that his lean arms are nothing
but muscle. that his shoulders slope
from his neck in a line that spells
power, that his legs are tough and
sturdy.
And when you hear him talk
you become convinced that Jack
Dempsey was lucky he retired as
soon as he did.
Listen" says Balsamo, there amt
q fighter living that can punch with
me. I amt seen 'em all. but I know
about this Louis, and they say he's
the best, and the only thing he's got
on me Is weight. Maybe some day
I'll get to fight him. Ill spot him q
few pounds and slug right with him.
Say, I got power. Feel that bissep.
Punch me IN the back-yeah.. right
there. What do you think Of it,"

wv WINTER rules will be coming
M in on the local golf courses
wv within q week or two and
the boys who have had
trouble getting EN- oil the ground
will be able to set the ball up on the
nearest bit OF grass and get really
good crack at it.
Temporary use Of Winter rules by
the local clubs Is q measure designed
to save the fairways at time when
the grass is sparse and scanty and
when q rolling ball finds bad lies.
At the same time these rules
help the rugged duffer who
keeps on playing during cold
weather.
Several Of the local clubs, among
them Columbia and Washington, make
Winter rules effective all over their
golf courses, except hazards. permit
ting teeing of the ball in the rough
as well as the fairway. 1t avoids
argument, for in the Winter 1t is
tough enough to see where the fair
way ends and the rough begins.
Other clubs permit teeing the ball only
in the fairways.
It's all for the best, because II the
ball were played where 1t lies during
the Winter, when courses are soft and
pock-marked. no man would get much
pleasure digging the apple out Of
hole every time he had a fairway
shot. But they don't do 1t in Eng
land and Scotland. no matter how
bad the fairways become.
Dave Thomson, Washington Golf
and Country Club pro. says they are
far behind this country in that re-
gard.
They won't let you touch the ball
at any time. They'd do much bet
ter to adopt our system in the Win
ter time, for they get some pretty bad
lies in the fairways."
