PINEHURST, N. c., April 4. W.p)-.
Francis Ouimet, Boston gentleman
who does not deal in hasty decisions
or rash statements, is Of the firm
opiion that the Lawson Little who
cast his lot with the professionals
a few days ago, is on the verge of
creating a new era in the game OF
golf
Coming from Mister Ouimet this
statement is of double Importance
for in addition to being competent,
sound observer of the game, he is
an experienced hand at the busi-
ness of creating new eraS. Few will
deny that golf in this country moved
into a new stage with Ouimet'S de-
feat of Ted Ray and Harry Vardon
in that memorial play off for the
American open championship in
1913. BY that victory the gangling,
20-year-old boy removed the two
great handicaps of American golf;
namely that golf was Britain'S game
and this country could never hope
to produce a player capable of whip
ping it's top players and that golf
was an old mans game and suitable
only for men old enough to spin
eyewitness accounts of the Battle
of Shiloh.
L was sitting with Ouimct when
we heard that Lawson Little had
fOrsaken the amateur ranks and
would hencewOfrth play on the
side of the pros and he couldn't
restrain a chuckle.
THAT gives all us amateurs a new
lease on life" he laughed. With
Lawson in the national amateur the
best any of the rest of us could ever
hope for was the honor of getting
our ears pinned back in the final.
A few more years and he would have
created a new race of golfers-the
runnerS-up. And the horrible part
of it was that he was betting better
all the time He completely domin-
ated us as ii was, and in a year or
two he would have been so far out
in front that for an amateur to
carry him II holes would have con-
stituted a moral victory"
Did Ouimet believe the burly
Californian would ever dominate
the professionals as he did the
amateurs?
Eyes 1 do. Perhaps not quite so
completely for the competition is so
much keener. But 1 do believe he
will live above all his rivals. You
know. Lawson, just as sure as my
putting touch is sour, is creating a
new era in golf. And he's doing it
by the tremendous accuracy with

lied behind his fine chucking to

inning.

An irate high school tennis play
er strobe into the office of the
Press recently, and demanded he
be shown the sports editor. l sigh
ed resignedly thought up half
dozen quick alibis to fit any occa-
sion and heard his story.
However, it wasn't I who had
incurred the wrath of the high
school tennis team, but Ed Han
nah, coach of the CaleXico racket
GERS. Hannah, it seems, protested
the claim of the Spartans to the
tennis championship of the valley
Hannah said that he was under
the impression the Imperial Valley
tournament, to be held in Ell Cen
tro April II, would determine the
championship. rather than the Win
ner OF the round robin meet. We
, might remind Hannah at this point
that the net title of the valley was
decided by round robin meets last
year and that he seemed fully
aware of that fact last season.
After much discussion Coach Joe
Burcham kindly consented to let
Hannah have his way and have the
I. V. tournament decide the team
championship instead Of the round
robin meets.
We wonder if Hannah would
have remained in the dark about
the awarding Of the championship
had his team topped the round
robin schedule.
Bill Terry, manager of the New
York Giants, has decided 10 re-
turn to his old position at first
base instead of assigning Sam Les
lie, recently purchased from the
Dodgers, to the post.
Terry had originally planned to
coach the Giants from the bench
and let Leslie. take over the first
sack job. Bill however, is one of
the best first basemen in either
league, and perhaps the greatest
fielder of them all.
When Terry is playing at first
his infielders can let the old ball

and Terry will catch it whether
On the ground, high in the air, or
right in the groove.
On the other hand the Giant
infielders are inclined to aim their
pegs at Leslie, and as result lose
a precious split second in time.

as a practical matter a contest would
have been hopeless. The Maryland
