years and more ago Gil was top
notch player, known from Palm Beach
to st. Andrews for his lengthy tee
shots. his scrappy heart and his eccen-
tricities. Gil was a Henry Picard or
q Ralph Guldahl, a top notcher who
never wore the champions crown.
IT ADMIT that the sand wedge and
steel shafts have made some
changes in the game" Gil said as he
sat in the grill at Columbia, and chin
ned over old times with Fred Mcleod,
the griZZled little gent who won the
national open in 1908, when Gil was
at his best.
But don't you think Freddie,
that the way they build up the
greens nowadays has more to
do with 1t than anything else?
1--WE didn't have those built-up
green's in our day. We couldn't play
a full braSsie shot to a green and have
1t hold because the green was soft and
we couldn't pitch the ball right at the
pin. We had to play shots and rolls
and not clubs. Garden City is the old
time type, of course, where some Of the
greens slope away from the shot I
didn't notice that the boys burnt that
one up last September, did you,
Freddie?
Sure. these boys of today are really
good. They play fine golf but I'd like
to see EN- smack down one of the old
time courses like they do these courses
with built-up greens. I don't think
they'd score 285 at Garden City, just
for example"

wv might mistake it for . new
4 4 cocktail, but 1t looks as II
Walter Hagen. the gent who dragged
professional golf out Of the caddy-
house and put 1t in the bar. has come
fairly close to the end Of his competi-
tive career.
They've been coaxing Walter out Of
night clubs in time to show on the first
tee for q good many years and the guy
has been able to laugh it of, but now
it seems that A years and life Of
rollicking care have caught up with
him.
II that be the case, it's shame, for
no gayer, more picturesque figure ever
lined up a putt than the slick-haired
Walter.
Now . Mere Competitor.
For years the P. G. A. tournament
was Hagen's show. He won 1t five
or six times until q fellow named
Sarazen came along. even cocker than
Hagen, and fellow named Diegel
smacked him down. And now Walter
has failed to qualify In his pet tourney.
Nor has Walter won any considerable
dough over the past two or three years.
He used to be cock of the walk, the one
guy feared in every golf show. but
today he's just another competitor
but what q competitor.
Even in these days, when Walters
competitive sun Is in almost complete
eclipse, he packs the crowds. Walter
could take IS and draw 500 people
doing it, while some less spectacular
performer-Guldahl for example
could do a IS and draw 20. It's the
old story of the guy with color look
ing good even when playing q lousy
game. And Walter never lacked
color. He has il even today, when
the hurricane Of IS years ago has
simmered down to a mere zephyr as
q winning golfer.
Once in a while he sticks in a great
round, one of those old Hagen rounds
when the nlblick shots are biting up
divots around the pin, the puts are
rolling in, and the world smiles for
the Old Duke. But those great
rounds are few nowadays.
Out Of Running Now.
THE parade has passed by Walter,
for he hasn't the sound swing of
Willie MacFarlane to fall back on as
his Joints begin to creak. Walter never
has been a great stylist. AS an in
spirational golfer, he was tops. When
the ball was rolling for him he was
the best But he was hardly the
soundest swinger in the game.
Coming generations OF golfers are
going to miss the elamor Of the old
master. He had everything in his
best days. including q millions bucks
or 80. A charter member of the
Dawn Patrol, the Hagen man didn't
play tournaments to play golf. He

He used to be the Winter pro at
Seminole, near Palm Beach, one of the
better Florida clubs, but Wilfred Reid
has that Job this year. Back in April,
1917, Gil won his last tournament In
this area. 1t was q 36-hole affair, for
a small purse. and Gil and Jock Hutch
ison and Tommy Kerrigan went into
the last three or four holes in q virtual
deadlock. Tommy was o kid then and
a good golfer. But Gil won the tour
nament with finish Of 3, 3. 4 and 8
score around l48.
MONEY?" asked Gil. "Why we did
we'll II we picked up q S100 buck
purse. These boys Of today really have
gone out after the dough, and they
should get more. We didn't train IN
those days for golf. If we trained at
all. it was because the liquor was bad,
and we had good time. don't know,
but don't think the winners OF today
have as good time as we had"
Those were the days of Alex Smith
three times winner of the open cham
pionship. OF the almost legendary
Johnny McDermott, who vanished to
the limbo of an insane asylum after
grabbing two national titles, and of
golf pros who were good men, aside
from the mere business OF knocking
par for row OF stymies. But it wasn't
the day of low scoring.
Fred Mcleod, for example,
took 322 whacks for 70 holes
when he won the open cham
piOnship at MyOpia in 19OS
He won the play-off of a tie with
Willie Smith and there were SO entries.
That score today would finish around
l25th in the championship, and the
starring field would number around
1,2o0 ambitious guys. How the old
game has changed.
Down at Ormond, one day, Freddie
and Gil and some OF the other pros
were playing in little tournament for
purse that would be cigarette money
to the pros Of today. From John D.
Rockefeller's nearby home an emissary
came over and told EN- that Mr..
Rockefeller would put up S bucks for
the low round that afternoon. A few
moments he came back and told 'em
that Mr.. .Rockefeller-graciously-had
decided TO increase 1t to 10 bucks.
Tell Mr.. Rockefeller to take his 10
bucks and eat it." yelled one of the
pros. Johnny McDermott holed a 10

For instance. there is the one about
the two foot ball teams named Pat

Have you been asked to the Rose
Bowl" says Mike.
Hell. no." says Pat. I'm un-
defeated"
That gives you an idea of what
we are up against, and then, too. there
is the one where the guy says to the
other guy Who was that Rose Bowl
team I seen you with last night?"
And the other guy says That was
no Rose Bowl team, that was One
Eyed Connolly. He can get in any
where" The whole thing is in
Swedish dialect and makes a nice
build-up for a dance routine.
Still another funster writes in to
observe that Mr.. Arthur Brisbane's
gorilla could lick 'em both.
That makes the gorilla eligible for
the Sugar Bowl" he says.
From Bowls to Schmeling.
IT PROBABLY does, at that, but
your correspondent was in no
mood for fun and frolic, so he buried
his mail in six feet of earth and
went down to see Max Schmeling off
for Germany. Herr Schmeling is a
dependable fellow as a rule, sober
and grave and efficient Hamlet would
have liked to have had him around.
And Hamlet could have had him, too,
for 40 per cent of the gate and a
piece Of Denmark.
Herr Schmeling looked in good
health and spirits He made no COM
ment on the Rose Bowl, save to in
quire whether James j. Braddock
vas mixed up in 1t. Herr Schmeling
does not want James Braddock to
get mixed up in anything serious
until June 8, when the two Of them
will fight for the heavyweight cham
pionship Of the world.
IT am glad Jim has promised not
10 fight Joe Louis" said Max There
Is just a chance that he might get
knocked out, and that would make
. Joke Of the title, and I do not like
10 have anybody make a joke of the
title, because 1t will be my title pretty
soon"
Herr Schmeling's reasoning in this
ease Is easy to follow. He expects to
beat Braddock.
I'm sure I can do it," he said
Jim Is a good fighter, but can beat
him I can't tell you how I will 60
about it, because these things are con-

would beat Joe Louis? And didn't I
