 Reports from New York that Montague planned to enter the British open and amateur tourna- mentS, prompted suggestions that tho Royal and Ancient Golf club, ruling body of the championships, might not consider him desirable"
 The publicity he received through the fabulous tales of his abilities plus his recent trial in New York state In which he was acquitted thought, cause the naughty R, and of robbery charges might, it was A. to shoot Montague.
 But it said today that Monty was perfectly "okey" 70 long as he Is in tho good graces of the United States Golf association.

 "I beg to state that any entry for our championships would require to bo submitted by tho United States Golf association. If sue han entry were so submitted it would be ac- ceptcd,"
 Actually there is nothing in the championship rules-and both coun- tries have almost identical codes-- to prevent Montague from compete Ing In England. It oil depends ou the U, S. c. A.

BallyhOo?

BnIIyhOOY
 New York, Dec. 3--(UP)-A re. turn engagement of golfers John Montague and Babe Ruth this time to q select" gallery that won't clim btros or swear at copS-was demanded today by Marty Forkins who wants to wager "any amount" that Montague is the better golfer.
 Forkins, who is manager of Mon- tagic, was incensed by Ruth's statement that he had licked the Hollywood mystery man in four straight Socialable matches.
 T will cover anything the Babe feels lik0 risklng," Forkins said. "I'd like to have them meet in 6 charity match"
 There appeared little room for argument, however. because Ruth had professed to believe that Mon- taguc was his superior ct golf and had loset only because he was out of practice. Ruth was reluctant to acknowledge his victories. and did so only after being questioned for days by sports writers who had heard reports of them.
 The Montague-Ruth match at Fresh Meadow c. c. last month was halted after nine holes when the gallery of i2,000 virtually mobbed the players.
