Strangely enough, the game of golf, which offered Johnny Good man his first opportunity to earn some money, holds no appeal to him as a career. The new amateur champ has no intention of turning professional now that he has achieved his goal.
 Johnny was a little shaver when he happened to be passing the Field Club in Omaha, Nebraska, and saw the youngsters trudging along IT carrying bags filled with clubs. He inquired about a job and got one.
 It was natural for him to become interested in the game. It was not long before he was swinging along with the other bag-toters. At first it was a lefthanded club. Someone had given him a set of southpaw utensils. They were all he had for a couple of years so for that period he was a left-handed golfer. Later llc lul llCQ dlOulid' buo, eO OAAio N"y he can go out and shoot lefthand- ed game and turn in a respectable score.
 Johnny wasn't born with silver spoon in his mouth, as the golfing world well knows. That he has managed to fight his way to the top of the game despite being born on the wrong side of the railroad tracks is a compliment to his per- severance and to his determine tion. He has had more than his share of bad breaks. A less cour- ageous youth would have dropped by the wayside, long, long ago. Goodman first broke into the limelight by trouncing the great Bobby Jones in the 1929 National Amateur at Pebble Beach. He won the National Open in 1883. But something always happened to thwart his attempts to win the Ma tional Amateur. He kept right on trying. This year he finally caught up with the title when he downed Ray Pillows of Portland, Ore. Sc now he has joined Jerry Travers Chick Evans, Francis Ouimet and Bobby Jones as the only men tc win both the National Open and the National Amateur.
 All through his match to fame Goodman has carried his favorite war cry, "wham dittie," his expres- sion when a shot pleased him "Wham ditty" is his slogan. Long may it resound on the golf courses of the land!

 EARN HONORS
 FOR BASEBALL

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Sept. 14.-When the sport writers make their Most Valuable Player" award for the Ma tional League this year. the record of Joe "Ducky Wucky'' Medwick, twenty -year-old Cardinal out fielder, will have a strong claim for attention
 This right-handed slugger has, since May, maintained an average close to the 400 mark and he has led the league in nearly every other department of offensive play. He has paced the league in home runs, doubles, runs batted in, runs scored and hits, trailing only in three-basgers
 Joe has also led both major leagues in batting average, doubles, runs batted in and hits. Joe is having the best season since break ing into the majors with the Cards late in 1932
 In the Major League All-Star game, Medwick set new record by collecting four hits. On August 4, against Boston, he hit four doubles in one game to tie major league mark and against Philadelphia on August ' and he banged out five home runs in three games to tie National League record.
 Joes fielding record also stands out. Only one error has been charged against him and he has turned in number of brilliant catches. His powerful throwing arm is respected by base runners.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IA. = The record hitting streak-53 safe ties in 53 consecutive games-of Ted Emery, outfielder for the Phil adelphia Gas Works team in the Industrial League, is attracting no little attention from baseball scouts who are wondering why Emery doesn't want to get into the big leagues.
 Ted started out on sandlot ca reer at the age of fifteen when the Benner A. A. team was organized and for three years played in the Suburban League with that club. Later he made a southern trip with the Baltimore Orioles.
 But despite all offers from or ganized baseball, Ted still says he prefers the sandlot teams.

FROM PROFITS TAX
Would Boost Normal Cor.

Lost Revenue.
PROTECTION is FAVORED
UP TO $4,000 INCOME
No Decision Reached by subcom-
mittee, However, on Just
Where to Draw Line.

Py the Associated Press
A House Tax Subcommittee tenta-
lively agreed today to increase exemp-
lions from the undistributed profits
tax and to make up some of the lost
revenue by boosting the normal cor
pOrate tax.
Chairman Vinson said committee
members had talked of granting COM
plete exemptions from the undistrib-
uted profits levy to corporations hav-
ing net incomes of $4,000, SIS, 1000 and
up to $4,000. No decision was
reached, however, on where to draw
the line between firms that would pay
the undistributed profits levy and
those that would not.
Previously the committee had de.
cided on full exemptions for corpora
tons with incomes up to $4,000.
II the exemption is granted to $40 900
corporations, Mr.. Vinson said, the Fed
eral revenues would be reduced by an
estimated s28,OOo.o0o.
An exemption up to $4,000 would
cost S35000,000 and up to s25. 900
some s50000,000.
A s50,000,000 reduction could be
made up, however, the chairman as
serted. by restoring the normal cor
poration tax to the approximate levels

Its tax was enacted last year. Those
rates were 1872 per cent on the first

on the next $4,000 of income, IA per
cent on the next $4,000 and Is per
cent on all above $4,000
Three Years Grace Urged.
In another step to ease the tax load
on business. Mr.. Vinson said the sub
committee tentatively had decided to
exempt corporations emerging from
bankruptcy. or reorganization, from
the undistributed profits tax. But the
exemption would be only for the three
years after they came out.
An exemption Of all corporations
having earnings up to S25 900 would
take care of about SO per cent of the
Nations corporations that had net in
come last year.
A $4,000 limit would held 77.s per
cent OF the firms and a $4,000 top
would aid 1895 per cent.
Mr.. Vinson asserted that I'VE had
debts and plant expansion in mind"
in making the tentative decisions to-
day.
Could Pay Up Debts.
The chairman explained that if the
committee finally determined that all
corporations with income up to s25, 900
should be exempt from the undistrib-
uted profits levy the corporations
could use any part, or all, of their
earnings to pay off debts or expand
their plants and thus would need no
additional relief on that score.
Corporations with deficits and i'm
paired capital would be helped SINH
larly he said.
He added that committeeman still
were studying the question of extend
ing some form of partial exemption to
the larger corporations which will not
be freed entirely of the undistributed
profits tax load.
