Golf Is Their Main Job.

HARRY COOPER finished fourth
and Ed Dudley was fifth. Both
Cooper and Dudley are on the Spal-
ding staff. Harry has no club con-
nection and plays tournament golf
all the time, Ed has a Summer job
at Philadelphia and a Winter Job at
Augusta, but wherever the tourna-
ments are, there you'll find him.
Clarence Clark, who finished seventh,
has job In Jersey, but he's also a
tournament player.
John Goodman, first amateur:
Frankie Strafaci and Charlie Kocsis,
who finished eighth. ninth and tenth,
are slnon-pures who play plenty of
golf even though they don't follow
the tournament circuit.
But getting down lower, you'll find
barazen, Shute, Picard, Runyan and
Mangrum. All five of these are reg
ulars along the tournament circuit.
men who do little else than play
tournament golf. It's getting so that
club pro who holds close to his Job
hasn't much chance against the tour
nament players these days.

j. s. OPEN OFFERS
TELLING EXAMPLE
10 of Leading Is Are Men
Who Compete Mainly in
Big-Time Affairs.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.


IF THERE ever was any doubt that
the winning OF major golf cham
pionships is tightly held in the
L overlapping fists of men who give
practically all their time to playing
in tournaments the late national open
championship at Detroit settled 1t.
Scanning the lists of fnishers you'll
fnd that 10 of the first IS were regu-
lar tournament players who do little
else but play in the major links af-
fairs; three were amateurs who play
plenty of golf, and the other two were
pros who have regular club jobs and
to whom tournaments are more or less
side line.
Which gives all the more credit
to Bobby Cruickshank, the 43-year-
old Scotsman who holds down the
pro berth at the Country Club of
Virginia. Bobby is tournament
player, to be sure, in the sense that
he plays in most of the big ones that
happen along near his home town;
but he also is a club pro. most Of
whose time is devoted to giving les
sons and playing with his members.
Cruickshank an Exception.
THAT he finished third in the
championship is proof that the
fine-playing club pro still has a
chance against the tournament troup-
ers who eat, sleep and dream tourna-
ment golf-and stroke saving. But
only an outside chance at best.
But by and large, the guys who
play the tournament loop from jan
uary to December are the guys who
finish up in the heavy dough in the
big tournaments these days. You
can't expect to play we'll in tourna-
ments after giving lessons all the
time" Fred Mcleod said years ago.
It's just as true today and even
more true for a definite group of
tournament players who do little else
has developed from the practice of the
manufacturers of subsidizing mem
bers of the pro delegation who win
their spurs in tournament golf
Ralph Guldahl, the winner of the
championship, was picked off the
dust heap of the links two years ago
by Lou Icely, head of Wilson's big
golf concern in Chicago Icely busted
him Off filled him full of that old pep
and ginger, and now he's won. Gull
dahl plays the tournament circuit
and has no club Job.
Sam Snead, golf's 24-year-old
freshman, who finished second, has
job at White Sulphur Springs, w.
Va. but Sam isn't around there very
much. He plays in tournaments all
the time. Then comes Cruickshank,
in third position a REGULAR club nrn
