PURSES TO RIVAL
BOOM-T|ME DOUGH
Miami's $4,000 Open May
Not Remain Country's
Only 5-Figure Event.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.


HROSPERITY is coming back on
- the professional golf front.
With more than 100000 won
= during 1886, the current year
Is showing signs of reaching toward
the boom days when $4,000 purses
were fairly common. and when Aqua
Caliente put on, for few years, a
$4,000 open with first money set at
10 grand.
Chicago really is going through
with plans for $4,000 open tourney
next Summer, according to Herb Graf
ifs, editor of couple of golf magazines
in the Windy City, and plans are in
the making for at least one major
open tourney that may carry $4,000
in prize money.
Liquor Interests Plan Tourney.
COME of the liquor people are dab
bling with the idea for at least one
tournament carrying that much i'm
portant dough on the theory that the
name and fame of "Old Catamount''
will be spread through the Nation fol
a couple of weeks, and the pros them
selves aren't against it.
They'll 60 wherever the money is
and really big purse will reach out
and gather in all the headliners wher-
ever they may be. Remember when
Gene Sarazen hoped out to California
for the Aqua Caliente tournament?
He played in only the one affair and
he won the 10 grand first prize.
Golf never has had the purses o1
other top line sports, but the way mat
ters now are shaping up it looks as il
1887 will see the dawn of big-money
era that will make 1928 and 1922 ap-
pear like piker years. For the last
six years the Biltmore affair with
$4,000 in prize dough has been the
big money tournament Of the year
the one purse that ran into five fig
ures. but it won't be along this y r,
if word seeping through the pro ranks
is the Mccoy.

Taxpayer Is Considered.
THESE questions include: /. Whether
the stadium, erected and main
tanned by taxpayers money, should be
leased for a. spectacle, the prices for
which might be beyond the average
citizens purse; 2. Whether the board
should compete with a private facility
such as the White Sox club, paying
taxes which help maintain Soldier
Field; 3, and if so, would it not be
justified in charging IS per cent of the
gross receipts Of huge proflt-seeking
enterprise, rather than the usual 10
per cent?
The board was expected to make
its decision by Monday or Tuesday at
the latest.
Triner said Louis, who meets Matte
Brown In 10-round bout at Kansas
City next Wednesday night, and Brad
dock, who has a refereeing engage.
ment the same evening, would have
ample time to reach Chicago by Fri.
day for the signing.

Site Question Unsettled.

Site question Unsettled.
TRINER made the announcement
after a telephone conference with
Sheldon Clark, head of the Sporting
Club. Weary of delays, Clark told
Triner and Joe Foley, matchmaker
for the club. to set signing date.
notify the fighters and their man
ayers and take care of the obstacles
as quickly as possible.
The main obstacles are to lineup
Soldier Field, or convince Gould that
Comiskey Park, the Chicago White
Soxs home, would be just as good a
spot Whether Soldier Field may be
obtained will not be known until the
park board controlling the stadium
has had an opportunity TO null over
questions Of policy.

DOROTHY VAN KEUREN
SPEAKS AT COLLEGE

Miss Dorothy Belle Van Keuren
commercial demonstration for the
Mississippi Power and Light Co.,
who graduated from Belhaven in
1884, was one of two speakers
who addressed the student assem-
bly, at Belhaven last Saturday.
Miss Van Keuren talked about
her work and how her college
training as a home economics
major under Miss Annie Sale had
prepared her for the position
which takes her to l9 towns to
demonstrate electric and gas
appliances both before and after
they + sold.
Miss Van Keuren urged stu
dents who aspired to her field to
take advantage of every opportun
Iity in college since a demonstra-
tor must be able to answer all
sorts of questions and get along
with all types of people. She
stressed the Importance of an at
tractive personality, a sense OF
humor, interest in people, court
esy and careful grooming. She
said hat health was of primary
Importance and a thorough col.
lege education absolutely neces-
sary.
She suggested that all aspir-
ants take tipping and public speak
ing. She spoke of her constant
use of her training in art, taken
under Miss Bessie Lemly. She
also said that her psychology
book stood on her desk.
Miss Van Keuren taught home
economics for a year after gradu-
alton. She said that this expert
ence meant as much to her as any
year in college.
Miss Van Keuren is the daugh-
ter of G. G. Van Keuren of this
city.
