Pinehurst, N. C.. April 6-CUP)- Two siayes ago, in one of the most brilliant monographs ever to How From my pen (and when say ''flow from my pen' I mean hammered from my portahle'O I renounced professional baseball and adopted golf as my career.
 Yesterday I played in my first Important tournament-the north and south championship at Pine hurst. Knowing that it would be bad taste to describe my own round, I arranged to have 8 Linde Fowler of the Boston Transcript, the dean of American golf writers, play with me and report my progress.
 Mr. Fowler has reported golf for B7 years, and in that span has witt messed @ national championships, seven Walker cup matches, numer- Ous Ryder cup engagements, and known intimately such masters as Harry Vardon, Ted Ray, James Braid, J. H. Taylor, Alex Herd, George Duncan, Abe Mitchell, Bob- by Jones, Walter Hagen-in fact all the golfing greats.
 As we walked from the 18th green after sinking long, curling downfall and fourth-putts, MT. Fowler paid me compliment always will cherish.

Body Attack Won for Puerto Rican; Title
 Bout Ahead

New York, April 6-(UP)-It was a close fight and the galleryites thought lightweight champion Lou Ambers had won, but referee and judges unanimously agreed that Pe- dro Montanez, Puerto Rican, had earned the 10-round decision.
 The Herkimer Hurricanes title was not on the line because both fight CTS were over the 135-pound limit last night, but there was little doubt that Lou would still be wear ing the crown had the battle gone the 15-round championship dis tance. Montanez weighed 138 1-2; Ambers 137.
 Montanez's powerful body attack piled him up 8 huge margin in the first half of the fight, but Ambers' strong finish had the Puerto Rican groggy at the final bell. He won the sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth rounds easily and appeared as sfresh as at the start, while Montanez was both legs and arms weary.
 Victory for Pedro was supposed to mean a title bout this summer, but Madison Square garden promoter Jimmy Johnston indicated that the flashy islander would have to meet the winner of the May 2 Ambers- Tony Canzoneri championship match in another "over-the-weight" 12 round battle before he would get a title bout.
 Few of the 17,OOO fans, who paid $54, ,257 to see the fight, realized what terrific body barrage Ambers ab- sorbed in the the first five rounds. All they could see was Montanez head bobbing back as Lou shot home thoS rapid inside right uppercuts.
 Lou hit the canves in the first round, but was up with no count, and said afterwards he had slipped. Montanez' best round was the third when he rocked the champion with two hard rights that left his a little groggy.
 Lous took the loss philosophically.
 Sure, I think won, but what difference does 1t make. I've still got the title and can lick him at the weight over IS rounds any day in the week. He never hurt me once."

 I hope this training will enable me to finish up front. Leaving my. self out of my own selections, pick Kelley, Les Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., and Girard Cote of Canada to be the first three finishers, but not in that order!

 His report of my round follows:
 somebody once said, Until you've had delirium tremens you ain't seen nothing I say, Until you've seen McLemore play golf, you ain't seen delirium tremens.'
 ''F1e and I played in the qualify ing round of the north and south championship and led the field quite while, for we started at 7:30 a. m., finished at 1O:01, so far ahead of the next pair that many thought we had picked up at the ninth.

 Actually, we did play the full eighteen and passed in our custom ary returns. N. C., which in any other state means mo card but down here means North Carolina. McLemore thought it would be best not to have the cards posted be- cause most of the field had not start ed by the time we finished, and if the others saw our scores they would consider the course too difa- cult and not play.
 Tt is 8 shame he is not equally considerate of the shrubbery, birds and trees on the course.

But I couldn't keep my mind on my game, was to fascinated watch ing my partner. He spends three minutes on every tee fixing his grip. His process is much akin to a pie col polayer lingering the portholes. Once the ngers are quiescent, the footwork begins, placing his feet off a stance, McLemore does a dance that Fred Astaire couldn't manage even if stung by bee. It is a cross between rhumba, the double shuf- fle and pure restlessness.
 T have 1t from McLemore that he is looking for a professional berth in golf. Hewants to be the profess sional at some club. I am sure he wants to be the teaching pro, not the playing pro. This is wise, be- cause he can't play. Maybe he can teach. Certainly he can if there is a field for a teaching pro whose motto is Watch me and do it some other way
 "In summing up his game I would say 1t isunusual. There's nothing like it anywhere else in the world. For that every greens keeper in the world should be thankful. He can do more damage to turf in fivemin- utes than 5000 Japanese beetles, working in relays, can do in year."
 Thank you, MT. Fowler, but if I had been watching the greatest players in the world for 37 years and still had to name the explosion shot of the tee as my best stroke, I would not criticize a new conner who, despite your Encouragement, some day wil lsweep acros sthe golf- ing heavens like subway train.

GOLF WIDOW OF WALTER HAGEN GETS DIVORCE
Advises Against Marriage to GOlfer-Ganle an Ob=
 session to ''Haig" %

Deal, N. J., April 6.-(UP)-Mrs. Walter Hagen, Americas golf widow No. l, signaled the opening of the spring golf season today by advising all women against marrying con- 1irrned golfers.
 She has just won a divorce from her famous husband on grounds of assertion, but Hagen's overwhelming interest in golf, she told the United Press, was the real reason for their separation.
 To other golf widows Mrs. Hagen sent this message:
 My heart goes out to you, for l realize as do few others, the pathos and tragedy for your lives. Un- less woman is a golf addict her. sel; she should never marry con- firned golfer. It can only end on the rocks"
 While her ex-husband toured the South African fairways with Joe Kirkwood, Mrs. Hagen sat in her country home here and discussed her married life with Walter, whose obsession for golf made me a mere inident in his life"
 We first met at the Essex Coun- try club at Windsor, Canada, in 1920" she said. "He was on the green measuring putt-and how many times have I seen him meas ure one since!
 We met next at Belle Aire, Fla, where we became engaged and were married. Naturally I learned to play golf. was fascinated by the new game and the ease and perfection with which Walter played 1t. When he first gave me institutions I think I averaged about 20 strokes to the hole. Now I play pretty fair game"
 Mrs. Hagen said that she accom- panied her husband to most of the big tournaments from 1923 through 1926. They made four trips to Eng land and the Continent.
 But so far as our home life in this country was concerned I might just as well have stayed abroad" she said. Walter lived golf, asleep and awake"
 Before dinner and after dinner he was practicing strokes in the living room. He would pause in his shorts, while preparing to retire, to take 2 couple of final swings be- fore turning out the light"
 Dinner parties in the Hagen home also were ruined for Mrs. Hagen when golf reared its ugly head.
 T always held my breath at those parties," she said. Usually things would go along smoothly for a few minutes. Then somebody would say I've been slicing terribly lately, Walter
 "'Well,' Walter would say, let's see your grip The guest would demonstrate with knife or fork, and in less time than it takes to tell 1t, the guests were all gripping sil- verware, and for me at least, the evening would be ruined"
 And golf stories!
 T thought I'd go insane at the repetition of golf1ng stories," Mrs. Hagen recalled. "They were new and interesting, of course, to those who had not heard them before, but old -so old-to mel"
 The reporter asked Mrs. Hagen what woman should do if her hus- band acquired the golf habit after marriage:
 "Be patient" she said, "but be firm"
