I AWSON is one of those unusual

rare competitive temperament that
flames to new heights when the going
Is hard. He had so many narrow
squeaks during 1884 and 1885, matches
when it looked as if he was in for
shellacking, and came from behind
to win, that no one who followed his
career can help but regard him as
one Of the finest match players who
ever drew on cleated shoe.
> There have been a few great match
players to thrive on man-to-man
combat, men like Jerry Travers, who
wasn't so hot at medal play; Walter
Hagen, Gene Sarazen and John Ball,
eight or nine times British amateur
king. Men of this stripe can't seem
to get going in the comparative calm
of medal play, but in match play when
an opponent lays one up against the
pin their spirit flames like meteor.
Such a man is Lawson Little. He
has proven it again as a pro, after 81
consecutive victories in amateur match
play against the best of the United
States and Britain.
Not Just Another Pro.
WHEN Lawson turned pro during
Nv the Jones tournament last April
q lot of knowing folks scratched their
chins and opined that the amateur
king was stepping into a batch OF
trouble; that as pro he wouldn't be
worth dime, and that he would be-
come just another golfer, like some
of the prominent amateurs who turned
professional. But Lawson has given
them another jolt.
He has turned from the grim-faced,
taciturn match player of his amateur
days to a more gracious individual
who finds his new spirit aids him in
winning. And his game has the same
potency it had against the amateurs.
Professional golf probably is shot
or two round ahead Of the best
amateur golf, but Lawson was shot
Or two ahead of the amateurs, which
put him fairly close to the best of

He was drawn against one of those
altogether charming English lads, a
tall boy with pink cheeks and a casual
manner, who swung from the port
side. The English lads name was
Langley and he was a member of the
British Walker Cup team, which
should have been the tip-off to Gene.
The British don't put punks on their
teams.

recounting the match. "And we were
having good time. Langley was
such a nice boy, so pleasant and

birds sang sweeter that morning
than they'd ever sung, and the trees
were greener, and everything was
lovely. I got up at the seventh

the matter was settled and l be-
came an actor!
My father was a strong-minded
man and, even though my mother
rooted for a musical and for a
doctors degree, 1 was sent to st.
Petersburg University to study
law. But I'm just a chip off the
old Ratoff block-I've got a strong
will, too-and after I'd completed
the law course, with honors (sic),
I felt that histrionics was far bet

badly.
Hollywood was almost saved
from me as an actor by the World

enough to change my mind. The
two years I spent in the Russian

only added fuel to the histrionic
fires burning within me.
