BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Professional golf circles in the
mid-Atlantic area are buzzing today
with the story of a mix-up in the
rules of golf involving Leo Walper, the
Bethesda, Md. professional who for
the second time won the P. G. A. sec
tional championship at Old Point
Comfortless than fortnight ago.
No official protest has been made OF
the incident and none is possible now,
since the score was duly recorded and
accepted by the committee in charge.
Furthermore Leo was entirely innocent
of any intention of breaking the rule,
even though, in fact, he did violate the
regulations of golf. according to AL
Houghton, his playing partner.
The situation arose on the fifteenth
hole of the second round in the P. G. A.
championship at the Chamberlin
Country Club. Leo hit a ball into
debatable territory, where "out of
bounds stakes marked the edge of the
playing territory.
Doubtful as to whether the ball was
out Of bounds. Houghton says Walper
played two balls to the green and
holed out in six strokes with each,
turning in a II to lead the field.
The score was certified by Houghton,
and was accepted by DR.. William C.
Barr, in charge of the scoreboard
Houghton made no protest at the time
and none later.
Evening star., 1938-05-04
Un'uittmg Rules Breach Nets
Walper Title; Pros Ignorance
Of Slip Bars Disqualification

The rules of golf say that only one
ball may be played, and that If a
provisional ball is played it shall be
continued in play only until the player
reaches the place where the previous
ball is likely to be.
Neither Walper nor Houghton was
aware of the rule, which means that
only one shot may be played with a
provisional ball and that only one ball
shall be played.
The whole situation. involved as 1t
is. cannot now deny Walper his title,
for Ralph Beach, president of the
Middle Atlantic P. G. A., has received
no protest and did not know of the
incident until advised by newspaper
men. Under the rules Of golf pro-
tests must be made at once, accord
ing to Beach, and any protest now
made would be invalid.
Walper returned a score Of 294 for
the 70 holes and won the tournament
by two strokes. Benny Loving, as
sistant pro at Congressional. and Bob
by Cruickshank sOf Richmond, Va,
tied for second place at 296.
1t all adds up to unwilling ignor-
ance of the rules of golf, so Hough-
ton admits. Il didn't know the rule
and neither did Leo" said Al. For
that reason I made no protest and
will make none"
So even the pros can make mis-
takes in the rules of an involved
game.

LONDON, May 4.-Henry Cotton's
popularity declined to new depths
when the British open golf champion
failed to show up to compete in the
Dunlop p-Southport $1,000 tournament.
Hilarious Henry entered, but decided
not to play because:
CD He doesn't approve of 36-hole
qualifying round.
(2) He doesn't like short courses.
go The ground is too hard.
(4) He's busy.
The rest of the British golf pros
resent his independence because they
say sponsors lose money on tourna-
ments in which he fails to compete
and will in the future refuse to put
up good purses if he maintains this
attitude.
They also say, off the record. Henry
didn't give all the reasons for not
competing. The main one they say Is
because he's putting so badly he hasn't
even made his expenses in two major
tournaments this year.
Never really first-class putter, Cot
ton has changed his style since he won
the British open at Carnoustie last
summer.
Now he's standing up with his legs
as stiff as stills and steering every putt
he hits. From tee to green Cotton
perhaps even more today than last
year is the perfect golfer.
But when he gets his putter In his
hands on fast green, he's just an
other golfer.
