The gate fee will be q buck, almost

Fine Gesture by Pros.
The pros have agreed to accept
only expenses to Washington and to
Richmond, which is swell gesture
and one which again stamps pro
golf as played around the Capital 4
smart game. 1t means that the pros
do not always have their hands out
for touch. You can't say that about
all golf spots.
With such = contest coming up.
and the publicity tom-toms starting to
boom on the challenge angle and the
heavy dough bet on the affair, you
may find the biggest local gallery Of
the year stomping over Washington's
narrow, tree-fringed fairways on Octo-
Der l6. It's all bona fide, the cause
Is q good one, and the match will be
a whiz-bang. 1t should be worth any

Not that he needs them in golf. The
lad makes his own breaks in that
game. Give him couple Of weeks Of

the age Of ~ years he Is in his links
prime, but he has taken a little knock
ing around in the money league and
has not been able to play anything
but weekend golf.
Has Played Little This Year.
Rogers last tournament was the
District championship OF 1887. Back
in the groove Of former years he won
the medal at Columbia with . level
par round Of 70. and then vanished
before the hefty wallops Of Levi Yoder.
He hadn't had time to practice.
But he has done more work
on his game over the last fort
night than In several years and
he won't be anybody's push
over in the tourney.
In fact I'D guess that Roger will be
strictly the man to lick, although
there's = guy in there named Claude
Rippy who can thump q lot Of good
golf shots around anybody's links pas
ture. In between his last appearance
week Roger has tried to turn pro. He
wanted the job at Congressional and
he wanted the Job at Kenwood He
needed either Of them, for Roger
would like TO play golf and make q
little money at 1t, something he never
has been able to do. Neither job came
his way, which is no discredit to him.
The clubs simply wanted pros with
more experience and were unwilling
to gamble on q lad who hadn't shown
his ability to handle the details OF
q big golf job.
First Start in '38.
This tournament will mark Rogers
first start in a golf affair of any size
since September, 1887. He has played
in = few amateur-pro Journeys, like
the one they staged at Washington
yesterday, but he has eschewed the
more lengthy events stretching out
several days.
But he's in there to win this
