Pro golf is getting into the big
money class at last. It should have
been up there long ago. for when
you compare the earnings Of profess

around with those of ball players who
also know what it's all about the pro
golfer gets paltry return for his
showing of skill. But the P. g. A.
is going to put stop to that. and in
doing it probably will also stop the
run Of small-town tournaments for
three grand and less.
The Professional Golfers Associa-
ton is committed to policy Of not
indorsing any open tournament over
the 72-hole route which carries prize
money of less than $1,000. 1t Is prac-
tically stop order to the smaller
towns who cannot afford to spend that
much money and have done o. K. with
tournaments for half that. But at
the same time it puts the pro Cor those
who can finish in the money! in a
spot where he can grab some real
dough. It hasn't always been 50,
when tournaments with $4,000 were
the rule rather than the exception.
Trend Toward Big Money.
But the trend nowadays Is toward
bigger money affairs for the pros and
fewer Of them. There's the Cleveland
open next week. for example, where
$4,000 will be spread around among
the men who are good enough to get
in the money positions. But the real

ROUCHED REFEREE
RULES DUSEK OUT
Ernie Pins Casey to Mat,
Then Floors Official, Who
Won't Call Fall.

BY the grace Of unusual ofnciating
and Ernie Dusek's anxiety to remedy
the situation, Steve (Crusher) Casey,
champion Of the Paul Bowser mat cir
cult, still retains his hollow honor to-
day, and Ernie. recognized as the fore
most villain in the graphing game,
discovers himself in the unfamiliar
role Of . hero.
Some 1000 spectators last night at
Grifiith Stadium, prepared for the
usual quota Of vaudeville antics in the
feature match, registered mild sur
prise when Casey and Dusek, repre-
senting rival factions in the mat IN
dustry, confined themselves to mere
wrestling. There were few optim-
istic souls who ventured the opinion
the twisting wasn't prearranged.
Referee Breaks Ernie's Holds.
Ernie clamped japanese neck locks
on Casey and Referee AL Morelli. i'm
ported expressly for the occasion, ac-
commodated the towering Irishman
by breaking the holds. The trans
formed member of the Dusek tribe
generated increasing disrespect for
Morelli each time he was forced to
break the legal hold, finally swatting
the referee.
Morelli's pudgy frame squashed to q
one-point landing. but he staggered
up, disqualified Ernie and raised
Crushers hand In token Of victory.
For that decision he received another
persuasive right from Dusek and when
he elected to arise again Ernie prompt
ly belted him back on the canvas for
the third time. Morelli remained in .
horizontal position until Ernie was
Gained by the gendarmes.
Morelli Misses Fall.
Morelli, an Official of the National
Wrestling Association, which takes
such things seriously. previously had
aroused the wrath Of the customers
when he neglected to count out Casey
earlier in the match. Dusek had
Casey's shoulders pinned for at least
a five-count. but by the time Morelli
discovered the cheese champion was
down, Casey had wiggled a shoulder
of the mat.
