BIG MONEY MAKER
BEFORE FIRST WIN
Paul Never Worse Than 9TH
in Meet This Year Up
to Shawnee Classic.
BY BILL BONI,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK, July l8.-Paul Runyan,
dapper little champion who takes
everything in stride. today had turned
from the excitement of winning his
second National P. G. A. title to the
routine of his tasks as pro at the Me-
tropolis Country Club IN suburban
White Plains, N. Y.
Nothing disturbed the former Arkan-
sas caddie on the way to his first tour
nament victory of the year-neither
the Shawnee Country Club course, nor
the heat of the Delaware River Valley,
nor the fact that he went into his
title round match with Sam Snead a
2-1 underdog. He whipped them all,
and the odds most decisively, for his
margin of 8 and over Snead was the
most one-sided ever scored in 81 P. G.
A. final matches.
Settles to Routine Task.
And yesterday, just as if he hadn't
beaten out LOT of the country,s best
professionals for the pros own title,
Paul was back at his own club giving
lessons.
Runyan's performance in adding the
1888 title to the crown he won in 1884
with a 38-hole decision over Craig
Wood was climactic display of the
consistency which had enabled him to
hold seventh place among the years
money-WlnnerS despite the fact he
hadn't won a single tournament.
He set a record for all the boys to
shoot at by playing his last II holes
in the tournament in So pars, Is
brides and only l bogey. That bogey
came on the 23d hole of his match
with Snead, the hole slugging Sammy,
who was skying his drives the last
two days, was able to win.
Yet if the quiet, deliberate 30-year-
old veteran of nine seasons in the big
time was consistent at Shawnee, he
was no more so than he has been all
year long
Totals $4,000 in Prizes.
The soft spoon shots, fine iron play
and "Dead-eye Dick putting which
more than balanced Sneads superior
power and made sham battle of the
final have put Paul in the money in
II tournaments since January l.
They have given him S5,05816 in
prize money, including the P G. A.
lions share, and have brought him
home no worse than seventh in his
. last eight tournaments, including the
North-South and Kansas City opens,
in which he was runner-up; the
Augusta Masters, in which he was
fourth. and the national, in which he
was tied for seventh.
Snead, still the country's No. l
money-winner despite his defeat. also
still looks the best bet whenever the
boys tee off in their next major
tournament. He has been runner-up
in two Of the four national champion
ships he's played in, and Runyan
would be one of the first to admit that
the big boy will crash through some
day-probably soon.

After Shelton captured the first

taken 10 consecutive games. Not until
he had evened the match by winning
the second set. 13, and had a SO
lead in the third did he yield another
game to the Tennessean.
Had the Reservoir courts been OF the
quick-drying variety, the entire match
could have been completed yesterday
but the slight shower that fell for
about IS minutes around 2:30 o'clock
postponed the start nearly an hour.

McCarthy's Scalp Avenges
Babbish, Western Champ,
for Loss to Burke.
BY the Associated Press.


SOUTH BEND, Ind, July 18.-Rob-
ert Babbish, 23-year-old Detroit Uni
versity student, today held the West
ern amateur golf championship after
stalking a magnificent rally to defeat
the seasoned Maurice Mccarthy, Gin
cinnati. l up in their 36-hole final
yesterday.
Babbish, a smiling brown haired
youngster, achieved the first major
victory of his career In conquering
Mccarthy, an amateur of renown for
the last 10 years. Mccarthy. former
Walker Cup star and national inter-
collegiate champion, predicted the De-
troit youngster would go places in golf
He said Babbish possessed rare talent
and splendid temperament for the
game.
Started as Caddie.
Babbish. who started playing golf
as caddie II years ago, did not get
into major competition until last year.
when he participated in the national
open. He was a semi-finalist in the
national intercollegiate tournament
this year, losing to Johnny Burke of
Georgetown University He figures he
got even for that defeat, for Mccarthy
won his early golflng fame while at
tending Georgetown 10 years ago.
The victory of Babbish was a tri-
umph for youth and stamina over age
and experience. The Detroit youth
who plays from q to 36 holes of golf
daily, had the stuff at the end to
overcome the pressure which had been
upon him for almost six hours of play.
Mccarthy, who is 81, showed no signs
OF weakening until he came to the
34th hole, where he missed 2-foot
putt for par. This apparently un-
nerved the veteran and he drove a tee
shot on the 35th into the water, where
as Babbish was on the green and 10
feet from the pin. McCarthy's chip
rolled feet past the cup and he con-
ceded, making Babbish one up.
Makes Brilliant Iron Shot.
1t was the first time that Babbish
had been ahead since the 9th hole of
the first lS played yesterday morning.
1t looked for a moment as If he might
lose his advantage because he sliced
into a clump Of trees. while Mccarthy
hit powerful tee shot down the edge
OF the fairway. Babbish played out
safely and then hit the shot of the
day, a long iron to the edge of the
green. Mccarthy was square with him,
chipping up to within S feet. Babbish's
long putt rolled 2 feet past the cup,
while McCarthy's rolled over. Bab-
blsh then sank his for the victory.
He plans to compete in the Michigan
amateur, his next tournament, at Gull
Lake, Mich, Country Club next week.

any downward hurry or rush from
the top. The backswing, accom-
panied by a slight body sway, leads
to downswing that seems to float
from the top as it picks up speed
through the ball.

was equaled on the spectacular
side by Jimmy Hines feat Of ap-
