By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. CUP)-If
war CONF and America has to
mobilize quickly, here is a hint for
the war department.:
Announce a golf tournament with
a first prize of $4,000 in cash for
the winner.
Before the first general can get
his epaUlettes pinned on, and while
the songWrlters still are hunting for
a word to rhyme with Czechoslo-
vakia, half the healthy men in the
country will have reported for duty.
And what is more, they'll be armed
with clubs.
No call Tor volunteers, no Selective
draft ever rounded up SO many
able bodied Americans as did the
announcement a few months ago
that there would be such golf
tournament, with such a first prize,
at the FenWay Country Club in
Westchester county, New York. 1t
starts the middle of this week, and
those foreign nations who aren't
afraid Of us, probably will be after
they see the parade Jf manly might
around the first tee.
Figures from the tournament
headquarters indicate that every
male citizen between 81 and so who
has so much as a pItter. a driver
and one golf ball, will be there. The
entry list reads like the 1880 census,
and the postman who has been
bringing the entries is so weary he
can scarcely ring once, much less
twice.
The thought of winning $4,000
has caused hope not only to beat,
but to fairly clatter and batter, in
The breast of buffers who couldn't
break a 100 with cheating privileges.
Clubs which were last swung when
the feather ball was in vogue are
being brought down from the attic
and polished, and men whose last
round was in the days of the sand
tees are cracking their vertebrae
with practice swings.
The fact that the entry lists in
cludes the names Of all the coun-
trys great golfers-Cooper, Smith,
Snead, Guldahl, Little, Manero,
Shute, Metz and all the rest-has
not dampened the enthusiasm of
the unknowns one whit. The S. 1000
prize has gone to their heads like
strong wine, causing them to shake
the mothbaN5 from their plus fours
and dream of brides, eagles. and
holes in-one.
SO many Of them have enlisted
for the tournament that officials are
seriously considering aeding An ex-
