Some so years ago. when Bar

sway as the biggest amusement
enterprise in the world. the great
Snowman had little cause to pay
attention to several small rival
circuses which sprang up. fer they
usually kept their distance.
The time came. however, when
one of them, headed by a young
Irish-American named James A.
Bailey, threatened Barnum's pres
tige. For one spring day in the
Bailey menagerie baby elephant
was born.
This baby elephant Immediately
became a greater attraction than
all of Barnum's colossal aggrega-
ton. and Bailey began packing
the crowds in. while the big
shows attendance fell off. Cha
grined beyond words. Barnum
wired Bailey an offer of 100000

Instead Of selling. Bailey had
prepared and displayed enormous
posters bearing q facsimile Of
Barnum's telegram, 10 which he
added IN box car letters. This is

And it is just that - wide open. Any one of
the more than 400 professional and amateur
golfers who entered the sectional qualifying
rounds has chance to win. In what other
major sport do you see 6O-to-l shot, like
Sammy Parks in the 1885 Open, or 3O-to-l
shot, like Tony Manero in 1885, win the blue
ribbon event? Max Schmeling was only 10 to
when he knocked out Joe Louis for boxing's
greatest upset.

prosperous professional or penniless caddy.
He may have come to the tourney in Pull

car 1t doesn't matter how he gets there. but
how he gets around the course once he's there.
The very manner in which the Open is con-
Quoted makes for uncertainty. 1t is, as you
know, medal play, and you can't win it just
by beating seven or eight opponents. one at
time, as you do in match play. You've got to
beat the whole field, all at once.
One bad shot can cost you victory in medal
play. Drive out of bounds, or top tee shot,

the winner.
Snead's 283 meant that to win l should
have to shoot the last eleven holes of the
rugged, rolling course at Birmingham, Mich,
in one under par. Indeed, it meant that l
should have to tie the record low score for the
Open set by Tony Manero in 1886. 1t seemed
well-nigh impossible.
But the very futility of the task was my
greatest advantage When l drove from the
