ton last year, and led all the fel- lows in money won. Yet Sam didn't quite win $20,000. Sam didn't make his money easily. He was playing nearly every day, through all sorts of weather. Whether he felt good, bad, or indifferent didn't make any difference. He had to keep going Out of his winnings he had to pay all of his expenses, and they run into money, even to 8 bachelor. Taken the open in Denver last year Unless a man lived in the neigh borhood, he went to Denver knowing he had to finish seventh or better to break even. And finishing sev- enth in an open these days, when the competition is so great, is some- thing no man can count 0f1-llot even Guldahl. One bad hole-one seven, eight or nine-and you are out of the running"
 Shute hasn't any solution for the problem. There has been @ remedy or two suggested, one being that the top ranking professionals, the ones with box office names. boycott the open unless the prize money is raised. But the pros never will dc that. They love golf too well, have too much of the live today and lei tomorrow take care of itself spirit
 They are the truest amateurs oi all, the golf professionals, and unless a voice is raised in their behalf they will go on walking their legs of trying their hearts out, and hali starving. Q
 have the voice (my Uncle Jake is former national hog calling champion) if someone will. just step up with the idea to holler about.

Philadelphia, June 8.-(UP)-A fighter wins the heavyweight cham pionship in 45 minutes or less-and a million dollars.
 A driver spins around the Indian apolis track for three or four hours and gets a check for $25,000.
 A tennis player captures the Wim- bledon or U. S. championship and cashes in for anywhere from $25,0o0 to $100,0o0.
 A baseball player hits $50 and gets a salary in the more serious five figure bracket.
 A golfer wins the National Open championship - and gets ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
 It doesn't add up, doesn't make sense. Not to Denny Shute, anyway, who thinks the time has come for professional golfers to demand that the winning of the games biggest tournament reward the victor with something more than haircut money.
 Shute isn't bitter about the blsi- ness, mind you, because golf has been kinder to him than to most of the men who play it for liv- ing. Enough butts dropped in the cup, enough drives and brassies split in the middle, to enable him to win the British Open title and two U. s. P. G. A. championships. He is eat- ing, and well, which is more than you can say for some of the boys whose careers are all wrapped up in maShies and spoons and wedges.
 But Shute thinks the pros are be- ing taken for suckers. '
 $1,000 Purse
 "Just try to figure out what sense the open makes" Shute said l-5t night after his final practice round for the 1889 open, which started to- day on the course of the Philadel- phia Country club. "The purse is $1,000. There were more than 1,10C fellows who paid the entry fee oi $5 in the hope of qualifying. That makes something like $6,000. and as half of the men who paid were pros you can see that those of us here are. actually playing for our owh money.
 Champions of other sports with as wide spread appeal as golf make lots of money. But not golf cham piorls. Sam Snead was a sensa-

NATIONAL OPEN GOES TODAY AT
 PHILADELPHIA
"Guldahl Agains f the Field" is Feeling on
 Eve of Golf Classic
By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports EditOr)


 Philadelphia, June 8-(UP)- Out across hills where traps leer at them from every bend of the skinny fair ways go the top shotmakers of gcii today in quest of the National Open championship = most coveted ot prizes in this ancient game.
 On tee and green, in locker room and caddy house, one chant goes up:
 "It's Guldahl against the field" Ralph Guldahl, a slope-shouldered man with nerves and pulse that grow steadier as the pace gets hotter, is trying for his third consecutive open championship in this tourna- ment of "A holes that ends at siin- down Saturday. Victor at Denver last year by six strokes, winner al Detroit in 1887 by two strokes, Gull dahl goes into this years open a six to one favorite-one of the short est prices ever laid on a player in this most uncertain of games. Among those who beleive he will win is Guldahl himself. He had an effortless 72 in practice yesterday and as he walked of the 18th green he remarked: T seemed to be hitting 'em all right; don't see why ] shouldn't win" Barring last-minute withdrawals there will be 165 of them, the pick of the nations amateurs and pros who will fire away at the Spring Mill course of the Philadelphia Country club for three days. They go IS holes today, IS tomorrow, anc then the 60 with the lowest scores trudge out Saturday morning for the final cruel grind of 36 holes. Plenty of the pros would take a score of 290 for the 72 holes right now and sit in the clubhouse and let somebody try to beat it. That is IA strokes above par, but par for the 6,786 yards of the course is 69 Snead Favorite
 It's a course for long hitters and that may be why Slammin' Sammy Snead, who belts them a mile when he's right, is expected to be right up in the battle. Snead is eight to one in the betting along with Byron Nelson, the 27 year old Texan who is as accurate with his woods as most men are with No. ' iron
 Behind those three = Guldahl Snead and Nelsor-come a dozen men who have the shots to win and need only abreak somewhere along the line to give them victory.
 Fresh from his triumph in the Goodall round robin tournament comes Lighthouse Harry Cooper, the hard luck guy of golf. Last year he was third in this tournament; in 1897 he was fourth; and in 1886 he was second. This may be his lucky year.
 Ed Dudley, home pro and superb stylist, knows every blade of grass at Spring Mill and wouldn't be a bad investment at IA to l, which is his current price.
 And all of the following need only break here and there to be near the top: Gene Sarazen, 20 to 1; Olin Dutra. IS to 1; Paul Runyan, IA tc l; Horton Smith 20 to 1; Ben Hogan 12 to l; Johnny Revolta, IA to 1; Lawson Little IS to 1; Jimmy Hines 15 to l; Craig Wood IS to 1. Willie TurneSa, seventh son of the teur champion of the United States golfing family of Turnesas and anna heads the score of simon pures who play for the credit of the cash.

GALE APPEARS
 TN SIX FOUNDER;
 WALLACE SHOWS
Local Boy Meets State Champion in Star
 Amateur GO
(BY HUGO HOOKJAB).

Assurances from the Bay State of Massachusetts wherein lies the city of Worcester have been strong enough to make Waterbury A. c. of- ficials believe that, in the person of Johnny Gale, they have the best boy yet secured to meet Waterbury's fighting Frenchman, Dick Ttircotte,
 The pair meet tonight in the main six round go of the third outdoor boxing program of the season at Randolph Cloves stadium.
 Gale and Turcotte top nine bout professional bill that ought to produce plenty of fistic fireworks from start to finish. In the principal amateur bout, Connecticut's middle weight champion '.F1ip" Andreas of New London is paired with the new knockout sensation, Joe Wallace, whose battering of Billy Perrin of Bristol surprised even his closest friends, two weeks ago. In Andreas, Wallace will be meeting an able young negro who has been quite a card around Norwich and New Lon- don, tough Wallace hits harder of the two and might hang up another knockout win if he can get his southpaw shots working before it is too late.
 New Workers Here
 Five Schnectady boxers are listed for their first local showings. They are Frankie Marsh who meets New Britain Bobby Ellis; Tom Fitzpat- rick, paired with Sammy Craig of Waterbury; Cliff Moran scheduled to test Jackie Perrin of Bristol; Lou Monty matched with Jackie Moriar- ty of this city and one other boy to be announced tonight. Frankie Mars and Frankie Pazden. the Oakville boys who once ruled the state light weights are also billed for action against formidable opponents.
 Warming Up
 Cool weather has kept attendance at outdoor boxing events down to a minimum all over the state, though tonight's crowd is expected to be comparable to some of the mobs that took in last summers shows at the centrally located stadium.
 Gales record of % wins in 30 fights indicates he is well able to make the good showing expected of him on the occasion of his initial Waterbury appearance, while Tur- cote can be depended upon to bring out the best his opponent has in the way of boxing ability.
 First bout is scheduled for 8:30 o'clock, announcer Jack Freney will appear in a blue ensemble, and tickets are going well at Mulligan's Restaurant, phone 3-9450. See you at the ringside.

Right elbow is kept close to side to keep clubhead inside line of flight.
 Should right arm wander too far from side, right hand is sure to as- sume control and ball will be struck from outside.
 Another reason for keeping right elbow close is to asure complete body turn.
 If, however, golfer has completed pivot yet has not been able to bring club to horizontal position in back swing, he may allow right elbow to leave side.
 But early in downswing it must return or clubhead will be thrown outside line of flight resulting in cut across ball. This will produce slice.
