Pros Sell Meet

The smallest man ever to win the
Professional Golfers Association
championship won his second title
by the biggest margin in the history
of the pro golf match-play tourna-
ment. Paul Runyan, the defending
champ, is a favorite to win again,
over one of the shortest layouts ever
picked for the long-range hitters of
golf, but the P. G.. A. tourney now in
its Esd year of competition has set
a number of records.
Here are few of them:
Walter Hagen won the champion
ship five times, four wins coming
in a row.
Gene Sarazen won three times,
and is the only man ever to hold
the P. G.. A. and the open champin-
ship in the same year. Gene won
the open at Skokie and licked EN-
NETT French in the 1922 P. G. A.
final.
Sarazen also was the hero of one
of COLTS greatest finishes, at Pei
ham in 1923, when he racked a
mashie shot inches from the pin
at the 38th to lick Hagen, who
dumped his second shot into a trap.
Gene was the youngest champ to
win the crown, grabbing the title at
the age of 81.
Smith Sought as President.
Harold McSpaden holds the record
for extra-hole matches, winning two
and losing one in the 1897 title tour
ney. The one he lost was the big
one-in the final round against
Denny Shute.
Hagen won % consecutive matches
in the P. G. A. tourney and finally
was stopped by Leo Diegel at Balti-
more Country Club in 1928 when Leo
holed a big putt across the 35th green
to win, and /.
The winner of the current tourney
Gf he is American-born automat-
ically will become a member of the
United States Ryder Cup team,
which plays the British at Ponte
Vedram, Fla, in November. Byron
Nelson, United States open champ,
already is on the team. Nelson can
win the P. G.. A., too.
And on that threatened strike
over the Denny Shute matter, the
pros want Horton Smith to take
the presidency. But Horton doesn't
want 1t. He could have had it sew
eral years ago and turned it down.
He may be coaXed to take it as a
compromise, to bring peace and har-
mony into the pro ranks. Horton
happens to be very popular with all
classes of pros.

Maybe you didn't know it, but the

anywhere between $4,000 and SIS
600. Pomonok bought" it for about

figure and made a few dollars.
1t is the only major tournament
in which the pros get appearance
money. When they qualify sectisn-
ally they get half their carfare. And
If they qualify for the match play
rounds they start cutting in on the
checks.
A flrst-round loser gets $50. A

on, with the winner getting a grand,

No Fighting Prestige
Gained by Mamakos
In 7. K. 0. Victory
WokerIis, in Poor Trim,
Has D. c. Boy BoffIed
Before Eye Is Cut

A lingering suspicion that Steve
Mamakos is not the fifth best welter-
weight in the world-as the National
Boxing Association would have us
believe-but merely a strong, solid
citizen with flair for fisticufing
blossomed into ripe reality today as
Southwest Washington celebrated
the Greeks victory within the
squared circle.
Steve defeated a fellow country
man, one Dem Wakerlis of Boston,
last night at Griffith Stadium. He
won by technical knockout after
one minute of the fifth round when
Wakerlis' alert handlers, noticing a
hairline cash over the right eye be-
fore it oozed blood, leaped into the
ring and halted hostilities. But up
to that juncture Mamakos was a
sorry looking individual
Wakerlis, fabby around the waist
line and rusty after two months of
idleness, made Steve look to be a
tropical tree-climber as he weaved
in, splattered the Greek with lefts
and rights to the head, and then
moved out of range before the as
tonished and chagrined Mamakos
realized exactly what was happen
ing.
Mamakos Unimpressive.
The brooding look of Illustration
that haunts Stoves mangled fea-
lures when the opposition refuses
to stand up and be punched around
lks bag came into his eyes as early
a Z the first round when Wakerlis
rot up off the floor after going down
dnder the impact of right and car
ried the fight to the District boy.
That Touchdown, incidentally, was a
distinct surprise to Steve as we'll as
the -pectators.
But Mamakos was not the only
one confused by Wakerlis' refusal to
play dead, for the financial giants
who loll around the ringside and
who were offering 81 on Steve were
a bit on edge as their delegate paved
feebly at the air for his weaving
rival, or missed punches by yards
and blinked in confusion at Dem S
bobbing head.
Wakerlis, however, had to go
sooner or later, and it was only a
question of time before he sue
cumbed to Stoves weight-liftin
tactics. Had he been in condition
it might have been a different end
ing, but for a chap who accepted
the challenge on days notice, Dem
covered himself with glory.
Boxing Interest Revived.
The show seemed to mark the
end of the downward trend in box
ing hereabouts, for 100 fans turned
out for the bouts, all of which were
well received. The crowd was
heartening in view of the last
minute change in principals.
Two upsets featured the card. In
the six-round seminal Young Jack
Dempsey (161%), Wakerlis' stable
mate, succumbed to the spidery
arms and cool craftsmanship of
young Johnny Kapovich. Kapovich
Q66) simply outboxed Dempsey,
catching all of the latter's left hooks
on his right arm and peppering
him with long left jabs in return.
Jim Williams Q78 provided the
other form reversal by hammer
ing ponderous Howard Landgraff
Qa912) into submission in six rounds.
The latter was a bloody sight at
the finish and a badly beaten young
man.
In the other bouts Mike Morton

Tony Ferrara GAO in good match,
and Bobby Woods 126) took the
nod over Elwood Harris G32) in
