Would Be Joke, Play
AT Winged Foot and

Simon-Pure Crown Won
By ScrombIer as Paid
Players All Stor
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-I think
that Hal Pierce of Boston, president
of the United States Golf Association
and an amateur at heart. will be
smart if he continues to say no to
proposed Red Cross match along
Walker Cup lines between picked
teams of the countrys amateur and
professional linksmen.
The proposal was put up to Pierce
during the last week, while he was
watching the amateurs play for their
national title at the Winged Foot
Club, and he said no, possibly be-
cause he had been watching the
amateurs.
Truthfully, it wouldn't be much of
match. and the Red Cross might
find itself accused of taking gate
admissions under false pretenses. 1
speak as one who just witnessed the
stirring struggles between the money
players at hershey Pa, and the one
sided matches between members of
the awkward squad at Winged Foot.
The contrast was pretty awful.
Pros Uniformly Brilliant.
The professionals were uniformly
fine golfers-at least those who quail
if1ed for match play. In duel after
duel toward the last, holes were
won only with brides.
On the other hand, the amateur
who could approximate par over
Wing Foot during the last week
more than likely was to find him.

which Dick Chapman. the New York

Mccullough of Philadelphia, II
and 9.
There are no Bobby Joneses in to-
days amateur crop Marvin tBud
Ward of Spokane, Wash. and Will
ford Wehrle of Chicago probably
are the closest approaches. But both
came down with the wobbliest sort
OF rounds to lose out in the latter
stages of the amateur.
Scrambles Way to Title.
Chapman played scrambling golf
all week to win out on his present
home" course. the layout he knows
best. He was all over the place
with his drives and his approaches,
but some of his putting bordered on
the miraculous. He knocked them
down from any and all parts of the
green.
AS for Mccullough, he probably
was the most surprised finalist in
golf history. He has been playing
golf almost since infancy, but at 80
he never has won an important
crown and plays mostly on week
ends. His progress to the final round
filled him with amazement. For
instance, he knocked off such
former luminary as Gus Moreland
with score of approximately 80
Imagine him trying to compete
against, say. Sammy Snead in
charity round!
The best that could be said of
Duff was that he took it like a
scholar and gentleman. He fought
back as best he could right to the
finish and INDUCED in no his
trionics. He never even shook his
head sadly or even rolled his eyes
when his approaches buried them
selves in the sand and his despairing
puts trimmed the cup.
And at the finish on the 9th
green he literally ran over to shake
Chapman's hand, perhaps out of
sheer relief.
