Fair Golfers Excited
Over TiIts Here Of
Dettwei|er, Berg
Pros Oppose April II
And 30 at Kenwood
And East Potomac

Two of the five top feminine pro-
fessional golfers of the land will
show in Washington for two days
April 27 and 30, and the skirted Sec
tor of golf is pretty much excited
about it. Helen Dettweiler, of
course, is "a Washington girl, born
here and brought up in golf on the
courses around the Capital. But
Patty Berg, to most of the links
women of the town, is more or less
legendary figure. Patty has
played here once before-in 1887
when she took part in an exhibition
match at Congressional with Babe
Didrikson and two male pros.
Patty and Helen will play at Ken
wood April 27 in an exhibition
match sponsored by the Women's
District Golf Association. The two
gals will play at East Potomac Park
April 80 in another match, and will
join in golf clinic and shotmaking
exhibition on the East Potomac
practice tee at $50 that evening.
Patty's Salary Reported $500.
Helen Dettweiler turned golf pro
in May, 1889. Patty Berg, for re-
ported salary of $500, turned pro in
the summer of 1910 They are en-
ployed by the same Mid-WeStern
manufacturing company which also
has on its pay roll such outstanding
feminine links stars as Helen Hicks,
1881 womenS national champion,
and Mrs. Opal S. Hill. Only other
feminine golf pro campaigning with
some success is Mildred (Babe) Did
rikson, who is with another outfit.
Feminine pro golf as it is played
nowadays is taking the same rank as
male pro golf. That means that
more and more the woman golfers
of the land are looking to the pros
for the best in the game, in shot
making and in equipment.
Mems Gap Is Wider.
But the gap between the pros and
the amateurs in Women'S golf is by
no means as wide as among the men,
The women pros are good, but they
wouldn't win every open tourney in
which they start. The male pros are
so far beyond the amateurs wearing
pants there isn't any comparison. 1t
hasn't been so always, not when Bob
Jones was getting in the hair of the
pros and winning the open cham
pionship under their noses.
You can look for record galleries
at those two shows April 27 and 80.
Best part of them is they will be
free. There will be no gallery charge
Of any kind for either show.

However, he was unable to stop
the thing. The boys went through
with it, in their willful way, and by
making a bad job of it, they proved
Mr.. Jacobs right. to some extent.
He was afraid it might hurt the
prestige of the Conn-Louis fight,
and the gate receipts of same.
Because of Conn's insubordina-
ton, the Deuce feels at liberty to
muscle Sweet William out of the
title engagement. Whether he can,

and his manager is a very strong
debater, and between them. they

ATHENS, Ga, April 14.-Eighteen-
year-old Charley Harper of Valdosta,
Ga, who gave story-book touch
to the seventh annual Southern
Intercollegiate Golf Tournament last
week end, must wait until 1943 for
another try at the championship.
Harper, gangling freshman at
Georgia Military College, upset the
tournament favorite, Cary Middle
coff of Mississippi, eliminated Ma
tional intercollegiate Champion
Dixon Brooke of Virginia and barged
clear into the final before losing,
4 and 2, to veteran Bob Brownell
of Duke, a Washington, D. c.,
product.

The story book angle was that
Harper shouldn't have been in the
tournament from the start. Junior
college students, explained Johnny
Broadnax, assistant director of ath-
letics at the University of Georgia,
are not considered eligible, although
no written rule bars them. But
no one thought of that until after
the sensational youngster qualified
for the championship draw. Then
it was too late to reject him.

knocked out Max Baer. On the
same evening Mr.. Conn gave a
mournful performance against Gun
mar Barlund, which led to much
holding of noses.
These two developments set the
stage for the back-stabbing of Mr.
Conn. Nova's manager, Ray Carlen,
approached the right ear of Mr.
Jacobs.
How about a slight change in the
lineup for that June fight with

If Nova was in there. for instance
instead of Conn" said Mr.

Seem Out to Stub Conn
By JOHN LARDNER,

special correspondent Oh Inc ctdr'
NEW YORK, April IA CN.A.N.A0.
Billy Conn is an artful dodger and
a sharp shifter, which is all for the
best, because the boys are trying to
plant a knife in his back. I advise
sweet William not to stand still for
a moment.
Back -stabbing is one of the
favorite diversions of caulifloWer
alley The sport has been quiet
lately, so Michael Strauss Jacobs,
the Duce pronounced Deuce of
boxing, decided to revive it by get
ting together with couple of man
ayers and investing a small stiletto
in the back of William Conn.
They haven't got it planted yet,
owing to a bitter technical argument
as to whether to put the blade be-
tween the second and third ribs or
the third and fourth. The debate
still is raging as we go to press.
Mr.. Conn, you may remember, is
matched to fight Joe Louis in June
for the heavyweight title. This was
the doing of Mr.. Jacobs, but the
more the Deuce thinks about it, the
less he likes it. He wishes he could
get Mr.. Conn out of there somehow
