AUGUSTA, Ca, April 4 CUP)-
There is a very good chance that
this story you are reading now
Will eventually rank as one of the
most novel ever written by a
sports writer.
! say this because it deals with
Craig Wood, golfer and yet no.
where in it will there be a refer
euce to his hard luck in finishing
second in so many important
championships There won't be a
tear jerking paragraph in the en-
t.Ic business. and there won't be q
mention of how Craig S pretty wife,
Jackie, has had her heart all but
broken - times by rival gOlferg
executing some miraculous shot on
the last hole to beat out her man
Tor the title.
Nowhere will there be a mention
of how Craig lost this title by
missing a putt no WIDER than ecl's
forehead or how he lost that one
just because a thOughtlcsa robin

Craig was making vital shot to
chirp the first four bars Of the
Grand March from Aida.
To write a story about Craig
without pulling out all the stops
in the heart-throb department re-
quircS a certain amount Of char
acter. The same sort of character,
in fact, that a fellow would need
t. write about Connie Mack with
out ever referring to him as the
tall tactlcian', or about Ty Cobb
without labelling him as the peer
lerr Georgian. or about Willie
HestOn without once using the word

Wood, himself, was the one who
suggested that I do a story about
him without touching the runner

She has often said: If lynching
is necessary for the protection OF
