spoon. Hardly glancing at the flag, 220 yards away, Sarazen hit Q shot that streaked for the green, bounced and rolled into the cup. It was @ double eagle. two on 0 par-five hole, and 6 shot that never has been matched in major competition.
 Then those who had been cofi- graduating Wood brought him the bad news.
 "The lucky stif," Wood said, and added with Q grin, that's golf"
 sarazen came on in to tic Wood and the next day beat him in the playoff.
 From that day Wood was known as the great runner-up," but this year the lady set out early to de. stroy the name and the legend. She put him on front and kept him there ali the way, despite the fact that most of the pros would rather be shot or two off the pace than leading the pack when the final round stars. But the lady was talk ing no chance this trip and she made up for oil her shrewish be- havior in the past by giving Wood Q 66 on the first round. He ran ahead all the way. So ct 3e-an age when most golfers are over the hill Craig Wood wins his first big tour nament, and, if you ask me, lady, 1t was about time.

If Detroit Fight Was Buld.Up for Conn Match, Simon Asks Why Joe Kept Knocking Him Down; Big Boy
 Would Hate to Tackle Wrecking Crew

when Lerruper Louis permitted Man Mountain Simon to landslide lnto the 18th round in Detroit.
 "If that was Q build-up," says simon, "why did Louis keep knock. ing me down? If that was a build up, I'd hate to tackle the wrecking crew."
 Pastor added that he could lick Simon, but there appears to be some doubt about that in the big blokes mind.
 Simon says Pastor will have to prove 1t If he enters Stillman's Man. hattan Gymnasium on or after April 10, when the pickle barrel wrestler starts preparing for a sec- ond printing with Louis, which Is The Bum-o of-the-M Months selection for May on the ninth at Madi- son Square Garden. Angry Abe threatens to bop Bicycle Bob on the beezer on sight, provided he can catch him.
 The civil war is quite all right with Jimmy Johnston, who special izes in supplying Embalmer Louis with stai!ding and running stiffs.
 Early demand gives Publisher Mike Jacobs every assurance that the second installment of The Life of Simon will be best seler in New York as was the first in Detroit.
 Things are 50 good that Johnston Is working both sides of the con. tinent. Pastor is down for Q third edition I1 Hollywood, July 14.
 But If Simon and Pastor light, they won't collide in a small gym. nasium free, gratis and for nothing" remarks Manager Matchmaker Johnston. "That would be against union rules, and the average gym nasium is not large enough to ac- commodate Simon if he has com- pany."
 Inasmuch as Publisher Jacobs practically has monopoly on the entire beak- busting business as well as The Bum f-the- Month Club, Johnston, ordinarily timid soul, sees nothing wrong with his having @ corner on his own heavyweightS
 "Let 'en fight while they feel pug flacious," long has been Jimmy Johnston's motto.
 "They can't hurt us."
 Joe Louis will further soften Abe Simon and Bob Pastor for each other, after which there won't be much fight left in either.

 New York, April 7.--tUp)-she is @ fickle dame who will nudge the money puts away from the cups for year after heart-breaking year but If @ golfer woos lady luck long enough there will come Q day when she smiles and showers down the gold.
 The lady and Craig Wood are pals again.
 She took him by the hand down among the dogwood at Augusta yes- terday, told him to let by-gones be by-gones and brought him home winner in the Masters Tournament. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, for Craig Wood has been a pa. tient, persistent suitor of the lady over a period of years stretching out so long that other men would have started Enoch Arden proceedings against her.
 Popular
 It will, I believe, be the most popular golf victory of the year no matter what happens in the Open, the Amateur or the P. G. A. Even the Nelsons, the Byrds and the Ho- gans who shot their hearts out try ing to catch Wood will applaud him today. Press and public have been protesting for years over the series of hard breaks that kept Wood out of the magic circle of the big tour naments, and the only voice not heard in that chorus of complaint was that of Wood himself. He kept his hcin up, accepted the breaks as they came and went on shooting fine golf.

 He tied for the North and South Open in 1881 and lost to Johnny Golden in the play-off.
 He was runner-up in the PGA in 1884, losing to Paul Runyan.
 But the worst blow lady luck ever dealt him was on that same Augusta National course where she and Wood finally patched up. their trOu- bles yesterday. She made him the victim of what probably is the most Incredible golf shot that ever rat- tied into Q cup.
