among themselves when their sea-
son slacks up, so they can teach the
men and women of their clubs the
right way to look at the rules of
golf"
Banagan has something there. No
pro with any kind of rating de-
hberately would try to take advan-
tage of the rules, but many do 50
unwittingly. 1t hasn't been so many
years ago that Craig Wood, present
open champion. was disqualified un-
der his Interpretation of the lost
ball rule. We don't mean to single
out Craig, who happens to be a
stickler for rules observation, as a
bad example, for he isn't. No man
Is more careful to observe the rules
of the game than the 39-year-old
open champion. But where Craig's
case was set down as an example,
how many are forgotten?
Contrary to usual opinion, the
rules of golf are not flexible. Inso-
far as possible, they are meant to
cover specific situations, and cover
them completely. Yet how may men
or women leave the first tee in q
golf tournament with q complete
knowledge of what they may or
may not do In such contingencies rs
the provisional ball situation?
The right way to start this busi-
ness Of rules education Is with the
pro. The pro is the little father OF
golf at his club. Banagans 5 scheme
would be good one for the Middle
Atlantic P. G. A., now in the middle
OF its most successful recent season,
to adopt. And while we're about 1t,
we'd like to suggest as professors
emeritus of rules, Witty Cox and
Freddie Mcleod. There are two
men who know the rules as they
should be known by every golfer.

Do you, Mr. and Mrs. Golfer, know
that you cannot ground your club
on the sidewalks of a water hazard?
Or that you may do so on the banks
of bunker? But what can you do
in a sand trap if your ball is COM
pletely buried by sand, or lies with
in a clubs length of another ball?
What do the rules say on the lost
ball penalty or the out-of- bounds
penalty, and under what circum-
stances, in match play. can you
knock your opponents ball back to
him on the putting green?
No, this isn't one of those smart
quiz tests, nor are there any tricky
answers. These little questions on
golf all come from the fertile minds
of Red" Banagan and Fred Nc
Leod at Columbia, who agree that
most golfers have only a hazy idea
of the rules of the game and would
benefit great deal If they brushed
up on those rules.
Banagan doesn't limit the anna
teurs, either of the male or female
persuasion, to this general inability
to understand and interpret the
rules of the game they play. He says
plenty of professionals also could
stand some brushing up on the rules.
Red" intends to bring up again a
suggestion he made several years
back.
"The club pro-" said Buddha Ban
agan, lis the boss of golf at his club.
He is the guy to whom everyone goes
for information on the game, the
way to play it, the clubs to- use and
the rules and etiquette. Now if the
pro is hazy on some phases of the
rules he isn't equipped to teach his
members what to do in any given
situation The pro should know the
rules backward and forward and
should be able to interpret them for
his members no matter how involved
the situation.
MY idea is that each winter,
when the boys are not busy, they
should get together somewhere and
hold a rules clinic, or series of rules
clinics, at which the pros would 60
to school, so to speak, to brush up
on their knowledge of the rules.
Those rules, you know, are tricky.
They can be interpreted to fit the
occasion. But there is only one way
to interpret them, by the yardstick
Of craftsmanship and intention. The
pro should take that into considera-
ton when he is interpreting a rule.
I still think my idea is good; that
the pros should hold rules classes

20 the sports world is the sole practitioner

and has managed 10 keep exclusive in an
age when competition in practically every field

horse, a football team a baseball club or
woman bowler. and convert him, her II or
them from finely attuned well co-ordi-
mated piece Of mechanism into a jittery,
beaten mass OF weak flesh.
And he accomplishes all this, mind you,
by simple lifting Of the left cyelid which
permits the ectoplasmic carnations from his
poisonous pepper 10 escape and do their work.
Finkle the Ginkle with the Twinkle was
born Benjamin Avroom NebuchadneZzar
Fnkle in ST. Louis Mo. on the wane Of the
moon Dec 30 1898 just in time to avoid
being blamed by the Spaniards for what
happened at Manila Bay
Until he had reached young manhood,
the Scourge OF Sobodka for his mother
came from there was unaware that he diff
fered in any way from the rest Of his fell
iow-men.
He ate his herring head first so the
scales wouldn't "kitzel' his tonsiis on the
way down. He was disappointed IN love.
He lost l. Jobs And ne WallAower

though ne had taken IL easy maI-order
lessons in the fox trot from Madame La
Zonga's mother.
Then one day at Sportsmans Park in ST.
Louis when the Giants were playing the
Cardinals with Rube Marquard pitching for
visitors and the Finkle bankrol Of two
0Icks riding on the home club Evil Eye
suddenly found himself
II was a close ball game and Finkle was
feeling mighty discouraged about the pros
poets Of eating that evening when il occurred
10 him that he might help the home club and,
Incidentally his investment. with some wish
f,l thinking. So half in jest half in earnest,
ne said.
I'm cast an evil eye on Marquard and
what happens 10 him after that shouldn't
even be occurring TO a purple duck-billed
platypus"
Whether il was a coincidence or the first
manifestation of a power that has asserted
itself almost urfaingly whenever called upon
since then Marquard was knocked out OF the

said Finkle, and it really hurts me to see
you take il the hard way"
"Oh, yeah? said Scadron in a tone of
voice that needed the attention of a powerful
vacuum cleaner. Then. leapng out OF his
chair and raising his voice TO a scream. he
cried: Get out of here, you schlimeel, before
1 gouge your eye out"
That was the exact moment Evil Eye
discovered another Of his untapped talents.
He suddenly found out he was a great
Splinter!
OF course Finkle had but 10 turn around
and put the Curse Of Cycops on Scadron and
Hysterical Harold would have toppled over
in his tracks But The Eye was big about
the whole thing. He didn't stop or even look
over his shoulder.
Besides. Baleful Bonnie is union hexer
and doesn't believe in performing gratutousy
even in self defense, after working hours.
The Eye didn't lose caste or develop a
cast after this misadventure. In fact Finkle
lived TO put the Slobodka Stare on many more
of Scadron's fighters
About this time, Evil Eye was so flooded
with offers for boxing jobs that he had TO
hire manager. For this post he selected
Lew Diamond, a fight manager, whose pro-
fessional name is The Honest Brakeman. Lew

one night. shortly after he won the feather
weight title for the first time.
Just 10 put the cove in his place Evil Eye
signed up to work behind Petey Scalzo his
opponent with the result that in the very
first round. Petey popped Joey while he was
under the spell OF the Gruesome Glim and il
was all over but the picking up of Archibald.
From that point on. Archibald never entered
the ring without Finke in his corner and
piled up his string of 81 consecutive victories
in Washington. topped by the bout in which
he regained the title recently.
Two other fighters on the same card were
eyed to victory by Finke the Twinkle. that
night After the amazing performance was
over and Evil Eye had closed his salary orb
for the night by adjusting a smoked monocle
over it, Senators, Congressman, diplomats and
even members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee rushed up 10 him and begged him for
his autograph.
That, incidentally was the goth triple
header Finke had won in a lifetime of Evil
Eyeing. His first triangular triumph was
stared at the Ridgewood Grove Club in
Queens, n Y. and, oddly enough ended
in the first and only retreat the Eye has ever
made under fire.
on the night in question, lie Finkle was
engaged by Alphonse The Vest WE'LL to hex
three fighters booked to meet three members
Of his stable. One after another, Finkle
rendered the opposition helpless by casually
lifting the left eyeld, focusing on his VIC
tim like snake does on a bird, and languidly
dropping the right eyelid in a most discon-
certinC wink
Each time, as the deadly combination of
the Slobodka Stare and Warsaw Wink at
tracted the attention of the opponent, Wells
fighter would plant sockdolager on the lax
jaw of the hypnotized ham-donnie and from
that point on it was a problem in simple
arithmetic for he New York State Athletic
Commissions referee (many Of whom can
actually count up to ten without pausing to
ponder what number comes next).
Feeling that the big and handsome thing
TO do after his professional work for the night
was over was to go TO the dressing room of
the defeated boxers and commiserate with
their manager, Evil Eye suited the action TO
the word by seeking out Weeping Harold
Scadron, business agent of the hexed trio
who was having good cry for himself over
in the corner.
Hello, Harold" said the Eye, extending
the right mitt in unfeigned friendship (but
carefully avoiding looking at him with the
left eye lest the poor fellow be stricken with
hemorrhagic septicema cholera morbus or
even epider1nis stagnosisl.

Finke didn't have to eat just herring that
night.
He had herring and potato.

The next day Jacobs fell from ladder

Finlde coming he asks:
How many will you settle for?"
Finke worked a double-header one night
of which he is particularly proud. In one
bout Lew Ambers, for whom he was ogffng
the opposition, beat Pedro Montanez and re-
tanned the lightweight title. In the other,
Harry Jeffra, backed up by the most sinister
pepper in sports history won the bantam
