Almost without exception, men,
bers of golf clubs expect profess

A That their course is the most

Club members mutter for days

the rough grow and do countless
other things to make scores soar.
The professionals still talk about
the skinned greens at Oakmont the

was like putting on a concrete side

Personally, we never have seen
why golf and tennis crowds should
mt be allowed to shout, cheer and
boo just as do crowds at baseball,
football and boxing. But when it
comes to taking part in the con-
test by blocking a ball or letting
one roll into the trap-wel. its
sort OF like jumping into the ring

Omaha gallery would like that as

THE DAYS -
SPORTS PARADE
By Harry Ferguson

NEW YORK. Sept. I. tUP) -
Sports are a great asset to the ma.
tion because they teach the prime
iple of fair play and inculcate the
idea that every man deserves ar
equal break.
Sometimes. however, the public
forgets to do its home work ano
shows up for class not knowing its
lessons. Like the crowd that fol-
lowed the final match of the nation
~ amateur golf championship al
Omaha From all accounts, it must
have been the worst exhibition OF
poor craftsmanship seen around
this country in many day
You know the set-up BUD Ward
was playing Pat Abbott for the title
and the crowd violently favored
Abbott. Not because ne was a home
town boy the comes from Califor-
nis}: not because he is the better
golfer; not for any apparent reason
except that Ward is reported 70
have said that he didn't like the
course on which the tournament
was played.
As soon as that rumor gained cir
culation, strange things began TO
happen. When Abbott hit shot
that headed for a trap it appears
that members of the gallery, with
the zeal of a shortstop going after
s hard-hit grounder, managed to
get in the way and keep the ball
out of the trap. When Ward hit
one toward a trap, lanes opened
up miraculously and the ball sailed
through the crowd and plopped into
the sand. A marshal once kicked
Abbott's ball onto the green and
said it was accidental. Hmmmm.
Things finally got SO bad that
Harold w. Pierce. president of the
United States Golf Association,
halted the match and made a
speech asking for fair play. Maybe
such action has been necessary in
some previous tournament. but
yoar agent cannot recall when and
where
Knowing the E.nG 0. sportsman
and go.lcr that Abbctt is. I'm sure
lie w&s jast IS distressed as any
Lody &C. -, g--er.'s sorry eXhib-
itior.
Anyway, Ward won and a good
thing 1t was, too 1t would be per-
nianent black eye for golf if Abbott
had won the title under such cir
cumstances. There always would

British Seaman Lone informed
Here To RejOin British Navy

John Galloway, 18-year-old
British seaman who has been in
termed in Key West since the
early days of the war, soon will re-
join the fighting forces of the
British navy.
One of the most unusual cases
to. grow out of the United States
shift in policy from neutrality to
active aid to Britain, Galloway
has been forgotten man" ever
since he came to Key West a year
and a half ago, rushed here for an
emergency appendectomy which
never was performed.
Although the United States has
since opened its ports to British
ships, permitting thousands of
English sailors to roam the streets
of American cities, Galloway was
held here by neutrality law
which had been all but forgotten.
Now, on an agreement between
the state department and the
British government, he will be re-
leased from his exile in the next
day or two, with transportation to
Jacksonville. There, he will place
himself under the jurisdiction Of
the British consulate, and, pre-
sumably, will be sent to board a
fighting ship under repairs In
some American port.
Paid BY British
During all the period Of his in
ternment here, Galloway has been
paid by the British government,
with only perfunctory duties to-
perform at the local station He
wasn't permitted ia leave the gov
eminent jurisdiction in Key West,
and was required to report to the
marine on duty at the navy yard
gate each morning in order to-
prove that he still was in the city
After working for a short time
with the w. p. Thurston COM
pany, Galloway was removed
from from his job BY Capt, w. f.
Jacobs, then commandment Of the

small job as the tender of the
chickens Of Lieut.. Col G. p. Hat

Galloway, hailed as the "Limey'
by the American seamen here,
said he liked Key West, but be
found his involuntary retirement
a little tiresome.
Capt Russell S. Crenshaw, navy
station commandment, said today
that only the question Of trans
portation blocks Galloway's de-.
parture, which probably win come
