Lowell Thomos Would Build
SpecioI HoIl in Gothom

Lowell Thomas, the well-knoWn
radio commentator, sponsored IN
golf way by Gene Sarazen, would
like to build a special hall at his
place in New York and make this
a golfing shrine.
Francis Ouimet suggests the Au-
eusta National, terminus of the long,
winter tour, where announcements
could be made each year. There is
strong support for Pinehurst, dur
ing the North and South open, as
Pinehurst has been a golfng mecca
for 40 years.
Tom Walsh, president Of the P.
G. A., asks me to delay any such
selection, which is welcome news to
your committee. 1t might be better
even to shift the hall from place to
place.
This matter will be taken up later.
The main idea now is to get the
hall of fame opened and ready for
its famous occupants, for those who
already have qualified and for those
who will come along through the
years ahead.
Any golf writers who have any
ideas or suggestions to offer are re-
ouested to write Freddy Corcoran,
now on tour with the pros in the
winter campaign of the P. G. A.
