NEW YORK, May 16.-Johnny
Dawson. veteran Hollywood (Calif)
golfer who is among the latest
entries for the Hale America Ma
tional Open tournament. hopes to
regain his amateur standing, the
United States Golf Association has
disclosed.
While ranking as q top-hight
golfer for years, Dawson has been
in the peculiar position Of being
neither an amateur nor a profess
sional. His employment by a sport
ing goods company. however. made
him ineligible for tournaments sane
toned by the U. S. G. A.
Dawson told the U. S. G. A. that
he expects to leave the sporting
goods business soon and is prepar-
ing to file an application for re-
instatement to amateur classifica-
ton.
He is entering the Hale America
tourney as an applicant for amateur
reinstatement and. as such, would
not be eligible for either an amateur
prize nor q professional prize, al
though he would be awarded the
winners medal if he should win.
He will compete In the Hale
America sectional tournament at the
Riviera Country Club in Pacific
Palisades, Calf, June and 9 in
an attempt to qualify for the final
tournament to be held June 1921
at the Ridgemoor Country Club in
Chicago.
Dawson won the sixth annual
$4,000 Bing Crosby tournament at
Rancho Santa Fe, Calf, the past
winter with a record score Of
66-67-133. He held the trans
Mississippi championship in 1886 and
went to the semifinals Of the British
amateur tournament in 1929.

application for amateur reinstate-
ment would be considered later by

The Rochester Red Wings figured
on using him only for pinch-hitting
and occasional outfeld relief, but
the Wings have been ffuttering so
badly that Manager Tony Kauf-
mann has had to make more and
more use of his veteran.
And the result has been that Cooke
has taken over the batting leader
ship of the International League
with .365 percentage, IS points
above Johnny Wyrostek Of Toronto.
Outfielded Bud Metheny of New
ark. who last week paced the cir
cult with .39l, slumped a points
to third, one point behind wyro-
stek's $50.

and Mike Rocco, Buffalo. BIS.
Besides being second in batting
percentage, Wyrostek has the most

is the leading run-scorer with Is.
Bob Lemon of Baltimore and
Francis Kelleher Of Newark lead
the league in homers with eight

Stirnweiss leads in stolen bases
with nine. Kelleher and Metheny
are tied for the most runs betted
