Five Prominent D. c. Golf Pros
Pass Up Sport for Duration
Burton Of Army Navy Only FuII-FIedeed
Club Mentor to Enter Armed Service

Beaver Dam and East Potomac Park

golf which included q victory in the
biggest Middle Atlantic PGA cham
pionship ever held.
Then Al Jamison. who succeeded

He expects to be sent to Asheville,

Al Houghton, former pro at Ken

Georges Coli and Country Club, is
the latest bigtime pro to desert golf.
Al has q job with WPB and has for
saken tournament golf for the dura-
ton, he says. He retains his Prince
Georges connection and works at
that club on week ends.
All in all, some Of the pros take the
view that tournament golf Is I'm
ished during the war, and believe
that their income would be ma
terially cut If they remained in the
game. There isn't much doubt Of
that, either. Club sales and lessons
have dropped almost to the vanish

golf as a game will go on. The gent

U|ine, Ahearn Capture
Round Two in Scrap
With Boxing Group
Ringside Funs Protected
From Ice by Flooring,
Soys Health Officer

What the District Boxing Commits
sion needed today was a good leg to
stand on its dispute with Mike Uline,
Goldie Ahearn and the Liberty
Athletic Club, because the last prop
seems to have been pulled from
under the governing body Of fistic
affairs by ruling of DR.. George
Rutland, health ofiicer Of the Dis
trict.
The ring moguls, you will recall,
told the above gentlemen they could
not put ringside seats on plank
flooring placed over the ice rink at
Uline Arena because the public
health would be endangered. As
evidence they offered the testimony
Of Harry Angelica, timekeeper, that
ne caught cold sitting at the ring
during one OF the last shows. But
the health officer, not disputing
Angelico's word that he was sick.
refused to blame it on the ice.
DR.. Ruhland's statement was in
the form of a reply to a letter from
Congressman Jennings Randolph,
chairman Of the House District
Committee, and pointed out that a
4-inch air space between the ice and
plank floor should act as an insulator
retarding the transmission of cold
from the ice to the spectators feet.
The health officer didn't think the
public welfare was jeopardzed by
the arrangement.
This second rebuff to the commits
sion puts 1t on the defensive in the
squabble. Commissioner ]. Russell
Young decided the ring body made
mistake when 1t forbade the plac-
ing OF seats on the ice although the
two members Of the boxing board
who figured prominently in the
argument. Thomas P. Morgan, jr.,
and 1t. John Agnew, insisted they
had been complimented on their
handling Of a difficult situation.
Advised Of the health officers
decision, Ahearn today said he
would begin Immediately to make
arrangements for his next fight
show although he had been so busy
promoting a Christmas night dance
at the arena he hadn't paid much
attention to boxing. The entire
matter still was in the hands of
his attorney, Denny Hughes, who is
handling suit for $lO6, 22408
against the several members of the
commission. A preliminary hear
ing Is scheduled in District Court
January 4th, when a restraining
order will be asked, prohibiting the
ring commission from functioning
until the case is settled.

The game at $50 o'clock is with
