Harbert and Harper
GET Last Two Spots
In Masters Golf
By the Associated Press.

GREENSBORO, N. c.. March 81.
The two remaining berths in the
Masters golf tournament at Augusta,
Ga. April 9-12 have been awarded
Melvin Chick Harbert of Battle
Creek, Mich, and Chandler Harper
of Portsmouth, Va.
Tournament Manager Fred Cor
coran said they were selected on the
basis of their winters play. Har-
bert won the Texas open and the
Beaumont open, and Harper finished
in the money in all the tournaments
In which he played.
Ensign Charley Yates, former
British amateur golf champion, has
obtained a leave of absence from
the Charleston IS. c. Navy Yard to
compete in the Masters tourney.
He plans a pretournament game

business.
Last night for example, there
wasn't a single high-priced artist
on the card that saw one Billy Muir
ray survive two first-round knock
downs and come back to hand Oscar
Wright a decisive drubbing in the
eight-round feature. 1t was good
fight and most of the fans seemed
satisfied with the brand of action
and the outcome. The decision
probably cost Wright a chance to
box former lightweight champion
Lew Jenkins at Riverside Stadium
April 20, but that only added to the
interest.
The rest of the card was selling
platter stuff and you could have
bought the whole kit and kaboodle
for less than the price of set of
secondhand tires, but the point is
that nobody seemed dissatisfied
The ripe, juicy raspberries that were
standard sound effects in better days
at the arena was missing. The spec
tators took the prelims in stride,
and when Master Murray came
along and upset Wright's apple
cart it was akin to topping off a
satisfying barbecue with a shot of
aged brandy.
Fans Pay for What They Get.
The same situation prevailed
week ago when Jabbo Kenner,. the
big colored heavyweight, who was
being built up all out of proportion
to his ability, was fattened by Al
Blake of Baltimore. That card net
ted s1,293 and the cast strictly was
run-of-t the mine talent with So
called "big" names conspicuous by
their absence. Last night the swag
was more than s1,100, with no ap-
preciable increase In operating ex-
penses. The difference between the
figures can be attributed to the
weight of the main-bout performers,
for in boxing a heavyweight match
will outdraW any other.
Now the customers, who formerly
paid $2.40 for a ringside pew and
S1.30 general admission, saw both
shows at cut-rate prices. To all in
tents and purposes the standard
price has not been slashed and the
sign over the boX-office window
still lists the old admissions, but the
town was flooded with half-price
tickets and the fans made use of
them. To our way of thinking it
indicates a healthy interest in box
ing and a keen eye on the purse
strings.
The fans have proved their will
ingness to pay for value received,
but no more. Give them a genuine
1920 top attraction and they'll go
for it, but put on a tWo-bit feature
and they balk-unless the price is
reduced. In a word they'll 60 for
club fights at club prices and pro-
moter doesn't have to have Joe Louis
VS.. Jack Dempsey in the feature to
draw a crowd.
Murray Too Good for Wright.
This would disprove the theory
that it is the arena and its cramped
accommodations that have retarded
boxings growth in Washington, or
the decisions handed down or an
unfavorable press. 1t merely bears
out the old saw about fooling some
of the people some of the time, but
