OF wartime difficulties and re-
strictions, the club has managed
to carry on. Its membership has
dWindled to about 300, but George
Canady, secretary, thinks the pro-
spects are looking better this year
and the new season gets off to
what is hoped to be its most active
wartime year, following the an
nual meeting Monday night in the
New Hanover courthouse.
To be taken into consideration at
the meeting is whether the club
will include deep sea fishing in its
activities this year. it has been
reported that the Government may
let the boys 60 out as far as IL
miles. The ban on deep sea fishing
has been in effect since the first
year the U. S. entered the war.
Here is an explanation OF the
fishing zones which will be IN ef-
feet this year in accordance with
the clubs rules pertaining to priz-

Fish eligible for competition in
Zone A must be caught between

silly to insist that amateurs and

But regardless of the pros and

remains that Tilden is running

the court which passed for color

touch and his two-stroke margin
in the $4,000 Jacksonville oper
golf tourney today, but the Big
Three Of the links were hot OF
his heels.
Hamilton, national PGA cham
pion from Chicago, added a 31-36
81 to his IS yesterday, for tota
of 1872 at the end of the SECOND
round. Two strokes behind, bunch
ed at 1874, were Byron Nelson
Sammy Snead and Harold Dug
McSpaden.
Snead shot a marvellous 32-33-6s
on today's rounds, equalling the
new course record set yesterday
by Hamilton. Nelson, the leading
money-winner from Toledo, o., i'm
proved by two strokes for 1874
60. McSpaden, the Sanford, Me.
SHOEMAKER, turned in a 33-34-67.
Galleries at the municipal course
lured by perfect golfing weather
were described as the largest ev
er to follow a tournament here.
Snead's comeback from his IS
of yesterday to the seven-under'
par IS card today gave warning
that he is back on his game. He
is now seeking his third straight
winter swing victory, one which
will widen his margin over Nelson
to six to four.
Craig Wood Of Mamaroneck, N.

in second place after the first

| that decision didn't keep him from
Openly ciriticizing the cup commit
tee in 1925 for its method of Sc.
lecting the team.
In 1926, he led an '.insurgent'
move against the U.S.L.T.A. be.
cause of its refusal to approve
Franco-American exhibitions for
charity.
All this time the player-writer
pot was simmering, and it finally
came to a boil in 1923. The in.
ternational federation found him
guilty of violating the player-writ-
er rule, and he was suspended not
only in this country but in "a 9TH
er member countries, leaving the
worlds greatest tennis player in
midair, so to speak. The king had
no court to call his own.
He was reinstated in 1929, and
when he turned pro the following
year it seemed his troubles were
over, as a pro can do just about
anything, except play against anna
teurS.
The fallacy of that idea as far
as Tilden was concerned was dem
onstrated in 1896, when. he show
ed he could get into jams under
any circumstances. He was sus-
pended by the pros for violating
the sanction rule, leaving him even
worse off than before. He couldn't
play as an amateur and he
couldn't play as pro.
That trouble was cleared up, as
Bill Tilden isn't the kind Of guy
you leave out in the cold very
long. Right or wrong, the money
he draws at the box office is all
right.
Now he's showing he's lost none
of his verbal sting by puncturing
the U.S.L.T.A. we have a nidea
that long after old age withers his
serving arm his tongue still will be
shooting sparks.
