It was all planned years ago, for

out at the park shagging balls in
the outfield or playing catch with
the players.
Ball players, knowing about such
things, sized him up as one of their
own and taught him some of the
tricks of the trade. That was in

Tilden is "bust" as a professional

Tilden recently organized ten

fessional Golf Association with
plans for three major tournaments
yearly. ~ |
1.-THE organization never will sue
coed as long as Tildea insists on
both playing and running the whole
show" Bulge declared. 1.-THE idea
needs careful planning and Tildsn
is too unpredictable."
Bulge, top ranked amateur from
1896 through 1898. said he planned
to play five or six more years and
then would enter the promotional
end of the game. II won't be as
ISOLATED with Tilden, though. On
that you can bet" he added.
