BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, February 9—Walter Hagen is credited with the statee ment that he will enter the movies as a film hero after he has defended his British open title and attempted to win our national open at Inwood this summer. This is most interesting. Primarily it serves more than anything one can imagine to definc the present status of golf. Ten years ago one would almost as soon have thought of an cxpert croquet player being requisitioned for the movie drama as an outstanding golfer. But now, apparently, our protagonists of the links stand with the Dempseys, Car- pentiers and Babe Ruths as subjects for the movie fans. Another point: This reported of-|Golf Association can do to minimize fer made to Hagen is practical con- |their ever-growing importance. firmation of an impression 6f the dominance of the professional in American golf, at this time. That the United States Golf Association saw this some time ago may be gath- ered from its drastic stand against large purses. The association’s proc- lamation may or may mot have had a beneficlal effect—that remains to be proved. All that may be said for the present is that to date the most interesting incident following the United States Golf Association's ukase is Sir Eric Geddes' plan for a tion for the world golf title e to be a thousand pounds No one can say what the rate of ex- rhange might be when this event is held—if it ever is—but in any event the equivalent in American dollars would mean a good round s Of cou professionuls portunities for b Due to the visit of aa English team for play in various tournaments, ine door polo is very much in the publig mind just now.
