g i ok FEW OPEN EVENTS NOW ON GOLF CARD Money Players Don’t Give Up 10 Per Cent of Prizes and Clubs Balk. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. OMETHING is happening in professional golf in so far as the troupers who travel over the country picking up small change in tournaments are con- cerned, and unless things change for the better, it may be that the plentitude of small open affairs which have attracted the star golfers in past Winters will be cut way down in number, and all the boys will have to shoot at will be the established big tournaments, such as the Agua Caliente open, the Los Angeles open and the La jorce open. G'rms yE-r the Professional Golfers® Association hired Bob Harlow, Who used tp fix things up for Waiter Hagen, as manager of its tournament bureau. Bob is a smooth worker and a good promoter, g gent with. plenty of “savvy and one Who always is working for the best interests of the professionals. ‘Bob went West on a tour of the coast elties, where he was to wolk up & number of small open tournaments, and within a few days after he landed on the coast & tempest broke around the matter of a guarantee of 10 per cent of the gross at all the tournaments being turned over to the P. G. A. tournament reau. So far it has resulted in cancellation of two fairly big tournaments and it may result in cancellation of more. Not Harlow's Fault. Prom those in the know it appears that it isn't Harlow’s fault, nor the fault of the P. G. A. Those wWho know what it is all about claim the main onus of the matter lies at the door of the men who win the money prizes and then refuse to turn over 10 per cent of their purses to the tournament bureau of the P. G. A. The latter body wants the sponsors for the tournaments to turn over 10 per cent of the gross be- fore the tofirnaments start, thereby making sure of the cut for the tourna- ment bureau. But the sponsors have refused to do this and have put the matter of collecting the 10 per cent up to the P. G. A. to get it from the prize ‘winners, This is the rock on which the tourna- ment situation has split and if the split goes much farther it appears that the trouping golf professionals will not have as many juicy plums to shoot at this Winter as they have had in the past three or four seasons. Last year at Agua Caliente Gene Sarazen won first money, totalng $10,- 000. He gave 10 per cent of his purse to the tournament bureau, which left him a net of $9,000. He and scme of the other money winners in the Western tournaments are said to have “beefed” considerably about this cut of 10 per cent of their winnings, and the P. G. A. asked the tournament sponsors to cut the pot before the boys started, to avold further talk along that line. Sponsors Sidestep. This the sponsors refused to do. Such a cut would not reduce the amount of money put up, but simply would make the winners take smaller purses. P'rhe ‘Tournament Bureau of the the services of the finest &rolmwnll golfers in the world, and the boys refuse to play because they must cut their purses 10 per cent, it seems to an outsider that they are cutting off their own noses. The trouping professional army this year in the West is rather slim. Many of the top-notchers are missing. Hagen, Armour, Farrell, Smith and others have not started West, as they usually do at this time of year, They may start later, but it seems they are waiting to see ‘what in the matter of tourna- ‘The goose that laid the golden eggs is not such a live bird as it used to be, and if tournament cancellations con- tinue, only the three big stakes of the Winter season will be open for the troupe TS, Agua Caliente, with a total purse of $25,000 and first money of $10,000, is the biggest of them all. It comes in| January and follows by a week the $10,000 Los Angeles open, with first money of $3,500. Then along in March comes $15,000 La Gorce open at Miami, with first money of $5,000. But what of the San Antonio open, the Houston open, the Oklahoma open, the Seattle open, the Catalina open and the other tournaments with smaller purses? Some of them have been can- celed because of this 10 per cent cut demand, and others are waiting to see what happens. It seems that the sooner the profes- slonals agree to give the P. G. A. their | 10 per cent cut the better off they will | be. The Tournament Bureau arranges their events for them, makes all their bookings, and on the whole is an in- dispensable organization to the pros. If they refuse to give their cut they will lgcn‘d things not so easy as they have n G. A. has something to sell. It has | Hill, ” SPORTS. “MITCHELL *MONK" MATTOX THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Dismer team stands last in the Columbia Heights League. It has lost 21 games and has yet to experience the thrill of even a single-game victory. But the Dismers are bent upon fighting to the last. Clarence Youngblood, Ed Courtney, Ralph Neese, Frank Grubb and Fred Boone admit that as bowlers they're good hardware salesmen. But punk as they may be, there’s no breaking up that combination, which avers it will go through the season without forfeiting a game. ‘The Dismer team is outclassed in the Columbia Helghts League now since the loop allowed two District or National Capital League duck snipers to a team, but Capt. Youngblood declares that if| five big league bowlers were allowed he wouldn't change his line-up. For sheer dogged persistence there's no beating the Dismers. Every day when the clock strikes 12 Clarence, Ed, Ralph, Prank and Fred, all employes in the store adjacent to the Arcadia, troop upstairs to the drives and put in some practice. VERY day they practice and every ‘Tuesday night they are beaten three straight games. It would cause many teams to throw up the sponge. Their bowling ambition may seem modest, but there's a lot of stuff be- hind ‘em. “We haven't got a good bowler on the team,” remarked Youngblood, “but some of these days we're gonna win a game, and when we do it'll be celebrate.” ESPITE their humble standing in the league, the Dismers sometimes look actually impressive in the afternoons, but at n'ghts it's the same old story. “We call ourselves all-day bowlers,” explained Youngblood. “How’s that?” we asked. “Well, if we do admit it, some of us roll some preity good sets during the dfi,{ time. It's at night that we're ter- rible. a 430 set during his lunch hour and the next afternoon came back with a 397. Then on Tuesday he didn’t even shoot 300. “But one thing I'll say,” ended the Dismer captain, “we’ll never forfeit a game while we're able to walk.” 'HE Georgetown A.

Associated Press. EW YORK, November 5.—Fight fans expected to learn today whether or not Gene Tunney administered a technical knock~ out in Supreme Court Monday to his one-time friend, Timothy J. Mara, who is suing for $500,000 of the former champion’s $1,742,285 earnings. The decision was to be rendered this afternoon in Supreme Court, where Jus= tice Hatting on Monday took under ad- visement a motion to throw out the case against Tunney after he had dismissed the complainig against Tunney'’s co- defendant and former manager, Billy Gibson. ‘With the concurrence of Mara's attor- ney, the case against Gibson was dis- missed shortly after counsel for Mara had rested, but an attempt by Tunney’s counsel to have Tunney also eliminated was vigorously opposed. Both sides were directed to submit briefs, and Justice Hatting adjourned court until 2 p.m. today. A detailed list of Tunney's earnings as champion, prepared by himself under court order, was presented Monday.

North 8076 Cure Is Sought For Tired Grass LOS ANGELES. November 5 (#).— Evin grass gets tired. It took the 12-month uninterrupt- ed golf season of Southern California to show up this unexpected weak- ness, ‘The grass weariness shows itself in ways strikingly human, especially in lowered resistance to disease. ‘The botany department of the Univeisity - of Southern California has been asked to see what science can do about it, and Dr W. B. Mc- Dougall, in annbuncing the appeal, says: “In other sections the grass plants have & chance to rest and recuper- ate beneath a blanket of snow. “Until about seven years ago na- tive grasses were used in California with falr success, but at that time finer grasses especially suited to golf greens from the East and from Eu- rope were introduced. “For a time all went well, until the new grasses began to break down under the never-ceasing play. This necessitated use of powerful inor- ganic fertilizers to build up strength of the grass plants. j “It was soon found, however, this ‘weakened the plants’ resistance to a number of diseases, which k. heavy toll on ng greens.
