- CADDIES, WORKMEN WILD ABOUT GAME Dutra and Espinosa, Pros of Spanish Descent, Are Great Favorites. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. GUA CALIENTE, Mexico, January 16.—~Down here on the edge of Manana Land, where dusky Soldados lean idly against palo Wwalls in the bright sunshine, and guitars tin- kle nightly in the cantinas of Tia Juana, golf is relatively & new game. Only the Gringoes follow the white sphere around the foothills of the Aunt Jane§ Mountains, but the Mexican cad- dies, who carry clubs and follow a wild drive into the snake-infested mesquite, are leaming rapidly. Already they shout, “Bravo, trechol” when @ contest- ant in the second $25,000 Agua Caliente open blasts a long drive down the center of the smooth fairways. Espinosa, Dutra Set 'Em Wild. The favorites of the Mexican caddies and workmen on the Agua Caliente course are Al Espinosa and Mortie Dutra, descendants of the valiant con- uistidors, who built the Elcamifio Real, e King's highway, from Mexico City to Monterey. There was & wild scram- ble in the caddy gn for thb nonor of carrying the clul Dutra, and the two lueky lnu are heroes n.mong their fellows. Espinosa and Dutfa also are favor- ftes of the 98 Mexican workimen who tend the fairways and greens of the course, and Dr. P. A. Moulton, the club manager, is having his dificulties re- straining the laborers.

And when the scores are posted there is always & Mexican boy around the big board to carry the news of Espinosa and Dutra back to the ¢addy barracks and around the hilly falrways. Manuel Berrerra and Francisco Peres, the ‘eaddy boys from Mexico City, also are favorites with the club workmen, g:tr bmey cannot compare with Al and orti - But unless Johnny Golden, whose an- cestors ccme from far-away Csecho- slovakia, loses the ment. At the end of the second round Dutra and Mac Smith were tied at 148, three shots behind Holden, and two be- hind Ed Dudley. Hspinosa had lttle luck here.
