MUST GET TIGHTER AP ON MENBERS Ryder Team Squabble Shows Lack of ‘Definite Control in P. G. A. Affairs. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. NNOUNCEMENT by the Pro- fessional Golfers’ Associa- tion of the manner in which the 1933 Ryder Cup team was selected has caused no end of comment among golfers, amateurs and pros alike. It appears that a vote was taken among the 25 sectional associations, and that results thus obtained were placed with a separate poll of the National Executive Committee. Thereupon mem- bers of the team were named in ac- cordance with the votes they received. This is the first time that the P. G. | A has selected a Ryder Cup team in this manner, and opinions gathered by the writer indicate a feeling among men who follow national golf that a much stem of selection might be de- 1t that the time has come when ociation should begin to work > a position of definite authority, such as the United States Golf Association occupies. HIS is asking & lot of & compara- tively young organization, and in- deed the P. G. A. has been strength- ening itself year by year. The fact that rogress in this direction has been per- glns more deliberate than has seemed necessary may or may not be due to internal conditions which the U. 8. G. A. never had to meet. At any rate, the organization very easily could make a marked advance 1n this very matter of authority through | 8 process of having its officers and di- restors appoint an_official Selection Committee, invested with arbitrary powers in such cases as Ryder Cup| Cvolrersl team membership and the like. such as Mike Brady and others, men past their golfing heyday, whose expe- rience is wide, whose judgment is keen and sound, and whose integrity is be- yond question, are available. A committee of the sort, even grant- ng there might be charges of a member or two being swayed by personal feel- ing, old grucges and the like—they ex- ist, of course, among pro golfers—would be'a vast improvement over the scheme tried out this trict organizations, some of them in re- mote quarters, whose officers are not in | any way conversant with the ability or, perhaps, not even the identities of all men qualified for international play. HAT the P. G. A. nceds right now is a sort of Mussolini to put the | organization where it belongs as a steady. substantial and powerful body. Nominally it is influential, but actually its grip upon its members is far less firm than that of the U. S. G. A. upon its constituents. In any matter so important as the selection of a team to represent the home-bred pros of this country against an English outfit, it probably will seem obvious to most that choice should be made by the organization itself, work- ing through an official committee, and should not be left to various districts scattered throughout the country. As a matter of fact, the sectional bodies aglilig®d with the P. G. A. run | themselves pretty completely. It is not that the P. G. A. is weak-kneed in its ideas: all of its ideas are excellent. But it does lack real control over its members. REVIVE OLD CUE EVENT Hoppe, Schaefer Meet at Cushion Caroms, Dormant Since 1883. CHICAGO, April 18 (& —Willie Hoppe of New York and Jake Schaefer, jr., San Francisco star, will meet here next week to decide a cushion carom billiards championship for the first time since 1883 The game, a_combination of balkline | and three cushions, has been played little in recent years.

N the.days when Terry McGovern was running rampant through the ranks of the featherweights, New York was the home of many other splendid little fighters, all of whom tried to emulate the great Brooklyn scrapper. One of those lads was Jimmy Kelly, a game, two-fisted mite of an Italian, who lived in the heart of the Five Points section of the city, called by the police the toughest district in the metropalitan area. Good fighters developed in that section, and among them was Jimmy. He weighed only 97 pounds, but he could sock like a mule. He carried a kick in either hand and proved on many occasions that he could take ‘em. Jimmy never went far because in his days there were toco many JIMMY KELLY. “big shots” in the game, but had he been born 20 years later, he would have made the grade, When Kelly retired from active competition, he became a successful manager. He handled many stars, but politics and night clubs took up too much of his time after pro- hibition went into effect, and the only fighter of recent years that Kelly showed any interest in was Migget Wolgast, whom he developed into the world flyweight king. Today, Kelly is the owner of a night clib in Thompson street, in the heart of New York's lower West Side. It is the rendezvous %he sportsmen.
