G. A. Title Event and Would Stage Monthly Tourneys. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ERIOUS about the future of their organization, pictured by the incoming president as a group which may lend a help- {ng hand to every professional in this section, the Middle Atlantic Profes- slonal Golfers’ Assoclation is to make » valiant effort this year to weld the pros of this sector into & unit which will boost professional golf to heights never before attained. Among these aims is the transforma- tion of the P. G. A. championship into & real tournament. The affair prob- ably will be held at the Manor Club in the Fall and it may be converted this year into & medal play tourney with a fair-sized purse put up for the boys to shoot at. Last year it was a match play tour- nament, with Charles P. Betschler of Baltimore licking Al Houghton of Ken= wood in the final round. Would Play Often. "/~\NE of the chief aims of Al Treder O of Manor, who is due to be ele- vated to the presidency this year, is to interest all the pros in this sector in the monthly tournaments to be staged by the P. G. A. and to have the attendance of all at these affairs. In the past some of the pros con- sistently have passed up the tourna- ments and it is Treder's aim to get all into them this year. He slso hopes to have Bobby Cruickshank, the 1934 Na- tional Caplf open champ, and a headliner nationally, take an interest in the association tournaments and play in them. Treder is serious about his new job. Visualizing the somewhat lackadaisical attitude of the pros in the past to- ward their own organization, he wisions & tight little association this year which will go further toward promoting golf in thi; section than the P. G. A. ever has done before. One of the major matters to be disposed of is the composition of the local P. G. A. team which will face & Japanese combination at Kenwood late in May. A gate fee is to be charged for these matches, and as the situa- tion now stands Treder plans a quali- fication round to determine the make- up of the team to clash with the Nip- ese. “They are good golfers” he says, “and we must put our strongest foot forward or they will lick us.” Miyamoto, who played in the United States in 1932, will head the Japanese team. Strength in Capital HE main strength of the P. G. A. lies in the Washington clubs, which have nine full-fledged members, with only a half-dozen or 50 around Baltimore and three or four around Richmond and Norfolk. Prob- ably one of the main reasons for the indifferent attitude of the pros from Virginia toward the local P. G. A. is the fact that the association has not held its tournaments in that State. If the P. G. A. championship goes to Richmond this year there will be & considerable quickening of interest among the Virginia pros, and it would be suicidal to bar Cruickshank from a spot on the team to face the Nippon- ese because he hasn't played in the local P. G. A. tournaments. Tht schedule of events will be outlined at the annual meeting to be held at Indian Spring next month. GONZAGA QUINT DOWNED Episcopal Makes Strong Finish | he in Winning, 22 to 15.

Winner, May Come Back to Races if Equipoise Tops $376,744 Record in Santa Anita Saturday OT even & cycline or & war could have caused s0 much ex- citement among the stable- hands at Court Manor. From the stud barns to the yearling paddocks this week every man of them muses on the great race. A hundred thousand dollars and more will change hands Saturday afternoon at Santa Anita, Calif. No matter where else it may go, Rot a dollar of the mighty purse will come to Mr. Willis Sharpe Kilmer, who owns the 1,000 rolling acres of Court Manor and foots the bills for everything and everybody esconced thereon. ‘The tempest around the stalls is not caused, therefore, by considerations of ducats, which considerations usually can work a groom into a lather quicker than M. Henri Cochet can decide what you are going to do next on a tennis court. It is all a matter of pride, pride and affection. Both those worthy emotions are inspired by a dignified old horse named Sun Beau, which re- tired from the running business three years $go with earnings of $376,744 in cash and $64,000 in trophies to his credit, the same being the world rec- ord for all comers since the Roman chariot races. The question that stirs up such a stew in the minds and hearts of the horse nurses down near Newmarket is, “Will Sun Beau still be the cham- pion money winner of the world after Saturday afternoon?” And, if Equipoise or Mate should win the hundred-odd thousand dollars and thereby surpass the Beau's record, will Mr. Kilmer send the old boy back to the races to seek the crown once more? The latter problem rather intrigues them more than the first, for so con- vinced are they of their champion’s supremacy not a doubt exists but that he could make up the 50-odd thou- sand dollar margin which would hang over his high mark if Equipoise wins the Santa Anita, the $20,000 he would need to top Mate again if that stal- wart should gallop down in front Sat- urday. As for Mrs. Payne Whitney's Twenty Grand, the California handi- cap purse and another $10,000 would be needed to make a serious contender of him. An unsound horse, he does not yet figure in the speculations at Court Manor. Sun Beau is 10 years old, and that is virtual senility for an active race horse, middle age for one retired to | the stud. This is his third year out | of training, and many an old hand will tell you a runner once in “high | training” cannot come back after re- | tirement. Against these factors are his rec- | ord, which shows he won more races and money as a 5 and 6 year old than at any other time; his soundness; the fact he has been galloped regularly and given light workouts since he went into the stud, and his remark- able original ability. Sun Beau was a washout as a 2- year-old. He started only four times, won one race and piled up the mag- nificent total of $1,150 earned cash at the age when Equipoise, for example, garnered $156,835. As a 3-year-old the Beau stepped out and captured eight firsts, five seconds and a third for a total of $79,909. The next year | his profits were approximately the same. But in the last two years of his | career he made more than $100,000 | each season. Had he not been beaten by inferior | horses in the Agua Caliente handicap | of 1931, after what may be mildly de- | scribed as an unsatisfactory ride by | Frankie Coltiletti, Sun Beau would have earned in excess of $210,000 that year. Well, the “if's” don't count in horse racing either. Today the grand old horse is abso- lutely sound. He carries perhaps 200 pounds of extra weight, as any stal- lion will when taking life easy, but that would come off with two months’ steady work. He may or may not have lost his speed, but be assured once had it. For some reason casual followers of the bangtails seem to have the idea that Sun Beau was melro:lyrlmncikediot:e stake horse with a of and good underpinning, which combination enabled him to win more money than merit deserved. As a matter of fact, the son of Sun Briar-Beautiful Lady once beat such racers as Petee Wrack, Victorian and Misstep by five lengths in a Maryland handicap, beat Display and others in & Washington handicap, won the Hawthorne Gold Cup three times in succession and set a track record of | 2:01 3-5 for the mile and one-quarter f 37 with 126 pounds up, and another | mile in 1:36 1-5 as a 5-year-old, ran on tracks from Mexico to Saratoga and won races all over the place. Your fingers and toes will take care of the names of American horses that have approximated such performance. Can he do it again? His admirers say “yes.” Some wiseacres say “no.” Equipoise, Mate, Twenty Grand and Mr. Willis Sharpe Kilmer, the only four in the world capable of deciding whether the veteran will or will not, have to try—they say nothing. As for Mr. Kilmer, it seems very unlikely he would want to pull down that handsome sign over on the man- slon side of the road to Newmarket. It reads: “Court Manor, annex to | Sun Briar Court. Home of Sun Beau, | the world’s greatest money-winning | champion.” FOUR GOLF CO-CAPTAINS. ‘WORCESTER, Mass.

By the Assoclated Press. OS ANGELES, February 21.— Like the search for the gold of the Aztecs, the ceaseless quest for a thoroughbred to beat Equipoise in the Santa Anita $100,000 handicap Saturday went on today without apparent success. For always the form charts brought them back to the starting point with the stubborn fact that in 50 races C. V. Whitney's candidate for the title of richest money winner of all time has finished out of the money only on seven occasions. Three of these were the result of disqualifications. And if Ekky’s record, plus his show= ing here, wasn't enough, there was AS LOW AS 2] WEEKLY OU’'LL like our courtesy in opening for you a Convenient Payment Account—No money down—Terms to suit your convenience.
