Lawson Little is quite a golfer. He's laughing nowadavs at the boys who called him a sucker for turning pro. Oh. sure. first-class amateurs have made a wad of money out of golf. Half a dozen crack Simon-pures have gotten up in the higher income cause of their golf skill. and Lawson is no dummy He had the chance. But he chose to play game the hard wav. And pro golf is the hard way. He's making a com- fortable living out of golf as it is, and he’s been honest about it.

Calif.. 6—1, 6—2, 1—6, 6—4 Allison took the court with his right arm bandaged above the elbow, and his right leg still sore from a spill he suffered in the quartes-finals vesterday.

Parker for the last four vears. than HE somewhat puzzling post-( ponement of the Middle At- | lantic doubles tournament un- | til this week, in addition to possible conflict with the start of the public parks tourney on Saturday, has deprived the sectional event of two of its most prominent entrants of 1936. | Relying upon the official date as | released by the Middle Atlantic As- sociation in early Spring, which called for the doubles championships to be- gin last Thursday, Gilbert Hunt, de- fending co-champion with Ralph Mc- Elvenny, made a special trip home last week to be here for the “start” on | that date. Thinking it was to be | completed today, Hunt already had made plans for entering the invita- tion tournament at Longwood, Mass., which starts tomorrow. He still plans to play at Longwood. The other absentee will be Dooly Mitchell, losing finalist with Tom Markey last year, to Hunt and McElvenny. Mitchell, as winner of the Times’ grand national tournament here, goes | to New York for the sectional tourna- ment this week. Why it was postponed is ‘“cleared up” by tourney officials as follow: The date originally assigned for the ‘start of the tournament was July 17, yesterday. Realizing that the average draw of 24 teams would, by starting on Saturday, reach its final round in the middle of a week instead of a preferred week end, officials advanced the start to Thurs- day, July 15, which was duly an- nounced. On second thought—several days afterward—they assumed that out- of-town players of the Middle Atlan- tic territory, not informed of the earlier start, might not be able to get here on time. So0-0-0-0, they merely post- poned the start—on a Thurs- day—until the following week. They may get those out-of-town yers, but theyre losing a couple of Tavorite home-town bets. After all, whet's"the use of having a schedule committee if dates are to ‘be shifted around promiscuously in the middle ot the season? i _S‘H!AKING of Hunt reminds that he hasn't been faring so badly out of town on grass courts, on which sur- face he undoubtedly plays his best games, In winning the Nassau invi- tation tournament, he not only beat Frank Bowden, fourth ranking player of the East for the title, but handed Ernie Sutter, intercollegiate champion for the second straight year, a 6—O0, 6—0 defeat. p— just precedes Barney the national rankings.
