Are Planning “Union” | Report From New York Says That Pro Links Men Plan Fe a Along Lines of Baseball Union; Plan 3 i EW YORK, Dec. 8.—Professional golfers thruout the United States have banded together to do practically the same thing that the baseball players are contemplating. The men who teach the royal and ancient game are now in re- volt and they are in the process of organizing to fight the big sporting goods houses which have been in control of them for several years. There will be a meeting shortly at which the question of whether the “pros” will go their own way or will be under the influence of sporting goods houses. The Professional Golfers’ association, of whieh George Sargent, former open champion, is the president, is determined that it will control the game in this , ~ country and that the men who are making their living by the sport will not be connected with any particular group of sporting goods houses. As things stand now there are few new club which ts seeking a profes. sional will be able to get the right sort of man.
