I*l.u . in the national amateur golf i * hampionshlp. and It would Ice nice If something seiMutlonal could hap ' pen this year to save what used to he a top-flight sports event from be-1 I coming ho hum stuff The hest thing that could happen | would lie for another Itobliy Jou- s | to emerge from some obscure corn-1 er of the natin. To tell the truth, i the amateur hasn't been any great shakes since Jones delivered his ' grand slam of the British and Americ an amateur and open tourtta-' ments and then, quite sensibly, re ; I tirecl. Nowadays you see him swing 1 mg a< luh only at the master* ; tournament in Augusta Occasion-, . ally you se*. him at the open, walk- | Ing along with the rest of the gal- ! , lery and watc hlng the pros. When he left, most of the color and the glamor of the amateur left | with him. It was “Jones against . the held" in thos.- days ana. win or lose, the galleries turned out lo j see him. Like Bala- Ruth, who put o na great show whether he was 1 bust Ing one over the fence or otrlk- : j mg out. Jolies hud box office appeal. , Millions who didn't know the dis 1 ference between a stymie and a caddy knew who Bobby Jones was > and what he had done. If you don't think the amateur has gone down hill since then, walk up to any golfers and ask him to name the last live amateur < hamplons for you. It's all. two and even 1 that he can't do jt. and it's the ' same that you can't do it. Having Just looked it up. I shall now flash my erudition and tell you that they were Richard D Chapman. .Marvin Ward. Willie Turnesa. Johnny Goodman and Johnny Fischer. One trouble with the amateur is that the pros have stolen the- show. A dazzling array of prow have come up since Jones quit Snead. Nelson, Hogan. M> tz. Lloyd Mangrum and M* Spadeit. After watching those hables commit manslaughter and first and second degree murder on par, your average golf nut can't get too excited about the amateurs. Th* amateurs can't stand the hot pace. Occasionally one of them comes up with one good round In the open, but on thos* last hot mad lb holes on Saturday afternoon the simon-pure (toys wilt and the cool, steel-nerved pros are left on the battle field alone. Not since 1933. when Johnny Goodman won by one stroke at North Shore, has an amateur taken the open. Thia year the tournament will be played at Omaha, practically in Goodman's back yard, and a victory by Johnny would lie both popular and a good thing for the tournament. It would recall his sensational victory over Jones in another amateur tournament and would bring hack a well-liked and familiar face to the pictures that show the winner holding a big cup and grinning. But it still wouldn't convince the golflng public that the average amateur has any business in there bucking the proa. Under the wise direction of Fred Corcoran, tournament managar of the PGA. countless tournaments have been opened up in the last few years. The chances for a pro to make money have Increased, and the boys are working at It aa hard as you work at your job. An anateur can't play golf once or twice a w«*k and compete agalnst men who have more natural ability, who devote endless hours to practice and who tight till the last pott la down so mama can have a new drees and baby some aboes.

Rye grass, known in the seed trade as domestic rye grass, Is a I winter annual that Is seeded in I early fall, lives over winter, and matures alxiut with oats, with few I plante living longer than the second year. Rye grass is less winter hardy than wheat and Its growth should be conflned largely to the southern third of the stale. To get much fall growth for pasI ttire, rye grass should he ae*-ded as *oon after August 15 as soil and moisture conditions sre favorable, say Ptirdue agronomists.
