Spud Chandler won his eighth game at New York when wildness by Chicago pitcher Jim* Haynes caused him to force In the winning run in the eighth in a 2 to 1 Yankee victory.

. 0 ... t lodars Sports Parade By Oscar Fraley Rag. V. 8. Pat. Off.) b — -° Mamaroneck. N. Y., June 5 tl'Pi A boycott of the national open championship by the nation's professional golfers appeared to be an eventual probability today as the fairway fraternity questioned un 31,600 payoff cm a tournament which draws at least 1150,000. The men who make* their living by consistent driving, chipping and putting and who draw most of that total sum Into the coffers of the amateur C. 8. golf association In the open play a long series of round the . calendar tournaments and none of these events pay less than lio.ooo. A few make splendid money. Others liurdy meet expenses. And still other* don't, as they travel from tournament to tournament on a diet of doughnut* and coffee, hop--1 Ing some day to hit the* Jackpot at the end of the rain Is* w. Yet, they feel that a* professionals whee names are blazoned from ' coa*t-to-c-cM‘t every week In the ‘ year are Lie magnet which makes the open what It is. V. 8. (1. A. officials probably feel that the open is worth a cool lioo.ixm to the* j winner In indorse ments and such . Items as exhibitions and personal ! appearances, but it still neglects 1 the fact that the winner gets a ( miserly |Lson. However, If it weren’t for the I pros there could be no open and the tournament wcuildn't draw peanuts. This year there were a total of 1,176 entries for th«* open at |5 a head. That a <5,880 in the V. 8. G. A. till alone. Other profitable ; items, estimated, are 120,000 for tadio rights, 320,004) from the program and a 3100,000 gale. , • Those items have to be estimated. Because If you ask the I'. 8. G. A. as I did they'll tell you in ni uncertain terms that what they make is none of your buxines*. They will condescend Io explain that after that SB,OOO prize money is lopped off there ate a great many expenses. The home club and the associatlon, for Instance, must spilt that admission and concession gravy. And then a great deal of money be devoted to a greens oectlon In Washington where scientists study the effect of the boll weevil on such high-sound-ing grasses tm metropolitan hent. seaside bent and creeping lient. Why such tremendous sums might Im* needed is hard to understand when you contider that, without help, a rtee was able to grow in Brooklyn. Certainly 3100.1 th*o can t be needed to make grass grow out in the- fresh air and sunshine.

The open, which really (ain't the nation's open but officially "the <>pen of the U. S. golf association, " j has a soft touch here, of the 1.176 candidates th I* year. 687 were professionals. They kicked in their 35 a head entry fee too. So the pros who work at this game for a living tire starling to' wonder very seriously what got* on with all the gravy. Understandably, they want a cut of it. And 1 hey I] get it, too, in a much greatei prize total, if the whispers of a boycott swell into reality.
