° Todays Sport Parade j By Jack Cuddy I (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Off ) 0 ° New York. Aug. 12 — More than 40,000 fans bellowed their congratulation# laai niKht In. Yankee Stadium, with an ever-in-creasing roar, as the little white hall loomed through the brightly 111 night and came to rest just 22 inches from the striped pole In midfield. No- thia tbunderou# acclaim wa> not .N O T for Joe DI naggio. who returned 3*» the Yankee lineup last night for the first time since hk' neck-shoulder Injury ami who later blasted out a triple as the Yanks lost to the Athletics, 3-2. No. Indeed! this mas;ed applauee was for Mike Turnesa, one of the eight brothers of America's most famous golfing family, who bad just made a winning drive with a links pill. Mike had won an accuracy contest before the largest crowd that ever witnessed COmpetltire golf He had beaten Vlv Ghezzi of Deal. N. J.; Harold (Jug' McSpuden of New York, and brother Jim Turnesa. A reporter, who had tfatehed this contest In which each participant drove eight balls In an attempt to coine closest to the 130-yard l>ole, asked Freddie Corcoran. ■ what Is this all about?” Black-haired, heavy set Corcoran promotional director of the professional golfers association - replied. “this is just a test-tube tipoff on the future of big-time golf It will be played under lights, on three-hole courses, and before huge crowds.” Was there anything particularly significant about the driving con- ' test at Yankee stadium? Corcoran eaid, “there are two angles of great significance: first, practically everybody in the whole stadium could see exactly how close the various balls came to the pole; and secondly, this huge baseball crowd — which represents a cross-section of American citizenry — was enthusiastically interested in the driving competition whether all understood golf or not." • So —? “So, we are beginning an Immediate Investigation of the proable costs of liaving modern, transportable lighting installed at a near- . by golf course — on three holes, to start — tu> that top-flight golfers may compete there uefore largo crowds at night." Why would the lighting be limited to three holes instead of to a nine-hole course? Corcoran explained that the cost of installing a portable lighting system would be so great that no wealthy golfing enthusiast nor any wealthy golf club would attempt to provide artificial lighting for more than three holes — "In the beginning." What did he mean by “portable?” Corcoran explained that he meant a lighting system which could be moved from one golf course to another “in the beginning of play under lights,” just as threshing machines are moved from one farm to another in midI western grainfields. Ultimately, be predicted, each prominent golf course will have Its owe premanent lighting system — just like current ball parks. Because night golf under Ugnts Is the game of the future.
