THE INDIAN

SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

WRITING IN the New York World Telegram, Lawrence Robinson points out that only a few years ago victory in the U. S. Open golf tourney meant $50,000 . . . and that it was practically guaranteed in a grand circuit of exhibition matches as hinterland hackers eagerly ponied up for the privilege of seeing the year’s King o’ the Links. But those lush days are gone and the golfing road show is rapidly joining vaudeville limbo. . . . As far as Lawson Little, reigning Open champion is concerned, the exhibition circuit is spinaci, says Robinson. . Since he won at Canterbury Country Club, Cleveland, early in June, Lawson has played only eight matches, one of them a Red Cross benefit. : The champ expects to play a few more within the next two months, but will come nowhere near the one-a-day wheel from New York to the West Coast that Johnny Farrell undertook when he won the Open back in 1929, nor will the returns resemble those of Gene Sarazen's heyday . However, Lawson probably is grateful he doesn’t have to pursue such a regimen, the strain of which Farrell felt for years afterward.

He's a Pretty Fair Businessman

LITTLE, nevertheless, isn't going to wind up his title tenure without some reward, despite the decline of tours. . The husky ex-amateur has proved a pretty fair businessman and has been cashing-in on his title in ways not apparent to the naked eye. For instance, Little is sponsor of golf clubs made by Wright and Ditson, a subsidiary of A. G. Spalding. As a result of his Canterbury success, the line has been moving well, and each cluf sold brings a rovalty to the champion. . % Lawson just has finished putting his okay on the 1941 models and thinks he has something.

u # n

2 " LAWSON is rather proud of the fact that he hammered out the irons himself on the forge. . . . Supervised by expert blacksmiths, Lawson stripped down and went to work to produce what he believed to be the clubhead he himself liked. His woods are replicas of those he used in winning four consecutive British and U. S. Amateur titles in 1934 and 1935, but not weighted as much as his own brute weapons.

Stands By Taped-Up Putter

THERE is one club Little carries that flaunts none of the sheen of the factory-made models, however. That is his putter, a straight blade that has had weight dropped on so crudely that it

To Give Soose

A Title

He Beat Overlin and Last Night It Was Zale

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 21. — Just what the middleweight division needed was another “champion” and here he is—Young Billy Soose, a dancing sharpshooter with all the tricks in the hook despite his 23 tender vears,

Billy is the champion killer. First he disposed of New York's cham= pion, Ken Overlin. Then, in com= plete command for the last eight rounds last night, he peppered N, B. A. Champion Tony Zale into sube mission before a stunned crowd that expected to see the same devastating Zale who technically knocked out Al Hostak only a month ago.

Still No Title

Zale weighed 161, Soose 162. Soose {beats the champions but he has no title. Neither Overlin nor Zales risked his crown against Billy. The

Penn State collegian, however, ace (cepted the match with Zale on cone dition he could have a title rematch (if he made a good showing, He showed ‘em all right after his first two “feeler” rounds. Soose knew all about those roundhouse body rights that caused Hostak's collapse and he kept his eye peeled. During that interlude, Zale won his only two rounds. Then Billy opened up. He stuck his long left jab in the champions face and daubed it there like a paint brush for the rest of the way.

“I was thinking about those long rights to the body, but they didn't hurt once,” Soose said. The only time he apparently was in trouble

Belmont Stakes winner would be retired because of a hoof injury.

“I'm a little superstitious, and as long as I'm doing all right I'll stick to that putter until I quit golf,” states Little. “I know. it looks funny, but it does the trick. And I am convinced that you can't exactly duplicate a putter or a driver as to ‘feel’ Everything else like weight, proportions, appearance, can get an exact replica, but there is a certain little spring or feel that can’t be put into the ew one. I'm not going to change.”

# # # =n o #

LAWSON says that winning the Open has made a better golfer of him because it is forcihg him to work harder on his game to live up to the title. . . . No one ever would accuse the earnest son of an army medical colonel (retired) of not trying hard . Yet Lawson admits he has a tendency to cut corners, especially on the practice tee Still another factor that has helped, admits Lawson, is the utter dismissal of that ‘"second-rater” label which he felt some critics were fastening on him. . . . More sensitive than he appears outwardly, Lawson was beginnning to wonder himself is he were a failure as a pro in comparison to his amateur achievements. Now he knows he isn't as bad as some wanted to make out. He is full of confidence again, and when Lawson Little is confident he's tough on anybody's golf course

Injuries Strike Leading Ball Players

WITHIN the last few days three important big league ball players have been injured and forced out—two for the rest of the season. . The case of a fourth, Burgess Whitehead of the Giants, has vet been determined as being serious. The three shelved are Lefty Grove, Peewee Reese and Al Lopez. Grove broke a bone in his left foot last week and at 40 is not going to mend fast enough to be of any use to Joe Cronin until next spring. Whether Grove will go back to pitching then will be settled during the winter. . . . He won six and lost three this season and, sang his swan song Aug. 4, when he beat the Tigers with eight hits.

” 2 2 o

REESE'S INJURY is not likely to affect him next year. . ik The break in his heel bone is hothing worse than a chip and will not impair his speed. . . , However, the Dodgers need his services more than ever now. Losing Lopez is going to be exceeding tough for Frankie Frisch, as Al was the man behind the recent rally of the Pirate pitching stafl. . . . He may return in a fortnight.
