NEW YORK, March 31. — Putting one little word after another and whatever became of John Nance Garner? Mr. Larry MacPhail may not realize it but the Cards think they slipped him a joker in Mickey Owen.

HERE'S WEISS, head Yankee turist, picks the two big races: American: New York, Cleveland, Boston, Detroit, Chi-

The presses will pause briefly while we raise our eyebrows in sure prise at the selection of the Cubs for seventh place in the National.

In effect, the magazine concedes that Mr. Huile dealt mainly in hooey. An interesting point in the university's rebuttal was the fact that Mr. Huie, who posed as the brains behind a football factory, wasonly 13 years old at the time he was sunposedly moulding All-America material. We can appreciate and understand the magazine's embarrassment, but it had to come sooner or later, if not to Collier's, then to some other national magazine. That's the type of football copy the magazines seem to like best. Any piece that touches a match to the pants of college football touches the heart of a magazine editor. Perhaps some good will come out of the Huie hoax. Maybe, as a novelty, the magazines will start publishing pieces having to do with the beneficial effects of college football. There must be one or two at least.

Hand Me My Wig and Robe, Says McLemore

As He Sits on Bulla vs. Guldahl Case

Ry HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent AUGUSTA, Ga.,, March 31-—-Hand me down my wig and robe, son, I am going to sit in judgment on Jchnny Bulla and Ralph Guldahl. They're a-feuding, you know. It started in Asheville when Bulla quit the Land of the Sky Open golf tournament rather than finish a round with Guldahl. “Too slow,” said Bulla. “Much too slow. I'd rather never win a tournament than play with Guldahl.” Let us consider the case. Guldahl is slow, there can be no doubt of that. He wiggles, he

even in freezing weather, I have also heard it said that one of the

reasons he has to study a putt so long is that the grass grows and changes in length between the time he addresses the ball and finally taps it toward the hole,

But don't let us overlook this fact. Guldahl's name is written twice on the United States National Open cup. That is the blue ribbon of golf, the open, and to win it Just once is the goal of every man who swings a club for pay. Bulla's name is not on that cup. One must wonder if Bulla would adopt a more leisurely pace around the course if he knew deliberation on every shot

waggles, he squirms and he jiggles before making a shot off the tee. He is deliberate to the point of exaspération on the fairway, and when he reaches the green he studies a putt as if it were a strange animal, washed up on the shore frem some mythical land. T have heard it sald that a jar of molasses—given a pair of knickers and set of clubs—could beat Ralph around a course,

would write it on the big silver mug. But a judge must study both sides of the argument, and Bulla has one, whether he has won a National Open or not. Guldahl-— and I am sure he does not do it with malice aforethought—is unfair to’ many of his fellow proessionals when he plays so slowly. The average professional golfer is much faster than Guldahl. He makes his shot and moves along.

Too, the average

a high strung creature. More often than not he is make ing every shot in the hope of paye ing the rents, buying babv a new bib, and the missus a new frock, To be paired with Guldahl really does something to their nerves. It hurts their game and what hurts their game hurts their live lihcod. Bulla is not the first to ohject to Guldahl's slowness. He is the first to make an open break with Ralph, but this reporter has heard a score of pros grumble about being paired with him My summation: Bulla was tactless and rude in making his break with Guldahl so obvious. Guldahl could be more siderate. He could play a bit faster without hurting his game, In my opinion a man who knows encugh about golf to hit the ball as well as Ralph does, gains nothing from a five minute study of every lie, every roll. He could reduce this study by two minutes and be just as efficient Here boy, take my robe and wig. I'm finished, and next time bring me a wig that doesn't have a cowlick.
