GOLF PROS FRET
AT BOBBY JONES
A tl a n t a Amateur , Wins
Championships Costing
Them Much Money.
lly Loren Disney
i (Associated Press Sport Writer)
J NEW YORK W The golf profes-
sionals are In something of a fret
I over Bobby Junes.
; . The nonchalant ease with which
I he wins open championships Is cost
5 tng them money. They figure that
l something must-be done, und soon,
j In luct, their hope Is that It will oc
' cur no later than July 10 at the Am
j crlcan Open on the Interlachen club
j course In Minneapolis.
' The open championship of the
United States,- it la estimated. " '
1 worth In the neighborhood of $60,
J 000 to a professional golfer. The Brlfc
i lsh title la worth somewhat less,
Hnhhap a wnrrh a rilmn In actual
cash to Bobby Jones or to any other
. amateur. '
J Yet Jones holds both titles. And
I from the form he showed In winning
hla loaf tlim UrfHnH Drift n thr ChanCCS
a i)i ine nruicniiuiiuiB uid nunc
stout for halting him In the coming
competition.
- America's hardest working amateur
..finished two strokes better than Leo
Dlegel, professional good enough to
win the Canadian Open four times
and the P. G. A. twice. His was five
strokes better than the card of Hor
ton Smith, young professional who
porsistcntly hauled off the largest
winnings In the winter tournaments.
' Some of the professionals didn't
even enter the'BritiBh Open on the
hope of working Into better form for
a grab at the rich American prize. ;
Walter Hagen was one. Hagen has
won the British open numerous
times, but he says the play tooK sit
much out of him that he was never
able to win tho American the same
year. The last time he won, In fact,
was In 1919 at Braeburn.
Nor were the names of Johnny
Parrell, who made a nice prorit from
winning the American Open In Chi
cago in 1928. or of Gene Sarazen who
Won the event on tho Skokie course
In 1922, found among this year's Brit
ish open players. They, too, hoped
not to lessen their cliances In the
coming event through too much play.
True, when an amateur finishes
first in an opon tournament, tho first
prize money goes to tho highest fin
ishing professional. First prize In the
American Open is 1,000 and a gold
medal. But the sum is very small
potatoes Indeed' compared with the
use a professional--can make of the
golden bauble. f
Firms seeking endorsements, clubs
seeking exhibitions of golf, it has
been found, want the champion not
the highest finishing professional.
So the professionals eye Joiicb a bit
hopefully. Can he the same year
again win both of open events a
thing that Hagen never has been able
to do. ' . . : "".'.
It poems at least probablo that
Jones can. He won the British Open
Just a few weelts after his gruelling '
victory in the British amateur. Ap
parently he works harder than some
of the boys being paid.

Palatial Fight
Pavilion Is Not
Most Profitable
SAN FRANCISCO This city of
seven hills, once the hub of boxing
has a palatial fight pavilion while
Oakland's club feats and put on in
the huge civic auditorium but the
leading money maker of the sec
tion is a drafty, smoke filled little
place called National Hall.
Out In the Mission district of San
Francisco, lta customers throng in
from all parts of the city to watch
the boys plaster each other with
gloves in bouts of short duration.
Business men, judges and a lot of
other bigwigs rub elbows with the
proletariat.
Al Young, the promoter, has been
In the "racket" for twentv-five vears.
Long ago he gave up the idea of
going -in -for title or "heavy-money"
fights. Instead he cultivated local
talent, mostly inexperienced young
sters who by their very greenness
furnish fistic fireworks that huve
the fans Jumping up ond down in
their scats like fleas on a hot stove.
Young's club Is referred to as
"The House of Thrills" because there

the boys thump each other in
Yopungs, cracker box. A money los
ing snow tnere is as rare as a mus
tache cup for young men.
Young proceeds on the theory that
a small pront is better than no
profit and considerably more satis
factory than loclng money. And so it
does. When the big clubs check up
at the end of the year they find
that a number of losing shows have
cut deeply Into the profits accrued
from a few paying affairs. Young
sits up a couple of nights worrying
through his income tax.

' The special protective measures and
safeguards at highway Intersections
In tho way of standard fixed signs
and markings, ' the Conference de
clares, should be as follows:
: "I. Advance warnings signs in the
form of standard "cross road" or
"sido road"1, signs at approaches to
highway intersections where the
crossings would not otherwise be
readily recoghlzed, or where there is
a hazard that is not otherwise ob
vious; also, center line markings on
roadways Of heavy traffic, and lane
markings on wide roadways.
"2. At points nearer the Intersec
tion 20-mile speed signs where the
view is obstructed, or other special
hazard exists, and the highway is not
protected against crossing traffic by
stop signs; and stop signs at the en
trances to through highways; also,
where these signs cannot be seen suf
ficiently In advance the placement of
standard slow signs, and with pave
ment markings, if necessary, to sup t
plement them. 1
: "3. Short directional lines on the
bavement with arrow to indicate di
rection, or suitable traffic markers or
buttons to direct the movement of
traffic within the Intersection.
Where the traffic is danse on both
tho highways at an intersection, the
Conference believes that unless grade
separation is economically practical,
there should be stop-and-go control
of traffic by automatic lights or by
traffic officers.
Where the traffic Is dense on both
road and light on tho other, the Con
ference believes that traffic actuated
controls afford a practical means of
avoiding excessive Interruption of the
travel on the main thoroughfare, or
undue delay of traffic on the smaller
road.
The Conference gives voice to 'the
caution that public authorities should
give careiui study to traffic condl-
tions at a given point in deciding
upon Installations of control appara-
uw to tne end or avoiding waste in
funds and undue handicaps ln the
movement oi ve nicies.
