GOLF PURSES GRDIVINC
PROFESSIONAL SOOX MAY
PLAY FOK $10,000 REWARD.
Further Advances In National As
sociation Prize Money Seem
Assured.
BT WILLIAM UNMACK.
Is the day approaching when golf
professionals will be playing for
$10,000 purses? The general improve
ment in golf, the increasing interest
in the ganie and a growing compe
tition between hotel golf links for
services of the professionals for spe
cial matches all look as though the
trend is toward larger purses for the
"pros," with ultimately the hitherto
unheard-of sum of 110,000 as the
purse.
Boxers have made more than $100,
000 in one contest and Dempsey and
-Carpentler each expect to do better
than that. The old-time professional
runners used to compete for thou
sands of dollars, while baseball play
ers in the world series always get a
"split" of several thousand dollars as
their share of the series. To. date,
however,, the golf professional has
never reached this class of high fi
nance. The history of prize money and golf
takes is interesting. The original
large purse was hung up in 1849 when
Aflan Robertson and Tom Morris beat
the Dunn brothers at Musselburgh,
Scotland, for $2000. -Remember, also,
that the sum In those days meant con
siderably more than today. In 1901
the famous tourney at Machrie. Scot
land, gave the winner, J. H. Taylor,
$500. For many years an English
newspaper, the News of the World,
has promoted a professional tourna
ment that has always divided $2500.
the winner taking $500. In 1909 at
Berwick on Tweed. England, a total
of $1600 was divided. George Dun
can took first .prize, $650. . The larg
est prize offered in this country was
In 1915 when Willie Anderson won
the Panama-Pacific international ex
position professional tournament in
which the first prise was $1000.
In 1919 Germany set aside $2500 for
the open golf championship, while'in
this country since 1916 the Rodman
Wanamaker prizes to the professional
golfers' association match play cham
pionship has totalled over $2600 an
nually, besides the diamond-studded
gold medals awarded.
In recent years the National Golf
association of this country has in
creased the amount of prize money.
In several Instances the subscriptions
and purses offered by local and sec
tional bodies have been growing and
surpass even the increase by the na
tional body. Indications point to fur
ther advances and it may be well to
inquire into the reasons.
There are several. Primarily It Is
a pure- point of advertising. Large
purses attract nation-wide attention
to this course or that, to that links
or the other, or to this hotel or that.
Anyone who follows golf knows of
the famous course at Gleneagles, Scot
land. It has been made internation
ally famous by the large purses put
up for the "pros" and $4000 for a
four days' tourney is a mere, baga
telle. The purse has done what was
intended. It has advertised the hotel
and the hotel links.
In this country the hotels are fast
awakening to the fact that tourists
want golf linfcs, and where possible
these links are adjacent to the hotel.
All over this Pacific Coast are ex
amples of it. Florida, Colorado and
a dozen and one other states cater to
golf. One by one these resorts are
attracting attention and getting the
best golfers to perform. Competition
is becoming keener. The "pros" know
where to get the big money iyid it is
only a matter of a short time when
we will hear of $10,000 purses.

EBB DANIELS is as pretty and

carefree days before the comely star
played the leading role in "Pinched

Days in the Cooler," in Orange county,
California.
Beautiful Bebe appears in "Ducks
and Drakes" as Teddy Simpson, a lit
tle chicken who lives with a kind but
fussy old aunt Aunty Weeks -has a
wealth of silvery hair, most of which
was probably changed from gold by
trying to keep up with the lively
pranks of Teddy.
Teddy is engaged to marry a fine
young fellow named Rob Wins-low.
but she doesn"t greet the idea with
cheers. During the frequent periods
in which Teddy is sentenced to soli
tary confinement in her room as pun
ishment for some harmless escapade
she invents a game to while away the
time and get a thrill of adventure.
The game is played by calling a tele

Morgan's committee will hereafter
work with Arthur Cozine of the loca

eastern studios in choosing sites for
exteriors. The homes, estates and
yachts of wealthy New Yorkers will
be at the disposal of the company
and the money that would normally
be paid to the owners for the use of
the property will be given to worthy
causes.
Some Idea of the Immensity of the
business of specialization in one and
two-reel pictures can be obtained
from a statement of Educational Film
Exchanges. Inc., that in less than
ten months of the existence of its
own exchange system it has issued
82S8 prints of comedies and scenic
pictures, representing approximately
13,000,000 feet or 2270 miles of film.
Based on the estimate of a single
year for the life of a picture (and in
the case of short subjects it is nearer
two years) and with the average
showing of each picture only three
times a day (with the real figures
showing five) this would represent
the stupendous total of 13.982.202,000
feet of film, or 2,648,144 miles, to be
unrolled before the public of the
United States and Canada.

Washington Says No to Inquiry
Concerning Calling orf of
fcrtbtvest Event.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 2. (Spe
cial.) That Oregon is weakening
with decision to bold the Pacific
coast conference championship at Eu
gene next Saturday is taken from
the tenor of a telegram received by
University of Washington .officials
yesterday. '
The Oregonians telegraphed, asking
if Washington would approve of call
Ing off the meet of the northwest
conference championships, an even
which Pullman is to hold later in tnr
month. An emphatic "No!" was sent
the Oregonians.
"Oregon is apparently disinclined to
hold the coast meeting without the
California colleges being entered, but
they can hardly expect to take an
event away from Pullman which has
already been awarded, declared Dar
win Meisnest, graduate manager
athletics at the university.
Dr. Leslie J. Ayer of the Lnivysity
of Washington and secretary of the
Pacific coast conference, said: "We
shall reach a conclusion in a day or
so. We do not know if California and
Stanford will compete, but they may
do so when the subject has been
brought to their attention. As mem
bers of the conference they have the
right to participate or not. as they
choose. It is a Pacific coast confer
ence meet and I am of the opinion
that we shall go ahead with the mee
whether or not the California mem
bers enter."

While there Is a frequent hue and cry
that athletics are prone to lower the stan
dard of scholarship of the athlete, we do
not hear so much about the fact that
undergraduate managers of athletic teams
are also subject to the same ailment As
a matter of fact the business end of man
aging a big team requires more time and
attention than the athletic end. It has
recently cqmo to light that Harvard uni
versity's undergraduate managers are not
standing as high In their classes as they
might This probably is more than offset
by the business knowledge obtained
through practical experience. Tens of
thousands of dollars are handled by these
youthful business men.

If comparative figures count for any
thing, and as a general rule they take, a
notion to be misleading, the University of
California crew which is going east to
compete against Princeton, and also In the
Poughkeepsie regatta, has a fine chance
of stirring up things for the eastern oars
men. Since the defeat of the Yale university
crew by the University of Pennsylvania
recently, their best friends won't know
them when they appear In their next race.
They have been what might be termed
