Coos Cupid Blows Up
COQUILLE. Ore., July 8. (UP)
There were three fewer marrlago li

June, 1038, tiian during the corres
ponding period last 'year.
What golf's money boya call "the
hardest tournament In the world to
win" the P. a. A. conflict opens at
Shawnce-On-Delaware, Pa., July 10,
and all eyes wilt
be on Ralph Qul
dahl, the burly
fellow who ro
centfy copped the
National open
for the second
year, and
frail Denny
Schute, who has
won the Profes
sional Qolfers as
noclatlon crown
the last two seA-sona.
In addition to
Schute, there will
be six former P.
Q. A. champions gunning for the
title Hngcn, garazen, Leo Diesel,
Runyon, Rcvolta and Armour a bril
liant array, but Denny and Guld.ihl
are considered the two logical fa
vorites. They will be battling for
something other than the mere title.
too.
Guldahl wants to become the sec
ond golfer tn history ever to win the
National open and the P. O. A. the
same year. Gene Sornzen Is the only
player who hns been able to turn
the trick. He did It- 16 years ago,
and stneo then the world's best havo
fired In vain for tho coveted grand
slam.
Billy nulcv
As for Schute, he wants to Join
Walter Hagen as the only golfor ever
to win the P. G. A. more than
two successive years. The Halg, one
of the game's Immortals, grabbed It
four straight years, 1024-27.
Another profeastonal who Is rated
more than an outside chance at the
crown Is long-driving Jimmy Thom
son. He knows the layout by heart,
as Shawnee-On-Delaware Is where he
makes his living. Harry Cooper, lead
ing money-winner so far this year
and one of tho game's greatest stars,
will be after his first major cham
pionship, and Dick Mctz, runner-up
In the National open to Guldahl, are
other dark horses.
The pro's start off with two days
of medal play, then bang away for
five clajM at match play. Par for
the (i,(105-yanl course Is VI. The
layout Is long, well-tmpppd, has
gnod-Hzcd greens and requires ac
curacy off the tees.
What an unpleasant laugh that
must have been to Lowell Brown and
Austin Prazler when they heard Um
pire Rosa of Crescent City get up at
tho Southern Oregon league meeting
In Grants Pass Wednesday night and
tell the directors that no Crescent
City players were gathered around
home plate and Illegally on the field
when that tying run scored In the
protested game here June 3d. There
were positively at least five Crescent
City players crowding around Med
ford'a catcher, Cliff McLean, waving
their arms and shouting to the high
heavens, when the runner was al
lowed to score from thtrd base, and
we'll bet everything we possess against
a plugged penny It's so. . J
body else's In Medford who saw the
game, Umpire Ross of Crescent City
Is Incompetent and shouldn't be al
lowed to officiate In the circuit.
Prazler, after the meeting, proposed
to Manager Roy Deo of Crescent City
that two neutral umpires be obtained
for the next two Medford-Crescent
City game, and Deo refused. He told
Prazler that Rosa was perfectly satis
factory to Crescent City. To which
we will be glad to add that he should
be, after "stealing" the first-half
pennant for' Deo and his club,
whether It was an unintentional
"steal" or pot.

It was the lousiest umpiring we've
over seen In the league, but there la
nothing to be done about It. The
league directors took the stand that
the umpire Is supposed to know
what's going on. which is true, and
when he testified there were no
Crescent City players Illegally on the
field, that settled that. The directors
can't be blamed; they had to listen
to conflicting testimony And make
their decision. Because the umpire
bosses the game, there was nothing
else to do but uphold his decision
