June 19 (U.R) It has come to my attention that the wife of a well-known newspaper man was Insulted' yesterday during closing play of of the $10,000 Red Cross open golf tour nament at the Wykagyl Country club in New Rochelle, N. Y. The insulter happened to be I a snobbish woman apparently a social climber who ques tioned the right of the newspa per man's wife to mingle with the wives of club members on the grounds that the club fraus were ladies. I would not mention the Inci dent but for the fact that it's "a crying shame" and an illus tration of why tournament golf is not more popular than it is. I was not at the Wykagyl club; I was sweltering at the national track and field championships. But the Incident at Wykagyl forces me to blow off. It seems high time that some newspaper man tells the nation what is wrong with golf what always has been wrong with It. That can be packed into a nutshell the snobbishness of members of clubs where big tournaments are played. Down through the years I have covered various tourneys and lt has been my experience that the swankier the club the more the newspaper people to say nothing of the cash custom ers got kicked around. The press room or press tent usually was placed in some spot where the reporters were less likely to have contact with the club mem bers. And when the male members of the club were given badges to officiate In handling the gal lery, a reporter had to kowtow or genuflect to get close to a green where Important play was occurring. And at the club house the newspaper men were treat ed with the thumbs-down cor diality that might be accorded a garbage man not that I have anvthing against garbage men. This lack of democracy among social climbers who invite Im portant tournaments to their clubs long has been a thorn In the side of the Professional Golf ers' association, which Includes In Its' membership manv of the grandest guys In sports. The golf pros appreciate the press and, above all, they appreciate the customers the golf fans who pay their way Into tourneys. But they have been taken advantage of by the country-club snobs for years, as the officious badge- wearers and their eyebrow-lift ing wives alienated public and press. I suggest now to the P. G. A. that lt Inform the various coun try clubs, before closing con tracts for tourneys, that the po tential customers and the poten tial press representatives wlil be human beings not dogs. 100 ENTERED IN CIcago, June 19 h(U.R) Ma rine Lt. Patty Berg, the red haired Minneapolis golfer whose game Is up when the chips are down, opened nefense of her title today In the 15th annual wom en's golf tournament at Park Ridge Country club. A field of 100 women, Includ ing two former champions and challengers from 19 states, teed off for the qualifying rounds this On Your, 6.00-16 Tire J. morning to determine the 32 low scorers who will open match play Tuesday Eighteen -hole elimination rounds will continue through Friday, with the 36-hole title match scheduled for Sat urday. TEXASlClLBOY New York, June 19 U.R) With the eyes of Texas and the rest of the sports world upon him, Charley Parker, stream lined high school kid from San Antonio, Texas, prevented the Amateur Athletic Union outdoor track and field championships over the week end from being a complete fluperoo. This 17-year-old running sensa tion lived up to his advance pub licity by winning the featured races of the meet, while other big-name pertormers failed to provide even a single meet rec ord before the sprinkling of fans in the Randall's Island sta dium. Parker won the tourney's "big" race yesterday, hurtling to the tape with a blazing stretch finish that gave him an 11 -Inch victory in the 200-meter senior run. He had taken the Junior 100-meter crown on Sat urday. Yesterday's 200 senior tri umph was a glorious victory of a youngster who never before had been outside the state of Texas. His explosive momentum carried him past Edward Con well, speedy Negro from New York U., Just before they hit the finish yarn. He was clocked in 21.3 seconds, considerably off the meet record of 20.4, but he won his 51st consecutive final. UOW THEY! American W. L. Pet.
