'. W Taka If All Back Nelson's Best
We have- always been firm
wrong when the facts prove that
remove our hats to Lord Byron
lime, ana ireeiy anion mat a wc.,v
than Sammy Snead or anybody else that ever
lived. , J
Bobby Jones, the Georgia wizard, wouldn t
stand a ghost of a chance with the present day
Nelson, as fine a golfer as he was. The Vardens,
Hagens, Sarazens, Sneads and Hogans are all the
same to the Toledo umbrellaman. He mows them
down with ridiculous case.
Probably his master performance was his
winning of the All-American Open at Chicago's
Tarn O'Shanter. In copping the $10,000 first
place money. Lord Byron fired 66-68-68-67 269
For the 72-hole route. He was 19 strokes under
perfect figures and 11 shots better than his
nearest rivals, uene oarazen anu ut. ecu jiugau.
To all intents and purposes he was alone from the first drive
until he sunk the- last putt. There just wasn't anyone who could
touch his marvelous performance.
One thing that makes Nelson the hardest man to beat in the
game is his burning desire to win. His competitive spirit is un
surpassed and he has lately proven that he is toughest when the
going is rough and the chips are down.
Of course he also has all the shots in the bag. He has to when
he whips the finest golfers alive as if they were dubs just learn
ing the game. And really these others are beginners in comparison
to Lord Byron. . , . ,
Although admitting that Nelson is the greatest player the
game has produced, we do not necessarily sing a dirge for Slam
min" Sam. Nor do we for the others of the golfing clan. The
Golden Era of other sports may have been in the roaring 20 s,
but the richest era of golf is right now.
Never before have such rich tournaments been provided.
Never before have the players received such idolatry and accom
modations from the fans and sponsors.
Yes, the old sayings of what Jack Dempsey was to the fight
game, what Babe Ruth was to baseball, what Bill Tilden was to
tennis still hold true. But the one of what Bobby Jones was to
golf has become outmoded. It is now what Lord Byron Nelson IS
to golf and what he will mean to the game 20, nay, 50, years
from now! ...
Net Tourney Recalls Budge, Riggs
A Kalamazoo, Mich., date line coming over the Associated
Press wire carrying a story on the national junior and boys'
tennis tournament brings back some pleasant memories to us.
Fnr one think. Kalamazoo is just 50 miles from the town
where we attended high school, and in the second place we once
: had the pleasure of acting as a line judge in this very tournament.
This occurred some years ago at Culver Military academy
where the tourney used to be played. The year that we attended
school there a red-headed gawky kid by the name of Don Budge
won the junior title and a smooth, smart court strategist named
Bobby Riggs copped the boys' crown.
Budge triumphed over a good-looking lad called Gene Mako,
and even then that backhand stroke that was later to devastate
opponents at Forest Hills and at Wimbledon was Budge's greatest
offensive weapon. And even then the hot temper that was to
cost Mako many a match was evident.
We can still recall a shot that Budge made that was easily
inside the stripe and we can still see Mako's. racquet skidding
across the clay at the decision. While Mako's temper often flared
at a white-hot pitch. Budge remained cool and collected and out
lasted Mako after dropping the first set. .....
These two men were to become one of the finest doubles
teams that ever competed for. the prized Davis cup, but Budge
remained the better player of the two and became one of the
greatest tennis players of all time.
Riggs' star was also in the ascendency and he, too,- became
one of the finest players to wear the colors of the United States
nn international courts. He never was and never will be the per
fectionist that Budge became, but
no. l national ranmng alter cuage lumea proiessiormi. -
i Yes sir, a lot of things have happened since Budge outstroked
Mako that summer afternoon on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee,
but we remember it with pleasure as the. start of three boys on
the road to tennis supremacy..

The annual free-for-all for the

Reports from New York have
it that Gotham already- has the

they have received word from

if the game isn't played at West

mat Yankee stadium is being

It's strictly speculation any
way because, according to the
office of defense transportation,
football games must be played
at the home of one of the com
peting teams.
Last year, Navy was the honie
team and the contest was held at
Baltimore, which is not far from
Annapolis and is regarded by
many as Navy's home field. And
according to that ruling, the
game should be played at West
Point this year.
