SATURDAY, APRIL 13. 1940 TEE TO REEN ALKING about LlOLF By ALLAN ANDERSON A LTHOUGH the C.L.G.U. has cancelled its national tournaments for 1940 the Manitoba branch expects to have a full program. At a recent meeting it was decided that the regular events will be held with this difference: prizes will be eliminated except for the odd golf ball here and there, and entry fees will be cut in half. Any profits accruing will be turned over to war charities.

Dates are not yet released, but the first event will be the four mmti in mid May, followed by The Tribune trophy handicap tournament about the end of the month. The postponed "gutty" match has been played at last, and most of the prophets were wrong, for It ended all squaro. Braid. 70 (age not score), and Herd, almost 72, played Cotton, 33 and Havers 41. The Old Gentlemen (capital letters, please, they deserve the honor) used the current balls, and the youngsters played gutties.

Darwin reports that the difference in length was not nearly ao great as lie had expected, the gutty doing particularly well with the wind behind it. In approaching it aat down like the traditional poached egg. But against the wind it drifted off to the right, bothering both players a good deal. Best ball scores of either aide about 74. Mot Far Off It's Just seven and a half weeks to the first Manitoba tournament, the Inter Club, June at Pine Ridge.

Some of the men who will play in it have been working out all winter, some have had a few tentative workouts, and others, taking their first swings today or tomorrow, will go to work Monday with the odd sore muscle or blister to remind them that summer is here again. The list of tournament s( published on these sports pages today), follows pretty closely the rotation of courses which has been custom au for some years. The dates also are about the same, but you will notice that the Manitoba Open, played last year in September, has been brought forward to the last Wednesday in August. The Open is a good tournament to play in on of the two days in the year when amateur get a chance to stack themselves up against professionals. It has suffered somewhat, in my opinion, from being staged in September, because there always seems to be a sort of unwritten understanding In Winnipeg that Labor Day marks the end of the holiday or summer season.

This is early to be talking about August event, but now that the tournament is in August I'd like to suggest to all amateurs who might be interested that they make a note of the date, Wednesday, August 28, and try to make arrangements ahead of time to play at Niakwa that day. Not included in the M.G.A. published list, because it la by invitation only, is the annual 36 hole test to select the Willingdon Cup team that will represent Manitoba at Edmonton. has not been definitely tied down yet, but 1 believe it will be the same as last year, 18 holes on each of the Hill courses, played on July 7 or July 14. may find by that time that ome of our best men have temporarily enrolled themselves for a grimmer game, and are learning to use deadlier tools than a mashie.

Who knowsT The word still us "carry on." Augusta National Among tantalizing but welcome Items received recently from friends are enticing color pictures of the Augusta National course, another of Royal Col wood, Victoria, and several scorecards for my collection. And the weather here, (up to Thursday anyway) is still pretty good for curling. Some interesting record of the Augusta Masters' tournament came with tl.e cards. Of the men who have played In all six tournaments, Ed Dudley leads with 1,745 for the 432 holes, which is an average of 4.039 strokes, and 17 over par (par being even fours). Paul Kunyan is only two strokes behind him and Henry Pirard comes third with 1.757.

My Informant says the Augusta National course is all that Is claimed for it Beautif 1 1 tough for par players, but plays nicely for the average player If you can put bite into your approach. Short holes perfect, good shot rewarded and a poor on badly punished. The Canadian Seniors have deeded to hold their annual tournament as usual. It will be played at Mississauga, Toronto, Sept. 2 to 6.

How Hogon Does It The astonishing Ben Hogan Is five feet nine, and weighs not quite 145 pounds. Yet, we are told he is outdriving almost everybody except big Jimmy Thompson. He has strong hands and wrists. And he says these important things: He likes to start from balance, that is, a good, easy, comfortable foot balance; he likes a wide full arc, with full body turn let the entire left side come and he never rushes the down swing, never tries to put the punch in too fast Add to this Sam Snead's remarks aa WESTERN FINALS BEST OF FIVE GAMES Edmonton vs. Kenora SAT 8.30 p.m.

The head is close to ground from at least two feet away." Almost th same thing that Hogan ssid. Combine these two, add a spot of practice and a pinch of common sense, and simmer gently. Ought to taste good. Hogan, by the way, is now running second in the big money stakes. He has earned $6,338 this season, but fell behind Demarest Jimmy won the Masters' and Jumped to 17,652.

The way things are with us veteran dopesters, we do not rui.li blindly into an undertaking of this kind.

First, we weigh and we analyze and we weigh some more and then perhaps we slip down ta the comer for a quirk one pineapple phosphate is my favorite. So. before predicting the finishes 1 in the two major leagues one two three four five six seven eight, let me contemplate the field a minute. I have to get into the mood, which is easier said than done. This is an old mood that I picked up at auction in '32, and it's beginning to fit a little snugly at the shoul ders and waist.

Here is the way I look at the ball clubs: National League Philadelphia Very interesting. Boston Very, very interesting. Cincinnati You can say that again. St. Louis Privately owned.

Pittsburgh Great town. Chicago Pop. At last census 3,376,438. New York Wouldn't live there if they gave it to me. Brooklyn Dangerous.

Amgrean Leagua Chicago Dangerous. Cleveland Very dangerous. Detroit Dnngerous only ott on side streets after dark. New York For sale. Philadelphia May surprise.

Boston Last was good. St. Louis Needs a tightener. Washington What In am I talking about? HAVING appraised the contenders shrewdly and thought fully, I would like to explain about a slight mistake I made In picking the winners last year. My nominees were the Cardinals and Red Sox.

People wrote in to com plain, when the season was over. They seem to have formed tne wrong impression. I meant to say. of course, that Boston and St. Boxing Meet For Cardston The annual Canadian amateur boxing championships of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada will be conducted by the AHicrta branch, A.A.U.

of C. and the Cardston A.A.A., at Cardston, May 23, 24 and 25, with an enlarged program. In addition to the customary 112, 118, 126, 135, 147, 160, litfht heavy and heavyweight events, there will he national champion ship competition for junior (under 19 years of age) in weight limits of 80, 90 and loo pounds; and also in the 126, 147 and 160 pound classes for novices (who have never won a first place in open comtpe tltlon). The championships will be staged in the spacious Cardston auditorium, overlooking the milMon riollar Mormon Temple, the only structure of its kind In the British Empire. An elaborate program of entertainment is being provided for the visiting boxers.

Including motor trips to Waterton Lakes Park in the Rockies, and Glacier Park In northern Montana. Arrangements are under way for several of the outstanding amateur boxers from Manitoba and Eastern Canada to participate in post championships cards to be held In the following week at points between Calgary and, Edmonton, Entry form and details may be secured from K.

GLASGOW, April 13 Clyde defeated Third Lanark, 4 2, in a Scottish West region! soccer match Friday. Louis was a place parlay, both toj finish second, which they did. Folks thought I named them win, and I have been the object of considerable vituperation, aa well as sabotage. One muckefl hove a rock through my window. If he will (end in his name and address, business or private), print ed clearly on a sheet of wtiitt paper, I will aue him.

So much for the past. This yeatl the Cardinals and Red Sox are sure tire, hand embroidered cincli to win their respective pennants. I make no bones about it. I corns! right out in the open, confound it The Yankess look good, but this is their year to crack not widu open, but when the race gets tiht, as it will, the Red Sox, the hungry club, will have more fire and hustle than the Yanks, the well fed club. The rest are nowhere in the American league, though Cle veland and Washington should show improvement.

the National, I pick the Cards because they have the best team the best balance of power. speed, and pitching and the best reserve strength. But the campaign will be hot and tough, and a single important break against any one of six clubs can throw it out of the race. That's what it's going to be a six team fight, with only Boston and Philadelphia out of it and Pittsburgh showing tne most improvement. Here we go: National League St.

Louis Pittsburgh Cincinnati Brooklyn New York Chicago Boston Philadelphia.
