16 Saturday, August ,19, 1972 The Ottawa Journal Trevino talks "Boxing's still I can remember telling all you people that the Mex would have a go. in the Open. And I did it. Champ twice in a row. and no one's been that since Arnie Palmer, which must be around 10-years ago.

That would be about the time I was a pitch-and-putt pro down in Dallas and making so little loot I kept wondering if I was in the right business. Because 1 had another game, instead of golf. Boxing that's my first love and if I'd been born within walking distance of a gym I wouldn't mirid I'd be welterweight champion of the world today. I got me some fighting ,111 --the -Marines -r both inside and Ika VAnnr Af fil.fi ft seven in. and weighing ,10 st.

seven b. I was in the welterweight division. I was' no cute boxer, but I had fast hands, a good dig. I bobbed, I weaved, I was hard to tag. 11 J3 mm ui me, uauj.

i did it Marciano-style and- I prabbed me some quick knockouts. I was building quite a reputation when the top brass put the block on it. They wanted me out there on the golf course grabbing them some birdies. Those fel-" las were so greedy for birdies 1 they had me playing folf seven days a week. BuT boxing's still my first love.

I buy all the fight go see all the fights, watch, it on television I really love the sport. WASTING THEIR TIME Dolly birds who follow Lee Trevino are wasting their time. I'm a one-girl man. This is one of the reasons I won't go into the clubhouse. You won't find me where the little Miss- Hotlips are waiting to pounce.

But this don't stop dizzy dames calling me on my hotel phone at night. "Is that Mr. Trevino speaking?" they breathe, sexy-like. "It is I say, "and will you please hang' up because Mr. Trevino is sleep-.

ing." "How come, when I'm talking to him?" Honey," I say, "I'm walking in my sleep." They get the point, (the phone goes down. I've found notes in my locker back in the changing room written in lipstick making all sorts of cute proposals. I've had ladies slip their hotel bedroom key in my back, pocket while I've been out chasing birdies on the course, But I never play along; it ain't my style. Anyway you never know when it might be a set-up. It's very easy to get a big sports star on a paternity suit.

And shucks, I'm'no dummy. -I've gone and got me the most beautiful wife in the world I'd give up everything I've everyone in my life just to keep her happy. LIKES LIVING A loner I might but 1 party, a lot, I drink a lot, I like But I've never turned up to a golf tournament drunk, and in this respect I'm a lot like Walter Old Walt used to arrive on the first tee clutching a bottle of champagne and wearing a wrinkled tuxedo and people would say: "This man's been drinking all night." What they didn't realize was that Walt had taken off that tuxedo when he got into bed at 9 o'clock the night before and" then he'd put it back on in the morning and roll about on his bd in it. He used champagne 'for shaving lotion and twisted his bow tie all ways. Then, he timed it so he arrived at.the course late, topping1 off his act by staggering out to the tee.

Old Walt fooled them eluding his opponent who could never figure out how he'd been beaten 10 and 8 by a drunk. MEDIEVAL TORTURE There was a time when I was dying on the green. I couldn't buy me a putt, I was just about driven crazy when I discovered what the trouble was. I'd been breaking my left wrist at impact. I practised hard for a week to cure it and nothing.

So I went to the local hospital and asked them to put my left arm in plaster, from my. forearm fight down over my wrist. Then I drove over to a plas--tic factory and bad them cut the plaster off and make me a light plastic mould. Then I took it out to the practice putting green, strapped it on my arm and hit me some balls. After six weeks of this medieval torture I never broke my left wrist again.

I'd wear anything if I thought it would improve my golf even a strait-jacket.

This senior team competition has been held annually since 1949. Left to right are Robert Col well of Seattle, president of the USLTA; Monte Ganger of Cleveland, captain of the U.S.

Gordon Cup team; John Bonus of Ottawa, president of the CLTA; my first love" A lot of golfers on tour gripe about the travel, how bad the food and laundry is. Well, no matter how bad the food may be I've, eaten worse, and I couldn't care less about the laundry. If I want to wear a particular shirt on a certain day I wash it myself, as I did for the first' 18 years of my life when-1 only had one shirt at a time. Golfers I. admire most? Jack Nicklaus, who makes the game look so easy it's ridiculous.

Arnold Palmer, because of all the color and excitement he's brought to the tour. And Billy Casper, who I feel has been cheated of a lot of glory because he's so underrated. But most of all I admire the golfers who played 20 and 30 years ago the Hogans, the Nelsons, the Hagens, the Sara-zens, the Joneses. I admire those guys because they're the ones who kept this game alive. When they were playing they couldn't make endsmeet, even when they were winning tournaments'.

But they went out, they battled, they played in cow pastures, through mud, they slept five to a room, slept in the back of cars, and when times were real bad they never gave up. They stuck with it. They stuck with it simply because of their love for the game. They were- trying to save it -for the future and I feel like they saved it for I now feel obligated to the players who'll be coming along IS years from now, that's why I talk a lot and clown a lot on the course. I want more and more people to come, I want to make golf the biggest spectator sport there is.

Okay, I know if I talked less, got my head down, walked through people, I might just might win me a few more tournaments. But I'd have to be dead inside to do that. I'd have to be think- ing that golf owed me a living and it doesn't. PUT SOMETHING BACK Sure I take a lot of money" out of the game but I go out of my way to put something of myself back. I don't want to kill the goose.

You look at my galleries, you'll see crumpled shirts and plain dresses. You'll see truck drivers and the guys who grind it out in the factory. presentation to the league and here Hull talks with a couple of youngsters, left to 'right, Jeff and Chris Brown and to Keith Brown (right), secretary of the league. Hull's trophy goes to the MVP in the tourney. yz GORDON CUP MATCH I represent the guys who go to the driving range, the municipal player.

To them I'm someone who's worked hard and made it. I go out of my way to talk to them because they're my people. And when I feel like laughing I want them laughing with me. I'm not as crazy as a lot of people think. I'm foxy.

Agreed, I'm getting crazier and crazier, as far as hollering and screaming on the golf course is concerned, but this is because people expect it. If I go out and don't say a word, people come up to me and say: "What's the matter, Lee, don't you feel well?" So I make a lot of noise, and. I don't care if you're the biggest sports star in the world you must never forget you're a servant to the public. A lot of sports stars think they've got it made because they've become some big celebrity. They go hide away in some corner, avoiding everybody.

They'rfrwrong. I'll go out of "my way to shake hands with somebody, to return a greeting. I'll not duck a question. This is because I know it's the fans who are making me rich. I don't go around thinking I should entertain -the world 24 hours on every day.

There are times when I like to sit back and let somebody else play the music. I love the movies. I go and see all the westerns and war films I can. But I don't like language. or skin movies, where they're in bed nude and you see everything.

Romantic movies are also a pain in the neck. If they showed "Love Story" in my hotel bedroom I'd take me to them they choked. SOME CHOKE There's a lot of good golfers playing today that the public have riever heard of. This is because when the chips were down and they had to knock in the putt to win a championship they let the peessure get to them the choked. When I'm standing over a 4 ft.

putt to win me a championship I grab my guts in my hands and I go for it. If I'm gonna miss it, I'm gonna miss it 'like a champ. There's nothing worse than leaving a putt a foot short and hear people say, "Boy, that guy was really Last on three part series. E. C.

Her first goal is to see the success of the first national women's championships in Montreal starting Monday. The second is to win a provincial sipgles title: The first goal seems assured with the increased interest in the western provinces bound to influence the national body.

MATTER OF TIME Eleeta Frewin understands the feelings in certain, quarters against holding a national championship with the Ontario Association paying most of the freight but she feels it is only a matter of time before those in opposition come around to see the benefit of a strong national body. "There was never any question in my mind," says Mrs.

Frewin, "that we would finally have our Canadian championships. The Ontario and Quebec Associations started it ail with their inter-provincial tournament five years ago." Mrs. Frewin feels that if Ontario and Quebec can help develop lawn bowling in other "provinces, "we are doing a job." "If we give up now, we might as well quit. We must look to. Ontario for leadership.

We must not look back, we must look ahead." expressed the dedicated Agincourt bowler. Mrs. Frewin feels-that if is a singles provincial title. She left no doubt as to her superiority over her opposition last week and she had another hurdle to face at Belleville in the final stage. But it wouldn't be surprising to see her in Montreal for the nationals and it would be fitting to see her become the first Canadian singles champion.

Mrs. Mabels Cummings introduced some much needed color for the final round of the Lady Alexander Trophy double rink competition last Saturday at Highland Park. xThe players were piped on to the greens and all during the matches, were on camera. The finals will be seen on Channel 3, if not this weekend, then the following week. So, here's another first and may it be only the beginning of innovations which are bound to spread interest.

The Canadian Lawn Bowling Council has introduced a little booklet entitled 'The Green and it has all sorts of possibilities when it gains in circulation. The opening publication has a fine message from the CLBC president, Harry Elliott and we would like to pass it on. 'Lawn bowling needs new blood!
