By RALPH TROST Tom Boyd, the man with the brogue, thoroughly agrees with our Idea that the time has come for the professional golfers to turn their thoughts from proving their own skill to illustrating what they can do toward making amateurs just, as good. "The pro has proved what he can do," says Boyd.

"Now it's up to os to prove that the amateur can do the same thing. "The first step Is for the pros to encourage amateur golf. All sorts of amateur golf. In fact, at the first meeting of the Long Island P. G.

I'm going to suggest that the pros put on a tournament for which the pros will pay for prizes ami the amateurs for nothing at all. "The second step and I mention this out of pari-mataels came ii to have so much of this amateur golf that the amateur won't have time to remember there's a horse running. "The third step," Tom confides, "is for the pro to keep In the background. "After all, golf is a game to be played and not just watched or talked about. There's no sens in letting about 40 playing professionals that's all there are take up the entire interest in golf.

Not that golf has reached such a stage. No sir, golf's a game in which the most important thing is still your own shot, your own score and your own swing. I'm just thinking sooul keeping the game from having attention rutted into a narrow channel. "I'm glad to read that there are to be plenty of amateur tournaments this year. I'd like to see an invitation tournament at some club every weekend.

That way, a man would have to keep up his game or become a social outcast. And the more I think of this idea, the better I like it." I George, by the wav, has been bitten by the golf bug I again. Not as badly as in those years where his interest was so intense the Princeton pro used to go "round the country with him. But the bite ap- 1 parently is deep. i Duulap, in the last year, has gotten away from I that deep dip whic not merely characterized his 1 swing but made it uncertain what George could do when he didn't play practically every day.

We won't recognise him without the dip. George got rid of it because he thought it bad. And because he has his eye on the nation.il iim- teur championship which, for the last time lor fie years, will be played near New York City. George I figures this is the last chance he'll have at the title he won back in 1933. i So instead of putting out in his boat off Frrrport I and spending the Summer fishing, George Dunlap will probably be niten seen on the golf course.

And that will be a strange sight, too.

before 1,800 spectators In the final of the 11th annual Metropolitan Catholic High Schools basketball Jark Davidson Is dead. He died in Miami. He was only 45 but he was around golf for a long time. Jack of the big body and rather bowed legs was a real character. He was a good golfer, but he'll be better remembered for his singing.

Jack was a real warblrr and where there was a tournament you could depend upon some one to get a crowd together, And a piano and get Jack Davidson started. Aside from some of tne very top professionals and a few of the amateurs, he was one of the best known men in golf and an excellent judge of a golfer, too. Anemia got Jack. You'd neer have marked him as susceptible to that sort of ailment. But that's what happened.

Jack Davidson was at his best at Pinehurst where the North and South open is now being played. Among th of who will miss him is George Dunlap. and after the Mancini After 13th K. O.

Robinson was up immediately but had all he could do to weather the storm for the remainder of the round. With defeat staring him in the face, Ray came out with a rush in the second round, but it wasn't until the middle of the session that Robinson turned the tide by flooring Ancona for the count of nine.

Pov er Memorial downed All Hallows, 40 to 29, for third-place honors. Last year it was Neil Toomb and Tom Courtney whom the Cooney-men stopped, while last night Bob Mullens and Henry Gehrhardt, who have been scoring 60 percent of Brooklyn Prep's markers all season, felt the tightness of the Saints' defense.

Mullens, the ace scorer, had to be stopped, so Tom Rochford, the best "leech" Cooney has, was given the job as a man-to-man defense while Rochford's teammates played a zone. This style held the high-tallying McMahon tossers to one of the lowest scores of their season. However, It was anything but an easy victory. Gehrhardt, Mullens, Dick Scanlan, Bob Coogan and Ed Milde started for the White and Blue while Rochford, Cliff Turk, Pat Deegan, Bill Peters and Jack Ruane were the opening lineup for St. Francis.

Tom Foley replaced Milde soon after the start but the Terrier five stayed intact until Deegan went out on personal fouls In the closing three minutes. consecutive points for Cooney's team In the second session gave it a 13-to-7 advantage but Scanlan tallied twice from the foul iine and then popped one. Just as the final whistle sounded Coogan lifted one from the center of the floor to deadlock the numbers at 13-all. Three minutes of the third quarter were spent with the teams swapping points. The Terriers called time.

Then three fast plays netted three St. Francis baskets plus Rochford's charity Turk to Deeean to Ruane, the sweetest play of the game came after Turk handed Peters a pass underneath through eight players. This was followed by Petcr3 stealing the ball from Gehrhardt and racing under for the third basket and the right side of a 24 to 17 mark at the three-quarters. Twice In th final eight minutes Brooklyn Prep rallied, the first time bringing the McMahon lads up to the short side of a 25-to-24 count. After trailing by five points again, Mullens came through with a three-point play and Milde dropped a long toss only to have St.

Francis pull awry on two doubles by Rochford on passes from Peters and Ruane and a foul shot by Turk. Rochford held Mullens to two baskets one on the three-point play when the St. Francis man was knocked away from Mullens and the other on a rebound. Rochford was taking the ball off the Brooklyn Prep backboard when he fell forward. Mullens, behind him, took the rebound for a basket.

The foul-shooting cup was captured by BUI McLoughlin after three extra toss-offs. Six players were deadlocked with 13 hits in 15 tries McLoughlin and Jack Cullen of St. Francis, Charles Golan of Cham-inade, Gordon Hill of St. Simon Stock, Fred Kunz of Our Lady of Good Counsel and Neil Toomb of Power Memorial. McLoughlin and Toomb collected nine out of ten while Golan and Cullen netted eight each.

Both McLoughlin and Toomb made three out of five but Toomb missed one more than McLoughlin In the next test. Cullen teok third-place honors. The scores: St. Francis 1 Brooklyn Prep B.O.T.V.' 6.O. P.

ATTRACTED GREATS The A is the event that brought out Bill Sakmann, ranked as one of the greatest of all the handball greats; Jack Seaman, the most graceful performer ever to tread the Trinity court the champ who made the toughest shots seem easy; Cy Alexander, whose serves and bristling volleys still reverberate; Sol Goldman, who actually talked to the ball and made it Yedlin, who stationed himself barely a foot from the wall and volleyed back in rapid succession cannonading drives; Eckle Gallowln, Sam Bux-baum, Lou Lubin and many others who reaped distinction In this classic. Londin, Goldstein and Margolis are previous winners hoping for a repeat in the '40 edition. Margolis stands out, though, among the trio with a record of two club victories, the second in 1936, having clinched the coveted William A. Pothier Trophy, then symbolic of the A title and nine years in circulation.

(And right here I want our artist, Golfer (Pick) Weygant, to take a bow for the I expressive golf pictures he gives us.) Over-eagerness produces anything but a swing of the club. The loo fast back action makes the left elbow bend. The grip loosens.

There is no body turning. And the whole body is as rigid as the heel of your i shoe. The bending of the elbow as pictured greatly restricts the arc of the swing, and that in turn, correspondingly restricts the hitting power of the clubhead. Keep your left arm fairly straight as shown. Letyour, upper body turn.

Loosen up that left knee and let it bend over toward the right. 1 (Chester Morton's No. 1 booklet takes you from the grip, stanre, address, body and foot action through the entire swing. Address him care of this paper enclosing 3c stamp and self-addressed stamped 3c envelope.) City Evening Matmen (Top Flatbush B. C.

The compilation includes hunting licenses alone in 22 States and in the others only the fishing and trapping licenses that were combined with those for hunting. Michigan led the country with 682,605 licenses. Pennsylvania was second with 661,443. New York third with 657,810, Ohio fourth with 565.104 and Indiana fifth with 389,092.

Federal migratory-bird hunting stamps, commonly known as' duck stamps, brought an additional $1,002,000 for the 1938 season, making the total for State licenses and Federal duck stamps more than $13,500,000. The Federal stamps, at $1 each, are required of waterfowl hunters over 16 years of age, in addition to State licenses. These returns, according to Biological Survey officials, show that the number of hunters has continued to increase. Since 1935 the increase has been at the rate of almost a million a year.
