5 HAS AMERICA DEVELOPED A NEW CLASS OF MONEY-MAKING ATHLETE? DIEGEL'S GOLF ALL YEAR MARKED HIM AS DESTINED FOR HIGH HONORS Jim BROOKLYN EAGLE, NEW yOTTTC, OCTOBER 21, 1928. 0. B. Keeler Tells Why Bobby Jones Was Satisfied to Finish "One-Two" New P. G.

A. Champion Established Remarkable Record in Tourney Play LEG DIEGEL ONLY PRO HER 73 IN GOLF AVERAGES 'Exhibitionists, Name Suggested for Group Created by Golf Sport By RALfH TltOST. HAS AMERICA developed a new class of athlete, "the Traveling about this broad land, from one golf championship to another, over sometimes thousand miles, one repeatedly hears about this being the land of democracy while, with more or less usualness, proof Is offered denying this theory of democracy, There are classes In athletics and It is not limited to golf. Some aie easily defined. Others are so blurred as to run into one another like colors on a Batik scarf.

And always one finds people trying' to make distinctions. We have the amateur, ths fellow who plays games solely for the Jove of ty BUNKER. In golfdora admits that Leo Dlegel was the greatest player SOON after the famous play-off between Johnny Farrell and Bob- 'by Jones in the United States open championship at Olympla Fields, when the greatest finish in golfing history was over, and Bobby shooting the last two holes of the 36 in birdies, had been met with birdie by Farrell at each, to stop his rush to gain back a single stroke, I saw Bobby In his room at the club, says O. B. Keeler, Associated Press.

It was the first chance I had had to talk with him. He was taking a bath. He did not look at all downhearted. Von Elm and Jones, Ama teurs, Lead Champion, but Have Played Fewer Rounds. Taking ISO In the 38-hole Maryland JuJL fl in America at the time he waded through Walter Hagen, Oene Sarazen and Al Esplnosa on consecutive days to win the professional match play championship of America.

But more than that he has been the greatest player In America sines the tolling of the New Year bells ushered in J92 barring, of course, Robert Tyre Jones. Last year was an unlucky one for Leo. Hot until late in the season could he win a tournament, and then he had to go through the throes of a playoff with the comparatively venerable Freddie McLeod to capture the rather In significant Mid-Atlantic Open. Later he took the 54-hole San Diego Open, but December saw him slipping Into a sixth-place tie, with a score of JSS, In the Riviera Open and at the month's finish he ended miserably, many State Open, Al Esplnosa slipped a bit and now Leo Dlegel Is the only player among the pros who has averaged under 73 stroke to the round In it. He is his own master.

Private means make It possible for him to go and come as he pleases. He engages In little, if any, tournament golf and so is never accused of having deliberately attained a high degree of proficiency In order that it may assist in the success of some commercial ventures. There is the professional, the artisan professional, who has his salary 1028 tournament competition.

I said something about being sorry he had not finished on top in the most brilliant and hardest-fought finish in all golf. "I don't mind so much," he said. "Johnny's a great golfer and a great kid.

He deserved to win. I did my best and it wasn't bad. And, anyway, as long as I finish one-two, I'm darned well satisfied." Eight Times "One-Two." For several days I pondered that statement. I knew, of course, that no man with the heart of a champion is Immediately satisfied, after coming out second in so brilliant and so game a struggle. Then I began to understand, I think.

It is my own notion, for Bobby never spoke of it again. "One-two" what did it mean, to constantly seeking association with those who have lifted themselves winner, Macdonald 8mlth.

While they admire the playing abilities of the Hagens, Farrells and Diegels, they do not include them on their lists of true professionals.

A somewhat similar though subtler inference exists in the amateur ranks. There are the men who play the game for sheer love. They view the fellows who -afe continually playing competitive golf us being a different sort, not only more proficient, but enjoying another social standing. This later group Is lionized, feted and honored, but still handled as a mere puppet by these men who, though incapable of playing as fine golf, are more vital forces in commerce. Clothes may not make the man, but this civilization unhesitatingly differentiates between men who wear the formal clothes of evening functions and those who do not.
