Ed Walsh, Babe Ruth, George Slslcr, Rogeri Hornsby and Hani Wagner. It would be something to look at especially for those who carry memories ot other baseball days. Or suppose you could put on a se-ries of flfihta that knew such names as Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzslmmons, John Lawrence Sullivan, Jim Jeffries, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tun-ne- y and Joe Louis. That, also, would be something to see. In a way, after this fashion, the Hale America open golf show in Chicago, for war fund purposes, Gene Tunney was the closest aP' proach anyone could make along the lines of past and present stardom when it comes to a matter of past color and skill, hooked up with modern ability to wreck par. Turning Back the Clock When it cornea to turning back the clock in Chicago's golf ensemble we can give you Chick Evans, an ie from the Edgewater G. C. in Chicago, who was a star golfer 35 years ago and who Is still good. We could give you Francis Oui-me- t, another who at the age of 20, turned back Harry Var-do- n and Ted Ray 29 years ago at Brookline in Massachusetts. And be Is still good. Or we can give you Walter Hagcn who threatened at Brookline in 1013, and came along to win the U. S. Open in 1914 at Midlothian, Chicago. Or Bobby Jones who starred at Merlon In 1916, only 26 years ago, at the age of 14. Or Gene Sarazen, who at the age of 20, won the U. S. Open at Skokie, another Chicago course, in 1922 a mere lapse of 20 years. . And don't think that Jones and Sarazen can't break 70 today. Hagen, Jones and Sarasen togeth-er have won something like 30 na-tional and International champion-ships. Jones and Hagen have been the two great golfers of all times and when it comes to the combined check-u- p of skill and color Sarasen Isn't far away. Harry Vardon had his full share of skill, but not the color that goes with the three we have named. The Modern Group No one could expect Cobb, Ruth, Speaker, Young, Lajoie, Sisler or Hornsby to compete with the pres-ent day crop Ted Williams, Joe Gordon, Bobby Doerr, Joe DiMag-gio- , Pete Reiser, Terry Moore, and others. - So no one could expect Jones, Ha-gen, Sarazen and other old-time-to match scoring swings with Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Sammy Snead or Craig Wood. Bnt this la one out-standing feature of golf. The old-time-here and there still will play holes and shots as brilliantly as any Nelson, Ho- - r;viwr fan or Snead can produce. Walter Hagen They no longer have the physical or the concentrative stamina to hook up shot after shot through 72 holes. This means a twelve or a fourteen-hou- r grind, where there Is no let-u- p on nerve pressure where only those who have battled from coast to toast, week after week through many months, are well enough seasoned to go the route. But these still can play all the shots any of the modern crop can produce. The only trouble is that they can't link them together, stroke aft-er stroke, and hole after hole. It Is the Unking process that counts. Even golfers have made boles in one, or hammered brassie shots dead against the pin. So it would be foolish to expect any member from the Old Guard to keep on the heels of a Nelson, Ho-gan or Snead, to mention only three members from the modern group. Jones and Sarazen might in an test. But not over the route, where concentration and nerves begin to disintegrate and fall apart, and the old urge fades out not overlooking a little matter known as youth competitive youth. For all that, the golfers hang on the longest They still can stick around when the others are merely records covered with dust. A Faster Pace There isn't any debating the fact that modern golfers have set a fast-er pace than rs could offer. Their game Is more standardized a 270-yar- d drive and then a wallop tor the pin. But I still think they lack the va-riety of shots old-time- could play the half and three-quarte- r iron, for example. The dynamiter or blaster of the modern crop has made a big differ-ence in bunker play. You also can call it the "wedge." askmc h ? A General Qui, WhfS Corps organized? l 2.

Larry, who heads the group, has an important role in the Astaire-Haywort- h musical. "You Were Never Lovelier." He says it cost only $14.75 to furnish .the house -- it cost Meighan more than $9,000! They've thrown four rooms together and built a theater in which they rehearse parts for pictures coming up There is a large portrait of Tom Meighan over the living room flre-- : place-th- ey picked it up in a Holly-woo- d prop house. The sponsors who, seven years ago, were farsighted enough to see the potentialities of an obscure radio couple and build them into the 'famed Fibber McGee and Molly, give radio another Innovation this summer; they're substituting a AWflHMmmmeil John Nesbitt and Meredith WUIson Metro news commentator and a mu-sician in a half-hou- r replacement program while Fibber and Molly vacation. The commentator is John Nesbitt, the musician, Meredith Willson. The program combines mu-sic with snatches of history, litera-ture and current events. I' Walt Disney, whose "Bambi" will soon be released through RKO, has acquired the screen rights to Major Alexander P. de Seversky's "Vic-tory Through Air Power," and will make it into a feature picture for exhibition sometime this fall. Imagine Charles Boyer producing and acting in something called "Flesh and Fantasy." It will be his first production for Universal; he'll star in one episode, Edward G. Robinson in another, and let's hope they change the title! Capt. Hewitt Wheless, the army flier who was cited by the President for his exploits in the Pacific war, will play himself in a short subject, "Beyond the Line of Duty," which Warner Brothers will produce for the army air corps. This shortage of leading men has proved too much for Harold Lloyd. He's produced two pictures for RKO, "A Girl, a Guy and a Gob" and "My Favorite Spy" and has left the studio. His next picture would have been "Butterflngers," a football comedy. Samuel Goldwyn will select six of the loveliest and most talented sec-- j retaries of Washington, D.

THE Great Men of the prize fight came close to getting Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis in an unsavory mess when they urged that the army allow him to fight another bout in order to earn money to pay his Income taxes. The Great Men made a mistake. The suggestion came shortly after Louis had presented approximately $85,000 to the army and navy from benefit bout receipts. The sug-gestion had too strong an Implica-tion of reciprocity. It was as though the army had been asked to grant Joe a concession In return for his financial aid. Such a move never would have occurred to Joe. His honesty and forthrightness would hive prevent-ed it. Louis is the kind of a person who would naturally steer clear of such schemes. Joe's tax bill Is $117,000. It doesn't take a mastermind to figure out that the man on the street earning may-be $35 a week can't feel very sorry for anyone whose tax bill amounts to that kind of money. Since the orlginal.auggestlon was made, Louis has been transferred to Fort Riley, Kan., for comple-tion of his basic training. In a rul-ing on Louis' status by Secretary of El y-r:- i JOE LOUIS War Henry Stimson, it was stated that "appearances other than those strictly in behalf of the armed forces will not be undertaken by Louis un-til he has finished his training." A soldier since January 13, Louis put in about six weeks of training at Camp Upton. Thus the question of his fighting may be brought up again no later than the middle of August, leaving plenty of time for a late summer fight. However, the shift may end the matter. It probably was a good thing for Joe that the army ordered his transfer to Kansas. The Great Men will find It a bit more difficult to operate from long distance. Too, the next Louis fight isn't likely to draw a very heavy gate. The opposition isn't strong enough to engender much enthusiasm on the part of anyone but the challenger. Conn Is the most suitable opponent, but he's also in uniform. Bob Pas-tor's drawing power is becoming limited to relatives and a few close friends. v There are other angles. The Of-fice of Defense Transportation has frowned on county fairs, conventions and other assemblies which would use transportation equipment that might be necessary In the war ef-fort. A heavyweight championship bout usually has a greater pull than a county fair or a convention of the Friends of the American Buggywhlp Collectors. Louis unquestionably is in good shape. While he was under the jurisdiction of the Second Corps area he was sent out on a good many ex-hibitionstoo many, some observ-ers believe. In this connection, Sec-retary Stimson's statement was quoted: "The many public appearances made by Louis since his Induction have made it Impossible for him to be afforded the same privileges of training that are available to other soldiers. That is unfair to him and to the army." Joe's entireattitude is excellent. When he was told of his transfer, his answer was characteristic: "I don't know anything about it, but anything the army does is all right with me." SPORT SHORTS 2. In the American league the visit-ing team gets 30 cents each for grandstand and pavilion spectators and 20 cents for each occupant of the bleachers. The home club keeps the balance except for three cents which goes to the league to pay salaries and expenses of scor-ers, umpires, etc. H In a recent game against San Antonio, Tulsa put 18 men on base but only two of them scored. C New Vork is the only city which could stage a championship fight without drawing patronage from dis-tant areas. And gas rationing in the East would affect the take consid-erably. C Lieut. Comm.
