It wasn't one of golfdom's major titles, but it was his first big tournament He didn't win the title Golden beat him in the playoff. From then on hla luck would have spelled disaster to anyone but a J. During the 1934 season he finished second in five winter circuit tournaments, losing three times to Ilor-to-n Smith. Wood has been plagued by the phenomenol long shots his opponents have holed to beat him. Opportunity had stepped inside the door at the near-en- d of the Masters at Augusta in 1939. Wood had retired to the locker room to celebrate and there received everyone's congratulations. "It isn't over yet," he told his "There are still a lot of scores to be posted." But Wood, along with the milling spectators, figured his lead was secure. Then the miracle happened. Gene Sarasen scored a double eagle on the fifteenth, hoieing oat a wood shot. Sarasen played the next three holes in par and tied Wood for the championship. Wood lost In the playoffs. To keep the record straight, he finished second in the Metropolitan Open in 1838. well-wisher- s. 200-ya- rd Reversal Completed By LEMUEL F. PARTON TOE JACOBS, manager of Blub- berweight Champion Tony Galen to, struck a new high or rather, a new low recently when he charged that Joe Louis had a metal slug in his hand the night he knocked out Max Schmeling. Joe cant be blamed for trvlne to build up Interest In his fat bov. Something had to be done. A pub lic made apathetic by past heavyweight performances certainly wouldn't rash the turnstiles to see Galento in action, even against the Brown Bomber. Jacobs took it all back when Gen. John J. Phelan, chairman of the state athletic commission, threatened to revoke his license in New York. But the damage has been done. Prize fighting has never been held in the same high repute as other sports, with the exception of an almost obsolete contest called wrestling. Millions of people look upon prize fighting with a raised eyebrow or with compressed nostrils, thinking only of the sport's seamier side. It Is all too true that boxlna haa plenty of unwashed linen In its hampers. It is equally true that the fight game Includes some of sport-dom'a aqua rest shooters la Its ranks. Unfounded accusations, such as Jacobs' bombast, magnify the evils of the ring. Granted that the aver age fan is too smart to be taken in by such hokum, nevertheless, reoe- tition of such baseless charges have an unhappy effect A few crackpots can do untold damage. And the sad part of it is, they don t suffer the conse quences. The entire pugilistic pro fession is the loser. ' .HAKE 'MEW YORK.
