Show P CE OS ANGELES For For some time LOS ahead outside of two such physIcal physical phys phys- ical teal and mental conditioning games as football and boxing where body contact is vital the main demand on the country will be for playing games above spectator games The two leaders here are golf gal and bowling Basketball is also a playing play ing game on the major side but it 11 also carries a major ma mat major jor sp spectator following follow fonow y ing which neither r t golf gol nor bowling needs P Nar The e bowling call callon callon calls s r on the playing side now runs a away way with s w Ji all the thc others Experts Ex f tell me we weha d ha have ve bowlers bowl ers of one degree Grantland Rice or another now actively ac ae engaged at target work down doWD the thc alleys This far overshadows golf tolf in hi numbers But golf still has the thc call in the thc matter of open country country coun coun- try and five miles of hiking for some club swingers between the ages of oC 8 and 80 Bowling today todDY is by all odds the most popular sport in the United States It is a game that costs fai far farless less than requires as much skill but which still misses the sun and wind and rain and the longer langeI leg hike We are not trying to compare compare com pare the two since they are totally d different They are both great games Neither has the toughening fiber liber- making aspect of football and boxing box ing tag in which you have to take and give a physical beating to get any where But not everybody can play football or box And almost everybody everybody everybody every every- body can play golf gol or bowL About Bowling b The Ille astonishing feature about bowling popularity is that it happens happens hap hap- pens to be a difficult game to write about It lacks the thrills of football foot ball boxing tennis and other sports I mean for the reader It lacks the diagnosing qualities of golf But it is one of the simplest of all games for the player especially oc ox the equipment side And it happens I to carry just as much entertainment as any game one can think about iI ic u ica ua a hurry A game must have amazing quail quail- ties to round up from to players without the ballyhoo bally bally- hoo boo so many other games get II IJ you have never bowled or if U you haven't bowled for many years give It a try and you'll be converted About Golf Golf Gol has always been been and and always must be be-a be a game for the player Many have asked me why big golf goli championships dont don't draw with other oth other er sports In golf gol it is the spectator who takes the beating not the play play- er Although in a big tournament the player takes his share How Dow often orten would you draw big crowds in football racing baseball or any other game if it the thc spectator had to gallop five or six miles over o cross-country cross territory jump ditches climb fences wade through a morass fight through briar patches be a field broken runner and a blocking back to see sec every other shot played A golf gol spectator has bas to be an athlete athlete ath lete in training willing to take a ahard ahard ahard hard bea beating ting to see sec most of the shots played in a championship by some leading star who is drawing the crowds If U golf gol had the same accommodations for the spectator that other games have It would be on a par with an any game played In the way of admissions It is the thc only game 1 I know where herc the spectator gets a harder workout than the thc player draws The Range o of Games GaInes This happens to be the greatest sporting country in the history of a eyed cock-eyed world But with war conditions conditions con as they are there must be certain readjustments For the youth of the country I still insist there must be a maximum maxi mum of body contact games games espe espe especially dally football and boxing Baseball Baseballs Is s also a great game So are track and field and basketball Also ten nis Also golf They help to make legs They add to physical stamina The They are arc strictly worth while This Is ls especially tree true of golf golI and bowlIng bowl bowl- Lug Ing
