Miami admirers of the young chap are not expecting him to win th * Texas;- that wouid be a pretty tall order considering the stars of the game who have gathered for the meeting, but they do expect that hi* Showing will Justify their faith. This boy Cluci ? pronounced "Si..cee" ? ? Is hailed as having %cv? ry mannerism and style as Gene Sarazen, who is considered by many critics to be the greatest all round golfer America has yet produced. Like the champion. Cluci is of Italian decent and was born in Rye, New York, the town in which Uenc lived when he was a boy. When Sarazen was 15 years old he went to work for George Spar ling. protessonal at the Brooklawn Country Club. Bridgeport. Sarazen ere a its Sparling as the man who helped most In making him the player he is. It is interesting to note that during the past two years Ciucl has been working under Sparling and during that time he has consciously been Imitating Sara zen 's style in every respect. Ciucl arrlveg in Miami early this winter. Sarazen was there at the time admiring his game, and spent a lot of time working with the young ster. Like Starazen, Cluci has large strong hands. He addresses the ball in the same manner, with the ratne open stance and strikes tne ball hard. And like Sarazen he has a keen liking for the drudgery ol constant practice, a factor that made Gene what he is today ? one of the important factors, that is to nay. Day aTter day Miami so journers found him hitting the ball with the various clubs in his bag and. as a consequence, he made extraordinary scores in the various exhibition matches in which he en gaged In that resort. In one match he had a string of five birdies in a row, phenomlnal go ? f for one of his years, as any golfer will recognize. On the round in question he went out in :J2 and was going foi the record of 67 on the Miami Beach course held by Sarazen. Hut he finished rather poorly on the last three holes, get ting fives. So instead of 67^ he did 70. The amateur professional tourneys have been played this winter at Miami. in two of them Cluci finished second and in one. his own ball of 7 2 was the best ball of Ills side. He hasn't been been above 75 all season and in the tournaments above noted he com peted against Mike Brady. Johnny Rogers, Steve Zappe and other not ed professlonsals. His play won him many friends nt Miami and at the suggestion of Charles Anuis. the veteran Boston golfer, a purse was raised to send him tc* Texas for the open, which will he the second large tournament of his career thus far. His initial major competition was in the na tional open at In wood last year. He had a had first round In the quali fying test, taking an 887. He came back with a fine 73 In the afternoon, but that was too late^ duel's, showing at San Antonio will be followed with great Inter est not alone by his Miami friends but by all who are ever searching the golfing firmament for new con stellations. HICOST GOLFING IS COMING DOWN Signs of Tendency ill This' Direction Seen ill S|#ots Ov er Various I'arts of the Country. n> WALTKIl < \MP (Copvr i?M, I Ml, Br The A<m?) New York. Feb. 18 ? Tho high cost of golfing, about which the writer has spoken frequently of late, is coming down ? In spots. The Oakland llills Club. where the national open will be played this coming summer, built an 18 hole course about six year* ago which cost, including its water sys tem. $75,000. Now the club has bti lit another course, using plans by tii si same architect, which cost i/nly $17,000. exclusive of the water sys tem Assuming this will add about IS.000 to the total, there is a sav ing of about $50,000. And so far a% can be learned, there were no luiiU-r construction problems in the i M c hit -o thai: in (In- new one. .vtioth* r ? xamp'c ** fi.and in the liow.tnitt Coif and Country Club in the same district. This club in stalled a water system, built seven e.itirely new greens, and maintained its Is hole tiiurse durniK 1U-3 at a total cost of $ 1 1.000. This information is from Ralston U6ss. who says that the Detroit . itt>burg Gelt Association is doing rt.in li to bring about reforms that will "carry your gospel of keeping 1 !i? name within tin- means of the man of moderate means."
