Annie Oakley Is” Hot”Putter
Used In Tourney By Wild Bill
By DILLON GRAHAM
P1NEHUR8T, Nov. 20.—An
nie Oakley was shooting for Wild
Bill Behlhorn In the Professional
Golfers’ championship today.
Annie is a putter that resembles
a croquet mallet. Bill got it a few
days ago and has been "hot” ever
since.
"1 call it Annie Oakley because
it’s a sure shot,” explained Mehlhorn,
known among golfers as Wild Bill, j
because of his explosions after poor'
shots.
"Annie Oakley may have been a
great rifle shot in her day," con
cedes Bill, "But she didn’t have
anything on my Annie.
"Why, I cant keep the ball out
of the cup. I can't even lay ’em
stiff, they all run in,” he grinned.
"He certainly had the range
against me," observed Big Ed Dud
ley. “He's hitting well with all his
clubs. Bill's a threat against any of
the boys,” Dudley lost to Mehlhorn
yesterday, 6 and 4.
"The trouble with me Is that Ij
enow too many golf strokes," Mehl
10m once said. "When I get Into a
touph spot I can't decide which to
use, and If the one I decide on
Joesnt come off. I’m cussing my-|
self for not having taken the other.”
But he's been choosing the right!
jnes this week.
The old man of the tournament
it 38. Mehlhorn—who wears a wlde
orimmed grey cowboy sombrero to
tarry out the wild west scheme—,
[aced young Jimmy Hines today in
he 36-hole quarter-finals of the
Professionals’ match play cham
pionship over Plnehurt’s rugged No.
! layout.
Youthful Jimmy likely had no
thoughts of golf back In 1925 when
Mehlhorn bowed to Walter Hagen In
he finals of this tournament.
Willie Coggln. the San Bruno,
Calif., ace, probably was still see
ing ghosts today—the Joplin Ohost,

Proposed Fight
Is Gate Builder
NEW YOR* Nov. 30.—<>P)-Be-'
hind all the negotiations for the :
Jim Braddock-Joe Louis light in
Atlantic City in February is thej
promoters’ belief it offers a prime i
buildup for a million-dollar gate in
a title match next summer.
Mike Jacobs, who will co-promote
the proposed 12 round no decision
fight with Herman Taylor of Phi
ladelphia and possibly Madison
Square Garden, if it strings along,
voiced that conviction today as he
pushed ahead with efforts to iron
out details still in the way.
Such a match would have Max
Schmellng meeting the winner of
the Shore City clash, Jacobs ex
plained. If Louis should knock out
paddock, he would be paired for a
return go with the German heavy
weight who belted him out in 12
rounds this year. If Brad dock fin
ishes convincingly in front of the
Detroit Brown Bomber, a fight be
tween the champion and his al
ready-designated number one chal
lenger would draw a far larger'
crowd.
