DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
* by ROBERT E. HARLOW
Figures recently released by the United States Golf Association
are worthy of some study by those interested in selling America on
the value of golf, particularly amateur golf. The figures indicate
that the U. S. G* A. needs to put some professional promotion behind
the build up for the national amateur championship.
The national amateur was played in Chicago last September
and drew a gate of $3,654.00, a new low since the days when gate
money has been charged for this event. The national women’s cham
pionship, played in Connecticut, did $3,525.00, only $120 less than
the amateur.
An interesting comparison in connection with the poor showing
made by the national amateur in Chicago this summer is provided
by the figures for admissions for the 1938 women’s national, which
was played in Chicago, at a club within a mile of the location of the
1939 amateur. In 1938, the women’s in Chicago- drew better than j
$6,000 in gate money. . |

Your correspondent was en
gaged in a game of hearts last

the Tin Whistle match were be
ing posted, and failed to obtain a
detailed story of the great victory

competition. These gentlemen
returned a card of 31-34—65, took
a 3 stroke penalty for playing
number three course for a total
of 68, which was good enough to
win.
Last night, after some effort,
Dr. Medlin was located and re
ported on the incidents of the
winning round.
The telephone1 conversation fol
lows: '
Reporter: Is that Dr. Medlin?
Voice: Yes Sir, what can I do
for you ?

it?
Dr. Medlin: I’m just good, I
guess. .f
Reporter: How about Mr. Farr?
Dr. Medlin: He was good, too.
Reporter: Any highlights?
Dr. Medlin: W^ used our
strokes to advantage. I think
we divided the work very well.
We were out in 31 and back in

Reporter: That was something.
Can you call the hole by hole* de
