WATSON Tournament Chairman, Royal Canadian fldll Association (Written Especially for AP Newsfeatures) From gas meters to golf money might well be the title of the story of the Jump to professional ranks by Canada's aee amateur golfer, Gerry Kesselring Kesselring. a native of Kith ener, Canada's oldest and largest German settlement, has won just about everything that a simon-pure can win, except the Canadian amateur title. The national crown always has eluded him. The gangling. pipe-smoking stringbean ??? 23 years old ?has the Ontario and Canadian Junior championships, the Ontario Ama teur and Open among his souve nirs. Some of these he has won several times. In Kitchener, hotbed of ama teur golf where 70-shooters grow in clusters, Kesselring began as a cadd; at the Hockaway Club and the Westmount Club and later be came a member of both layouts. He's been working for the local public utilities i n the stockroom and a part-time reader of gas me ters. It's a safe bet that his mind waa more on maahies than on me ters. He has played on both Canadi an teams which have met the Uni ted States In International team matches and at Seattle in 1082 In the American Cup match he bowled over redoutable Hat-vie Ward Jr., then holder of the British Amateur crown. Biggest event of his golf career happened recently when H. W.

When I re tired from tournament competition a little more than a year ago I meant it. I don't play in the summer. I go to baseball games. But when the fall comes around 1 get the urge again. That's why I'm playing exhibitions. And that's why I've lined up some in Europe this wln ' ter. I probably will play as long as I hold my present form. So far , my eyes are holding up pretty . well. I wear glasses, but I take them off when I play. The longest I shots bother me a little. The game has given me a lot. It has been my life. That's an other reason 1 can't quit. I'm 66 and still love the game just as much aS I did as a kid. I fell in love with billiards when I was eight years old. My dad owned the noted hotel at Cornwall, N. Y., near West Point. Besides the rooms, the hotel also had a restaurant, a barber shop and one pocket billiard table. When nobody was at the table 1 began shooting the balls around. I got so I could put five or six balls in the pocket. Then it got so I could drop 10 to 12. H seemed to come natural. Of coune, even though I may not have realized it at the time each shot was practice. This was 1899, when there were no automobiles and people had no place to go. Traveling salesmen used to hit our town a lot and they often stayed overnight because the last train in those days passed Corn wall around 7 or 8 o'clock. I began giving exhibitions for the amusement of the salesman and pretty soon they were telling my dad how good I was and that he should take me to New York to meet the big fellows. Dad also thought I had talent, and he teak me to New York. I had a sidearm stroke more adaptable to billiards and when dad introduced me to Maurice Daly in New York It was one of the things Maurice liked about my wife Helga on the 24-month jaunt with him. Whether 4-year-okl Jun ior gees along or whether he re mains with bis grandparents in Kitchener has yet to be decided. Possessor of what some Ameri can tourney proa have described as a picture swing, Kesselring ought to get in a two-year term on the circuit the one requisite that he lacka, which It experience. KntgM is willing gamble fifteen or twenty thousand Canadian dol laa that tMs experience will enable bis protege to capture the meet sought-after of all golf crown north of the border ? UN Nations I Open Leag off the toe and desdlty with the Irons? it remains to be soon whether old experience will pat the final touch to what Cans ?Ms believe is a potential greot ahot-maker.

Daly took me in hand and at 14 I began meeting the real good players. At 15 I went to Europe and played the famous academies with the top players. Then they began ealling me "The Boy Wonder" at 16 when I won the Young Masters. At IS I went to Paris where I won my first world championship. I won 56 more in the next *5 years. My coming tour will bring back a lot of fond memories. And the thought of meeting Roger Conti, the European champion, presents too much of a challenge for me to turn down. They say he's a wizard. I can't quit now. Here's How TMs It how frrnotri Mlllerditt Wllltr Ho ppt uMr hit two-flnger bridge. The middle finger it need w < mt for the Index (later. Xoppe met this bridge when he tendt the cue tip to the renter ot the cue ball. J clothes he danced in Saturday night. Heard the M. C. Drug store ran out of bromo seltzer. Then Sunday was the perfect day. The golf course was crowded, and you know how it is, we men like to play the game so that we can use the proper words ? de scriptive words that is ? and it sort of cramps our style when the girls are about. However, I prom ised Penny I would play a round with her in the afternoon. But when the time came we were in the middle of a hot four some, ? called her en the tinkle ' and after exchanging the usual pleasantries said, "Honey, yon donl want to play golf with me <lo yoo?" She said, "That's the fastest brush-off I have had In a long thne." So, I'm In Hie dog hoUse again. Heard on the golf course: "Hew clubs?" "Nope." "Sore look pretty." "Thanks." "How's foot game?" "Terrible." "How come?" "Jnst washed my clubs and can't do a thing with 'em." Our pro, Mac McCuiston, was host to 18 visiting pro and amateur golfers Mrmdaf and Tuesday and they, wlffiotrt etceptlon, wtd that we have one of the nicest golf courses I hero is m the state They were especially generous in their praise of the way (fie greens were kept. It sure waa a pleasure to watch these fellaws play. They would wallop that little pill almoit out of sight, not now and then, but every time. I asked one chap how He did it. He juat shrugged and said, "I've been playing golf since I was six." Jut heard several shots, so raised the Venetian HMi and there were two walerfreat char acters trying to Shiot a couple of durks that were swimming at the | end of the pier. Being lousy shots, the lucks got away. Better luck next year, boys. I have been shot tt once in my lifetime and I know how It feels; that terrible instant after the sound and then, the amazement that you weren't hit, and that awful fear of the second shot.
