It is obvious, after their lucky draw of 1-1 with West Brom wich, that the Arsenal need to reconstruct their attack.

THIS

PROFESSIONAL GOLF NOT UNLIKE BOXING

PRINCELY REWARDS FOR THOSE AT THE TOP ONLY

(By Gooffroy Simpson)

People are fond of telling me that there is no money in pro- fessional golf, but having talked to Henry Cotton yesterday I have an idea that golf is not unlike bexing in one respect.

The strugglers in the garno may have to scratch for a living, but for those on top the rewards are princely. ̈ ̈

Colton ranks as world champion in t golf, even though St. Andrews de- clines to acknowledge such a title, and while I do not profess to know what such eminence produces a year the Income must be considerable.

For Cotton let it out that he is busy preparing a house-warming in his new house, and casually disclosed that the place-built to his own de sign on the borders of his home course at Ashridge-has' cost nearly £10,000,

What some of his brother profes- sionals will say about that is easily guessed. They were shocked when they heard of Cotion's golf shop at Ashridge, which cost four figures, and Is belleved to be the best-equipped in Britoli,

RAISING THE STANDARD

There is much jealousy over Coi- ton and he is frequently criticised, but there is one thing for which he should be applauded by his brother professionals.

Cotton holds high ideals about his profession, and he tells you frankly that while he is lender in the game le means to do all he can to push up the standard. It puzzles him when he is attacked for charging 80 guincas for on exhibition match. "Surdy I am striking a blow for all those who earn a living out of golf when I succeed in raising the payment scule?" he asks. In days not so for Open champion would charge or £10 for a day's exhibition play. Cotton has changed all that by diligently pursuing his belief that a world champion 15 entitled to "cash in" on his title.

the

The time when £3 a week was an average wage for a golf professional is disappearing, and it is men like Cotion who have helped to fashion the new order of things,

I am afraid at times he la mi- understood. For example, he coti- centrates so intensely on the game during a tournament that he does not welcome conversation.

Thus, when Cotton is preparing to ahot and some play

This cams him a reputation for being "self-centred,” but when the day's golf is done. Colton is a most sociable fellow.

HARD WORK

His attitude is that golf for a pro- fessional is just a job" of work, and when a man is at his job he is en- titled to be left alone.

Certainly Cotton's powers of con- centration, his seriousness, and will- ingness for study and practice have raised him to his present position.

He admits he leurned most of his golf from Amerienus, but does not advertise the fact that he toured the States at his own expense and work- cd so hard to master golf that his health suffered,

I should call him self-made rather than self-centred.
