U.S. Professionals In The Balance Runyan's Ranking Of Sam Snead

Results In Minor Outburst

Kowloon-Happy Valley Match

} (By "Birdio")

IF WRITING could show a hoarse voice, these words would be blurred and unreadable, and it is all the result of the foul golfing weather we had on Sunday. On Saturday, in shorts and a sports singlet one perspired; on Sunday, with two swea- ters and a muffler the biting wind still got through and for the first few holes gave one the shivers.

And then it rained in the afternoon.

The annual match between teams selected by the President

and Captain of the Country Club To-day's

Sheungshui, was called off when the rain came down, and as someone had to pay for the din- ner after the match, the scores were reckoned at the time of abandonment and the Presi- dent's side were hosis.

On the singles matches in the morning, however, the Captain's teum had gained a slight lend of 1% points. This is, 1 think, the third year its succession that this match has been abandoned through inin. To some it proves long and disastrous interval before dinner.

PERIODICALLY, the_Ameri-

can professionals voice theiri opinions as to who is the best golfer in their ranks, and recent- ly Paul Runyan started some- thing when he lauded Sam Snend the best golfer who has ever lived.

Two days later the storm broke in the locker room following the New Orleans Open Tournament, and Jimmy Demurel spake for them all. Who, demanded the Texan, was Paul Runyan to say that Snend was the
