Musical Golf

One of Sport's most hallowed traditions is graveyard quiet when golfers are shooting. Gene Sarazen thinks it is nonsense.

To prove that noise no more hampers a golfer than it does a baseballer or prize fighter, the onetime U. S. & British Open golf champion got three other golfers--Fellow Professional Jimmy Demaret, Amateurs Gene Tunney and Babe Ruth--to join him last week in an exhibition match (for charity) at the Shorehaven Golf Club near Norwalk, Conn.

With Fred Waring's noisiest musicians tooting & trumpeting at tee & green, with 5,000 spectators chattering, cheering and rattling the putter, Demaret & Ruth defeated Sarazen & Tunney, 2 & 1. Demaret shot a par 72, Sarazen 73, Ruth and Tunney 82 each. The gallery voted it more fun than a circus.
