STANN latsWip KncfgMg Oooooh-Day for the Autograph Hounds Probably the first toumairient at which the genuine, bug-bitten golf fan* were outnumbered turned out to be one of the bigger and more democratic social events of the season. Mingling with Secre- tary of the Navy Porrestal, Gens. Eisenhower, Grove and Bradley, Admiral Nlmitz, Senator Taft and Attorney Gen- eral Clark, among others, were upward of 7,000 other guests of the Columbia Country Club, com- posed chiefly of autograph hounds and camera fiends. And who do you suppose most of the guests came to see? Der Bingle. Harry Lillis Crosby. As far as the people were concerned Bing was the biggest celebrity in the Celebrities Tournament. Bing Crosby is owner of a major league baseball team and there were two other baseball owners on hand, Clark Griffith and Del Webb. But neither owns a set of pipes like Crosby. That was the difference. That was the difference between Bing and Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Bobby PMaeb BUnn Jones, Gene Sarazen, Babe Didrikson and even Baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler, a well-known tenor. It was the star-gazer’s dream come true. It was manna from Heaven for the camera shop*, whose cupboards must be empty of film. It was Oooooh-Day for the bobby soxers and autograph hounds. And for the comparatively small number of old-time golf fans the glorious pages of time were turned back when Jones, Sarazen, Bobby Cruick- shank and Walter Hagen played in the same foursome.
