Turf enthusiasts heard sad news last week. On top of the bickering between Miami's two tracks (TIME, Dec. 21) and the announcement last week that Maryland bettors had wagered only $46.618,249 in 1931 ($1,218.427 less than the year before), came word that the Agua Caliente Jockey Club had suspended its meeting till Jan. 1, saw little chance of continuing thereafter...
...winter golf circuit starts at San Francisco, moves down the coast to Pasadena and Agua Caliente for the richest ($15,000) tournament in the world. Then it jumps to Florida for Open tournaments at Belleair.

A few months later, describing himself as a "business man golfer" he set about playing against professionals for money prizes, made a good business of it by tying John Golden in the $25,000 Agua Caliente Open. Five years ago he beat Bobby Jones in the finals of the Amateur. He might have been a favorite at Inverness except that his right thumb, badly pinched in the door of an automobile, had been protected by an aluminum cast until the day before the tournament started...
