Maurice Smith the possibility of an All Winnipeg Canadian Amateur Golf final had Divot enthusiasts around these parts in a lather thursday. The telephones in the sports office did t Stop ringing All morning As fans inquired Aslo How Boes and Widlaski were doing. It s a Long Way from Here to Saint John but we doubt if Golf interest has Ever been higher in Winnipeg than it has been during the past few Days. It was rather unfortunate that our two boys failed to survive thursday s play but in defeat they have done exceedingly Well. Advancing to the eights of the Canadian Amateur was no mean achievement. To get that far both Boes and Widlaski had to sideline some Good golfers. T when the Canadian ratings Are in sued this the Manitoba pair will no doubt rank quite highly. And Well they should. There Are few better shot Smiths in the Dominion than Boes while Widlaski is coming along so fast that before Long they la be calling it an upset when he s beaten. Probably no Man in the City is More pleased Over the showing of Manitoba golfers than or. Pat Gallagher Secretary of the . There have been Many times in the past when we did t see Eye to Eye with the Way the doctor runs and we think that is the Correct word Golf in Manitoba and there will probably be Many in the future but there is no denying that he works pretty hard for the game. Certainly the remuneration he receives does not make up for the Money loses when away irom his office operating . Tournaments. In any event. Or. Pal gave us the horse laugh yesterday. It seems he happened to gel hold of a new Brunswick newspaper and read therein that the rather poor showing of Vancouver s Walt Mcelroy in the Amateur was mainly due to the that he suffered air sickness. If you will recall we wrote in this column a couple of weeks ago that we thought the Manitoba team should have made the trip by air instead of rail because the time that would have been saved. We still have the same opinion but we must admit would t have looked so Good had they gone by plane Anc then one or iwo come up with air sickness. Still it did t bother Bill Mawhinney and to has t done too badly. To the game is g Ohto on in Carljr airy where they Are wondering who the stampedes fifth e r i c h n import will lie.
