RYDER CUP FINANCE
It is startling, but true, that the Professional Golfers' Association were still £800 down on their Ryder Cup match expenses early in July. "And if the money is-not forthcoming, then the match is 'off,'" says an English writer. "It is to be played on the Ridgewood course, New Jersey, on September 28 and 29, and the estimated cost of the trip is £3000. A few months ago the fund was as much as £ 1200 short/ and yesterday Commander R. C. T. Roe, the P.G.A. secretary, admitted that 'we want all the money we can. get, large or small.' You would think that these Ryder Cup matches in the States, with all the ballyhoo they get, would keep the treasurer up all night counting the takings. But it isn't so. What is left over after runnings costs have been met is retained by the Americans. - The British team get nothing."
