The San Francisco Examiner from San Francisco, California (2024)

THE SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER: WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1937 RAINBOW CALLS TO MONTAGUE Pots and Pots of Gold Await' 'Sphinx of Links' This is the third and final chapter of the story of John Montague, the massive mystery man and the marvel of the golf course, who for seven years has amazed the fascinated Hollywood. By JAMES LEE (Copyright, 1937, by Universal Service and Los Angeles Examiner) HOLLYWOOD, July Montague may America's wealthiest athlete. Regardless of the outcome Hollywood's Paul Bunyan is for the future. When, as he hopes, he clears up the New York State indictment charging him, under his true name, La Verne Moore, with participation in a roadhouse holdup seven years ago, he can start amassing the fortune that awaits him. And even if there is, due to the exigencies of the law, a delay, Montague still will be able to take the path of fame and gold.

For his career as a "Mystery Man" is over. "SPHINX OF LINKS" And he can begin cashing in on his amazing strength, his miraculous golfing prowess, his virile good looks, and the legend that has grown from his seven-year stay in Hollywood. Whenever Monty says the word, he can sign for: Golf exhibitions with celebrated professionals. Motion picture work. Tournament play, to prove his pals' contention that he is the world's greatest golfer.

And personal appearances before the lions desirous of seeing the "Sphinx of the Links" in the flesh. He is backed by a legion of notables. Among them are Bing Crosby, Guy Kibbee, Gene Tunney, Oliver Hardy, George Von Elm, and others. HEARING JULY 26. Montague is anxious to get rapid action on the New York matter.

His Hollywood friends are aiding him in his fight to ex radition. The case will escape come to a head July 26, when the hearing is he.1. Now that his mask of mystery has been dropped, some of his closest friends expect that the taciturn marvel will marry. His name has been linked with that of Mrs. Esther Plunkett, wealthy and beautiful Beverly Hills widow.

But the habit of mystery has become so much a part of Monty's makeup during his years in Hollywood that he still is unwilling to comment on that pleasant possibility. He is, he says, extremely desirous of "clearing up" the New York -in which he is accused of being one of four men who on August 5, 1930, held up the Kin Hanna roadhouse at Jay, N. and robbed the proprietor of $700. "BING" and "BABE." He says: 'Tm anxious to get back home and clean off the slate. I'd like to see the family and my friends back in Syracuse.

But Hollywood will always be my home. If it's within my power, I want to stay here with of his present difficulties, Bing and Babe Hardy and Guy Kibbee and other guys who have been so swell to me." The "folks back home" are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Moore, his two sisters, and his brother, Harold. The latter is a church organist and golf professional.

It was Harold who aroused Monty's interest in golf. But Harold never was able to beat him. And even before he left Syracuse, dropped the La Verne Moore identity, drifted into Hollywood and became John Montague, Monty was regarded as a golfing phenomenon. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. Ruminating on what mighthave-been, Montague remarked: "I had a tryout with the Boston Braves, and I could have been a big league pitcher.

"I could have gone to college and played football. "I could have become a professional fighter or wrestler. "But I'm glad I came to Hollywood and stuck to golf, and things turned out the way they did, for I've found out one important thing, and that is that there's nothing which will alienate real friends." With the barriers removed now, and no longer forced to dodge publicity, Montague wants to "go to When he does, it will be a field day for whoever handies his exploitation. Where else can you find a man who can play golf better with a rake, or shovel, and a baseball bat than most players can with a full set of clubs? FILM CAREER. Where else can you find a man who never saw a golf course he couldn't par, a foe he couldn't whip in a fair fight, or a friend who didn't idolize him? Monty still is enigmatic about the possibility of a screen career, but at Lakeside Golf Club, his headquarters, producer pals of the "mystery marvel" are anxious to sign him up.

Nearly 6 feet tall, weighing 215 pounds without an ounce. of superfluous flesh, handsome, curlyhaired, blue-eyed, deep-voiced, he is, they say, a "natural" for the films. There's a chance that the "Paul Bunyan of the fairways" will be replaced by of the movies." But whatever he does, Montague, by his exploits on the golf course, his demonstrations of super strength and his easy ingress into Hollywood's most exclusive circles, already has contributed an intriguing chapter to the lighter side of modern history. And, take it from him: "I'm not through yet. In fact, I've just started." Acid Burned Wife Refuses to Prosecute SHE ASSERTS; POLICE DISBELIEVE HER After ten weeks of torture, Mrs.

Agatha Cresci yesterday was faced by the husband whom police charge threw acid over her chest and arms. "I don't want him prosecuted," said Mrs. Cresci from the San Francisco Hospital bed where she has suffered agonizing pain since May 5. She lay under a metal shield. Her horribly burned body and arms could not bear the weight of blankets.

"It was an accident," said Mrs. Cresci. INDICTMENT CONSIDERED. Convinced that it was not an accident, Assistant District torney Paul Madden said he was considering asking. the Grand Jury to indict Vincent Cresci, 32, of 2222 Larkin street.

Cresci, arrested Monday after long police search, faced his wife during a strange hospital room session of Judge Thomas Pendergast's municipal court. From his wife Cresci won possible respite from prosecution, out no sign of forgiveness. When Cresci appeared before fudge Pendergast yesterday norning, John E. Megna stepped CAHILL RAPS M'SHEEHY, UHL TRANSIT PLANS: Market St. Purchase and Single Lane Bus Idea Not Practical, Says Utilities Manager Surface bus lines simply will not solve San Francisco's rapid transit problem.

Utilities Manager E. G. Cahill sent that message yesterday to two members of the Board of Supervisors that have beer, questioning the feasibility of Cahill's 000,000 subway scheme. PURCHASE HIT. In a letter to Supervisor James B.

McSheehy, Cahill dismissed possibility of purchasing Market Street Railways for $5,000,000 or any like figure by recalling the State Railroad Commission's evaluation of $24,000,000, placed on the properties during the recent hearings that resulted in awards of fare increases to the company. Cahill added: "Even though the company could be purchased for 000, $15,000,000 would not purchase enough buses, plus necessary machine shop and housing facilities, to render the same service the Market Street Railway Company's cars are giving now." REPLIES TO UHL. "Writing to Supervisor Adolph Uhl, Cahill took exception to the latter's recent argument that "London uses buses, so why can't San Francisco?" The utilities head wrote that, when a strike took buses out of service in London during the recent coronation week the only reaction was a welcome relief from traffic congestion. Cahill declared that at the same time subways carried 20,000,000 passengers during the week. Anyway, buses in London are double deckers, and experience has proved that San Franciscans do not like double deckers, he added.

Then a further argument: "A subway can be depended upon to carry four times as many passengers as a surface car line, and more than ten times as many passengers as a single lane of buses." Women's Right to Work Periled, Is Warning ATLANTIC CITY (N. July Gordon Holmes, British financier, said today employment officials throughout the world were anxious to join with certain European dictatorships in a movement to send women back into the home to wash dishes and make beds. "All the world," she told the National Federation of Business and Professional Women, "is today watching the gency legislation, which was passed during the crisis, being transformed into permanent restrictions against women. ARE ENVIOUS. "Almost every employment minister in the world looks with envy upon those European countries which solved their labor problems with comparative ease by sending women back to the home.

"American women may think they are safe, but they must remember that just across the border, in the neighbor country so friendly to our own, there are women without votes and defenseless against discriminations." She didn't name the country, but said the men in it had power "to recommend that women be no longer employed, or employed only when they can produce a certificate showing that no man can support them." Miss Holmes urged women's organization in the United States to support the International Federation of Business and sional Women in a fight against back-to-the-home propaganda. WORK FOR MEN. The women already had been told by Dr. Robert Hoppock, assistant director of the National Occupational Conference, that there was no good reason why women should have to stay home. "Marriage no longer means permanent removal from the employment market," said he.

"There is no sound psychological reason why women should cook meals, wash dishes, launder clothes and clean house. Housework more logically belongs to men, since it frequently involves physical strain which men are better able to endure."

S. F. Closes Purse To Communists San Francisco is definitely not extending the open hand of hospitality to Communists. City Administrative Officer A. J.

Cleary made that plain yesterday when representatives of the Workers' Alliance of California called on him with a request that the city provide food and lodging for some 300 of its members planning a protest march on San Francisco July 26. Subject of the protest will be recent curtailments in Works Progress Administration payrolls. A similar request, addressed to the Supervisors by E. M. O'Donnell, State secretary of the organization, was referred to Cleary through the Mayor's office.

Cleary sent the delegation away with the explanation that "certain investigations were necessary" before the request might be answered. Later, he explained: "If these people are worthy workmen gathering here to protest peacefully what they believe to be a wrong, that is one thing. Under those circ*mstances the city might help them. But if they are under Communistic domination, gathering here only to foment social strife, that is another thing. San Francisco's purse strings will be closed."
