President Spencer Huron as he hands winner Johnny Lakotas
the 1939 State Links Trophy.
3 and 2, in the second 18-hole round Wednesday. Then Kenny
Young, who was hotter than blazes, came along Thursday, and
I beat him in 36 holes 1 up, finishing with a 74 card for 18. Is
Young good? Well, you tell me. Wasn't he the medalist? Could
anybody else around here have beaten him? Well, I did. Next day
I beat the champ [Coria], 3 and 1, and shot a 72-75 score to do
it. If anybody thinks that's a fluke, he's screwy. And today I won
again, didn't I? And beat a guy that was good enough to win the
title three times. Fluke, heck I'm no cheese champion. "
No, he wasn't. Lakotas would also win the Resorters tournament
in Alexandria that summer, qualify for the U.S. Amateur
Public Links tournament four out of the next five years, and,
most importantly, win two more State Public Links championships-in
1937 at Hiawatha and again in 1939 at Meadowbrook.
Along the way, Lakotas became great copy for the newspaper
reporters who were always looking for a colorful athlete
to write about. He lost a playoff for medalist at the 1936 State
Public Links at Keller, and then was eliminated in the quarterfinal
by Fred Stark of Como. But Lakotas was back, better and
more loquacious than ever, the next year at Hiawatha. He shot
152 in the qualifying rounds to miss making medalist by three
shots-just the way he liked it, he professed.

" I'm glad I'm not the medalist, " he said. " Everybody goes
gunning for medalists-and I'd rather beat a medalist than be one. "
In the quarterfinal he got his wish, knocking off medalist Al
Snell of Keller 6 and 5. He then eased by fellow Hilltop member
Don Winge 2 up in the semis. As usual, Lakotas was not at a loss
for words after that close scrape.
" Boy-o-boy-o-boy-o-boy-what a match, " he told Tribune
reporter Greene. " I can beat either Eddie Axtell or Al Priebe for
the championship, though. It's a cinch. Don was a lot tougher
than either of them will be. "
His opponent in the final turned out to be Axtell, who came
from three down against defending champ Priebe by shooting a
34 on the final nine to win 1 up. Axtell seemed to be in top form,
but the old Lakotas confidence proved to be more than empty
bravado. Even though Axtell had won the long-drive competition
at the 1935 U.S. Amateur Public Links, Lakotas was able
to stay close to him off the tee in their 36-hole final match, and
beat him on the greens. Axtell threw a 34 at Lakotas on the first
nine holes of the match, but it was only good for a 1 up lead, as
Lakotas shot 35. By the lunch break, the match was even. Still
