Travers and Ouimet undoubtedly are
ready 10 move along at fast cilp'
Evans is not so certsin-and for TINS
reason. Chicks weakness, as you
sbould know very well, gentle reader
or readers. is on the green. 1t was un-
dcrstood BY a good many that western
Green's we're slower than Eastern
Green's and not as hard TO manipulate
with the putter. You can forget this
IN Al once. The putting greens at De-

~ those in the fully as fast and
fullv as coat-getting as the greens at
Garden CITY at their most slippery
skiddinc stage.
In fact it requires the most sKliiui

will find these greens far harder 70

annie. a ball here tapped with Just a
rifle too much gusto finds no trouble

seven or eight feet beyond the cup.
The rest Of Chicks game is very gooo

handy. But Travers and Ouimet are
also driving we'll, playing their irons

as we'll as they ever did

the wonderful way ne used his putter'
In fact Jerry admitted that ne was
uniting better than he had all season
far better than at Baltusrol, where
he won the open title. He took three
NUTS on but one green, and only one

Warstor next Tuesday will ENJOY one
a. me grandest battles of his career
Tho Jersey champion has been under
y twice and has been under 80 stead
ilv-and under so here Is no IDLE
acbievement. with the course still SOFT
and the keen, chilling winds ripping
in from the lake, which is less than

Warston and Van Week tied with the
sherman brothers, Tom and Sherrl:,
to-dav for the american Golfer
trophy. Each pair returned best ball
e 70 with Ouimet and Hoyt and Evans
md SAWYER two strokes away. 80, II
anv one is to upset one of the big
'bree. Narston and Sawyer are consld-
cred hest bets for the job, with Jesse
Guilford not far back. Fownes and
Rivers. the Pittsburgh veterans, are
playing well. and so are several from
The home club here, Standish and Lee

Regardless Of the play on Saturday
in the rst Of the two qualifying
rounds. where sixty-four are to sur
vive the day. no club and no city ever
offered such hospitality as Detroit and
her country club have offered. what
ever the par is for hospitality, Detroit
is under, with all records smashed by
d dozen strokes.
The course itself is in verey fine
shape. The turf winds away Ike
a huge emerald carpet, and the golfer
who holds to the fairway AID kicks at
a bad lie will have to reach far for an
slibi. II the meanwhile, there will be
another story when the sixty-four IA
vored ones are registered by nightfall.
