Youthful Players Enjoy
Harmony With Their
Golf-Murphy Makes
Record 298 Card
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

n CLARKE CORKRAN, w. II. Gard
-. ner, 3d. L. H. Canaan and Norman II.
Maxwell have all promised to play in the
| Bala tournament classic to be paraded over
the links there, beginning August 0.
The presence of these brilliant youngsters
In the going will insure lots of speed and
opposition for local players. Alec Coles,
OF Shawnee, will also play, and 3. S. Worth
ington likewise, If he can escape from his
duties as secretary of the Shawnee Country
Club, which is staging an open tourney at
the same time The presence of these
youngsters will not only be guarantee Of
good golf, but will be assurance Of some
thing worth coming miles to hear.
The clubhouse porch harmony will surely
be thing Of beauty.
Caruso and Scott will be shown up for
cheese harmonists in the social hour on
the veranda at Bala after the days golf
Is over. For there's CorlIran with his de-
termined tenor, mellow and highty as the
breezes soughing in the trees.
TremulOus HallOoing
Gardner can carry him bodily over the
jumps with sophranic yodles and halloos
that take the heights like bird unfettered.
The passion of the primeval forest trembles
and sobs through the bursts of song when
these two rock in harmony.
As a skipper guides his craft, so Alec
Coles steades the tuneful strains. Frank
McAdams. barrister-golfer, will be there
like sandbag to give bottom and volume
to the singing,
Director Wilson, John McAvoy and others
will also stamp around in the cellar
It's hard to classify Phil Reilly.
He's been called a barnyard singer and
his voice referred to as gravel" But he is
distinct addition when the firing is heavy.
He adds the plaintive notes.
To Reilly singing is like golf. He slices
frequently to the rough. but makes some
elegant chip shots to the green. He has
d tendency to sing in layers, but fire.
quently breaks from layer to layer without
a break.
What is believed to be the largest golf
score ever built up by one lone golfer is
thought TO have been that turned in by
Daniel Murphy playing in the Boston,
Philadelphia-New York Carpet Trade Golf
Association meet at HaclSensack.
Murphy at the start OF the tourney was
looked on as dark horse" by his friends
when the Handicap Committee carelessly
gave him 80 strokes. As II happened, the
committee might have given him the
swamping bunch of 224 strokes, and still
the Irish marvel would have finished second
to the winner for Murphy turned the course
in 29S strokes

EASILY PROVES SUPERIORITY

hard time in putting them over. Freddy
covered up beautifully stopped most of the
punches with his elbows, and the best,
Leonard could do was TO send in few
punches under the shoulder blow similar
to the kidney punch, which is barred IL
Philadelphia. Those wallops, however, az
little damage.
The Fifth Round "a
Benny's best round was the fifth, wh'
he landed two hard rights to the bodyl
which slowed up Welsh considerably. The
boxers were sparring in the center of the
ring, when Leonard feinted with his left
to the head and drove home right under
the heart. Freddy was stopped, and be-
fore he recovered another punch was sent
to the same spot. This gave Benny more
confidence and he tried hard for a Knockout
but 1t was near the end of the round an5
the bell temporarily halted hosttlities.
Then Il was that Welsh pulled his bid
surprise Instead of taking 1t easy and
"tin canning" as he was wont to do In the
past, he rushed to the center OF the ring
at the beginning of the sixth and fought
harder than before. He swept Benny OF
his feet and drew a prolonged hearty
cheer from the crowd when he rocked the
challenger with hard overland swing TO
the jaw and backed him against the ropes
with a shower of lefts and rights. This
marked the end of Leonard's chances for
victory, for he grew worried and lost most
OF his effectiveness 81
From then on Welsh was the favorite OK
the crowd. Spurred on by its cheers, the
champion performed like champion and
simply outclassed his younger rival until
the final bell. "
Leonard Served Well
Somebody once remarked that Youth
must be served" Freddy agreed with him.
for he served his youthful rival with the
choicest assortment of jabs, hooks and
swings that has been seen for many
day. All Benny could see was shower OF
gloves, and he could not avoid them. He
left the ring in fairly good shape, but it
only was because Welsh is not hard hit
ter IL Freddy had the punch last night
there is no doubt that he would have fat
tened the challenger in one of the later
rounds.
1t is hard to believe that Welsh is a
regular fighter and can deliver the goods
like a champion, but such is the case. He
came through with the goods last night
and deserves the plaudts of the multi
tude.
We might try to dope It out that Leon
ard Is not so good rs he has been adver-
tised but the dope would not hold. Benny
Is one of the best llghtweights in the
world, but Freddy is the BEST.

ATow comes Louis Martucci, the Essex
IN County professional, to show that
| man can even lose an arm and still hold his
own with the best, not as moderate
player. but as one good enough to go out in
36 and come back In 32 for spicy 6S!
Which Is just what Louis did at the recent
professional tournament
We watched Martucci at play over Van
Cortlandt and his game was almost beyond
believing. He has powerful right forearm
| and with this is able to get fine distance by
whipping the club through at top speed,
taking a full wallop at the sphere
The thirteenth hole at Van Cortlandt Is
200 yards, uphill, with small green banked
to the right. Good distance and fine accuracy
are both required to get there and stay
there. Yet Martucci three times in success
sion plunked his drive on the green. We
saw him make an even more remarkable
shot than this At the next hole he drove
22O yards, but hooked his tee shot into the
heavy rough-rough at least 10 inches high
and excessively thick. This left him pitch
of 80 yards TO the green. Taking heavy
niblict he tore through the thick grass and
not only got the ball out. but lifted it high
into the air, dropping 1t on the green only
eight feet from the pin, where he trimmed
the cup for 81
One Handed Putting
Onehanded putting isn't so hard to un.
derstand. Any ono who has played golf has
frequently tapped the ball into the cup
from three or four feet away and found the
shot a simple one. We wouldn't be sur
prised to see a man adopt this one-handed
style and improve his putting-on short
puts, anyway--for there would be only one
hand to control. Martucci is certainly an
exceptionally good putter, as he hits the
ball firmly and always gives 1t a chance.
'I believe this golf of Martuccis ex-
plodes the old theory" says Jerry Travers,
that the main stroke in golf is delivered
with the left arm. We have all been told
that, but 1 doubt 1t now very much. Mar
tucci could never get anything like the
distance he does with left-hand back
handed swing. 1 believe the main punch In
golf comes from the right wrist and right
forearm and that the left hand is the guild
ing instrument 1 don't believe any long
driving golfer such as Gullford or Bob
Gardner could get the terrific distance they
make by any back left-handed stroke"
Any one who watches Martucci play
would certainly Judge at once that golf was
a riKht-handed game, as this pro gets re-
suits with such apparent ease, being able
to play any shot called for with no left
arm to work with.
The Right Hand Punch
We know Of another golfer who had his
left hand badly cut. When he started out
TO play again the wounded hand was still
weak and tender. so that he was barely
able TO put 1t on the club. In fact, he
hand in gripping, playing practically an en-
tire right hand shot. Much TO his surprise,
he was able TO get about as long a ball as

he had ever gotten with both hands In

There are probably in this country now
more than 100000 golfers who have used
two hands and two good arms in a vain
endeavor to break an So They have spent
years at the game with two hands, stih
making from SIS to 125 swings to the round
When these sit down and ponder on the
fact that Martuccl, with one hand, was able
to breeze along for 6S, there must be .
strong temptation on the part of many not
to have the left arm cut off possibly, but
to discard 1t in the golf stroke for Will 1.
to observe just what will take place. A
good many of these would certainly do no
worse. And they would very likely nnd that
their short game, at least, might be i'm

arises from having to control two hands In

TO let the club head do more of the work,
and this is something that most golfers
don't do.

this, too, is something new-and after
the first two rounds made Benny look as
sad "a the guy who tries to sell cushions
at Shibe Park in the ninth inning.
There have been many startling surprises

half chance before the fracas began and
frantic sportsmen with real money sticking
out all over them were begging the come

of a 2 u to bet. Benny was the favorite,
and some of his hackers went so far as to
wager that he would win by knockout.
Easy for Welsh
1t seems strange, but after the first two
rounds Leonard did not have a chance. He
tried hard, however, but his blows either
were cleverly blocked or they missed en-
tirely. Benny started out like a winner
and used his left jab with telling effect
He peppered Freddys face throughout the

was rushing, slugging, clever battler, who
kept boring In and forcing the fighting from
