EXPERIENCE ABROAD
BIG HELP TO BARNES
Playing With the Best of Them in British Championship
X, Added the Missing Link to american
..v ...~ Chanpion's Came
BY SANDY McNIRLICK

Shawnee, Pa. July 22.-Jim Barnes
made a deep impression in the Shawnee
open golf tourney which he won for
the second time with score of 2S7,
six strokes ahead of the field.
His brother pros, veteran golfers all,
who were here, stated continuously that
they did not see how Barnes could be
beaten here this year by his fellow
Americans. They base this partly on the
fact that new confidence has been
born in the cx- Whitemarsh pro. They
believe that his experience abroad will
prove invaluable.
"You always think the tails of the
monkeys somewhere else are q little
longer than those you have seen," was
the way one grizzled pro put it.
"But when you find they're all alike,
there is nothing more to worry about"
Played EN- All
Barnes played his shots with the
Britons, whose native heath is the home
of golf tradition, greatest players In
the world" and nil the rest of it. He
matched his golf with the best of them
and finished fifth. Under. the conditions,
Barnes says to himself, "Im salts
fed"
The critic contingent is satisfied that
that extra experience abroad will add
fbe "missins link" to Barnes'S game.
They admit he has the best shots of any
player in America.
But they have always said of Barnes
that he has not had the punch" to
come through when he is behind. Give
him n good start and no one can catch
him" they said. But let him begin
n slump and he can't break out Of It. ."
They figure now that this will no longer
hold true, that he will go from start
IN finish with new found confidence.
Barnes himself discussed his alleged
weakness to some length in the midst
Of dashing off postcards here last night.
Says Experience Was Valuable
"I never had a feeling that if
started poorly would be bad to thu
end" he said. II go in to play th'
best / can right to the last cup o
the seventy two holes. l think, how
ever, my experience abroad was valu
able. Live and learn is my MOTTO"
Playing with Ray in the final roun'
here yesterday, Barnes was five stroke
nm at the first tee. When they reached
the fifth he had lost four and was onl!
one stroke to the good. but the tall pr,
| only gave tne lneNltupie 'ioNSi oloH"oi'
between his teeth twist and got thos
strokes back. At the finish he hat
added another to the credit side.
That's the difference. said tn
pros. After that bad start he woul
have stayed bad. Now he has ney
note in his game.
Pleased to Run
Barnes was as pleased as ever wit
Shawnee, course he has always ad
mired. "Gee, wish we had weathe
like this on the other side,' he said

after the first inning.
Harvard hit Selleck hard in spots
and picked up run in the second
inning, two more in the sixth and
their last in the eighth. The Yale
pitcher also was wild and his inability
10 locate the plate enabled the Grim
son men to tie the score in the second
inning.
In the eighth, Solleck cut loose a
wild pitch that struck rockingham
on the head and knocked out the
Harvard outhelder. 1t was several
minutes before rockingham revived.
This paved the way for another
Crimson run.
Yale got away 90 a good start when
Murphy cracked the first ball TO CEN
tire for a single. Sawyer sacrificed.
Then Murphy electrified the crowd
by stealing third. Murphy displayed
further heetness by scoring while
FELTON, was tossing out Aldrich.
That was the beginning and the

| FELTON, was invincible. so much so
| that the Blue team got only three
more singles. q
