MARTIN ENTERS

Another Battle Of the
20 Argonne.

BALTIMORE. Sept. s.-Primed to
the minute, Bob Martin, heavyweight

hostilities In another battle OF the

Another point emphasized by the
American girl, and one that has been
recognized over here for a long time,
Is the greater number of good golfers
In England and Scotland. Just why
such should be the case Is not so
easy Of explanation when 1t is re-
membered that American women
have been playing the game for
practically q quarter Of q century.
To one who has studied the situa-
ton carefully there Is no question
that the young girls In Great Britaih
take more interest In golf than r.
the case over here.
That may be explained partly by
the fact that the American girl has
so many more divertins anusements
Goincident with country club life.
Furthermore, the average club rare
ly goes out of Its way to encourage
the junior members. As one official
Of q well-known organization put 1t,
Our course Is crowded now. The
boys are bad enough, but heaven
help US II the girls should also want
to play" -.
What he meant to convey was that
the lads, all more or less athletic,
were able to Keep moving along AFTER
fashion in the manner expected,
but that the girls. especially those
just taking up the game. would cause
no end Of congestion. As to that,
many club bars women or girls
except at certain times, and 1t is
such a method of restriction that
tends to discourage beginners.
When the British champion and
her sister Edith arrive here shortly
and start preparing for the national
event to be held at Hollywood the
first week in October they will prob
ably find their most formidable OPP
ponents will be included among the
seasoned players. Right now the
outstanding figures here In the East
are Miss Stirling. Mrs. w. A. Gavin
and Mrs. II. Arnold Jackson. all
able to claim two years Of tourna-
mcnt experience.
There Is possibility that one or
two of the younger set like Miss
Glenna Collett and Miss Harriet
Shepard may be heard from, and
there are also few fairly young
players In the middle West, though
judging by results to date the older
stars have little to fear.

Triple Plays

The National League set a rec
ord August 30 by flashing two
triple plays the same day. At
Braves Field the Braves pulled
triple killing the Reds, starting
the play on a ground hit ball. Not
since August 26, 1916, when the
Yankees killed three Brownies, has
q triple play occurred in the ma.
jors that resulted from a ground
hit ball. At the Polo Grounds the
Cubs killed three Giants on Au-

is the first triple at the Polo
Grounds since September IL, 1929,
when the Giants killed three Card

Barnes went to the Pelham bay
On. ~ Country Club from Sunset
Hills. st. Louis. While representing
the Sunset Hills club he gained a
reputation as q careful, sound golfer,
one who, while seldom sensational,
could always be depended upon to
escape bad rounds.
In 1920 Barnes and Hagen were
entrants In the British open at
Deal, Kent. England. George Dun
can won the event with total Of
300. Hagen did not play up to his
standard. but Barnes played q much
stronger game. American hopes
were pinned mainly on Barnes, who
ended the second round tied with
the former champion, Alex Herd, for
second place.
Soundness Appeals.
Barnes attracted considerable at
tention In England at the time be-
cause Of the soundness Of his play.
In the seventy-two. hole test he was
but five strokes back Of first place.
He had every round under so.
He had no bad one, but he failed
to turn In any brilliant round in the
low 7os, "a being his best. As the
conditions were extremely trying, with
a blend Of wind and rain, his four
rounds of 10. ~. II and Is repre-.
sent an even. steady march. a faster
pace than Vardon. Braid. and Tay-
lor could follow. ...
Barnes won the Western open In
1914, 1917 and 1919. He was runner
up In 1920. being tied for second hon.
ors with Harry Hampton and Clarence
Hackney. E...

started his last round eight strokes In
the rule OF Jock Hutchinson. ultimate
winner, fought valiantly and brought
lack a card of ~. which lacked but a
single stroke of leveling Jocks win
ming total.
During the visit Of Ray and Var
don to this country, in 1920, Barnes,
several times mated with Walter
Hagen. aided in the downfall of the
British pair more often than did any
other golfer. In the matches which
were played by Barnes and Hagen
against the British pair the Ameri-
can duo won three and lost two.
In every one Of the matches It was
Barnes steadiness which attracted at
tention and drew from the two star
Englishmen words of praise for the
man whom Vardon called "the worlds
soundest golfer"
Lacks Three Strokes.
In the national open of 1920, which
was won by Edward Ray, Barnes fin.
ished with EOS, three strokes behind
Ray. In tile p. @. A. tourney of that
same yer Barnes was eliminated In
the second round by Clarence Hackney,
s and 4, the worst defeat Barnes ever
met in match play competition. This
defeat was especially surprising since
Barnes had held the title of the asso.
citation since Its birth.
In the 1920 metropolitan open
Barnes tied with Hagen for the title
out lost in the play off. In the
Southern open Of the same year
Barnes was tied for third place with
Clarence Hackney. at soy strokes,
seven behind the winner, ]. Douglas
Edgar. Barnes has twice been runner
up in the Canadian open, gaining that
honor In 1912 and again In 1919.
Barnes Is In great demand through
out the United States and Canada and
his matches against Walter Hagen
have for the past five years attracted
national attention.
