New-York tribune., 1922-07-06


However. it is interesting to scan the;
list and to pick out the home-bred
possibilities. There are twenty-five
such players, including the amateurs
who, it seems to us, have at least an
outside chance, and some of these, as
Walter Hagen. Chick Evans and
Bobby Jones, are likely to Gnisk we'll
up in the list.
1t is true that, although several
home breds, Mike Brady, Tommy Ker-
rigan, Jack Burke, Leo Diegel and
others, have been knocking at the door
ever since they have come into promi-
nence, more of these excepting Walter
since the days of Johnny McDermott.
Our amateurs have acted as the life
savers in this respect.
But of late several youngsters having
been coming along SO rapidly we feel
the belief is warranted that Hagen will
soon be receiving able support in q
very material manner. One young
man whom we fancy very much is
John Farrell, Quaker Ridge club pro-
fessional. SO far as we are able to
discern he has everything champion
should possess. He has the game
every part of it-and a thing Of beauty
1t is, too
Farrell Has Shots and Power
He has power combined with the
shots. He has an ideal temperament,
quiet confidence that betokens success.
| He is a sensible young man, not easily J
ruffled, and learned in the ways and
wiles Of this game of golf. He has
! ,lo,y
cent years, or since his entry, and we
believe he is about due to step out and
take his place among those of the top
! rank
Then ther is Gene Sarazcn. Now,
there is host of men such as Tom
! Mcnamara, who ought to know a golfer
, If anybody should, who declare this
| little fellow will reach the top some
day soon just as sure as the sun will
rise. Sarazen won many friends and
admirers in the South. last year by his
wonderful performances in most Of the
Dixie tournam ents, including the daz-
zling victory at New Orleans against q
grand field.
The Pittsburgh star, although not as
stalwart as Farrell is quite as rugged,
and possesses a strong pair of wrists
and hands, coupled with stout heart.
| He is an aggressive lad, imbued with
all Of the confidence of Hagen or q
McDern.ott, and what is more he has
a fine, sound, compact swing that is
likely to carry him to the champion
ship in the not too distant future.
Then there is Eddie Loos, as grace
full golfer as ever played the game,
boy who is now driving up with the
best OF them. He seems about due.
So does Leo DieCel, the Detroit flash,
who finished in tie for second place
one stroke behind Ted Ray two~ years
ago.
Many Other Possibilities
Jack Burke, Tommy Kerrigan and
his younger brother George, George
Mclean, Mike Brady, John Golden and
Thomas Harmon, are all dashing links
men who have shown enough on &C.
casion to give one the idea that one
of these days they will set dizzy pace
and hold it to the bitter end AS Long
jim Barnes so we'll says: "It is the
third round that tells the story Let
a man STAY with them in this round
and he is almost certain to be around
the top"
We can name a supplementary list
George Bowden, Mortie Dutra, of Cali
fornia Otto Hackbarth, Marty
French, who has been seriously III
this spring and it is not likely to do
himself justice; Charlie Hofner, Fred
Canausa and Frank Mcnamara And
thus far we have not named "Chick"
Evans, Bobby Jones, Jesse Guilford
and Dave Heron. Surely, one of these
twenty-five should be fighting with the
leaders in this next championship
which starts Monday
