| ing there is a finer amateur golfer
in the United States.
Robert T. Jones is the amateur
champion. Eight years of struggle
and defeat ended~at Merton last year
in victory over great field. And
Bobby, now that he has won. will be
very, very hard to lick in the anna
teur classic. He has the finest
chance of any of the national
champions to repeat.
Walkers Position insecure.
Cyril walkers path to another
open championship is not so easy.
He must stride to another champion
ship over the forms of Hagen,
Sarazen, Diegel Armour, Farrell,
Hutchinson and others who should
win, but have not for several years.
Walker is a long odds player to re-
peat, and. granted Bobby Jones
Is practicing before the open at
Worcester in June, Bobby should be
a better money shot than the present
open titleholder.
Hagen, Diegel and Farrell. not to
mention the great Macdonald Smith,
should be even better placed to win
the open than the champion. Even
though Cyril was said to be not in
the best of physical condition. it is
pretty hard to laugh off that 17-and-
Florida this past Winter for the un-
official world championship.
And, speaking about the open, it is
surely about ripe time for one of
the crop of youngsters to break
through. Macdonald Smith will be
one of the choices and good one
at that, but Leo Diegel, according
to the pros themselves, played far
and away the best golf of any of
the professional performers in the
South during the Winter He is
going abroad late in April and should
be right for the American open. even
if he does not win the British open,
which is not beyond the bounds of
possibility.
Hagen, winner last year for the
second time of the professional
match play championship, is easily
the outstanding professional match
player, now that Gene SaraZen
seems to have slipped from the high
pinnacle of 1922 and 1928. Hagen
should repeat in the pro match play
event.

WASHINGTON LADIES' LEAGUE.
Standing of Teams.

Hail to the Commercials, the new
champions. Any lingering doubt as
to their rightful claim to the honors
was swept aside Thursday night when
they clashed with the Mount Pleas
ants and captured the odd game after
a great battle before what was prob
ably the largest gallery of the season.
This match settled the issue beyond
question, as the Commercials have
only three more games to play, and
they can lose all and still win.
While 1t can be said that their vic
tory was achieved mainly through the
good bowling of their heavy artil-
lery," Miner, Bradt and Gulli the fact
must not be overlooked that there
were two others who were in there
all the time giving the team the best
they had, and what they may have
lacked in actual bowling skill was off
set by their absolute dependa bility.
Irene Myers and Bubbles" Watts
are justly entitled to a great share
of credit.
Capt. Jessie Smith and her Inter
state Commerce bowlers have the dis
tinction of being the only team to
complete the season on schedule. In
doing so they upheld their reputation
as dependable bowlers. They are not
only a credit to the game but an asset
to the league.

Australia and France are again the
favorites to meet in the interZone
match. With Spain competing in the
American zone for the first time and
England's strength apparently no
greater than that of 1924, France looks
TO be the decided favorite to win in
the European zone play, though
Czechoslovakia showed great strength
last year and is not to be left out of
the reckoning.
France again will have the services
of Rene Lacoste and Henri Cochet and
also Of Jean Borotra, at least in
America, should France reach the in
terzone final. Borotra is in the United
States and it is not known whether he
intends returning to represent his
country in the preliminary play.
Both Cochet and Lacoste are rated
on par with Borotra in the French
ranking, while France also has the
services of Andre Colbert, famous vet
eran who made a comeback recently
in the French covered court cham
pionship, in which he defeated Bo-
ratra and lost TO Lacoste in the final
in five sets. Lacoste played the finest
tennis of his career in this country
last year, defeating both Gerald Pat

In golf champions seldom repeat.
That is automatic, and the history of
amateur and open competitions more
than bears out that statement. The
competition is too keen; there are too
many others today playing the same
brand of golf as the champion, and
in an event where a missed putt may
cost a man his title, no golfer, no
matter how brilliant, can hope to
have more than a long odds chance
to repeat
Jones and Hagen Powerful.
Yet, casting the minds eye back
over the season of 1924 and fore
casting for 1925 ESQ far as it is possi-
BILE to forecast, the uncertainties of
golf competition) there seems con-
siderable doubt that any present day
amateur can oust Bobby Jones from
the amateur throne or that any pro-
fessional has golf enough and brains
enough to cast Walter Hagen out Of
the category of national champions.
Cast out the British open cham
pionship. That is Hagen's pet title,
and 1t would not be at all surprising
to see him repeat, for Hagen's won
derful putting touch carries him fur
ther on the keen and true British
greens Gnan 90 tne WonQer SnOtS
through the green of Duncan or
a HaverS.
Walter makes more mistakes than
any one of 20 great golfers of the
present day, but he has the uncanny
ability to come through with a good
shot that more than compensates for
a missed one. And he is the greatest
golfer of the day 100 yards from the
hole.
Bobby Jones, according to the pro-
fessfonals who watched him perform
in the one tournament he entered in
the South this Winter, is combating
q wicked hook, something to which
Bobby is prone and which takes con-
stant practice to keep out of his long
shots. But Bobby is entered seriously
upon his life work in the real estate
and bond house of Adair and Son in
Atlanta and doubtless has not had the
opportunity to practice he had in the
years he was in school. Any one who
has seen the crushing power and
accuracy of the Jones golf game
