There Is an interesting story back
OF the recent winning Of the
North and South amateur golf
championship by young Page fluffy.
Of washington, d. c., who, unlike
the other half-dozen youngsters TAX
ing part in this event, was not
given even an outside chance.
Old Pinehurst golfers smiled
when some one suggested that,
Hufty might beat Frank Newton,
a former titleholder and one who
mas seen ten years or more OF
Pin1hurst golf. ''Newton's expe-
rience will kill him." they argued.
"and If that doesn't do 1t, the
very fact that Hufty knows nothing
about sand green's and the run
fall"
But the 1S-year-old youngster
was the least worried Of the pair
and he disposed of Newton so
easily that the wiseacres figured
it must have been a fluke. But
when he defeated young Dick
Wilson, who also knows Pinehurst
golf, there were some who thought
that he might have chance
against Eugene Romans, the
metropolitan junior champion.
Hufty not only swept Romans
aside, but disposed of Larry ,
Sheriff., Of Tampa, former Flor
Ida State champion. just as
easily. Sheriff. knew when he
faced young Hufty that he
would have no cinch match, as
the pair had met before in the
South.
Now 1t develops that the 50.
