ARMOUR'S STRONG GOLF
TELLS AGAINST BRITONS

Tommy Armour, Congressional
Country Club professional, now en-
joying his best golf form of the sea-
son, looms as one of the most potent
threats to win the national open
championship which begins tomorrow
at Oakmont, on the strength of his
showing in the 36-hole exhibition
match at Congressional yesterday in
which he and Bobby Cruickshank de-
feated the famed British pair. George
Duncan and Aubrey Boomer, 8 and 2.
Armour romped twice around the
lengthy, Congressional layout in l4O
strokes, SCATTERING the course record
with a scintillating IS over the morn
ing half of the match and scoring a
~ in the afternoon to set a new &c.
hole record for the course. His score
Of 40 was 6 under par, 5 under in the
morning and l under the mythical
| figure in the afternoon. His partner
-Cruickshank-was around in 142,
made up Of a 20 over the morning
route and 72 in the afternoon. Short
puts were conceded all the. players,
so the figures are approximate, but
only the really short puts were given:
| Four men competing for purse OF

All four of the contestants left
Washington at midnight for Pitts
burgh where they are practicing to-
| day for the open, with Armour.
| Cruickshank and Boomer installed
among the favorites to win.
Duncan was a disappointment, and
| failed to play his true game in yes
terday's exhibition, the bulk of the
load falling on the capable shoulders
| of Boomer. The latter, tall, rosy
| checked, sunburned man under 80
years of age, lived up to his advance
notices, playing the best ball Of
Armour and Cruickshank for part of
| the afternoon engagement, and crack

where he missed a two-foot putt for a
| half, and let Armour and Cruickshank
| slip into q two-hole lead, which they
We're only too quick to push into the
victorious margin.
| A taste Of what was in store for the
visiting British pair came on the first
hole of the match, the lengthy 633-
yard layout that awes most strangers
to Congressional. Here both Armour
and Cruickshank scored eagle As

Then watch the RICH: elbow and see
to it that it continues to rest lightly
against the right hip as the back
swing is started-that is, don't let it
shove back and around your right
side.
OF course, in the drag-back the
hands start back ahead of the club
head--that it, with the clubhead drag
ging behind. This continues until the
clubhead is considerably back from
the ball or until q natural, gentle pull
urges the body to begin turning the
club. AT this point-and with the right
elbow held to its place-you lift the
arms directly upward and also break
the club upward with the wrists.
Gather the spring of the club at the
top, and then return it to the ball.
A few practice swings will reveal
the right mechanics of this, and you
add to it only the constant precaution
to take lots Of time, especially at the
take off for the back swing. Get
rhythm into the action there. The
whole action is slower all the way
through until the club gets back to
the ball, and there it is faster and
hits much harder because of the whip
cracker effect.
And as I mentioned, it doesn't loo
half as awkward as you may think it
does. In fact, a fine drag-back swing
is the best looking of swings.

LINKS AT 0AKMONT
LINED WITH HAZARDS
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, June 13.-Officials
of the Oakmont Country Club, led by
the well known w. c. Fownes, jr.,
added a number of hazards to the al.
ready difficult course for the national
open championship which starts to-
morrow. Some of the shorter holes
were heightened by moving green's or
tees. Traps and bunkers were added.
The sixteenth hole was reconstruct
ed entirely. After it was built, Fownes
and his aids decided it needed a few
more hazards, so they put a bunker
in the middle of the fairway and an
other to the left Of the green, to catch
tee shots and pulled drives. The hole
is all carry. To add to the woes of the
golfer, there is an almost constant
cross-course Of wind from the river.
A new bunker was added to No. is
to catch pulled second shots.
While experts agree that Oakmont
is about the most difficult course in
the world, with its scores of hazards
on all sides, and not single breath
ing spell for the player from Tee 1 to
Green IS, they pick out a few spots
on the links as undoubtedly the most
hazardous.
On dog-leg four, they point to the
fact that most golfers, spurning the
straightaway, take a shot in the dark
over hill. Bobby Jones, time and
again took the short cut only to land
in sand traps, and. while the pits
meant little or nothing to Jones, they
spell ruin for most golfers.
No. 6 is another heartbreaker. It's
tee to green drive. Unfortunates
find themselves hopelessly mired in a
hollow of heavy rough.
No. 8 has the biggest trap in Amer.
lea, known as the Sahara" 1t is
100 yards long and 25 feet wide, and
holds $50 tons of sand.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-06-13

In one Of the rounds at Inwood,
during the first open championship
Bobby Jones won, he was paired
with Walter Hagen. The tenth hole
was a dogleg affair breaking to the
left, something over 800 yards In
length, a punch bowl green open
from the 'front.', but flanked on its
two sides and rear by high mounds.
Jones elected to drive over the
trees-a long carry that gave him
an easy opening to the green.
Hagen evidently tried to hook
around them to obtain like open
ing. But his hook failed to register
and his long shot came to rest
some SO yards to the right or the
green and well off the fairway In
rough ground from which the sod
had been removed.
Hagen played a magnificent shot,
a high approach that fell on the
narrow green and held it. He and
Bobby halved the hole. l never Will
forget that recovery. They had
told me for years that Hagen was
master at recovering from trouble.
Now / know it. Walter used
mashie- niblick and picked the ball
I'D clean. Face was wide open 10
give it the necessary loft and bite.
1t takes accurate manipulation 10
pick a ball as clean as that one was
struck, especially off bare ground.
Hagen can do it about every time.

RY LAWRENCE PERRY.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 49,
Apart from his genius in medal play
and his knowledge Of the Oakmont
links where he has been very sue
cessful, the chances of Bobby Jones
to repeat in the national open are
highly regarded for quite another
reason.
This reason relates to finance. If
Bobby wins he gains no stake, and
by the same process of logic If he
losses he is out nothing. He Is an
amateur. His stake is fame. his re-
ward a sporting satisfaction in a
game we'll played.
And that is all. He has no lure of
a money interest, the capitalization
Of success in the open which Is so
important to pro and means nothing
to a simon pure.
Just how much of an advantage
this is to Jones in terms of competi-
ton may not, of course, be said, but
there is not the slightest doubt that
it is extremely important. It Is, in

deed, so significant as to verge upon

1t is a curious fact that OF the two
American pros who are most fire.
quently mentioned a's likely candi-
dates for titular honors both have in
the past been regarded as sagging
mentally under unfortunate breaks
which have kept them from winning
| important honors, while at the same
| time both were technically qualified to
win from the best players in the
world.
Farrell Pleasing Youth.
They are Johnny Farrell and Bobby
| Cruickshank.
Farrell is q pleasing youth, the lean
sensitive type of lad, with swarthy
face, brilliant eyes and long dark
hair; he might well, so far as appear
ance goes, be a poet rather than a
professional golfer.
Johnny has had his share of mis-
| fortune and his misadventures were
regarded as having affected the mettle
| of his spirit Then this Summer he
won the Metropolitan open from no
less a SHOEMAKER than Cruickshank.
Evidently this was the one thing he
needed for in the face of the stern
est sort of competition from Aubrey
Boomer, the great English player, IN
the Ryder Cup match, he stood to his
guns as intrepidly as could have been
asked and won the day. So the as
sumption of those who admire him is
that at least he is on his way and
will take a lot of heading off from
Bobby Jones or any one else.
Cruickshank has had experience
somewhat similar to Farrel'S. AL
ways in the money, something hap
pened since he came here from Edin-
! burgh to keep him out Of first place.
Bobby Jones did once, and most dra-
matically. -
But in the past Winter things be-
gan to click for Bobby, and his fingers
| tingled quite consistently with the feel
| of first money. Seemingly this was
all the little Scotch importation re-
quired, and since that time there has
not been rival who has not feared
/ him, with the best of reason.
Hagen Is Uncertain.
AS for Walter Hagen, no one knows
what he will do. If he has not bucked
up his game, it is certain he will not
do well; but, as every one knows, the
| best of games is in his bag, and he is

would like very much to win as he is

himself in this country.

~ NE of the oldest things in golf
and one of the best of the
old principles-is slowly end
~ surely passing out OF the
American version of the an
cient sport of the Scot. This is the
drag back principle of getting the club
head away from the ball. To see 1t
nowadays you have to hunt up a real
old-time pro from the other side, one
like Tom Vardon of st. Paul, broth
err of the famous Harry.
The drag-back of the clubhead
means taking it back from the ball
as you would instinctively and nat
urally draw back whip to crack it.
With this exception: With the whip
you would use one arm while with the
golf club you use both.
And I guess it is the difficulty OF
using both arms together in the drag
back that has made it become almost
obsolete among present-day golfers
that and the difficulty the average
player has in timing this swing.
Yet the drag-back is simple and
really worth very much consideration
on the part of any player who wishes
to play better. Three details he needs
to watch in order, / think, to accom-
plish a fair drag-back swing. These
are: Keep the body facing toward the
ball as you start the drag and make
the left arm stay close to the body.

Duncan's poor game, the Britishers
were only / down at the turn in the
afternoon, for Boomer, after driving
800 yards, flung a high mashie shot
alongside the hole at the eighth to
secure an eagle 3, and halved the
ninth in 3.
Cruickshank won the 200-yard
eleventh with one of the great shots
of the day, a high iron that carried
almost pin high and left him a 10
footer for a 2, which he sank.
Boomer promptly retaliated with a
birdie to win the long twelfth and
the match was again close, with only
one hole separating the two pairs.
Cruickshank and Boomer halved the
short thirteenth in 3s and all secured
is on the fourteenth.
Then came the fifteenth and the
break that decided the contest in ia
vor of the holders of the international
best ball title. Duncan pitched over
the green, while the other three had
holeable puts for 3s. Armour and
Cruickshank barely missed their bids
for 3s and Boomer, attempting to COB
BILE an 1S-footer, ran 2 feet past on
The upper side of the cup. He missed
the wee one, and Armour and Cruick-
shank were 2 up with 3 to go.
Seeming victory and determined to
bear down to a quick finish, both of
the victorious pair put their tee shots
within Is feet of the hole at the short
sixteenth. Boomers ball ran over the
green into trap and Duncan pulled
to another trap. Boomer pitched out,
but was unable to hole his putt and
Armour and Cruickshank won the
hole with 3s and the match and 2.
The bye holes were played out.
