7 DO not recall seeing the name
of the Hon. w. G.. BrownloW
in the dispatches from Hoy
4 lake, where the recent British
amateur golf championship
was contested and won by a golfer
hitherto to fortune and to fame
unknown, at least in America.
One DR.. Tweddell again proved
that the British amateur cham
pionship frequently goes to some
worthy combatant until then out
side the pale Of celebrity.
One of these days we will take
up a discussion of the British
plan, which seems to most Amer
leans peculiar. But just now
would speak of the Hon. w. G..
BroWnlOw, son of Lord Lurgan, an
Irish peer; musician first and a
tournament golfer afterward be-
cause his father wishes him to be
the rosy checked boy who
drubbed Watts Gum soundly in
in the British amateur champion
ship last Summer at Muirfeld, and
carried Jess Sweetser to the
twenty-flrst green before sue
cumbing to the eventual victor
of the tournament.

did not go in for knickers and
snappy hosiery. He wore long

and boyish countenance, and the

it the other way. When you try to
do that your down swing is too much
of jerk.
At the top the club should be al
lowed to pull up the slack in your
wrists and forearms. Then. if you hold
on firmly with the left hand, the shaft
will actually bend tritle under the
pressure. This shaft-bendinS con-
stitutes the cushion OF the swing as
whole. Fig ..

head will automatically begin recoil
action directly toward the ball, and

YOU left it to it's own action. Cushion
ing the swing is what is meant in
reality when you are told to pause a
moment at the top. You never
pause--the action Is continuous. All
you do is give the club enough time
up there to reverse itself. It's the
same thing as If you were walking
east and suddenly wanted to reverse.
While turning around you wouldn't
actually stop walking. The same
thing with the golf club-don't act
ually stop and pause at the top; just
turn with 1T, but give 1t time enough
to do that.

to dispose of Hugh McQuillan, Giant

All that Bancroft, the Boston rep

~ UR greatest American open
golf championship will be
contested Tuesday, Wednes-
~ day and Thursday over the
long and testing course of
the Oakmont Country Club in Pitts
burgh. 1t will mark the first visit of
team of British professionals to
compete, SO the international inter

Oaknlont long has been regarded
as one of the finest championship
tests in America and the course,
previously worthy of any golfers
skill, has been made even more diff
cult and a little longer. At the BAN

Ryder Cup teams, in Worcester, w.
G. Fownes, jr.. president of the
United States Golf Association and
chairman of the greens committee at
Oakmont, said that Oakmont would
measure more than 1000 yards from
the championship tees.
Fownes said that while the Oak
mont course was dong, the United
States Golf Association had found
that it was necessary to have great
length to combat the improvements
being made in golf balls, which are
flying much better than few years
ago. AS the distance of the ball in

Bobby Jones, holding the British

BAN UPHOLDS UMPS
IN PROTESTED GAME
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. June 11.--A ball in The
dugout is out of play, President b. H.
Johnson of the American League
ruled TODAY in not allowing the Phila-
deiphia protest of the afternoon game
on Memorial day won by the New
York Yankees.
Catcher Johnny Brabowsh of the
Yankees in making foul catch fell
into the dugout while two runners
crossed the plate. Manager Connie
Mack commended that both these rum
ners were entitled to as many bases
as they could get, but the umpires
ruled that each was allowed only two
bases.
THE protest was made on the
ground that Grabowski in catching a
foul fly from AL Simmons bat was
incapa citated by reason of a fall over
the iron gNard railing into the pit"
President Johnson said.
"Philadclphia runners were on sec
ond and first base at the time of the
occurrence, and it is the contention of
the Philadelphia manager that both
should have been permitted to score
as the latter, Cobb, was close to the
plate when Grabowski emerged from
the pit.
1.-THE umpires in their combined de-
cision allowed Collins to score from
second and held Cobb at third The
Interpretation of the play is simple, ="
Johnson continued. 1.-THE player
(Grabowski) by accident fell into the
pit, gripping the ball as he fell. The
ball was then temporarily out of play.
1T must of necessity be placed in
tho same classification as ball
thrown in the players dugout. The
decision made by the umpires in al
lowing two bases on the play was
fortunately correct and. therefore, the
protest is not allowed

Bobby played in the Atlanta open
in March and gave us all another les
son. This tournament was fine
tuning up for the worlds greatest,
and likewise served to make us think
about what may happen at Oakmont.
There is no question about Jones be-
ing the favorite. No matter from what
angle one views the situation, Bobby
Jones appears the best bet.
He will be fresh for 1t and he has
the power needed for q long course.
If there was any one hole at Eastlake
in Atlanta that gave Jones the edge
on the field in the Southern open 1t
was that long fifteenth, which must be
full wooden shots together better than
any golfer, and he did just this at
Eastlake on the hole that requires
distance. Remember, Oakmont is
more than 1000 yards. No wonder the
professionals fear Jones again.
Grand Golfers" Among Britons.
There are some grand golfers on
the British team. The fact that they
were beaten in the match at Wor-
cester does not mean that one of the
number may not win at Oakmont.
Last year in Great Britain our pro-
fessional team was beaten badly in
the team match, but we did well in
the championship. OF the British the
spectators at Worcester were impress
sed most by Aubrey Boomer.
Boomer is a powerful player, cap
able of getting all the distance re-
uuired at Oakmont. His weakness at
1os~
will be dangerous at Oakmont pro-
yided he can develop a putting touch
and is not afraid to hit the ball at
the hole. I also like the game of
Charley Whitcomb of the British team,
and [ believe that Boomer and Whit
comb have the best chance of the
British.
OF our own men, Bobby Cruickshank
and Johnnie Farrell are going the
best, although Harry Cooper may be
playing web. Harry has been in Los
Angeles since March, and there has
not been much opportunity to get a
line on his game. Farrell won the
Metropolitan open, and continued to
play great golf at Worcester in the
Ryder Cup matches. Right now
Johnnie has the touch and the con-
fidence. Last Winter Cruickshank
won IL HlAlDCI VI U45 CNCuIo lEOHl
fast fields. and he Is playing just as
we'll as he was then.
My own game has not satisfied me
for some time. To give myself as
much chance as possible l arranged
to go to Oakmont in advance and take
things easy. | cancelled a number of
exhibition dates to do this and ac-
quaint myself with the Oakmont
course.
Golf will reach it's highest peak in
America with this years open cham
pionship at Oakmont. The winner
will be real golfer. with Jones, Far
rell, Cruickshank, Boomer and Whit
comb my favorites.

There are a score Of men who might

ged terrain who are capable OF beating
a Bob Jones not at his best. Turnesa,
who finished a shot back last year at

" " next Tuesday, Wednesday

Who will he able to beat
BOD Jones over a course on which he

These are the cogent questions of

tne amateur and professional hosts
from all sections of the United States
and even from the cradle of the
spreading game---Great Britain-turn
their eyes toward the classic Oakmont

IS not able to outclub the rest of the
pack.
There have been other champion
ships-many OF them-and many have
attracted fields which should be as

The veteran Bobby-for he is a pre-
cocious kid no longer-already has
given notice of what he intends to do
at Oakmont. And that no longer than
three months back, when he won the
Southern open from a field which in
cluded virtually all the men who will
play at Oakmont this week. SO the
remainder of the field, viewing the
superb style of the Atlanta youngster
and the steadineSs which brings hole
after hole on the Jones score card in
par and birdie, will have but one
thought In mind-'Beat Bob Jones"
This is nothing new in the open. 1t
has been the same thing now for four
years, ever since Jones won at InWood
and proved to the world that here
indeed was national championship
material. AS if the world didn't

Who can beat Jones over Oakmont,
where quartet of 73s will be almost
