par 4, Tommy Armour needed a
birdie 3 in order to tie Harry Coo
per and force a play-off for the 1927
United States open crown. Tommy
smacked a perfect drive down the
middle. came to his ball some 170
yards from home and looked over a
heart-throbbing situation. There was
the green somewhat uphill, banked
TO the front. On it's level above,
the flag. II was trapped viciously
to either side and banked with
mass Of people, thousands of them,
all quivering over the situation.
Tommy took out his No. iron. A
quiet fell upon that great gallery,
such a quiet as one only senses at
a funeral. Then came a rhythmic
swing, not quite to the full, the left
arm not bending at all and clean
hit down into the ball. Hardly had
the ball left the blade of his iron
than "A roar arose from those back
of the green and in line with the
shot. AS the ball struck just over
the bank dead on line for the pin,
the roar increased. for every moth
er's son and daughter present, in
cluding the mothers and fathers,
too, all knew that Tommy had a
chance to tie. His ball came to rest
10 feet from the pin on a level

pressure and IL gave Tommy his
opportunity, the chance to meet
Harry Cooper for the title. Every.

| This was demonstrated at Minikahda,
| when hundreds of spectators told me
| they would like to see me In there
against some of the amateurs, espe
| cially Jones.
I must say they were silly, because
no man would have had a. chance
against Jones the way he was hitting
but those who spoke to me were only
indicating that the thirst for com
petition is very keen. Spectators dc
not care for one-sided games.
am inclined to believe that as far
as the average golf follower is con-
cerned it makes little difference
whether the players he is watching are
amateurs or professionals. What most
fans seem to like Is a close game and
they will support any sort of tourna-
ment which promises to provide the
thrills of watching well known golfers
coming to the home green all square,
or battling out on the course with a
one-hole margin separating them.
Jones might walk through a mixed
field as easily as he did the amateur
field, but in trying to think up some
means of stimulating interest in match
play competition the idea of the open
match play event was the only one
that came up. One of the writer's sug.
gested that Jones might be made to
play the best ball of the three other
semi -finalists.
An open match play tournament
would in no way interfere with the
national amateur championship. a
great feature of the golfing year, or
the professional match play champion
ship, which is getting to be popular
event, but it would bring together the
best golfers of America at match play.
The biggest thing in base ball is the
world series, when the winner in the
American League meets the winner in
the National League. The same would
hold in golf.
One thing is certain. Bobby Jones
would enjoy such a tournament. He
likes to play against professionals and
would do so more than he does if the
United States Golf Association were
not so strict.
All golfers, from the 20-handicapy
player to the scratch man, get the big
gest thrill from closely-fought game
This is likewise the only sort of game
the public cares for and while Bobby
Jones might gallop away with an open
match play championship, as he did
with the amateur, the experiment
would be interesting.
Some District golf association might
arrange such q tournament and give
all of the receipts to charity. / am
sure the best Of the professionals
would enter it.

n YEW YORK, October II OP.-
Gene Tunney, stunning the
VI spotlight and spending a good
deal of his time roughing it in
the woods, is already going
about the job of keeping himself fit
for his next title defense.
Whether the heavyweight champion
stakes his crown next in London or

Jack Sharkey or Pauline Uzcudun, he
will be in condition.
Dempsey may have caught Tunney
off guard in their famous seventh

marine out of condition.
Stamina, built up by year-round
training program, saved the heavy
weight crown for Gene Tunney at Chi
cago. No one knows that better than
Gene himself.
'I never get ready for a fight by an
intensive program of work a few
weeks beforehand" Tunney once en-
planned. I'm in condition all the
time. My natural preference is for a
life in the open, where I can build up
and develop my strength naturally"

strenuous work with the gloves, but
what he did was enough to keep him
at the desired edge. No athlete was
ever conditioned better for a hard
fight than Tunney when he stepped
into the ring at Soldier Field. If he
hadn't been at his physical peak he
could not have got up from the resin
and won after the terrific series of
shots his jaw absorbed.
By the time the ballyhoo starts next

iers and golf writer's put in idle mo.
ments discussing the future of match
play in America.
All believed Jones so dominated the

Grantland Rice suggested it, and
the idea was indorsed by all.
Such a tournament would create
intense interest in the qualifying
stages, with battle on between the
amateurs and professionals for quail
flying places, and once the match play
started some red-hot games could be
expected.

A MEXICAN golfers not entirely
~ insensible of their duty of
"A lending aid to the United
4 n States Golf Association in
conducting it's business have
been submitting numerous sugges-
tions during the past fortnight as to
how the fathers of the game might
better conduct the play of the ma
tional amateur championship so there
would be general satisfaction, from
champion to caddy.
Some Of the suggestions have merit
and are based on sound thought, while
still more are inclined to the facetious
and usually include the idea that a
moratorium should be declared until
such time as Robert Jones is stricken
with lumbago and no longer can dash
over our best fairways.
The consensus Of opinion is that the
u. S. G. A. might help the situation
by tightening the eligibility lines for
competition in the amateur. AS 1t is
today, players right to compete in
the amateur is based entirely upon his
competitive record, which is passed
upon by the championship committee.
But player might be State champion
Of Nevada, which would entitle him to
some consideration of the amateur,
and still be worse player than 10.
handicap man in the metropolitan dis
trict. So 1t Is easy to see there are
flaws in the present system Of han.
ding the entries.
Must Reduce Fields.
The United States Golf Association
being the governing body Of all Amer
lean golf, must also be diplomatic and
known in the trade as courtesy en-.
tries"--usually players belonging to
clubs where the championship is
played. Those fellows are fine chaps,
but entirely misplaced in a national
championship and do nothing more
than clutter up the field during the
two qualifying rounds.
The amateur could be conducted
much more smoothly If the ranks could
be reduced, and to accomplish that
the eligibility rules must be made far
more strict than they are at present.
1t is quite likely the United States Golf
Association will do something along
that line before long.
One sound suggestion Is that Sec
tional qualifying rounds be held before
the amateur, as Is done for the ma
tional open. A scheme could be worked
out whereby those sectors with the
greatest number of star players could
be given the largest representation.
Sectional qualifying rounds would
weed out players whose game really
did. not warrant their being In the ma
tional field and would save such play
ers the trouble Of making long jour-
ney to the championship course.
If by some scheme the u. s. G. A.

could reduce to 100 or fewer the field
that was to compete in the qualifying
rounds of the championship proper,
1t would then be possible to play the
36-hole medal test in one day. Play
ing a double round in one day would
be no more of strain on the con-
testants than a hard 36-hole match,
or two rounds on the final day of
the national open. The whole bust.
ness of picking the 80 to compete in
the match rounds then would be COM
pieted in single day and there would
ne ample time to stage the 36-hole
matches that seem so dear to the
hearts of all of the leading stars.
These suggestions show the trend of
the players thoughts. 1t seems logi.
cal that If the u. S. G.. A. really is
dissatisfied with the present system

size of fields that compete In qualify

no chance to qualify and are of no
interest to the public. The course
often Is clogged by slow players, and
In many instances players of consider
able ability are paired with men only
a little above the duffer class, which
reduces their chances Of qualifying.
Could Tighten Lines.
With golf growing tremendously
each season and the number of
good players automatically increasing
something will have to be done to
restrict the size Of the field in the
amateur championship, and the u. S.
G. A. might as well tighen the lines
now. That move would save a lot
of trouble.
