FORG()LF
GOLD
By Charles F. Carter

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Jan. A.
Fighting for gold and glory. 2tO
golfers were scheduled to tee off
here today in a 36-hole qualifying
test to determine the entrants who
will be eligible to start Friday In
the third annual $lO,OOO Los
Angeles open tournament.
Six courses were thrown open for
the qualifying play, with the reld
evenly apportioned so that the last
putt can be dropped before darkness
falls this evening.
Exempt only from tOday's
battle were 80 noted stars of
tee and green. who finished
high in the play for hOnOrs in
the Los Angeles and National
Open events of last year.
With these 80 already eligible,
and with the total starting field
limited to 12S, the $50 mashie
wielders teeing off today had only
S8 places to divide. 1t was no day
for a nervous golfer. with darkness
promising certain elimination of al
most two-thirds of the contending
divot diggers.
Although Tommy Armour. Ma
tioual Open champions; Wee Bobby
Cruickshank. Light Horse" Harry
Cooper. AL Watrous, AL Espinosa.
Leo Diegel. ''Wild Bill' Mehlhorn
and many other big guns" of the
professional ranks are automa ticallv

were forced to hattie in today's two
round test
Macdonald Smith, Che Great

picked by many as faVOrite i'm
the coming clash for big money.
The Wiltshire Country Club
course IS very much to Macs
liking. The New York pro has
always shown a putting deadli.
ness on fast, rolling greens.
Young Harry Cooper, capable of
playing as brilliant golf as any man
In America, and whose nerve and
bold cockiness is a thorn in the sides
OF many Of his fellow pros, will be
backed heavily to repeat his sensa-
: tional triumph of two years ago.
Al WatrouS, the Grand Rapids
star. is another club swinger who is
going big" right now. and who is
always dangerous in cold cash COM
petition.
While the rest of the boys have
high respect for Tommy Armour
normal game, they are not figuring
him as a fairway foeman to be
feared in this particular event.
Tommy apparently is overgolfed, and
badly in need of long rest.

force, but knowing that, what
does ne strive for? The answer
lS-force. This desire to hit
the ball hard really amounts to
a worry that you will fail to
hit 1t as hard as you possibly
can, because you fear if you
don't hit it that hard you will
lose maybe five yards of dis
lance. So you clout 'em tough,
and hunt for it in the rough.
This is definite and, with
many players, constant secon-
Diary worry in golf that is pres
ent in their play even though
they thought they long since
had ceased to worry about the
details.

this session once again proved that
he can take the hard raps.
The District lad fired volley OF
terrific portside charges at Weiner
in the second stanza and the Oriole
lad cru. pied under this attack. He
ripped Weiner with a vicious left
and had him reeIing at the end OF
the round.

By .sskeets'' Watson

Somewhere in this country the
temperature may be right for golf
but the past few days the boys
about these parts nave been using
ice skates. Now I've heard about
the old 'stove league in baseball
when the off season is at hand,
and last night I ran into gang
OF sportsmen who had a league OF
their own, and discussed every
sport known to A. G. Spauldtng
and all his brothers.
These indoor. round the radiator
sportsmen, knew every fighter from
Kilrain to Tunney, the present
champion. Knew them personally
and the inside of every fight. They
had the inside of all the baseball
games that had been played and
had received the cold dope on the
winner of every world series. Yes,
they knew all about race horses
tall being broke, and could name
every winner the past 20 years.
Some even went so far to say
that they had been jockeys; Of
course, they had put on some
weight and now lay ut about
200 pounds. They talked the
merits of automobiles and when
the subject hit golf, here Is
where my ears popped open.
What these birds knew would
stagger q Foster bureau.
This is where Mike Martin, the
Will Rogers of baseball, chirps IN
with a story of golf match be-
tween Walter Johnson and Clyde
Milan, when Clyde was player
with the team. Now Mike Is better
than green hand at story telling,
having been associated with Clark
Griffith for % years.
Walter Johnson and Milan had
lust started to play golf when the
team was in Florida some years
ago. and a match was arranged be-
tween the two. 1t was played on
the Rocky Mount golf links In
Tampa. Jerry Thompson was the
pro at that time and he gave each
Of the boys a dozen balls for prac-
tice after they had purchased three
new balls apiece TO start the game.
With a gallery of about 16 Wash
| ington players following, everything
went along nicely until the fifth
hole was reached. OF course they
had cut up few balls and the
Il
holes were won in strokes reaching
about 10 to each hole. It was
Milan's honor at the fifth tee. It
| is a short hole Of 126 yards, and
there is pond just in front OF
| the tee.
Clyde drove Ia straight shots
into the pond and then bor-
rOwed balls from johnson and
put these in before giving up.
Walter drove his remaining :
into the same hazard and they
dispatched q caddy back to the
club house for q dozen more
balls. at the same time giving
up the effort to reach the
green and walked to the next
tee.
They had lost % balls in holes
and cut up 2. Starting at the
sixth Walter put his ball into the
sand trap and on the next shot
buried the ball into the side of the
bunker. At every stroke to dislodee

For the second successive year
no dividend was declared at the
annual meeting of the club owners.
After the ballots were counted and
placed in several huge piles, it was
discovered that Clark &. Griffith
would act as president for 1928, with
William M. Richardson vice presl-
dent. and Edward Is. Eynon, Jr.,

The Washington club did not lose
anything during the past season.
However. expenses were higher than

coupled with the stupendOus lead
Of the Yankees after July 4, served
to keep down the income.
