TOLLEY WILL WEAR
CROWN TO AMERICA
Briton, Who viii Play in U. S.
Amateur, Defeats Smith
for Home Honors.
BY FRANK III. KING.
Associated Press stan Writer.

SANDWICH, England, June IS
Cyril James Hastings Tolley, new COM
handing general Of British amateur
golf, will carry his country's champion
ship title, which he won here today,
when he invadeS the United States to
play in the American amateur cham
pionship at Pebble Beach, Calf, next
September.
Tolley won his second crown by de-
feating John Nelson Smith, Scottish
carpenter from Fife, up and 3 to
play, in the 36-hole final, closing a
week Of brilliant golf. during which he
scored a series OF convincing successes.
The Scotch artisan opposing the
termined sort Of game that brought him
q sensational victory yesterday over
John Dawson, the brilliant young
American. and for Is holes he held his
English opponent to level terms. Sturdy
shouldered, big-boned and with huge
hands that seemed to make his clubs
like match sticks. Smith never let Tolley
get ahead until the nineteenth hole.
Smith Shoots Straight.
Consistently outdriven, Smith, never
thclesS, c1ialked the faces of his wooden
clubs with a piece of blue chalk he uses
on other days for drawing lines in his
carpenter shop and smacked his own
shots straight and true.
At the twenty-second hole Tolley hit
a fine iron shot to the green, and with
this seemed to divest himself of the
strain that was beginning to tell on
both players. He then played great golf
to the close. His performance over the
next five holes was enough to break the
heart of a less courageous man than
Smith, but the Scotsman hit back by
winning three.
Tolley's position was unassailable,
however, and no matter how hard
Smith hammered, the big English star
held his lead and with long putt won
the thirty-second to become dormie
The thirty-third was carefully halved
and the title was Tolley's.
Tolley Tremendous Driver.
He won the amateur championship in
1920. by stopping r. A. Gardner of
Chicago at the thirty hole. He
has held the French open title twice
and was a member Of all British
Walker Cup teams until last year. when
he found himself unable TO make the
trip to the United States.
His tremendous driving feats have
made topics of conversation in many
clubhouses on both sides OF the At
lantic. When the amateur champion
ship was played at @Troon in 1928 he
drove on to the first green, $50 yards
| from the tee, and holed his putt for q
two. Playing later, In the United
States, golfers who had perhaps doubt
ed the correct measuring Of the first
hole at Troon. doubted no longer when
they saw the big Britisher drive.
Some Of his harvest hitting was at
| Atlanta. where he visited Robert T.
Jones, jr., and played several rounds
with the American star. Few courses
In the vicinity Of Atlanta escaped
| punishment from his big faced driver
which sent the ball speeding great dis
tances from q peculiar stance.

Word championship" Brighten.
Women Golfers of Washington

TIME word championship" seems
to have In it an element of too
much and too fast competition
4 for most of the woman golfers
about Washington, according to
officials of the Women's District Golf
Association.
Most of the women's Journeys held
about the Capital this year have had
entry lists of 40 and more golfers, but
in the most important event of them
all-tke woman's District of Columbia
championship-the entry list so far
totals only a few more than 80 names.
The tourney is to. start tomorrow
morning over the course at the Columbia
Country Club, and Mrs. William S..
Corby, president of the golf association,
announces that the entry list will be
held open until noon today In order
10 give the last-minute entrants time
to send in their names. Mrs. Corby is
accepting the entries, which must be ac-
companied by fee of $3.50.
Entries in the woman's championship
tournaments OF the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association have been disappointing in
number, even though several flights
in addition to the championship fight
always are offered Mrs. Corby. hopes
that the entry list in the womans Dis
trict event will be large enough to hold
several other flights in addition to the
championship Is. She Is hopeful that
the entries will run to the so mark
When we mention the word cham
pionsllip. Mrs. Corby says. ut seems
to us that some woman players feel they
have no chance to get in or figure in
the championship, and therefore do not
enter. That is not the case at all.
Even If they do not happen to qualify
in the championship flight, we have
made arrangements for other flights,
and 1t is our hope that we may have so
or more entries, and that the tourna-
ment will be wholly representative of
woman's golf around Washington"
Il have noticed that the entry list
In the Midatlantic has been disappoirit-
ing for the same reason, although sew
eral flights are played in addition to
that for the championship Simply be-
cause championship is held, it does
not mean that the average golfer should
not play, for even though she may have
no chance to win the title she will
have an opportunity to qualify and
play in another flight

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.


~ the $50 golfers who qualified
for the national open cham
pionship to be played over the
~ Winged Foot course. New York,
June 81 to 20, the most remark
able Is Fred Mcleod.
Mcleod has played in every national
open championship for ~ years and has
failed to qualify for only three. He be-
gan playing in the United States cham
pionship soon after coming to this coun-
try from North Berwick, Scotland, and
became one of the front rankers in 1907,
when he tied for fifth place at the
Philadelphia Cricket Club. The follow
ing year he won the title after a play-on
with Willie c. Smith, and nearly all
ways has finished among the first 10.
Probably VIII FAN Short.
Mcleod probably will fall short of
reaching the championship rank at
Winged Foot, for he will be competing
against younger and even better play
ers, but there will be few in the field
capable of finer golf shots, and cer-
tainly no one of the same age and long
experience.
A perusal of the championship field
that qualified over 10 widely scattered
courses shows tremendous number
Of new and almost unheard-of players.
Twelve of the players to qualify are
amateurs and, with the addition of
Bobby Jones and George Won Elm, who
were exempted from qualifying, there
will be IA simon pures in the lists.
However, the names of such famous
players as Chick Evans, Jess Sweetser
and Jesse Guilford are missing, and
Watts Gum, who was the amateur
sensation some five years ago, failed to
meet the test.
Horton Smith Favorite.
All of the professionals who repre-
sented the United States in. the Ryder
Cup matches and European chamion-
ships have returned and are practicing
for the United States open. Hagen is
filled with a new determination to win
the American title that has eluded him
since 1919, but unless Walter is un-
usually straight from the tees, Winged
Foot Is not course suited to his
winning.
Horton Smith will be the favorite of
the professional ranks In the champion
ship and his monotonous straightness
from the tee will stand him in good
stead on the New York course.

Miss Palfrey belongs to a family
which has played tennis for years. She
has three sisters who swing a mean
racket, but she is the best. All Of them
owe a big debt to Mrs. Hazel Hotchkiss
wightman for the attention and time
she has given them on the courts of
the Longwood Cricket Club.
Has Fighting Heart.
That Miss Palfrey has arrived def
initely in high-class company was
shown recently when she defeated both
Penelope Anderson of Richmond, Va,
and Alice Francis, in the intercity
matches for the Sears Cup at Boston.
Miss Anderson and Miss Francis were
both in the first 10 last year, Miss An
derson being eighth and Miss Francis
tenth. Miss Francis could not get a
set from Miss Palfrey, and in her
match with Miss Anderson the Brook
line miss showed that she not only
knew how to play tennis, but also that
she has a fighting heart, by coming
back after dropping the first set. and
