From far-away Utah comes a yarn
involving the flne golf of youthful
player from washington who went
West for q Summer trip and remained
In Utah to win the runner-up position
In the Utah junior championship. The
youngSter Is Charles w. Cole of In
dian Spring, who Is a student at George
Washington University. and former
holder OF the municipal links title.
Cole Joined q group of college friends in
the Southwest early in July. intending
to travel through g. veral Western States
during the Summer. In his travels he
hit Utah. and found the junior golf
championship Of the State scheduled
for Salt Lake City. He also found that
he WIS eligible 10 enter. and enter he
did. He borrowed set Of clubs, quail
fed, and went to the final round, where
he was beaten.
One Of the finest feats Of the week
was the hne 81 registered by Alex M.
Knapp over the Five Farms course OF
the Baltimore Country Club, to set
new record for the layout which baf-
fed the professionals in their match
play championship last Fall. Knapp
covered the first nine In an almost I'm
believable 81, picking up 5 brides on
his way, and came back In SO, to better
par for the course by four strokes. The
pros played 36-hole qualifying round
over the course last october, and, If we
recall correctly the best score turned
In was a 20, by AL Espinosa. But the
putting green's were exceptionally fast
during that tourney, and are in better
condition these days.
The Baltimore tourney last Fall
found Horton Smith making his FIRST
real bid for fame. In the pro match
play event he went to the Semi-final,
where he lost to Espinosa. And day
after tomorrow finds the tall Missourian
coming to Washington to show the golf
bugs Of the Capital just how he does
It. and how he was the Winter golfmg
sensation. Probably several thousand
golfers Of the Capital IF the day is not
too hot) will move out to Indian Spring
next Tuesday afternoon to see Smith
and Leo Diegel attempt to trounce
Monro Hunter and Glenn Spencer, who
are rated the longest hitters around
this part OF the country.
Last Spring, Walter Hagen was asked
how it was that Smith was so success
them to DEATH Which Bob Jones
found out years ago was an easy way
to win golf matches. 1t will be in
teresting to see whether Smith "fours"
the Indian Spring course to death on
his first trip over this eXacting layout.
He should do 70 or better, for Indian
Spring, in its present baked condition,
lends itself readily to brides, and there
should be quite flock of birds picked
up by the four men in the match on
Tuesday.
The course is an open book to Diegel,
for he has played 1t many times, and
1t likewise is familiar to Hunter and
Spencer. To such a player as Smith,
however all golf courses look alike, for
1t is probable with the experience he
has picked UP in his transforming
exhibitions with Hagen. he has found
q strange course as easy to play as
familiar layout. The match will start
at 8 O'Clock and the price is So.
Arrangements for the affair are in
the hands of the Middle Atlantic Pro-
fesSional Golfers Association and the
proceeds Of the match will 60 to the
family Of Bobby McWatt, formerly pro-
fessional at Columbia, In need Of
financial help.
