carried over the corner of the trap
which is supposed to keep the big hitters
from taking the short cut and left him
but a simple pitch to. the green. On
the eighth he got back of another and
knocked 1t $50 yards or more, so far
that he had only mashie niblick shot
left to the green on this par hole.
Sidney hadn't driven SO far on the
eighth in so long he had forgotten the
shot and he proceeded to dump the ball
in one of the traps that fringe the
green. But he covered the nine holes
in SO strokes, which is one better than
par, and Is no mark for any man to
laugh at.
Newcomer to United States.
Moore has been in this country only
little more than a year, coming to
Congressional from the Dunwoodie Club
of New York, where he had been with
his brother. His first big splash in the
local professional armament came at
the Annapolis Roads course, where he
record for that testing layout, and
incidentally won him quite nice piece
of change in the amateur-pro event
played that day.
A few days later he went over to
Rolling Road, near Baltimore, where he
and his partner finished in second place
in the junior amateur professional
event. Moore has negotiated the Con-
gressional course in 10 once or twice,
and is hopeful of cracking the 70 mark
before many more days roll around.
notwithstanding his small stature he
is very long hitter and is one of the
very best putters among the local pro-
fessionalS. If Moore keeps on the path
make a name for himself as a playing
professional. Another lad in the Con-
greSsional shop-Archie Clark-youth-
full and popular North Carolinian, has
just made II over the Congressional
course. Clark is another youngster who
knocks the ball as far as any one can
send it.

Golf ChaHengers
BY BRIAN BELL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

- FORGE VOIGT is a golfer of
undoubted ability. who has
r threatened repeatedly to win a
major championship.
Last year he was the med
alist in the amateur, with brilliant
36-hole score of l43. after he had failed
to qualify at Minnikahda in 1927.
Predictions we're freely made that
Voigt would move straight into the
finals with Bobby Jones, as they were
in different brackets. The raven
matched Voigt, however, was defeated
in the semi-finals by Phil Perkins, Brit
ish amateur champion, and it was Per-
kins, not Voigt. who furnished Jones
holiday in the final.
Voigt has won many lesser titles. He
has had long lease on the North
and South amateur title and he is the
only amateur to capture the Long Is
land open.
In 1923 he ran through a long string
of invitation tournaments, winning
most of them. He was not so good a
year later and found it hard to get
started
The former Washingtonian, now a
New Yorker, is a great iron player, with
a heavy accent on accuracy. He Is not
a long player from the tee, but nor
mally is a great putter.
The Pebble Beach course, where the
1929 championship will be held, pays
dividends for accuracy, and Voigt's en-
thusiastic supporters declare it is made
for him."

BIG BILL MAY RANK
FIRST TENTH TIME
Although Stopped by French
He Has Held on to Top
Rung at Home.
BY ALAN ]. GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

THREE years ago, Big Bill Tilden
was abruptly checked by the
surging rush of youthful French
men, after capturing the United
States singles championship SIX
times in a row. Over the period OF 1871
to 1925, Big Bill was supreme. The rec
ord of seven championships, first set by
Dick Sears back in the eighties and
eoualed later by William Larned, APP
reared we'll within the grasp of Tllden
until ne ran into Cochet in 1926 and
then I,acoste in 1927. Cochet turned
back Frank hunter for the singles
crown in f928, Tilden being in official
disfavor as an aftermath of his player
writer row and was ruled out OF actlon.
Now, the lanky American is back
home after his last big campaign abroad,
with no more Frenchmen in sight Tor
the rest of the season. AS conSe-
uuence, Big Bill has royal chance 10
wade through the field at Forest Hills,
starting September Z, to recapture the
national title and equal the Sears
Iarned mark. Should he do so, Tllden
automatically would clinch the No. l
ranking position on the national lSt
for the tenth time in row. Despite his
ups and downs of recent years, ne mas
never relinquished that dominating po-
sition at home, although he was re-
inStated just in time to be put at the
head of the class last February for the
ninth year.
In the 10 national singles champion
ships he has tried for since 1918, Tllden
has been champion 6 times, runner-up
3 times to r. Lindley Murray, Little Bill
Johnston and Rene LacoSte, and quar-
ter-finalist once, when he bowed to
Henri Cochet.
Little Bill was Big Bills victim nVe
times in the national finals and once IN
the semi-finals in 1921. when Tlldens
conquest of Wallace Johnson in the
final represented an anti-climaX.
WHEN Babe Herman first broke In
w with the Brooklyn Robins, his
aegkwardness in the field frequently
made it doubtful whether he would
block fly balls with his glove or his
head. The Babe Is still several Kllome-
tiers short of the Iris Speaker standard
of outfieldmg, but his heavy hitting mas
offset anything his critics may say about
his defensive ability. Herman has been
batting consistently around 400, threat
ing to give Brooklyn its first champion
batsman since the palmy days OF Jake
Daubert and Zach Wheat.
Herman is only one of the big sur
prises this year in the National Leagues
big batting rampage. Chuck Klein and
Lefty Frank ODoul of the PhillieS also
have been connecting. ODoul led the
parade earlier in the campaign. Klein
is we'll on the way to beating Rogers
Hornsby's league record OF AZ homerS
for a single season.
TTEN years ago, Babe Ruth, after hit
i ting 90 home runs for the Boston
Red Sox and setting new record, was
sensational enough to be purchased for
$135,O0O by the Yankees and signed to
a $4,000 contract. Klein, well beyond
the 3O-mark in August, in his first full
year as a big Lacquer. is understood to
be working on $500 contract for
1929.

- IDNEY C. MOORE, the chunky
little British, one of the assistant
professionals at the Congress
~ sional Country Club, who is
rapidly coming to be known as
one of the top notch golfers around
Washington, has added many yards to
his already long tee shot by a new
quirk of stance and swing he has begun
to try out. Sidney always has been
distances at Congressional he wanted
little more carry and run to his ball.
So he began experimenting with
stance and swing, and found that even
though it wasn't a bad one, he had
slight loop in his swing with the
wooden clubs, which produced the eff
feet of hitting the ball from the outside
in, instead of from the inside out, and
which cut down his distance. even
though 1t aided his accuracy. He had
been using an open stance, that is with
the right foot advanced beyond the left
on the line to the hole. And in the
course of his experiments. he tried pull
ing that right fc~& around until he
had approXimated a square stance, OF
quite the same efficaciouS style as that
used by Tommy and Sandy Armour.
Change Helps Him.
Moore found the change thoroughly
worth while. For one thing, it COM
PEELED him to hit from the inside out,
or rather aided hitting from the in
side out, and almost completely elimi-
mated the swing across the body, which
cut down his distance. Now his club
swings free from the back swing on a
loop that brings it into the ball still
moving forward instead of across the
line, and as a result he is getting
vastly increased distance.
