BY BRIAN BELL Associated Press Spirits Writer)

Associated Press Spirits Writer) New York, June es R-Al Espi- nosa. Chicago pro, was the only member of the Ryder cup team to made a hole in one during the in- vasion of Europe by the golf stars from the United States.
 Al holed his tee shot at the sixth hole of the Moortown course during practice for the international matches.
 The sure firing pro was not so good in the open at Muirfield, being bit wobbly from the start and finishing with pair of S1's for 72-hole total of 314, for too many strokes.
 Esptnosa, who has been a mem- ber of the last two Ryder cup teams, although he did not play at Worces- ter in 1927. finished all even with Ernest Whitcombe in his 36 hole singles match and paired with Leo Diegel won in the foursome over George Duncan and Aubrey Boom CT. seven up and five to play, in the 1929 international contests Al had the greatest single round in the 1927 open competition at Oakmont, when he played the final IS holes of the 72-hole test in 69. but he had used S3 for his first effort and so on the second, finish- ing in tie for eighteenth with a count of 311. Tn 1925 he tied for strokes on the last round after starting 72-71-74.

CHIAPETTA OFF
 IN HIS PUTTING
Spectators Follow Connecticut
 Golfers in Open Play
BH JlGGER Special to the Herald

Mamaroneck, N. 1., June 2S - Connecticut golfers in the national open tournament, were trailed by nearly half the spectators at Winged Foot yesterday. Billy Burke of Westport, started at 9:15 and carried most of the early rlsers with him. He won the New York state open last week and his 75 yesterday stood as low score for quite while.
 Louis Chiap of Sequin, paired with Walter Hagen. had the oppor- tunity Of displaying bis wares to that part of the crowd that did not follow Burke, Horton Smith or Bobby Jones.
 After Jones completed his round. his gallery turned to Hagen and Chiapetta. The other Nutmeg State entrants. Charlie Clare. Peter Man ming, Massie Miller and Henry Con- ci. started too late to have much of following.
 Hagen and the Sequin pro provid- ed a striking contrast in size, but when it came to golf shots, Louis suffered in only one respect, his put ting. Off the tees. he was usually ahead of Hagen and when he had to make recoverics out of traps, his chip shots called forth loud ap- plause. He was driving from 275 to $50 yards which amazed the gal lery. How does that little fellow get 50 far?" was a question often asked by his followers.
 But. in spite of missed butts on four holes that w;~n heart breaks tc his friends, Louis scored IS, only two strokes more than Hagen. If Chia- pett;t's butter had been as useful as his driver. Winged Foot would have offered small obstacles 10 him.

shots in golf circles failed to get par on the first hole. Leo Diegel three rutted it for a 5, Jones needed three shots to get on and took three puts and the best Hagen could get was | 5.
 When two such masters as Jones and Hagen started off in this style. there seemed little chance that par would be broken. But the amattur champions finish of five 3s and four Is changed Mir. Tillinghasts ideas about the inviolabllity of Winged Foot's par. SiNty-nine is just three strokes better than perfect for the course.
 Later in the day Al Espenosa came in with a 70, after missing d putt on the 18th to tie Jones. Gene Sarazen cut in under par with Fl. And then came some 72's. one of which tickled the gallery at the home tee.
 It was completed in spectacular fashion by old Jack White of Scot land. He is a contemporary of Val Flood and when the news preceded him that he needed a four on the final hole to score par. there were cheers when he drove out long ball. The gallery scattered and groaned as he hooked spoon into the crowd. The ball hit woman's hat and stopped pin high on hard ground off the green. The Scot came puffing up the hill. home to with mashie- -niblick for his wea- pon and cut the ball skyward. It held the slippery green and Jack sunk oO-foot putt to show the younger laddies how Scotlands an cient game should be played.
 stopped by Spectator
 His was not the only ball that was stopped by a spectator. In the morning dignitied old gentleman from Greenwich was intent upon the putting on the first hole. when Tom my Monion of St. Louis hooked | low drive off the ninth tee and hit the Connecticut Yankee on the leg. He hobbled off alone to his chauf- feur and car. a mile away.
 The gallery was large for the first days play but it was a good golf crowd. Greens weren't trampled on and no one put q footprint in the sand traps
 The camera men did all their grinding and clicking before the players started. No chances were taken on upsetting the putting by allowing the picture men on the course.
 While Hagen and Chiapetta were posing together, Walter was reques.- ed to doff his panama. II hoped to get that in," he said. "The Prince gave it to me-"
 Johnny Farrell sported a yellow sweater as he posed with a vacuum bottle and Leo Diegel wore Yale's colors Robbie Jones was clad in grey and the Haig wore brown. Jim Barnes. as usual. disdoined hunches and wore long trousers.
 Heads up'' is good motto for the golf gallery but it is fatal for the player as Jones found out again, when he was guilty of the great sin of golf on his third shot at the start of his round
 Brings Head Up
 His second was in trap guard ing the first green. It was an easy chip to the pin for possible four or an easy five. Looking up that time cost him the course record. With better start 65 or 66 was possible.
 He got break at the 514-yard 5th where he sank 40-foot putt for an eagle 3. From then on he was Jones. the smasher of par. He looks to be in perfect condition. physically. and his 31. coming !n. demonstrated that he has not lost | his game.

Speaking of Sports

The mention of the old Fifth Ward baseball team in this column the other night. has brought down . de- luge of memories from baseball fans, some of whom are old timers and from others who are not 50 old.
 The remark that the team was the best ever gathered together in this city has gone unchallenged. Many have remarked that they are in ac- cord with the opion that the team was the best ever organized from purely New Britain talent. A glance over the lineup recalls many of the games played at Walnut Hill park. If we have forgotten anybody we won't mind being checked up.
 Mike Lynch, now one of the pre- mier umpires in the city, was the catcher. There was none better in those days. In the pitchers box was Jimmy Riley and Charley Cleve- land. Both of these boys were smart twirlers and they were re- sponsible for many of the victories scored by the team.
 Lefty" Charland was on first base. He was a pretty fielder and . hard hitter. Pickles Swanson played second base. Pickles" conld still play a sweet game if he wanted to step out on the diamond The perennial youth. Red" Campbell was the third baseman and we need say nothing here at all about his ability as baseball player. They don't grow 'em these days like '"Red."
