final round, too, it looked like cinch

the best start of any of his rounds,
but disaster was just ahead.
The eighth is a dogleg, 439-yard lay
out, with the green cunningly trapped
to absorb any shot that is of the line.
Jones hit what looked like perfect
iron to the green, but it hit near the
edge and rolled of into a trap. Ex-
ploding out, he shot the ball clear across
the green into another trap, then blast
ed back to just where he was before,
while the crowd gasped. He barely ex-
ploded in five and took two puts for
z. A birdie at the ninth saved
him a stroke, where his chip shot for
an eagle trimmed the cup, but he lost
ground and strokes steadily thereafter.
Three times he missed puts of 4 or S
feet for brides, but he was over the
green on the tenth as we'll as the thir-
teenth, two short holes that cost him
four each.
Then came the crowning blow, on the
fifteenth, where his drive landed in the
rough behind a tree He Clipped out
safely, but then shot his third well be-
yond the green, missed the chip back.

the cup and missed the putt. 1t was
another 7. Two great shots to the six
teenth were wasted by three puts, and
it took all the we'll known Jones pres
sure to save himself on the last two
holes.
Espinosa, after travelling out on his
last round in par figures, SO, was on the
verge of complete collapse as he lost
i've strokes to par on the tenth, eleventh
and twelfth. The climax was the
twelfth, par S layout, 497 yards. His
drive was hooked back of a trap Try
ing to get home, he used spoon and
landed in trap on the thirteenth fair
way. He took mongrel mashie and
reached his third trap. His nibhck
was short and he finally reached the
green in 5. Three puts completed the
catastrophe and gave him a weird g.
Any doubts about the stoutness of
Espinosa's courage were dispelled by
the way he settled down grimly to reel
off the last six holes in %, two under
par, the greatest finish of the day He
had brides on the sixteenth, as well as
seventeenth, and on the home green he
had close TO 20-foot putt for another
birdie that, as it turned out, would

M'CRARY UPSETS
MAYTAG IN Golf
Des Moines Youth Captures
Trans-Mississippi Title
in GrueIing Match.
BY PAUL r. NICHOLSON,


~ MAHA, Nebr., June 29.-Bobby
McCrary, fighting Scot from
Des Moines, Iowa, is the new
~ transmississippi golf champion.
Fighting strong south wind
that made. good golf almost impossible
and a more experienced opponent, he
captured the crown today by upSetting
Bud Maytag of Newton, Iowa, 2 and /,
in a gruelling 35-hole fight on the
championship Omaha Field Club course.
1t was his first golf victory of i'm
portance and 1t terminated his success
full march through four of the best
shot-makers of the tournament, which
started Monday. Too, it was natural
triumph for it was McCrary who showed
the defending champion, Arthur Bartlett
of Ottumwa Iowa, out of the cham
pionship round with a brilliant 2 up
victory on Thursday.
With terrific wind lashing the course
and making good golf almost impossible,
it was be dness that counted today and
the sandy Scotchman had the most OF
it and won. He spanked his drives
harder from the tees, pitched for one
putt and rolled his green strokes for
the lip of the cup Maytag, always a
careful player, took the ordinarily safe
method until he became almost hope
lcs-'y behind. Then, he too became
bold and fought valiant battle, but
the comeback started too late.
Maytag, a millionaire washing ma
chine manufacturer, excelled his youth
full and diminutive opponent in only
one department today, and that was
with his woods. Throughout the match
his drives split the fairway, while Nc
Crary's long clouts were alternately
long, 1.alat or wild.
The new champion was victorious be-
cause of his better play in the 18-hole
morning round He started out by
winning the first two holes with birdie
8 and a par and while he was tied at
the end of the first nine holes, he was
never headed.

Semi-final play for the Army singles
net title and the coveted Sheridan Cup
will get under way at 3 o'clock this
afternoon with Maj. r. G.. Van Vliet,
defending champion, facing Lieut.. John
w. Strahan, the Reserve Corps racketer
who captured the championship two
years ago, and Mai. Thomas Finley,
athletic officer at the United States
Military Academy, opposing Lieut.. E s..
Baker, also of the Reserve Corps.
Lieut.. Baker figured in one of the
two most spectacular matches of the
tournament yesterday when he played
Col. Wait G. Johnson, veteran Army
star to a standstill in a marathon con-
test of more than two hours duration
AS matter of fact, it was never COM
pleted, Col. Johnson conceding the
victory TO his youthful opponent after
he had carried the match to three sets,
bowing to Baker in the first, 6--3,
taking the second at 60, and ten
battling to 12-f2 tie in the third at
which point he called time.
Both Col. johnson and Lieut. Baker
were visibly worn by the long griYd,
but the colonel, who is noted for his
endurance. declared fiat had 1t not
been for badly blistered foot, he would
have fought 1t out to the finish. The
committee decided, in view of the cir
cumstances, however, to accept the
default, conceding the victory to Baker.
Third Set Endurance Test.
If there has ever been a more thrill
ing match played in an Army or other
local championship than that in which
these two displayed their wares yester-
day, the story of it has not been
recorded. Despite his So years, Col.
johnson rushed the net as is his usual
custom, scoring brilliantly on his over
head placements and skillful stop-shots.
Baker played mostly in the backcourt, on
the other hand. displaying equal bril-
lance in his line placements and his re-
markable recoveries. Not only was the
game score elongated, but each point was
an endurance test, especially In the crit
ical set. With the score standing set-all

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

out of all the field of nearly 30C
players who started in the Congress
siona1 tourney only seven contestants
were able to make SIS on the 623-yaro
tenth hole. Many of them played
through the rain, it is true, but In such
a stellar field 1t Is unusual that not
more than seven men scored 5S on this
hole. M. Parker Nolan had the highest
mark on the hole-a IA, scored when
he nut his fourth shot in the quarry
at the left and short of the green. He
reached the putting surface in IL shots
after losing bali in the fearsome
hazard.
"Why is it?" asks Walter W. Cum
ningham of Burning Tree, that can
play the local courses in the low 7Os,
sometimes drop into the COS, in friendly
matches and the minute I get In
big time competition my score runs
above 80?" Cunningham cites rounds
below 10 made at Burning Tree, Wash
ington and Town and Country as proof
of the contention that he can break
10 and play we'll In matches where
nothing in particular hangs on the
result.
He says that whenever he goes into
a big tournament he gets frightened up,
mentally and physically, and that he
is unable thereby to show his true
game. 'Why is it?" he walls. And
sRed" swears that in the next big tour
ney he enters he is going ato be loose
with all his shots and avoid that fatal
tightening-up process. But Cunning
ham is not alone.
Johnny Farrell did the same thing
in the first round of the open, tighten
ing up and hooking all his tee shots
until his score had run up to "a blows
for the opening round and his cham
pionship had gone away on by itself.
The next big tournament for the local
amateur brigade is the Sherwood Forest
event, which will be held during mid
July over the rugged course high above
the Severn River near Annapolis. The
following week will come the Maryland
Country Club invitation event. In both
tournaments a number of washington
players usually compete.
Charles w. Cole, jr., of Indian Spring,
who is student at George Washington
University. is spending the Summer far
away from scenes of bunkered fair
ways and tricky putting green's. As soon
as the Columbia tournament was over
Cole started west to meet a group of
youthful friends in the foothills of
bIIc ftOCklSS anu OuO JAnOuSAA
Colorado, Utah and New Mexico during
July and August. He will be back in
Washington in time to resume his
studies.
Milton D. Hine of Columbia does not
believe a hole is lost just because his
opponent happens to knock the ball
within five feet of the cup and his
own ball goes careening OF many yards
from the line to find billet in the
rough. Hine was playing the short
thirteenth at Columbia the other day,
and his opponent knocked his ball
within five feet of the cup. while Hines
tee shot was badly sliced into the fair
way on the hill at the twelfth. Being
of sanguine disposition, he pitched
the ball over mound into the cup to
win the hole with a birdie 2 when his
opponent missed the putt for the half.
