IOWANS BATTLING
FOR L|NKSLAURELS
Millionaire and Bond Sales
man Meet for Title on
Trans-MisSissippi.
BY PAUL r.. NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ MAEIA, Nebr., June "a mil
lionaire and a young strug-
Cling bond salesman, both
~ hailing from Iowa. were
matched today in the final So
hole battle for the ns-MisSissippi
amateur golf championship. The mil
liona1re was Bud Maytag, the big wash
ing machine man from Newton, and
his rival for the crown was little Bob
McCrary Of Des Moines, one Of the
greatest pitch-shot artists in the royal
and ancient game.
So identical has been their brand of
golf throughout the long tournament
that there was little to choose between
them today. Both are steady players;
both came to the tournament as out
siders in the championship calculations
and both arrived at the championship
round by defeating the best golfers in
the competition.
Maytag jumped into the final round
yesterday by routing Larry Moller, the
kid" golfer from Quincy, ILL.,, 8 and q.
and McCrary assured Iowa Of the next
champion by overwhelming his feat, up
setting Nathan Grimes, the tournament
medalist from Denver, by the lopsided
margin of 10 and 8. The day previous
the little Scotchman from Des Moines
startled the galleryites and scored the
most stunning upset of the tournament
by eliminating his former teacher and
the defending champion, Arthur Bart
lett OF Ottumwa, Iowa, 2 up.
In their victorious marches yester-
day each turned in golf Of the better
than-perfect variety. Maytag was one
under par for the 20 holes he was
forced to travel in defeating Moller
while McCrary was one under perfect
figures for the 81 holes he took to tame
the Denver favorite.

Steuinson Wins Congressional
Tourney From Peacock by I Up

seen anywhere, and the shot that
showed the youngsters backbone was
all that 1t should be.
Fail to Reach Green.
The eighteenth was anti-climatic.
Both tried to reach the green from the
tee and both failed, Stevinson because
he couldn't (as he said afterward) get
the right stance on the wet tee, and
Peacock because he failed to tee his
ball high enough to get the elevation
necessary to get home on that big up
slope. Peacock had a 12-footer for
birdie 3, but he hit the ball weakly, and
failed to get up, and Stevinson, who
might have made had he needed it,
tapped his ball to the side of the cup,
picked up both balls and shook hands
with his youthful rival.
We've seen many golf shots-great
ones, too--but we've never seen two
greater shots than that pair made on
the seventeenth green yesterday. under
conditions that might have broken the
spirit Of Bob Jones.

1 4 along the Atlantic seaboard
were riding in the saddle today
as Miller B. STEVENSON of Columbia
looked back over the final of the Con-
gressional Country Club tourney yes
terday, which he won on the eighteenth
hole to be the fourth man to get his
name on the treasured cup. presented to
the club by President Hoover.
STEVENSON knew, as he looked out over
the sad sea waves at Atlantic City to-
day, that he was in a rough, tough bat
tie with q rugged youngSter who has
backbone. If Roger Peacock, the Indian
Spring lad whom Stevinson beat on the
final green only after the hardest kind
of plugging, had lacked grit, the place
to show it was at the seventeenth hole
Of yesterdays match. For here the 49,
year-old youngster, in his first big-tine
final. was down to the veteran District
amateur champion. And Stevinson stuck
up high mashie shot which Peacock,
even though he was 125 yards away and
couldn't see the hole, knew was right
up against the pin. Did the lad wilt and
curl up? He certainly did not
Makes Great Shot.
That sturdy kid, who only a year or
so ago took unto himself the long trous-
ers of budding manhood, stuck one up
which was almost as close as Stevinson's
magnificent shot. Yes, Roger, facing
certain defeat II he failed to get the ball
dead and secure birdie g. knocked it
toward the flag so effectively that his
putt for the birdie was only feet long
But Stevinson also has the stuff to
win. He has shown 1t before, on count
less occasions. Yesterday. in q situation
that was crucial in the extreme. he
came through with a shot that marked
the real turning point of the match
Possibly not many in the small gallery
that watched the play knew it was the
turning point. 1t came on the fifteenth
hole, after Peacock had just won the
fourteenth to square the match and
had knocked out a great tee shot $50
yards down the middle of the fifteenth
fairway.
When STEVENSON pushed his drive into
the high grass at the right Of the fair
way. 1t appeared that he was to 20 /
down, for that shot to tightly bunkered
green from deep rough is not the easiest
shot in the world. But Stevinson did
not falter. He hit the ball to the near
edge Of the green. The ,youngster, in
deed, was lucky to get half In 4, for
he left himself a tricky three-footer
after fine pitch to within IL feet Of
the pin
Had Peacock won that hole he prob
ably would not have done what he did
on the short sixteenth. For here he
half topped his mashie shot and the
ball skidded gayly over that pocket
handkerchief green, while Stevinson,
heartened by his opponents mistake,
crashed one to the exact middle of the
putting surface. Stevinson won the hole
with a par to go / up.
Then came that seventeenth and two

What's the rub? Why such a
freak result? Gene Sara2en once
told me the cause. The golfer who
gets this unfortunate line to his iron
shots and has a perfect dirot has not
hit through with a straight left arm.
True, his left did the down swing
work entirely. But as it was bent at
the elbow when contact was made
with the ball, the face OF his club
was not perpendicular to the line he
wished to drive. Even though his
club head followed this line a. con-
tact; Its open face caused the ball to
