TINE big golfing trek to the Pacific
Coast this year, featured by the
amateur championship at Peb-
i bic Beach, September 2-7, is
another big chunk of evidence
that the trails of '49 still have much of
the ancient lure. The aim for conquest
is still the same, even though it happens
there are bunkers instead of gold in
those hills and valleys now, glory in
stead of riches as the principal reward,
at least for the simon-pure talent.
Later on, the professional clan Of the
links, after holding its own champion
ship IN December at Santa Barbara,
can take up the prospecting with assur-
ance of profitable results, to Judge from
the number of rich purses offered in any
number of open tournaments during the
California Winter campaign.
CECTIONAL pride and prejudice may
- have a few outpostS left in sport,
but they rapidly are being broken down
by such seasons as this, with the two
main golfng events of the year. the
open and amateur, staged on opposite
sides of the continent for the first time
in history.
The old barriers which for years kept
the big tournaments concentrated along
the Atlantic seaboard no longer exist.

the formerly exclusive sports of polo,
golf and tennis. No longer can one
section. East, South or West. claim any
super-share of the talent. although the
Far West may have leapt along trif1e
faster in recent years.
In the quest for the main fonors,
the star talent knows no restrictions.
Georgia Tech journeyed out to the
coast last Winter to trim California and
now Bobby Jones leads the big attack
along the hazardous shores of Pebble
ouer. There will be no barriers left in
foot ball season which will see Cali

ARLE CRANE of washington
l. started something when he
cleaned up the horseshoe pitch
IL ers of Montgomery County In
The Stars metropolitan tourna-
ment.
Warfare didn't end when Crane de-
feated the Bethesda champion. NJ. Z.
Peake, in the county final at Rock-
vile. There are Montgomery fans VINO
believe Peake, by and large, is the bet
ter pitcher.
His downfall was blamed on two
things He was inexperienced in pitch
ing by electric light and he lit his pipe
at the wrong time.
That pipe episode. some contend, was
an important factor in the battle.
Peake had won the first game quite
decisively. He appeared to have the
situation we'll in hand in the second
when his dudeen went out He stopped
to fire it. He pulled nightly and ex-
uded clouds of smoke that filed not
only the atmosphere about him but his
eyes They watered, It's said, and az
fected his vision.
That business of the pipe may sound
far-fetched" Peake adherent said to-
day, but it gave Crane just the break
he needed. Peake was thrown off his
game for a spell and Crane quickly
caught up This was important psyche
logically, too. Crane got close de-
cision in the second game and had to
fight all the way to come out on top in
the third
Peake. however, has offered no >alibi.
He is busy these days preparing for
second and more importent clash with
Crane. Both are qualified for the South
ern Maryland finals to be held at Rock
vile next Saturday. There is chance
that one or both will be eliminated early
and a match between them prevented.
Their rivals will be Merle Heilman and
RAYMOND Panholzer of Prince Georges
County and p Reklis and T. w. Posey
of Charles County.
In the event Peake and Crane do
not clash again in the tournament it
is likely they will be matched inde-
pendent of it. Montgomery fans crave
another battle. between them.
The title of resident county champion
has been conferred on Peake and that
of open champion given Crane. Each
will receive the regular county medal,
but the engraving will be different. Al
Hopping. who finished second to Peake
in the Silver Spring tournament. has
been declared resident town champion
and Crane the open title winner.
incidentally, in next years tourna-
ment. only residents Of Maryland will
be permitted to compete in that state
and the same rule will govern in Vir-
einia and Washington.
