Blu White Takes -Four Puts

more than 800 golfers who teed of in
the qualifying round of the tournament.
The fact that golfer was able to
reach the fifth green In two shots speaks
volumes for the condition of the course.
1t isn't done regularly even by the big
hitters of the game like Miller Stevin-
son and Harry Pitt. We. recall seeing
Jock Hutchinson hit two prodigious
drives in the open championship Of 1921
which reached that green in two. And
we watched Bob Jones try to do 1t in
the same championship and hook him
self over the fence right out of the title
chase. 1t has been done since-several
times-but it never has been accom-
plished unless the course was fast and
ground conditions were as they were
yesterday. Columbia was a fairly easy
golf course yesterday, and unless rain
softens 1t up the boys will be knocking
the ball around in unbelievable figures
before Saturday. Thirteen of the golf
ing gentry who started yesterday were
able to crack 80, which lends support
to our guess of yesterday that 10 would
be the qualifying limit in the first flight.
If rain falls on the starters today 1t will
Just be tough luck, for those below 80
will be almost certain to make the first
flight. And the boys who start today
will be holding the bag.
But even though the course was fast
1t was tricky. For Course Supervisor
Fits had crossed the lads and had cut
the greens down to almost razor-edge
keenness. They won't be any slower
today and their thickness will be just
the same. The fact that front tees were
in use didn't make it any harder.

ged Foot Club Are Digging Pitfalls for National Open Golfers
STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

That record-shattering card of 70
made by Mrs. L. o. Cameron at Chevy
Chase yesterday is undoubtedly the
finest bit of golf ever recorded by a
woman player about Washington under
any conditions. Playing In the final
round of the competition for the Sia-
mese trophy at Chevy Chase, Mrs.
Cameron, despite a on the first hole,
was out in Al and ended her match
tenth hole, and 5. She continued
the round, scoring 81 for the last nine
She used the blue tees, which are the
short ones at Chevy Chase. But Robert
Stead, jr., chairman of the Chevy Chase
golf committee, was right when he re-
marked that 70 for woman at Chevy
Chase is good golf from any set Of tees.
Seven or eight years ago Mrs. Cam
eron, who then played in many women s
tournaments. won the District women's
title over her own course, defeating Mrs.
F'ranck Hyatt, jr, in the final round
Mrs. Cameron has not played In many
local tournaments for several years. but
if she plays in the District women's title
event at Columbia next week, and plays
as she did yesterday, the reign of Mrs.
Dorothy White Nicholson is apt to come
to sudden end.
Such rounds as that of Mrs. Cam
eron, however, come but seldom to one
not in the very top flight of ranking wom-
en- players, and it is not to be hoped that
such pace could be maintained. Her
round Is fully on par with the round
of 65 made from the middle tees a few
days ago by Gene Larkin, assistant pro
at Chevy Chase, and certainly is the
best round of golf ever played by a
woman over a Washington course The
old record was IS, held by Mrs Emory
Smith, who as Mary Mccain, played in
the national championship of 1908.

popular member of the Beaver
Dam Club, describes the way he reached
the fifth green at Columbia in two shots
Yesterday. Stunts such as "Bill' White
pulled in the qualifying round of the
Columbia tourney are all too rare, for
1t takes tremendous distance and I'M
erring accuracy to knock the ball as
far as the fifth green at Columbia in
two pokes.
But, brothers, what a fall was Bills
after he got there. For, after those
two mighty swats, totaling some 545
yards, what did the boy friend do but
blew himself to a generous measure of
puts. Bills ball was not far on the
green. In fact, it was just about 2 feet
on the carpet; but that is no excuse,
according to the Beaver Dam golfer, for
the miserable putting exhibition that
followed. For generous Bill, always
aiming to do the big thing in a big
way, followed those two big wallops
with four bulky puts. Yes, he reached
the fifth green In two and holed out in
six. And they say golf is combination
of strength and dexterity. Bill had the
strength and the accuracy to knock
the ball 545 yards, but his dexterity
had gone clean out to sea. That loom
ing six was just one of the several bad
holes White had and one of the hun
dreds of bad holes that failed to be
enjoyed yesterday and today by the

1t seems great pity that Jess Sweet

Watts Gum failed to qualify, just as il
does that among the professionals who
failed are Cyril Walker. Mike Brady
and Abe Espinosa. Their absence viii
take bit of color from the picture
II it could be worked out, I should
like to see the eligible field expanded
automatically to include any former
champion. and then cut out after the
first days play. There is an inclination
in sport to exploit a champion a BIT
too much while he holds the title, and
forget him bit too quickly after he
loses 1t.
Before going to the country for q
rest, Babe Ruth has been keeping out
in the open air by occupying a box at
the games in which his club took part
at the Yankee Stadium. When some
comrade clouted the ball the Babe has
been breathing deep and then expell-
ing the air in the form OF gleeful yells
This exercise should be good for the re-
ported congestion of the lungs.
The Yankees appear to be overlook
ing bet. Why send Ruth to the coun-
try? Why not build him nice pent-
house on top of the Yankee Stadium.
Every time a foul ball fell in the pent-
graph 1t, toss it back, and the umpire
could auction 1t off. The receipts thus
obtained should prove considerable
source Of revenue.
The six-day boys at the Madison
Square Garden have taken the wheels
of bicycles and wheelbarrows and
strapped them to their feet. The long
distance roller skating contest is well
under way.
There is no doubt that some of the
competitors miss the handles When a
man on roller skates falls, he has moth
ing to which to cling. An extra balloon
tire, fastened in the proper spot, might
be of great benefit.
Foxx, Cochrane and Simmons of the
Athletics. have been among the five
leading hitters of their league and the
Athletics are out in front.
Herman, Bancroft and Hendrick have
been among the five leading batters in
the National, but Brooklyn is among the
trailers.
The Athletics have been leading in
club batting, and so have the Phillies,
but there Is some difference between
the teams.
The only figures which mean great
deal In base ball are those found in the
: columns. containing games won and
lost.
The Boston Braves have now tried
every apartment in the National League
from the roof to the basement Judge
Fuchs has many well wishers, but they
can't play base ball for him. There are
too many good teams In the race for the
Braves, whatever their spirit, to get
very far this season. It takes time to
build up ball club, as Connie Mack
will testify.
1t is rather strange that the clubs in
second place in both leagues have been
playing 800 brand of ball, without
being able to reach the top.
