Roger Peacock, With l52, Wins
d. c. Junior Golf Championship

|THERE were both an oficial hero
and an ofdcial goat" at the
District junior Championship
L yesterday. Young Roger Pea
cock, the fine golfing and equally
nne l8-year-old son Of Harry Peacock
Of Silver Spring and winner Of the title,
was the hero. Little Johnny Baer, son
Of former Representative Baer, who
boasts IL years on this planet and golf
game that looks as If he had been play
ing since he was born, was the goat"
But then Johnny was the goat" only
because he Is not connected with q
member club of the District Golf Asso-
citation.
The little youngster, barely as tall as
the driver ne swings with such ease and
nonchalance, came out to Town and
Country yesterday hoping he might be
permitted to play In the junior title
chase. Good hearted "Bilr' Barr, Sec
rotary of the District Golf Association,
and q man who Is fond Of young Amer
lea In knee pants. listened long and ju-
dicially to the boys plea that he be ale
lowed to play.
But Bill couldn't waive the rule which
states that all entrants must be mem
bers Of District Golf Association Clubs
or sons Of members. SO Johnny had to
be content to play couple Of rounds
of golf with his brother and Sam Leidy
Of Town and Country. And at that he
didn't do so badly. He was around in
81, which was considerably better than
many Of the lads many years his senior
were able to do.
Roger Peacock won the tournament
and the championship over the 36-hole
route with q double round card of 152.
which is IL above par for the layout at
Town. and Country. But Roger played
very fine golf, outsteadying his field over
the last nine holes when it seemed as
II at least two youngsters were about to
catch and pass him.
MY putting was pretty good" Roger
said. 81 don't mean that holed any
long ones. But felt right on the putt
ing green and didn't miss any holeable
short ones"
On the other hand, Byrn Curtiss, the
tall, pleasant-faced runner.up with the
fine southpaw swing. who halls from
Indian Spring, as does the new cham
pion. can blame his putting on the SIX
teenth and seventeenth holes for failing
at least TO tie. Curtiss missed o putt

Foxy gets astonishing distance"
Mack told me. Naturally possessed OF
a good, easy swing, he seems to get
more into his drives than any player
on the team. When he gets hold OF
one squarely it continues to rise long
after you expect it to drop. Some of
our players hit just as hard without
clearing any barriers, but when Foxy
rides one the first thing you know 1t
Is out of the park"
The answer is that Foxx gets
cover spin" on the ball to produce
I extra distance. That is one reason
j why Wilson's drives usually OUT
carry those Of Hornsby and Ste
phenson, in the opinion OF Joe Nc.
: Carthy, the Cub boss.
"All are terrific hitters," said Joe,
Wbut Hack clears fences that none Of
the other reach. The over-spin adds to
the carry. Wilson's hardest drives con-
tinue to rise when balls hit just as
hard by other batters drop into some
outfielder's hands"
Wilson. who got his nickname from
resemblance to the former Russian
Lion" Hackenschmidt, puts plenty of
weight into his clouts. Hack is built
closer to the ground than Fox, a
rangy youth with the sort Of shoulders
q foot ball fullback would envy.

be the champion today. Had he holed
only one Of them he would have tied
with Peacock. But as 1t was, he missed
both Of them and lost by single stroke.
So close do these Washington juniors
play. Roger lea the field over the first
half Of the 36-hole stretch with a. fine
card of rs. Close behind him were
Byrn CuYtiss and Tommy Webb of
Washington. each with 76S.
And four shots away was Charles w.
Cole, jr., Of Indian Spring, with 10.
From the end Of the FIRST round 1t was
plain that the title lay between this
quartet. for no one else was playing
golf Of suffifnciently good caliber to
catch them. When Roger took Al to
go out over the third nine, and Cur
tiss was out In 80 it appeared that the
Peacock balloon had risen, not to come
down again until too late.
But after the turn the youngsters
buckled down to serious business, and
breezed him with a sparkling SO. His
z on the sixth hole OF the final round
came when he poled one out of bounds
and then found the ditch In front Of
the green.
Curtiss had several chances. At the
fifteenth he missed the green with his
second shot and blew o 10-footer for
his 4. His missed puts on the six
tenth and seventeenth also hurt.
Here Is Peacock's winning score, with
mar for the cOllrGp.

mark. Whatever happens, the tourney
a week from today is certain to be an
interesting affair.
Mason has sent notices Of the tourna-
ments to all the local clubs, and hopes
for q large entry list. 1t d q sure bet
that If all the eligible golfers competed,
those entry lists Of 800 and more that
have signalized the Columbia tourna-
ments for a stretch of several years
would be backed of the boards by the
size of the entry in this first buffers
event.
A record in putting green construc-
ton has just been set at the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps Country Club,
where Mai. r. D. Newman, the course
architect, planted the new ninth green
to bent grass two weeks ago and the
green will be ready for play in another
fortnight.

~ NE Of local golfdom's great ex-
periments Is to come UP for
trial a week from today.
Out at the Congressional
Country Club, there is tour
nament committee chairman who has
insisted for the last four or five years
that the usual invitation tournaments
are top-heavy affairs; that the prizes
in the major flights are always dis
tributed among a small group of not
more than a dozen and that the char
acter Of the formal invitation golf event
is more or less a cut-and-dried affair.
His name is Guy Mason and he holds
that the fellow with the high handi-
cap-the chief supporter of golf and
one around whom much of the main
drama of the game centers.
So Mason has decided to give the
"duffer" q break in the form Of q
golf tournament for high handicap men.
Possibly some of them may object to
being called buffers" But when it
Is accepted that q man whose handicap
Is down around or is an expert"
then the fellows whose handicap is
four or five times this figure must be
"duffers"-or something akin to that
anomalous word. In this attempt to
give the buffers a break, Mason has
been aided and abetted by none other
than Whitney Leary, himself a duffer
of couple years back, but golfer who
is rapidly climbing out Of the high
handicap class.
Leary has put up the chief prize for
the tournament, and Mason is running
it-a pair Of golfng gents whose main
ambition q year or so back, WIS to
break 100. the tournament differs
from any invitation golf affair ever held
about washington, In that the minimum
handicap restriction is 40 strokes. IF
q man boasts O handicap OF 10 or bet.

At Congressional Next Week

ter he cannot play In this affair at
Congressional. But the tourney is wide
open for those golfers who have. handi-
caps Of 20 and more. The experts"
will not be in this affair. Their turn
will come two weeks later over the same
course, when the best Of the local
see who shall be the 1929 District
amateur title holder, and the chances
are favorable for Miller B. STEVENSON to
retain his crown.
No tournament about Washington
ever was wider open than this coming
event of Mason's at Congressional. No
"duffer" can be called an outstanding
favorite to win. OF their scoring ability
little Is known. for few people pay
much attention to scores of 100 or more
And they don't get much publicity. al

WHEN Kiki Cuyler was with Pitts
w burgh one Of the sources of his
disputes with the Pirate management
was over his position in the batting
order. Kiki thought he was better of
in third place, but DOME Bush figured
otherwise and made a shift.
Now Cuyler is batting fifth in the
Cub list and playing one of the best
games of his career. There Is no de-
bate on the subject whatever, so long
as Joe Mccarthy is running the Wrig-
ley machine.
Hornsby was batting fourth in the
lineup until around the middle of July,
but the climb Of the Cubs began after
Mccarthy made the switch which
placed Hornsby third and Hack Wilson
in the cleanup position.
