4 practice before the American open
starts. and in that time should be
able to learn the course. do not be-
lieve in being on the scene too long IN
advance of the championship.
Who will win the open?
I do not know much about the situa-
ton, except that Horton Smith and l,
at the moment, are both playing we'll
we'll enough to make at least showing
at Winged Foot If we can keep up at
the present pace.
I have been putting especially well,
and in the last week I have tied two

the record at the Ridgewood Club

Hitting Ball Miles.
Horton is back on his steel shafts
again and hitting the ball miles. When
he first shifted over from the woods he
used in Europe he hooked little, but
he has his drive Strengthened out now
and with his tremendous distance will
be an asset there. My own driving Is
satisfactory In that have been very &C
as many excursions into the rough as
In some other years.
Concerning the remainder OF the
field do not look for any great change.
l feel pretty certain that when the
totals are stuck UP the top names will
be mostly the old familiar ones. think
that among the leaders will be Bill
Mehlhorn, Leo Diegel Johnny Farrell,
Horton Smith, Bobby Jones, Tommy
Armour, George Won Elm and Walter
Hagen. No one but q soothsayer can
say just what the order will be, but on
showings in this particular champion
ship Jones rates to win. Any 11andi

favorite.
Smiths Average Best.
If averages were considered, Horton
Smith would be the favorite, because
no golfer has ever won such flock of

skillful workmen. I should say that
these two and Miss Joyce Wethered the

seem to operate with the regularity of

groove in which to swing their clubs
and to have mastered their muscles so
they can keep their clubheads in that
groove.
Some Of the rest Of us are not so

for an inspiration or for something to
hit us, so we can go out and make the
shots we are thinking about. That is all

MCCARTHY MAY PASS
OPEN, DEFEND TITLE

There will be at least one angry pro-
fessional in the New York district If
Maurice J. Mccarthy does not play in
the national open championship at
Winged Foot next week. And the
angry pro is likely to be none other
than Mike Brady, runner-up for the
title in 1919 who holds down the pro-
fessionsl berth at Winged Foot.
1t comes about in this way. Mike
missed a 6-foot putt TO win his way
into the open championship in the
qualifying rounds last week. And Nc
Csrthy qualified. AS the intercollegiate
championship. which title Mccarthy
now holds, will be played at the Holly
wood Club Of Deal, N. j., next week, at
the same time as the open champion
ship Mccarthy undoubtedly will elect
to defend his intercollegiate title, and
in so doing will not be able TO play in
the open, If he goes into the eni-final
of the intercollegiate, which he I'M
doubtedly will DO.
So one quslifler will thereby be de-
prived Of place in the open champion
ship and 1t will be Mike Brady, unless
the U S. @. A. decides that since Nc
Carthy cannot play Brady should be
given the place.

CALIFORNIA CREW
SEEN AS BARRIER
Eight Which Defeats Golden
Bear Seems Sure to Win
Hudson Race.

BY the Associated Press.
HOUGHKEEPSIE N. Y, June 10.
- Advance calculations on the
intercollegiate Rowing Associa-
l. ton regatta here next Monday
have it that the winner of the
four mile grind will be the eight that
beats California.
The Golden Bears, winners of the
championship last season and Olympic
title holders as we'll, have impressed all
observers during their workouts here.
A fine time trial has led the experts to
believe that Coach KY Ebright has just
as good crew this year as he had last
when the Californians broke the d.
year-old record for the Poughkeepsie
course.
However. Eastern fans are not yet
ready to concede the championship to
the West Coast again. They are bank
ing on young Rich Glendon's Columbia
eight or Jim Wray's powerful Cornell
boatload to uphold Eastern prestige
Most observers content themselves with
the opinion that the race again will be
duel between California and Columbia
with the result toss-up.
Although beaten by Yale during the
Sprin@ season, Cornell is being given
more than an outside chance to lead
the field of nine across the finish line.
There is no doubling that Wray has a
better eight this season than any IN re-
cent Cornell rowing history.
Yesterdays sitting heat again held
the days workouts to minimum. Co
lumbia, out early. raced against time
for q mile and made a fine showing.
Syracuse wound up long pull up
stream with a racing finish and Cornell
covered six miles over the course to the
big red boathouse. Pennsylvania took
only a light paddle in the early evening.
"Old Dick" Glendon, the Navy men
tor, seems to have hit upon a varsity
combination that satisfied him. His
shift of Monday probably will be per-
manent Mike Murphy still is en-
gagged in experimentation with the Wis
consin varsity and has not yet found
the answer TO all his troubles.
Bill Haines, coach of Massachusetts
Tech, announced he expected no time
trials for the Engineers until tomorrow.
