uccess of Jones in Golf Likely to Dull His Competitive Spirit
-Four Capital Pros Are Playing
In Penn State Open Golf Euent

And, by the way, the correct dope
on Winged Foot with regard to those
small putting green's Is that they are
not the infinitesimal affairs they have
been pictured. The green's are OF
average size-in fact, many of them are
huge But they are so cut up by traps
shooting in and odd angles that they
look small from the tee shot. The
greens are tight, which, in the jargon
of the golfer. means they are closely
trapped. From the front, particularly,
they are tight, but ball struck to the
middle of the green will hold.
That, according to Fred Mcleod, is
what beat the Washington entrants in
the tourney. For Mcleod Is not quite
long enough from the tee to play
mashie for his second shot on some of
those long par 4 affairs. He must play
a long iron where the longer hitterS
play mashies. And so his ball had to
come in to the green with a run, while
the other contestants pitched their
shots directly to the green. The, result
was that his ball, even il slightly off
the line, found a trap. while some of
his long shots ran over the greens,
which were kept well watered to hold
pitch shot.
But up at Whitemarsh Valley In the
Penn open conditions are different.
That course Is not as tight as Winged
Foot, for the second shots are mucn
more open. The Pennsylvania open
may produce a winner in one of the
Washington pros who are In there to-

w WASHINGTON golf clubs, and
n particularly the Chevy Chase

representation in the Penn
sylvania State open CHAM
pionship event, which began today over
the course of the Whitemarsh Valley
Club of Philadelphia.
Fred Mcleod, veteran Columbia Coun-
try Club professional; Bob Barnett,
sorrel-topped pro at the Chevy Chase
Club: his assistant, Gene Larkin, and
little Danny Burton, the red-headed
aide to ailing amateurs and pros, who
tried hard to bring Gene Larkin through
at Winged Foot, are playing IN the
tourney.
For Mcleod and Barnett the tourney
is an old story. For Larkin and Bur-
ton the event will be an argosy OF ad-
venture. The tournament Is the first
big affair in which Danny Burton
ever has played and is one Of the few
big-time affairs in which Larkin has
been starter.
Larkin and Burton were seen at
Winged Foot after Gene had failed to
qualify, and both felt pretty blue about
the golf of Larkin. But when it was
pointed out that such golfers as Farrell
had failed to qualify for the last days
play and that such players as Hagen
Horton Smith, Diegel and Mac Smith
had been conquered by the rigors of
the course, both the redheads perked
up and avowed that Winged Foot Is

the opening set, winning three games

Little chips and pitches, played
with the wrists. give the average
golfer lots of trouble. He Is In
clined to let the club get bit away
from him on the backswing as he
has no guide to determine how lar
back to take his club.
One of the best ways employed to
handle this problem is quite com-
monty used by many of the leading
golfers. They grip the club with
the left hand SO its thumb is down
the back of the leather. With this
thumb they automatically stop the
backswing. You see as you take the
club back with the wrists only
you'll find that the left thumb. so
placed, will soon stop the backswing
for you. You can't take it any far
ther back. So, you automatically
prevent overswing and wobbling and
have firm left wrist to hit with.
Eddie Loos plays it that way.
