Rise of Voigt in Golf World,
Despite Handicaps, Is Amazing

Vallee, either, for ne has a really good
tenor voice.
And we have 1t restated by the same
authority that the golf solons of Wash
ington are regarded with a good deal
of animosity by well-wishers Of Voigt
for their attitude toward him.
What q contrast 1t must be for Voigt
as he Views in memory those days
around Washington from 1924 to 1928
Coming Here Soon.
All golfers know how Voigt came
within an ace of winning the United
States amateur championship at pebble
Beach last Fall when Jimmie Johnston
the present champion, went 70 the
thirty-ninth hole to beat him in the
semi-final and how he had the great
Jones almost put away to later flop and
lose out. And when they consider the
humble beginnings of this same George
Voigt they must recall the hullabaloo
that came up in 1927 when the District
Golf Association declared him not
eligible to play in the District amateur
championship because he had acted
"in a manner detrimental to the best
interests" Of the game. They also recall
how an independent inquiry by the
United States Golf Association failed
to substantiate similar charges by the
parent golf body against the Washing
ton lad and how Voigt, after a winning
Winter in the South, shook the dust OF
Washington from his shoes to make his
home in New York
They remember how Voigt won every
major tournament about Washington
over a three-year stretch, how he came
from the public links. later joined the
Bannockburn Club and how he was
the kingpin of the amateurs about the
Capital for so long that 1t looked a.
If no one could beat him.
His rise from humble post in the
Government service in 1925 to a good
income in New York and recognized
great golfer is one of the epics of the
game But even more remarkable Is
his social rise and the attitude OF
golfers outside of Washington toward
him.
The phenomena is interesting, to say
the least.
Voiet will be in Washington shortly
to play in an exhibition match for the
benefit of Bobby McWatt.

|HESE days of fast courses are
good for the short hitters who

the tee when the ground is soft
and mushy. Yesterday at Washington
V. Calvert Dickey, known as the man
without a slice" negotiated the tortu-
Gus Washington layout in "A strokes,
getting enough distance from the tee
to have a chance at a birdie on most
of the holes, and just the other day at
Congressional Clarence B. Murphy, q
man who claims no great distance from
the tee, shot the Congressional course
in 70 strokes, which is by way of being
one better than par.
Fast fairways and slow putting greens
spell low scores for the shorter hitters,
and sometimes mean disaster for the
big hitters whose lengthy tee shots
bounce into bad spots If little Of the

usually good putters.

George j. Voigt, once typewriter re-

Two facts stand out today with re-

haired chap who might today be the
amateur champion of the United States
and Great Britain had not one or two
things happened. These are that the

toward Voigt, now has taken him into
it's arms and established him not alone
as one of the finest golfers In the world,
but one of the most popular club
swingers.

We learn from newspaper men and
from golfers generally around New York
and other cities where Voigt has shown
his wares, that the erstwhlle public
links star Of Washington today Is re-
garded as man who has suffered with
out squawking The world loves a win
ner and fighter, and George is both.
We have 1t on the best of authority
that Voigt today is one of the most
popular and respected golfers on both
sides of the Atlantic; that he has en-
deared himself to all his mates on the
Walker Cup team and Is particularly a
favorite In Scotland, where his sound
golf and accomplishing manner won
him q host of friends In Scotland he
roomed with Francis Ouinlet, and on
the crossing Of the Atlantic, Voigt was
one of the most popular of the mem
bers of the team. Our authority says
that no gathering was complete with
out him, that no group pictures were
taken without George, and that no sing
ing bunch could be arranged without
Georges grooming tenor. And in sing
