|PROS' LAST CHANCE
| FOR HEAVY CROWN
Jones Leaves Field Almost
Barren-Sarazen's Club
viii Be Host.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

@HICAGO, July 25.-In %
"A sections of the United
Estates professional golfers
are whetting their games
for the qualifying tests through
which "a players will be nom1-
mated for the annual P. G. A.
championship that will be staged
over the Fresh Meadow Club,
Long Island, September 8 to Is.
Albert Gates, commissioner OF the
p. e. A., is working overtime to
complete the details for the quail
flying rounds and make this years
championship the best in the his
tory Of the professional associa-
ton.
The pros have an almost ideal system
of conducting their championship
which is the only professional match
play tournament in the country-they
qualify 81 in the Sectionals and that
field plays SO holes of medal play over
the Championship venue, after which
the low 80 dig into the match rounds.
This years P. @. A. championship
will be a hot and heavy dog fight. 1t i
the last chance of the professionals to
capture a title of more than ordinary
intrinsic worth. Professionals are
happy to win sectional titles and all
other odd events in which they may
compete, but the United States and
British opens and the P. G. A. title are
the only ones on which they can cash
with the public.
With Bob Jones holding the two ma
tional open championships it promises
to be a barren season for the majority
Of the pros, since not even the runner
up to the Georgian can capitalize to any
extent upon his performances. So all
of the top-ranking pros viii be cunning
for the p. @. A. championship and the
carnage on Long Island will be terrific,
Leo Diegel, who has won the cham
pionship for the past two years, needs
good rest before he can regain the
form that carried him to victory at
Baltimore and Los Angeles. The eagle
maker was very tired after Interlachen
and played anything but his best golf
in the open championship. Leo is far
better match than medal player and
perhaps with few weeks of rest he can
go to Fresh Meadow and take the boys
again.
The championship is to be played in

PERKINS FAVORED
TO WIN GOLF TITLE
Briton Shoots Great Round
to Reach Semi-Final of
Western Amateur.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~HICAGO, July 25.-T. Phillip
Perkins, the methodical Briton
~ today stood out as the heir
apparent to Don Noes west
ern amateur golf championship.
AS the tussle for the crown, dropped
by Moe yesterday. entered the semi
final round over the Beverly Country
Club course. he not only had the repu-
tation but q game that appeared in
vincible to his three rivals-Johnny
Lehman and Ira Couch Of Chicago, and
Bob McCrary Of Des Moines, Iowa.
Perkins, now o resident of New York
but still hope of Great Britain anna
teurs, toured the championship course
with a SO, two strokes under par, yes
terday to win a dramatic, uphill skir-
mish in the quarter finals against Jack
Westland, Chicago district champion.
1t was the best score ever carded on
the course even though officials refused
to accept it as course record because
1t was made In match play. But the
score and great comeback had its effect
and today he ranked as the man to
beat for the title.
amateurs today In the 36-hole quarter
final round was the same youth who
upset Moe one up, by sinking 35-
foot putt for O birdie three on the
thirty-seventh hole yesterday. A great
golfer in match play especially, Leh-
man was expected to give the bespec-
tacled Perkins hard fight but the
Briton was the heavy favorite.
The McCrary-Co Couch battle was some
what of a toss-up variety with the odds
slightly in favor Of the Iowan because
of his greater tournament experience
and his consistently brilliant fighting
qualities.
McCrary, twice transmississippi
champion, copied Perkins to win his
quarter final match from Gus Novotny
Of Chicago, 1928 runner-up, yesterday
Four down at the end Of the first 81
holes, he fired so many brides and pars
at Novotny that the Chicagoan finally
wilted and /. On the last nine holes
when the fighting Scot overlook his
rival he scored an even par 35.
Couch reached the semi-flnals with
ease, conquering Charlie Fish of Rock
ford, H., 6 and S. A spectacular "a,
two under par, on the out round of &he
afternoon match won for him.
Moe, weary after his golfing wars In
| England this Summer, never held q
lead on Lehman yesterday at any stage
of the long match. Five times he tied
the match but the birdie on the extra
hole sent him spinning from the throne
he won at Kansas City last year.
