Chips and Puts
Out KenwOOd Way

THOSE hard greens, especially on
l. the first nine holes at Kenwood
Golf and Country Club, had the
many visiting pros wild yesterday IN
the first round of the initial National
Capital open golf tournament. Many
a perfect shot to the green netted the
player nothing but trouble when the
bail bounded across instead OF stick
ing. There was much wailing and
crashing of teeth by the suffering
links gentry.
Tommy Armour, the lanky Scot from
Tam oShanter, reeled off the first
10 holes in 80, then stubbed his toe.
He sunk a chip for 2 on the
tenth, but was over the green with
his second at the twelftS Snd holed
out in 6. He required for the
thirteenth and finished with on the
eighteenth.
Sandy Armour was not himself at
all. but he pulled a fine one on the
225-yard sixth. There he hooked
from the tee to within feet OF the
cup and sank the short one for a
birdie. That was his day.
Sinking short puts was not done
regularly, however. There was some
smart dropping of long ones, but
almost every competitor in the tour
ney found the hard greens very
tricky when close to the cup.
Ed Dudley and Billy Howell were
out of the trap at the sixth in fiashy
manner. Dudley escaped for deuce,
while Howell blasted for a g.

DILL WOOD figured he would have

but the club he figured to win isn't
the leading team flying the Lucky
Strike colors.
The Meyer Davis chieftain liked the
chances of his King Pin outfit, but 1t
has been Bills namesakeS, the Bill
Woods, who have been making all the
noise.
With Sarah Updike leading them on
with 3l8. the Woods nosed out a stable
mate the Meyer Davis crew, in all
three games last week to take second
place in the race headed by Rendez-
vous.
HAVING met and conquered Takoma

stacle in their path toward the Ma
tional Capital League pennant when
they tackle Farnan's Bowling Shoes

Cunningham got a jump on his field
both figuratively and literally. He was
in the second starting group yesterday,
going out before the sun had burned
the frost from the putting greens.
Playing with Louis Fuchs, an unat-
tached professional, the sorrel-thatched
little Burning Tree assistant covered
the first nine in IS, 1 over par, and
literally burned up the second nine for
another 35, under par, to finish the
round with par figure.
His score was turned in shortly after
II o'clock, and withstood the assaults
of the internationally famous golfers
who played behind him under much
better weather conditions.
MacFarlane, winner of the National
Open in 1925, was over the first nine in
the same total as Cunningham, but
was not able to hold the pace over the
second nine and finished with 81 for

Cunningham JoIts Dope.

Cunningham performance was a
jolt to all the dopesters gathered at
the club, as the lad never has shown
golf of similar character even in the
minor tournaments in which he has
competed.
A gallery of small proportions in the
early morning slowly increased to scat
tered groups totalling about 1000, who
watched such players as Sarazen, Far
rell, Armour and Tom Creavy vainly
attempt to match the score made by
the comparatively unknown kid from
Burning Tree.
Tommy Armour, holder of the British
Open Championship, for time ap-
peared on the way to one of the scintil-
lating rounds for which he is famous.
Splitting the pin from tee to green,
Tommy found his putter behaving badly
and after getting out in SO took AZ
for the last nine and a score of rs.
Cards of 70 qualified for the final
day of play today, with one amateur
Everett Eynon of Columbia, who scored
80, making the sixty-first player who
was to start today. Eynon was inserted
in the starting list to make the requisite
number of amateurs to play for the five
amateur prizes put up by the club.

Caldwell of the Hillendale Club of Bal

Caldwell came Billy Howell, who con-
fessed TO only one game of golf since
he went back to Washington and Lee

Next to Cunningham among the local
pros were Mel Shorey and Archie Clark
at rs. while several of the other local
pros were strung out at 76 and IT,
Keen putting green's and a slight
wind which blew up in the afternoon
thwarted the hopes of many of the

APPLE SURPLUS
IS PROBLEM

RICHMOND, Va, June %.
Commercial apple growers of Vir-
ginia expect to harvest a crop of
approximately 100000 barrels
this season, according to w. S.
Campfield, secretary of the Vir-
ginia State Horticultural Society.
but what to do with them is a
problem, leading growers say.
Among new restrictions facing
growers and shippers is the decree
of the Argentine government re-
quiring that each apple be
wrapped, and if one is found to
contain insects the entire ship
ment may be destroyed at the ex-
penSe of the shipper.
With foreign markets almost
closed for part of the season, or
shipments hedged about by al
most prohibitory restrictions, it
was said growers probably would
devote ther energies toward pro-
ducing high quality of fruit and
storing it until conditions become
more favorable.
The commercial crop in the
Winchester district is expected to
be around 100000 barrels.
