YOUNGSTERS COME
into THEIR ESTATE
Scoring Indicates New Ball
Will Make Little Change
in Match Totals.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

HERE are many strangers
listed among the 81 who
i qualified through the vari-
Gus sectional tests for the
United States national open golf
championship at Toledo, July "a.
They represent, for the most part,
young players just coming ON to
their game and preparing to make
things warm for the old-line ia
voriteS.
In the Chicago sector, Kuly schlicht
of Madison, Wis, finished third in a
large field and there was little to criti-
CHE in his rounds Of 72-76. Tom
Cooley, ]. Vannortwick and Herbert
Shanheimer, three amateurs of no wide
spread renown, were among the Is TO
make the grade in the Chicago tryouts
when Chick Evans and Jock Hutchinson
failed.
New Names in New York.
To most golfers the names of John
Kinder, Herman Rama, August Nord-
one and Alex Watson Of the New York
district arouse no familiar memories,
yet they qualified while such famous
stars as Willie Macfarlane and Cyril
Walker, both former champions, were
left on the outside. Joe Pazzulo Of
Wanumetonomy, r. l., never before has
disturbed the headlines and for the
sake OF accuracy and telegraphers
nerves 1t will be just as well that Joseph
shorten his name and change his
address. Wanumetonomy has no place
IN golf, unless it is used as a bunker.
Buzz" Campbell of Philadelphia,
Benny Pautke Of Detroit and John
Schuebel Of Camden, N. j., are another
Bob Jones. Hagen, Sarazen or Farrell
in the past. But the newcomers must
have the shots, since they edged q
bunch of better known players out of
the championship. But what's the idea
OF still calling golf the Scotch game"
Espinoza Likes New Ball.
Scoring in several Of the sectional
trials indicates that the new ball will
make little difference in the winning
totals Of the national open. Al Espi-
nosa, who has claimed all along that
the new ball scored well, put the Chi
cago field to flight with a 70-65 and
led the entire country.
Playing the Medinah course in q st!ff
wind. EspinoSa found much use for his
No. iron, but hit his shots dead on the
pin and rolled puts down from all ranges.
EspinoSa'S game showed the results of
his consistent practice since the end
OF the Winter season and the Castilian
IS going, to be hard man to nag at
Inverness.
Witty Cox Of Brooklyn, who was COM
up up all through the Winter had the
best single round recorded when he
blistered the Westchester Country Club
for "a. Cox is q veteran, but capa-
bic Of brilliant play and If he can get
away to good start at Inverness will
worry the entire field.
The amateur threat in the open will
not be serious with Jones missing, but
will be present in a minor degree with
T. Phillip Perkins, Johnny Lehman and
George Dawson carrying the banner of
the simon pures.s Perkins has been
consistent winner in amateur events of
the past Winter and the Spring and Is
getting his game around to the point
where he Is dangerous medalist.
The field at Inverness will number
slightly more than $50 with the SO
players who qualified automatically BY
reason Of their play last year or as
foreign entries. With IA British pro-
feSsionals and four Argentines in the
championship it will have the greatest
international flavor Of all national open
championships and from such a col
lection OF stars a worthy and capable
successor for Emperor Jones should
easily be found.
