COAST PROS LOOM
AS TITLE THREATS
Display Skill in Tuning for
Western and National
Open Journeys.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ AYTON, June l6.-The Dutra
brothers, Mortie and Olin, from
California, are here to COM
pete in the Western open golf
championship that starts Thursday, and
then the national open at Toledo. The
Dutra lads are q treat in this or any
other championship you may care to
mention although the gossips on Broad
way may not know them intimately.
The Dutras as you might imagine, are
OF Spanish descent They hail from
the Monterey Peninsula and grew up
as neighbors of the EspinoSa boys-an
six of them. Mortie and Olin are big
fellows; we'll over feet and with
shoulders that cramp the capacity of an
ordinary elevator. When they whale
into ball it travels; even the new
balloon ball.
Make Long Hole Easy.
The Miami Valley Club, where the
Western open will be played, has one
hole that measures 500 yards from tee
plate to cup. The dub player could
the Dutra boys were up there putting
for As in their practice round Monday
and shared easy S.
Out in California the Dutras have
high ranking and during the past
year have been playing mighty fine golf.
DIN will be candidate for the United
States Ryder Cup team when the elm
nations for the squad are held over
in Columbus next week.
With George ven Elm, the we'll
known business man golfer, they give
California very strong representation
in the Western and it's not impossible
that this major sectional championship
may go to the Pacific Coast fer the first
time when the firing is finished at
Miami Valley.
The Miami Valley course offers the
finest and most even green's this writer
has observed in several years. Big Ed
Dudley, who had a practice "a on the
second nine-a tough stretch-Says the
greens are good enough to eat without
salt.
Greens mean lot to any champion
ship and the man who has his putting
touch adjusted should do well in the
Western. The course is well trapped
and the rough is so tall that a stick OF
dynamite is the best known utenSil to
use for recovery shot. BY and large,
it's real golf course.
The Western will start with fine
field, for Tommy Armour, the new
British open champion, will be here for
another try at the championship he
had in 1929, and Walter Hagen has de-
cided the event Is worthy Of his atten-
ton. Johnny Farrell also is expected
and the fellow who can win from the
brigade that will tackle Miami Valley
would be a champion in almost any
competition. When the Western is over,
we shall know a bit more of the pro-
fessional's opinion on the new ball. For
Miami Valley is long enough, well
enough trapped and windy enough to
return fair verdict as to the practical
bility of the ball in the major cham
pionships.
