break.
tional open championship. to be played
over the famed Inverness course near
Toledo, on July 2, and 4, will see a
couple of little fellows starting off at
9:25 on the opening day of the cham
pionship and at 1885 on the second
day. They will look like pair of cad
dies suddenly grown into long pants for
the occasion, and some one Is sure to
ask, What are those boys doing in
this tournament"
Then there will be hurried recourse
to the starting sheet and finally some
one else will answer in an awed whis-
per: "That little fellow with the cap
Is Freddie Mcleod. He who won the
championship in 1908. He is playing
with Larry Monies, the Filipino"
That's the kind Of break Freddie is
to get after long years of watching the
big boys pole 'em out. Freddie finally
has been paired with some one his size
In the open championship and he won't
be breaking his back trying to keep
level with the lengthy wallops of the
big men.
Larry Monies, according to Mcleod,
Is fine chap and fine player, and
even better for Freddie, he is about the
height and size of the Columbia mentor.
Mcleod, you know, tips the scales at
about 125 pounds on hot day, and he
reaches up toward the stratosphere only
about feet 4 inches. Monies is about
the same height and is even lighter
than Freddie, and the little Scot from
North Berwick is looking forward to a
good time knocking the ball around
Inverness with a man of his own physi-
cal characteristics.
Back in the old days Freddie used to
be paired on occasion with "Nipper"
Campbell or Wilfred Reid, men who
were about his size. But of late years
Freddie has been drawing none but the
big men, like Jim Barnes, who tops 6
feet, or Bob Macdonald, or Walter
Hagen, who is not so small, or men of
like size, who knock the golf ball long
way and have Freddie struggling to
keep up with them from the tee.
Monro Hunter, the big man from
Indian Spring, is paired on the opening
day of the championship with Art
Straub Of Bloomfield, N. j., at $50, and
on the second day with the same player
db IL HOOn. Al f1OugnUOn OF LIle Ken
wood Country Club, the other qualifier
from Washington, is paired at 2:25 and
l1:l5 with George Dernbach of Floss
moor, near Chicago. Tommy Armour
is to play with Henry Cotton the ir-
repressible one from England, while
George Voigt, former Capital amateur,
Is paired with Marcus Churio, an Argen-
tine.
THERE were no scores kept in that
L friendly golf joust yesterday at
Washington, but judged by the
countenanceS Of the more than 800 men
who braved blazing sun, the golfers
OF the host club who entertained and a
group Of Columbia members had a
bang-up time. Notwithstanding the
heat Of the day, some played 36 holes.
No scores were kept and no one was in
terested in the result of the total team
match. A return engagement will be
played at Columbia several weeks hence.
