- ANDY ARMOUR, the great putter
of Congressional, who wields a
trenchant putting blade called
"Spark-Plug," has just had
rude awakening on this business OF
knocking a golf ball into the cup.
Sandy, be it known, is rated one OF the
finest putters in the game. He strokes
the ball with an ancient woodensaafted
weapon with a metal blade fully eight
inches long, but how he strokes 1t. He
rolls them in from anywhere and every
where. Many times we have heard
professionals remark that If Tommy
Armour-Sandy's brilliant protner-
could putt like Sandy, he would WIN
almost every tournament he enters. But
Sandy admits he's just beginner at
this putting thing, after Watching the
exhibition Ray Karcher ana Carr
Weigle put on against him at congress
sional.
Sandy Armour is not what is com
monly known as a "squaWker." He Is
the first to give credit to the man who
makes a fine shot, for like all students
Of the game he recognizes well played
stroke. And so Sandy was the f1rst TO
remark that all the puts that rolled in
from the blades of Karcher and Weigle
were good puts and we'll deserved puts.
But when play the five short holes
on our course in a total of IA strokes.
says Sandy, II don't expect to lose them.
They did some grand putting -karcher
and Weigle-and although got deuce,
they got three of them. l played the
holes in one under par and they played
'em in three under par. l had total
of IA for the five holes and they played
them in II. Remember the old golf
axiom: If you play the short holes well
you won't lose many matches There
never was a truer story told about this
game They had me dizzy watching
that ball roll in from any and all
angles
4 RMOUR claims that John F. Nc
n Carron is probably the most con-
sistent putter at Congressional and
one of the finest putters he ever has
seen anywhere. Jack strokes the ball
beautifully" Sandy says. He has the
most delicate touch you ever saw, even
though he takes his club far back for

~INCINNATI, Ohio, July 13.-
If COLTS rulers know as
" much about prophecy as
they do about playing the
game, another champion is on
his way.
He is up-and-coming 20-year-
old Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati,
who has Just won the National
intercollegiate championship. He
did so well in the National Open
this year that he will not need
to qualify for next years event.
The fact that he is golf1ng fresh
man is understood to have been one
is not on Francis Ouimets Walker Cup
team of youngsters this year. But being
a freshman didn't keep him of the
University of Michigan team that won
the Big Ten championship.
A year ago Gene SaraZen, one OF the
last reigning monarchS, said Johnny
needed only weight on his slender frame
to make him a national champion.
Johnny has the weight now and be-
lieves that he is on his way.
he Ia1l, SltllueI rlSSLcI uclCdeSu
i Billy Howell, Washington and Lee
captain, to take away the intercol-
1egiate crown worn since last year by
George Dunlap of Princeton.
His winning was not a great sur
prise to Johnny. Before he left home
for Hot Springs. Va. he said that he
would win if he reached the semi
finals, and he did, 2 and l.
1t was his third big tournament in
about as many weeks. He played in the
National Open, in a Detroit tourna-
ment and then in the National Inter-
collegiate, all over the 36-hole route.
Among the six to qualify from the
Cincinnati district, he finished among
the first 80 in the national open. As a
result he does not need to qualify next
year
CAID Sarazen after he first saw hin,
- play:
He is consistent with his long
accurate drive off the tee, and shoots a
crisp iron with accuracy. His shots to
the green with the short irons remind
me OF jess Sweetser who has a pitch
that is as good as any player in the
game today. Ffscher's mashie niblick
shots are the best part Of his game and
his putting is above the ordinary.
"One thing I noticed about Fischer
Is that while he has fine height and
muscular development for his weight.
he is a few pounds shy. But he will
no doubt take on some poundage, and
when he does you might claim ma
tional champion here He gets his
share of brides and pars and with his
fine temperament he is an exceptionally
fine finisher"
Like so many others, Johnny started
as a caddy. He began to play while in
high school, and won the Kentucky high
school title

The Birthday of
Common Pleas
Court Has Busy Time
Since It Came into
Existence

The court of common pleas at
Waterbury celebrated it's fifth
birthday last Thursday. The day
before happened to be return day
for cases returnable in May and
when Miss Gertrude Miknaitis, as
sistant clerk got through entering
the new writs and counting them
she discovered that since the new
court has been in existence there
have been 1000 suits of various
kind brought to it.
The common pleas court was
formerly known as the district
court. Lawyers even refer to ii
as "the old district court" In
those days, there was only one
judge. Today there are two, Judge
Edward ]. Finn, senior judge, and
Judge Miles F. McNiff, deputy
judge.
Attorney Harry J. Beardsley
was senior judge when the court
was changed from the district
court to the court of common
pleas.
The fact that 1000 writs have
been started in the court gives an
indication of the amount of work
that has to be accomplished by the
judges each month in order that
the docket does not become slog-
ged.,
William NJ. Gillette is clerk of
the court and Attorney William j.
Larkin, Jr. is prosecutor during the
criminal terms. George Wiley is
court messenger.
