THE Baltimore Country Clubs Five
l. Farms course, humming with ac-
tivity as the stars entered In the
national amateur championship tried
out their shots over the lengthy layout,
also buZzed with the usual rumors that
always precedc a national. One major
rumor had 1t that Gus Moreland, the
Texas sensation and holder OF the
Western amateur title, in whom a great
deal of interest has been shown in the
East, will not be able to play because
of an injured hand.
Our guess is that Moreland will be
in there Monday morning if he has to
play with one hand. He feels that way
about winning the national. Moreland,
in case you don't know, is the gent
who many pick to succeed Bob Jones
as the emperor Of golf
Miller STEVENSON Of Columbia really
is suffering from a bad hand. Several
days ago Steve" ran a knife through
his left thumb into the bone. 1t stop
ped him from playing golf for several
days, but he is like Moreland. He
would play in the national with one
hand If he had to.
Tony Torrance, captain Of the Brit
ish Walker Cup team, shot himself a
real score at Five Farms yesterday,
blazing his way around the CHAMPION
ship layout In SO strokes, the first time
par has been shattered in practice by
any of the big-time golfers. Ernie
Caldwell. the Middle Atlantic cham
pion, shot a 66 a week ago, but the
course'wsS not as it will be played next
week. Torrance, playing in a three
ball match, blazed his away around the
coulse in 33-35 H. Chandler Egan, a
former champion from Portland, Ore,
shot himself a 50, which was later tied
by the doleful looking Frank Dolp.
Franklin Parks Of Congressional was
over the layout in 80 strokes. The
other local entrants who practiced yes
terday failed to return cards, content
ing themselves with trying out their
shots.
The exhibition match in which Bob
Jones was to have played today at
Five Farms has been called off. Bobby
Will be around next week, but only
as spectator. He Is through with
championships
