YOUTH HAS STRONGT
ALL-AROUND GAME
Lengthy With Woods, Master
With Irons-DaWson May
Set Amateur Pace.
By FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ HICAGO, May 23.-Johnny
1 Revolta, the tousled- haired
~ youngster from Menomi-
nee, Mich, is about the
only brand-new threat for the
United States open golf cham
pionship to be found among the.
1870 professionals and 81 amateurs
who will report for play at North.
Shore Country Club on June 8. :.
A large number of newcomers quail
fed for the National Open in the sec
tional tests. but it is unlikely you will,
be hearing much about them when the.
championship is completed. u,
Revolta has been quite a golfer for
several seasons, but did not hit the
public eye to any extent until last VIM
ter, when he finished among the lead
ers in several Florida tournaments.
The youngster has good golf swing
and backs it with confidence, and that
always Is needed in a winner in big
championship. He turned lose lot of
golf when qualifying In the Chicago.
district, but always played well within
himself. He was getting good distance
over the soggy fairways and handled
MS irons like master. From tee to-
green. he was better than the average
and his showing at North Shore will
depend largely upon his putting.
GEORGE DAWSON, one of Chicago's
~ three famous golfng brothers, may
develop into the main amateur threat
in the National Open. Playing much
the best golf he has exhibited in several
seasons. the elder Dawson led the Chi
cago field with 73-76-149, and that
represents fine golf over the two Me-
dfnah courses, that not only we're test
ing, but also very heavy. Dawson is a
long hitter with both woods and irons
and length will be valuable up at North :
Shore, particularly If the course is wet.
The Pacific Coast has high hopes
that Willie Goggin will make strong
showing in the national Open He is
one Of the younger professionals and
his skill Is highly regarded KY Laf-'
foon of Denver is another young pro
who Is hammering his way toward the
top and may make quite a showing
at North Shore.
The sectional qualifying rounds were
rather remarkable in that none of the
real star players of the game were
left on the outside. OF course, Chick
Evans and Jock Hutchison failed, but.
on a heavy course neither have the.
length needed for good scoring. Eddie
Loos, another veteran. also failed, but
he had played little during the Win
ter and was badly of form.
WEATHER conditions in many Sec
w tions were against the best brand
Of golf. In Chicago players were
permitted to lift ball that was buried
in the fairways and that gave some
of the players too much liberty Of
choice. Several times balls that fell
In bad lies were construed to be buried
and were lifted In short, the play
bordered closely on Winter rules.
Several Of the veteran professionals
would have preferred that the, Chi
cago trials Be postponed. but that was
not permitted. However, the United :
States Golf Association might in the
future insist on a uniformity of rules
in all sections and eliminate so much
freedom in lifting and cleaning balls.

thought, those in charge of The
Stars second annual marathon
for the National A. A. U. cham
pionship, to be held June II, will
supply concord of sweet sound"
in considerable quantities to urge
on the barriers.
At least one brass band will tour the
entire course of 26 miles and 385 yards.
with the start at Mount Vernon and
the finish at the Zero Milestone, in back
of the White House. Several other
bands will be stationed at the most
populous points along the way to serve
the double purpose of inspiring the
runners and, during 1ulls in the race,
entertaining spectators.
DUNNERS from nearly all sections of
IN the country and several whose
sphere of activity has included no
small portion of the world have said
that last years contest here was the
best conducted they ever had partici-
pated in. This time they will have at
least one consideration never before
given contestants in marathon-music
all along the route. The band mounted
on a truck will keep on the move after
having escorted the winner to the fin
ish line.
One of the bands will be stationed
at the milestone, where many thousands
are likely to congregate. Here at the
last race the Independent Boys Band
entertained and their performance was
enjoyed, particularly while spectators
awaited the first fnishers.
A N "order" for generous amount
n Of music for himself was put in
today by Jerry Looney. chairman
of the District A. A. U. Marathon Com
mittee Jerry is one Of Washington's
most hopeful entrants in the contest.
Last year he pulled up lame after is
miles.
"I can stand lot of that music" the
young Irishman laughed, for this time
mean to finish, sore dogs or not"
Music Is remarkably inspiring to
weary runners, according to two other
famous veteran, and Haskell Clark.
Both cited personal experiences. Clark
was ready to quit a Baltimore race
when miles from the finish, where
he was tt1irty-seventh. AS he passed
a radio shop, the strains of favorite
tune fioated out to him and
IT got seventh place in that race" said
Haskell. That tune gave me new life"

he encountered colored school band,
playing at flag raising. or something
of the sort. The we'll known veteran
was recognized from many years par

race and somebody tipped the band
master to play the "Wearin' Of the

Mike Is of the ould sod They say
he went past that band In sensational
