Scanning the Golf Stylists
GEORGE T. DUNLAP,
U. S. Amatuer Champion
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

TINE national amateur golf cham
pion of today is the Paul Run
yam Of the simon pures. Some
where in the world there may
be finer clippers and putters than
George T. Dunlap, the amateur title
holder, and Runyan. the likeable little
fellow who is moving fast toward the
top of the professional heap But they
haven't been uncovered as yet in the
dizzy golfing whirl of 1888.
Your amateur champion is not q
lengthy hitter from the tee. Long
enough to hold his own on the par S
holes. Dunlap specializes in the deadly
chip and the more deadly putt. wearing
down his opponents in much the man
ner OF the Jones of yesteryear-by put
ting the pressure on around the hole.
George Dunlap Is the son Of New
York book publisher. lad born to the
purple and one who never has had to
earn a living or travel the rough road
which John Goodman travelled before
the Omaha youngster won the open
championship this year.
But no matter what the circumstances
of private life may be. there is no royal
road to championships In golf. The
game is played with q ball and set OF
clubs and not with bank book and
an obese market account.
George Dunlap is the United States
amateur champion today because he
overcame the handicap of inherited
wealth rather than because of it. Be
cause he stuck to his practice, and
worked on his game. and because he
put into practice the theory that cham
pionships are not won off the tee, but
by the more deadly work around the
putting green.
xIOU could search through the
ranks of the renowned in golf
today and not find anywhere
finer clipper and putter than George
Dunlap. He learned that art on the
sand greens at Pinehurst, where he
early found that a 3-foot putt Is just
as important as q 300-yard tee shot.
And further, he learned that q stroke
saved around the putting green Is
more than apt to throw the big hitter
off his stride.
Today George Dunlap is as great
around the putting greens as was Jones
in the days when the great Bobby was
stalking up and down the land, win
ming major titles almost as he pleased.
Put Dunlap's ball 80 yards from the
pin anywhere and he will get down in
two shots more often than not. That's
what wins championships, and that's
what won for him at Cincinnati
The figures on that final match
against Marston set up an amazing
record Of accuracy, as certain q brand
of accuracy as the Jones brand. In
the 81 holes of the final the new
champion missed the fairway only
once from the tee, and that miss
came when he attempted too long .
carry over a jutting bunker. Twice he
missed the putting green in the re-
quired number Of shots, and once he
missed 3-foot putt. In the 81 holes
of the title match he used but so

shots are marvels Of meticulous per-

hitter of the Lawson Little or the
Sarazan type. Instead, his whole ef-
fort seems bent on hitting the ball
cleanly and straight.
He probably averages about 225 yards
from the tee But in the iron play he
never deviates from the straight line
to the pin. You could draw . chalk
line from the middle Of the tee to the
green and his ball wouldn't be Is yards
wide of that mark either on the tee
shot or the second shot. That kind OF
golf wears 'em down.
He addresses the ball like . cat walk

the ball his weight " right behind 1t

He bends well over his chip shots and
short pitches, with feet close together,

well down the grip and he swings his

uses for chip shots from the inside out.
A s . styiist George Dunlap doesn't

Like all great golfers. he bears

them carefully before struking the ball.

Some Score Wreckers.

n TANY good scores have been ruined
V on holes like the second, where
the green lies on a hilltop; the
tenth, where out-of-bounds territory
fianks the fairway and putting green
on the left: the eleventh, where a
closely guarded green invites a good
pitch, or the fifteenth, where the ditch
forms the chief hazard and where a
good tee shot can earn birdie and
q mediocre tee shot can earn an
equally easy Z.
Washington is not like most courses.
On most Of 'em shot OF the line
merely means little loss of distance.
But over there in Virginia on most
of the holes a shot of the line means
a lost stroke, and another played from
behind some fearsome hazard. That s
the reason the scores are not better
at Washington. The lost strokes are
not easy to pick up. Yet both mines
have been played in 80 strokes. The
main trouble has been to put pair Of
low counts together.

A s A result of his great stand

today was in line for an
outstanding welterweight shot.
Although the furious 10-round SCRAP
at Portner's Arena last night goes down
in the records as nothing more than a
draw, the Washington battler proved
conciusively he can hit 800 in the well
terweight league by coming from behind
to hold Raymond even. Many thought
Bowen was entitled to the duke and the
decision was booed.
1t was . commendable performance
on the part of Bowen, especially when
1t Is considered that . year ago Ray
mond decisively whipped the local
leatherslinger in Baltimore, flooring
him several times. Last nights battle
proved Bowen has improved since then,
while Raymond comparatively has been
marking time.
TINE scrap hardly was two minutes
old before Bowen suffered a cut
eye. which bled throughout the
entire tight and hampered his activi-
ties in the early going Not until the
fourth round did Ray hit his true stride
and then he narrowly missed putting
Lew away. In this session he caught
the Baltimorean flush on the chin with
q right and, with Raymond apparently
out, chased him relentlessly around the
ring In . vain effort to send home the
finishing sock. Raymond, however,
weathered the storm
Again in the ninth round Bowen had
Raymond out on his feet, but this time
he lacked the strength to put him to
sleep. The tenth was about even. A
conclusive margin for either scrapper
in the final round might have meant
the decision.
