YANKEES WIN
WALKER CUP
By HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

ST. ANDREWS, scotland, May
II - America today retained the
Walker cup, emblematic of world
amateur team golf supremacy.
George Dunlap, of New York,
turned in the decider when he beat
Jack Mclean, four up and three
to play, in the number three match
of the singles.
America then led by six matches
to one and Britain could do no
more than tie, possibility that
was quickly blasted when Francis
Ouimet. American captain. beat
Leonard Crawley, five and four,
and clinched the cup.
Johnny Fischer, lanky Cincinna-
tian and former intercollegiate
champion, then made the victory
still more crushing by trouncing
Eric Fiddian five up and four to
play.
Earlier this afternoon John Good
man, Of Omaha, and Lawson Little,
of Chicago, had crushed their
British singles opponents. Yester-
day America won three of the
four foursomes.
Goodman beat the Hon. Michael
Scott, British captain, seven and
six. Little beat the burly Cyril
Telley, seven and five.
Johnny Goodman, American open
champion, laid the foundation for
Americas eighth successive victory.
The first Anglo-American match,
in 1922, was played before the
Walker cup was offered. but is
generally counted as a Walker cup
victory for the United States.
Goodman's singles opponent, who
is British amateur champion as well
as British team captain, is noted
for his short game.
But Johnny administered a
lesson to the greyhaired Briton.
Johnnys approaches were so close
that Scott was continually forced
to putt first on the green's.
Goodman's clockwork putting rat
tied the Englishman, notably a
five-yarder at the twenty-third
hole and -yarder at the
twenty-sixth. After that Scott re-
linquished the ghost.
Goodman was one under par for
the IL holes he had to play this
afternoon.
Max Marston finally weakened
and T. A. Torrance brought some
slight CLEAN of JOY to the natives
when he beat the Philadelphian
four up and three to play. 1t was
the first British singles victory

"Hells Bunker" but if he were per-
turbed he didn't show it.
Il guess it's pretty tough
course" Lawson said, but it can't
scare me. cause 1 have played on
the hardest one in the world. And
that's no exaggeration. 1t was in
Tientsin. China, where dad, who is
an army doctor was stationed sey-
eral years ago. You know what the
course in TientSin had for traps
and bunkers? Coffins and graves
and bones of Cinnamon long gone
to wherever Cinnamon go.
In this section of China, any
way, it was the custom to place the
coffin on the ground and then COW
er it under a mound of earth. but
leaving the sides and ends exposed.
Well, this course, which must have
been laid out by a light-hearted
sort of chap, was literally sprinkled
with these gruesome hazards. There
was one every 25 yards-in the fair
ways, rough and around the green.
There was so many of them, in
fact, that the back of the score
cards bore this rule: Ball may be
lifted and dropped from open cof-
fin without penalty 1t didn't cost
you strokes to place your drive of
second in one, but it cost you plenty
of peace of mind Not once, but

had to reach in with my putter and
rake my ball out from an assort-
ment of bones. finally got around
in 102 strokes and almost that many
I attacks of the jitters. l don't think
S. Andrews will be much worse"
Little asked me to help him in
ending the rather general belief
that he is the slowest golf player
in the world. He admits that
through 1880 he was just that, but
was criticized so severely for hold
ing everybody on the course up,
that he has speeded his game until
he's a normal player.
Il got my reputation for slow
playing" he said. "at the amateur
at Pebble Beach in 1929. But I had
an excuse then. For one thing. it
was my first national. For another,
all my family was there and
wanted to make good so much that
studied every blade of grass, be-
fore and behind, before making a
shot. Being slow pays sometimes,
though"
The press gave me hell for the
time I took to make a shot on the
18th hole Of my match quarter
final with Ouimet that year, but
think 1 justified that delay by
stopping my approach chip a foot
from the hole to carry Francis 70
extra holes. One reporter said
often walked $50 yards TO study con-
dition before playing a shot. That's
not true-the longest distance
ever walked was 25 yards and that
was on the shot against Ouimet.'
