The discovery Of the Pacific

An interesting display of

Latin American countries has

After losing Wednesday, to 4, the

Although they had had only one

own Billy Dettweiler matching shots
with the smooth-stroking Frank K.
Roesch of Washington Golf and Coun-
try Club, the only ex-champion left
in the tournament. Frank won in
1881 If he was stronger physically
he would win more often, for in sheer
shot making he is excelled by no man
around Washington.
VERY one knew that that meet
ing of Peacock and Vinson was
to be a battle of giants, a. match
that should have been a final, instead
of a mere second-round engagement.
Peacock played the better golf. Gene
admitted that after the match. But
then golf matches do not always go
to the man who plays the best game.
Putting still remains as the determ1n-
ing factor in the winning OF golf
matches.
1t all simmered down to this: At
the short sixteenth Roger was ! up,
and when Gene put his tee shot In
trap. it looked like curtains for Pat
Harrison'S secretary. But that putter
which had been red hot all day, broke
out in a rash again, and he holed a
1O-footer for a half. He stymied Pea
cock on the seventeenth to square the
match and then Roger three-putted
the eighteenth, missing 30-inch putt
for the half which would have carried
the match into extra holes.
Meanwhile Hickman Greene was
having little trouble with Maury Nee,
Frank Roesch was slipping the halter
on Luther Steward, and Billy Dett-
weller, the hot kid who can win, was
trouncing John Shorey by 4 and 3.
Three extra hole matches in the first
round we're won by Nee, Greene and
Steward.
A BOUT IL years back Leo Diegel
~ played the last nine in Columbia
in 20 strokes to win a sizable
bet from Guy Standifer, but that
mark hadn't been touched since until
yesterday when Rippy knocked out a
20 at Rock Creek. He played the first
four holes in the par of 4, 4, 3, 4 and
then nearly holed an ace on the 100
yard fifth, to bag a birdie deuce. His
ace came on the sixth which is being
played to temporary green in which
an 8-inch cup has been installed.
Playing the shot with an iron Rippy
hit-a low ball which rolled straight
on the line, ran past the cup and
then dropped back into the big bowl.
He then missed short one for birdie
on the long eighth and finished with
bird 8 on the ninth.
Strangely enough Rippy, good as he
is, never has won the local municipal
links title. He is the only man around
Washington who has beaten Gene
Vinson in match play so far. He
licked Vinson at Indian Spring.

But that will mean the second round

chance of getting somewhere. He is
the only one of the five who has

~ day five of your leading
" " amateur linksmen of the
the Capital will be showing
North, headed fer Brookline, Mass,
and the national amateur golf cham
pionship, to be played at the Country
Club, starting September 10. BY Sep
tember the boys will be on their way
to the great adventure of all amateur
golfers-the national championship.
They all want at least four days
practice before the tournament opens
on Monday, September 10, because
they realize that the tricky course at
Brooklire takes a lot of knowing and
that only ample practice will familiar
lie them with the required shots.
The five are Gene Vinson of Manor,
Billy Dettweiler of Congressional, Mar
tin F. Mccarthy of Beaver Dam and
Columbia, John C. Shorey of Kenwood
and Jimmy Drain of Washington, a
group which represents fairly close to
the best there is in golf around the
Capital. Add Harry Pitt and Roger
Peacock to this list and you have just
about tops in amateur golf hereabouts.
But Pitt and Peacock did not qualify.

VYIHAT will they find when they
/" reach Brookline? They will
find a golf course very much
like Columbia, a course where the
straight and accurate golfer can score
amazingly low, and layout on which
all five Of them should go well. For
Brookline, one of the oldest cham
pionship layouts in the United States,
has not been greatly changed since
jess Sweetser blazed his way through
the field to win the title tourney in
1922. They will find golf course
where accuracy more than mere
length, is demanded from the tee;
where the green's are amply big and
in perfect putting condition. and once
more, as IN all championships, they
WILL find that matches are being won
6 feet from the hole. A little tighter
than Columbia from the tee many of
the holes at Brookline are cut through
woods where an inaccurate tee shot
means lost hole. They will find
three of the finest finishing holes in
the world, the sixteenth a beautifully
trapped par 8 affair; the seventeenth
testing dog-leg hole bending to the
left, and the eighteenth a straight
away two-shotter of sufficient length
to necessitate a beeming tee shot to
enable the good hitter to play short
iron to the green.
