Layt. Rose isn't taking any back talk from these after supper (din- ner to some folks) golfers since he posted a 3S for the nine. Especial ly does Layt. get keen delight twitting Bill Klobedanz about the accomplishment. And say Bill Klobedanz, we heard many com ments regarding the curtailment of social activities. The Gals" are de- manding a dance, William Mert Connor played his seasons initial round recently. By the time he reached the third hole he had lost six balls and had to return to the club house for more ammunition. The trees take their toll, Mert. The Ed Mcdonald and Ed Farley fa- ther and son combinations went at 1t Saturday P. M. We didn't get the results nor do we know whether or not it was a handicap affair, but we do know that if bisques were involved the Farleys, and Ed. Mcdonald took on the champ jug gler of the bisque business. The daily afternoon foursome will soon be absent by one, for 1t won't be long now before Jack Freney goes on his annual vacation to Old Town, Maine. Mollie Calhoun on being awarded several golf balls for the second place honors of the putting contest said the pills were going into glass case out of cir. culation. Margaret Geddes, a brand new player. received quite a thrill when she dropped Q long one for 6 birdie.

 New York, July 31--(UP)-To- morrow, in the dawn of Southamp- ton, the American Davis cup team will board liner and begin Q sad retreat to these shores, thus com- pleting an argosy which started started with high hopes and. fin- ished with crushed ones.
 Smothered five matches to none by the British in the challenge round, Americas chance of lifting the cup seem farther removed than ever. And they probably are, for Germanl, not the United States, is the nation most likely to succeed England as holder of the trophy.
 If you will study the history of the Davis. clup-and it makes for most uninteresting reading, as- sure you--you will find that the cup nearly always belongs to the country which boasts the worlds No. 1 singles player. England won the cup when Fred Perry became the premir singles performer. Franc held it when Cochet was tops, and the United States when Tilden was. England will continue to keep it on the tight little isle so long as Perry stays the head man.
 But how long will that be Four or five years if he elects to con- tinue tournament play and spurn professional offers and the call of Hollywood and business. But 1t is generally believed that Perry will assist in only one more cup defense at the most, and when he vacates the No. post who will succeed him?
 There is only one answer Baron Gottfried von Cramm of Germany.
 He has been the heir apparent for two years, and when Perry steps down he will step up. And Germany's cup team will step up with him. The blond nobleman won his first singles match against the United States in the interzone final, and only after his partners had lost the German chance to challenge for the cup did he drop an indecisive match to inspired Donald Budge. A year from now. when Henkel and Lund will have one year of seasoning under their belts, they'll probably be able to contribute one point to the baron's total.
 So, with the baron"s ascendancy, America now has two countries in- stead of one which 1t must spot two matches before starting play. That's a ck-breaking handicap, both on the scoreboard and phy- chologically.
 Captain Joseph Wear of the de- feated America forces Is certain to be victim of much second-guessing, especially in hisc hoice of Allison over Wood in the singles assign ment. I don't think he deserves it. After all, he was there on the ground and in much better po- sition to know the quality of Woods game than any of us over here. He gambled and he ost. Furthermore, in crilticizing Wear, don't forget that even though he was 5000 miles removed from the powers that be of the U. s. L. T. A.. and carried the important title of captain, he might not have had the last say. They deliver those cables quickly, you know.

Qlni Dutra won the U. S.. Open at Merion last year by playing safe on the eighteen green. Facing the home hole, Dutra needed but five to tie Gene Sarazen, who, even after a disastrous eleventh hole, posted a 294 and seemed to have won.
 On the eighteenth, Olin's tee shot was down the fairway. A long spoon second reached the edge of the green. He could take three puts and still win.
 Not the snowman that some other golfers are, Dutra took it easy. The Los Angeles professional did not play to the gallery. His ap- prcach putt rolled to within four feet of the cup. He babied the next one, and then tapped in the third for a 293.
 Being the last player to tee off for the afternoon round, the large Californian's last putt was the final of the tournament.
 Dutra won by being able to vis- ualize his shots.
 When a player dislikes putt. his chances of holing 1t at once be- come less. The sight of bad putt can weaken determination.
 Enjoy tough shots. Then you will be able to concentrate.
 Look over your past perform ance and you win see that when confronted by q hard shot you executed it almost Co perfection.

the Mattatuck Club and Waterpury Municipal Golf plant was played at the City Course Sunday P. M. The Mattatuck lads encountered consid- erable difficulty negotiating the narrow wooded bound fairways of the East Mountain layout and came under the wire second best. On total points for the home and home series the match is all even. Quite a match.
 Frank Byrnes of the Mattatuck was the only member of the visit ing club who was able to annex the possible three individual points. Franks opponent was the dapper ringer for Jimmy Gleason of the movies. Frank accumulated an early lead, which Jim though all ways within threatening distance was unable to cut down.

 CTS provided the feature match
 for the gallery. Going into the
 second nine with the match

 round came in with two over

 Jack Freney led the birdie

 shot trimmed the cup.
 Must tell you about the spectac- ular shot pulled by Ed. Sutton former tennis player q said flor mer", Ed) one evening during the week. On the long par five, ninth hole our Eds long shot off the tee was followed by a swell brassie shot that brought him up close enough for an easy iron to the green. After carefully looking over the lie of the ball and giving the distance to green a mental sur- vey, the golfing collegian grabbed an iron from the bag, took his stance and let go. With a "Wham" the pill started straight and true on it's zooming flight toward the green, over the sand trap and rough the pellet flew and finally zoomed over the trees into the woods and out of sight. We thought it's journey must have ter minated in Hitchcock Lake but just as Ed was going to play an- other ball, there was a rattle in the trees and out hopped the or iginal ball and landed on the green. His two butts gave him par for the hole. A nice clean par Huh. Eds artner Dick Hyland claims the return shot from the woods must have been executed by some boy scout who was doing his days good deed.
