Starts Against Youngster.

STRANGELY enough, Little meets
- one of those youngsters, who
doesn't know much about him, IN the
very first 18-hole round Monday,
when he faces Rufus King, 18-year-
old star from Wichita Falls. Tex. King,
up to few years ago, didn't go in for
golf so much. concentrating on trap
shooting, until he won the national
junior title.
After that he took up golf more
seriously and has been playing we'll
upsetting some fine players in the
Denver district, where he qualified. He
won the Colorado State amateur title
two weeks ago from a good field.
Little has been a one-man show
ever since he came to Cleveland
intent on running his amateur con-
quests to four in a row-two in Eng
land and two IN America. A Cleve-
land newspaper, seeking a feature
had an eight-column spread which
demanded:
Let's see what Lawson Little will
do to our twelfth hole?"
Lawson did plenty to the terror
hole" of the course, which stretches
for $50 yards around a semi-dog leg.
He not only showed them, he awed
EN- by reaching the green in two
shots and scoring a birdie four.
Plenty Of class will oppose the Cali
fornian next week, however, and he
is far from a dead cinch. Included
in the field are nine former cham
pions-Chick Evans. Max Marston,
Francis Ouimet, George Dunlap, jess
Guilford. Dave Heron. Bob Gardner,
Chandler Egan and Ross Somerville
Ouimet, Evans and Johnny Good
man Of Omaha, one fellow who re-
fuses to be awed, represent the con-
tingent of former open champions.
England had two representatives in
Robert Sweeney and T. A. Torrance
Guilford was a doubtful starter, how
ever, as he has been Ill for the past
three weeks.

A N ESTEEMED colleague in this
n sports-writing field was to play
~ a bit of tennis yesterday and
4 Il if he found himself capable of
extending some of the citys best
racketers more than IL games a
match will enter the Department of
Fairgrounds open Fall tournament,
which starts next Saturday afternoon
on the Potomac Park Courts.
Don't laugh at the mention of a
sports writer playing tennis. I know
it was an act of Providence that sent
the weeks rain to postpone a pro-
posed tournament for sports reporters,
thus momentarily sparing the eyes and
sensitive faculties of the games de-
voices from scenes too horrible to de-
scribe. But this writer is different.
You see he was tennis player be-
fore he became a tennis writer, which
he was before he descended into just
a general columnist. And he didn't
take up tennis reporting as an outlet
for game which he liked, but
couldn't play. BY now you must have
guessed his name, for there's only one
writer in Washington who was a Dis
trict tennis champion before he be-
came even better known through
another medium.
Yes. it's Robert (On-the-Line)
Considine. And he wasn't going to
be able to tell you before this morning
whether he would enter his first
tournament in almost five years. The
hang lover reaction probably will be
as determining factor as the
capabilities Bob finds he still has Tor
HASN'T on the courts. for after all,
you can't expect a guy to give up a
months typewriter-tapping for a
weeks racket rotations. So if Bob
awakes with a 'why-did-I-do-it?"
feeling this morning it's pretty certain
that he'll not be among the entrants
on Saturday.
How do you feel this morning,
Robert?

Greene PLAYS Peacock.

HICKMAN GREENE of Manor, win
ner of the Chevy Chase tourney
last May, has drawn Peacock and
probably will take licking, for Pea
cock is strictly on his stick, is keen
and wants to go places in this, his
first match-play attempt in national
amateur title. Pitt drew the lone
bye of the Washington group and Levi
Yoder seems doomed to pass out early
He has drawn Francis Ouimet, and the
42-year-old Bostonian, always keen
and in good shape in the opening
rounds of a national, probably will
push Levi out of the tournament by
the sixteenth hole. But stranger
things have happened than Francis
Ouimet getting licked in the first
round. He didn't get past the first
round last year and if Levi can hang
on and bang in few puts he will
give Francis fast ride

ship draw finds four Washingtonians
In the first quarter with such stars as
Scotty Campbell, Ross Somerville, the

Peacock, Volney Burnett and Greene
all are in the top quarter In the third
quarter, cluttered up with such stars
as Johnny Goodman, Chick Evans,
Sam Perry, Jesse Guilford and Maur-
ice Mccarthy, are Maury Nee of Co.

and Page Hufty of Chevy Chase, the

Goldman, last years runner-up, and
Little are esconced.
Stamina Counts a Lot.
IT'S no light job for a man out of
condition-this trek after the ma
tional championship. It's almost as
much a test of physical stamina as of
shotmaking, for the winner must play
10 rounds of 18 holes or less. The
schedule calls for six straight 18-hole
matches, to be followed by 36-hole
seml-final and final matches. As the
championship now is being run off it is
quite job, and despite the certainty
that some one of the group of kids
gathered here is going to have q warm
round against Lawson Little, the burly
champ from California is an odds-on
favorite to repeat and win his fourth
national title in two years. He won
this one last year and has won the
British amateur two years in a row.
Lawson is mauling his tee shots so
lar that he is outstripping every one
In the field by 20 yards and more, a
teat which gives him a tremendous
edge on such lengthy layout.
Furthermore he is keen to set q new
record by cleaning up on all the major
amateur championships two years in
row. 1t never has been done before.

it The Country Club for several days
and have satisfied themselves with
light practice, usually playing couple
Of shots to each hole, particularly
around the tightly trapped greens.
Stretched out to its maximum
length, the course of the Country
Club measures around 5000 yards, a
little factor which will give Larruping
Lawson Little big advantage over
the rest of the field and won't hurt
big hitters like Harry Pitt and Roger
Peacock. These two entrants from
the Capital have been busting the ball
a mile down the watered fairways
here and seem to be in good shape
for the opening of the championship
But the luck of the draw has thrown
