,STRAgGMT OEE TNlE TEE
by w. R. Me CALluM

TIME putter still remains the
most potent Of all links
weapons. No matter how far
a golfing gent may smack 'em
from the tee, no matter how his iron
shots may split the pin, he still can
not win unless he holes the puts.
And If he is splitting the pin from
tee to green and still canning the
puts he isn't going to be licked.
Levi Yoder, tall, drawling North
Carolinian from up in the hills near
Linville. today has leg on the ].
Webster Manning Trophy. chief prize
in the Manor Club invitation tour
ney, because his putter was red-hot.
And Tommy Webb, husky star Of the
Washington Golf and Country Club,
who played fairish sort of center for
the Maryland State foot ballers two
years back, has lost tournament be-
cause his putter wouldn't click. Yoder
playing from the Indian Spring Coun-
try Club. used only 81 puts in "a
holes on the final day Of the tourna-
ment, which is something like II
under perfect" putting, allowing two
puts to each green. He banged in so
many long ones and at such strategic
points in the final match that every
time he took his steel-shafted Ca
lamity Jane" in hand the small gal
lery expected him to hole out. Harry
Pitt looked at that kind of putting in
the semi-final as Yoder snuffed him
out by and in the semi-inal with
IL one-putt greens and a score Of II.
And Tom Webb, usually something
of a putter himself. took a dose Of the
same medicine in the afternoon.
/ODER is a better golfer than most
I people think. Long enough from
the tee, and accurate around the
greens, the tall Carolinian has been
whipping Harry Pitt in friendly
matches, but until yesterday he hadn't
gone anywhere in tournament play
around Washington. He works for
local cafeteria, and his victory con-
tinued the string of wins for South
ern invaders, carrying on where Hick-
man Greene Of Louisiana left OF at
Chevy Chase last week.
That final was a weird thing to
watch. Yoder started out as If TO
make 1t a runaway-another Of those
7 and things which have been the
rule around Washington in final
rounds this year. He grabbed the first

Smith replied that 301 was good
enough to win the last open tourney

Smith figures that the breaks" in
the open at Oakmont will play a
much smaller part than they have in

There Is no such thing as COM

TEAM STRUGGLE
APPEARS TOSS-UP
MeadoWbrooks Out to Get
Even With Germans for
Recent Defeat.
BY ROD THOMAS.

~ F INTEREST only to the
runners themselves, perhaps,
\ J will be the team struggle in
The Stars fourth annual
marathon, for the National A. A. U.
championship next Saturday, but that
part of the contest may be the most
bitterly fought.
Came today the entry of the Ger
man-American Club of New York, in
cluded in the list one Paul De Bruyn,
German champion, former Boston
marathon winner and the colorful
Olympian who supplied the drama
in the first Evening Star race when
he fell exhausted hundred yards
from the finish. but cmwled and
staggered across the line.
To the club that first sends three
men across the finish stripe beside
the Zero Milestone next Saturday will
go the national team championship,
and the German Americans are hard
bent upon this achievement. Re-
Gently they won a 1-point victory over
the MeadoWbrook Club of Philadel-
phia and the United States 30-kilo-
meter title In this race, held at
Wilmington, Del, the German Amer
leans were first with SO points and
the Meadowbrooks second with 81.
Meadow brook Is Vengeful.
-XXIELL get even at Washington" J."
" came the word from the
Quaker City outfit.
Today the race management re-
ceived from Max Silver, coach of the
German Americans, formidable
lineup. Besides De Bruyn it included
Hugo Kauppinen, Edward Wesolowski.
Fred Blum, Daniel Hofmann, Clarence
Peckham and Harvey Lichtenstein.
The MeadoWbrook Club hasn't an
nounced its runners but likely will
have the same combination that ran
at lmington-Wilson, Clark, Will
lauer. Foley and Haines.
But the contest for the team trophy
won't be confined to these two clubs.
Far from 1t. The Monarch Athletic
Club of Toronto, starring the tiny
Percy Wyer probably the smallest
runner of distinction in the world, is
coming back with well-founded hopes
OF regaining the national team title it
won in The Star race in 1882 and SO.
And defending the title will be the
United Shoe Machinery Athletic As
sociation, which won this year at
Boston.

LITTLE ON VERGE
OF RECORD FEAT
Would Be First American
to Win British Title
Twice in Row.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

~ VE"S terrific-simply terrific" !"
- said George Henriques, as
Lawson Little walked over
his PROSTATE body in the
quarter finals of the British ANA
teur golf championship.
George Henriques knows his golf.
Any star who can win IS consecu-
tive matches over the windswept
courses of Prestwick and St. Anne's.
and thereby reach the final round
of two consecutive championships,
has to be terrific" when you con-
slider the hazards of an 18-hole ordeal.
1t took a period of 26 years, from
1904 to 1880. for three American en-
tries to win three British amateur
titles. They were Walter ]. Travis,
Jess Sweetser and Bobby Jones.
Jones Failed Twice.
TESS SWEETSER lost his first start
y and won the next time out. Bob
Jones lost his first two starts
and won at the third wave. Lawson
Little of Stanford and San Francisco
had yet to take the poison of Brit
ish defeat as he faced DR.. William
Tweddell in the final round at St.
Anne'S.
DR.. Tweddell has been a consistent
campaigner for more than Is years.
He was good enough to win the title
in 1927 and he was strong enough
~ fo he ctr
competitors as Eric Fiddian and Tony
Torrance, two of Britain's best.
DR.. Tweddell is a cool, determined
match player who usually hangs on
grimly, but he faces a tough job in
meeting the long-driving Little at So
holes.
Little Likes Long Route.
r TITLE likes the longer route,
| where he will have more time In
which to apply the crushing
pressure of killing power. 1t isn't any
too good for the nerves, however good
they may be, to stand up against such
heavy cannonading all day long, to be
outdriven by so many yards.
Golf, in its most consistent mood,
is most inconsistent game where
anything can happen in a single
match. But the odds must belong to
the golfer who can win % successive
championship matches - eight at
Prestwick In 1884, seven at Brookline
in 1884, and now seven at st. Annes
in 1885. without humping into set
back of any sort.
That consistency may be too re-
markable to stand up. but Lawson
Little turned loose at SO holes Is about
as safe as tiger just out of the jun
gle. He is the first American who
ever had the chance on the final day
of championship to win two British
amateurs in a row. Considering the
mental and physical hazards Of 50
many 18-hole matches, terrific" is
the right word.

1Ew YORK. May 25.-one
thing seems certain when
Barney Ross collides for the
third time with the welter-
weight champion, Jimmy McLarnin,
in the Polo Grounds Tuesday night
somebody's going TO get hurt.
Their training chores in the Cats
kills wind up today and both will head
for New York, where revived interest
in the business of fisticuffs indicates
that some $4,000 cash customers will
pay close to 100000. if the weather
turns reasonably warm, to see them
fight another Is rounds.
Their first match, in which Ross
won a close decision and added the
welterWeight title to his lightweight
crown, crossed almost 100000, and
the second, last September, when Nc
Larnin, on another tight decision,
took it back, drew about $150,000.
This time Ross is an 8-to-5 favorite
to win decisively.
Both Confident of KayO.
THEY come into New York with
both stressing right hands to
the point of fanaticism. Ross,
grown so heavy that he had to abdi-
cate his lightweight throne this
Spring, has taken his increased
poundage as an indication that ne
has become knockout puncher, par
ticularly with his right hand. Nc
Larnin, in a dozen years of hard cam
paigning, always has been thunder
Gus walloper with either hand.
One of the strangest features OF the
situation is the absolute confidence OF
both camps that each warrior will win
within 10 rounds by knockout. Nc
Larnin, always reticent, has left his

manager, and guardian.

the fact that Jimmy has had
considerable trouble with excess
weight, says that Ross won't last five
rounds this time, that it's the easiest
match his protege ever tackled. Nc
Larnin weighed 147l4 pounds yester-
day, the heaviest poundage OF his
career.
Ross finally spoke up in his own
behalf yesterday, after maintaining a
silence equal to that Of McLarnin.

nine rounds this time" he said. II
