McCue Plenty Game, Too.

THE Goeltz- Mitchell or McCue
l. match will follow the -Iunt-
Markey encounter. Both emi-fnals
will be three -out-of-five sets.
If Mitchell is to be credited with
steel courage in his great stand against
McCue yesterday, then so must the
Navy Leech Cup star be praised for
an extraordinary display Of the same
quality which completed a scene OF
two unwavering warriors who stuck
to their guns in the face OF impending
defeat which glared at Mitchell three
times and McCue four times during
that marathon set.
Twice in the 18th game when ne
was leading. 6-5, Mitchell had oppor-
tunities to end the set, but each time
with the advantage against him at
deuce, McCue sent back placements
into Dooly's court. Again in the l4th
game, Mitchell had two advantage
points but again his opponent had
what it took.
Then, two games later, the tide sud-
denly shifted and the match came
within an inch of being won by the
Navy veteran. With McCue holding
the lead in games at 81 and advan-
tage in the 10th, Mitchell slapped a
backhand so near the sideline that
not a sound emanated from the gal
lery which didn't know whether. the
match was over or not. But a lines
man decided that the ball just hadn't
touched the chalk line, and. given a
reprieve, Dooly squared the match
again four points later to the accom-
paniment Of prolonged applause.

He Ought to Qualify.

LIE MAY not qualify. but he should
= L do so. On the strength Of his
game, even though he is not altogether
familiar with the shots required on
the better private courses, the Rippy
man is good enough to 60 a long way
in any golf affray. In way his career
in golf parallels that of George Voigt
when Voigt began pushing over all his
opponents on the public courses. car
ried his immaculate game to the pri-
vate layouts. to the national amateur
championship and subsequently be-
came Q Walker Cup team member.
Rippy today certainly is as good q
golfer as was voigt at the time he was
playing the local municipal layouts
And he may be better That has vet
to be proved, for Rippy hasn't had the
time or the money to play in many OF
the private club affairs.
Rippy played in the Kenwood Coli
and Country Club invitation affair last
May and went to the final where he
was beaten by Bernie Hallock In q
36-hole final round. 1t was his lone
private tournament start of the year.

Stan Kovel and Johny Rogers, to- gether with most of the entrants in the 37th annual tournament at the Greenwich Country Club, Monday, encountered less competition in the opposing players than from what they bucked up against in the way of a crazy and cratic wind. Some of the leading players in the state just slipped under the qualifying wire or else found themselves out of the running altogether. Here at the Municipal course the breezes of the merry type of the Peter Rab- bit stories, but when they started catching drives and approach shots and maliciously tossed them into the rough or else checked them in flight and sent them back at the players, no innocent little child was ever heard to utter some of the phrases like those that came from the victims of these guests. It was tough day to play golf, especially competitive golf such as one en- counters in state tournament, and Stan's card of 93 and Johnny's of 85, are to their credit although cer- tainly not criterions of the high standard that each is capable of reaching. Johnny, incidentally, miss ed out on the qualifying by virtue of a tossed coin. One of three 85 cards, Johnny found himself in the cold at the flip of the silver piece.
