Thomson Delivers.

THEY finally got it, too. At the
fifteenth hole yesterday. over that
slow, fiat Kenwood course, where all
the distance the boys got had to be
carry, Jimmy Thomson finally got
hold of one. The impressive varsity
shoulders and the Londos-like wrists
of this king Of golf ball hitters finally
achieved that magic combination of
timing, rhythm and strength that
comes about once In a round, and
Jimmy parked tee shot on the flf-
teenth green. 325 yards from the tee.
And that crowd, which had waited Is
holes for just that, surged over to-
ward the finish. They had seen what
they wanted.
Not that Jimmy was exactly pop
gun or a sissy golfer before. He had
hit couple on the nose before that
one, but he really caught that one on
the fifteenth. 1t helped a lot in
enabling him and Witty Cox to finish
square with Horton Smith and Law
son Little. why this guy Little can
outdrive Jimmy any day for my
dough-" they said as burly Lawson
parked several tee shots out in front
of the blond importation from Scot
land. the uncrowned open champ Of
the United States. Look at that one
10 yards past Jimmy" But they quit
that kind Of conversation on the If
teenth. Jimmy Thomson Is the
darling Of the galleries. He gives
'em what they want, and it isn't
putting.

Seven thousand persons, the
L biggest golf-hungry mob the
old town has seen since gansly Jim
Barnes stepped up to President OF
the United States, back in 1921, and
received big silver mug from Warren
Harding, waited and waited for the

Kenwood to see.
They'd heard about Lawson Littles

rolled in q curling 15-footer on the
eighteenth green to halve the match
sponsored by Spalding. Prior to that
Horton and Little had been l down
most of the way on the back nine. But
you can trust Horton to come through
in the clutches. The guy can make
the putter talk the same language that
Jimmy Thomsons 151z-ounce driver
speaks.
Very impressive, that exhibition
match at Kenwood. 1t proved once
again that when you put on free
show the customers will turn out.
Where other golf matches charging
gate fee coined peanut money this
year, that one at Kenwood drew
somewhere between 5000 and 5000
rampaging fans, tearing over Don
Chamberlain's finest fairways, getting
in their own hair and lining every
fairway three or four deep. You
couldn't see much unless you were q
giant, but you could catch occasional
glimpses Of the brawny gladiators.
But 1t proved also that the Spalding
folks are q smart bunch Of hombres
to furnish a free show of that nature
And If they ever had any doubt that
golf Is getting along alright Julian
Curtis and his boys should have seen
that mob. Golf doesn't need much
more promoting to put it In the class
of Scotland, where 10000 people turn
out to see q championship-at least
it doesn't around Washington. Or
was it the free angle of the thing?

Y you saltwater anglers, don't

Catches these past few days
n have indicated that plenty Is
to be expected of trout, rock and yes,
even blues. Only the other day we
gave voice to the plant heard at every
angling gathering, that blues aren't
what they were last year, and on the
heels Of that comes report from the
Gooses which hurls our words right
back in our face.

q time, more fsh lost than landed,

aged, left with acres Of blues breaking,

biting everything we put overheard.
"In all my fishing I've never seen
anything like it. The blues are here"
adds Capt. George.
CAPT. ROBERT e. LEE of Shady

reports on the good old blues. I'VE

weeks ago, boats are bringing back
from Is to rs each trip. Some of them
weigh up to 2 pounds" he writes. They
are being caught on the Pfueger drone

DEvIvAL Of British golf will be .
~ great thing for international COM
petition. It should stimulate Ameri-
cans to a new keenness, for, by and
large, our players we're becoming more
or less complacent in their attitude
toward international competition. Our
superiority over the British was ac-
cepted as matter Of fact. For the
first time in years We do net possess
q single British title and the Britons
have one of ours. Something must
be done about that, and probably will
next season, when the professional
Ryder Cup team visits England. At
that time we will have 10 Of our
best professional shotmakers In the
British open to make things happen.
It is rather obvious that the United
States has no super-players at the
moment in the amateur and women's
fields. No players like Bob Jones or
Lawson Little or Glenna Collett Ware
or Helen Hicks. Our stars are good,
but so are the British, and interna-

visions probably will be rather even
