Filled With Trepidation on
Testing Garden City Greens

the lowest scores returned during the
practice rounds. But the boys are
doing their shotmaking for keeps to-
day, and Rippy's putting touch, good
as 1t was yesterday, must remain the
same to win few matches here. It's
that kind of course.
The Washington lads wound up
their practice sessions by hitting q
lot of balls to each green.
Did you see that one?" asked
Diffenbaugh, as Bobby Brownell's ball
ran 80 feet past the pin on the fif-
teenth. Hes got to learn, like the
rest of the boys that they can't fling
the ball at the pin here. It won't
stick no matter how much stuff they
have on it."
Which is the tip-off on what may
happen in this championship. The
guy who learns quickly that the IA
vorite pitch shot he used in Oshkosh
or Frisco won't linger around the pin
as 1t does at home is the guy who is
going to 60 far in this championship.
Why Amateur Is Open"
WITHOUT any Lawson Little or
W any Bobby Jones around, the
fortieth edition Of the simon-pure
title tourney looms as the most open
of them all. John Goodman is the
hot shot, with Scotty Campbell not
so far behind, but over a golf course
like this anything can happen. All
championship courses are tough
enough, and the greens at all such
layouts are fast. But Garden City Is
going to set a new record for tough
putting.
Think these greens are fast now"
said a bewhiskered oldtimer who sat
at the eighteenth green yesterday
watching the boys finish. why they
are slow as death. I am a charter
member of this club and I've seen
the course develop from the days of
Walter Travis. Some days all you
have to do is to wave the putter over
the ball and it starts rolling. They
may be that way this week if we get
o little wind and sunshine.

prison camp. Big-time polo is one
Of the hardest and roughest Of oil
games, and for 16 years Hitchcock
has taken more than his share of
battering.
1t was Hitchcock more than any
one else who brought in the new
order Of polo-the harder, faster
riding and the harder hitting-let-
ting science take its chance against
the smash and dash Of the wallop
and the rougher road.
You have to be two athletes
rolled into one to play champion
ship polo, and yet, after 16 years,
Tommy Hitchcock is better than he
ever was before. The Argentines
may stop him next week, but, If
SO, they will know later they had
something to stop.
You can write against Hitch
cocks name that he Is skillful,
fearless and enduring, and these
are three Of the great qualities Of
competitive sport.

TULANE WAVE TURNS
TO CHOPPY BREAKER
Prospect Of Regaining Southern
National Heights on Grid
Now Appears Dark.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS. September IA (P.
The once mighty and feared Tu-
lane green wave that rolled over some
of the best foot ball machines in the
country is but a choppy breaker to-
day.
Resuming the gridiron wars after
the most dismal season in a decade,
Tulane's prospect of regaining the
top-f1ight position it occupied in
Southern and national foot ball cir
cles appears dark.
Fifty-two youngsters and a new set
of coaches are digging away daily at
the big Tulane Stadium, but if you
ask Head Coach Lowell (Red) Daw-
son it takes more than that to add up
to a winning foot ball team.
The backfield situation is not so
bad, but the line offers an almost in
surmountable task.

surpass the first one. Dogs may

Judging starts.
Denizens of Baltimore and environs
may choose their doggy fare on the
Saturday Of national dog week. In
addition to the match mentioned the
schools of Baltimore, under the leader
ship Of Mrs. Roslyn Terhune, are stag
ing a mammoth pet show in Balti-
more's largest ball park. Pedigreed
dogs, as we'll as "just pets" will be on
exhibition, along with pets of many
other varieties and kinds. There will
be classes for all manner Of dogs, and
fun for all.
MANY people confuse the term thor
" oughbred with purebred. The
former is breed of horse. just as the
collie is a breed Of dog. Purebred,
however, is a term applied to dogs of
known pedigree, all Of whose ancestors
have been of the same breed as the
individual referred to. Pedigreed often
is considered synonymous with pure
bred, although it Is obvious that every
dog has some sort Of pedigree. To
all practical intents and purposes,
though, the pedigreed dog is pure
bred dog. An eligible dog is dog
eligible to registration in the Amer
ican Kennel Club, an individual from
a registered litter, which presupposes
that both its parents were registered; +;
or dog, which, due to its winning at
licensed shows. has earned the right
Of registration in the American Ken
mel Club.
TO ASK breeder, or even the owner
Of purebred dog, what breed of
dog is best is equivalent to asking the
mother of a first grader which Is the
most attractive child in the room
Each can see only his own darling.
Yet there is no doubt that certain
breeds are better for certain people
than other breeds. The apartment
house dweller may want, but should
not have, st. Bernard. The man with
a quick, nervous temperament would
be bored with the easy going ways of
some of the hunting breeds.
On the other hand, people
with calm dispositions, or ner-
vous people easily irritated,
might be driven to distraction
by the hair-trigger characteris-
tics of certain terriers.
In buying a dog as a companion for
the next decade at least, it is well to
take stock of ones own leanings and
tendencies, and not to be carried away
by the charms of the first, chubby,
mschievous, 6-weeks-old puppy that
is offered at Q price within ones
means.
More often than not, the 4 to g.
months-old pup proves the wiser pur-
chase. He gives promise of his ap-
pearance at maturity. While he may
have more exuberance at that age
than he will later, one can Judge some
thing Of his disposition and tempera-
ment by watching him at play in the
kennel or with the members of his
human family. The 6-weeks -old puppy
may be compared to a 6-months-old
human infant. while the older pup is
analogous to the child of school age
who already has well-defined charac-
teristics which may be nodded by
training and environment.

Of both George Diffenbaugh, Indian

of Roger Peacock, District amateur
champion Of 1885.
Where seven of the local lads
started in the first round of the title

three of them around when firing
ceases over Garden City's amply bunk
cred layout tonight. There were
eight in all. but Roger Peacock oi

Levi Yoder, the tall Middle Atlantic
champion from Kenwood who loomed

Ed White of Texas, Walker Cup
team member. got himself a great
break when White defaulted and his
place was taken by Bayard Mitchell
Yoder should win without great deal
of trouble, whereas he would be
strictly the underdog against White.
Course Tricky One.
WHY all you have to do is to
w stray of the fairway yard or
two here and you haven't chance to
make a good shot," said Peacock, as
he strolled around watching the other
boys do their stuff, "and the worst of
it is that If you do hit the green you've
only begun to play. The darned
greens are so tricky, so full of bumps
and rolls that you may take three
puts from feet, and 6-foot putt
becomes a real problem"
yep, that's right" said Diffen-
baugh, who hasn't been allowed in
the club house-they have a rule
here about pros not being quite on
the same social scale with amateurs.
I've watched Bobby BrowneIl pretty
carefully here, and Roger, too, and
while they are playing well enough,
you can't say they are sure of even
2foot putt. Looks like Walter Travis
did a good job when he laid out these
greens. They are plenty tricky.
And another thing about it, the
course Is SO fiat it's hard to Judge
distance. But the main thing is that
the guy who wins here must hole all
