Former Amateur King
Teams With Thomson in
New Role as Paid Star.

A THOUGH the name of Bob
~ Jones, former world champion,
~ has been mentioned in connec-
n ton with the new golf pro-.
motion venture on which Lawson
Little. former world amateur king
has embarked, the Jones boy won't do
any of the casual missionary work in
the new sphere of activity.
Lawson is associated with the manu-
featuring concern (Spalding) with
which Bob is connected, but the main
job of educating Young America in
golf and of the general promotion will
fall TO Lawson and to Jimmy Thom-
son, the big BAN from California, now
registered from Shawnee on Delaware.
Horton Smith also will team with
Little and Thomson, but Horizons part
will be only minor compared with that
OF Little and Thomson, the twin big
hitters OF the links world. The set-up,
as outlined at Augusta, will be for
Lawson and Jimmy to tour the prov
inces playing exhibition matches and
generally to promote golf. They also
will play in the big open tournaments.
Their itinerary, not made up as yet,
will include Washington.

M season, late this year, will
v v get under way with a bang
few days hence. Along
about the time Nippon's gift to horti-
culture-the Japanese cherry trees
start attracting, the rubber-neck
wagons down to Potomac Park, the
golfers begin smacking the ball around
and about that time the first club
tournaments start, the pros begin
getting ready for another big year"
and the buffers begin wondering why
those tee shots flop off into the tall
and as yet uncut rough.
Signs Of Spring are many, among
them these: Roland Mackenzie will
begin his class lessons for women at
Congressional tomorrow; two local
clubs will stage their opening tourna-
ments over the week end; the pros who
have been away all Winter are troup-
ing back toward the Capital and the
local P. G. A. will stage its annual
meeting next Monday to decide on
schedule
And just in time to meet the good
weather Ed Burns, manager at Rock
Greek Park, announces his first tourna-
ment venture of the year-the annual
Spring affair for the public links boys.
This will be held starting next Monday
with match play to follow throughout
next week.
ON THE pro side Of the picture the
local pros are to have a couple of
tough eggs playing in their little tour
naments this year. Roland Mac
Kenzie, who hasn't been eligible for
P. G. A. membership before, is o. K.

test in most of 'em this year.
The two club Journeys are at Manor
and Argyle. At Manor Jim Cosgrove

tournament with puts included on
three selected holes. It's all part of

ranged, with many features to be run

Pairs Augusta Rounds for
Record-H. Smith Shows
Value of Putting.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

A UGUSTA, Ga, April 8.-The
" late masters tournament fur
~ nished all the proof you need
d N that anything can happen in
game of golf. Craig Wood was the
shining example. His drop from an
opening 88 to 81 and 90 set new
tournament record.
1t would seem impossible for star
pro to be 2l strokes apart in two sue
cessive rounds, but that is just what
happened to the golfer who came close
to winning in 1884 and 1885. And the
odd part is that Woods 81 might
easily have been a 64, to make the
gap even wider than it was.
In addition to playing high-claSs
golf, Horton Smith again proved the
value of putting blade. When
you watch the suffering and the nerve
punishment that takes place on the
greens, it is relief to watch a putter
who apparently has no fear of missing
the cup at any reasonable length. 1t
is treat to watch the smoothneSS of
his stroke, especially on the long ap-
proach puts over sloping turf Paul
Runyan and Johnny Revolta are not
far away around the greens, but Smith
still leads them all.
Enjoys Great Season.
THE Joplin Ghost has had the best
season since his famous march
Six or seven years ago. Smith and
Picard have been the two tournament
leaders. Horton got a jump on the
field early in the campaign with two
IN a row and his play at Augusta
stamps him as one of the favorites at
Baltusrol for the next open. which
will be one of the widest scrambles
any championship has ever known.
Lawson Little's debut in the pro
ranks was far from being bad under
conditions that upset more than a
few old campaigners. He was hitting
the ball exceptionally we'll most of the
time without any luck to help him out
A lot in golf depends on where and
when you make your mistakes. One
error or slip might cost nothing. An
other might easily wreck a score.
Thomson Swatting King.
JIMMY THOMSON proved again
that he holds his place as the
longest hitter in golf. When you can
play 500 yards through a heavy rain
with drive and a iron, you are
hitting golf ball. How does he do it?
Clubhead speed through the ball tells
the story. Thomson is not only a fine
Swlnger, but he is also powerfully
built, with the arms and shoulders
and hands needed to build up this
clubhead pace.
Little and Craig Wood are next to
Thomson in length. Little is es-
pecially good with his woods through
the fairways, where his control from
close lies is well above the average in
any field.
The best all-around athlete in golf
Is Bobby Cruikshank, who is a star in
eight or nine varieties of sport. Be-
fore entering the war he was the best
amateur boxer in Great Britain. Also
one Of the best soccer and rugby
players. And no game has ever
brought out a finer competitor than
the wee Scot from the Seaforth High
landers, who is still one of the star
golfers of the world
