Makes Tricky Shot.

"A LONG the line Of those raking iron
shots We have in mind one he
played at the recent Baltusrol joust.
Going to the sixth hole he had hooked
his tee shot into the trees with wal
lop Of 210 yards to a well-trapped
green. He looked long and carefully
and found an opening through the
foliage. The shot had to be played
with hook and it had to stop on the
green after a carry around 200 yards.
He hit that ball perfectly. It carried
the guarding bunkers, took long hop
and nestled up 20 feet from the pin
1t might, for any ordinary guy, have
been 6, but Witty came very close to
getting 3.
So good is he with those long irons
that If the tee shot is tight ard dis
tance is secondary considera ton he
prefers to take the iron club from the
tee. He can knock those long iron
shots through the eye of needle 200
yards away. There isn't a better man
with the long irons to be found any,

Y YOU'D think that a tight golf

Club where the fairways
(some Of 'em) are about as
wide as the wake of a speedboat
might balk the longest hitter Of golf
ball around Washington. Especially
when you consider that the greater the
range from the tee the more apt the
long hitter Is to wander from the
straight and narrow path.
But Monro Hunter doesn't fear mar
row fairways. The big guy from Edin-
burgh. who used to spray the ball
down those wide-open Indian Spring
fairways, had no more fear of the
narrow pathways at Manor than had
Max Schmeling of Joe Louis. Devoid
Of tht fear Munro cracked out sub

the best scores made this year at
Manor. In doing it the big man
bagged three birds and an eagle.
Yep, the eagle came where you think,

reached with colossal drive ana a

W|FFY IS WITHOUT
EQUAL IN COUNTRY
Doesn't Go In for Runyan
Theory of Short Woods.
Makes Great Shot.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

TT ISN'T by an arbitrary designa-
ton of an enthusiastic sports
writer that Witty Cox, the tall
Il Kenwood pro, is rated as Ameri-
cas- No. / man with the long irons.
The guy really can make the No. l
and No irons sit up and talk turkey,
Just as Tommy Armour can make the
pitching irons whisper sweet tales OF
pin-splitting shots.
Witty Cox isn't disciple of the
Runyan school of thought on the mat
ter of abandoning the long irons in
favor. of bag full of spoons, or
wooden clubs lofted back to take the
place of the iron clubs. Witty thinks
the iron is the proper implement for
a shot of 200 yards or SO, and has
worked so diligently along this line
that there isn't a pro hitting the ball
in America, or the world, who is more
accurate with the lengthy irons than
he. Runyan, on the other hand, thinks
the spoon is the shot, on the general
theory that the margin of error will
be less by hitting full shot with a
spoon than by walloping an iron shot
toward the objective.
Witty Is LuckleSS.
COX is plenty good with the pitch
ing tools, too, but his forte is the
play with the long iron clubs. Give
him flock of holes around $50 yards
IN length, where the second shot rates
a raking iron of 200 yards or more
and Witty consistently will be closer
to the pin than any man in America.
His brother pros rate him the No. l
man with the long irons, for distance
and accuracy.
OF course, Witty doesn't get much
chance to demonstrate his speciality
nowadays. with concrete-like fairways
where a well-hit tee shot goes 800
yards and 420-yard hole become a
drive-and- pitch affair But put him on
q hole like the tenth at Kenwood, the
twelfth at Congressional, or the four
teenth at Washington and he will be
plain poison. The way the guy can
wallop those long irons close to the
objective Is uncanny. and particularly
SO these days of sissy golf, when so
many men prefer the spoon to the
artistic play with the long iron clubs.
In a good many ways Witty is the
hard-luck man of professional golf.
For dozen years he has been banging
away at the national open champion
ship, and just like Harry Cooper he
has yet to win the bauble Witty never
has struck a putting streak in the open,
and If there is one thing you need to
win the big crown it is putting
streak.
