would be known all over the Nation.
But the fact that he did it at all,
playing four rounds OF a par II
course in an average Of 6612. is am
pie proof that Rippy is quite golfer.
Unfortunately Claude is better at
medal play than he as at match play,
or so say the men who have watched
his development on the public links.
Put him in a medal play tourna-
ment over any public course and he
will win it by mile" says Harry
Graham, East Potomac PARK man
ager, but Rip doesn't play as well
at match play as in stroke competi-
ton
Nevertheless Rippy is good enough
to go long way in that forthcGm-
ing national public links champion
ship at Farmingdale, Long Island. A
few rounds of inspired shotmaking
like the 66 and 81 he produced at East
Potomac last week and he will be
a hot shot in the championship
and can win. He is good enough to
beat any public links golfer in the
country.
r 1PPY'S best showing over private
courses with their well-trapped
greens and their greater length, came
in the Indian Spring tournament of
1884, when he went to the final to
take a drubbing from Roger Pea
cock.
He has played in several others.
among them the tournaments at
Chevy Chase, Woodmont and Ken
wood, but never has gone far, which
leads to the thought that perhaps
Rippy isn't as good on a tough golf
course as he is over his own courses
meaning the public layouts.
But that isn't strictly true The
young man Che is only 23) can play
all types of shots. but he hasn't been
able to play bunker shots SO well be-
cause he hasn't had the chance to
practice them. Rippy may surprise
lot of folks at Farmingdale. He can
win the national if he keeps in the
scoring groove he had last week.
Entries will close tomorrow with
the Maryland State Golf Association
for the mixed Scotch foursome tour
ney, to be held at Manor Wednesday.
This affair, always one of the most
popular of the seasons tournaments,
probably will draw a crowd of 200

Miss Didrikson will play an exhibi-

partner, against Witty Cox of Ken
wood and Bob Barnett Of Chevy
Chase, starting at o'clock.
Cox Ties Kenwood Record.
CHE will play from the mems tees,

her extreme length (she is undoubt-
edly the longest hitter among the
women golfers of the landD, she may
get around in 73 or better again. An
admission charge of 81 will be made
to see the match.

said Bob. But I was inter-
ested in watching men play shots
that showed their mastery of the
game of golf. walked around
watching 'em all up there at Baltusrol
and in my opinion these four men
Smith, Cox, Armour and Cruickshank
were the best shotmakers in the
tournament.
Tony won. and he thoroughly de-
served to win. He played the best
golf anyone showed there at Baltusrol,
but for sheer shotmaking give me the
four men have named. They can
60 for my dough any day"
The showing of any competitor in
72-hole tournament doesn't always
accurately reflect the kind of golf he
played, Barnett thinks. And why?"
we asked him. Because putting and
chipping is so important in scoring"
said Bob. You know every cham
pionship is won around the putting
green. If you aren't putting, you
aren't going anywhere in the national
or any other tournament and these
four men didn't happen to be putting
particularly we'll. But for their ability to
keep on knocking the ball long way
and straight, and doing it all the time,
they can go for me-"
Smith Makes EN- Look Easy.
MAC SMITH, according to Barnett,
AA has been behind the 8-ball in the
national open so long and he made
so many unsuccessful Sallies that it is
little short of tragic the Carnoustie
Scot never has won national title.
What a golfer he is" sighed Bob.
"What a maker of shots never to have
won a uational championship. don't
think many people realize what
great artist he is. He can make shots
like no one else in the tournament
and make 'em look easy. But he just
doesn't have that knack of getting
the ball in the cup that some of the
other boys have.
And don't let any one tell you that
Witty Cox isn't good" Bob added
When you realize that Witty had
SO puts in his first round of "a and
that he only had one good putting
round the true greatness of his per-
pormance shows up. Witty is one of
the straightest men I ever have seen
end he hits EN- plenty far. too. The
funny part of it is that Witty is a
darned good putter usually. He was
just missing 'em by an inch up there.
You might say that total of 10
inches, on as many puts, kept Witty
out of winning the 1886 national open.
Yep, those four men are really
great golfers. The marvel Of it is that
with their ability and their technique
they haven't wen a dozen nationals.
