COTTON WORKED HARD TO SCALE GOLFINC HEIGHTS
Americanized His Ga m e and Won Recent
 British Open
By HARRY GRAYsON Sports Editor, NEA Service

Henry Cotton, as colorful as the raiment he wears, for the second time in four summers has defended the prestige of English golf by win- the British Open.
 In view of what happened to the pick of American professionals under abominable conditions, Cot tons 2o0 at historic Carnoustie was noteworthy.
 It was at Sandwich in 1894 that the one-time darling of Eton school returned the British Open championship to his native land for the first time in a decade.
 On that occasion he shot the two finest rounds ever recorded in major competition, 67 and 66, which enabled him to tie Gene Sarazen's then all-time major championship record of 283 for 72 holes.
 I like the story of Cotton being carried from the St. Georges course at Sandwich in 1894 after virtually being driven from England 1S months before-his returning to make them like it and him.
 Cotton, 30 now, and always 8 young man who spoke his mind, was hissed in the same tournament the year before.
 Cotton attracted attention from the very outset.
 Mayfair Didn't Approve His Turning Professional
 Handsome Henry studied civil engineering, and was slated for an administrative post in India or South Africa when the depression struck England.
 He had to make living, and turned to the one thing he could capitalize quickest and do best, but Mayfair was properly scan- dalized when one of its most promising amateurs turned pro- fessional.
 Cotton didn't like the status of professionals in Britain and said as much.
 He wasn't exactly crazy about playing international matches free, gratis, and for nothing.
 His refusal to join the British Ryder Cup team that performed at Columbus Scioto in 1881, be- cause he could not remain in this country as long as he chose after tho inatces, caused a great deal of unfavorable comment.
 British galleries treated him unkindly. There were cheers and exclamatons of delight when he missed a putt or fuffed an ap. proach.
 So early in 1883, Cotton chucked 1t all and accepted an appoint ment as the professional at the Materlod club In Brussels. That kept him of other Ryder Cup squads under the absurd rule that deprived England of the services of percy Alliss and Aubrey Boomer, who taught on the cont. nent.

Cotton, Made Golfer,
 Americanlxed His Game

Cotton, Made Golfer,
 Americanlzed His Game
 Cotton, a made golfer. took what he could use from Harry Vardon, j.. H. Taylor, James Braid, Walter Hagen, and Bobby Jones, and then Americanized his game.
 He made the 1928-29 winter swing on this side for the latter purpose.
 British players are content to hole out in two puts. They figure that any place on the green is good enough for the pitch" re. marked the slim Englishman, after learning his lessons. "Amer- jeans think otherwise. They pitch for the cup every time and save many strikes.
 "The friendly criticism of Amer- ican pros Is a big help"
 Bernard Darwin, the distin- guished British critic, solemnly be. lieves that Cotton worked harder in the making of himself than anyone who ever lived.
 He is of the opinion that If Cot ton had not worked amazingly hard he would have been an ordi- narily good player, and nothing more.
 Cotton's genius really has con- sisted in the infinite capacity for taking pains, and the more glory is due him because the game did not come easily.
 Thomas Henry Cotton got his full share of glory in his latest triumph, and 1t was pardonable pride that kept him repeating: T kept those Americans out, didn't IF"

informed the gentleman chambermaid whom
she summoned to help her pack. 1T was his
night to howl and l was green enough to
believe him.
AN L'amour!" sighed the gentleman
chambermaid sympathetically. 1T is not
always gay!'
"Love!" snorted Arizona. ME love that
stack of alfalfa? Nix, pardner, have friend
back home who's got that gent beat high
wide-and- handsome. All that's worrying me
right now is what I'm going to tell his poppa."
His pappa?" exclaimed the gentleman
chambermaid. "How extraordinary are the
customs of the barbarous Americans!
Fortunately the last part of the sentence
was said in French and so was lost on Arizona,
who, by this time, was at the telephone, deep
in struggle to make M. Lelong, High Com
manding Porter in Chief, understand that she
had trunk to go to America by the Great
Ouickness, and that it must depart at once.

wanted to know. Two o clock? w lthat catch

fact mercy on both of us, because if she doesn't
make the Normandie, Colossal Studios will

When the trunk was finally locked, labeled,
and entrusted to a couple of M. Lelong's
menials, Arizona busted off her big, beautiful
hands and, arrayed in the humble sports
clothes which we're now her only garments,
descended to the dining room and ordered

"A steak" she commanded without any

salad, and for dessert, herd of those little
intoxicated doilies you call pancakes"
A little later, fortified by this repast, Arr
zona gathered up her big white hat, stuck it
firmly upon her golden head and prepared to
sally forth to what she called the shooting
galleries" Lafayette, IN search of clothing.
Until she received instructions from MIR.
Spratt as to her next move, she would, she
decided, have to wear something. And if her
instructions we're to await the end of the
dressmakers' strike and the delayed opening
of the spring shows, she d need quite ward

people who couldn't understand their own
language, even when she spoke it. was going
to be worse job than hog-tying the liveliest
dogie on the range. However, this test of her
courage was delayed by the unexpected re-
appearance of M. Poi]esse.
The great dress1naker rushed across the
lobby to Arizona, his face beaming once more.
Even the shock of her present costume failed
to dampen the enthusiasm with which he
greeted her, and nothing would do but they
repair at once to the darkest corner of the de-
serted writing room. There, with an air Of
great mystery. first looking carefully about to
make sure they were unobserved, he disclosed
the reason for his extraordinary excitement.
"Mees West" he said earnestly, Il have

collection of yours. you swear it ees original?
That nobody see him but me and the great
artist who create heem?"

feeling lust like one of those clothes-hosses
at the National Show, as she put it mentally.
But NJ Poilesse had remained disappointingly
silent throughout the performance, the little
of his face that was visible above the beard, a
white and silent mask. Every atom of his
previous enthusiasm had vanished, and when
the last garment had been trailed about
before him, M. Poilesse had picked up his

growing admiration. I'VE might" he ven

"Oh, sure!' said Arizona heartily. II knew

to meet him? No, suppose not. But Spike told

"Mademoiselle!' said M. Poilesse with
dignity Tonight you shall see re Paris of re

The evening gown Arizona chose from her
Hollywood collection was glorious brocade
that clung to her lovely figure trif1e more
revealingly than she would have liked.
But if happen to get any soup on this
kind of goods, it won't show she told herself
consolingly; and so Colbert or Carlo, or
whoever gets it, will never know the
differencew Then she swathed herself in the
matching wrap, gave her glorious golden head
final shake and went down to greet the
completely stunned dressmaker, whose soul
was promptly torn between drinking IN the
details of what she wore and worshippng
at the shrine of her own beauty.
Even in strike-ridden Paris, the Ritz Bar,
the Refine Ptdauque, Maxim's, functioned en-
tertainingly. And by eleven-thirty Arizona
and the bearded Frenchman were on genuinely
friendly terms. Seated beside him on ham,
q,.etle at Harry's New York Bar, Arizona s

Bad Inferences,

While North and South held tre-
mendouS values, there was no way to
avoid the loss of a diamond and
spade trick, and the slam contract was
down one. or course. it was pointed
out that If South had held three dia-
monds and two clubs he would have
been able TO discard one of his spades
on dummy's third club and make his
contract.
However, We feel that the slam def
nitely should not have been bid. and
completely blame South for getting
there. North's early bidding was cor
rect; in fact, we think he restrained
himself somewhat in not bidding even
more strongly than he did. However.
South realized that his partner held
tremendous hand, and invited the
slam himself by the five-club bid. Now
North accepted by his five no-trump
bid, but at the same time warned
South of the following: First, he did
not hold the ace Of diamonds tother-
wise he would have accepted with
bid of five diamonds); second. he did
not hold good spades, since otherwise
he would have accepted by a bid of
five spades. Accordingly, South should
have realized the great possibility of
both diamond and spade loser, and
hence should have dropped the hand
at f1ve no-trump, contract which
would, OF course, have been lay-down.
