Wiffy's PLAY Is Sounder,

CONSISTENTLY low in the pro
matches played throughout the
latter part of the season Cox has
proven himself a sound golfer in every
affair in which he has competed. So
has Walper, although Leo lacks some
thing of the soundness of Cox and
his steadiness. If there's one little
matter that will separate the sheep
from the goats it's a 72-hole medal
play tournament. Cox and Walper
were tops in the two big affairs of
that distance played in the local sector
this year. The Maryland open cham
pionship is coming up next week at
Baltimore. which may prove something
more. But that is only a 36-hole af-
fair. not as tough test as a 72-hole
tourney.

W|FFY FOR YEARS
A NATIONAL STAR
Leo, Comparative Novice in
Game, Lacks Balance
of KenW00dian.
BY w. r, McCALLUM.

n OMINATED for the two top
N professional golfers about
" Washington for 1887: Witty
A Cox of Kenwood, District of,
Columbia open champion, and Leo
Walper, Middle Atlantic Professional
Golfers Association champion.
These two, Walloping Wilfred from
River road, and Larruping Leo from
the outer reaches of Wisconsin avenue,
have proven their spurs in the two
major tournaments held in this Sec
tor this year, and without much ques-
tion are the top pair in any unscram-
bling of the dope among the men who
earn their living by their skill at golf.
Witty has been fine golfer for dozen
years; probably one of the first 10 in
the United States over that period.
Ten years ago Leo knew what golf
club was. but he knew little else about
1t. Five years ago he counted it
good day if he broke 80.
Walper Makes Strong Recovery.
COX'S performance in the District
open, which he won with a total
OF 29l (his last round played in a
driving rain) stamps him as the top
golfer of the year around Washington.
But Walper, coming from behind after
bad opening round 49, to finish Sec
ond, proved that he, too, can play
lot of golf. Walper, in case you over
looked it, started with an on the
very first hole of the championship.
That's quite load to carry in a medal
play tourney but he played fine golf
thereafter to score 70, 70 and "a.
Had Cox not played through the
rain he probably would have scored
286 or better. He wound up 81 holes
Of the title tourney with 213, which
happens to be exactly par for the dis
tance. Out in 36 over the last round
he took AZ to come home, but that can
be excused under the conditions. Nor
mally he would have been 73 or better
on that last round, judged by the way
he had been scoring previously.

Navy cruiser Louisville, speeding
under full steam. would reach tn
vessel today. The stricken ship,
which sent its second SOS early
today for the second time n three
days, was reported to be approx
imately 700 miles from Honolulu.
Two other vessels answered her
call for assistance and were speed
ing to her aid They were the PAN
amanian motorship Fijian and the
U, S. coast guard cutter Roger B.
Taney,
Radio reports said that the paa-
sengers were working side by side
with the crew in attempts to con
quer the flames Heavily REIN
forced hoses were run from the
boiler room and steam was shot
into the burning hold In an at
tempt to smother the fire.
Heat from the flames was SO
intense that tar used 20 water
proof the seams on the deck melt
ed and bubbled out.
The latest distress call from the
English vessel came early today
when she reported her fire cut )f
control and asked all ships within
the vicinity to aid in removing
her crew and passengers.
The Silverlarch, bound from Los
Angeles to Calcutta with a cargo
of crude oil, first flashed distress
signals early Thursday when fire
broke out in her hold. Later in
the day she reported the blaze
under control. Still later she re-
ported the fire was again raging.
