Sturges, the Der Fuehrer of the De-

Earl Kunkle, president Of the
Morphy unit, 0pines that he

think some one would get in a
burning streak and tear around in So
or SO, that one at Washington is the
spot. And yet an amateur course
mark of 66. set 10 years ago by Maui
rice Mccarthy, still stands. No other
amateur has tied 1t. The reason, of
course. is that while Washington Is
short on the yardage side, It's plenty
long on trouble. And when golf
ball goes into a ditch full OF water
there's lost shot and nothing can
be done about it. Oh. yes, Al Hough-
ton played it in 81 in 1884. but that
was under Winter rules and Al was
no amateur.
1t wouldn't be fair to say that the
present crop of Simon-pures are not as
good at scoring as the boys who led
the parade and 10 years ago. They'll
prove they are within the next month
with some low-scoring marks that will
cause some chin dropping.

SITHE hardest shot in golf. Why
man, they're all hard. There
isn't an easy one in the
L lot. But guess the fourth
putt is the easiest"
Fred Mcleod grinned about it. He's
played his share of the tough ones
and the easy ones since the day 33
years ago when he landed in New
York and marveled at the land of his
Adoption, its bigness and strangeness
yep, they're all tough. And they
get tougher as the years roll by"
But come to think of it Fred takes
back that crack about the fourth putt
being the easiest. He thinks the fifth
putt is the real pushover in golf And
don't laugh, for it can be done. Give
a man a combination of a long ap-
proach putt across down-slope on a
green about as sick as the surface Of
a grand piano, high wind, and a
quick slope below the cup and he can
take five puts and like EN-
At least Fred had to like em al
Augusta a couple of years ago, where
he took five on the fourteenth green
of the National course. When l
holed that fifth putt l felt as if some
one had reached over and shaken my
hand
Putt Becomes Tough.
NOR is Fred convinced that the
half-inch putt is an easy shot. We
don't mean to harp on putting or on
McLeod's putting, but the two seem to
go together so to speak. There was
the time. for example, at Pinehurst,
where Fred Mcleod had a great
chance to win the North and South
championship. And he blew half
inch putt
Playing with Sandy Armour he was
q shot back of the leader At the
seventh hole he stuck his tee shot on
the sand (they had sand greens in
those days. about feet from the
cup. Now a 4-foot putt to Mcleod
on a sand green was practically a
gimme" He knocked 'em in without
ever thinking about em.
But this time his timing was a

the rim of the cup. More than a
little annoyed he made a stab at the
ball with the putter, touched it, and
the ball wavered and stopped.
I don't know how I holed the next
one" laughs Fred. Il topped it in.
I hit it so completely on top that I
guess the wind of the putter as much
as anything knocked it in. That was
the hardest putt ever had to hole,
and I've had quite few tough ones
Pitch Offers Real Test.
sRUT seriously I guess the hardest
shot for the average golfer is a
straight pitch to well-trapped green
You can get what I mean when you
put guy who doesn't know the sho
down below our seventeenth here a
Columbia. It's 10 to he won't know
what to do with it: that he'll top II
or knock it clean over the green.
THE easiest shot is the topped
run-up and surprisingly it gets fairly
good results if you top 'em straight.
But they all get tough after while
I find that golf doesn't get any easier

WASHINGTON experienced little
trouble in trimming Detroit,

OF the third inning and increasing
the gap over the route behind the
effective pitching Of Carl Bean.
Bean, Harry Hofberg and Phil
Boundford each contributed three hits
to Washington's l5-hit attack, as Bean
was limiting the Motor City crew to
eight safeties.
