TWO SETS Of GOLF
PARSBE|NCURCED
Topnotchers Make Joke
of Figures Far Beyond
Dreams of DubS.

- OLF courses must come in
l Y for a considerable revision Of
~ their par figures il the pros
keep on banging the ball
around we'll below par, in the opinion
of Bob Barnett. the red-thatched
mentor at the Chevy Chase Club.
Bob firmly believes that any hole
which stretches out around 47o yards
in length no longer is par affair
and that some revision should be made,
either lengthening the par distance,
or have two sets Of par, one for the
pro and the top notch amateur, and
the other for the run-of-the- mine
higher handicap player.
Bob's own course-that Of Chevy
Chase-has a par 50. which generally
is conceded to be the toughest and
most rugged par to approximate
around Washington. Chevy Chase
also has watered fairways. which
doesn't make the job of getting down
around par any easier And 1t also has
the longest par hole around WASH
ington in the sixth, hole which
measures less than $50 yards by the
card and actually plays nearer ATS.
I'm not criticizing any one who
sets the par Of golf course" says
Bob But I think we should recog-
nize the distances golf balls can ne
driven nowadays and what the pros
and the first-ranking amateurs can
do. You hear Of men playing courses
in so many shots under par. Actually
the way the boys play nowadays par
doesn't mean a thing-if it ever did.
Factors Affecting Scoring.
1.-TWO factors do have a consider
able bearing on scoring; wind
and rain. the latter Of which means a
slow course. But when you consider
that the pros pump tee shots out $50
yards and more and convert a 400
yard hole into one that can be played
with a drive and pitch you can see
what par means"
How about that tough Burning
Tree course, where the par by card
is 1872" we asked Robe-'
"The actual par of Burning Tree, as
it would be played by the pros, is 6s,'
he said. THE second, ninth, tenth
and sixteenth, all par IS from the
regular tees, would be par IS for any
national championship field. OF course
If they watered those fairways 1t would
be different. But it used to be 4
pair 68.
I just can't see how they can lay
down hard-and-fast rul- about par
They say they don't take weathe,
conditions and ground contours into
account, and that ii a hole measures
$50 yards airline, it's par 4, and II
it measures 45l yards airline it's 3
par S. But when course is bakeo
out by the sun and wind the boys don't
think anything Of walloping a tee
shot 300 yards-carry and roll. How
about your par under those condi.
tions?"
Too true. Robert. Par is an inf1exibl<
fgure, and it's tough enough to gel
close to, under any conditions. But
for the pro game, when you hear OF
Sammy Wallop getting around in {
under par, find out what the weathe,
conditions were before you begin

n YEW YORK, June 7.--Tourney-
M hardened professionals, al
most completely in command
OF American golf, are ready
to grab the headlines again In the
national golf championship this week.
There are ITO golfers in the field
that starts the three-day grind at
the Oakland Hills Club, Birmingham,
Mich, Thursday. and OF the number
l43 are professionals, group that
includes almost every flrst-hight pro
In the Nation.
Johnny Goodman, open winner in
1888, heads the 27 amateurs. A glance
at the rest Of the list shows the boys
who compete for the love Of the game
have fallen on evil days. There is
no Bobby Jones to bid for the crown,
nor Lawson Little, listed. Not even
Goodman is given much Of a chance
to pass the pros in COLTS greatest
test.
Field Packed With Stars.
HENRY PICARD, Jimmy Thomson.
Norton Smith and Harry Cooper.
winners Of the Inverness invitation at
Toledo; Byron Nelson, Johnny Re-
volta, KY Lafioon, Denny Shute, Paul
Runyan, Tony Manero, the defending
champion; Ed Dudley, Olin Dutra,
Ralph Guldahl and jimmy Hines are
among the favorites priced at less
than 20 to to win.
In addition, veterans like Macdon-
aid Smith, Gene Sarazen and Willie
MacFarlane will be in the race for
the big money.
Newest addition to the list OF big
name golfers and the brightest bit
OF golf1ng color to cross the fairways
since Walter Hagen arrived In the
big time is Sam Snead.
On his record, Snead tops the new
crop of pros. Almost unknown a
year ago, he has come to the fore
with two big victories in Southern
tournaments and admirable shoWings
In the masters tournament at At
lanta, the tournament Of the gardens
at Charleston and The P. G. A. Add
to that the most impressive sectional
qualifying score and you have a worthy
addition to a field OF master shot
makers.
Ryder Contest Adds Test.
THIS is not the first open for the
| Michigan course. Back in 1924
Cyril Walker won with a 297 total
for u holes. Every open winner since
Walker, with the exception of Jones.
will be back for another crack at the
course, which is 7,037 yards long and
has par 70 listing
The quest for berths on the Ryder
Cup team has given the open an added
flip. Thirteen players are eligible
for the four open places on the team
and if none wins the title selection
will be made on the basis of combined
scores for the P. c. A. qualifying
rounds and the open. Thus far Byron
Nelson is in the lead with Jug Nc
Spaden, Runyan and Laffoon tied for
second; Dudley and Vic Ghezl dead
locked for fifth and Hines and Snead
| for seventh.

termining the best golfer Of the year
OF hand you'd call the national open
champ the best golfer. But when you
take consistency and average scoring
into account you don't always get the
best man. Take Manero for example.
Tony packed a mighty punch last year
in the final round at Baltusrol, but he
didn't win many more. And Cooper
did win some more.

Lacks Finishing Punch.

RUT Cooper, good as he is, seems to
us to lack that finishing punch
that wins championships: that lethal
wallop in the last round that won titles
for Sarazen, Hagen, Manero and Jones
You couldn't put your finger ON the
why and wherefore of it, but It Is a
fact, nonetheless that Cooper has had
the title in his hands several times
and has tossed 1t out the window.
Last years brawl at Baltusrol was a
case in point. Had Harry finished
with brace Of IS which wasn't so
tough, he'd have been in with 2S2. He
took two IS and left the door open for
Manero to slide in. General opinion
is that If Harry had bagged those two
As Tony mightn't have done 1t to tie.
But Cooper didn't and Tony won.
It's been that way 50 many years

accuracy in golf, Is a good champion

IF LOUIS trained as hard and as

that he learned something since the
Schmeling setback, his chance Of win
ming the world title would be much
better than it is
At the present writing one cannot
but feel that Louis thinks the fight Is

to work overly hard
Unless he changes his viewpoint
and gets down to serious work In
short order. Braddock's task of de-
tending his title will be much simpler
than it was when he started training.

even the figures support him. Fig
ures, in case you didn't realize 1t, are
the main factors around a major golf
tournament.
BY any system Of handicapping pro-
fessional golfers on their tournament
record Of any year Cooper figures to
be the winner Of the national open.
He's won three tournaments already
this year, and his average finishing
position in eleven events has been be-
tween fourth and fifth.
To get the significance OF Cooper's
position you must realize that the

Detroit Bomber cannot bring his SIM
pie mind around to the fact that he

The manner in which he tosses

preston he is stacking up against
one of the varied assortment of
washed-out second-raters he met up

away his time at sun-scorched Lake
wood, N. j., for his fight with Max

WHEN Louis entered the ring

determined veteran willing to swap
blows and gamble on his experience

The lesson was painful and costly
one. But for the tenacity Of Joe
Gould and the undisclosed plans of
Braddock. the champion would have
fought Schmeling instead of the De-
troit Negro.
The sparring partners Of Louis
hardly merit attention. Joe has
slapped that sort over with 16-ounce
gloves so often that the intent OF a
swing Is sufficient to cause them to
swoon Seal Harris continues to put
his rubbery body in the way OF Joe S

the first CLINT in Joe's eye.
No one is hurting the rubbery tar
baby. Seal Harris has had his flight

ing. He does not mean to be punched
around by Joe Louis for $40 a day.
Other than to furnish the spectators
a laugh, Harris is just as much use
