Course for Long Hitter.

FRANKLY, the course looks too
long for Tony Manero, the 1895
champion. Tony just isn't long
enough to win at Oakland Hills and
in our opinion the crown will go to
some long hitter like Sam Snead,
Ralph Guldahl. Byron Nelson, Jimmy
Thomson or maybe Witty Cox.
WiSe-cracking Wilfred, keen to win
Che's getting along toward 40 and he
hasn't so many years Of winning
ahead Of him), took his practice the
hard way at Burning Tree yesterday.
Wifi played 36 holes over tina,
rugged layout, using the back tees all
the way, and he scored well enough
to convince himself and any skepti-
cal observer that he'll be no puff ball
IN the coming jamboree at Detroit.
Well always have hunch that
with little better putting luck Will
fred would have come mighty closa
to winning the battle of BaltusroI
last year. He holed 10 two-inch puts
in his first-round IA When you're
holing so many short ones you aren't
scoring badly, but also you aren't
quite getting your share of the breaks,
He can win at Oakland Hills.

TO THE well-conditioned play
er, like Barney Welsh, it would
mean nothing to play for
4 singles and doubles Champion
ship on single afternoon. Even
player not devoting all of his time
to tennis could get through two
final matches.
But because most of the Districts
leading players get on the court only
after day at the Office, and because
even on Saturday or Sunday after
Moons they're in no shape to play four
or more hours at top speed, the COM
mlttee handling The Stars City of
Washington tournament decided not
to risk something which might de-
velop into nothing more than a sham.
In other words, with the pros
poets of two players appearing in
the final match of both singles and
doubles, the committee has elected
to play each on separate days. Un-
less beaten today, the paK which will
appear in both singles and doubles
is Welsh and Dooly Mitchell. Welsh.
as We have stated, probably could
take it" Mitchell the accountant
professor player couldn't-physically.
The program, therefore, calls
for the singles championship to
be decided tomorrow afternoon,
starting at 3 O'Clock with the
titular doubles encounter set
for Sunday at the same hour.
E'VEN should he win The Star Cup
again tomorrow, Welsh will be a
long way from Mitchell's champion
ship record in this particular tourna-
ment. Dooly won the City of Wash
lngton tournament for five successive
years, starting in 1881. Half the time
he received little more than Nice 60
ing, kid for his feat-prizes being
somewhat unknown in this tourney
BY reaching the final round a con-
testant now is assured of an award,
guaranteed by The Star.
In addition to the aforementioned
reason, there was another factor which
influenced the committee in sched-
ullng the doubles final for Sunday,
the spectator factor. Probably nine
out of ten would rather see a bristling
doubles duel, with all of its fast
moving action among four contestants,
than singles. More fans always
turn out on Sabbath afternoons, there

Great Finish by Walker.

out Bobby Jones by three shots Cyril
Is out Of high-class competitive golf
now, taking what odd jobs he can find.
He hasn't been tournament factor
for five years and more and maybe he
never will be again, but he put on a
finish out there that was worthy of
any champion who ever won a major
crown.
The sixteenth hole at Oakland
Hills is 430-yarder across vide
lake, where the second shot must be
hit perfectly. Cyril came to that hole
with tVo-shot lead over Jones. One
miscue at that sixteenth, a halt-hit
iron shot and he couldn't win. His
reply was birdie. He won the cham
pionship by three shots, with 297 to
300 for Jones.
Both Of 'em are out of it now. but
the way Walker played those finish
ing holes was worthy OF any cham
pion at tops.

set by Tony Manero for a major
championship. Oakland Hills will
stretch out to 7,037 yards and will be
a little heaven for the long hitters,
