GIBSON, MD. ST.
OPEN CHAMPION,
MONEY! PLAYER.

Andy Gibson, Bonnie View pro
who yesterday won the Maryland
open, runs very true to Scotch
tradition, with one exception. He
is not dour, but shy. The brogue
is there with all the clickings and
cluckings deep down in the throat
which one associates with q golf
ing scotchman. And he's q
money player.
Andy is proud Of the fact that
this season he has not once been
out Of the money in any Middle
Atlantic p. G. A. event. He
qualified for the P. G. A. at
Shawnee, but Picard put him out
In the. first round. Yesterday at
Congressional he won first prize
money of 1920 for his 142 in SO
holes, plus SIS for the best ID
noles. His score: 1910, 142, which
was two under par.
Before he went to Baltimore's
Bonnie View as pro, he was as
sistant at Baltimore Country Club.
Before that, he lived where he was
born and raised-Prestwick, Scot
land. The lowest score he ever
made in his life was over the
Prestwick links, with q 81. He
holds the Bonnie View record with
a 66, and has equaled that score
over the championship Five Farms
links twice. He has never made o
hole in one.
His victory yesterday in the
Maryland open made him tops
over Cliff Spencer, defending
champion, by one stroke. in SO
holes; over Witty Cox, District
open champion, and AL Houghton,
four-time winner of the Maryland
open, by two strokes. Otto Grei-
|ner, who took first amateur honors
with 148, was six strokes under
GibSon'S mark.
The going yesterday was heavy
and tricky, with green's slow and
traps stamped down by the nine
day deluge. Twenty-Five Of the IS
contestants bettered their morn
ing rounds when the afternoon
sun came out to sop up some OF
the moisture.
On the back nine Of the last
round, the largest gallery was
glued to the performances OF
Witty Cox and Cliff Spencer, fol
lowing AL Houghton's early card Of
LA. Meanwhile, O handful OF
spectators watched Andy Gibson
slip in with his Sub.par score OF
142, ahead Of Spencer and Cox.
Both still had O fighting chance
to better the leader.
Cox had the best chance follow.
ing q front nine in par to Spen-
GERS one over. Continuing his
par streak, Witty turned in o u
for IA to tie Houghton at third
place, and Spencer. whose drive
plunked against the side Of the
277.yard green on the eighteenth,
missed o short putt for birdie
and his chance to tie the Bonnie
View pro for first place. He
scored 143.

skins TO MAKE.
GRID TECHNIQUE.
MOVIE "SHORT"
BY CHICK KENNY

~1AA~4A
The Washington Redskins, world
professional football champions,
go Hollywood early next month.
The team that transferred its al
legiance to the Nations Capital
from Boston last year and i'm
mediately won the championship
of the National Professional Foot
ball League will make q movie
short" for Paramount Pictures.
Actions will get under way at
Ballston Stadium, August Is, and
one month later the picture will
be released throughout the coun-
try. Arrangements were completed
last night between Redskin Off
Gals and Jack Eaton, Paramount
director and producer.
The picture will be the 1898
football feature Of Grantland
Rice's Spotlight series, with Ted
Husing, the famed radio sports an.
nouncer, the narrator. Rice and
Husing, incidentally, will appear
in the flicker along with every
member Of the Redskin grid
forces. It is believed that the
project will take three days to
complete.
EDUCATIONAL PICTURE
Unlike the Green Bay Packer
feature short which was released
last fall, the picture planned for
the Redskins will be devoid Of i'm
possible trick shots and the like.
Instead, the Redskin short" will
be q pictorial dictionary" de-
signed to educate the theater-goer
in the fundamental technique Of
the pro grid sport.
Oddly enough, the Redskins will
receive no revenue from the pic
ture. The management believes
that the wealth Of publicity at
tached to the short Is sufficient
reimbursement for the efforts Of
making the variety Of scenes.
The movie machines, grinding
away, will be nothing new to
several members Of the regular
squad. Roy Baker, trainer and
assistant coach, for instance,
right now is on location with an
R.K.O. unit in the Arizona desert,
employed in o technical advisory
capacity. Tackle Vic Carroll and
Halfback Erny Pinckert are others
who have appeared before the
camera ON HOLLYWOOD sets IN "bit"
parts.
SKINS GET INSTRUCTIONS
Notices of the start of the Red
skin training grind, together with
a set Of exercise instructions IS
sued by Coach Ray Flaherty, were
sent members Of the squad this
morning. The exercises are de-
signed so as to be started imme-
diately, in order that each player
will be in perfect condition when
he reports for duty August 10.
Enclosed, also, with each notice
was q warning that all players
must report on opening day, and
II not, would be subject to .
severe fine.
It was learned today that Dick
johnson, Washington State end
selected by the Redskins in the
draft in the mid-winter parlay,
will forsake the greenback cir
cult. johnson is the fourth
draftee of the eight selected to
pass UP the Champions. The
others are Fullback Sam Chap
man, Of California, now In the
throes Of O magnificent baseball
career as a member Of Connie
Mack'S Athletics; Elmer Dohr"
mann, Nebraska University ALI
America end, and Joe Hartman,
Georgia University halfback.

Clyde v. BUDDY

You white folks don't know
much about what's going on in
the Districts golfing Harlem.
There is as keen q battle raging
over the professional berth at
the course for colored golfers on
Benning Road, which will be
opened next spring, as ever there
was for any Of the championship
links Of the country.
Two candidates have pre-
scented themselves. One even has
q press agent. Florian Slappey
of Birmingham, Ala, is q promo
ter in q million, according to his
Boswell, OctavuS Roy Cohen.
But Caddy Pace out at Congress
sional can promote rings around
him when it comes to talking up
his candidate, Clyde Martin. fel-
low Congressional caddy. Mar
tin, who has O. pleasant, shiny
black face with a row Of white
teeth like Country Gentleman
corn on-the-cob, is PAGES man.
Press Agent Pace says he has
shot IS over the par " Congress
SionaI course and that once
Clyde put up his rent money in
o. match against former assist
ant pro at the club and won with
a 41-32-73. That 81 was three
under par.
Like Florian Slappey, Pace is
probably not in the promotion
racket for love. There may be
an assistant pro-ship or caddy
masters job kicking around on
Benning Road next spring.
The other colored candidate is
handicapped by lack Of q press
relations officer. He is merely
identified rs "Bubby, who works
in the golf shop at Columbia."
II Bubby expects to get any
where, he'd better hire himself
q press agent.
