DENVER, June Husky John
Montague has been tagged Holly
woods mystery man" of golf. but
he makes no mystery of what he
thinks of Cherry Hills, battle
ground for the National Open this
week.
Grand" was the way he de-
scribed it after his first game over
the course, during which his mean
derings took him to q mud fiat
bordering ditch where he twist
ed the handle of an iron blasting
back onto the fairway.
There's nothing wrong with this
golf course" Montague asserted.
However, he will be in the gallery,
not on the firing line, when the
open starts Thursday.
He only shook his head when
newspapermen queried him about
his score.
The burly Hollywoodian, about
whose golfing prowess tall tales
have been spun, said he thought
par golf-a shade over or un-
der" should win the 1888 open
title. Par for Cherry Hills Is ii.
II really think this Is the most
important open ever held" Mon
tague said. For one thing, it Is
being played In the West for the
first time and for another more
people are interested in golf than

the women's Trans-Mississippi golf
tournament at Oakhurst Country Club

The most striking pair here are Mrs.

Youngster Shows Nerve.
Mrs. Hill was runner-up in the first
Trans Miss at Kansas City in 1927.
Alice was only 8 years old then.
But at sundown yesterday Alice
showed them all how. Caught in a
play-of with three others in the quail
flying round, she split the fairway for
23o yards with her drive and ap-
preached nicely. She ran her first
putt too far, then gritted her teeth and
dropped the next one for (which is
par for little girls like Alice, and big
men, too.
Pretty blond Alice meets another
youngster, Patty Berg of Minneapolis,

ySoAt 1hSiSAi iloo soiiC a loAlS way 1loll
the awkward and uncertain girl who
was runner-up for the same title back
in 1881 to Mrs. Haynes Helen won
her way to that final by sheer strength
and considerable driving power. To-
day she has the same power. plus a
lot more, but she also has attained
finesse.
Il feel as if can really putt" she
said today. with that shy Dettweiler
grin. Il don't like to say I'll keep it.
You never know about putting. It's
with you one day and the next day
it's gone. But I really feel that
can hole some of those Shooters now"
Give Helen that putting ability, and
combine 1t with her acknowledged
power from the tee and on the other
big shots. and no woman in this sec
tor is going TO lick her. q
Her whippings in previous
years have come from shaky
putting and hastily iron
shots.
She met strong-hitting Ellen Kim
caid In the opening round OF the
title tourney today Helen qualified
with 79 to win the medal. Ellen
qualified with 81, the last one to make
the top flight of the II flights who
started match play today. The diff
ference is II shots, but it. isn't so
much when you consider that Ellen
used up IL wallops on the lengthy
18th hnln IN ha ofl
Helen had chipped into the cup for
bird 3 on the 18th, she dumped
her second shot into q trap on the
next hole-a comparatively easy par-4
hole-and took 6. You never know,
but Helen should lick Ellen. Sue me
If it sounds like pun. Helen didn't
need to compete in the medal round.
She entered the tourney sew
eral days before entries closed,
but she didn't know definitely
that she could play.
She also wanted crack at the quail
fication prize. She got the crack and
the prize, too. And she probably will
grab the title again before the week
Is out.
Is Different Golfer.
It's hard to describe, but there's
something about Helen this year that's
as different from the difhdent gal Of
past seasons as Miami and Boston
in January. Far from cocky about
her golf game, she has assurance.
When she steps out there on the course
you know she is going to play well.
Where she missed pitch shots last
year. this year she is sniacking 'em
up alongside the pin. Where she blew
some short puts last year. this year,
with a funny new putting stance. she's
knocking them in. The District cham
pion is different golfer nowadays

ance in har nun ability

Marion Brown, the new record
holder at Indian Spring, is a factor
to be reckoned with in the champion
ship. Marion finished second with 81
in the medal round and not satisfied
with her game spent two hours prac-
ticing behind Al Jamison's golf shop.
II any one upsets Helen Dettweiler 1t
might be the Brown girl. But Marion
and Betty Meckley, that tried and
true competitor, are in the same
bracket in the draw, and they prob
ably will stage a repetition of the
Middle Atlantic final of 1887 before
the tourney gets very far along. Al
together the scoring SO far in the
tourney has been phenomenal and in
match play some one may break IS.

Twenty-year-old Lewis Worsham

Three former champions and the
reigning title holder will play In the
34th Middle Atlantic Golf Association
championship at Pennington, Va, next
week. Billy Shea. the lanky George
town youngster who won the crown
last year at Congressional, will be the

and long-hitting Harry Pitt, who
grabbed the major sectional crown
back In 1928.
Reservations at the club, which has
ample accommodations for the large
group Of golfers, are going fast. and
all will be exhausted in few days.
At least two dozen players from the
Capital and few from Baltimore
will make the 1l5-mile trip to play
in the three-day tourney, starting
June 16.
Course Pays OF on Accuracy.
Pennington is one of those golf
courses which pays of on accuracy.
Stretching out to around $500 yards
from the tee, the layout is cut up
with water hazards and trees. A
flock of d,ogleg holes invites the slug
gers to cut dangerous corners, but the
man who wins the tournament prob
ably will take the orthodox route to
the green.
They've changed a few of the holes
in anticipation of the Middle Atlantic
but essentially the course will be the
same as that on which several Vir-
ginia championships, including the
State open title tourney, have been
held.
Pennington has fine golf course a
layout which ranks with the best in
this territory. But the man who
doesn't keep the ball in the groove

course where the hazy hills Of the

talkative and friendly, hurries away
through the rear entrance with nary

there's the one who, realizes junior
would have won had he not been up
against that favored player SO early
in the tournament.
