Extra Power Gives Turneso
Advantage in Long Morch.

This final test will be interesting,
Dudley told me. "On one side, We
have fine golfer-a really fine golfer
in Willie Turnesa-who can get all
the distance he needs-who can play
every type OF shot
Mechanically. he is better golfer
than Abbott. With the extra power
Turnesa has, he should be many holes
better over 36-hole march. But
Abbott has a wonderful faculty for
concentration all day long Few golf
ers have this-even the better pros
who make their living playing the
game. This is the hardest thing in
golf to handle. Ask Bobby Jones or
Gene Sarazen or any one else.
Abbott never loses contact with his
Joo. He keeps on using his head. max
Ing no foolish mistakes He has a full
grip on himself at all times. Which is
the big idea"
At his spot, we watched Abbott hit
his tee shot. His backswinp was slow
and you could see that his body turn
was planned effort, not a natural
easy pivot.
All his motions are correct" Dudley
said. but they have to be planned in
advance. On form and style and power
"A valuable asset over Oakmont as it
is now-Turnesa should win. But don't
forget that any one who can pitch and
chip and putt as we'll as Abbott ALWAYS
can have chance over any course.
You can make almost any mistake in
golf and get it back-except the mis-
takes you make upon the green. They
are gone forever"
Unruly weather put large and dis
tinct Kink into Oakmonts champion
ship. 1t drove the galleries away and
1t softened the course into something
approximating 4o0-yard test. Scores
have been high. But there has been a
definite ieason-especially when it
comes to hitting 200 and 220-yard ap-
proaches from the soggy mush of many
fairways where the ball clings to the
wet turf
Willie Turnesa, with the game he
has. certainly is due to bring cheer and
comfort to the pleasant village Of Elms-
ford and his six anxious brothers In
the pro ranks.

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. IL
Sidney Wood, jr,, at 26, playing prob
ably the best tennis of his life, laced
the drum-fire of Donald Bulge on the
stadium court today as the national
singles championships reached the
semi-final stage both in the mems and
Women'S divisions.
Four matches were up for settlement,
but the spotlight played on Wood S
effort to break through the mighty red
head, who up to today hadn't SO much
as dropped set in the worlds four
great tournaments this year.
Trying to lick Bulge has come to
be looked upon as thankless task,
but if Wood could keep his game at
the white heat it was in his 60,
6-3, 60 victory over Bryant Grant,
jr, yesterday, he promised to extend
the big chief.
Wood was disappointed that he
wasn't picked on the defending Amer
lean Davis Cup team. and he's pour
ing his soul into one last, grand effort
to win the title He's II pounds
heavier than ever before and has a
forehand vastly improved over that of
1885, when he lost in the final here
to Wilmer Allison.

1t is curious thing about Wood
that ne won the Wimbledon cham
pionship as far back as 1881, when he
was wh:te-haired kid playing in linen
knickers, but has never since been able
to take major title. For the last few
years ne has played scarcely any seri-
GUS tennis, being too busy with his
mining business, yet now he has

contenders? Barney Welsh, the seeded
No. l entrant, and Hugh Lynch, seeded
No. 2.
Price Colvin Of Baltimore was among
the entrants and although he is re-
puted to be undefeated this season, he
wasn't expected to offer much of .
threat to either of Washington's first
two players. He was, however, third
on the seeded list which was COM
pleted by Bill Breese and Jimmy Far
rim in the Nos. 4 and spots.
1nasmuch as 1t was an invitation
tournament, only 80 players were
paired for hrst-round matches today.
Among the more attractive duels were
those involving Ed Mather and Ted
Pierce, Bill Breese and Bernie Blankin
and Buddy Adair and Harry Brinker-
hof, jr. None Of the seeded players
were expected to be extended.
