Lillian Rixey Old Whata
Golfer stood over DIR. BEN BA-
KER, of Baltimore Country
Club, and showed him how to
hole out that pitch shot to the
green for an eagle deuce on the
par 4 seventeenth. He h a d
ahold Of EARL McALEER' S put
ter when he sank his second
shot on the 195-yard twelfth
green. And he brushed the lit
tie smidgeons of earth from the
path Of BOBBY BROWNELL'S
two long puts on the twelfth
and fourteenth holes to help
him drop two deuces.
70 Under Par
But, try as hard as he could,
Old w. G. couldn't get them
to break par on Hole No. after
lunch. Not one Of the 46 con-
tenders for the eight berths at
the National Amateur at Oak
mont could break that par 5
hole, with their tummies full.
This gentleman, known as o.
w. c., is none other than the
best composite score chalked up
by all of the As players. Here's
what he did:
Morning round
Out :. E?3!3S $50
Afternoon round
Out E. 5 3 8 8 4 3 4 4 2-31
(Look, he's slipping; but no)-
And the sad part Of it is
that you can't beat that even if
you tried for some thousands
Of years.
I find that as a golfing handi-
capper I'm not so bad. Before
yesterdays amateur trials I
listed the eight golfers whom
I thought would be Pittsburgh
bound, They were BOBBY
BROWNELL, SPENCER OVER
TON, OTTO GREINER, MAR
TIN MCCARTHY, M. PARKER
NOLAN, BILLY SHEA, GEORGE
MOLLOY and ERFORD
BARNES. Only BARNES failed
!, me. BROWNELL, OVERTON,
, GREINER and MCCARTHY all
qualified among the first eight;
holland won the second alter
nate position.
Next time I'm going to make
book on the event.
Oldsters at Rye
MILLER B. STEVENSON, Of
Columbia, is one veteran who is
too young, at the age Of So, to
play in senior events. COLONEL
EDWARD CLIFFORD, of the
u. S. Seniors Golf Association
board of governors, was out
scouting for talent at Congress
Sional yesterday when MR..
STEVENSON shot his 152 for
seventh place in the Pittsburgh
national championship, topping
0 field of 80 youthful contenders.
But white-haired, sy-cheeked
MILLER STEVENSON is doing
all right where he is. Maybe 10
years or so from now, he might
have to step into the veteran
class.
