 Perkins says too many golfers swing too lustily on long iron shots.
 The stroke should be uniform" |" cautions the Englishman. "The player should swing no harder when distance is required than on the shorter shots. The natural loft of the clubhead should do the greater part of the work"

VESTS GOLF WON
BY BEA BARRETT
First Major Title Gained
With Ga Victory Over
Helen Hofmann.
By the Associated Press.


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, June
ls.-Pretty Beatrice Barrett finally
shot her dream game" of golf and
won her brightest prize. the women s
western open golf tournament. on
Broadrloor's mountain battle ground
today.
Hitting her shots at killing pace
in the last stages. the blue-eyed 81
year-old Minneapolis girl defeated
young Helen Hofmann, Salt Lake City,
brunette. and 4, in the champion
ship match scheduled for 36 holes.
Never before had Bea won a ma jor
golf championship. although she has
been runner-up in three.
The new champion was out in front
all the way after winning the 464-
yard par S second, when Helen, whose
putter time and again played her false,
took three on the green.
Bea went two up at the end of nine
and held the same advantage at the
end of 18 holes.
Husky Helen pulled to within one
hole of Miss Barrett on the 373-yard
twenty first. and again on the 337-
yard twenty-fourth.
Helen's final challenge was made on
the 443-yard twenty-sixth when she

Defeat of Moody Conqueror
Makes Jad,ciga o-Fauorite
With Marble IN Net Classic

Before the war, however, 1t was
another story. Mrs. Alfred Sterry
won the women's championship for
the fifth time when she was 81. Mrs.
Dudley Larcombe and Mrs. Lambert
Chambers both won on the center
court when theoretically they were
too old"
The two players who have tied Mrs.
Moodys record of seven singles cham
pionships are Mrs. Chambers and
Willie Renshaw Mrs Chambers won
in 1903. 1904, 1906, 1910, 1911, 1913
and 1914; Renshaw in 1881, 1882, 1888,
1884, 1885. 1886 and 1889.
Mrs Moody won the championship
in 1927, 1928, 1929, 1880. 1882, 1888
and 1885.
Bulge Stands Alone.
Probably the only other player
capable of dreaming of such a record
today is Don Bulge, who holds three
Wimbledon titles-singles, doubles and
mixed doubles-at present and is so
outstanding this season that nobody
Is paying much attention to him.
Bulge, at %, is without rival IN
the amateur ranks today and un-
doubtedly could stay at the top at
least through his twenties. But 1t is
conceded generally that his attempt
to win the four international cham
pionships. Australian, French. British
and American. this year is but a
prelude to his turning professional
next winter.
Anyway. there's a feeling here that
the center court will be seeing him
for the last time in the Champion
ships next week.

A news clipping, yellowed with age,
tattered and torn, turns back the
hourglass Of time to the. turn of the
century and describes q sort of bogey
character, believed then to be fic-
titious, for factual truths gave a
sharp, vivid coloring to the chess pro-
clivities Of the young American re-
siding in Paris during the winter of
1900 bearing the sobriquet of Albert
w. Fox.
Glamour and mystery cast q strange
aura of he-exists, he-exists-not about
the living personality of Albert Fox
as his games were reported from sew
eral European cities almost stimuli
taneously
When the great world champion,
DR.. Emanuel Lasker, scanned one Of
Foxs games he was amazed at the
depth of mastery displayed. Napier,
writing in the Pittsburgh Dispatch Of
that day, refers to Fox as q Morphy,
uses such terms as wizard, puzzling
depth, brilliance, etc.
Certainly Washington was proud of
its son, and the name of Albert w.
Fox scared aloft to come to rest on
one of those heaven-crowned peaks
reserved only for those who have at
tanned international acclaim as chess
master.
Played in Antwerp, December, 1900,
the given game is replete with thrills,
and through the courtesy Of Mrs.
Clara Bickford, who found the valu-
able news item hidden among the
leaves of q chess brochure belong
ing to her great-grandfather, w. w.
Welsh Of Rockville, Md, it is presented

PONTE vEDRA BEACH, Fla, June
18.-Carl Damn, for years one of Flor
ida's ace golfers, won the Southern
amateur championship today in de-
cisive fashion over the sun baked fair
ways Of the Ponte Vedra Bach course.
Playing steadily from the start and
seldom in any trouble on this layout,
the 2s-year-old Damn registered an
s-and-7 victory over Jennings Cor
don, tall veteran from Rome. Ga.
Damn took the lead at the 14th
hole and from then on the outcome
never was in doubt.
Damn was six strokes over par for
the 20 holes played. Only twice did
he miss shots. In the morning round
he nubbed three straight chips and
took bad seven on the par-5 18th.
This afternoon at the 25th hole he
missed his only tee shot.
Gordon for the most part hit his
tee shots well, but had no end of
trouble with his iron approaches.
