Only Cotton Menaces Snead.

1T TOOK Jones three years of bat
ting in the open before he was
victorious, but think Snead will bet
ter than performance. Sam not only
Is one Of the longest and straightest
hitters in the sport, but he also has
developed keen skill with the irons
and putter
The one chance that Sammy will
fail in the open is the possibility that
Henry Cotton, the British champion,
may come cunning for the United
States title. I am inclined to believe
this Cotton is about the best golfer in
the world today and he may have too
much for Snead. although the Rocky
Mountain course may be too strange
for the Briton to display his true skill.
The tea leaves, cards. sand and
crystal point to John Goodman Of
Omaha as the repeating amateur
champion. 1t took Johnny long
time to adjust his game to match play,
but he found the formula at Alder
wood last Summer and knows it by
heart. There are numerous fine ANA
teurs in the country, but none with
quite the skill from tee to cup pos
sessed by the little Nebraskan. Pro-
fessionals regard Johnny as smart"
golfer and he is more consistent with
all clubs than any Of his probable
rivals.
Crown Seen for Marion MiIey.
FOR the women's championship,
now held by Mrs Estelle Lawson
Page. my nominee is Marion Miley of
Cincinnati. That girl hits the ball
better than any woman since joyce
Wethered. Glenna Collett Helen Hicks
and Virginia Van VIE were winning
titles.
She has mans swing and almost a
mans power of the tees and through
the fairways and, If at the top of her
game when the championship is played
at Westmoreland, Chicago, will over
power any rival. Patty Berg again will
be in the forefront, but she lacks the
steadiness OF Miss Miley.
Since the United States never has
lost a Walker Cup match, it will not
break precedent when invading Great
Britain next summer. With such stars
as Goodman, Ray Billows, Johnny
Fischer and Freddie Haas to head the
team, the United States will be strongly
represented and retain the Walker
urn without much trouble. The
United States also is picked to win
the Curtis Cup. although our girls
will have considerable difficulty in
turning back the British.
There you have the preview of the
1888 golf championships, and don't
tell me the Powers Predictor, Ltd, Is

Expensive Golf Ace.
FOR scores Of years it has been
traditional for the maker Of Z
hole-in one to buy the pro . bottle OF
Scotch and to set EN- up for the boys
in the locker room. But it gets pretty
expensive when the ace is made on
a Sunday afternoon, for example.
1t happened to Maj. Kendall J.
(Wooch) Fielder, vice president OF
the District Golf Association, at the
Manila Golf Club. The eighteenth
hole at this club is a one-shotter
around 200 yards and Fielder, who
happens to be good golfer, made his
ace In the presence Of some $50 folks
gathered on the club porch and on the
lawn.
Il wore a pencil out signing drink
chits," says Fielder Hope next time
I make an ace it'll be on cold winter
day."
But a New Zealand golfer has q
better scheme. He made 3 aces ovel
q short stretch and the consequent
expense almost broke him. So he in
quired around and finally bought an
insurance policy protecting him
against the crowd which gathered
whenever the sharpshooter played
golf.
It's the first time we've heard of q
golfer insuring himself against an ace

ably 1t never has been done before

But that fifth hole at Washington is
no cinch, by any means.
Dave Thomson, the club pro; r. T.
Harrell, p w. Calfee and Ralph Fow-
Ter were the perpetrators of this
unusual stunt. All Of them. except
Fowler, holed lengthy puts for their
birds. The hole plays around 300
yards, but the green is an island
affair surrounded by traps. and the
tee shot Is blind over a high hill.
Harrell, from the back edge of the
green. hit 45-footer which found
the bottom Of the tin. Calfee canned
a 30-footer Thomson then holed
l5-footer. Fowler, who had put his
pitch shot feet from the cup, got

THE way those boys were knocking
