down big Harry Todd, 22-year -old
Western amateur champion from
Dallas, 1 up, in classic semi final

Chick. the stoical son of a golf pro-

Harry was even better, two under,

Longwood Final
U. 5. Tennis Stor Wears
Down AustruIiun for
Win in Four Sets
By the Associated Press.

BROOKLINE, Mass, July pa
threat of the first all-foreign final
in the Longwood Bowl tournament
in its At years was dispelled today
when Gene Mako, the United States
Davis Cup doubles partner of the
departed Don Bulge, called upon
all of his tennis talents to wear
down the supposedly superior Jack
Crawford of Australia for an 8-6,
3-6, SO, 6-3 victory in a ragged
semi-final.
Mako, whose superb ground
strokes offset his faulty footwork,
moved from one Australian to an
other. for he will encounter the more
capable Adrian Quist in tomorrow's
final.
Although the 31-year-old Craw-
ford wilted badly against Mako, a
brief rest revived him enough to
give Quist yeoman service as they
gained the doubles final by outbat-
tling William and Chester Murphy,
the stubborn Chicago brothers, for a
best-in-three-sets semi-flnal by g.
6, 3-6, GA margins.
Helen Bernhard Gets Title.
That result made both ends of the
mems finale U. S. A.-Australian
events, for Mako and Frank Parker
of Pasadena, Calf, qualified yester-
day, when Quist gained the singles
title round with a straight set win
over Bobby Low, young Stanford
student.
Play in the women's section was
concluded with 17-year-old Helen
Bernhard of New York dominating
the final singles play for the second
straight year by defeating the more
experienced Katherine Winthrop of
Boston, Ga, Ga. before the latter
teamed with her townswoman, Mrs
Virginia Rice johnson, for 6-3,
6-3 title victory over Elizabeth
Blackman of Detroit and Marilynn
McRae of Little Rock, Ark.
Mako Wears Down Crawford.
Mako surprised the gallery of
$500 by reeling off the first four
games. The American interna-
tionalist gained a vital break in the
ninth game, but Crawford delayed
the end by firing a barrage of
placements.
However, Mako's volleys and lobs
enabled him to break through Craw-
ford in the 18th game and run out
the first set.
Crawford, despite his inconsistent
service, played Mako off his feet in
such convincing fashion during the
second set that the latter changed
his tactics and wore out the veteran
in the last two sets to win.

Links Author Of 1897
Looked With Scorn
On Professionals
Principles Of Play Laid
Down by Whiehom Would
Hold Good Today

Handlebar mustaches were in style.
Bustles were the cutest things. And
golf was the game of the classes
rather than the masses, as it is today
when H. j. Whigham wrote in 1897
one of the first books on golf done
by an American golfer. Golf was
new in America then. Scottish play
ers, and particularly Scottish profess
SIGNALS, were the gods of the game
And the clubs and methods of those
days would seem like a bicycle built
for two against the high-power boys
and the streamlined clubs of 1899.
The wide-sweeping st. Andrews
swing was the thing, and the guilty
ball, which could be driven the as
founding distance OF 200 yards, was
the accepted pellet.
Scorns Professionals.
Tournaments were being won with
record breaking" scores of 80. Even
an ordinary golfer nowadays thinks
he's had poor round if he takes
80. But everything was different
then. AZ years ago, before the infant
golf had grown from a game played
by few thousand to the army of
5000 900 today who shoulder their
golf kits and march forth to battle
with par. There wasn't such a
thing as par then. The golfng goal
was an indeterminate figure called
DOGGY" A DOGGY today means a
hole over par.
Whigham looked with some scorn,
however, on professional teaching.
las for the professional" he said,
generally he is young, and without
experience in the matter of teaching.
He is ignorant of. the ways of the
people he has to deal with, and hav-
Ing no respect for any game but his
own, he is unable to distinguish be-
tween errors which come from in
nate viclousness and those which
have been induced by familiarity
with the cricket bat or the tennis
racket.
Lastly, he can seldom account
for his own proficiency, Golf with
him is more second nature than an
u. v.
holds true today.
It's Quite Simple.
But Whigham had something back
there AZ years ago. THE head of the
club is kept travelling as long as
possible in the line of the balls
flight" he said. Which happens to
be about all there is to golf. If the
clubhead travels in the correct ira
jectory a distance of about ~
inches during the impact period, the
shot would have been right in
Whigman's day, and it will be right
today.
Yes, many of the funny things
that go on over some 1000 or 5000
golf courses in this country TODAY
were going on over the few links"
of Whigham's day. But the game
itself has changed tremendously.
Who nowadays. for example, plays a
cleek? 1t was one of the better
clubs in 1897.

Hopes Of Gallagher
Comeback Ruined
By Rough Simon
Marty Fails to Capture
Single Round, Gets Bad
Beating; PreIims Good

There may be some good fights
left in the melloWing muscles of
sinewy Marty Gallagher, but last
nights 10-round fiasco with Abe
Simon-a young Primo Camera
modelled along the same lines as the
Monument-Wasn,t one of them.
Gallagher dropped the decision, fall
ing to win a single round and alb
sorbing one of the worst beatings of
his lengthy career en- route.
With the duke Marty also blew a
chance to box Buddy Baer, another
undernourished Gargantua of $50
pounds, who Promoter Goldie
Ahearn insists he will import later
in the month. A shot at young
Baer would have been a boon to
Gallagher's comeback hopes, but the
only course open to him now, if he
persists in fighting, leads to un-
profitable bouts with young punks
and has-beens.
Simon Rough, Good Boxer.
In Simon, Gallagher tangled with
man as rough as himself and a
much better boxer, and it was
Simon's ring generaliship as much as
his barroom manners that whipped
the 1rishman. The District gladi-
ator connected with only three good
punches and one of these was an
open-glove left hook to the head in
the early rounds that failed to i'm
press his opponent.
Matte Brown, an ancient warrior
and old Gallagher enemy, groaned
as a shower of gloves bounced off
the Celt's whiskers and shook his
head in dismay as Marty tried to get
away from his hulking foe only to
be speared by a left hook. 1t was
plain to Brown and every one of the
300 fans that Gallagher had no
chance.
Gallagher's kidney was as red as
a 20 ledger by the third round as
Simon buried an unending stream
OF leather in his flesh. In the last
round his left eye had an oriental
shape, and blood oozed from a cash
under the right optic. Simon beat
Marty at his own game-infghting
with a dash of wrestling. He beat
him to the punch, speared him with
long lefts that never failed to find
Gallagher leading with his nose, and
he had defense for everything the
1rishman attempted.
Prelims Provide Action.
Action abounded in the prelimi-
naries, with Billy Bullock rallying
to win the six-round semifinal from
Ray Ingram. Al Gilbert, a middle
weight, scored a double-hit. the most
important connecting with Wild Man
Marino of Baltimore, whom he fiat
tened in 2:40 of the second round.
The second kayo of the evening was
credited to Ell Brookman, who foored
Sam Bacala of Baltimore in 2:42 of
the third, after the latter had been
saved by the bell in the previous in
ming.
Kid Norfolk punched his way to
a draw with Buddy Holmes in the
opening 4-rounder.

F|aherty Sings Blues
With Irwin, Justice
And Turner Out
Broken Ankle Takes Don
For Year, Others Can't
Face Dodgers Sunday
BY RAY FLAHERTY,

NoaCH, "abHlIlRtON 6teQSklnS.
If yesterday was the usual blue
Monday. today is black Tuesday
for the Redskins and me. Frankly,
our situation never appeared dark
er, for a combination of scouting
the Brooklyn Dodgers in their
1913 victory over Pittsburgh last
night and the report of our team
physician has given me cause for
the deepest gloom.
You probably know, by now, that
we've lost Don Irwin for the sea-
son, that Jay Turner is out for
three weeks and that we can't ex-
pect Ed Justice back before a week
from Sunday at the earliest. Add
the name of Max Krause, who
played his last football of 1899 on
October l. and you have four vet
eran blocking backs stricken from
our club at a crucial time in the
championship race. And good block
ers don't grow on trees.
Twins ankle definitely was
shown to be broken yesterday, while
Turner has torn Igaments and a
torn cartilage in his left knee, which
has been placed in a cast.
Spirida Returns to Backfield.
AS a result, I'm planning to con-
vert Johnny Spirida, who's been
playing a bangup game at end for
us, into a blocking back to go with
Erny Pinckert, Red Morgan and
Jimmy Johnston. Spirida, you re-
member, came to us as a back two
years ago and the position won't
be entirely new to him, but Morgan
and Johnston both are rockies,
meaning that Pinckert is the only
experienced blocking back on the
team. Heaven help us if anything
happens to one of them!
Then today I found that WAYNE
Mlllner had a knot on his ankle
about the size of your fist, some
thing which we didn't discover
after the game on Sunday. Whether
ne will play Sunday also is prob
lematical, which, with Spirida Shift
ed to a back, means that two ends
would be lost.
Don't let that APPOINT margin
by which the Dodgers tripped the
Pirates last night fool you. The
Dodgers were more or less content
to loaf along, realizing that they
must play us six days hence. If We
win by % points next Sunday, like
we did in Washington, I'll walk
home, singing Hail to the Red
skins!"
Sees Dodgers as Improved.
Also don't forget that Brooklyn's
added Sam Francis to its lineup
since they played us, and the old
Chicago Bear fullback still is one
OF the best line-crackers in the
business. Since losing to us the
Dodgers have won two out of three
games, their lone defeat being a
7-6 setback by the Giants, whom
statistics showed they outplayed in
every department.
Ace Parker still remains the
Dodgers big threat, however. "All"
he did last night was to account
personally for every one of his
teams II points, throwing a touch
down pass from the Pirates 9-yard
line, running % yards on cutback
of tackle for the other touchdown
and booting field goal from the %
yard line for the final points.
Quite a man, that Parker.
All in all. I saw more than
enough to discourage me. AS if 7
needed to be!
