Western Open Lures
Mrs. Myron Davy,
D. {. Golf Star
Ace of ConeressionoI's
Linkswomen Builds Up
Fine Come in ; Years

Seeking bigger tournaments and a
chance to play against the best golf
ers in the land, Mrs. Myron Davy.
Compassionate ace feminine golfer,
plans a trip West to compete in
the womens Western open tourney
starting June 12 Helen Dettweiler.
now golf professional, will make
her first start as a pro in this affair.
More and more Women's tourna-
ments are tending toward open" af-
fairs, with the four pros of the
feminine game invited to play. The
four are Helen DettWeiler, Babe
Dierikson, Helen Hicks Harb and
Mrs. Opal S. Hill, quartet of good
feminine golfers who have been
lured into the paying field in golf
by the manufacturers.
Betters Game Rapidly.
Mrs. Davy, licked in the opening
round of the Maryland State title
tourney by Mrs. Leo Walper, scored
a 76 at Manor in a team match
against Baltimore. She has i'm
proved her game until today she
comes fairly close to being the top
feminine golfer of the town. She
will be one of the big three in the
women's District championship at
Columbia starting June 10.
And her rise to the top in womens S
golf is one of the epics of any game.
Three years ago she was scoring we'll
over 100 Determined to improve her
game she took lessons. practiced
assiduously and worked on the
mechanical end of the game until
she had grooved all her shots. To-
day she scores regularly in the mid
die 80S over long courses. Her 76
at Manor-only a stroke over the
course record for women-marked
her best score.
Mrs. Davys improvement is an
example to the women of Washing
ton that you don't have to have a
lengthy background of tournament
play, or many years of golf to play
a good game. But she has COM
pressed into three years as much golf
as the average woman plays in 10.
That's the reason for the downward
trend of the Davy scores.
Team Battle at Baltimore.
Over at the Five Farms course of
Baltimore Country Club tomorrow
two local teams of golfers will meet
two Baltimore outfits in the semi
final round of the Maryland two
ball championship. Earl McAleer
and Louis Fuchs of Congressional
will clash with Spencer Overton and
E. G. Barnes. while Claude Rippy
and Jock Olmsted will meet Ernie
Caldwell and Gene Bruning.

BuNa Ardent Prophet
Picking Snead 10
Win Open Title
Makes All Shots Better
Than GuldohI, He Holds;
Metro Lead Shared
By the Associated Press.


WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. May 81
Johnny Bulla, who has been doing
quite bit of golfing himself in the
Metropolitan Open tournament. likes
Sammy Snead to win the national
title at Philadelphia next month.
The hefty Chicagoan has some
very definite ideas on the subject.
He likes Sammy Snead and he likes
Snead to stop Ralph Guldahls mo-
nopoly on the only championship
that really counts.
Sans the best golfer in the busi-
ness" Bulla explained. Il like him
over Guldahl because he hits every
shot better"
Declares Sam Overgolfed.
Did John think Snead had i'm
proved enough over his showing last
year at Denver to win this time? "I
think he'll win, but he's not as good
as he was then. He's overgolfed
Sans worrier."
At the moment, in the met" open,
Snead has chance to win. He is in
second place, along with Defending
Champion Jimmy Hines and Host
Paul Runyan with scores of 14l at
the halfway mark. Those would be
good enough to lead if Jim Thomson
OF ShaWnee-on-Delaware Pa. and
New Hampshire Frank Moore hadn't
caught fire to break the record for
the Metropolis course with four
under-par Cts in yesterdays second
round. That gave them the Joint
lead at l40 after opening round 73s
Three Stars Bracketed.
Three other prominent pros are in
the next bracket at 142. They are
Lighthouse Harry Cooper, the Gro
ton, Conn, miniature camera fan:
Victor Ghezzi of Deal, N. j.. and
Henry Picard of Hershey. Pa. Run
yam and Ghezzi had COS yesterday.
AS for Bulla. he's still a slugger,
though on Thursdays showing.
when he led the field with a 68, he
has picked up some useful shots
While associating with Snead. Yes
terday he skidded back to rs and be-
came just another also-ran.

Declares 0olento Could Tell
All He Knows in Five Seconds

How about Galento?" says Mr..
Mccain feebly. There's a real
fighter. He's matched with the
champion. He should know some
thing, and he says he is going to
tell Nova all he knows"
That won't take him long" barkS
Dumb Dan. "Galento can tell the
kid all he knows in five seconds, and
still have three seconds left over to
say it's hot day. Galento should
be home worrying about whether l
am going to tell him how to beat
Louis or not"
Will you tell him?" says Mr.. Nc
Cam.
Sure" says Dan magnanimously.
Lead me to him"
This trick saves Nova's ear in the
nick of time. But do you suppose
that Lou is going to get into that
ring without hearing the Morgan
sure-flre system for beating Baer?
Absolutely not. When last seen, at
midnight, Mr.. Morgan was forcing
his way through Nova's bedroom
window with jimmy and a spare
set of teeth.

"Braddock?" says Dumb Daniel
Morgan, stung What the heck does
he know about beating Baer?"

"Poppycock!" snaps Mr. Morgan
Nonsense! You are talking gam

25.8 seconds, while he also eoualled
the 8-year-old mark of Gordon
Everett of 16 seconds fiat in the high
hurdles.
Legge, an all-around man, also
can expect trouble from Roosevelt's
speedy Lou Napoi, who took the
100-yard dash in 1872 seconds. and
competed in the 22O-yard race de-
spite a pulled muscle and finished
fourth. Napoli, with rest and treat
ment over the week end, is expected
to be IN good shape for Tuesdays
games, and is certain to make it in
teresting for the Virginian.
Another record fell by the wayside
yesterday when Al Hayden, Gen.
trails business-like quarter-miler,
shaved lilo of a second from the
440-yard mark, hanging up a new
standard of 5l.3 seconds. Hayden's
feat, incidentally, will be rewarded
by his dad in the guise of a new
auto. Al admits the thought of a
new gas-buggy spurred him on
when his competition faded and he
was in danger of loafing to the line.
A harder race might have seen the
record dropped still lower, but the
lad will have chance to do better
Tuesday.
Eastern twice was threatened with
misfortune in the all-important re-
lay, the first time when its Bill
Walker dropped the baton at the
start of the second quarter and lost
about II precious yards. Walker,
however, moved ahead under forced
draft and made up all but 4 yards
on his trip around the oval.
Claim of Foul OverruIed.
Then Hipsley, running the third
lap, jostled Centrals Edgerton as
they jockeyed for positions on the
first turn, and there was an imme-
diate cry of foul. The judge at that
point ruled. however, there was no
foul, that Edgerton's stride had not
been broken, and that both boys
merely had come together trying to
settle into stride. They were far
ahead of the field at that juncture,
and the final outcome of the race
made little difference in the matter.
When the final point score was an
nounced. Kelley nopped the beads
Of perspiration from his brow.
That's marvellous" he said.
These boys have a lot of courage
and they deserve a lot of credit.
Don't say anything about me. give
them the credit-they deserve it,
But the job that Kelley has done in
bringing Eastern back to the top in
one year is the talk of the local
track world. Opinion was unani-
nous that it was one of the best
meets in the long history of track
competition here and husky Neil
Edwards of Tech eagerly concurred
in the opinion. Neil won the javelin
with throw of 160 feet. adding 10
feet to his record on his final two
throws when he changed his style.
This new way is fine" he grinned.
Maybe I'll break a record or some
thing Tuesday"
