She looked up at him with eyes

Deadly serious"

He could not find it in his heart
to say to her: "There may not be

and nodded.

Eighth-seeded Ed Mather's bid to
upset third-seeded Jimmy Farrin
was to high light the only two
matches to be played in the Dis
trict Recreation Departments ten
mis- tournament at Friends School
this afternoon.
Mather, veteran of Wimbledon
and former partner of Wilmer Alli-
son. hasn't been up to par this
season, but win over the NAVY
Leech Cup star might do much to
aid his local ranking.
The only other match scheduled
was a doubles encounter between

The former team was decided

Lynch appeared in for an upset
defeat at the hands of Allie Ritz

in the second before Lynch could
get going. The favorite finally pre-
vailed at 2-6, Ga, 6-3.

can compete with the pros on their
own chosen ground-medal play
and who may completely dominate
the amateurs even as Jones did.
Further, they see in this Spokane
boy with the scrappy disposition a
youngster who once more may pro-
duce the bulky gates that Jones
drew.
They don't forget that only an
unlucky bounce may have kept Ward
from winning the open champion
ship this year. Had he done so he
would have been the biggest money
attraction in the game, even though
he is tabled an amateur. His tee
shot at the thirteenth hole at Spring
Mill in the final round hit a woman
spectator and bounced into bunker.
Instead of par 3 he got 8. He
finished one shot back Of tie with
Nelson, Wood and Shute.
Ward Climbed Hard Way.
Ward is not yet the eye-filling,
popular figure that Jones was. He
isn't by any means the glamour boy
that was the Bobby of 1926. Mar
vim, in fact, has come up the hard
way. He hasn't had any wealthy
pappy to supply the cash to cam
paign for golf titles everywhere in
the world. He used to tote golf
bags for spending money and he
isn't any pampered kid. Nor was
Jones. But Bob, even though he
went seven years without a major
title. remained the uncrowned champ
during those seven years. Every
one knew he was the best golfer.
Now the U. S. G. A. has Ward, a
boy who may be good enough to lick
the pros at their own game. If he
does prosperity suddenly will hit the
links solons again. They've been
begging for . fellow IKE him.

Bv WALTER McCALLUM.

Two and perhaps three OF the top
figures of amateur golf around
Washington are out of the District
simon pure title tourney, which be-
gins tomorrow over the classic
reaches and narrow fairways of the
Burning Tree Club.
John P. Burke, the Providence

last year, has not entered the tour
nament. Neither has Roger Peacock,
the reigning Middle Atlantic cham
pion and former District titleholder
Most important of all, Bobby
Brownell, the 1886 District champ
and the lad with the brightest 1889
record of any amateur around town.
is on his way back today to Duke
University and has passed up the
title tourney. Before he left Bobby
dropped the word that Burke had
told him in Chicago last week that
the Rhode Island redhead does not
intend to defend the title he won at
Congressional last year. These
three-Burke, Peacock and Brownell
were supposed to be the men to
lick in the coming championship.
None of them has entered today.
No Lack Of Class.
But despite the absence of that
trio the championship has plenty OF
class. AS entries closed last night
with Secretary Barr of the District
Golf Association, the good Bill
Barr revealed that Claude Rippy
winner of the Chevy Chase tourney
for the last two years. is to make
try for the District title This one
will be Claude's second tournament
start of the year. Also you can't
lightly toss aside the prospects of
such good divot-f1ingers as Ralph
Bogart, Billy Shea, the 1887 champ;
Page Huffy, playing over a course
he knows very we'll; Buddy Sharkey,
and Gene Pittman and Parker No
Ian, the top Congressional duo.
Yes, even though Burke, Peacock
and Brownell have not entered,
there won't be any catastrophe at
Burning Tree. The other boys know
their way around the golf course.

Mid-Ahantic P. 6. A.
Awarded Columbia
October 4-6
Meet, Open to Amateurs
First Time, Likely to
Have 81, 500 Purse

The Middle Atlantic Professional
Golfers Association championship,
for purse which may run more
than $1,000, will be played at CO.
lumbia Country Club october 4,
5 and 6.
Announcement of the award of the
sectional pro event was made today
by Bob Barnett, chairman of the
Course Selection Committee, follow
ing a meeting of the Columbia
Board of Governors last night, at
which the tournament award for
that club was O. KID.
The tourney will be played over
the 72-hole medal play route for
the title won in 1887 and 1888 by
Leo Walper, unattached driving
range professional.
For the first time in its history
the P. c. A. sectional champion
ship will be open to amateurs. If
an amateur wins, the top pro will be
the champion, while the amateur
will receive a merchandise award.
Testimonial to Mcleod.
First day of the affair will be given
over to an professional
event, with all the amateurs to come
from the membership of Columbia
Country Club. After that the tour
nament will be played as a testi-
monial to Fred Mcleod, Columbia
professional, former national open
champion and present senior P. G..
A. title holder.
Mcleod will be the guest of honor
at dinner at Columbia the evening
of october 6.
Announcement of the tourney
award to Columbia climaxes months
of effort on the part of the pros.
Purse of $500 Likely.
They appointed Al Houghton to
work up program which would
carry sufficient advertising to insure
a good purse for the event. Hough-
ton has raised, he claims, around
$4,000. Together with entry fees at
S. each this would insure purse
of about $4,000, making the affair
the biggest held in Washington in
many years.
All members of the P. G. A. in
Maryland and Virginia are eligible
and all amateur golfers also will be
eligible for special prizes.

Postor Not Type to Conquer
Double BorreIed Bomber

They've thrown guess at almost
every type of fight that might take
place. AS far as anyone can figure
in advance, there can be only one
type of fight-Louis moving in with
both hands, ready for the smash
Pastor on the defensive, keeping
out of trouble as long as he can in
the hope that Louis will get be-
wildered or baff1ed and perhaps blow
up.
I don't think Louis will get be-
wildered or baffled. He still is the
hardest two-handed hitter the ring
ever knew, and he still is in his
prime.
If Pastor carried a knockout
punch, he might have chance. But
he never has shown any large pack
age of dynamite in either hand, and
Pastor has been around five or six
years.
He may last some time longer than
Tony Galento lasted-but he won't
be as dangerous at any time.
He may have enough foot speed
and ring craftiness to keep out of
reach through several rounds, but
he isn't the type Id pick to beat
Joe Louis-who can be hurt rather
easily by a first-class puncher. Hurt
but not wrecked.

For nearly four prof1tless years the
United States Golf Association has
been looking for successor to
Lawson Little as the bell-wether OF
the amateurs Before that they had
five lean years looking for a fellow
who could pull 'em in at the gate as
Bobby Jones used to do. Little
seemed to be the answer. In 1884 and
1885 the fellow was a ball OF nre
among the simon pures, winning
the amateur championships of the
United States and Great Britain.
He didn't have the crowd appeal OF
Jones. for the Little of those days
was an aloof person who didn't mix
we'll, but he did have the winning
touch.
Then suddenly Lawson turned
pro-in the spring of 1936-lured
into the plaid ranks by cash and a
contract.
Gate Still All-Important.
Big time golf is like any other
sport. 1t depends on the gate for
it's living. Bobby Jones was the
perfect answer to the wish of the
golf moguls for a rich association,
socks full of gilt-edged bonds and a
wealthy outfit. Bobby won the
amateur championship of 1890, COM
pleting the grand slam, and pulled in
more than $4,000 at Philadelphia in
1890 The next year, without Jones,
the gates dropped to peanuts. They
didn't begin to'get bigger until 1885,
when Little pulled 'em in and Sam
Snead began to go in the open
championship. This years open
championship gate at Philadelphia
was in excess of $4,000, biggest
since 1890.
