Straight Or the Tee

and British open champion, and one
of the true greats of golf, often has
been called the finest iron player in
the world
Tommy himself thinks his wooden
club shots are better than his iron
shots. But you can't go behind the
record, which proves that Tommy
rates as one of the great masters of
the irons.
Makes Eighth Ace.
Discounting the fact that many
holes-in-one are made by topping
a ball which rolls through bunker
and into the cup, when fellow
makes a flock of aces, it must be
more than luck And Tommy has
just made his eighth ace 1t hap
pened on the 14th hole at the Me-
dinah Country Club. near Chicago.
That record probably puts Tommy
at the top of all American pros for
holes-in-one. He's still far behind
Sandy Herds record of II aces, but
then Tommy is young man with a
lot Of years to go in golf.
Sandy Armour, who happens to
be the original Tommy Armour
booster, in addition to being
Tommy's brother, told us all about
it during round of golf at Co.
lumbia yesterday. Nor is Sandy any
puff ball at golf himself. He's plenty
good.
Sandy also said that Bobby
Cruickshank of Richmond again
will hold down the pro berth at the
Gulf Stream Club of Delray Beach,
Fla, which is just 8 miles from Boca
Ration, where the Armour boys again
will be in charge of the golf shop
during the coming winter.

Like or Man River that grand
old man of professional golf around
Washington, just keeps on rolling
along.
At 81 years of age the most re-
markable athlete of his time-Fred
McLeod-thinks SO holes Of golf a
day is just a warm-up for another
36 holes the next day. And the next.
Freddie probably never will-in his
lifetime-approach the 535 rounds
of golf he played in single stretch
of 365 days about four years ago.
but he manages to do all right,
thank you. Right now he's in the
middle of one of those marathon
stretches. He has played nine con-
secutive days, and has done just II
rounds of golf in that time.
"It kinda cuts into my time but I
love it," says Freddie. Il feel pleas
antly tired when I hit the hay. and
the shots sort of get automatic. I
hit 'em the same way all the time,
or at least I like to think I do"
How about that day when you
played only one round?" I asked
Freddie.
Guess I was a little sissy that
day. You see I just wanted to loaf
that afternoon. But SO holes a day
is just a pleasant jaunt for young
fellow like me-
I wonder how many men at 81
years of age could walk SO holes a
day for eight out of nine days, even
without the effort of hitting around
$50 shots each of those days?
Mcleod Remarkable Athlete.
Fred Mcleod, to me, is one Of the
remarkable athletes of all time. The
man is a veritable dynamo Of energy.
He doesn't do things fast, but he
keeps on doing them. Golf, to him,
is his life work, and his life enjoy
ment. just as a good businessman
enjoys his work. Maybe that's the
reason Freddie keeps on going.
Part of it, of course, is due to the
presence of towering William w.
Hinshaw, the No. l golf bug Of
Washington. Hinshaw, now past 10
years of age, plays 18 holes with
Freddie every day the weather is
at all presentable, hits practice balls
for an hour, and only calls it day
when he is tired. But that's just
workout for Freddie. He grabs a
hasty lunch and starts out all over
again-freSh as daisy.
When the P. G.. A. starts passing
out medals for the iron man of the
year I have a candidate. It's Fred
Mcleod, probably Americas greatest
athlete at his age.

AS he is, there probably aren't

he can't lick. But the gap between
Louis and the others is so great that
1t would take more than Conn has
at present to get him over it.
He doesn't have to have murder
Gus punch to cope with Louis. Jim

outpunch them two or three to one.
The fact that Conn probably never

But he has to build up better punch

make him fit opponent for Louis.
On his side are his cleverness, his
absolute gameness and his street.

his almost angelic countenance, is
an old-time street fighter to whom
a brawl is hearts delight.
The picture tomorrow night then

gaging picture-unless Lesnevich,
with no regard whatever for art in

Moin Interest in Contest
Is Showing of Conn

He will be favored over Lesnevich,
although this doesn't figure to be an
easy fight for him. The New Jer-
sey Russian is fairly clever, has a
rugged build and is good puncher
Overlooked in this sector for long
time and compelled to roam in quest
of action, he went across this coun-
try and then out to Australia. He
has had about so fights and lost
few of them. Nobody thought much
of him until he knocked out Dave
Clark, a stable mate of Joe Louis.
Actually, main interest in the
fight centers on Conn and his show
ing. Plans for rushing him along
into a match with Louis have stalled,
fortunately, for the last time he
fought here, Billy gave no one any
reason to believe that he would last
very long against the heavyweight
king.
But he still is about the best of
the prospects with Lou Nova in
eclipse. His chief drawback is his
comparative frailness. Put Is or 20
pounds on him and give him an
other year of campaigning and he
might be the one they are looking
for to beat Louis or, at least, give
him a tussle for more than four or
five rounds.

Billy Conn May Build Up
Light Heavy Class
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

SpCSldl correspondent VI 1ut quail
NEW YORK, Nov. 16 (N.ANAD.-
Billy Conn puts the light heavy
weight title on the line for Gus Les
nevich at Madison Square Garden
tomorrow night. This title doesn't
mean anything at the time, although
it did once-and may again. Syn
thetic as it was in the beginning,
great fighters have held it or fought
for it and that, of course, is what
makes title worth while.
George Gardner-Jack Root
Bob Fitzsimmons - Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien-Georges Carpenter
Harry Greb-Gene Tunney-Mike
McTigue - Paul Berlenbach - Jack
Delaney-these and others over a
span of Is years or so made the
light heavyweight crown valuable
possession. Then the class declined
and dwindled off and the only
known light heavies at the moment
are Conn and Lesnevich.
Conn Is the claSSieSt fighter the
division has known since the pass
ing of Delaney and Berlenbach and
that crew. If he remains a light
heavyweight long enough, the divi-
sion may build up behind him. But
he is eager to be off among the
heavyweights and may not linger
long, although he hasn't picked up
weight as rapidly as he thought he
would.
