Lincoln, 1888 Champ
Carried OFF Honors
With 90 Score
Top Fovorites Remain
As Mild Upsets Mark
Womon's Tourney
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Maybe they aren't the worst
golfers in the world. 1t may be
that if you carefully searched the
country clubs around Washington,
taking the century shooters as they
come along, you could find some men
who might At into that hilarious
crew who are gathered at the Burn
ing Tree Club today for Robert v.
Fleming's annual golf party for the
Gridiron Club. But it would be
hard to do Newspapermen, right
down the line, don't have much
time for golf. They are too busy
finding out the things you read
about, or if they happen to be of
that breed, giving high-brow opin-
ions on this or that in politics or
international affairs. But the point
is they aren't so hot as golfers.
Every year Bob Fleming tosses a
golf party for them at Burning
Tree. The press galleries around
town won't be altogether deserted,
but lot of familiar faces will be
missing. The Fleming party is
looked upon as one of the years
best. Holly Stover, genial and big
hearted, arranges the the golf for
the boys, and does his usual swell
job. But the tipoff is that last
year Gould Lincoln, chief political
writer for The Star, won the gross
prize with a score around 90. From
that point the scores ranged away
up there. You may get the idea
that it's all in fun. You're right.
That's right
Stanley Collins, one of Fred Nc
Leod's golf shop aides at Columbia,
is right in the groove nowadays.
Scores away down in the low 7Os
have been bouncing off the clubs
of the lad they call set" with
regularity. But he reached a new
low yesterday, even with a 6 on the
para eleventh hole. Out in 38 he
scored a fiat 10, to the great Joy of
Walter Skinker-his partner.
Women Playing Second Round.
Still another day of mild upsets
faced the feminine golfers of the
town today as the survivors in the
District women's championship
played second-round matches at
Columbia Here is the way they
faced each other in the champion
ship flight: Marion Brown CManor)

A couple of surprises sprinkled
the first round yesterday, as Mrs.
Charlotte S. Stern, second in the
medal round. fell before Mrs. Emge,
and Mrs. Bishop P. Hill, the Chevy
Chase Club champ, bowed be-
fore Mrs. Simons. And possibly the
defeat of Louise Claytor by Mrs.

you notice that Marion Brown

veteran Betty Meckley moved
smoothly through to an easy first
round win? Who do you guess for
the final Friday? Marion and Mrs.
Walper wouldn't be a bad guess.
But guessing on golf matches is bad
business. Too much can happen
between the first tee and the hand
shaking act.
Runyan Picked to Win p. G. A.
1t begins to look as if the Pro-
fessional Golfers Association is get
ting ready to hand Paul Runyan the
1899 championship on silver
platter. Paul, if you remember,
won the crown last year at Shaw
nee, a fairly short course, making
Sam Snead look like a selling platter
with the accuracy of his second
shots, even though he had to play
'em with a spoon against Sans
Akron. Sam was level par for 20
holes of the moderately short
Shawnee course and was licked by
8 and 7. Paul was deadly with the
second shots.
Now they're going to play the 1899
P. C. A. at Pomonok, near Flushing,
Long Island. only a stones throw
from the New York Worlds Fair.
The Pomonok course measures g.
345 yards in length, which makes 1t
shorter than the Washington Golf
and Country Club layout, not long
course by any yardstick.
Drive and Pitch Course.
Pomonok is featured by flock
Of drive-and- pitch holes, some good
one-shotters and few of those back
breaking big two-shotters such as
they had at the recent open cham
pionship at Philadelphia. And drive
and-pitch holes and accuracy with
the irons and on the putting green
are strictly Paul Runyan's dish.
From where we sit they can get
the big mug ready for Little
Poison" again. Paul has won two
P. G. A. championships, both on
courses on the short side. He won
at Buffalo's Park Club in 1884 and
at Shawnee last year. Shawnee is
no drive-and-pitch course. but it
happened to be very fast at the time
of the title tourney, and Paul was
so deadly with the second shots no
one could touch him.
The local pros. including George
Diftenbaugh, who was enormously
reported by one of his fellow pros
as out of this years tourney, will
qualify tomorrow at Indian Spring
for the P G. A. tournament. They'll
play So holes over a fast course
and the preliminary dope is it will
take 142 to get one of the three
places awarded to this sector. Even
with Witty Cox, AL Houghton and
Lewis Worsham out of the tourney.

Sneod Seeks Redemption
In British Open Tourney
By JOHN LARDNER,
,naciai cnrresnondent of The Star

NEW YORK, June 81 NANA0.
Sailing to play in the British open
golf championship tournament,
Samuel Snead, the slugging West
Virginian, has chance to save him.
self from professional damnatlon
and despair in this life.
If Sam can cop the British open
he will redeem a future which
turned to ashes, in the opinion OF a
great many witnesses, on the 18th
hole at the Philadelphia Country
Club 10 days ago.
II doubt if he'll ever get over it."
said Ralph Guldahl. when Sam took
an where par would have given
him the American open title. "A
thing like that is worse than blow
on the chin from Joe Louis. 1t can
wreck your life"
Sneads face was gray and his eyes
we're glazed when he canned his last
wretched putt on the 18th green and
lurched away to the clubhouse. In
the golfing set, they feel that Sam
uel is not built to Withstand many
punches like that He takes them
too full. They turn his insides over,
in an almost physical sense, and
leave him chronically ailing.

Sorozen Admits Cotton
Has Money Disposition.

sIoS N'VHSy HiSPoSiiOU.
Hes good. all right" admits
sarazen. Hes ice-cold, got great
money disposition. And, when he
finishes on top, he never lets you
forget it. He's just as likely as not
to come around afterwards, when he
has the time to spare, and tell you
what's wrong with your game. He
don't charge for that but you never
feel like thanking him
Cotton kindled some brand-new
American resentment not long ago
when he planted knife deity
among the ribs of H. Ellsworth
Vines, the reformed tennis player,
now an amateur golfer of great
promise.
Vines, fresh off the tennis courts
and playing in his first important
golf tournament, the British anna
teur, made fine showing, reaching
the fourth round of this notoriously
wild and tough affair. He had
swing which pleased the fans
smooth, easy, graceful, timed to give
him maximum of distance with a
minimum of effort. :
Going home from the party, the
experts agreed that Ellsworth had
something there and would be a
golfer to reckon with when he got
some tournament experimental
but Cotton, who allowed that the
young man smelled, for his money
''His game is no good and never
will be" said the noted Yankee
batter. There is this wrong with
1t, and also this, and also some Of
this I would give him lessons, but
! am afraid the case is hopeless"
To which the American pros, not
especially interested in Vines, but
anxious to see a young golfer with
promise get along. replied with
muf1ed snarls. They think Henry
was talking at them and at this
country, not at Vines, when he de-
livered the minority report.
If swinging Samuel Snead can
pluck this sharp, stinging thorn from
the flank of American golf, he will
not only redeem his own career, but
build himself a strong roofing Sec
ton among his deadliest rivals at
home.

Sorozen Feors Effect
On Sneod's Future.

He may blow every chance for the
rest of his life" says Gene Sarazen,
Sneads unofficial patron. Il hope
not. Sam is one of the greatest
golfers we've ever had. But it's a
fact that he's a keyedup guy who
takes the big lickings very hard.
There's one good bet, though, to
straighten him out, and that's the
British open. The man who goes
over there and beats this Henry
Cotton in his own back yard will
have a major win to his credit and
a talking point to sell himself the
next time he needs confidence.
There's many golfer in this country
who would give his shirt to lick
Cotton
That's fact. Henry Cotton is an
Englishman with the arrogance OF
Dizzy Dean in his best years and
none of Dizzy's saving cheerfulness
and sense of comedy. A sweet,
wholesome fellow, by all accounts
He says things which you are sup
posed to smile when you say, but
Cotton doesn't smile. -
At any rate, the American golf
pros hate him, and the feeling is
extremely mutual Billed as the
greatest golfer in the world, Cotton
has demanded exorbitant guaran-
tees to show himself over here and
do what he frequently announces he
can do, namely, beat the best Amer
lean players on the best days they
ever saw.
The Americans, particularly Gull
dahl (no shrinking, dew-soaked vio-
let himsel), maintain that Cotton
asks for the mint for an American
tour because he does not wish to
come over here and take his chances.
It's sad truth, on the other hand,
that, whenever the Americans 60 to
