Entry DeadIine Near
For National Open
Golf Tourney
Most Washington Pros
Will Take Fling in
Qualifying Test

Pro golfers and those amateurs
who will be playing the stooge for
the paid boys by entering the tour
ney have but little time left before
the closing of entries in the national
open golf championship. The dead
line falls at pm. May 8. Entries,
accompanied by the IS fee, must
be in the hands of the United States
Golf Association, 73 East Fifty-sev-
enth street, New York, by that time.
And when the U. S. G.. A. sets q
deadline it means it. Several pros
have been left out Of open cham
pionships because they thought they
could ignore the deadline.
Quota Here Uncertain.
With the championship proper to
be played at Philadelphia the Sec
tional rounds slated at Congress
sional on May % may find six or
seven places open, If the usual
ratio of one qualifler to each four
entries is maintained. No one in
this area knows how many entries
have been sent to the U. S. G. A.,
but In all probability the starting
field may run as high as 40, in
which case we might get 8 or 10
places. The U. S. G.. A. always con-
siders the strength of the section
and its proximity to the scene Of
the championship, in addition to
the usual ratio system, in awarding
places in the sectional rounds.
Most OF the local pros have en-
tered the tourney, check-up shows.
But there are few amateurs who
want fling at the chance Of quail
flying for COLTS top show. Amateurs
with handicaps of 3 strokes or less
may enter the tourney.
Aces Must Qualify.
One of the unusual angles Of this
years tournament is that Sam Snead
and Jimmy Thomson, two of Amer
ica's top pros, and the two longest
hitters of a golf ball in the land,
must qualify. They failed to get
in the first 30 in the championship
at Denver last year and so must
qualify along with a flock OF guys
named Joe. Usually men of this
caliber don't have to go through
the nerve-racking business of quail
flying where one bad hole can toss
you out of the championship. Both
will essay their qualifying rounds at
Philadelphia's Overlook Club and
will slip down to Washington for
a match at Congressional on May 81.
- ~,
sectional rounds will be John P.
Burke of Georgetown University,
the national intercollegiate champ.

A city bowling title loomed today

Metz, Courageous
Comeback, Leads
Touring Pros
Believed Through From
Auto Hurts in 1886,
He Wins $5,586
By theiAssoci ated Press.

By heiAssociated Press.
CHICAGO, May 2.-Handsome
Dick Metz has brought home the
bacon-$5, ,586 of it-and one of the
grandest, most courageous come
back stories in the history of golf.
Three years ago the good looking
Millroad Farm Club professional was
in a hospital, an automobile accident
In Florida presumably having
spelled finish forever to his fair
ways career. Yet this winter season
he was top money winner, capturing
three rich events, and right now is
a probable choice for the Ryder Cup
squad which will oppose Great Brit
aims professional stars.
In Hospital Six Months.
Through that three-year span is
woven the story of game guy
one who refused to be beaten.
After the automobile accident,
which happened March IT, 1886,
Metz spent almost six months in
three hospitals. Three ribs were
fractured, the muscles in his back
and shoulders badly torn and his
right ankle was mangled so badly
surgeons feared for a time they
would have to amputate.
Late that year he was on his feet
again, but few thought he ever
would be able to approach his old
form. But constant practice gradu-
ally gave him straightforward he
says some days it was torture just
to lift the club above my right
shoulder"
Second in National Open.
Last summer he made his frs.
serious bid for a return to golfing
greatness-in the national open
Only a bad closing round stopped
him from winning and he finished
second to Ralph Guldahl. After that
he simply worked harder than
overland this winter he started
clicking. He won the San Francisco
match-play title, the Oakland open
and the Land of the Sky open at
Asheville, N. c., in addition to plac-
ing second in the New Orleans open.
He also had a third and two fifth
places in other events.
He'll compete in all the major
tournaments this summer and it
seems as though only a complete
reversal of form will keep him from
being on the Ryder squad in the
international matches next Novem-
ber in Florida.

Marlboro Hotel team, runnerup In

the flag winning Cuff & Santini
team, which also rides the crest in
the Washington City Duckpin Asso-
citation championships with an all

for the Glass A title in the 29th an
nual tournament at Columbia to-
night.
The occasion looms as momen-
tous one, since Perce Wolfe, crack
member of the MarlbOroS, after
staging the most brilliant exhibition
of rolling in the current classic last
night with a AL, that gained him
the lead in Glass A singles. will be
shooting for the all-events title.
Deuce on Spare Stops Mark.
Chalking up 81 spares without a
strike, Wolfe came to the final frame
of his last game needing IA pins to
top the all-time Glass A singles
mark of 442 rolled by Ed Blakeney
at the Lucky Strike in 1887. He
missed out after cutting deuce
through the side on spare.
His games of las, 135 and 161 were
climaxed with nine marks in his
last string. He left only two pins
standing in the 80 frames, and be-
sides his last-frame tWo-pin count
only in the fourth and ninth frames
of the first and second games, re-
spectively, did he count less than
three pins.
A last-frame deuce count also
marred what might have been a
second-place doubles score for Joe
Di Misa and Bob Miciotto. With
746 the Georgetown duo took over
third.
Andy H. Tucker of the Lutheran
League also proved himself one of
the stars of the evening, with a
Ali set, believed to be an all-time
record for Glass C singles. The
Luther Place No. l team shooter
was brilliant with strings of 1872,
IA and 135. Wally Powell of the
Masonic League hit for 800 to take
second place in Glass B singles.
Another Lutheran League roller
to shine was the veteran Harry H.
HoWland, who moved to fourth place

Irvine Billhimer and Chet Lilley,
two suburban aces, hold fourth place
in Glass A doubles by virtue of a

man team of George Miller and
Frank Gartside placed high in Glass
c. doubles with 698. Ed Browning
and Harry Wolfe of the Prince
Georges County League moved to
sixth place in Class B doubles with
699, while Andy Devlin and Buddy
Seal of Arcadia are seventh with
697. F. Miller and M. Rose of the
Navy Yard League turned in some
nifty rolling with 686 to take second
place in Glass E.
Led by that up-and-coming
youngster. Ernie Hauser, Queen Pin
Of the Northeast Temple Major
League forged to the front in Glass
B teams with 1,784. Hauser hit for
4O8. R. E. A. Cleaners of the Prince
