ox Hougton Worsham Denbauh for National A. Tourney
Perfecting Own Golf Instead
of Aping Others Lands
Peacock Back in Focus

To a lot Of people not in the
know, that romp through the Mid
die Atlantic championship by Roger
Peacock, who hadn't played any
competitive golf for nearly two
years, was quite a surprise. Be-
hind it is the story Of an ambi-
ton and willingness to work at a
game, and a. idea.
For years Roger has had a fine
golf game; one Of the best. He has
been fairly close since 1894 to be-
ing at the very crest of the anna
teurs of the land. Long from the
tee, consistently good with the irons,
and better-than-fair putter, Pea
cock in 1885 came very close to 90
ing to the final round In the anna
teur championship.
It's doubtful if he could have
won, for that was Lawson Little's
year, and probably no amateur in
the world could have whipped Lar
ripping Lawson then. Yet Roger
wasn't far from being a finalst.
Only series of ridiculous puts
from the red-hot blade of Eddie
Held kept him back. Roger then
was and now is a better golfer than
Eddie, in our book, but those things
happen.
After 1896, when Bobby Brownell
beat him in the District champion
ship final, Roger didn't play much
golf. And when he did play he
was Indifferent about it. He wanted
to turn pro last year and had bids
in for the jobs at Congressional and
Kenwood. And he didn't play any
competitive golf in 1888 and very
little in 1887.
His last competitive appearance
was in the District championship
of 1887, where he won the medal
and lost in the first round. He tust
about dropped out of tournament
play.
But this year, with the Mid-At-
lantic coming to Chevy Chase, Roger
went to work. That was the one big
tournament in this area he hadn't
won. His best had been runnerup
in 1884. So he set out at Indian
Spring more than a month ago to
get his game in gear.
Long hours he worked out there
behind the golf shop, growing his
swing and getting those iron shots
so they would hit a handkerchief
at ITS yards. Few people knew
about it, and Roger didn't play much
golf. But he was ready, and with
an idea.
For years Roger, like most good
golfers, has been man to copy the
swing or some knack of the top men
Of the game. A little extra pivot

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 20.-Earl
Bartlett of New Orleans, whose
masterful stroking brought him the
mems crown in the Cotton States
meet at Birmingham, was seeded
first and delegated to the rank of
favorite in the Southern Junior
Tennis Tournament opening today.
Pushing him for top consideration
was Melvin Schwartzman of New
York City, seeded No. 2. Schwartz
man, although untested in Southern
tennis circles, has class A ranking
from the East. where he defeated
Frank K. Shields, veteran Califor-
nian, in last summers clay court
tournament.
Other seedlings in order were
Leonard Floyd Of Memphis, Charles
Rice Of Atlanta, Billy Needham OF
Memphis, Bud Hart of Miami,
Cortes Suttles Of College Park, Ga,
and Louis Schopfer of New Orleans.
Dick Mckee of Miami, last years
champion, and Dan Canale, top
flight Memphian, both were barred
from the tournament this year be-
cause of age limitations.
In the boys section Gary Alber-

Smaller Cup, Thicker

Jackson, Pro Here, Also
Would Ban Send Wedoe
To End Low Scoring

Golf is getting too easy for the
experts, but it still remains too hard
for the buffers.
So Peter Jackson, one of the bet
ter teachers of the game around
town and former pro at Indian
Spring, would bring about several
changes to make scoring little
tougher for the experts and at the
same time keep it as 1t is for the
l00-shooter.
These top men like Snead and
Guldahl make the game too easy"
says Peter. one of the few golf pros
to come out of Ireland.
They putt too well and play so
we'll it makes par ridiculous.
Il would like to see some of the
premium taken from accurate put
ting by cutting the size of the cup
to around 81 or 81 inches. Then
I would like to see the sand wedge
taken out of the bags of all the
tournament players. And I'd like to
see them let the rough grow up
thick at all courses on which cham
pionships are played.
Ought to Bring Par Back.
"Those things, I think, would
bring par and par golf back to its
original standard of excellence.
They have the finest equipment
that ever has been made. In addi-
ton they have q ball loaded with
dynamite, which can be hit far past
the ball Of IS years ago. Can you

son with the high-powered ball of
today?
Iron clubs and steel shafts are
far more powerful than the hickory
shafted implements of other years,
the rough is thin and sparse and
everything tends toward low scoring.
No wonder these top boys Of today
are laughing at par. Why shouldn't
they?
Back around 1910 you were lucky
when If you got in the rough at
some golf courses you found your
ball. And you didn't take a spoon
out OF that knee-high rough. You
TOOK a niblick and played to get it

NOW take a cup measuring 81
