Championship Tourney
Opens at Beaver Dam
With Large Field

Golf activity around Washington
this week centers almost altogether
in the 72-hole medal-play toufna-
ment at Beaver Dam for the inter-
national printcrafts title. With a
large field entered, it opens today.
But the pros and some of the
District amateurs will have one lit
tie affair on their schedule. It's an
amateur-pro and sweepstakes event
listed Wednesday at Five Farms, the
usual routine event in which the
pros pick as many as three part
ners and play in sweepstakes.
Next scheduled tourney of the Mid
Atlantic pros is a pro-amateur,
slated August IL at Rolling Road.
Baltimore Has Empty Year.
The Baltimore Suburban Club,
which last year held an invitation
event, will not stage one this year.
That leaves Baltimore out in the
cold where such golf gatherings are
concerned this year. The Balti-

usual spring invitation tourney, and
now the Suburban Club has an
nounced, through President Nathan
kaufman, that its tournament Is OF.

teurs have had in tournaments has
been in small Maryland State asso-
citation events or in tournaments IN
Washington, with the single excep-
ton of the Middle Atlantic cham
pionship, played at Hillendale IN
June and won by Otto Greiner.
The Suburban affair has been a
very popular tourney. 1t drew more
than 200 entries last year.
Tournaments Become Scarcer.
Mems tournaments around the
Capital are going to be scarcer from
now on. The big one, of course, is
the District amateur, scheduled for
Manor late in September. The local
golf fathers plan to make this a
big one, with SIS entry fee, which
will entitle the entrant to play and
to attend a dinner during the tour
ney. 1t will be the first time they've
tried anything like the hilarious
frolics of the old invitation tourney
days. But that's the way they voted
at the annual meeting of the Dis
trict Golf Association last winter.

Great Sport Thrills Go

The long, broken-field run of a

THE competitor is outnumbered
10000 to l. Maybe more than that.
He gives the show, but the specta-

Endorsement of the plan to send
his Ryder Cup professionals against
the 10 best amateurs in the land
but he insisted that the amateur
team named for this suggested char
ity match be named by the United
States Golf Association.
Il think the idea of a Ryder Cup-
amateur battle is great one.'
said Hagen, perennial captain of the
Ryder Cup forces.
In view of the cancellation of
the international Ryder Cup
matches and the Walker Cup
matches-which were to have been
played this month"; think a pro-
fessional-amateur duel would dc
much toward keeping alive the idea
of international competition. But
the amateur team, to give it real
authority, should be named by the
U. S. G. A. and not simply be the
selection of any amateur star or
other individuals"
Pros Chose Ryder Cup Team.
The U. S. G. A. declined to name
a Walker Cup team for this year
because the international matches
were Cancelled. The Professional
Golfers Association, however, named
its Ryder Cup aggregation, which
already has appeared in charity
matches at Hollywood, Calf; Dali
las, Tex, and Detroit.
If proper arrangements can be
made, we'll be glad to work on the
details" Hagen said. Fired Cor
coran, tournament bureau manager
for the P. G. A., could go ahead and
work out plans for the match"
Corcoran, remarking that "any-
thing the professionals can do to
stimulate interest in golf-and at
the same time help the Red Gross
will have the full backing of the P.
G. A" said that he expected little
trouble would be encountered OBJ
tanning site. The P. G. A., he
said, already has had bids from
Boston, San Francisco and New York
for the appearance of the Ryder
Cup squad.
Ward Would Head Squad.
Marvin (Bud Ward, the present
national amateur champion, is
known to keenly favor the idea of
the amateur-Ryder Cup battle. He'd
be certain to head the squad, which
likely would include such other
simon-pures as Ray Billows, run
nerup to Ward at North Shore last
year; Johnny Goodman, former ma
tional amateur and open title
holder; Johnny Fischer and Willie
Turnesa, both former national anna
teur rulers, and Charley Yates, the
former British amateur titiist.
Foursomes would be played the
first day, with singles matches the
second, Hagen said. He'd pick his
eight-man team from this Ryder
Cup squad-Sam Snead, Ralph
Guldahl, Jimmy Hines, Byron Mel
son, Horton Smith, Paul Runyan,
Harold (Jug) McSpaden, Vic Ghezzi,
Dick Metz and Henry Picard, the
present P. G. A. champion.

Didn't Upset Owens.

To the supporting Americans it

Owens happened to use neither

Man to man. as equipped by ma
ture, the Germans were completely

came their sprinters and jumpers
curled up after the manner of a

But it wasn't Owens who drew
the major thrill. 1t was the small
crowd of Americans in the stands.
There is a reason for all this.
The competitor is in the midst Of
the swirl. More often than you
know he can't tell what is happen

AS an old-time, half-naked foot
