BrowneII's Parents
Split Over His Play
In j. !. Amateur
Mother Feors Bobby's
Weakened Leg Might
Hamper His Come

The family won't split apart on
the issue, but there's a schism with
in the j. N. Brownel golhng house
hold. A friendly sort of schism, to
be sure, but a schism. nevertheless.
1t all comes about because 81
year-old Bobby Brownell, the tall
youngster who plays from the
Manor Country Club, wants to play
in the national amateur champion
ship, and will try to qualify for it
next week at Chevy Chase. BOBBY
wants very much to play and Jim
Brownell-his dad-wants him to
play.
But Mrs. Brownell good golfer,
in her own right, doesn't think too
highly of the idea of Bobby playing
in the championship. Bobby, you
see, is recovering from broken leg.
The leg is strong enough for him to
play an occasional round of golf tin
which he does all right but it
hardly is strong enough to enable
the youngster to keep going at top
speed for the hard physical test the
amateur championship happens to
be.
IF Bobby can't do his best I don't
want him to play" says Mrs. Brown
ell. and he won't be at his best
when the leg isn't strong enough
to carry him for So holes
So it's all very much up in the air.
Bobby has given the leg a test and
has found that he can play Is holes
all right and play well. But along
toward the end I get pretty tired"
he says. II don't know whether I
can 60 SO holes next week or not. P"
Anyhow Bobby will be among the
lads to start in that qualifying round
at Chew Chase next Tuesday. But
if I don't qualify that leg won't be
any alibi," he says. I'll be in there
trying all the time"
The women are starting pretty
early to get their tournament sched-
ule arranged and ready for the
jumpof in September. Mrs. Frank
Kramer, chairman of the Tourna-
ment Committee of the Women's
District Golf Association, calls to
remind the feminine golfers that
entries for the Corby Cup tourney
slated September 6 at Columbia will
close September at l pm. Entries
will be taken by Mrs. w. B. Jarvis

The
SpoRTLIGH7
Front Runner Under
Heavy Pressure
By GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, Aug. % (NAN.A).-
The great bulk of all cheering IN
sport arises for those competitors
who come from behind. This is
supposed to be where true game
ness waits. Which Is an entirely
incorrect angle.
There are many times when the
front runner needs more gameness
than his pursuer. We were talking
over this angle in connection with
Sammy Snead, the Cincinnati Reds
and the Cleveland Indians.
Francis Ouimet brought up the
matter concerning Snead.
"One trouble Sammy Snead has
known Ouimet said, is taking the
lump in his first two rounds. He
may get four or five strokes ahead.
To many people that might seem to
be a killing advantage. But they
don't know the psychology Of golf.
"Once out in front you have the
feeling that you must protect this
lead. I know what the difference
is. know it is much easier to come
from behind, if you are not too far
back. than it is to protect a lead.
Out in front your big temptation is
to start steering away from bad
trouble, to take few chances-to
abandon boldness in your play-from
tee to cup. Yes, even with the puts.
Most Of U. S. Open Winners
Struggle from Behind
Il had to come from behind to
overtake Vardon and Ray" Francis
said. Il knew just what I had to
do I knew I could play nothing on
the safe side. But it would have
been entirely a different matter If I
had been leading, with Vardon and
Ray at my heels. You feel under
such conditions you can afford no
mistakes. You visualize only pars
and brides your chasers are making
hole after hole.
Just check back" Ouimet added,
ION how few have ever taken the
lead in the first or second rounds
and held it to win United States
open. Hagen did in 1914. when
Chick Evans almost caught him.
But most of the winners have come
from behind. The pace-SetterS
naturally have faded out. Evan as
great a golfer as Bobby Jones-the
greatest-barely was able to hold a
six-stroke lead at Winged Foot with
only six holes to 60 against Al
Espinosa.
Now Sammy Snead has had the
habit of taking the lead, of setting
the pace. Look over his record. He
was far ahead in the recent Cana
dian Open and then had to face a
playoff. He got the jump in the
Open at Philadelphia and again in
Cleveland. The pressure was more
than he could face. And good
many of us who have been to the
fairway wars know just how he felt.
We know what his mental, nerve and
psychological problems were. We
understood the beating he was TAX
ing.

Sneod Wins His First Big
Coin Event with 81 Finish

"Snead won his biggest money
tournament some months back by
coming from behind with "a down
the stretch. That was easier than
shooting a Y when in front.
You can burn yourself out, emo
tionally, in golf quicker than you
think in championship play When
you are behind there is only one
thing to do-go out for everything.
All out. Lay on Macduff. I'd like
to see Snead about two or three
strokes behind in his next Open. He
might burn up the course on the last
18 holes.
II don't know Of any smarter
golfer than Walter Hagen. Yet the
Haig always told me he wanted to be
about two shots back when the last
round started to put the pressure on
the front runner. He was five shots
back of Mike Brady when Walter
won his last United States Open at
Brae Burn in 1919-fiVe shots back
with only 10 holes left. There are
no ice-water nerves that can face
this burden of pace setting in golf
without feeling the strain"
put this argument up to an old
ball player in connection with the
two big league races.
= Absolutely true he said, for
golf or baseball. What affects an
Individual affects an entire squad
The Reds had nine-game lead
over the Dodgers-practically run
ming away. But they were still the
pace settlers. Then the HerSch-
berger tragedy broke and they be-
gan to slip, and then to crack. The
Dodgers had their target to shoot
at. That makes difference. A big
difference. The team in front car
ries the heaviest package, as any
competitor knows. The Yankees
they were different those four years.
They were Bobby Jones or Walter
Hagen playing 1O-handicap chal-
lenger. They outclassed everybody

Reds Might Have GoIloped
In but for Suicide

To-day there are no clubs that
outclass the others. The Reds might
have gallopeds in if the suicide
crusher hadn't hit them. But in
the Dodgers they have a game,
hustling, hard fighting outfit to
beat back. And the Dodgers have
been able to watch the skidding
Reds and to dig in even deeper for
this reason.
THE same is true of the Indians
and Tigers" he said. There is no
great difference in present playing
strength among the five leading
clubs-Indians, Tigers, Red Sox
White Sox and Yankees. They are
all well matched. But the Indians
and the Tigers have had to carry
the pressure of pacemaking, just as
the Reds have.
They talk about backing into a
pennant. Well, I'm also an old
time golf bug and I remember how
many champions backed into first
place. In fact, most of them did
They'll tell you these golf champion
ships are lost, not won.
Outside of the Yankees for four
years, that also has been true OF
many pennant races. Remember

Objects To Uniform
The ffteen-year-old son of one of my
friends had a very unhappy experience
at the Congress. He had come up from
preparatory school in Virginia to
represent his school at the assembly.
His mother is deeply interested III
young people and thought it would be
an interesting and educational expert
ence for her boy to meet young people
from all over the United States. He
came to the Congress wearing the uni
form of his school, not an ROTC uni
form, but a preparatory school UNI
form. He was not allowed to register
or represent his school because he was
wearing a uniform. He was told he
could attend the sessions on Saturday.
However, when he came to the meet
ing he was not permitted to march
with the group to the White House
instead he was booed and Kissed and
showered with pacifist literature.
He later told his mother, Mother,
don't like this bunch; l want to go back
to school," This was one of many eX-
amples of the intolerance of the group
which claims to stand for tolerance. |
asked some of them why they are so
opposed to any increase in our army

approve and applaud Russia's huge
army. Their answer was Russia needs
big army because the Soviet Govern
ment is so young. Russian needs big
army to protect it from the capitalistic
nations, but when Russia has over
thrown the capitalistic nations it will
not need nor will it keep such big
army"
Show Grapes OF Wrath"
On Saturday night Grapes Of

that it was not the wisest choice. The
crowd was so great the film had to be
shown twice. After the first showing
talked to several who had seen it and
asked them what they thought of it.
