July has been designated P. G. A.

summer, but the pros are not over
looking the matter of picking up
spare change in tournaments dur
Ing the hot months.
-Four big ones carrying total
OF $26,5OO in prize money will be
played during late July, August and
September. First on the list is the
Chicago $4,000 Open, slated for
July 18, 10 and 20.
Next will come the st. Paul Open

summer season will end with the
Anthracite Open at Scranton, Pa.
September 68, for IS 900.
In addition to these affairs the
usual Glens Falls Open probably
will be held in September, for about
$4,000, although that one has not
been announced.
Jimmy Demaret, according to the
P. G. A., rates at the top of the
money winners so far this year,
with total winnings of $8,477. That
would be good for a gent who didn't
go in for red coats and green hats.
For one who does, as Jimmy does,
it's colossal.
Benny Hogan, who is one of jim
my's stablemates (they are en-
ployed by the same concern) is out
in front in the race for the Harry

ner of this gets check for a grand

By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 13.-Robert
Tyre Gust call him Bobby Jones,
jr., spans a 23-year period today
to come back to golf in the name
of sweet charity.
He pairs with Jimmy Thomson,
the tee-shot slugger. against Horton
Smith and the veteran Charley
Mayo, ST., in an 18-hole best-ball
match at Lido Country Club for
the Red Cross fund for European
relief. This is the second of four
such exhibitions he is playing to
raise funds for the Red Cross.
Before stepping up to the tee to-
day, Bob recalled he had played SIM
liar exhibitions for more than a
year and half for just such a pur-
pose back in l917-18.
Made $3.50, 900 in l917-1s.
Golf exhibitions weren't nearly
so numerous in those days." he said.
"As a result, we figured up that our
matches over that period netted
about $l50,000 for the Red Cross. I
hope we can do as well this time
Still the pleasant Georgian who
took over the golfing world decade
ago, Bobby trotted out his clubs for
photographers and showed new
woolen shirts" over the heads of
his woods.
Mamma knitted them,' he ex-
planned. They're better than the
old leather ones, because those
would get wet in rain and when you
pulled them off your clubs they'd
take some of the finish with them"
Plays in Boston Tomorrow.
Bobby played the first match of
his current exhibition series at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, the day after. the
National Open at Canterbury last
month.
After today's doings, he'll fly to
Boston for No. in the current
series tomorrow. Francis Ouimet,
Jesse Guilford and Fred Wright
will play with him there.
The fourth exhibition will be at
Philadelphia in September, Bobby
said, with Big Ed Dudley as party
of the second part.

Girl Now Is Bidding
For D. c. LuureIs

A couple of years ago q Detroit
swimming instructor wagged his
head gravely, told Patsy Palmer she
never would be a good swimmer and
advised her to try some other line of
athletic endeavor.
But that was two years ago. Mon
day night when the leading stars of
the South Atlantic sector congregate
at Airport pool for the first local
"A. A. U. meet of the season, Patsy is
expected to be in the forefront Of
the women's division. Win, lose or
draw she'll be the sparkplug of a

IDENTIFY expects to cop team honors in
its division.
Scores Heavily Here.
Equally responsible for exploding
the Detroit coach's prophecy are
petite Patsy's aggressiveness and de-
termination and the expert tutoring
of Dudley Gordon, Shoreham coach.
1t was he who detected a faint
gleam of promise in the youngster
after watching her-no bigger than
an overstuffed tadpole-splashing
around the pool. He urged her to
try for the team, and the rest of the
story is written in District A. A. U.
records.
Patsy not only developed into an
outstanding mermaid, but a spring.
board artist as well. She dives on
the side-which side we couldn't
say-but Gordon says she'll be heard
from in this department, too, before
long. Little Miss Palmer won the
lions share OF womens' honors in
the indoor championship meet last
March, capturing the so, 100 and
220 yard free style titles in addition
to 150-yard medley crown.
Outdoors the 15-year-old miss

yard medley titles. Monday she'll

medley races, but she isn't quite
certain how She II fare.

Dot Evans and Lorraine Fischer.
two of the best known woman swim
mers in the country, also are entered.
Naturally, they'll dominate the show,
but Patsy is expected to make it
interesting for them in the open
events.
Il expect her to win three A. A. U.
events for girls under IT," Gordon
said today. And I think she'll give
the national stars all the competi-
ton they want in open events. Keep
your eye on her in the medley.
That's her specialty-the one she
hopes to cash in on this summer
and I think she'll surprise one or
two people"
Patsys training has been retarded
somewhat because of strained back
incurred in diving practice a few
weeks ago, but reports from the
Shoreham are that she's fully re-
covered and will be ready for her
best when the warning whistle blows
Monday.

Latest on the list of links achieve
ments around town, in a summer
during which very few extremely
low scores have been registered, is
a course record. tying mark of 66,
made at the Washington Golf and
Country Club course by a tall gent
named Turner Smith, jr. Smith
used to be, as a Junior, member of
the Washinbton club. But he left
that club some years ago and joined
Belle Haven, where he won the club
title. Now he is back at Washing
ton, and will, if his golf of now
adays keeps on, be a headache to
the lads around the Virginia club.
Turner played the mines in 33 each
way, tying the mark of 66 that first
was set in September, 1927, by Maui
rice j. Mccarthy and since twice
had been tied before Turner scored
his 66. On September 30, 1892, Dave
Thomson, the club pro. scored a sc,
and in December, 1888, under win
ter rules, AL Houghton scored a 66
That last one didn't cause any great
furor because the following April
Houghton, still using winter rules,
played the Washington course in 81
strokes - an almost unbelievable
score, which happened to be nine
under par.
Course Is Tricky.
Washington is course on the
short side. Stretched out to its
maximum length it measures not
more than $500 yards. And it does
not have watered fairways. Which
makes it all the more remarkable
that some par-busting fellow with
keen putter hasn't yet been able
to do better than 66. Yet that score
stands as the course record. The
official competitive record is So,
made by James R. Gipe in the spring
of 1888 in the qualifying round
of the invitation tourney of that
year.
Columbia, Chevy Chase and Con-
gressional, all longer courses, have
been played in lower figures than
has Washington. The answer, of
course, lies in the fact that there
is more real trouble for an off-the-
line shot at Washington than at
any course around town.
The greens aren't small but they
are tight. And the course takes
considerable local knowledge.
Here is the way Smith scored the
latest 66 at Washington:
