One hundred fOrty-two to win the
Maryland Open golf championship.
As more than IS Of the top pro
and amateur golfers from the Old
Line State and from Washington
and nearby Virginia started play at
the Columbia Country Club today
in the goth annual competition for
the open championship Of the State,
grizzled Fred Mcleod, veteran CO.
lumbia club pro, predicts a pair Of
Ills will be good enough to grab all
the marbles and top money Of $120.
Others notably Witty Cox
thought it would be lower. Witty
thought the winning mark will be
139. "And it may be a stroke
higher" said Cox. But Mcleod,
with his thorough knowledge of the
course and its length and trouble.
thinks 142, or a brace Of Ills, will
bring home the bacon for the man
good enough and lucky enough to
make that score.
On the face of it McLeod's predic-
ton sounds like the Mccoy. For
last October, over the same course.
Clif1 Spencer, equipped with a red
hot putter and a lot of good golf
shots, scored 283 to win the Middle
Atlantic p. G. A. championship.
That is trif1e better than an aver
age of II to the single round.
More Than IS Starters.
Post entries brought the total list
above IS before the first pair teed
of today. The field included about
40 pros and nearly 40 amateurs. II
an amateur gets anywhere in the
tourney he will get a merchandise
prize. Pro money Is split this way:
First. $l20; second, 500; third, $50;
fourth, $50.
But it isn't likely in such a good
field that an amateur will win the
title. although Otto Greiner, the tall
Baltimore youngster who won the
Mid-Atlantic junior over the Colum-
bia course couple of weeks ago, is
quite capable of shooting a pair of
70s. Greiner scored 50 and 73 in
winning the Mid-Atlantic for the
identical total of 142 which Mcleod
thinks will win today's affair.

around pitcher in baseball than
Paul Derringer, the 33-year- -old
entry from Springfield, KY. Der
ringer has his full share of pitch
ing wares. He also Is smart and
game and he has fine control.
You can say the same thing about
Buck Newsom and Bucky Walters.
A year ago Walters and Derringar

Of the great combination perform
ances of all time. They won't be
far from a total of so victories in
the present campaign, which should
give them the best two-year total
baseball ever has known.
1t must be remembered that Bob
Feller, the Cleveland Cyclone, is
only 81 years old.
On SO. occasions out of 100 a 81
year-old pitcher either is on his way
to the big show, or he is a struggling
rookie. But here is Feller a seasoned
veteran at this age, backed up by
the stoutest arm in the game.

You might recall the fact that
Lefty Grove won only 10 and then
Is games in his first two years with
the Athletics-and that Lefty was
~ before he first reached the 20
mark. That was 13 years ago.
Feller has been the greatest young
pitcher baseball ever saw. He still
can use better control and a bit
more f1nesse. Walters is 80. Newsom
80 and Derringer 80. They still
have healthy trek on ahead. as
Fitzsimmons and Grove have proved

takes the lead with three high
grade entries who can go the route

won't be far away and you can
add Freddy Fitzsimmons of the
Dodgers to at least a part of the
cast. maybe not in games won but
In the percentage and earned-run
columns. AL Smith, Al Milnar and
others still will be around. but the
four leaders mentioned now have
the call.
Too much cheering has been
heard in past years for the home
run platoon. They furnish their
full share of thrills. But it still is
pitching that tells most of the story.
You remember how much we once
heard about Connie Mack's 100000
infield-McInnis, Collins, Barry and
Baker? What about Coombs. Plank
and Bender-three of the best that
ever carried any ball club along?
In his years of baseball great
ness Connie Mack had Waddel,
Coombs. Plank. Bender, Coakley,
Pennock. Grove, Earnshaw-look
over that outfit.
AS have said. the four top
pitchers this season in my limited
lexicon are Feller, Newsom, Der
ringer and Walters, although New
SONS injury will be no help. They
keep on working-and they keep
on winning. They absorb their
bumps here and there-but who
doesn't?
OF the four I'd say that Bob
Feller has the greatest amount of
natural stuff. But he still lacks
the finesse of a Derringer or New
som.
