u. S. Amateur Finale

WINGED FOOT GOLF CLUB,
MAMARONECK, N Y, Sept. IA
tNAN.AD.-As the final round OF
another United States amateur golf
championship comes along, old
timers at Winged Foot were talking
of the best finals of past years.
There haven't been so many that
we're exciting. In the majority of
the cases the winner took charge
of the match early in the day and
increased his lead to the finish.
One of the two golfers usually
buckles up after hard weeks play
and falls well back. 1t may be diff
ferent at Winged Foot this time,
but If so it will be big change.
The last extra-hole final I recall
was the meeting between Jess
Sweetser and Max Marston in 1928
at FloSsmoor, Chicago. That match
went 38 holes before Marston won.
I recall that the keennesS of the
gallery reached such pitch that
SweetSer was knocked down as he
moved up TO play his second shot
on the second extra hole.
There was another warm finish
when George Won Elm beat Bobby
Jones at BaltuSrol around 1926 in
a battle that ended on the thirty
fifth green. Ray Billows also put up
a great stretch run at Portland.
But most of these final matches
have been somewhat one-sided. 1t
would be interesting to have an
other final round carried at least
to the final green.

Frisch Of Bucs Hailed
As Champ 1910 Pilot
BY JOHN LARDNER.


NEW YORK, Sept. IA (N.A.NA).
1T may be that Francis F. Frisch.
the stocky, gray, needle -tongued
little bundle of baseball who leads
the Pittsburgh Pirates. is the cham
pion manager of 1910. In some ways,
I think he is.
Much can be said for Deacon
Will McKechnie. who has won a pen
nant comfortably with a ball club
which is mediocre as pennant- win
ners go. Much can be said for Leo
Durocher, who sparked another
mediocre ball club TO a point well
over its head in the standing. Much
can-or should-be said for Delmar
David Baker. who patched together
a team of veterans, has-beens and
cripples, and kept it flying high all
year.
But all three OF those fellows got
fine cooperation from start to fin
ish. while Mr.. Frisch. taking over in
Pittsburgh, was taught to expect
no cooperation whatever-and what
is more. he got none, until he whaled

valuable service. And the infield,

confidence under careful handling

Requirements have been made
shrewdly and inexpensively. DebS.
Garms, Al Lopez and John Lanning
were not stars or name players, but
Frisch knew their work, and they
have helped him where he needs it.
Rip Sewell never was, and still is
not, a pitcher with great natural
equipment, but Frisch quickly per-
ceived that he had courage and con-
troll. and today Rip is the most con-
sistent winner in the league.
Sixth place to third place Is a
good jump. but the Pirates can go
farther. They are just learning
what it is to play for a man who
will not let you lose until you are

American League Race Stirs
Even Winged Foot GolIery

The American League race this
season has set another record. AS a
rule the golf bug is 100 per cent
golf. Nothing else matters.
Even during the baseball season
you'll hear a flock of big league ball
players talking golf.
But at Winged Foot a big part Of
the gallery has been looking for
afternoon results involving Detroit,
Cleveland and New York. More
than a few scrambled away from
the course to look up a radio and
get the last returns I found the
ma jority at Winged Foot pulling for
the Tigers. The general idea was
that Cleveland had forfeited any
right to win and that the Yankees
had won too often.
They also were pulling for team
picked last April to finish in the
second division, now in the middle
of the pennant row. When you can
get golfers switched to another topic,
II has to be something out of the
ordinary.
Golf is full of odd mental s, aims
For example, Cochran had Strafaci
3 down and 3 to play day or so
back. Cochran had a 3-foot putt
to close out the match at and q
You could sense the tense and taut
situation as he faced the putt. The
ball failed to drop and from that
point on Cochran was an entirely
different golfer After playing well
all day, he suddenly reached the
point where he couldn't hit another
shot with any club in the bag. He
lost the next four holes.
