BY WALTER McCALLUM.

The little guy with the lantern
jaw. the big pivot and the over
sized feet cranked up and hit a
golf ball down the right side Of
| the fairway with little hook which
| gave the ball a big run over the
sun baked turf. The ball stopped
around the 240-yard mark. 1t was
colossal wallop. Then he took
midiron and smacked an iron
shot 18O yards to the middle of
the green, 10 feet from the cup,
and sank the putt for birdie.
The sports writer's told how the
new champ undersized in height
and weight and diversified in foot
length, had birdied the toughest
hole on the course in winning the
National Open.
The year was 1912, and Johnny
McDermott was the top man around
the golf courses of the United
States, pint-sized fellow who
grew up in caddie pen at Atlantic
City and Merchantville, and who
held in that year and the preced-
ing year the Open title. That was
before Francis Ouimet had plas-
tered golf all over the front page
by whipping Harry Vardon and
Ted Ray, the great Englishmen
And long before chubby-faced boy
named Bobby Jones came out of
Atlanta to whip up the finest rec
ord any golfer ever has made.
McDermott Here Today.
Johnny McDermott is in town
today, playing the Chevy Chase
with Bob Barnett. In outward ap-
pearance he is the same cocky gent
who won two straight United States
Open championships from good
fields. Hollow-eyed just as he used
to be, with the big feet that an
chored the 1911 and 1912 champion
to the tee when he swung on a full
Dermott a long way off, had you
seen him in his winning years.
What a contrast in style there
is between this great champion of
80 years ago and the champions
of today For Johnny McDermott,
the greatest of his day The tied
for the title in 1910 and won it in
1911 and 1922 had the big body
pivot, the full, free swing that the
old, half-dead ball needed to knock
it any distance Today, with
livelier sphere and with powerful
steel shafts, the champions of 1941
are knocking the ball so yards fur
ther than McDermott could hit that
1911 rubber marble. And with half
the effort, and so per cent more &C
curacy.
Johnny McDermott is a symbol
of the old days of golf He won
his titles in 1911 and 1912 with
scores of 307 and 294, the latter
score setting championship rec
ord. Two years later Hagen, the
cockiest kid of them all. set a new
record of 290 to win at Midlothian.
Since that time the record has been
doing steady toboggan.
Today the record. over tougher
courses than those Johnny McDer-
mott and the others played, is 281,
done by Ralph Guldahl in 1898 at
Detroit. And in minor Journeys it
takes 280 or so to get in the money.
Improvements in equipment, care
fully groomed courses and, above
all, improvements in shotmaking
technique forced by keener compe-
tition have wrought the change in
golf since McDermotts day. But

DC. Visit of Johnny McDermott
Recalls Days of 30 Years Ago
When He Ruled u. S. Golf

the guy. in every sense Of the word,
spans two distinct generations Of
golfers.
He was the first homebred pro-
fessional to stop the reign of Scot
land and England in golf in the
United States. Before the slim lit
tie fellow from New Jersey came
along you had to have a Mac" or
an Alex" in your name to win any
important title on American golf
courses. The Scots and the Britons
were winning everything, and the
American-born boys were stymied.
1t isn't so today. Last Scotsman to
win the Open championship was
Tommy Armour. That was back in
1927. Since then native-born Amer
leans have won the big crown every
year.
Was C0cky Y0ungster.
Johnny was cocky, and he had a
right to be. Here was a kid up from
the caddie pen, winning the National
Open. The world stretched bright
and rosy before him. Except after
1918. For at Shawnee that year, SO
the story goes, Johnny made an un-
fortunate and badly advised crack
about how good the American-born
pro golfers were going to be, and
how they were going to relegate the
English and the Scots to the back
ground. There was a good deal Of
feeling about native-born and i'm
ported professional golfers in those
days. There isn't today. They are
all golfers, and if a Scotsman or
an Englishman wins. so much the
better. He has to lick the best to
win, which is all right in any sport.
But Johnny is said to have made
remark that hit the front page
of a lot of newspapers. The riding
he took preyed on his mind. For a
lot of years now Johnny has been
out of competitive golf, an inmate
of an institution near Philadelphia.
The clubs he plays are museum
pieces. McDermott, in addition to
having pair of diversified pedal ex-
tremities. has big hands for a little
fellow. He has built up the grips
on those archaic wooden-shafted
weapons of 1918 vintage until it
takes a fellow with a huge paw to
wrap a horny hand around those
grips. Yet they feel good. He takes
good care of those clubs. OF course
he remembers the day when they
won everything for him.
But when you contrast that loose,
free swing of 1912 and 1918 with the
accurate, powerfully timed wallop Of
the topnotchers of today you realize
that golf is another game. It's lot
different nowadays.

In 1898 these lines, just appear

answer to the fisherman's prayer,
for this new product was braided
smoothly, was waterproof, and cast
well, both with a flyrod and bait
casting rod We believed 1t to be
the all-purpose line for the chap
who couldn't afford new ones every
year.
In the hy-line it floated naturally
not because it is a characteristic but
because of treatment. In the long
lines used offshore, however, the
stretch left one with feeling of
having lost the fish.
This stretch in the early lines
amounted to Is per cent of its
length. In later lines it has been
reduced and sportsmen now believe
they have a line that is just about
right. The 5-pound test size with a
3-ounce bait-casting rod and light
reel is as nearly perfect for bay
fishing as the light-tackle enthusiast
will find. We like it because its
action in the water is comparable
to cotton thread-a line size we
always have believed adequate for
any upper bay fishing.

The

Hints of Another Cobb
In Dodgers Reiser
By GRANTLAND RICE,


Two years ago, sitting in the shade
Of the sheltering palms of st. Peters,
burg, we saw number of rival
teams trying to shackle a young
Dodger infielder. The kid, who was
only 1S at the time, finally ran his
string to eight straight blows before
they retired him.
Today Leo Durocher, his mana
ger, figures this young ball player
has his chance to be the Ty Cobb
of tomorrow. His name is Pete
Reiser, moved from short to center
field. one of the top sensations of
the 194l show
Il know what another Ty Cobb
means Durocher says. But if
there ever will be another Ty Cobb
his name will be ReiSer. Pete came
to me three years ago when he was
only II and wanted me to take him
along to camp He is St. Louis
boy and l thought he was much
too young. He must have been a
good big league player even then.

Dodgers Will Get Flag,
Durocher Believes

What sort of fellow is he? A
great kid. As good as he Is. Pete
always is anxious to learn. He and
Pee Wee Reese, who are about the
same age, are two pals. They room
together, and each thinks the other
is the best there is. Pete still has a
few things to learn-say. about
base-running-but he is learning
fast. And I don't think / ever saw
anybody who loved baseball more.
Approaching July and the half
way pole, Durocher looks out on the
future>with an unwrinkled brow.
Il know how good those Cardi-
mails are" he told me, "but we have
well-rounded club and should win.
We've been doing all right so far,
but l believe We'll get better. In
the first place. We have the strength
needed through the center - our
catching, our second-short conbi-
nation and Reiser.
I'VE also have one of the most
consistent pitching stats you'll find
anywhere
Evening star., 1941-07-03
Reiser Strong, Rugged,
NoturoI Hitter

III tell you about this kid. He
Is only 81 years old He weighs
185 pounds, about Cobbs ball-play-
ing weight, and like Cobb he is
strong and rugged. He is a little
faster than Ty was at his best. To
my mind I'll take Reiser for speed
against any one in baseball today
from either league.
That isn't all. Pete is a natural
hitter. He has no weakness that
I've ever seen or that any pitcher
has yet found. When he learns a
little more through experience he
may easily move into the 400 class.
That still isn't all. Reiser has a
fne arm, better than most. He
sizes up the play in a flash and
he starts in flash.
"RelSer came to us as a short
stop. I had Reese at short and we
needed good centerf1elder who
could cover ground. I asked Pete
If he could play the outfield. He
told me, without any touch of brag-
ging, can catch if you need me
there
Il found out that he could. He
already has shown how we'll he
could play third and short. He can
play any position on the club. and
look good in them all. This is re-
markable for a young fellow of 81.
