while he still had age in his favor.
He made his pro debut in the
Delaware Open, which had at the
most couple thousand dollars in
prize money, and won almost 800.
Greiner then came to Washington
for the National Capital Open and
finished ahead of lot Of name
golfers and picked up $3.50, ire
mendous encouragement to him at
that time.
Since then he has travelled through
most every State in the Union. He
made most of the summer tour last
year, the entire winter tour and has
been on the trail all of the current
summer.
A Tournament Regular.
Despite his defeat by Jimmy De-
maret in the st. Paul Open playof1
yesterday, it appears that Greiner
has arrived. He picked up $l,750
there, plus a share of the playoff
gate, and his name will command
more respect from now on.
Manchester signed Greiner as his
assistant at Baltimore's Woodholme
Club last year and when the 90
year-old ex-Navy flyer started on
the tour he had more than the
moral support of the Woodholme
members. He had financial back
ing as well.
Otto's biggest check prior to yes
terday was $500 for fourth place
finish in the Jacksonville Open. He
had won more than $1,000, includ-
ing STA in the National Open,
where he tied for fourteenth, and

tournament that preceded st. Paul.
The only title Greiner holds is the
District of Columbia Open cham
pionship. won last year at Indian
Spring when he picked up 1925 for
shooting 68-73-14l at Indian
Spring. But most of the beatings
he has handed out locally were in
amateur tournaments, when he in
cluded the Maryland State, Middle
Atlantic and Baltimore Open cham
pionships among his conquests.
Greiner and Bobby Brownell feuded
for years, with honors about even.
Baltimore's Best Effort.
The Baltimore Sun called Grein-
er's 15-under-par 273 score at st.
Paul the finest performance ever
turned in by a Baltimore golfer, but
it was not an unexpected one. Be-
fore the war his amateur play was
of national championship caliber.
His golf game was threatened for q
while after his Navy discharge as
he had stomach ailment, but he
apparently has conquered that in
his rise to stardom.
The poker-faced fellow with the
Bob Hope chin has sound golf
game. He hits the ball as far as all
but the real power hitters. He can
be a sensational putter at times,
such as last year, when he led the
Nation in qualifying for the Ma
tional Open after a "a at his home
Country Club of Maryland course
and his "a in the comparatively
minor Gainesville (Fla) Open,
where he picked up nice check that
was not included in the pro golf
earnings, but one that looked
mighty good to Otto.
There's selfish reason for the

To get Walcott and Lesnevich to
take part in the big fistic double

a costly maneuver since Zale, the
middleweight champ, has been
guaranteed 100000 and Cerdan,
$4,000.

Promoter Andy Niederreiter. who
runs the T. of c., got an exclusive"

Mont, Ex-Terp, Shines
In Bid for Regular
Spot With Skins
By Lewis F. Atchison
Siar Stoff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.-Biggest
surprise of the Redskin training
operation has been Tommy Mont S
return to the form that made him
standout at the University of
Maryland three years ago. With
Harry Gilmer on the ailing list,
Mont has shared pitching chores
with Sammy Baugh and Tom Farm
er and has not suffered by COM
parison.
Mont Is 100-to-1 shot to be
in the Tribes No. l defensive back
field, but the solemn-eyed young
man from Cumberland, Md, is max
ing bid for regular job on Of
Tense that might pay of. He's
throwing strikes in scrimmage, toss
ing touchdowns to Paul Mckee, Jim
PEBBLES and Charley Newman, and
handles the running attack like an
old timer.
Gilmer has the inside track In
the race to be Baughs understudy,
but never in recent Redskin his
tory has the team come up with
a crack defensive player good
enough on offense to merit consid-
Grafton for q starting berth.
Making Shag Look Right.
Tommy is taking it all in stride.
He's a purposeful lad who came
out here to show the Redskin bosses
Clark Shaughnessy was right when
ne tagged him as promising young
star at Maryland. Shag called
him one OF the best r quarterbacks
ne ever coached and the Chicago
Bears thought enough of him to
60 after him. The New York Giants
got him in the draft, but when he
came home from war Tom had
another year at Maryland and went
back.
He looked pretty bad and made
Shaughnessy look pretty bad as a
judge of talent, but the old gent
stubbornly insisted that Mont had
it. Steve Owen of the Giants
couldn't go along with Clark after
reading the Maryland scout reports
and when he got a chance to palm
him of on the Skins he let him 60.
The first good news Prexy George
Marshall had about Mont came
from the College Al-Stars game
at Chicago last year when Notre
Danes Frank Leahy called him
the best defensive back on the
squad. But that heartening note
turned sour when Mont injured his
elbow, missed the All-Star game and
ruined his chances with the Skins.
Working Like Big Lacquer.
They sent him to Wilmington for
a spell and when he did come back
near the end of the season he was
no ball of fire.
That was last year. Reverse the
record and you have his current
story in a nut shell. Heading into
his third week of training, Mont
definitely has proved himself q big
leaguer-more Of one than some
rockies whose chances OF making
the grade seemed brighter than his
when training started. Tom is q
real triple-threater. although he
doesn't profess to be much of q ball
carrier. He is kicking as we'll as
anybody and defensively stands head
and shoulders over most of his
teammates.
1t seems that Shaughnessy was
right after all. He's with the Rams
now. remember 1t would be ironical
if the lad he begged the Skins to
keep beats his new club next month.
Yesterdays twin workouts - the
second scrimmage to test the pass
defenses-constituted the hardest

William T. Andrews found this

When after it was conceded that
Crump was victor even by the
