The scores in the public links
junior playoffs yesterday were not
sensational, but considering that
almost 80 per cent of the young
sters who took part in the clinics
were brand new to the game. then
the scores have more value.
Most of the "a finalists who
qualified from Rock Creek, Fort

Bean. supervisor of the public
courses, estimated that of the
youngsters who first turned out. a
great majority never had picked
up a golf club.
Equipment was loaned to the
youngsters who needed it. and the
winners yesterday in the boys and
girls divisions each received a
set of irons and the runnersup a
set of woods.
Bean planned match play

started too late and now there
would not be sufficient time to
run one off before school starts.

Tough Matches Ahead
For Turnesa, TitIist,
In Amateur Golf
ey the Asseeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Defend-
ing Champion Willie Turnesa will
sit out the first round Of the Ma
tional golf tournament next
Monday at Rochester, N. Y, but
from then on things get interest
ing.
The draw, announced today by
the United States Golf Associa-
ton. gives the little wedge master
from Elmsford, N. Y. an opening
bye followed by perhaps the
roughest road of all to the title.
The champs second-round foe
Is figured to be Ernest Millward,
young English Walker Cup star
who carried him to the last hole
in the semif1nals of the British
Amateur this year. !
Millward earlier had beaten
Ronnie White. regarded as Brit
aims outstanding simon pure play
er. So he could be tough medicine
for Willie, who was far on his
game in the recent Walker Cup
matches.
Granting he survives, Turnesa
in the next round would have to
play the winner of bracket that
includes Charles Chick Evans,
the veteran Chicagoan who won
two United States crowns more
than Is years ago.
As a fourth-round opponent, If
form prevails. the 35-year-old
titleholder would run against Ray
Billows, his Walker Cup mate and
three-time runnerup, whom he
defeated, 2 and /, in the finals
at Memphis q year ago.
Turnesa is in the same half OF
the draw with Max McCready and
White, leading threats of Britain's
strong entry. McCready trounced
Willie for the British Amateur
crown this year. White. the Eng
lish champion, was hero In the
recent Walker Cup matches at
Mamaroneck, N. Y. figuring in
England's only two victories.
The blind draw threw Frank
stranahan Of Toledo. Ohio, and
Robert (Skee) Riegel of Tulsa.
Okla, the 1947 champion, in the
same quarter bracket. These two
leading contenders for the title
will clash in the third round
Wednesday morning-if they wade
through earlier tests. Stranahan
has won the British and Canadian
Amateur championships but has
never been close to the United
States title.
