4 YANKEE GOLFERS REPEAT NTLEPLAY | DURING LAST YEAR Jones, Hagen, Collet and Die- gel Retain and Regain Title Honors By BRIAN BELL New York, Dec. 29.—(7)—Golf in 1928 brought some repeating cham- Pionships, a good trick if you can do it. Bobby Jones won the Amateur for the fourth time, a tie for the rec- ord; Walter Hagen captured his third British Open, Glenna Collett took the ‘Women’s title which she had won in 1922 and 1925, and Leo Diegel made the Canadian Open his when he had had scored two previous triumphs. Johnny Farrell, who prepared for the golf heights by winning eight minor championships in 1927, finally reached his objective when he won the Open. after a play-off with Bobby Jones. After being out of the money in 1927, the Atlanta lawyer came back to claim the runner-up place in the 1928 title quest. The Georgian’s rec- ord for seven years was made to read two victories. three seconds, one tie for second and one tie for eleventh. Diegel in addition to winning the familiar Dominion crown dethroned ‘Walter Hagen who had been estab- lished for four years as champion of the Professional Golfers’ Association. Perkins Fails Here Thomas Philip Perkins. an unas- suming golfer with a twinkling eye behind sedate spectacles, won the British Amateur championship from @ good field but had no golfing luck on this side of the Atlantic. He was routed by Bobby Jones in the Walker Cup matches, 13 up and 12 to play and although he did much better in the Amateur and played his way to the finals, he was again no match for Jones, and bowed again to the Atlantan. ten up and nine to play. Mile. Manette le Blan, kept the British women’s title in France, al- though Mile. Simone Thion de la Chaume. defending champion, was eliminated by Glenna Collett. Miss Collett later fell before the steadiness of Miss Mabel Wragg, the Yorkshire champion, in the fourth round. The Walker Cup was ably defended ‘by a team headed by Robert T. Jones, Jr. the invading British amateurs being repulsed 11 to 1. T. rance won the lone point scored by the British. There was no international profes- sional team play in 1928 but pros from the United States will go to England in April to compete for the Ryder Cup. now held in the United States. ‘Walter Hagen will lead the best of the American homebreds into the overseas fight, including Johnny Farrell. the champion of champions at the moment. and Leo Diegel. P. G. A. titlist, who insisted that Hagen act as team leader, although the cap- taincy under ordinary circumstances ‘would go with the pro titl, “The Haig,” of course, will carry iis British championship with him. Ryder Matches Anticipated The Ryder Cup matches in England ‘will make Muirfield a real battlefield at the British Open in May for all the members of the United States team and perhaps a dozen other native and adopted Americans will compete with the British, who have not concealed their unrest at the continued absence of their most prized trophy. The golf goose hangs high in the United States for the new year. Golf history will be made on many fronts. For the first time the Amateur will be played on the Pacific slope, Del Monte, Calif., getting the prize. The Professionals will have their annual slug fest at Santa Barbara and the Open will be fought over the rugged ‘Winged Foot course at Mamaroneck, N. ¥. The Women will play at Oak- land Hills, near Detroit. Farrell's Triumph Great The 1929 Open will go down in the records as a great triumph for the brilliant Johnny Farrell and a tragedy: for an ill fated young golfer. Roland Hancock. son of a professional and a pro in his own right at Wilmington, N. C. Bobby Jones as a menace has come to be taken for granted over the years and he is news only when he is Not one-two. as was the case at Oak- mont in 1927. Hancock came to the last two hoies, at Olympia Fields. with Farrell end Jones all finished, tied at.29¢, the New Yorker. having come from_ seven strokes behind to tie the Georgia Magician. The Wilmington lad need- ed 6-5 on the last two holes to make it a triple tie or anything better than these liberal figures to win without further struggle. A surging crowd all over the course and almost on top of his ball unnerved the young pro and he used 12 terrible strokes to play the final holes, divided six each. The next day Farrell and. Jones “went out to decide the issue, this overtime excursion marking: the third for Jones in an Open title event. Farrell's 143 was a stroke better Jones could produce. The Atlantan came back in the Amateur at Brae Burn to make a show of the field in the latter stages of the competition, He won all but one match by top heavy scores. He had to go an extra hole for the first time in his major tournament career | * to defeat Ray Gorton, a veteran but sensational golfer, but past that haz- ard he coasted home, over the 36 hole route. . Beck of Britain fell. 14 and ‘13, the than ful ter goes with the sweet when he went out to defend his cherished P. G. A. crown, won five times, four in succes- sion.
