» THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, OCT. 6, 1931. By GEORGE McMANUS A BAD KNEE Keol HAIM OFF THE GRID) LAST SEASON GENE ST rAcE THE BaLe OVER THE GOAL LINE N 1920, A lot of the harsh things said abecut the United States Golf acsociation’s 1931 “seeding” or nking” list should be and here-| are rciracted. | Only two of the firsy eight on the list failed to make the qualifying | grade at Beverly. Whether it was because they were paired together | by or not, the extraordinary fact was | that the two conspicuous failures, | “Jimmy” Johnston ofSt.Pauland | Phil Perkins of New York, played a | tetal of four rounds of golf in two days, without either being able to break 80. They were the No. 1 and 3 men on the “seeding” list, which ac- quired no prestige thereby and| which further was made to look bad when the Nos. 2, 4 and 5 men, Gene Homans, Johnny Goodman and Charley Seaver, were bounced out of the championship at Beverly in the first round. | Bay State Feud { Until Pred Wright lost a battle| with the hailstones and his fly- weight Kansas City opponent, Paul Jachson, it appeared likely Beverly would furnish the battleground for an all-Boston debate between: Wright, the state champion, and Francis Ouimet. Wether it has been exactly ai feud or not, the Wright-Ouimet ri- valry, it seems, has developed some acute arguments among their fol- lowers in the old Bay State. Mainly it is due to the present rating of Wright in his home state as a one-handicap man and Ouimet at scratch. Wright's friends con- tend this is a slap at the five-time state champion. Ouimet has stayed out of the Massachusetts tournament for a number cof years, thereby avoiding cenclusions with Wright. The veteran’s friends contend his international record is sufficient to end any argument, but the Boston delegation would have becen on hand in solid formation if the luck of the national championship draw had brought Fred and Francis to- gether.

Apparently he does not need edi- torial prodding to get his copy to the wires early. Allowing for some Jjournalistic professionals, he does a speedy job. Beverly’s Tough Hole Beverly's particular pride is its No. 6 hole, aone-shotter, 187 yards from the championship tee,craltilyf trapped and laid out. The club’s officials pointed it out to Mr.Jones and others with unconcealed sat-' isfaction. A very, very tough hole,! indeed, they remarked. | Imagine the shock, therefore, when in a single afternoon of the national amateur championship play, George Dunlap and Jack Westland halved it in deuces; pin with his tee shot and missed an ace by six inches; and Fay Cole- man sank an explosion shot from a sandtrap for another deuce. | On the same hoie, Sandy Somer- | ville, the Canadian champion p]zy-; ing with Coleman, hit a spectator on the head with his tee shot and| scored a knockout. ) profitably. i i Bobby Jones doesn't manipulate PLIONES 83 OR 85 ¥ WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THAT QLY ? —y Al Rights Roverved by Thé Associated Prege. - [} SAY THE TIME Wt AROULUND IN'NO"ALL FOR? ) i BRINGING UP FATHER S wELL wWHATS ne (] [ { GOWN HES A'YES-SIR" CLUY ON HI% VACATION - LOW SCORING MARKS FIRST PIN CONTESTS Athletics and Senators Win Their Matches on Elk Alleys New stiff pins and old stiff arms had a lot to do with the compara- tively low scores rolled on the Elk illeys last night as the first bowl- ng tournament of the season got under way.
