Fownes, 2d. son of W. C. Fownes, jr., of Oakmont, once national champlon. Jess Sweetser, former Yale star and national amateur champion in 1923, registered a 72 in a round today to equal figures turned in earlier in the week by George von EIm of Los Angeles, runner-up to Jones at Merion a year ago, and Eddie Held of S Louis, former public links and Trans g¢ with a poor putt, his first of two slips on the'| miss ford ot ippi titleholder.

Rudy Knepper estimated that it would take two 70's, but he was ruled down immediately. Many of the entrants will be on the course tomorrow for a final prepara- tory tussle with the difficult terrain, but Jones will not be among them. “I may have done it 100 soon,” he said, “and I am golng to rest to- morrow. I will go to church and spend the rest of the day reading and lounging. I won't touch a club and will stay away from the course until my first qualifying round in the tournament starts Monday morning.” GOLFERS FACE GRUELLING TEST ON OAKMONT LINKS By the Associated Press I the Oakmont Country Club, co northwest of Pittsburgh, are in splen teur championshi The Oakm and some of are unanimo bunkers, ditches, sand pits and traps, When the United States Golf Asso- | clation decided to send the amateur | tournament to Oakmont, club officlals | put a large force of men to work on the fairways and the greens, Yardage on some holes was increased 15 to 25 and new traps were constructed on the falrways, especially where the ground was level, The putting greens are in wonder- ful condition, but like the well trapped| and bunkered fairways, these velvety | carpets of grass are, for the most | part, built on rolling ground and they | present a major drawback to the =olfer who has trouble with pitch shots or who is unfamiliar with the roll of the land. The course in detail: No. 1 (482 Yards, Par 5). Wide fairway, with a decided down- hill shot and a good run to the green. Traps flank the fairway, which is bounded on the right by a fence. The green, on slightly rolling ground, is protected by traps and pits on both sides, with rough in the rear. No. 2 (363 Yards, Par 4). 'he fairway leads slightly uphill, bearing to the left, eliminating any run. A big trap, about 150 yards {rom the tee, takes care of a topped drive. Traps and a ditch run along the left side of the fairway, which is not of sufficient width to permit of a hooked shot. The green is well trapped and is most difficult, with an uphill roll. No. 3 (428 Yards, Par 4) The drive and mashie shots, it kept within the narrow fairway, which is | comparativery level, bring the player | well to the green, which is trapped on | right and lert. There is a bunker to | carry on the tee shot about 175 yards from the driving post. The green is | on a slight elevation, and an over- | played pitch finds the ball in the | rough. No. 4 (341 Yards, Par 3). | This hole, with a wide fairway, | slightly downhill, is of the dog-leg | variety. Traps flank the fairway, with | 1Wo to carry on the second shot if a | player shoots straight for the level green, which is guarded by traps on right and rear. Sand pits take care of a second shot to the left for those who try to avoid the bunker, No. 5 (386 Yards, Par 4). A long line of traps on the right, with pits to the left of the wide, smooth fairway take care of a hooked drive. A natural ditch runs in front of the sloping green with traps on both sides or the putting ground. No. 6 (172 Yards, Par 3). This hole s of the “make or break” | variety, and many a goiter has given | up hope at this point on the Oakmont course. The drive, an iron short down- hill, must clear a valley of extreme rough, landing on the island gréen in one. The green slopes from the rough in the back toward a gully with traps on all sides. No. 7 (395 Yards, Par 4). The wide fairway is level, with a bunker 175 yards off the tee. Bunkers dot the right with traps on the left to catch pulled shots. The green, ex- cepting the front, is guarded by traps. No. 8 (258 Yards, Par 3). The driving tee, on a slight eleva- tion, heads the level fairway. One hundred and_eighty-five yards from | the tee a trap, starting in the center of the fairway, runs along the left o the green, It is one of the biggest traps on the course, requiring 450 tons of sand. A trap in the center of the falrway guards the\ green ap- proach and catches pushed tee shots. There is a natural ditch along the right of the falrway. The green -is well trapped on both sides. No. 9 (477 Yards, Par 5). The fairway leads uphill about half way to the green, with traps on both right x*fi left for a tee shot off line. | Traps must be carried with the second | shot. The green in front of the club- | house, is most difficult. The putting ground, with traps to the right, gives the golfer a chance to demonstrate his skill on rélling terrain. No. 10 (461 Yards, Par 5). The tee shot is slightly downhill, with a wide fairway and traps on both sides. There is a natural ditch | to carry on the second shot. Right and | left traps guard the flat green. No. 11 (395 Yards, Par 4). Two uphill shots are required. A ditch runs along-the fairway for some distance, and, about half way from the tee, it cuts across to the left, running almost 100 yards toward the green. Pits guard the green approach with traps on the right and to the rear. No. 12 (601 Yards, par 5). This hole requires two full shots and a pitch on the downbill fairwey, ITTSBURGH, August 29.—Conceded by leading golfers of the world to be the most difficult course in the United States, the links of vering 170 acres of rolling land just ndid condition for the national ama- p tournament, beginning Monday and ending September 5, ont course has been the scene of many national tournaments, | Bushp. - the well known goliers who have made the round of 18 holes us in the opinion that the links, with many natural hazards, provide a gruelling test. A trap 190 vards catches short drives. Traps likewise guard the right and left, with one running into the fairway from the left for short second shots. Traps flank the green. No. 13 (164 Yards, par 3). This is another island green, re- quiring one shot from the tee. The green slopes toward a serles of traps on the left. No. 14 (349 Yards, par 4). The fairway slopes gently from right to left, with traps on both sides. Pits are found in front of the green to catch bad second shots. The greén is perfectly level, with traps on the sides. from the tee . 15 (420 Yards, par 4). falrway slopes from left right. A bunker, 170 yards from the tee, must be carried on the drive. Two hundred yards out a trap runs into the fairway to catch pushed tee shots. Traps also dot the right and the left, with one to the right of the groan for o pushed second shot. No. 16 (226 Yards, par 3). Requires a full tee shot, downhill, with rough and a boundary fence to the right. The green, on elevation, has a roll to one side, with trees in 'the rear and a pit to the left. The fairway on this hole is most difficult, the ground taking a decided roll all the way. . 17 (300 Yards, par 4). The fairway, uphill, is guarded by a center bunker half-way home. The green is trapped on right and left and is located on the brink of the hill. No. 18 (442 Yards, par 5). The wide level fairway is broken by bunkers and a pit half way in. A large bunker cuts into the course from left to right, with decidedly rough ground on the right. The home green, located on rolling land, is guarded by The | traps in front and on both sides. a slight | REDS DOWN DODGERS, SCORING OVER VANGE By the Associated ross. . BROOKLYN, N. Y.

Sam Mosby miade quite.an impres. sion with his snake story published in the recent bulletin of the Washing- ton Golf and Coyntry Club. As usual, a flock of snake stories came in the wake of the Mosby yarn, but the best of the lot is credited to R. W. Geare and Dr. G. D. Kirkpatrick. Geare and Kirkpatrick were together in Florida last Winter, and took a trip across the Carribean to Bimini, where other beverages than near beer are served. The trip back to Florida was re- ported as rather rough and the two mariners decided to straighten the sea kinks out of their legs by playing a round of golf immediately on their arrival on terra firma. On the twelfth hole Geare velled out that the father of all snakes was colled around his ball, and therewith began making many strokes with his midiron. In the offing stood Kirkpatrick, counting each stroke. When they got together at the hole Kirkpatrick claimed it, but Geare said, “No, those strokes you saw me take were made when I was killing the snake. And he got away with it. | M. R.

The women's club championship will be played September 4 to 6. No qualification round will be necessary. On September 13 and 14 a man's handicap affair will be staged at 18 holes medal play. Sunday, September 27, a_mixed Scotch foursome will be played. Partners for the woman golfers will be selected by lot. “You can’t fool a woodpecker.” With this remark, Dr. J. Alan Tal- bott of the Washington Golf gnd Country Club broke up a perfectly good game last Thursday, when he spied a woodpecker circling over the head of one of his opponents in a four-ball match. John I. Power, to whose head the woodpecker directed its momen- tary attention, apparently undecided whether to light or not, says Talbott’s remark was out of order. The inci- dent broke the game wide open and the players adjourned to the extra hole. Power was playing the six- teenth hole when the woodpecker ap- proached. The death in an airplane accident of Capt. Fraser Hale of the Army Air Bervices, one of the really prominent golfers of the Nation 10 or 12 years ago, removes from Washington one of the leading figures of the game about the Capital.

SPEED TITLE IS KEPT BY BABY BOOTLEGGER By the Associated Press. PORT WASHINGTON, N. Y., August 9.—Baby Bootlegger, Caleb S. Bragg's trim mahogany craft, flying the colors of the Columbia Yacht Club of New York, rules the speed boat world for the second year in succession. In the feature race of the gold cup regatta today, Bragg piloted his craft to vic- tory in_the 90-mile classic and retain- ed possession of the famous gold cup, champiouship trophy of the American Power Boat Assoclation. The race was marked by record- breaking speed, but also was marred by an unprecedented series of acci- which left only three of the original nine starters in the running at the finish. Baby Bootlegger's triumph came as much the result of her staying quali- ties as her speed. She actually won only one of the three 30-mile heats that comprised the event, but finished second in each of the other two to run up her winning point total while all of the other outstanding contenders were put out of the running by a variety of mishaps in the first two heats. ‘The most spectacular accident of the day put out Baby Shadow, Carl G. Fisher's Miami Beach entry, and race wvorite, when she burst into flames while leading and apparently headed for victory in the final lap of the first heat. The fire, due to an accident to the gasoline feed pipe after the connect- ing rod broke, was quickly extinguish- ed by the pilot, Victor J. Kleisrath of the Port Washington Yacht Club, and his mechanician, but it destroyed -the cup hopes of Baby Shadow. She did not enter either of the last two heats. This mishap enabled Miss Nuisance, entry of Mrs. Delphine Dodge Crom- well of New York and driven by Col.. J. G. Vincent of Detroit, to take first place in the heat and set a new world speed record for the gold cup. LINWORTH SENIORS PLAY * HESS A. C.
