Unless Manager Harris sees fit to change his mind the Yankees this afternoon will face a former club mate in Joe Bush, who went from | New York to St. Louis, where the obtalned him. after having pre- viously seen service in both Philadel- phia and Boston. Bush flivvered Thursday in his first start as a Na tional and now is the only member of Washington's big four yet to make good on the mound, for Walter Ruether displayed gratifying form against the Mackmen yesterday, de &pite the fact that Fred Marberry had to be summoned to his rescue in the ninth inning. Dutch Weakens Near Finish. Aside from the fifth inning when triple and a single by Fitz French, who was a bearcat with the bat yesterday, produced a tally, the lanky southpaw hurled shut-out ball in the first seven rounds. In the elzhth he was reached for another pair of tallies, but Simmons’ triple alone of the four hits he yielded then untainted, the other three being infield scratches. Ruether appeared to weaken In the final frame when real hits by Pinch Hitter Wambsganss and French gave Marberry a chance to enact his fa Vorite role, but the Dutchman was Joose In his movements, sported a wide hook and plenty of speed, and with this game under his belt should be fit to go the route next time. Of the 19 players Cornellus McGil- lieuddy called on vesterday in an ef- fort to get an even break with the Nationals no less than five were pitchers. Sam Gray started and was yanked in the third when thinge be gan to get too hot for him. Fred Heimach succeeded him and Sanen i the next round because of wildness, and Robert Moses Grove was the victim of a savage attack that sent oim to the showers in the following frame. Rube Walberg was next on the list and gave way to a pinch hitter after working two innings, while Ed Rommel, who ran second to Johnson in the 15.inning opening day clash, finished up. Judge Factor in Scoring. Judge and Bluege provided the singles, which, with Myer's death, ac- ted for the first Griffithian run, the second inning. while Rice's louble and singles by Goslin and Joe jiarris developed in the third inning when run No. 2 was registered.

So | it appeared a cinch that the scram-| ble for the title would be a merry one from start to finish. It certainly | looked in advance like the most open of open championships, with big odds | wi nted against any starter in the | fleld. But golf is a strange game. brilliant to come over to this Wins by Big Margin. I won the championship by a m . gin of 9 strokes with a total of 289. The difference between my score and that of Walter Hagen and Freddy McLeod, who tied for second. was the largest in 20 years. Starting with a fine round of 69, I made every post a winning one, as they say in racing circles, the other rounds being 75, 73 and 72 Of course, this success confirmed my beliet that, given good physical condi- tion, I might have won the British open at St. Andrews a few weeks be- fore. PBut that was merely a proposi- tion of might-have- been. And might have-beens aren’t worth a nickel a dozen in golf. T have always attributed the victory at Columbia to one thing, and that was a_matter of policy and tactics Away back in one of the e: - cles of this s of a lesson learned in my first national mplonship at Buffalo in 1912. That was, that the player who ex- pects to achieve winning golf has to learn to meet conditions of play as he finds them, whether they are extraor- dinary because of the weather or | whatnot. That_lesson served in good | stead at Columbia. Greens Are Hard Hit. | Owing to a spell of dry, hot weather a few weeks before the tournament, | some kind of trouble attacked the | Columbia putting greens. Dr. Walter Harban, who is the reigning figure at the matter of upkeep of the course a Columbia, found himself suddenly in a trying situation, with the champion- ship only a short time away. He called in some government experts on grasses and remedies were prescribed. Unfortunately they made matters at least for the time being worse than ever, so that when the championship started many of the greens were burned quite brown in great big spots. As a result they were slippery and treacherous, and made putting ex- ceedingly delicate and difficult. Even before the start of the cham- pionship, in the preliminary practice rounds, most of the players were complaining about the greens, saying | | that was Impossible to putt on' them. If they went for a putt and the ball slid past the hole, it might roll 5, 6 or 8 feet past, and there would be another miss coming back. T felt reasonably sure that more than n few were going to hurt their chances serfously, worrying over these conditions and their consequent failure to hole putts that they thought they should. Let any player start out on a round with three putts on the first two or three greens, and he has to be a steady settled cam- it ents of the Marjorie Webster School, Larkin and Doris Davis and another while the Mitchellites were exhlblting much improved teamwork. The winning quintet was composed of Judith Fishburn, captain; Louise Roff, Myra Manning, Elizabeth Con- way and Jane Duvall. Park View schiag ball team, the pres- ent titleholder in the Columbia Heights division, Elementary School Schlag Ball League, gave every indi- cation of continulng its ‘“winning habit” this year when it scored a de- cisive victory over the Monroe players yesterday on the Park View fleld. The final score was 14 to 8. Monroe is one of Park View’s most fermidable rivals for honors in section A of the Columbia Heights division. In the Georgetown division Curtis- Hyde earned an 8-5 decision over Ad- dison, while Brookland defeated Keene, 17 to 10, in the Bloomingdale loop.

Jock Hutchison had, of course, won the British title only a short time before. Prior to that Spring Jock had enjoyed an un usually successful Winter and earl Spring season.

He | was still' in his winning stride when we went abroad. Yet in the Columbia championship he never had a round below his score on one round was 83. He finished 22 strokes back of me. The answer is that he had reached his peak earlier and with the winning of the British title he let down. On the other hand, I hit the top of my game at Columbia. Walter Hagen was only approaching the top of his stride there, trying for second place, but not long after that he went to the top, when he won the Western, and later on the Professional Golfers’ Association title as well, beating me out in the final match at the Inwood Country Club by 3 and 2 (Next: Good Golf to Beat a Lady.)
