C., MONDAY, JANUAR 17, 1927. - Armour Wizard With Irons CONGRESSIONAL CLUB PRO || TOPS FIELD IN SPECIALTY Tommy Lays Iknéth; Wallops Dead to Pin With Merciless Precision, But Admits the Greatest Shot He Ever Made “Was Foolish.” BY BUNKER. Of the great exponents of the long | fron shots in this cour Bobby Cruickshank, Gene & n, Leo Diegel and Tommy Armour command the most presti Armour is regary liant nd of this quartet 1 as the most bril according fo the opinions I have gathered. Armour, since coming to this coun- try as an teur, later to become a professional, and who now is the Congressional Country not been so much in the limelight as some of the other players. He has not won a major championship, but this does not imply he is not a grea player. His showing in Winter golf in the South, among other connec- tions, as playing partner of Bobby Jones in several hig matches—ha seems to excel at match play—has been remarkable. Probably climate h to do with it C e had something Tommy for a long time has suffered from rheumatism, | Sometimes so bad he could scarcely Iift his arms ahove his shoulders This Winter he has had his tonsil out and has told his friends that he feels like a new man. His golf should correspondingly better hereafter. Tommy is a rangy fellow, measur ing 6 feet 115 inches. He weighs 175 pounds. He has powerful hands and wrists. His swing is short and concise, with his hands never d above his shoulders. His right arm, from the elbow, is held close to his body. His balance is perfect and his movement ARMOUR'S GREAT PLAY AGRINST NWETHERED 207EET DEEP TERRACED GREEN — LENGTH OF HOLE G220-YARDS on the back swing is very deliberate, #0 that no control is lost, when he comes into the ball with a snap of the wrists. / They Amaze Massey. Armour says that he never played his_irons better in a single match than he did when he and Bobby Jones met Archie Compston and Arnaud Massey in Florida last Winter. The match was played at Sarasota, which has 11 holes well over 400 yards in length, so there was plenty of opportunity.to use the No. 1 and No. 2 irons. Jones also was playing his long irons to perfection that day. On hole after hole both Armour and he laid long ones dead, completely blocking Compston and Massey. They-| seldom were ffore tharm™five or - six feet away. Their best ball was. 84 and they beat the Britishers, 8 and 7. “T've been playing golf a long time, but I never saw anything like it,” said Massey. Stellar Iron Play. ‘The best run of iron play Armour ever had came in the Midwinter match play championship at St. Au- gustine. Tommy beat Joe Turnesa, Jimmy Donaldson, Leo Diegel and Johnny Farrell in turn to win the ILSON NORMAL SCHOOL athletes are in the midst of an Intersection basket ball tournament preceding the selection of junior and senior class squads to figure in the interclass series for the school title. With three victories chalked up to its credit and no defeats, the section 13A-3 team is leading in the prelimi- nary series. Games have been re- ported so far with the following re- sults: 14A-1 defeated 13A, 11-10; 13A-3 defeated 13B, 39-12; *13A-2 defeated AKX, 26 to 8; 13A-3 defeated 13. 39 to 8; 13B defeated AK, 27-10: 13. de- feated 13A-2, 32-4; 13B defeated 13A-2, 18-12, and 13A-3 defeated 13B. Following the two out of three series for the &chool championship, tryouts will be held for the varsity squad, which will receive athletic em- blems and will compete in one game, the annual alumni-varsity clash, which always winds up the season at Wilson ‘ormal. N mittee of judges will be se- Jected to pass on the varsity group, composed of Ruth Oberle, coach; two physicial tralning instructors ‘from other schools, two members of (‘h» or alumni squad and the manager this year.

He was 22 strokes under 4s for the week of play. This was mostly due to superb | | long iron play. | In the first round against Turnesa he had to make a 68 to win 3 and 2 Incidentally, right at the start he | had to get the bettter of a long-iron duel in order to keep in the running. | Four of the first seven holes called for good, strong iron shots and | Turnesa delivered some beauties. |~ On the third hole Joe was eight feet | from the cup, so that Armour had to ay his ball dead, which he did. On | the fourth Joe was 15 feet away; Tom | got inside him at 12 feet. On the sixth Joe was close; Tom hit the pin {On the sixth Joe's 200-yard second shot stopped six feet from the cup; | | Tom struck his but_threefeetaway. Armour continued his deadly work gainst Jimmy Donaldson, but it was against Leo Diegel that he rose to he heights. He always was right on he pin. The deadliness of his per- formance is illustrated by his second | shote on the tenth, eleventh and twelfth holes. Three times in a row he hit the pin with his second shot. | Leo succumbed to a 66. His Greatest Shot “Foolish.” The greatest long iron shot Tommy ever made came during the Irish amateur championship of 1919 at Port Rush. He and Roger Wethered, who later won the British amateur -OF-BOUNDS BUNHER 9 Romp=0u7- ROAD = OUT-0F-BOUND championship, finished 18 holes all even and went to the first hole to settle the issue, if possible. Tommy, in describing this shot, says it was his best, but admits that it was a mighty foolish play. The first hole measured 420 vards, bending a bit to the right at 200 yards. The green was terraced at the back, and was a very hazardous affair to reach. A bunker 20 feet deep guarded the entrance on the right and one almost as bad was planted on the left. The territory on two sides at the rear was out of bounds. 3 ‘Wethered missed his drive and was short, but Armour delivered a fine shot. Roger was, of course, short on his second, and wisdom should have led Tommy. then to play for the edge of the green and depend on a chip-shot to win the battle. In- stead he took a No. 1 iron and, dis- regarding all hazards, shot for the pin. He laid his ball three feet from the cup. Wethered took a 5 to get down, so Tommy was content to sink a 4 He was beaten in the finals by Carl Bretherton. (Copyrizht. 1027.) (Next, Bunker will tell about the most accurate driver in golf.)

Dave Cox and his team- mates were given a joit some weeks ago by the Smithflelds and Recre- ation bowlers, but Dave and his gang refused to stay “put” and with the addition of some new blood have forged ahead and must be considered strong contenders.

Jimmie Clark relinquished the reins of the Georgetown crew to Mark Chaconas, one of Washington's lead- ing ballplayers, and has signed up with Ed Steiwer's Orrison Coal Co. It was Jimmie's fate to see Georgetown trim his new mates for two games. Hugh Rellly Co. left the alleys with a two-game victory over the Recre- ation team and were well satisfied.
