ALL VICTORS SAVE SWEETSER TO PLAY Jones Tops List of Ex-Title Holders, Who Will Tee Off at Minneapolis on August 22—Voigt Is Considered R EW- YORK. August 9 — With the exception of Jess Sweets every amateur who has won the title since 1914 will be at Minikahda Club, Minneapolis, for the national amateur golf cham pionship. which starts a week from next Monday. The names of nine ex- rhampions apps on the starting time list which the United States Golf As- sociation released vesterddy. Their presence. together with of 161 other notables from al the country, means that George Von Elm, the light-haired Californian, is in for a fight when it comes time for him to defend the title that he won by beating Bobby Jones at Baltusrol last Fall. It is expected that Von Elm's prin- cipal opposition will come from the man that he prevented last year from breaking a record by winning the title three times in a row—Jones. But, besides Jones, there will also be on hand Francis Ouimet, Robert A. Gardner, Chick Evans, S. Davidson Herron, Jess Guilford, Max Marston, none of whom would be averse to ac- cepting the championship for another vear if it was put up to him properly and two other former champions, W. C.

BY SOL METZGER. Follow Tommy Armour, in the open, and you will agree with every one who has done this same thing that he is one of the finest of all iron players. I like to watch him best of all when a stray shot has left him some 40 or 50 vards from he green, with noth- ing but deep pits to carry to reach his objective. At Oakmont his play in this respect was outstanding. On one such shot he almost holed out with his spade mashie. T have pictured his playing this shot. Note how his arms hug his body throughout the stroke. The shot is played with crispness and very little pivot, but quite a bit of hip slide, as you will note by com- paring plctures 2 and 4, which show him at the top of his back- swing and at contact. This crisp- ness gives the ball a great deal of elevation, so that the backspin takes hold rapidly on the green. Incidentally, one of the best ways to study golf is to study prints of moving pictures of the masters playing their favorite shots. If you really study them until able to un- derstand them you will get a very clear idea of how the various shots are played. (Copyrizht. 1027.) Mrs. H.

ST. LOUIS, August seven players who hoped to get off on the first round of the national public parks tennis tournament here waited for a drying sun today to put the courts into condition. The same schedule which was postponed on account of rain yester- day was in effect today, providing the courts were dry enough to begin play in. the afternoon. With plenty of time to spend, the players and of- ficials of the tournament have ten- tatively formed an organization to be known as the National Public Parks Tennis Association, which, they said, was designed to premanently sponsor the annual competition. The organization, it was said, would help to standardize the preliminary in the clties which are interested in sending players to the natlonal tour- ney. In event the organization is per- manently formed at a meeting Thurs- day the association will petition the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion for official recognition. A committee was named yesterday to draw up rules and by-laws fro sub- sion to the group of players and officials at the meeting Thursday. 9.—Twenty- S .
