A new yarn of the irrepressible caddy who' takes it upon himself to better the lie of his player was ought to Washington last week by Lieut. F. C. Denebrink of the Office of al Intelligence, who has just returned from the Philippine Islands. The natives of the islands, Lieut. Denebrink explained, go unshod, and when a player shoots Into the rough he does not worry, for he is certain to have a good lie. By the time he progresses to his ball he finds it lying on the fairway, brought there by the caddie who has the helpful habit of carrying the pellet out of the rough between his toes. This seems to be a much more subtle and altogether more satigfactory way than the habit of teeing the ball up in the rough. teams the Members of the Washington Golt Club may now play the twelfth hole in conitort, with the as- iranca that a goed drive will not go booming into a hunker formerly lo- ated about 180 vards from the tee. While the best players of the club bawail the absence of the bunker, which they could carry, the rank and fils belleve removal of the hazard will make the hole much more a pleasure to play than formerly.

The match. was played on “one of the hottest days in the history of ‘Westchester County,” Davis said, and brought forth the use of a bucket of ice by one side of the foursome while the other two used water from hydrants when the heat reduced the balls almost to putty. Willie Park, jr., an English pro- fessional, and B. Spalding de Gar- mendia, one of the scratc nll"'en at St. Andrew’s, opposed Willie Tucker, golf course architect, and Arthur Livermore. Stakes were $1,000. Tucker and Livermore did the first 18 holes in 80 and the second in 81, while Park and De Garmen- dia took 82 and 84, in spite of their preserving plant.

UT of the haze of comparative obscurity, from the ranks of the known great who had not then come into glory of cham- plonships, Tommy Armour, professional at ' the Congressional Country Club, has blazed his w through the strongest fields golf can muster to stand today at the crest of the professional game on the Amer- fean continent, champion of two na- tions and admittedly the outstand. | ing professional golfer of the year. It started at Oskmont, on that hot June day, when Tommy curved a 12- foot putt into the cup to put him into a tie with Harry Cooper for the title he won the next day. And Toronto sealed It a few days ago when the fighting Scot who knows another and grimmer type of scrap than that of the golf course, carved out a 70 over the last round in the Canadian open cham- plonship to win his second national open_ title within a space of two months, Three professionals stand out this year as leaders of the brigade who earn their livelthood from the game. Bobby Crufckshank was the hero of the Winter, winner of a trio of big titles, and 'the biggest money-maker of the Southern season. Johnny Far. rell came along as soun as the pros turned North, winning the Metro- politan and the Eastern, the Shawnee open and a couple of other important tournaments. Armour Tuned-up Here. In between came Tommy Armour, bending all his efforts toward as- slduous practice for the big prize of them all, the open, training carefully and consclentiously over Burning Tree, Congressional and Indian Spring, all the while developing mastery of | the shots which later won him the title, Not that he didn’t have them hefore, but that fine edge that carried him through to victory came in the friendly matches played over the local courses. And Tommy went up to Oak- mont, where he shot a 70 in practic and then proceeded to hlast out a 71 in the second round, the round that really won the championship for him. There were those who said Tommy was lucky, lucky to sink the putt on the seventy-second green that placed him in the tie with Cooper. They couldn’t have seen him play the tenth and twelfth on that last round, when his great heart almost cracked under a 6 and a 7 on holes that rate 4 and 5 according to the card. Nor could they have seen that bewildering exhibition in a bunker at the twelfth, nor the putt that followed when a 4-footer missed by a whisker and a ghastly 7 fol- lowed, apparently blowing Tommy's chance sky-high. All they saw was that putt’ on the last green, that volled true as a die to the back of the cup and lobbed graceful over the edge, Tommy didn't go into several of the tournaments that followed the open. He played at Shawnee, three V' Oakmont, but his heart s work. It was back on wept hills of the gr golt course in the country, wi carved out a niche in champlong for the Armour name. And a few days ago Tommy went up to Toronto. He was up there, run- | ning with the front runners until the | | last round, when he necded a valiant | effort. And it came, forever putting | an end to the doubts that may have | existed among the skeptics after his | Oakmont victory. The remarkable | thing about the Canadian open was | not that he won, but the manner in | | which he did it, for where the others ed and skidded, falling out on | hole of the first nine, Tommy | played flawless golf to win, bursting | through with a 70 over the last round | to nose out' MacDonald Smith and young Bill Burke. Toronto answered Oakmont and never again can there be doubt as to the finest professional | golfer of ‘192 | Tommy was three shots back at the | opening of that fourth round at To. ronto, 218 to 215 for Al Watrous, in | z0od position, but not the best in the world. His last round has heen de. | scribed as one of the finest rounds of | golf ever played in America, inspired golf of the kind that Ha Vardon | and Bob Jones have displaved and that Tommy Armour, newly arrived at the crest of his game, is just begin- ning to show. Only Putting Was Faulty. His tee shots were booming, lengthy affaj raight a8 a string from tee to mid-fairway, his iron shots impec- cable. The only flaw that could be found was In his putting, for he took three putts on two greens during the round. Three eagles fell his way over that last round, the second, at tne thirteenth, virtually putting the erown within his grasp and sewing up the championship for him. And he gathered | in another eagle at the lonz six- | teenth, scoring a 3 on this par 5 hole, | thereby putting the title in the hag. | He took 1t the seventeenth, and | needed a 4 at the eighteenth to win. There never was any double of it from the time he hit his last drive until the putt clinked in the hottom of the tin. Never before in the long history of the game has any one won the Am TODAY BASE BALL,:N AMERICAN LEAGUE PARK Washington vs. New York TICKETS ON SALF AT PARK AT 9:00 of For Every Car We Save You From $3.00 to $8.00 A Set Brake ‘gl;gcialistn Brake Service Oniy 25 Years' Experienc Dod:z T Hudson Daand, Oakland. 4 20-Minute Service Complete, $4.80 Ford Bands (Genuine) 15-Minute Service Complete, $1.60 All Other ('i n .\(_ Correspondingly Ficen While You Wait 1-Year Guarautee on All Wheel Brake ining g Frfir' Inspection Ambler Athesi 7 30 p.m. oy AUTO BRARE SERVicE AND FORD BAND CO. 425 K St. N.W.
