SAN FRANCISCO, December 15 (). —In order to set at rest persistent ru- mors and queries, Coach C. E.

By the Assoclated Press. SACRAMENTO, Calif., December 15. —With a record-smashing 66 for the day’s play behind him, Tommy Armour, 1927 national open champion, loomed & heavy favorite tonight to carry c® the Sacramento open golf tournament. Armour collected six birdies and an eagle for the 18 holes, dropping a stroke on the ninth and one on sixteenth. Coupled with yesterday’s 74, Armour enters tomorrow’s ‘36-hole finals with an edge of three strokes on John Golden of New Jersey, his nearest competitor, who in turn is. one stroke ahead of Eddle Loos of Pasadena. The round that saw Armour better the course record of 68, formerly held jointly by Abe Espinosa, Art Demaine and Frank Minch, local pros, also saw the partial collapse of Ed Gayer of Chicago and Horton Smith of Joplin, Mo., who turned in cards of 70 yester- day. Both took 77s today. Ed Loos stood tonight the lone even par golfer, his 74 today averaging with yesterday's 70, “wild" Bill” Mehlhorn, who turned in a disappointing 78 yesterday, came back today with a brilliant 70 to place him back in the running. William Goggin of San Francisco, who took a 73 yesterday, was in in 75 today u; tie with Mehlhorn at 148 for fifth place. The 64 low scorers will be paired in the finals tomorrow. D. C. PRO LINKSMEN DOWN AMATEUR PAIR ALEXANDRIA, Va. December 15— J. Monro Hunter and George Diffen- baugh, professional golfers attached to the Indian Spring Golf Club of Wash- ington, defeated Miller B. Stevinson and W. R. McCallum, Washington ama- teurs, by 3 and 2 in an 18-hole exhibi- tion match played today at the Belle Haven Country Club. One up at the end of the first nine holes, the professionals increased their advantage by winning the tenth hole when McCallum missed a five-footer for Hunter, who drove his usual lengthy tee shot during the match, then secured birdies on ‘the thirteenth and fourteenth to win both holes. Four down with five to play, the amateurs won the fifteenth when McCallum ran down a four- footer for a birdie 3, and appeared well on the way to win the sixteenth, where Hunter overplayed the green, and Dif- fenbaugh went into a trap. . i+ But Diffenbaugh chipped his ball out ; dead to the hole and neither Stevinson nor McCallum was able to hole the putt for a birdie 2. The match ended on the sixteenth in favor of the professionals. McCallum missed two short putts on the first nine, on the second and eighth holes. Hunter equaled the course record with a mark of 74, tieing the mark set by B. L. Howell iast Summer. His 34 for the second nine broke the record for the nine-hole course. ! The professionals had a best ball of 69, against 72 for the amateurs. — BRITISH EMPIRE GAMES AWARDED TO HAMILTON PORT ARTHUR, Ontario, December 15 (#)—The British Empire game: | which are scheduled to be held in Can- ada in August, 1930, have been awarded to Hamilton, Ontario, by a committee of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada, Hamilton will construct a. $100.000 swimming pool and a mile-and-half rowing course, underwrite the games egainst losses, and billet athletes. boxing, wrestling, rowing The program comprises track and field events, and & i s |on the carpe Gene Tunney, champion of the world,\§ sprawling from a series of Dempsey blows which reached their mark The picture was taken the instant Gene hit the resin, in the seventh Dempsey in the neutral corner, LTHOUGH the hole has not yet been placed In use, the pro- fessional and star amateurs of the Columbia Country Club agree that the new sixteenth hole recently finished by Greens Su- pervisor Fitts will be one of the .best short holes around .Washington. More than an ordinary plece .of en- | gineering work has been accomplished in reconstructing the sixteenth, which will be changed from a simple mashie shot to one requiring & good deal more ¢lub. Two new tees have been bulilt, one of them not far from the seven- teenth tee on the side of the hill over- looking the old tee. From this upper tee the shot is one of about 170 yards, while just below it and a few yards in front is another tee which makes the hole about 155 yards in length. The lower tee, on the flat near the fifteenth green, will be retained for the use of the short players and as an alternate. tee. A considerable change has been made in the green itself, where some of the contours have been ironed out and the shape of the green changed to meet the requirements of the new tees. For several years the green- Kkeeper at Columbia has found difficulty in placing & cup on the old green be- cause of the contours and the fact that the green backed out and lost its grass in hot weather. On the ‘whole. the new sixteenth should be one of the outstanding short holes around ‘Washington. The m of rebuilding the green at the fifth has likewise been completed The green has been enlarged, and the trap &t the right edge retained. More grief is in store for the men who over- play the en next year, for a new trap has been built at the left hand corner. Fred McLeod, the Columbia profes- sional, who cut his hand last Summer and was off his game during the elrlx Fall, has come back on his game wit a vengeance. In his last 10 rounds of the Columbla course Fred has been over 72 only twice, and one of the rounds was a. 69. A Cleveland paper has announced that Tommy Armour, professional at Congressional, will not be with the local club next year, 3 associated with ~ the Tam o'Shanter Club of Detroit, where- George von Elm is the top-ranking amateur, There has been no announcement at Congressional where officials, deprecate publicity re- garding the chance that Armour may not be with the club next year. Just before he left Washington for the West, in October, Armour said he was negotiating with a club in Detroit, although he added that he was satisfied with the situation at Congressional. He made no further announcement than that he is in touch with the Detroit club. Meanwhile, in case Tommy leaves Congressional, many friends of brother Alex have placed his name in the forefront of candidates for the post. ‘Alex Armour, better known as “‘Sandy,” has been the mainstay of the Con- gressional instruction staff for several years and is very popular at the club. He turned professional in 1924, when Tommy Armour was forced into the professional ranks. Sandy has an in- door golf school of his own in New York, where he works during the Win- ter months. Much activity is in evidence on these Winter days, when outdoor golf cannot be d, among the members of the links fraternity, who gather at the Mil- 1ler-Walker School on Pennsylvania ave- nue to discuss golf affairs and to putt ts at the school. Two matches were held at the school last week, involving Beaver Dam and Ban- nockburn and a team made up of putt- ers selected from those who play at the school.

This move will be made shortly, it is understood, and will give the Alexandris club a course the equal of any around sector of the country. ‘The present nine holes are sufficient- ly diversified to make an extremely interesting layout.

Dickey, one of the members of this mateh, who plays almost every day, rain or shine, is looking forward to the time when the water in the hasard front of the eleventh green will freeze and he can walk out on the ice to play a ball that does not carry the zard. Last Winter he .played one from the ice and holed it. 3 Out in the Middle West, where Pres: idents hall from, and good hrol(en grow as thick as the gophers which dig cute little holes to hide golf balls in, & sys- tem of managing golf tournaments is in vog"gg v;‘tzm: i-ght weumbe given some thought by men who manage the golf events around Washington. The system has been in use around Chicago for many years and has proved ideal in so far as succ manage- ment of club invitation tournaments is concerned. In effect, it amounts to selection of a riod of the tournament, a paid man who does little else du the golf season but travel the rounds o! the tournaments and manage the invi- tation affairs. Some years ago we re- call watching genial- Toma ndelow, then associated with a nat sporting goods house, manage t| naments around Chicago to the satis- faction of the members and guests alike.

If the dig- ging of these worms were restricted to & comparatively few, it is small wonder that the anglers of Washington paid ap- proximately 3 cents aplece for them. Now that any and all persons are per- mitted to dig for these worms it is to be hoj that the angling fraternity next Summer can obtain them at a greatly reduced figure. Fish nomenclature is in a woefully chaotic state. Local names of even the most common species vary to such an extent that the result is very confusing. Outdoor writers have taken a hand in the solution of the difficulty. Action was taken at a recent meeting of the Outdoor Writers’ Assoclation of America intending ‘to standardize the names of the most.common of the sporting fishes. In the articles and storles of these writers' the term “musky” will be used to designate that king of fresh-water fishes known variously as muskellunge, maskinonge, muskalunge, muskallonge and S0 on ad infinitum. “tetm “wall-eye” will be used to name the pike-perch, which is called a pike, pickerel, dore, Susquehanna sal- mon, ete, depending upon the locality.

There are many other fish in our section of the country that are called by various names. should be known under one name.

The team entrained for the Pacific Coast tonight, but will take several workouts en route. The squad, chosen and coached hy Dick Hanley of Northwestern and Andy Kerr of Was] n and Jefferson, went through a light drill dummy tackling and rudimentary for- mations, Intricate formations will be attempted * by the Eastern eleven. Coaches Hanley and Kerr sald they would rely on straight line plays mixed with a passing game to carry the East to victory. Composed of 9 Western Conference players, 6 of whom captained their teams during the 1928 season, two play- ers from Nebraska and 11 of the East’ best, the squad ranks as one of the greatest collections of foot ball talent ever assembled as one team. Only two of the stars originally se- lected for the Eastern team did not answer the roll call today.
