S. Girl Plays Exceptional Golf, Though Beaten by Joyce Wethered, 3-1. BY ROBERT E. HARLOW. (Manager of the Ryder Cup Team.) ST. ANDREWS, Scotiand, May 18.— There are two grcat woman golfers in the world—not one, but two. America’s champion, Glenna Collett, carried Joyce Wethered to the thirty- fifth green in the final of the British women's champlonship yesterday. The final score was 3 and 1. Miss Wethered demonstrated here yesterday that she is the best woman golfer, but not by any such press agented mergin as our friends over here would have us believe. Miss Col- leit played so many handicaps yester- day that the batile she gave Miss Wethered was nothing short of aston- ishing, and Miss Collett might very well have walked off the victor. It was & very close thing. The game was not a surprise to me I have seen Miss Collett play such a lot of good golf that I was certain no matter how great a player her adver- sary might be that after all the figures must count. I have scen Miss Collett produce figures that just cannot iclassed and I therefore thought if could produce her best golf yester- day she would at least make a gre: the ‘“superwoman.™ She did.

May 18 —Commenting on Joyce Wethered's_victory over Glenna Collett in_the British women's golf championship, London's newspapers today expressed gratification over the fact that Great Britain was able to hold at least cne of its sports cham- pionships, but tempered that observa- tion with recognition that the margin beiween the two woman golfers was extremely small. : All of them paid tribute to the Amer- ican champion, “who fought with great cl?;:lrlgo, determination and outstanding Miss Collett'’s 34 for the first nine holes was commented upon as astound- ing and it was observed that no wom- an piayer here except Miss Wethered could have withstood such an attack. “Our champion probably never had to meet a more serlous challenge,” com- “Miss Wethered has like a new Joan of Arc and repelled the invader, who threatened to deprive us of one of the few championships we_still retain.” ‘The Daily News said that Miss Col- Iett's case was one of the rare ones about which the phrase, “moral vic- tory.” can fitly be applied. “She was beaten, but deserved to win. paper sald, adding facetiously with reference to Walter Hagen's vic the cpen that it probably wa: for America’s spiritual weifare that Miss Wethered's golf proved in the end to be just a little too good.” 1t also was remarked that the match revealed how little now separates of the most finished pigskin artists in the country, | hubitions, with the hope of & clean sweep | women's golfing skill from men's.

This should be a good meet, if not & very close one. There are several competitors entered who might turn in noteworthy performances. Max Schmeling having decided to train at Lakewood, the ballyhoo should soon be in full swing. What sounds like the first clear notes of the call to customers is heard in the story that if Schmeling wins his Autumn opponent will be Jack Dempsey. There are only two things which might interfere with this plan. Max just might not beat Paulino, and if he did Dempsey might refuse to take the part of the fall guy. It is doubtful whether Dempsey could get into con- dition for a fight by Fall or, for that matter, by Spring. And I doubt whether he has any real intention of trying to do so. * (Copyright, 1829, by Nortn American Newse “paver-Allienes) Each time he took his pen in| Rod am'l Stream By Perry Miller. | Local anglers using the Potomac for | their fishing outings have good pros- | pects for clear water tomorrow and next | | week.

If this program goes through, the United States will _meet either Cuba or Mexico in the final bracket.

The young Americans, Van Ryn, who has had no previous experience in | Davis Cup play, and Hennessey, an| internationlist of but one year's stand- ing. gave evidence in the three matches that brought victory over Canads that they can be expected to sweep through their other American zone opponents and move on to European competition. BY WALTER HAGEN, British Open Golf. Champion. LONDON, England, May 18.—The ending of the thousand guineas tourna- ment at Moortown today will be an Anglo-American match. In the morning yesterday Joe Turnesa defated J. J. Taylor in the third round, 5 and 4. and the Briton, Charles Whit- combe. beat Leo Diegel, 2 and 1. In the afternoon, Turnesa defeated Charles Whitcombe, earning the right to play in the final with Herbert Jolly, who won from W. H. Davies. Turnesa played beautiful golf in both rounds. In the morning he went out in 33. By perfect iron play and putting he was soon 5 up. Taylor had no chance. In the afternoon match with Whitcombe, the Englishman led at the third, and the fourth was halved in 2s.

Bobby Jones, like Jim Barnes, Sarazen and ali long drivers, starts the club_down with a pull ‘of the straight left arm. Barnes compares this start of the downswing as just the opposite action lo that he em- ploys to start the backswing, That, as we recall, is begun by pushing back from the left shoulder. Thus, to start the downswing, he pulls with the left shoulder, bringing the club down until his hands are op- posite his right hip. At this point the right arm gets in the poke. Jones says that he begins employing the right, as near as he can figure, when the club reaches a point parallel to the fround. the position I have sketched m in. PFrom here on the right hits through and both arms go out on the line of the shot and after the ball, the right arm remaining straight. ‘That insures hitting on line and in adding the punch that ) .
