- 32 Fewer Golfers Than Usual to Try for American Open Championship This Year STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE OHLY 700 ENTERED FORTITLE TOURNEY Entries Close Tonight and List Not Expected to Be Over 1,000. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, May 21.—Barring a Iast-minute avalanche of en- tries, the American open golf championship will draw less than a thousand entries this year. 2 With closing time for entries set for 6 o'clock tonight, the United States Golf Association announces that only about 700 have signified their intention of competing and sent along the $5 entrance fees. Under revised rules, amateur entries are restricted to players with a handicap of three strokes or less, so that the U. 8. G. A. does not expect the entry list to come within striking distance of the 1,064 who par- tic/pated last year in the qualifying roand. Some 200 last-minute entries e expected. Qualifying play for the open, set for the Winged Foot Club June 27-28-29, is to be held June 10, over 19 courses in every section of the United States. Practically every leading professional and amateur golfer in the country is entered, but there have been no British challenges. WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER.

The American contingent of Walter Hagen, British open champion; Joe Turnesa, winner of the 1,000 guineas tournament; Horton Smith, Fred Wat- rous and Johnny Farrell, expected to find plenty of opposition from the Eng- lishmen, Henry Cotton, George Dun- can, Arthur Havers, Abe Mitchell and the Boomer brothcrs; the Argentine, Jose Jurado, and the Frenchman, Ar- naud Massy.

TY COBB FINALLY FALLS VICTIM TO GOLF FEVER AUGUSTA, Ga, May 21 (®).—Ty Cobb, the Georgia peach, has turned to golf—and is watting 1.000. Old Man Par, however, is still his master, but Ty has retained his bat- ting eye and never “misses” the ball. During more than a score of years'| as a star in the major leagues, Cobb declined to turn to the al and an- clent pastime, because he believed that it interfered with his batting stance. Since his retirement, however, he has played regularly here. HOW CAN YOUR SUIT FIT UNLESS MADE FOR YOU? FDWARD CLOTHES « Made for You™ PHILADELPHIA . . . NEW YORK ... WASHINGTON . ..

Shanks wants to go through the handicap list and make a complete revision of the handicaps. For this reason he has caused the trenchant notice quoted above to be posted as a warning to members that they must turn in score cards under penalty of having their handicaps revised with- out a reasonable scoring basis to go on. ‘The Senlors’ Golf Association is a EN.

In reality it pretty much takes care of itself. Jim Barnes starts his backswing by pushing the club back from his left shoulder with a straight left arm. Naturally, as the arms go back the left shoulder must come around and with it the left hip. The left knee must give in, too. One’s weight shifts to the right leg. If one is careful to keep the head from swaying when doing this he's bound to pivot if he catches the shifting weight on a firm right leg to prevent swaying. the downswing the opposite place. As the straight left arm pulls the club down and around the weight shifts back on the left leg.

Just now two tourneys are in progress. One of them the seniors’ kickers’ tournament, which started Inst Saturday and will end next Saturday. Members may choose their own handicaps in this event. Members of the association also are competing in a single club event, in which they may choose any club in the bag to play around, but must play all their shots with the one club. This event will close May 30. Results in the second round of the competition for the Perkins plate are: Charles V. Wheeler defeated R. H. Jack- son, 3 and 2; W. G. Brantl , de- feated H. L.

Page Hufty of the Congressional Country Club, winner last year of the Indian Spring Golf Club’s Spring tour- nament, and recently victorious in the Town and Country Club event, again has entered in the golf war which started on the Indian Spring front to- day. Hufty’s entry did not come to the golf committee until late yesterday, while at the same time Miller B. Stevin- son, District golf champion, announced that he would not be able to play because of business matters, More than 100 golf- ers were scheduled to start today over the long Indian Spring course, consider- ably slowed up by the heavy rain of yes- terday and last night, and certain_to bring high rather than low scores. In- dian Spring is difficult enough under favorable scoring conditions, but when it is wet and slow it is one of the hard- est courses about Wi n on which to score. The fleld to start in the two-day qualifying test pumbers more than 250 and is the largest in the short history of club invitation tournaments. ‘Woman golfers of the Chevy Chase Club were favored today with better weather in the first round of match play for the French High Commission Cup than greeted their qualifying ef- forts yesterday, when Mrs, L. O. Cam- eron topped the field, with a card of 97. The medal round was .Ell}'ed through a rain which shot the scores up toward the century mark. Mrs. A. 8. Merrill was second in the medal round, with 98, while Susan Hacker placed third, with 99, and Mrs. J. F. Dryden and Mrs. F. R. Keefer tled for fourth place, with 100. Today's pairings follow: Mrs. L.

Fred Byrne, who heads the Bannock- burn golf committee, with infinite pa- tience finally has unscrambled the scores in the “hard hat” tournament played last Sunday. Out of the jumble it was found that Dr. H. L. Weer was the only competitor to get all the letters on the holes where they belonged to spell the two words “hard hat.” About a dozen players got all but one of the letters. Byrne adds that many of the contestants showed they had the letters “Ha Ha,” but Bill Pendergast, also a member of the golf committee, who chose the holes on which the letters were to be played, says the laughs were not intended for him.
