SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. €. WEDNESDAY, JUNE SPORTS. Evans Can’t See Successor to Jones as Amaleurs’ THINKS VOIGT MAY GIVE PROS BATTLE FOR WHILE Paid Performers’ Year-Round Competitive Golf Who’s Who in the Op: BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICK EVANS, the grand golfer from Chicago, believes that Too Much of an Advantage for Amateurs to Overcome in National Open. within a few years our professional stars will dominate the national open championship to a greater degree than any time since Francis Ouimet rocked the bunkered world with ilnifagreac victory over Harry Vardon and Ted Ray at Brookline in In Evans’ opinion, there is no amateur player in sight to succeed Bobby Jones as a threat against the professionals, since the Georgian elects to leave the open battle grounds behind. The amateurs have had their share of suc- cesses in the open since Ouimet blazed the trail, and Evans, Jerry Travers and Jones all have had a | hand t shutting out the professional brigade. In 15 open championships the amateurs have won | five times, which is a splendid record. Jones may win several more opens before retir- ing, for some of his best years are before him. But when Bob quits Evans sees a return of the old days, when an amateur considered it a waste of time to enter the open championship. “Professionals are playing too much competitive | golf for the average amateur to hope for victory against them,” said Chick. “In the old days a pro- fessional was held closely to his club, and played in only a few championships per year, but now the crack players are in competition the year around. They have an obvious advantage over all save the amateur of real wealth and leisure, and should gain a tight hold on the open. Horton Smith is only one of the young professionals playing splendid golf, and the number will increasc each year. Voigt May Fight ’Em. “Of course, some new amateur star may come along to succeed Jones, and even George Voigt might give the pros a battle for a few years; but I doubt if the am- ateurs will fare as well for many years as they have since 1913.” Evans related to the writer how he| never entered an open championship until 1914, although he had been com- peting in the amateur for several years prior to that. “I did not think I had a chance,” he declared. “As a matter of fact, I was CHIC KEVANS. the ball he was using. He won at Mini- kahds in 1916, and later took the ama- teur at Merion. His dual victory that year is one record Bob Jones never has been able to equal. He was the first amateur in the open from 1919 to 1921, and since Jones came to the front has consistently been the second best. Chick was the first amateur ever to win_an _important open champlonship in the United States. He captured the Western open in 1910, and still is the only amateur ever to win in that event, which annually attracts a star field.| Chick has played little or no golf since last Autumn, but intends putting in some_hard work on the fairways dur- ing the next two weeks in an effort to attune his game for the qualifying test en. —By Feg Murray WHO WON “THE FRENCH OPEN_CHAMPIONSHIP WITH_ROUNDS OF 66-66 “70-71, AND THEN PLACED 3ECMOND IN THE GermaN OPEN WrTH A SCORE OF 267, Metropoliuan Newspaper Scrvice Let's take up the case of young Horton Smith first of all in consid- ering some of the outstanding con- testants for the United States open championship, to be played for at the Winged Foot Golf Club, Mamaro- neck, N. Y., June 27 to 29. When this youthful star does a thing he does it right—witness his triumph in the French open on his twenty-first birthday, after shooting two record rounds of 66 the day before! Nine- teen twenty-nine seems to bea_Smith year (just as 1928 was a Hoover year), and ever since Horton started out by beating Walter Hagen in the Catalina open two days before Christmas, he has won tournament after tournament and become, with- out any doubt, the sensation of the down East in 1913, just a short time before Ouimet won at Brookline. I had beaten PFrancis and Jerry Travers on medal play at Garden City, but did not enter the open. I could not have won, anyhow, for Ouimet's victory over Var- don and Ray was the greatest feat in American golf. But it just shows you the feeling amateurs once had relative to the open.” Chick will attempt to qualify for the approaching open at Winged Foot, and if ‘successful will be one of the real veterans in the field. He broke in one year after Hagen, and Mike Brady will be the only contestant to antedate those two—if Michael qualifies. Chick Has Bright Record. ‘Evans has a splendid record in the open championships. After finishing second in 1914 he set a course record at Baltusrol on the first round of the 1915 battle and then slumped, due to at Olympia Fields. Evans still is one of the greatest short-iron players in the game and one of the sport’s most popular figures. He has played in more open championships than any other amateur, and in more amateurs than any other player with the exception of Bill Fownes. And the golfing world wants him to play in many more. ‘The open at Winged Foot probably will be purely a domestic affair. The latest bulletin issued by the U. 8. G. A. shows no entries from Great Britain, and unless some of the British pros elect to come over at the last moment the championship will lack an interna- tional flavor for the first time since 1920, when Ted Ray captured the title at Invernes. But with Jones, Horton Smith, Hagen and the rest of our home- breds in the battle it will not lack for interest and sensational playing. (Copyright, 1929.) Interdepartmental Golf Crown Shipley’s After 3-Year Effort HREE years of stru?gle to win the individual golf championship of the Inter- departmental Golf League came to a successful conclusion for M. A. Shipley of the State De- artment yesterday. Traversing he tortuous, tree-lined fairways of the Manor Club in 75 and 76| for a 36-hole total of 161, Shipl&y| won the championship by a mar- gin of 10 strokes over his nearest | rivals. T. M. Belshe of the War Department and John R. Miller of the Treasury tled | for second place with scores of 161. Miller was the defending champion. ‘Two years ago, over the same course, Shipley tied with George Wadsworth | for the title, and lost on the play-off. Last year at Indian Spring he had a chance to win, but was nosed out by Miller. Yesterday he set a scorching | pace over the first round, getting back | over the last nine in 34 strokes and | getting over the first nine in the after- noon in 36 to sew up the title. Even though he came back in 40 he had too long a lead to sllow Miller to catch him. Treasury Wins Cup. Shipley's fine play could not win the Mellon team trophy for the State De- partment, however, for the more con- sistent play of the Treasury four-man | team annexed the cup donated by Sec- retary Mellon two years ago. Members of the winning team were John R. Miller, J. J. Lynch, J. F. Phelan and Claude B. Allen. They nosed out the State Department team by one stroke. The State Department team was made up of Shipley, E. P. Hair, J. I Keating and J. F. Simmons. The State team, however, won the low nct prize with & score of 596, with Patent Office second ‘with 604.

DARK HORSE TAKES TECH TENNIS TITLE| Esther Jolley, the “dark horse” of | the McKinley High School singles ten- | nis tournanient, romped home for a | spectacular victory yesterday, captur- ing the title with the loss of a single game in the crowning match in which she scored over Hilda Drach, 6—1, 6—0, on_the Henry Park courts. Previously Miss Jolley had scored im pressively over Katherine Wassma 1928 runner-up, in the semi-finals, while Miss Drach had eliminated Anita | Dunlap, defending champion. Miss | Jolley's victory was doubly significant, therefore, in that she defeated the con- queror of the titieholder, Miss Jolley’s het ability was unknown | to McKinleyites until this Spring, as she entered the school only last September, coming from Buffalo, where she had de- veloped & game characterized by un- | usual accuracy and speed, especially in | the back court, where her fleet footwork | made her easily superior over all of her ' competitors in the school event.

These are some of the winning clubs that the young Joplin pro will carry in his bag into the open champlonship. No. 1 is fine physi- cal condition, with the stamina to last the four burning rounds in the white heat of competition. No. 2 is his smooth, rhythmic swing, so im- portant to success in golf. The third is his wonderful golf temperament, practically no nerves, no habit of worrying when things go wrong. And the fourth is the fighting spirit, the Tove of conflict that goes with youth, as represented by young Horton Smith himself. Add to these the experience gained in the British, French and German opens, as well as in the Ryder Cup matches, and you have a golfer as well equipped ~mentally, physically, and technically as any player in the tournament.

EW YORK, June 5.—The brotherhood of the foot ball mighty, welded on frosty afternoons in the roars of packed stadta and the smashing play of grim, perspiring giants, can be just as spectacular and thrilling in ancther way in the Springtime. ‘Three years ago, two husky young- sters from New England moved in cn New York University with the size, speed and ability to set a new standard of tackle play on the hilltop of the rising violets. One was Al Lassman, a towering six-foot- four mammoth from Cambridge, Mass. The other was Leonard Grant, almost as big and just as_formidable, from Dedham, Mass.

They couldn’t save him, it was awful.” Doctors fought with the fever, but Grant was very ill and rapldly getting worse.

OUBLES entries in the Women’s District Tennis League champicnships will remain open until tomor- row, according to Aida Doyle, general chairman of tournament arrangements. Singles play was to get under way this afternoon with prelim- inary round matches scheduled at 3, 4 and 5 o'clock on the Henry Park courts, Seventh and B streets northwest. Phoebe Moorhead, Frances Walker, Josephine Dunham and Dorothy Kings- bury stand out as the favorites for the singles crown now worn by Frances Krucoff, who is out of the city. Among the four favorites there is little choice, each having at some time reached the title round in local events, but none of them having held this ttle. The league championships, which are closed, are not to be confused with the women's District net championships, which are open to all racketers in the Middle Atlantic section whether or not they be members of the league or resi- dents of Washington. Only league members are eligible for the present competition. The District net title will be _decided later in the season. The singles draw follows: UPPER BRACKET — Preliminary Mrs. G.

The Oakmont course, Hollebaugh says, is much more difficult this year than ever before because of course conditions. Wet weather prevailing most of the Spring has slowed up the tee shots and many_hanging lies are found on the famed Oakmont layout. Tee shots at the first tenth and eleventh, unless they are struck an unusual distance, all will leave the ball with a hanging le. In addition, Hollebaugh claims the putting greens have been clipped and Tolled until they are a razor blade keen- ness and have in them undulations hidden to the eye, but which the ball takes because of the keenness of the surface. Hollebaugh says he never has found Oakmont to be so tricky as it is this Spring and believes that a pair of 81s will be among the 12 men who will qualify there for the open championship. The Washington pros who will make the trip are J. M. Hunter of Indian Spring, Fred McLeod of Columbia, Alex A. Armour of Congressional, Bob Barnett and Gene Larking of Chevy Chase and Arthur B. Thorn of the Town and Country Club. Mel Shorey of East Potomac Park, Dave Thomson of Washington, A. L. Houghton of Harper, Walter Cunning- ham of Burning Tree and R. CUff Mc- Kimmie and Frank Hartig of Army, Navy and Marine will go to Richmond, where the sectional round will be played Monday over the course of the Hermit- age Golf Club. Over this course in 1924 McKimmie won the amateur champlon- ship of the Middle Atlantic Golf Asso- ciation. Houghton, Cunningham and Shorey are to play in an exhibition match at Hermitage Saturday afternoon, where Houghton played last week end and registered scores of 74, 73 and 67 Houghton and Cunningham will oppose Shorey and_Tom Galloway, the Her- mitage pro. Houghton claims the Wash- ington bent gras greens at Hermitage are the most difficult greens to gauge he ever has seen, and predicts that the three men who will qualify at Rich- mond will win their places through skill on the putting greens. Eight more Washington players en- tered yesterday in the championship tourney of the Middle Atlantic Golf As- | sociation, which will start tomorrow at Warren L. Heap and Wilson Barrett of Manor, Pat Cook and Charles Morrow of Indian Spring, R. W. Lewis and Lind- say S. Stott of Beaver Dam and A. Vachary and J. V. O'Connor of Indian Spring. Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase already | has left Washington. ~He is visiting | friends_today in Altoona, Pa., and will | be in Pittsburgh Saturday in time to practice over the Oakmont course over the week end. ‘Tony Penna, assistant professional and instructor at Congressional for the past two years, has definitely left the club. He has been replaced by Archie Clark, former caddle master, who will preside in the shop. Penna has gone back to New York and expects to go to Detroit to be with Tommy Armour. The former open champion now is in Detrolt, where he has become associated with the Tam O'Shanter Club of the automobile city, and Clark is busy these days packing up his golf paraphernalia for shipment to Detroit.

Tuckerman, Yesterday, in the second round of the 72-hole medal-play event, Fuller scored a 76 to take a three-stroke lad over John Britton, with whom he had tied at 80 over the first round.
