SPORTS.” Professionals Outnumber Amateur Golfers, 7 to 1, in National 0pen Tourney | Wonaer ‘What a 100-yard Dash Record Breaker Thinks About. —By BRIGGS l : ALL EXCEPTING 18 ARE PAID PLAYERS ‘Simonpures, With Jones and Others, Shou'l Be Very Much in Running. NEW YORK, June 14 (#).—The amateurs will be outnumbered more than seven to one when play in the national open golf championship begins at the Winged Foot Club at Mamaro- neck, N. Y., on June 27, but there is no disposition to count them out be- cause of that. The field numbers 153, only 18 of them amateurs, but in that dozen and a half are Bobby Jones, George von Eim and Harrison R. (Jimmy) Johnston. That trio ought to give the best of the fleld & run for its money even with all the country's greatest professionals ready for the battle. X There will be the usual foreign flavor at Winged Foot, but it will be so slight as to be almost non-existent. Canada has two entrants in C. Ross Somerville, London, Ontario, amateur, and James Johnston of Toronto. €uba is sending John Wyland, a pro, and Scotland Jack ‘White, another pro. Pairings for the first two rounds of the championship find Ira L. Couch, Lake Forest, Tll, amateur, and Kean Donnely, Phiimont, Pa, pro. booked to start the procession on Thursday. 27, the first day of the tourna- ment. They will leave the tee at 8:30 a1h. and will be followed at five-minute intervals until J. E. Rogers of Denver drives off a 2:50 pm. On Friday the field will be reversed, those leaving in the morning on the first day being given a vacation until the afternoon on the second. Among the notables Johnny Farrell, the defending champion, has been paired with Willie Kidd, Minneapolis; Bobby, Jones with Emmett French, Southern Pines, N. C.; Von Elm with John Bernadi, Newton Centre, Mass.; Horton Smith, Joplin, Mo., with Jess Stuttle, Kansas City; Walter Hagen with Louis Chiapetta, Hartford, Conn., and Gene Sarazen with Jack Cummins, Cleveland, Ohio. After the first two rounds the field is to be reduced to the low 60 scores and ties and pairings will be re-arranged for the final day's play.

DOUBLE EAGLE Cross Section Fas 110100 Mid-WaShington Service Co., Inc. D.” €. 'FRIDAY JUNE 14, 1929.° golf about Washington ~has there been such scoring as was shown yesterday and Wednes- day in the qualifying round of the Columbia Country Club tourna- ment. Columbia is a very hard golf course and one on which any score under 80 is a good score. Yet more than two dozen tournament contestants broke the 80 mark, and there was a tie at 77 for the last four places in the first flight - The scoring combination came about because of fairly slow putting greens and unusually fast fairways. This com- bination made of a great golf course a r one, and one which looked at times ke the short course in West Potomac Park as Washington’s leading golfers knocked the ball unbelieveable dis- tances' and literally burned up the course. If the scoring which started on Wednesday is continued today and to- morrow in the match play rounds, it would not be at all surprising to see 70 shattered by one or more of the players who shot so well in the medal round. The first round of the tourney today found Robert L. Finkenstadt, for- mer District golf champion, paired against Harry G. Pitt, who only last week was dethroned as Midatlantic amateur king. Columbia had four play- ers in the first flight, two of them get- utng_’ln a play-off of the nine-man tie at 77, Hunter Misses Chance. Early predictions that J. Monro Hunter, long-hitting son of the Indian Spring professional, nearly came true yesterday as the lad came to the six- teenth hole needing only par for a score of 71, which would have won the quali- Tn‘ round by a_stroke. But his tee shot at this short hole was pushed, and when he got on the green he took three putts. Three more putts followed at the eighteenth, and he was 74. At that time Charles W. Cole, jr., of Indian Spring was leading with 'a card of 73, but late in the afternoon Harry Pitt came up to the eighteenth green and left himself an 8-foot putt. Carefully sighting the line he knocked the ball in without a variation from the straight lngnm the back of the cup, for a score of 72. Probably greenkeeper Fitts and his advisers at Columbia will never again permit the tee plates to be on the front of the tees another tournament qualifying round, granted the ground is as hard as it was yesterday. And quite possibly they will let the greens be cut a little closer to make them a little trickier. In any event it seems a shame to spoll a great golf course by making it so easy that ordinary golfers can go on Fenders Cores in Stock 1809 14th North 7177 Iso_319_13th, % Block ANOTHER PACKARD USED CAR AUCTION Monday Evening, 8 P.M.

Evans of Wash- ington came up to the eighteenth need- ing a 40-foot putt for a score of 77, which seemed at that time to be safely in, with the probability that the 78s would gl.ly-ofl for the first flight. Henry D. Nicholson, a clubmate, stood above the green. “Knock it in, Chick,” he “You may need it.” And Evans calmly knocked it in. As it turned out he did need it, and he won a place in the first flight in the play-off. Frank Roesch of Washington was the goat of that nine-man play-off, for Roesch obligingly missed a putt of less than two feet for a 4, which prevented five men playing another hole. Those who won on the play-off were: Albert R. MacKenzie of Columbia, Thomas Aycock of Jacksonville, Fla, who is captain of the Yale University golf team; Thomas P. Bones, jr., of Colum- bia and Evans. Several scores of 85 were drawn out of the fifth flight, making more definite the fact that the scoring in the Colum- bia tourney qualifying round is the lowest that has even been seen about Washington. Chairman (George W. McCarter of the Indian Spring golf committee has announced the following golf schedule for the Indian Spring Club for the'next three weeks. June 15 and 16—Match play against par, 18 holes. June 22 and 23—Medal play handicap event, 18 holes. June 29 and 30—Blind bogey tourna- ment. July 4—Miniature tournament.
