EW YORK, June 18.—Glenna Collett’s great opportunity of | winning the one prize, whi grasp—the British women'’; Joyce Wethered, the girl who stood in Miss Collett's way, an | sable barrier last Spring at St. Andrews after a three years'| e from tournament gclf, says definitely that she does not| The reéerence. as will bedrecgign?e%. is to | e Wethered, who has attained an eminence and a distinction in | &%yx;:n's golf equal to that which Bobby Jones holds among men and | impas: absenc choose to compete again ch to date she has been unable to s open—will come next year. For which young Tom Morris and Harry Vardon used to hold. Those who marked the conditions which prevailed on the way | to the fourteenth hole at St. Andrews when Miss Wethered and Miss | Collett were fighting it out in the final of the ladies’ open will not | be surprised at the decision of the English girl whose amiable nature | and peaceful instincts were sorely tried, as they always have been, by the unruly behavior of the six or seven thousand spectators, by the delays in every shot while the marshals tried to herd the rampant gallery into at least a semblance_ It may be recalled that when Miss | Wethered drove for the fourteenth green she had a lead of three holes. When finally she holed out that a vantage had been reduced to two, de-: spite the fact it had taken the Amer- ican girl seven strokes to negotiate a par 4 route. Miss Wethered had taken 8. So wild-eyed was the gallery at this functure, s0 completely out of hand, that neither girl could aim in the line of the pin because of the great risk of hitting some one. Reasons for Action. Joyce accepted the situation just as her American rival did, with outward equanimity, and went on to victory. But those who knew her did not doubt that the excitement, the confusion, the intensity of this championship event served to confirm in the girl's mind an utter distaste for it all, especially as she had three years of peace in which | sh. had played the game for the fun | of the thing. If anything further were needed it came recently when the champion went out one evening to play a quiet nine holes with her father. ‘Instead of the tranquil interlude which the girl had counted upon, several hundred spec- | tators were trailing her before the pair had done three holes. She is not the :ort of champion who likes this, or, in fact, will tolerate it, while at the same time, knowing that nothing can be done about it so long as she is in the limelight as not only a champion, but a champion of cham- pions. ‘The cure, of course, is not to be a champion, to retire to that obscurity which is so grateful to certain natures, there to play or not to play as she sees fit and in playing to do so under con- ditions which meet her desires. So this is what Joyce Wethered will do. Her place in international golf is se- cure. To date_there has been no wom- an golfer like her. She stands alone. Girls Much Alike. And yet Glenna Collett as her play in the St. Andrew’s tournament showed, is close to the English girl not only in technique, but in sportsmanship, fight- ing spirit and feminine charm. Her triumph would be hailed in England as here were she to succeed Miss ‘Wethered. Perhaps had Miss Wethered ever played in a tournament in this country she might have a better feeling about championship events. Certainly, so far as the writer's experience of national meets in this country goes, the effi- the stewards ' has been y the consideration and poise of the galleries. TEN G. W. U.

HAGEN SEES JONES AS PROS" NEMESIS Again Will Be_ Paid Players Against Bobby in Open, Walter Declares. BY WALTER HAGEN. British Open Golf Champion. HERE seems no check in the steady increase in the interest in golf. Since the United States Ryder Cup team returned from Europe, Horton Smith and I have been doing a little touring. And in my eight years of barnstorming I have never seen more enthusiasm than in the cities where we have appeared— Toledo, Detroit, Buffalo and Grand Rapids. We are playing every day and getting in shape for the American open cham- pionship at Winged Foot. Our sched- ule calls for a few more exhibitions and for participation in the New York State open just before the American open. This year's National open will be a big show as far as the public is con- cerned. I understand the United States Golf Association expects all attendance records to be broken. For the golfers the event presents an- other golden opportunity for fame and considerable wealth. While the money value of the open has been badly ex- aggerated by many writers, there is no doubt the title is worth from $20,000 to $50,000 for the 12 months, after it is won. The figure depends largely on the type of player who wins. Once more it will be the professionals against Bobby Jones. I have no idea how much Bobby has been playing, or how seriously he is taking it this year. But I assume that as long as he has en- tered he intends to get as fit as his law business will permit, and that as usual, when the event swings into the closing , the Atlantan will be in there pitching. Next year will be a Walker Cup year. The American amateurs again will go to Europe and I feel certain that until Jones has made this 1930 tour and taken another good crack at the British amateur championship, he will not per- mit his game to lose its championship qualities. I expect Bobby to arrive at Winged Foot with as much stuff on the ball as he has ever had.

Fort Benning and 3rd Cavalry will fight it out tomorrow on the Potomac Park fleld for the championship of the invitation polo tournament conducted by the War Department Polo Assocla- tion. As a result of a stirring 10-to-8 vic- tory over the War Whites, the 16th Field Artillary team today is the intra- circult champion. The Whites were spotted one goal and put up a deter- mined argument all the way, but never were quite as strong as the Artillerymen. Lieuts, McClure and Benson led the winners in sooring, McClure with four goals and Benson with three. Maj. Parker contributed a couple and Capt. Marist one. i Maj. Chaffee was the big shot of the Whites. Four times he drove the ball home. The Whites' three other mark- ers were made by Maj. Hoyle. Two goals in the first chukker and one in the second were scored by the Artillerymen before their own goal was violated. From there on the issue was seldom in doubt. | PHOEBE MOORHEAD WINS TENNIS TITLE Phoebe Moorhead is receiving the glad | hand today for one of the most sensa- | tional finishes recorded in women's tennis here, by which she defeated Josephine Dunham for the champion- ship of the Women's District Tennis League, 6—4, 3—6, 6—4. After being at a 4—1 disadvantage in the final set, Moorhead rallied bravely and swept five straight games. It was a brilliantly contested match, with Miss Moorhead's greater speed being perhaps the deciding factor. Mary Ryan defeated Mrs. Mary Poppe, 2—6, 6—4, 6—2, in the quarter- final of the consolations, upper bracket, and today was to meet Elsie Jansen in the semi-finals. In the doubles Miss Moorhead was to pair with Miss Fran- ces Walker against Dr. Elizabeth Chick- ering and Mrs. Ruth Martinez. CRUICKSHANK FAMILY NEW YORK, June 18 (). —Robert Allan Cruickshank, better known as “Bobby"” professional golfer, and Helen Cruickshank. his wife, are to become American cifizens. They have received first papers. Cruickshank was born in Grantown- on-Spey, Scotland, in 1894, and Mrs. Cruickshank in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1895. They live in Portchester, N. Y., and have one child, Elsie, who ‘was born in November, 1920, in Scotland.

Sandy Armour, elder brother and mentor unto Tommy Armour, 1927 national open champion, came in from one of the rounds in the 1929 North and South open champion- | ship at Pinehurst, with Wee Freddie McLeod, with whom he was paired. Sandy had a tale to unfold. Fred- die, never on the loquacious side, seemed wanting in interest. Sandy, Thowever, unfolded. “Did you ever see & really great golfer and a fine putter take two putts from less than a quarter of an_inch of the hole?” he inquired. I bad not. “Do you mind the seventh hole of the No. 2 course—the neat little one-shotter of about 166 yards? Well, man, Freddie here just missed the green and chipped on well ORCED by pressure of play to take immediate steps to cut down congestion on busy golf days, the golf committee of the Bannockburn Golf Club notified the members that after June 22 they will not be able to play in two- ball or three-ball matches on Sat- urday afternoons and Sunday morn- ings and will have to play in four-ball matches on those days when the course is crowded. So popular have the Saturday and Sunday events become at Bannockburn | that course congestion has increased to the point where something had to done to lessen congestion, and | Chairman J. Fred Byrne and his fel- low members of the golf committee took this means to speed up play. Byrne declares that Bannockburn now has more golfers using the course than ever before and that interest in club_events is increasing every week. He has arranged an attractive series of events for the golfing members of the club, which will run through the Summer and Fall. A. L. Houghton, Harper Country Club professional, and Walter W. Cun- ningham of Burning Tree are at Shawnee to play in the open event which starts today. Cunningham was paired today with Alex Morrison, famous trick-shot artist of the stage, and T. McWalters. Houghton was to glny with Harry Cooper and Roland cock. In practice Cunningham had a 75 yesterday and Houghton regis- tered a 72. The tourney is a three. day affair 72 holes. Rear Admiral W. H. Standley is the winner of the Perkins plate, the trophy put up by the president of the Seniors’ Golf Association of the Chevy Chase Club for the first big event of the season. Standley defeated Charles V. Wheeler 1 up in the final round, con- | ceding his opponent five strokes in the final round. The fourth round of the competition for the Morven Thompson memorial cup finds the following seniors opposed: Rear Admiral C. B. McVay vs. P, S. Ridsdale or A. V. Cushman; Gen. D. C. Shanks vs. Admiral R. H. Jackson; Ad- miral Standley vs. Whitman Cross; E. M. Talcott drew a bye. ‘With the competition for the Haynes cup arranged as the first of the series, a schedule for women goifers of the Congressional Country Club has been arranged by the tournament committee. The Haynes cup event will be concluded in September with one 18-hole medal play round each month. On September 18-21, inclusive, the annual women's championship event will be played. The women will qualify in flights of eight. On October 3 the Haynes cup handicap evenla will be concluded with a special round. Entries for the Spring invitation tourney of the Congressional Country Club, which is the last big Spring tour- ney in the immediate vicinity of Wash- ington, will close with the golf com- mittee of the club at 6 o'clock Saturday night. The tourney will start Tuesday, June 25, and run through Friday, June be played. The tournament commit- tee is composed of the following mem- bers of the club: Guy Mason, chair- man; Dr. Bruce L. Taylor, Page Hufty, Whitney Leary, Dr. Howard L. Strine and Alex Armour. George Diffenbaugh_and_J. Monro Hunter, the famed Indian Spring duo, 1 have at last been beaten. But the lick- |ing came at the hands of members of { their own club and was done with the !aid of a handicap. Hunter and Diffen- baugh gave J. Monro Hunter, jr., and J. W. Harvey 4 up in a match and were licked on the last green, even though the senior Hunter registered 68 for the round. He was out in 33 and was back in 35. Diffenbaugh helped him on one hole on the last nine, giving them a best ball for that nine of 34. | ‘That women’s golf around Washing- iton is very decidedly on the upgrade and may be expected soon to become as | fast as it is in other centers of the game was the conclusion drawn from the qualifying round of the Women's IDlslrmL Golf Association championship | yesterday at Columbia. Last year, it will be recalled, scores of 109 qualified for the first flight, but yesterday, play- | ing over the course on which the open champlonship was held eight years ago, four women broke 90 and only one | score of 100 made the championship | division. | Mrs. J. Marvin Haynes of Columbia, medalist in the tourney, with a card | of 84, met Mrs. Perry B.

Man, it was so close that part of the bail was over the edge; it was peeking down into the hole. I never saw a ball as close to the hole before in all my life without being in it. “So Freddie sneaks up to the ball careful-like, hoping it will get dizzy and fall in before he has to hit it. But the ball stays up. So Freddie taps at it—and hits it. Right on the top. Right on the paint. I think the paint was all he hit. And the ball never moves. 2 “And Freddie had to back off and hit it again. And that was a 5 on the hole, and two putts from inside a quarter of an inch.” McLeod wore an expression of ex- treme sorrow and marked mortifi- cation. But he entered no protest. So I know the tale is true. started with a2 7 on the first hole, where she cracked out a tee shot within easy distance of the green and then proceeded to make a closer acquaintance with traps. An 8 on the fifteenth hole ruined her chance of leading the field. Mrs. Haynes' card of 84 was 2 over women'’s par for the course and is the best mark ever recorded by a woman in competition at Columbia. Mrs. Betty Parker Meckley of Beaver Dam, with 87, and Mrs. L. O. Cameron of Chevy | Chase were the other women to shat- ter 90. Mrs. William S. Corby, presi- dent of the women's golf organization; Mrs. H. A. Knox of Congressional and Mrs. H. R. Quinter of Columbia tied at 100 for one place in the championship | flight. Mrs. Quinter dropped out of the play-off on the second extra hole and Mrs. Knox won her place on the fourth hole. In all, 46 women turned in cards, furnishing enough players for one flight of 16 and four flights of 8, with 2 byes in the last flight. Only occasionally in other years has a woman broken 90 in the qualifying round of ‘the women's District cham- plonship. To find four contestants shattering the 90 mark is unusual and shows that women’s golf about Wash- ington is improving. The course, with the exception of use of the front tees, | is the same as that on which the men played & big tournament last week. DARTMOUTH NINE BEATS PENN FOR LEAGUE LEAD HANOVER, N.

Gem Safety Razor Corporation, Brooklyn, N. Y. SENSATIONAL MILE ISRUNBY LERMOND Makes Second Fastest Time in America by Doing Distance in 4:13. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, June 18.—Leo Ler- mond, husky fiyer from the| { Boston A. A., had to his credit | | today the second fastest out- | | door mile ever run in this| | country. Lermond, who only & year ago was the best of America’s crop of two-milers, clearly demonstrated his right to head the list of present-day milers in this country when he turned in a 4:13 per- formance for the 8 furlongs in a benefit | track and field meet at the Yankee | stadium last night. Lermond’s time was the fastest any | American has done the mile since 1915, when Norman Taber of Brown reeled off the distance in 4:123-5 at Cam- bridge, Mass. Taber’s time, incidentally, stood as a world record until Paavo Nurmi lowered it to 4:102-5, in 1923. ‘The Boston A. A. flyer had the ad- vantage last night of being pushed to the utmost by Gus Moore, young Negro cross-country star of the Brooklyn har- riers. Moore, who holds the national | cross-country title, led Lermond most of the way, but wilted in the final dash to the tape and finished some 30 yards | back of the Boston A. A. fiyer.” Joe Hickey of New York University, inter- collegiate A. A. A. A. mile champion, was third, and Wilbur C. Getz, Alfred | University, holder of the national col- | legiate A.'A. title, was fourth. | ‘The other feature of the benefit meet for New York's Public School Athletic League, the 100-yard invitation dash, provided a thrilling_ duel which saw Claude Bracey, Rice Institute speedboy, nose out Eddie Tolan, University of Michigan Negro, by inches, with Karl Wildermuth, Georgetown, 1. C. A. A. A. A. champion, third, and Reginald Bowen, University of Pitts- burgh, I. C. A. A. A. A. quarter-mile title-holder, fourth and last. Bracey, who finished second to George Simpson when the Ohio State ace flashed his sensational 92-5 century, was timed in 9 4-5 seconds. SPICER NOW CHOICE | IN DIXIE GOLF PLAY| NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 18 (#).— Emmet Spicer of Nashville, the only golfer to break a 70 in practice rounds over the difficult Belle Meade course, was favored to succeed Watts Gunn as the Southern amateur champion as some 120 of Dixie's foremost men of the game teed off today in the annual tour- | nament. Gunn did not defend his title. As if to bear out the pre-tournament predictions, Spicer, who is holder of the Tennessee State title and one of the finest stylists in Dixie, threw fear into the ranks of rival sharpshooters yes- terday by executing a 69, one under par, while most of the other threats were struggling to turn in scores between 73 and 76. He is sure to get plenty of stiff com- petition, however, from Lewis Jacobi, the Dallas veteran; Charles Bridwell, three-time Arkansas champion: Wes Casper, the Kentucky titleholder, as well as from several youngsters who are making a bid for recognition. Among these latter are Scott Hudson | of Atlanta, who turned in a neat 73 in & warm-up round yesterday; Will Gunn, kid brother of the missing champion; Alan Smith, former Carolinas cham- pion, and Berrien Moore, another At- lanta prospect.

The combination of the magnetic fighting ability of the one and the shrewd manipulation of the other brought about the era' of big “gates” and million-dollar purses. H Yet Rickard, the “master mind, with assets almost astounding in their scarity, leaving an estate understood not to have exceeded $50,000 in cash value. And Dempsey, 10 years after being crowned heavyweight champion and after grossing nearly $3,000,000 in purses, finds himself ready to discuss a return to the ring, chiefly for money. ‘Where has it all gone? It would take a platoon of auditors to check up the Dempsey-Rickard-Kearns financial dealings. They were fabu- lous while they lasted. But the money vanished as quickly as it came. In the old days of partnership with Kearns, Dempsey split 50-50. Even when he separated from Kearns, it is doubtful whether Dempsey ever came off with more than half his earnings Herd’s Tip Keeps Your Head Down BY SOL METZGER. Much has been written lately of an old golf fact that has helped star players ever since snapshots of them have been possible, and probably be- fore that time, to keep the head down. Sandy Herd long ago took his stance with his head cocked to the right, as Jones and Hagen are here sketched. And when you take this very desirable position with your head be sure to pull your chin in and hold it there. You may appear like an old rooster looking for a morsel of food on the ground, but you will be al- most as certain of hitting the ball with your head down—the way one should—as is the cock of the walk of pecking the grain with his bill, once it is sighted. Keeping the chin in and head cocked in a comfortable position aids tremendously in anchoring this member throughout the swing. It also makes you focus your atten- tion on the inside rear of the ball— the spot you wish to make contact as your club goes through. Note how Jones keeps his head that way even after contact. There is one other point about golf that helps n‘nfhm' the head. See the next ar- ticle. Blazing the Sports Trail BY ALAN J.

He was talking of his aims and prospects while in Florida. That amount would treble or quad- ruple in a year involving a fight for Dempsey. The handlers, the hangers- on, the “old pals”—all need money and get it. Dempsey, many of his friends believe, has been a “sucker” for any- body with a hard-luck story. He and his entourage always stop at the best | hotels. Every step of the way means | money. “I've got property, but it's tied up. I would like to get into the promo- tion stuff on a steady basis, but I can’t afford to go along easy and build up a business. I must cash in on the big racket while I can.” That was why Dempsey declined an offer to associate himself with the Madison Square Garden million- aires for less than $100,000 a year, and it is why he said recently: “1 won't fight again for less than a million.” There is talk of the “million” and a fight at Tijuana, staged by Jim Cof- froth, famous before Rickard as a pro- moter of big fights in the Far West. It won’t be so easy now as it seemed | a few years ago to smoke up a “gate” big enough to pay the main actor $1,- 000,000, although Dempsey is the one figure who might attract it. The financial high tide that Demp- sey and Tunney rode from Philadelphia to Chicago has ebbed. There is no champlon around whom to build the “big shot.” Dempsey has slipped a long way from the fistic “man-killer” of 1919 to 1823. And it will take more than resemblance to Dempsey to make so promising a newcomer as Max Schmeling the magnet for big money.

WEATHER RETARDS CREWS ON HUDSON Fleet for Collegiate Race Having Difficulty in Conditioning. 'S By the Associated Press. OUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 18. —The college rowing fleet, as- sembled here for the Intercol- legiate Rowing _ Association’s regatta next Monday, is having more than its usual trouble in getting into condition for the four-mile classic. Weather conditions have been such for the last two weeks that not one of the crews representing the nine col- leges entered in the regatta, has been able to row against time under satis- factory conditions. Wind and river conditions were against the oarsmen all last week. Yes- terday the Hudson was as smooth as a millpond, but the intense heat, with the mercury hovering at or above 90 degrees almost all day, forced the coaches to curtail all but easy work. Three of the varsities—Navy, Wis- consin and Washington—underwent some shuffiing yesterday. “Old P Glendon moved up Weshoper from No. 7 to bow in the Navy varsity, promoted Jung from the junior varsity to the varsity No. 7 oar and sent Pieczentkow- ski into the second-string shell. - Coach Mike Murphy, worrying & bit over Wisconsin’s defeat at the hands of ‘Washington last Friday, changed Wood- man from No. 3 to bow, sent Goodman to No. 3 and ousted Seres from the first- string_shell. at least temporl.rfl{‘.m Al Ulbrickson, coach _of Washington, was satisfied with the Bears except for the coxswain post.
