SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1929, SPORTS. Open Tourney Layout Is “He-Man Course” : Illness Helped Simpson to Greatness TO BE OVER 7,000 YARDS FOR CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT Scores of Traps Also Are Scattered About Rolling Surfaces of Winged Foot Links—Greens Are in Exceptional Condition. BY BRIAN BELL, Associated Press Sports Writer. AMARONECK, N. Y., June 19—The west course of the Winged Foot Golf Club, where the open championship of the United States will be decided next week, is affectionately de- scribed by club members as a “he man’s course.” The “he man” in question must have been a giant. No man of light tonnage was the model for this rugged layout, stretching yard upon yard through the forests of Westchester Given its final grooming for the blue-ribbon event of golf the course will | measure more than 7,000 yards. In its normal alignment it boasts 6,697 yards, with the tape meas- ure stretched from the front of the big tees to the front of the greens. For the supreme tests, the tee markers will be set far back. The canny pros and star amateurs playing practice rounds daily in prep- aration for their baptism of sand next week ignore the markers, now resting comfortably near the front, and drive from the extreme rear, 8 sharp chip shot from the marker: Winged Foot is hard but fair. are scores and scores of traps scattered | about its rolling surface to make the | unwary pay for their carelessness. But no bed of sand is unfair. The perfectly | Rit shots will not find trouble. | The greens are as near perfection 85 putting surfaces can be made. The ball rolls straight and true if properly | hit and in the majority of cases next week those that should go in will do HAGEN S IN FORM CAPTAIN, FoLo CAprTAI TACKLE ON Just that. Rain Would Help. A good rain will prove helpful. A week before the big chance comes to the game's best. the fairways are hard and the ball gets more roll than is possible under normal playing con- ditions. In tuning-up rounds yesterday, Bobby Jones, Johnny Farrell, Mac Smith, Gene Sarazen and Charley Hall, the long driving pro from Birmingham, were getting great distance from the tee. A soaking rain will make the game different, just as the wind changes tactics without warning on the course The course has four one-shotters, two on each side. Two will call for a gpoon from a majority of the players, for under the championship conditions, they will be more than 225 yards. The other two will be reached with a No. 4 iren. The thirteenth, a long iron or ghort wood, has a trap to the right, iving an impression that the Sahara ;)esen has changed its base. The five par holes, four of them also equally divided between the two nines, are back breakers. Two will be more than 500 yards and two in the neighborhood of 460. The long hitters who to send their second shots on these well trapped greens will deserve the birdies that will be their reward.

OLUMBUS, Ohio, June 19— George Sidney Simpson, Ohio State’s dark-haired flash of the cinder patch, was almost an invalid and under a nurse's care for several years when a youngster. Today he’s the greatest track star his school has known, and he may become one of the world's, matching records with Paddock, Locke, Borah and other famous sprinters. fleet feet. He realized the worth of | exercise in the fresh air for his sick boy, and bought George every kind of athletic apparatus he could find—base ball equipment. tennis racquets, golf c;luba. basket balls—and e him use them.

He had just fin- ished one of the weekly rounds of golf, | which constitute about the only diver- |slon by way of sport a hard-working police chief has. And unfortunately— or fortunately, psrhaps—he had chosen one of the warmest of early Sum- mer in which to play. His score was | 83 over the difficult layout of the Wash- | ington Golf and Country Club, the first | time he had broken 85. His partners | were Col. Ed_ Starling of the White | House Secret Service staff and C. Mel- | vin_Sharpe, assistant to the president |of the Washington Railway & Electric | Co.

And now Maj. Pratt is looking for more worlds to conquer. We don't know whether he knows it or not, but there is one man on the force who might lick him. That is Policeman Salkeld, who used to be a member of the bootleg posse that laid in wait nightly at the District line for the gents who bring in “cawn” in little quart jars. Balkeld hasn't had much time for golf since he joined the police force, but he used to burn up the old Colum- bia course in the days when Columbia was over on Georgia avenue. On his days off he sometimes goes down_to East Potomac Park for a game. But perhaps he never did as well as the major.
