C TUE}SDIY, JULY 23, 1929 SPORTS. 27 British Athletes Are Sore Over Poor Showing in Two Meets With Americans REGRET INABILITY 70 00 THEIR BEST Social Activities Made It Difficult for Invaders to Gain Top Form. Prophecy in a BY O. B. KEELER, For the Associated Press. ‘There is indubitably such a thing as prescience or_prophecy in golf. Again and again I have been watch- ing intently a player in whom I was much interested about to make a putt, and I have known with a curi- ous flash of absolute certainty thi he was going to hole it—or, at times, that he was going to miss it. Once I saw Bobby Jones stand- ing up to a putt of one foot in a qualifying round of the amateur na- tional championship—at Flossmoor in 1923—and I knew perfectly well he was going to blow it. He did. ‘The stroke he lost there put him in a tie for the medal with Chick Evans. And once, standing with Frank King, Associated Press reporter, be- side the enormous green that con- tains both the fifth and thirteenth holes at St. Andrew's, I watched ‘Watts Gunn addressing the ball for a putt of 120 feet, and suddenly I said to Frank: “He'll can this one!”, And he did. Frank nearly fainted. And I felt queerly enough. But I knew he was going to hole that putt, some way. This story comes up from New Orleans, where the 1929 Woman's Southern championship was played. Margaret Maddox of Atlanta was the sole entry from that city in the championship division, and she had battled through the first four rounds into the finals, at 36 holes, with Mrs. David Gaut of Memphis, a veteran golfer who had won that championship three times. It looked much as if she were going to make it four, in the morn- ing round, when she was 4 up at the turn, and 6 up at the twelfth hole. Miss Maddox fought on courageously and got back a couple of holes by the intermission. Still, she was 4 down. and as the after- noon round started, so did the rain. This was by no means expected to aid the less experienced competitor. Championship Dyight N. Burn P39S woH BALTIMORE EVENT GETSD. C.

Lewis (Bes y_(Marylan An Essay on Golf BY I K. ATHERTON. Golf is a high-brow game in which a player endeavors to entice a runty ball into a series of holes without losing his temper. Some- times the player wins, but more often the evasive sphere carries off the honors. A icipant in a game of golf walks further for a few swipes at a hunk of guttapercha than an addict to the weed that cheers would for a fag. In fact, the game would have far more devotees if a player could make the round of the course.in a rock- ing chair and have a pinch-hitter to jolly the ball along. Golf is some- thing more than a game of exercise, for a would-be adept at the game must first apply himself studiously for six months in learning the ver- nacular of the Scottish pastime. If successful in this he then mortgages his home in order to procure the necessary togs and balls as well as an array of clubs that rival in num- ber the bats carried by a profes- sional base ball team. After that nothing remains but to assign his income or for membership and dues in a country club with a burr in its name and learn how to swing at the ball with- out tearing up the greens. Golf has its etiquette which must be strictly observed if one can hope to hobnob with the elite, For instance, it is as much of an unpardonable sin to have an im- proper stance, whatever that is, when preparing to lam the ball as it is to attempt to derrick peas to one’s mouth on a knife. The session at the nineteenth hole was probably the most enjoyable of the whole course until Mr. Vol- stead put padlocks on the kissers of the addicts to ginger ale and crushed ice. - e MEET AT FORT MYER NAVY PLEBE CLASS HAS SPORTS STARS Prep and High Schools and| 23.—A NNAPOLIS, Md., Jul{ of a Enlisted Ranks Fruitful Sources for Teams. preliminary survey tion of the plebe class entered the Naval Academy this Summer indicates that its physical average is high and that it contains much promising athletic material. The average of weight, height and strength appears to be a little higher than any class that has entered the Naval Academy for some time. There are not more than two or three members of the class who have had any athletic experience in college ranks, but a large number have played on prepara- tory or high school teams in one or more lines of sport. “The new material for foot ball, base ball, lacrosse, basket ball, boxing and rowing is particularly good. A very few have had practical experience in crew rowing, but there are a number of | youths who are well qualified physically for the sport. So far only two youths who have | played on varsity teams have been noted. B. E. Wigging, a well-built youth of 170 pounds, played an end on the eleven of the University of New Hampshire and also won his letter in basket ball. J. R. Reedy, 190 pounds. was a foot ball lineman, basket, ball player and weight m Baldwin- Wallace College. Bk | Rival Davis Cup Netmen Settle Down to Practice PARIS, July 23 (#)—With the line-ups of the rival teams settled, the American and French tennis players settled down today to com- plete their training and strategy for the Davis Cup challenge round, starting this Frida; Two daily periods for use of the courts at Roland Garros Stadium have been set aside for the Ameri- cans, Big Bili Tilden, George lott, Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn. Their daily sessions are at 10 a.m. to noon, 3 t0 5 p.m. The draw for the singles will be held Thursday morning at 11:30.

Leo Erck was a back on the freshman team of the Uni- versity of Nebraska. William R. Kane played end and took art in other sports on the team of an . Rafael High, and L. F.

Any or al of these men may be depended upon to erack 80 or come very close to crack- | ing 80 any time they start. This sort | of golf is quite good enough to win in most_circles of the niblick brigade | around the midatlantic sector.

Woman golfers of the city were play- ing today in a miniature tournament of the Women's District Golf Association at the Beaver Dam Country Club. ‘The professionals, who have been re- galed with tales of the splendid golf to be afforded at the Annapolis Roads Golf Club, are looking forward to the amateur-pro event to be played over this picturesque course next Monday, as guests of the new club on the shores of Chespeake Bay. Many of them want to take a crack at the record of 74 held by Walter F. Hall, the club pro, and the nine-hole record of 34 made by Glenn S. Spencer, the Maryland Country Club siege gun. The event will be much the same as the tourney held yeésterday at In- dian sErl.ny. which was won by Roger Peacock, amateur, and George Diffen- baugh, the pint-sized Indian Spring professional, who carved out a form- | fitting best ball of 66 to lead a fine field | of professionals and amateurs.

But he defeats many seemingly superior golfers by rea- son of his- accuracy with the long irons, the shots played with the No. 3 iron and on up the scale. * George's method is sound and . perhaps easier to pattern after than the two discussed in the immediate- ly preceding articles. Briefly, his stance is open and he plays the ball well forward, about off his left heel, apparently so far forward that it lies beyond the low point of the arc of his swing. It's a left” arm shot entirely, the clubhead being thrown straight through the ball and on out toward the hole.
