DIFFICULTTO TELL IFCYRILIS JOKING Conjecture - Whether British Star Will Take “Shooting iok?” Stick” to Del Monte. N up right now so that when Cyril Tolley sits down between shots in the National Amateur at Del Monte. next month .golf enthusiasts will .have made up their minds about the British amateur thlmrlnn'l strange behavior on the basis of facts here- . with submitted. Know, then, that in the British ama- teur Tolley, in addition to loading his caddy with golf clubs, made him carry also a shooting stick, one of those con- traptions so popular in England, and becoming so here, which-open at the top, forming a seat not large but suffi- ciently capacious for all practical sit- ting purposes. With a pointed ferule, which is stuck into the ground. the seat is secure and is used by British gunners while waiting at the coverts. ‘ But -sitting down in golf! Does Mr. Tolley realize the impression he may give of a game reputed to be virile? Some apologists for the unconventional Cycil say that he took along a fleld stick in order to register as impressive and colorful a protest as possible against slow play, which has always irritated him extremely and so affected his play. There is a story that last year in one of the championships when, after an hour or so of standing on one foot and then the other while his partner made ready to shoot, he at length, in a dramatic manner, which the late Henry Irving could not have rendered more effective, sagged against the dilatory player, threw his arms around him, then sank slowly to the ground mur- muring, “Shoot! For the love of heaven, shoot ! So it may well be, as some say, that the pulling of the shooting stick stuff was merely a tour de force and will not be applied on the pebble beach course. But if it was merely intended as a silent protest, how about other golfers in the British amateur, some of whom not only carrie| field sticks but actually went. so far as to laden their caddies with camp chairs. Surely this would imply not a protest but the onset of a new fashion. Armchairs may come next, or. as an indignant English com- mentator says, elephants fitted with howdahs may be the next step. ‘While he men may lament over what has been termed “this creeping paraly- sis” which seems to be settling down upon British championships, there may be no question that the idea, if car- ried into this country, will prove a boon to elderly golfers who find some 3 miles of walking over hill and dale quite tire- some and woud find an opportunity to sit down between strokes not only pleas- ant but actually conducive to health and so to the lengthening of vears in which they may pursue the game, g, ALEXANDRIA POLICE T0 VISIT RICHMOND ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 6.—Law- rence Padgett's Alexandria Police De- partment. tossers will go to Richmond, Va..

And speaking of birds, Maureen Yeropolitan Newspaper Service Orcu:t, [amous girl golfer of New Jersey, once beheaded a feathered friend with a hard-driven golf ball from the second tee at the Blue Hills course, Orangeville, N.

Playing over the Premier Mine course in Septem- ber, 1913, Ed Sladward socked his native club carrier over the eye, but the ball merely made a slight bruise on the caddy's forehead. The ball rebounded back toward the tee, a distance of 75 yards by actual measurement. STRAIGHT 'OFF THE TEE 8.

Columbia has another great hitter who 1is following the footsteps of his daddy as a golfer who knocks the ball about as far into the great open spaces as it is_humanly possible to knock it. The golfer is Everett Eynon, son of E. B. Eynon, jr., secretary of the Wash- ington ball club, and himself a great hitter, For many years “Ed” Eynon was known as one of the longest hit- ters of a golf ball around the Capital, and now it appears his scn is to follow in his footsteps. Everett Eynon, who used to be a roommate of Roland MacKenzie at Brown University, played wiih the Walker Cup team star last Sunday at Columbia and outdistanced the long- hitting MacKenzie on 11 of the 14 holes where a lengthy tee shot is needed. Perhaps Roland was attempting to knock them straight down the middle, but usually he combines extreme dis- tance with considerable accuracy. In any event, he was outranged from the tee on a majority of the holes by the young scion of the Eynon family. Everett's longest wallop came on the eighteenth, where he planted 160 e feature story.

T Players From 21 States Are Contesting in Event at St. Louis. BY PAUL R. MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. FOREST PARK, St. Louis, August 6. —The Dick Whittingtons of American other for their exclusive golfing title, the national public links championship, over the difficult and treacherous Forest Park municipal course. It was easily the largest, most repre- sentative and most picturesque field in th® history of the 8-year-old tourna- ment, one which is open only to those who do not play the royal and ancient game on private courses, largely because | of lack of funds. Some came on trains. many of them hitch-hiked and some of them walked many a mile to get a whack at the title. They ranged in age from 15 years and up. The first objective of the large field | was to qualify. Two 18-hole matches, one scheduled for today and the second for tomorrow, were on the program, and the 32 low-medal scorers will fight it out. Two match-play rounds of 18 holes each will be decided Thursday and Friday, with a 36-hole final on Sat- urday. Carl F. Kaufmann, a Pittsburgh clerk, third straight year and a big favorite to repeat. Except for a few who land high year after year his opposition was vir- tually unknown, as 101 of the entrants were competing for the crown for the first time. That fact and the treach- erous condition of the championship course, lent an upset complexion to the tournament from the start. Not in three weeks has the course received suf- ficient rainfall, and as a result the fair- ways and greens were lightning fast, and a golfer had to rely on a rolling, iron game. Those shotmakers whose game is centered on pitching were forced to abandon their style, they said, as the pellet refused to stick on the carpet. At its best, the course is a tough life any- way. There are water holes on eight fairways, and all but one fairway is lined by trees. Par is 74 and the dis- tance is 6,260 yards. One interesting phase of the tourna- ment was the possibility of an all- Japanese final. Two Japanese golfers of great ability are entered—Togo Hama- moto of St. Louis, champion of the For- est Park course, and A. G. Sato of San Francisco, who has beaten Old Man Par many times this year. Hamamoto, a j butler by trade, shot the course in 74 yesterday in his final practice round, and the only other entrant to duplicate it was Frank Brokl of St. Paul, ama- teur champion. Frank Aylward, Kansas City medal champion: Boby Held of St. Louis, brother of Eddle Held; Gus Fets, Chi- ©oago; Gordon Denney, Kentucky State amateur champion, and Charles Ferrera. of San Prancisco were other outstanding favorites. e FATHER AND SON PLAYING IN PUBLIC LINKS EVENT ST.

By the Assoclated Press. N, N.

Shepherd-Barron, British veteran, won the singles cup by defeating Marjorle Gladman of Santa Monica, Callf., No. 7 in the national ranking, 6—2, 7—5, the United States received even more satisfaction from the smash- '!lx victory of Helen Wills and Miss th Cross of San Francisco, in the doubles final. , In trouncing their English ponents, Betty Nuthall and Mrs. Phoebe Watson, by the one-sided scores of 6—3, 6—0 in a match which lasted only 30 minutes, Miss Wills and Miss Cross appeared to have found themselves after playing comparatively mediocre tennis as a doubles combina- tion abroad this Summer. Never did Miss Wills look more im- pressive, in singles or in doubles. Although sharing the courts with three of the finest players of her sex in the entire world, she dominated the play and a good share of the rallies were terminated by placements from her whirling racquet. In service she was irresistible, scoring six aces in the five games she served. Many times it seemed as though a male star were on the court with three girl companions, s0 mightily did Queen Helen hammer the ball.

HE stald old Chevy Chase Club has been so used to unusual happenings on its golf course that it takes an occurrence very much out of the ordinary cause polite eyebrows to lift in surprise. Just the other day the golfiing devotees of the club were agreeably surprised when their sorrel-thatched professional —Bob tt—knocked precedent gal- ley west by getting around the golf course in 64 strokes—five better than par. Incidentally, that score was made in the perfect manner. That is, Bar- nett reached every green in the cus- tomary number of strokes, with the ex- ception of the ninth, where his tee shot overran the putting surface and he chipped back to secure his par. But old Chevy Chase has just been the scene of another unusual happening, which resulted fortunately for the hit- ter of the golf ball and a bit less fortu- nately for a caddie. It happened at the fourth hole, a one- shot affair of about 160 yards, which the good golfers play with a mashie or medium iron, and the less skilled gentry are glad to reach with a full wooden club shot. Down at the left side of the fairway, just short of a ditch which runs in front of the green and makes a very unpleasant hazard, were grouped the caddies of the match in which Dr. Mitchell, Dr. R. C. Ransdell and another unnamed golfer were playing. Dr. Mitchell hit a shot that wasn't s0 good. It was rather poor, in fact, and the good medico looked for it to come to an abrupt and untimely end in the ditch. He yelled “Fore” in loud and stentorian tones as the ball veered sharply toward the group of caddies. Keep Right Hand Close to Left in Grip BY SOL METZGER. It was Abe Mitchell who best de- scribed to me the way one should place his right hand over the left in gripping the leather for a long iron or any other full shot. “Pull it up tight over the left hand,” he sald, “like a new glove ts."” ‘The main reason for the introduc- tion of the overlapping and inter- locking grips to golf was to insure tying the hands together on the club 1MP055IBLE GRP~ AVOID 17~ 700 MUCH LERS THUMB SHOWING — HANDS CAN'T WORK IN ( 50 they will work as one.

It is the first District title ever won by Miss Dunham, one of the youag comers in local .net ranks, and Miss Krucoff's first doubles title in several years. Speed and steadiness were the two factors contributing most fo the chal- lengers’ victory. Misses Moorhead and Walker, usually as dependable as old Gibraltar itself, were uncertain quan- tities yesterday. Neither played with her usual brilliance at the net, nor did their shots from the base line have their usual sting. The Krucoff-Dun- ham pair, on the other hand, were sending them across with considerable pace. “The first set was a walk-away for the winners, who gained four games before Misses Moorhead and Walker broke through to score. Things were more ever. in the second brace, and at one stage Misses Moor- head and Walker held ret point, This was when they were leading at 5-4, A netted ball from Miss racket, followed by two placeme: from across the net, sent their hope: glimmering, however.
