HARRY SHOOTS 71 ~ TOTAKE LAURELS Horton Smith Brilliant ! Exhibition, but He and Diegel Lose. in | BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. S might have been expected, Harry G. Pitt has gone out and broken another course record. On any. course but that of the Manor Club Harry might not have had the same incentive to do a bit of record-busting of his own, but it hardly would have been clubby to have the Manor Club record held by an outsider, even when that outsider appened to be the king pin of all the local amateurs—the popular Miller B. Btevinson of Columbia. On May 18 last “Stevie” played in an exhibition match at Manor with Harry Pitt as a partner, against Fred McLeod and Al Treder. The amateurs trimmed the pros, and in doing it Stev- + inson set a oourse record of 72. That mark stood 1 (! 2 few days ago when | Harry Pitt, probably Stevinson's most serfous rival for top ranking locally, stepped out, entirely unheralded, and uncorked a form-fitting 71, which set the former mid-Atlantic title holder up as the record holder for bis home club and thereby brought back to the Manor Club a temporarily tarnished record. Not that the 72 made by Stevinson ‘was a bit tarnished, for he made it in a rain, and on a day when the course | was very slow. But all clubs like to feel that their own men are best over their own course, and Manor, with a man like Harry Pitt, had a right to feel that something was a bit askew when another amateur held the record. 8o “Ooking Arry,” who now has be- come “Straight-driving Harry,” thanks | to the kind ministrations of C. I. Putnam of Columbia, now is the holder of the course record at Manor. He | did it with a 36 and a 35, and, may we add, with due humbleness, that 71 is | quite & score at Manor. The fellows | ‘who e played that first nine, with its tree-lined fairways, know it is, and . the last nine, even though it is wide open, is no man's cinch. Incidentally, Manor came near hav- ing to leave that title in Stevinson's hands. Harry Pitt went down to the old home of Ed Baxter in North Caro- lina last week and was thrown out of the boat while on a fishing trip. Bax- ter saild he had to struggle to get him back, because it was a hot day and Pitt liked the water so well. Horton Smith's first visit to Wash- | ington was a complete success. From | the time the tall, slim Missourian un- limbered his frame at the Indian Spring Club yesterday to the moment, Dave Shay put him on a New York| train early today the Joplin marvel | had a grand and glorious day. Probably the best part of the day to| him, and certainly to the 600-odd per- sons who saw him perform, was the sterling 71 he registered over the long and hard layout of the Indian Spring | Club yesterday, to outplay the other| three professionals, who teamed in an| exhibition match for the benefit of | Bobby McWatt, ailing Richmond pro- | fessional. Before the match started the four professionals had an under- standing that the contest was merely best ball affair, but Horton must not have heard their remarks, Anyhow, | he putted out on all the holes and acored 71 for the course, which is| exactly par. But notwithstanding the uncannily accurate and Jones.like golf of theine medalist. Missouri r_and French open title- holder he and his partner, Leo Diegel, were not good enough to win. They were trounced, and soundly trounced, by the best ball combination of J. Monro Hunter of Indian Spring and Glenn S. Spencer of the Maryland Country Club of Baltimore. Clicking like well oiled machinery, these two gargantuan hitters, for the first time in their acquaintanceship, went out ‘without the sole thought of one out- hitting the other, and with this thought firmly implanted they played inspired golf. If Hunter failed, Spencer was there. And if the Baltimore siege gun faltered, | his partner was in there, putting for the birdie or the par. The result was that they shot a best ball of 65 for the par 71 course, thereby encompassing something few people can claim to have done, and incidentally taking the measure of Smith and Diegel by 3 and 2. There was no doubt about the merit of the victory of Hunter and Spencer, even though many folks thought they couldn't do it. They teamed together admirably and on the whole they could not have played better best- ball game than they showed yesterday. Two Great Shots. Out of the medley of great golf shots, contributed by all of the quartet, and the outstanding steadiness of Horton Smith, two great shots stand out. One of them came from the mashie niblick of Monro Hunter and the other came from the well lofted spoon of Diegel. On the fourth hole Hunter had pushed his tee shot far to the right, behind one of those spruce trees that fringe the right side of the fairway. He had to get the ball up quickly and had to hold the green. So well did he play it that he laid it less than a foot from the hole. ‘The putt was conceded, and the first birdie of the match was scored. ‘That shot enabled Hunter and Spen- cer to go into & lead for the first time, a lead that was wiped out when Diegel nearly drove to the eighth green—: yards away—to win the hole with a birdie 3. They were square going to the ninth and they halved that and the tenth in par. But then Spencer, who had not figured in any holes with the exception of the first, second and sev- enth, decided it was about time to get in the game. A 25-foot putt rattled off his aluminum putter against the bottom of the tin for a birdie 3, and Hunter and Spencer were 1 up. From then on there was nothing to it but Hunter and Spencer. But before we pass on we must say & word about the prodigious tee shot Spencer uncorked on that eleventh hole. It measures 385 yards—and it wasn't measured with a rubber tape. Spencer hit a ball that finally stopped rolling 10 yards short of the trap in front of the green. That crack must have been 360 yards. Hunter got back of one at the seventh, knocking it 320 yards. Then Hunter holed a 20-footer for a half at the twelfth, and won the thirteenth with a bjrdie 3, putting the home-lads 2 up. The short fourteenth was halved in par 3s, and Spencer won the fifteenth with a birdie 4. That left the home defenders dormie 3 up, and they quickly closed the gap at the long sixteenth, where Spencer again rammed THE EVENING Smith Is Great Ainksman, But Strokes Tailormade Most of the members of the gal- lery at Indian Spring yesterday had not seen Horton Smith play before and were amazed by the smoothness and ease of his swing and by the precision of his putting stroke. The Missourl marvel stands more than six feet and has an extremely compact swing for such a tall man. His golf, however, is strictly tailor- made, for every move is studied and his swing has little of the freedom and dash that flavors the play of Bobby Jones. He is straight as a string from tee to green and is uncannily steady. Only once yesterday did he go over r—on the short sixth hole, where e pulled his iron tee-shot. But he made up for it by holing a birdie on the next hole. Thereafter he was around in perfect figures, playing the last 12 holes in exactly par— never over and never under. TOLLEY IS THREAT 10U 5. LINKSWEN International Final, Though, Is Unlikely in Amateur Title Tournament. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HILE there is no guessing what may happen the first week of September when the world's best amateur golfers begin the quest for Bhe United States champlonship at| Peeble Beach, Delmonte, Calif., there seems little likelihood of another inter- national finals such as occurred at| Braeburn last year when Bobby Jones | won his fourth claim to the title by ilo\l:dly trouncing Phil Perkins of Eng- and. In all the years the Americans have | been bidding for the British amateur | champlonship and the Britons have | been invading the States, there have been only five international finals, two here and three abroad. So the chances of any of the five British and two Ca- nadian players reaching the finals at Delmonte are very remote. ‘The first international finals of an | amateur champlonship occured in Eng- land in 1904 when Walter Travis of New York defeated Ted Blackwell at Sandwich. Seven years later, Harold Hilton came to America and captured the United States championship by winning from Fred Herreshoff in a 37-hole match at Apawamis. ‘Then after a lapse of nine years Cyril Tolley was victor over Bob Gardner in another 37-hole match at Muirfleld and in 1926 Jess Sweetser won the British champlonship by downing Alfred Simp- son on the same links. Strongest of Invaders. Cyril James Hastings: Tolley of the | Royal and Anclent, once again amateur | champlon of Great Britain, is to regarded.as the strongest foreign threat. ‘Tolley, who is one of the two players | to win the British amateur twice since the war, is no stranger in America. He | has made three previous excursions to this country, but never has had much success. He first came across in 1920, with Lord Charlie Hope and Roger Wethered, | but failed to qualify for the amateur. He came back with the British Walker Cup team in 1922 and qualified with a score of 148—four strokes behind After defeating F. C. Newton and George Aulbach, he was beaten by Rudy Knepper. It was at Brookline that Knepper won the nick- name of “The Lion Tamer” by defea ing both Tolley and Tony Torrance. At Merion Cricket Club in 1924 Tol- ley again failed to qualify. There is no amateur who hits a longer ball than the giant Englishman, | but on his previous visits to the United States his wildness around the greens prevented him from | upholding the reputation gained on his native fairways. Tolley is a color- ful golfer and is certain to be a great | gallery favorite on the Coast. Ameri- cans may have difficulty in putting him out of the battle. Edward Storey is another well known British player entered. He falled to qualify at Merion, but at Baltusrol he was eliminated in the second round by Francls Ouimet, after he had_disposed of Densmore Shute, and at Braeburn he downed Max Marston and then fell victim to Dr. O. F. Willing. Lord Charles Hope, Maj. Guy Colin Campbell and T. A. Bourne are among the lesser British stars and not deal can be expected of them at monte. Don Carrick and C. Somerville of Canada both are well known in the States and each has qualified once for the national amateur. But neither is the sort of golfer cal culated to give Jones, Von Elm, Sweet- ser and the other leaders much trouble. Auburn will play two of its foot ball games at Montgomery, Ala., this year and both on Friday nlghu. Birming- ham-Southern and Florida.

Famous Pure Food Exzpert STAR, WASHINGTON, . BY O. B. KEELER. (For the Associated Press.) I was telling Arthur Cuscaden a little story about concentration in golf. Sir Arthur is a pretty good golfer; but he is & much better trapshooter; that is his profession; and when he takes pains he can shoot with anybody. 1 was telling Sir Arthur of Bobby Jones’ match with Max Marston at Flossmoor in the second round of the national amateur championship of 1923. Bobby was shooting great | golf. He was 4 up on Max as they | stood on the .evensenlh tee of the morning round. He was think- | ing about nothing at all, which sometimes is known in golf as con- | centrating. There was a small wait | on the tee. And suddenly Bobby | heard somebody in the gallery say: “That kid has two 4's for s 68 and & course record. Bobby had forgot all about the card and what he was scoring. He was just shooting golf, one hole at a time. He got to thinking about his score; took a couple of 58 to finish: lost both holes to Marston, | and saw Max start a great rally in the afternoon round that ended in s Marstonian victory at the thirty- fifth green. “His concentration was broken,” | sald Cuscaden. “It's the same way staged at Indian Spring yesterday the | pros staged a long driving contest for | | amateur entrants. | | Harry G. Pitt of Manor, one of the| | big hitters among the local amateurs: | M. F. McCarthy of Beaver Dam a many others essayed a trial at the long hitting test, but all were put in_the shade when M.

Some years ago Sir Arthur com- pleted a shoot at the Atlanta Gun Club with a straight run, unfinished, of 375 targets. He went over to Charleston and broke 50 more straight. He then went to Norfolk and started in another shoot. He broke 25 straight at the first trap. He broke 25 straight at the second trap. He broke 25 straight at the third trap. He broke the first target at the fourth trap, Then the trap broke down. While it was being repaired Arthur and the rest of the squad stood around and talked. Then he overheard some man in the gallery say: “I was with that fellow in At- lanta and Charleston and I can't remember when he's missed a tar- get.” “Up to that moment,” said Arthur, “I wasn't thinking about a blamed thing, so far as I can re- member. 1 was busting targets.

Left Wrist Action On Backswing CLUB LIKE | |THiIS 1 BY SOL METZGER, | Dewey Longworth brings out some | interesting points about iron play. One of them concerns the action of the left wrist, the controlling wrist. in taking back the club. Now and then Dewey crashes through with & course record in the Middle cr r West, so what he does is well worth considering. As Longworth starts his long iron | back he begins breaking or turning | the left wrist, as shown 'n the illus- | tration. This tends to open ihe face of the iron. That, in turn, permits him to get its face under the ball as he swings the clubhead down and through. You see, he hits down and through the ball from the inside, and, as the sketch shows, he plays it off his left shoulder, where the impact is hard- est. This wrist action makes it cer- tain he'll cut through under the ball and thus get it far and high, with plenty of backspin.
