" Links Stars Fill $25,000 Tour THE GAMEST ACT OVER 100N NEET | AT AGUA CALIENTE Keen Competition Likely on| Course Rated Most Diffi- cult in West. | BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. GUA CALIENTE, Lower Cal-| ifornia, January 20.—On| the historic ground where| once Spanish conquistadors halted in their search for gold, more than a hundred of the coun- | try's picked golf exponents will| compete today over the Agua| Caliente course, urged on by an| unprecedented purse of $25,000. | The Nation’s high-ranking profes- | slonals, intermingled with a smattering | of prominent amateurs, yesterday swung | around the new par 71 course for the first time in an effort to solve its intricacies and peculfarities. | Few kept scores, preferring to| meander over the untried fairways, | testing them from all angles. Dick | Linares, Tucson, Ariz.. and Harold Long, | Denver, were the only-ones to report | par cards of 71, while a number, in-| cludiag Chet Beer, Bakersfield, Calif, and Fred Morrison, Los Angeles, shot 73s. Johnny Farrell St. Augustine, Fla., among others, hit the 73 mark. Course Quite Difficult. In the opinion of these and other Jeagers, the coursc Is the most difficult on the Pacific Coast. Al Espinosa, veteran Chicagoan, said it was the most difficult laycut he had struck in many a moon. He has a 74 to show for_his efforts. ‘The mystery of just who will be able 1o best master the course during th2 four days of 72-hole medal play was left tight in the grasp of the well trapped fairways. With only four par 3 holes 1t is certain that the tourney will devalop into a hard driving contest. Horton Smith, Joplin, Mo., whose youthful strokes have struck terror in the hearts of the contingent of veters professionals, has been most frequently | mentioned as a possible winner, due to | his consistent record during the Winter campaign, Shute Strong Contender. He is not without stern competition, however. Another young pro, Denny Shute of Columbus, Ohio, with his remarkable victorv in the Los Angeles $1,000 open as evidence of his prowess, also has been named as & possible repeater. ‘Among the veterans are Leo Diegel Jocal pro, and two times winner of the P. G. A title; “Wee Bobbie” Cruick- shank, former winner of the Los Angeles classic; Gene Sarazen, also a former open champion, from New Ycrk, and Walter Hagen, British open champion. Only those who shoot cards of 82 or better will survive the first day's round of 18 holes, whils the low 50 and ties will continue in the play during the final two cavs. Twenty prizes, ranging from $10.000 for first place, ,000 for s>cond, énwn to the $200 mark, will be awarded Thursday. Fred Mcleod, veteran Columbia Country Club professional, started in the tourney at 9:36 am., Pacific Coast time, which is 12:36 p.m. Washington time. He plaved with Leo Diegel, the homa club pro, and Al Espinosa of Chieago, who was runner-up to Bobby Jones for the national open champlon- ship last year.

From what he then told me, I think he is right. “I doubt if the average fan ever has really understood the situation Dempsey was in when Firpo hit him on the jaw with that feasful right-hand punch.” It wasn't merely the physical effects of the blow tit might have proved disastrous; there was psychology to be considered. “Jack was champion and if he had been an ordinary champion he would have been upset not alone by the shock to his pride in being knocked out of the ring, but by the thought of losing his title and the milions it was worth to It would have been entirely ex- cusable if he had lost his head com- pletely. “As a mater of fact Jack never once thought about his title and the gold and glory belonging to it.

Dr. D'Arcy Magee, president, in a short address thanked the members for their | hearty co-operation during the year 1929, and assured them that what had been’ accomplished was mainly through the untiring_efforts of each and every member of the organization. He pointed out that the membership had been doubled during that period and hoped the membership would reach a total of 300 or more in 1930, Hardly had the words of the president announcing the nomination of officers | been uttered when one of the members asked recognition and said he wanted ! to nominate a man who already had made a record in his chosen profession; |a man he considered a born leader and a diplomat, a combination hard to find. He said he was not in favor of chang- ing horses in midstream and it was with great pleasure that he nominated Dr. Magee to succeed himself for the year 1930. This nomination was imme- diately seconded and the vote Wwas unanimous. Perry Miller was elected vice president. Next came the nominations for the secretary, an office held for a long time by Bob Wilson. 1In recognition of his long and faithful services to the or- ganization he was nominated for an- other term and the nomination was immeditately moved closed and secé onded and Bob was swept into office. ‘The same I)mcedure took place when the office of F.

NE of the amusing things to come before the meeting, with regard to the ‘banquet, was the fact that while this organizaion is devoted to conserva- tion of fish and game none of the pro- posed menus included a fish course. One of the members expressed himself | very forcibly in favor of a fish course saying, “Who ever heard of a dinner given by an angling fraternity without a fish course. This is surely an over- sight. I want fish.” And fish he will have, as it was unanimously decided to add the fish course. But when an- | other member wanted to include whale meat cn the menu, a quick vote vetoed | his proposition. ! ISH have been used for almost every | purpose. First of all, as food, be- | cause scientists say that the more fish one eats the more active become the | brain cells. In other words, eat fish and grow smart. There there are many by-products from fish and fish scales. Many of the handsome hand-mirrors on milady's dresser are made from | | highly polished scales. Now comes a | report that women may soon be wear- | ing shoes made from skins of cod and other fish, if experiments made by a Scottish_fishery board are successful. It has been shown possible to trans- form such skins into excellent leather by the application of alum. At pres- ent the manufacturing process is costly, the reports continue, but it is hoped that by using some of the cheaper by- products of seaweed as a substitute for alum, the process may become cheap enough to make fishskin leather prac- ticable.

Again I had no luck. As a result of all this fooling around, this switching back and forth, I finally evolved a method that was a composite of Maguire's left elbow, McLeod's left- hand grip and Ouimet’s elbows. My present unorthodox stance grew on me. It has struck a lot of people as being exceedingly funny. In England I al- ways had & crowd of people around me | on” the practice greens.

I suppose if my putting ever became bad as it was down in Baltimore I'd start all over again and not quit until I had found an effective style. After all, there is only one answer to putting and that is to get the ball down. My other weakness, the short ap- | proaches and bunker shots around the | green, was a lot easler to correct. It | didn’t take me long to find that my trouble was pulling up on the shots. I used a decidedly abbreviated backswing and in lunging through with the stroke a tendency to pull up developed. ‘The obvious way to correct this was to lengthen the backswing and take the club back in & more upright arc. Once I did this the trouble disappeared. All of us, professionals and djffers, must keep watch against the cropping up of these weaknesses. IL is 50 easy keep on guard.

Others hold, however, that Roland MacKenzle should have & higher rating than alternate. ‘We agree entirely with this V(!w,‘ believing that MacKenzie's ‘Walker Cup | match record and his showing in ama- teur championships and other tourna- ments of high class over the past half- dozen years should rate him a berth on the team, and not as an alternate, but as a regular member. ‘There is no question in the minds of many golfers in Washington that both MacKenzie and Voigt should be placed on the team, and that both should be regulars. Jones, Johnston, Von Elm and Ouimet rate places on the team hout question, they say, but there ‘s considerable doubt as to whether the slipping Sweetser and Don Moe should rank ahead of Roland MacKenzie. For business reasons ‘MacKenzie has not had the opportunity to play golf in the past year that the others have had, but even so his game is as strong as it was in 1926 and 1928, when he was a member of two winning Walker Cup teams. Von Eltn, some golfers claim, hardly merits a place on the team because he has failed for three successive years to go past the first day in the amateur champlonship. He has been beaten cither in the first or second round of match play in the blue ribbon event of amateur golf for three successive years. There you are, and if you have any ideas about how the Walker Cup te should be composed, you may talk about them all you want. But your conversation will not carry much weight with the U. S. G. A. The team is named, and that is that. A special dispensation has been made in' the case of Harry Cooper by the committee in charge of the Agua Caliente open, which starts tomorrow, to enable the little Britisher to get married on sjiedule and still play in the tournament. Postponement of the Los Angeles open because of bad weather forced postponement of the Agua Caliente affair, which interfered with Cooper's wedding plans.e Warren Brown, Chicago newspaper man, who is chairman of the tourna- ment committee, was appealed to, and decided that Cooper could play 27 holes tomorrow and fly to Los Angeles to be married, then come back to Agua Caliente to play 27 holes more on the third day of the tourney to catch up with the field. The tourney is & four- day affair, with 18 holes to be played each day. Fred McLeod of Columbia is an entrant. So is Leo Diegel, who used to be the Friendship pro and now has gone on to a place as the leading match player in the professional ranks. Here's a laugh for the friends of V. Calvert Dickey, well known Wash- ington club golfer. Dickey reached the fifteenth tee dormie 4 to Dr. A. L. Bou. Dickey keeps up & running fire of con- versation as he addresses his ball. = As he took his stance on the fifteenth tee he said: “Well, boys, this straight ball of mine hasn't seemed to get me any- Where.

Regardless of the distance to the nearby green, Bobby Jones' back- swing for his chip from the sand is always the same. He takes the club half way back for this shot.

When 1| replled I'd never thought sbout it nor | had an idea how to get the chance, he replied at once: “I'll recommend you,” and a short time later I got a contract from the Galesburg team in the Central Association.

I was unconscious for 36 hours. When I awoke it was to find myself with a double vision.
