, to send a team to the United States SPORTS. THE TAKE FOR GRANTED JONESSUPREMACY vCritic Suggests Team Tilts " Lapse Until John Bull Can Make Showing. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, June 27 (CP.A). —Suggestion that a few shreds of Great Britain's! golf prestige might be sal- wvaged if it temporarily withdrew from Walker Cup competition has been made by a prominent Brit- | o ish golf writer. The British seem | to be showing far more resent- | ment over the slaughter of their| emateurs in the international| team matches than the loss of two national championships to Bobby Jones. | The British accept Jones for what he is—the world great golfer. They are very fond of the American star and were quite reconciled to his win- | ning one or both of the champion- £hips before he arrived in England. But 1t seems to be the general opinion that | the selection of the Walker Cup team | was poorly done and that the 10-to-2 | slaughter at Sandwich might partly have been averted. Seven Walker Cup matches have Been played since the gift of George Walker started the international duel | in 1922, and the British have been | + beaten every time. They did not com- | plain so long as their amateurs were able to give the Americans a close fight | on British links, such as happened st St. Andrews in 1923 and 1926, when | the United States was fortunate to win | by_one point. But the 11-to-1 victory of the Amer- | fcans at the Chicago Golf Club an the recent debacle at Sandwich has aroused the ire of golfers in all parts ©of Britain. No Obligation. The magazine Golf, commenting ed- ftorially on the 1930 matches, says: “Is it worth Great Britain continuing the match with United States. We have lost every time, seven times in all, and the last defeat was the worst xfieflenced in this country and ex- + celled only by the disastrous thrashing of two years ago at Chicago. As things are it would be futile for Great Britain two years hence. “It is not necessary under the condi- tions of the Walker Cup to play every second year. America is at the present time supreme in golf. We need not en- deavor to modify that position. There 45 no obligation upon us to play Amer- ica and we can wait until there is a subsidence of the fetish for developing amateur golfers in the United States. “We have heard it sald that unless some rich man comes along and pro- vides 8 or 10 British golfers with a sufficfent annual income to allow them to play golf all the year around we pever can win the Walker Cup match. Such a procedure is unthinkable lndl thoroughly opposed to the ideas we en- fertain of sport.” The Soclety Angle. Americans probably will be surprised %o learn that there is a fetish for the development of amateur golfers in this eountry. A glimpse at golf courses in city will prove they are growing ‘without any cultivating. And in Amer- fea social position does not militate sgainst a youngster becoming a star and playing in the internationals, as it seems to do in Great Britain. It would be regretted if Great Britain hould ask for a moratorium in the hflkfl' Cup matches, and it is un- likely such action ever will be taken. The feeling is growing that Great Brit- tain no longer can depend upon the Oxford-Cambridge crowd to produce winning golfers, and the artisan stars may get their opportunity in the fu- ture. “STRIKE Club Doesn’t Follow Ball Any Distance BY SOL METZGER. Try as one may, even if a Helen Hicks, one cannot make the club- head 'follow through after the ball for any appreciable distance. Here is Miss Hicks, after smashing a long iron, her club about a quarter of the way up on the through swing. But note that her clubhead is not fol- lowing on a line after the ball. There is a reason. The sound player is braced when swinging 1154 HICKS' FoLLOW THROUGH . through. The club has been swung by the arms. The left shoulder is the center of the circle through which the club swings. It cannot follow directly after the ball, as the arc of the circle brings it up and around over the shoulders. But try to make it go through after the ball. Too many of us strike the ball and as we do that we pull our hands in toward our left hip. Result, clubhead is pulled in across ball and a slice results. Your game is as good as your drive.

JONES, WITH TITLE CUPS, STARTS HOME Tells Britons Chances of 1931 Trip Slim—Tolley Is With Bobby. By the Associated Press. ONDON, June 27.—With the Brit- ish open and amateur golf cham- plonship cups in his baggage, Bobby Jones left London today for New York by way of Southampton. He was accompanied by Cyril Tolley, British golfer. This is the first time that both British golfing cups have left England together. In strong contrast to the big galleries which followed him around the links at St. Andrews, Hoylake and elsewhere, Bobby's departure from Waterloo sta- tion was a quiet affair with only a few newspaper men to see him off. “Don’t think I will be able to come across to Britain next year,” he said In fact, you can pretty well take it for granted that I won’t be in England in 1931. 1 could not have been better treated than I have been in your coun- try, but I feel a bit nervous about what | is to come. I understand they are plan- ning a big reception for me in New York. I don't know how I am going to get on with that business at all.” Tolley arrived at the_station minutes_before Jones. He said, Bobby, I have arranged to come over with you as well as go down to South- ampton with you.” “Great boy, Cyril,” was Bobby’s glee- ful remark. Tolley had arranged the trip at short notice. He sald he would return next Spring. UP THE BAND” New Notes in— “Hahn Special® SPORTS SHOES O —with sports shoes that are sports shoes, and how!

The title decision narrowed today to Phillips Finlay, Harvard; Lawrence Moller, Notre Dame; Winston Fuller, Southern California, and George Dun- lap, Princeton. Finlay and Fuller are tall, lanky | youths who hit golf balls great dis- tances. Moller, a stocky lad, is almost as long from the tee and a wizard when | he takes his putter in hand. Dunlap, | a flyweight, can chip and putt with men twice his weight. Finlay and Dunlap are veterans in the college competition. Fuller and Moller are making their first appear- ances. Gamester Beaten. The Harvard captain advanced to the semi-finals by turning back game, little Sam Perry, Alabama, the Southern in- | tercollegiate champion, 2 and 1, in| their 36-hole quarter-finals match after | the struggle had ebbed and flowed all | through a blistering hot day with a! sharp rainstorm near the close. Moller putted his way to a 2-and-1 victory over Marshall Forrest, Yale | captain. The Notre Dame captain found | plenty of trouble, but he showed great | facility in getting out of it and his put- | ting made up for many of the strokes he tossed away. Dunlap's Putts Win. { Dunlap was often behind through the green in his match with Sam Parks, Pitt's one-man team, but he was not |away many times on the green, for he | chipped close enough to get down in | one putt time after time and won 3 and 2. Fuller carried too many big guns for Charlie Eaton, pleasant-faced Harvard lad who smiled all the way up to and including & 4 and 3 defeat. The Californian was off to a big lead and although the Boston boy rallled, his spurt came too late. ‘Today's matches were at 36 holes and the final tomorrow will be the same distance, if so many be necessary.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE IVE Washington golfers, three of them professionals and two ama- teurs who were members of the successful United States Walker Cup team in their match against England last month, will play in the United States open golf championship over the course of the Interlachen Club of Minneapolis beginning July 10. They are Roland R. MacKenzie, amateur, of the Columbia Country Club; George J. | Voigt, amateur, a Washington born lad who learned the game here and now is connected with & Long Island club; A. L. Houghton, professional at the Harper Country Club near Rockville, Md.; Ar- thur “B. Thorn, professional at the Woodmont Country Club of Bethesda, Md, and Mel Shorey, professional at the ‘public course in East Potomac Park. MacKenzie and Voigt are among the eight members of the Walker Cup team who will make the trip to Minneapolis to play in the tourney, and were au- tomatically eligible for the champion- ship by reason of their membership on | the international team. The three pro- fessionals qualified in sectional tests held at Richmond, Va. nearly two weeks ago, the only Washington men out of 11 entrants who essayed the test. Pairings and starting times for the in tial two rounds of the championship, announced today by the United States Golf Association, disclose that all of the five will go to Minneapolis to contest for the crown now held by Bobby Jone: The great Jones himself will start 9:45 on July 10 and at 12:50 on July 11 with Jock Hutchison of Chicago in the attempt to win his third major title in 1930. ‘Thorn is the first of the local con- testants to start, being billed to play at 11:50 July 10 and 8:40 July 11 with Robert Mair of Texarkana, Ark. Shorey is scheduled to start at 12:15 July 10 and 9:05 July 11 with Gus Lovotny, Chi- | cago amateur star. at 1 Houghton will play 20 July 10 and 9:10 July 11 with BY W. R. McCALLUM | Perry Del Vecchio of Greensburg, Pa., MacKenzie is billed to start at 1 o'clock July 10 and 9:50 July 11 with another amateur, Vincent Eldred of Pittsburgh. Voigt will play at 2:05 on July 10 and 10:55 July 11 with MacDonald Smith of Long Island. Other stars entered in the tourney include Cyril J. H. Tolley, last year's British amateur champion; Phillip Per- kins, British title holder of 1928; Al Espinosa, runner-up to Jones for the title last year; Chick Evans of Chicago, Leo Diegel, Gene Sarazen, John Far- | rell, Horton Smith and ali the galaxy | of stars who annually contest for the title on_which Jones seems to have a | stranglehold. Horton Smith is listed to play with Ralph Beach of the Balti- more Suburban Club, who used to be the professional at Burning Tree. The entire fleld will play 18 holes on July 10 and the same distance on July 11, with the lowest 60 scores and ties to | play 36 holes on Saturday, July 12, the | entire 72 holes to count in the cham- | plonship. An_innovation at the big show this year will be an experiment to be tried | by the Columbia Broadcasting System | to_broadcast by radio hole- | sults of the tourney. Ted Husing, Co- |lumbia system sports “announcer, will | carry a portable broadcast set to give a | hole-by-hole announcement of the im- | portant shots that may decide the title. | The broadcast from the course will be | on July 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. Gene Larkin of Chevy Chase, holder |of the Maryland State open champion- | ship, today is mourning the miss of a |4-foot putt for a birdie 2 on the [ ninth green of his home course that | enabled Fred Hitz and Reeve Lewis, ir, to defeat Larkin and Bill Hardy by a single hole yesterday. | Larkin and Hardy shot a best ball ‘Ol 69, which should be good enough to | trounce any amateur pair, but Hitz| and Lewis were real good, registering | & better ball of 68 to beat the pros by !a one-hole margin. They played the last nine holes first, and that left the ninth hole as the eighteenth of the match. Larkin and Hardy were 1 down going to the final hole, and Gene step- ped up to his tee shot on that ninth geurm!.ned to sock it home and get a leuce. “He played that ball like he would play a chip shot,” Hardy sald, “and he stuck it so close to the hole that from the tee it looked stone dead. As a matter of fact, it was 4 feet away, and then Gene missed the tt. But then, any one might have ed that putt.” On Wednesday the same four played and the pros were victorious by a 2- and-1 margin, with a best ball of 67 to 69 for thelr amateur opponents. Yesterday Larkin shot a 70 himself, and Hitz was 71, Fred McLeod, the little Columbia pro, hasn’'t been driving so well lately. A constant seige of lesson giving has kept the popular mentor on the practice tee 80 long that it has thrown him off his swing. But he retains that deadly ability to chip and putt which has characterized his game since he came to this country. Yesterday he played Abner Ferguson, a member of Columbia, with Ferguson taking McLeod's drives and McLeod playing Ferguson's drives. SPORTS.
