THE SU VDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C, SEPTEMBER 14, 1930—PART FIV. Shorey Is Golf Victor : Exhibition to Be Classic : Racing Shifts to Hagerstown ANNEXES TOURNEY AT BANNOCKBURN Extra Hole Is Played in Driv-| ing Rain—Stott Defeats 1 Hird on 21st. ! G par play slackened for a| moment, John C. Shorey | | | “won the invitation tournament of ~the Bannockburn Golf Club yes-l terday for the second consecutive | ’yénr. defeating Martin F. Mec- Carthy of Beaver Dam on the @ineteenth hole of as thrilling a final golf tourney round as has| Peen seen around Washington in| many months. | As Shorey holed a 2-foot putt on the| eighteenth green to square the match, | after McCarthy had missed & 15-foot| putt for a par 4, a thunderstorm of near-cloudburst dimensions broke over the course of the Bannockburn Club, which has been without appreciable tain for more than 10 weeks. The finalists played ths nineteenth hole in a driving rainstorm, which thorcughly soaked them long before they hit their tee shots to the nine- teenth, and ploughing through the rain, | which lay in miniature lakes all over| the parched fairways and putting | green, Shorey got the ball down in two | - putts to win the hole and the match | with a par 4, when McCarthy, chipping | over the small lakes that formed the | surface of the putting green, took 3 to get down from 25 feet away. Shorey’s victory was a typical ex- ample of the uphill plugging, for which the young Bannockburn star is noted. Down all the way from the sixth hole, except for one hole where he squared | \the match, Shorey kept plugging llong‘ {against McCarthy, and jumped ‘into his long-delayed opportunity to square the | match on the eighteenth, where Mc-] Carthy underplayed his second shot to the green, to lose the hole to a par 4 by Shorey. The Bannockburn lad won | the tourney last year, defeating Page | Hufty of Congressional in the final. Only a week ago he finished second in the District amateur championship, los- ing to Frank K. Boesch of ‘Washington by a sing'e stroke. Beat Pitt, 6 and 5. Shorey entered the final by a sur- risingly large margin of victory over gnrry 'G. Pitt, Manor Club ace, whom he beat, 6 and 5. In this match the ultimate winner was 1 below par for the 13 holes played. McCarthy won from William P. Di Este to enter his first tournament final, beating the cross-handed expert from Argyle by 8 and 2. Shorey broke into an early lead in the final round, winning the second hole with a birdie 4 and the third when |- McCarthy's second shot went wild from the woods. But the fighting Beaver Dam player came back to win the fourth, with a par 4; the sixth, with a birdie 2 after an iron shot that left him only four feet from the cup, and the seventh, with a buzzard 5, where Shorey visited the woods. A half at the ninth left McCarthy 1 up. They halved the tenth in par 5s and Shorey got & lucky half at the eleventh, where he chipped out of the ditch onto the green, and McCarthy took three putts. Shorey won the twelfth with a birdie 4, holingga 15-foot putt, but McCarthy won the short thirteenth when Shorey failed to 'get a clip shot dead and took a 4. ‘They halved the holes through®the seventeenth, leeving McCarthy 1 up and 1 to go playing the final hole. Here both men hit fine tee shots, far out into the valley below the green, but the Beaver Dam star hit his second snot weakly and was short with his chip, while Shorey, se the break, 1 rllyed a magnificent second shot which left him a reasonable putt for a 3. He did not need it, however, winning the hole with a par 4. The thunderstorm broke as they left the green and they left the tee at the nineteenth in a | drenching downpour. Each hit a good | tee shot and both were on the green | in two shots. But Shorey proved the | better “mudder,” as McCarthy took | 3 to get down through the water, which lay over the green like a sheet, and the home club star got down a three-foot putt for a winning 4.

Harbam, chair- man of the Greens Committec at Burn- ing Tree, and Dr. T. J. W. Brown, who served in a similar capacity at Ban- nockburn. Both these authorities agree that with mormal Fall rains the grass | will come back, and that if & two or three day rain comes along the fair- ways will be green again within a week. That would be quite an agreeable change for the golfers who have played “Winter rules” throughout most of the long and dry Summer months. Manor Club members are completing their qualification rounds today for the club championship, whose match play rounds will start next week, while over at Indian Spring the club golfers start- ed play today for the championship in a qualification round, which will run through the week. Dougles Gibson played 17 holes in the qualification round of the Bannockburn tournament_before he finally hit what he described as a satisfactory tee shot. And the manner of how he finally hit his tee shot makes quite a yarn. He and Worthington Frailey of Chevy Chase were playing the seventeenth hole, when they spied a baby chip- munk lying on the green near the tee. Gibson picked up the youngster and put it in his pocket. finishing out the hole. The ground squirrel was still in his pocket as he drove off the eight- eenth tee, and Frailey said that. for the first time during the game Gibson swung smoothly and freely, hitting out a fine tee shot well over the hill to the eighteenth. Gibson laughs about the incident, saying that he was so afraid he would crush the squirrel in. his pocket he swung easily and freely. Golfers of the Interstate Commerce Commission will start play tomorrow in the annual tourney for the practi- tioners' trophy at Indian Spring. They will play in & 36-hole qualifying round, after which the 8 low net scores will be paired for the match play rounds, scheduled for Scptember 18 and 19. | Here are the starting times for the medal round tomorow morning and afternoon, in addition to the handicap allowance of each entrant: 7:30—12:00.

Stevinson of Columbia, Washington's lone entrant in the na- tional amateur championship, plans to leave the Capital during the middle of | this week to get in several practice | rounds before the championship starts a week from tomorrow over the Marion course. Out at_ the Washington Golf and Country Club some 50 or 60 club mem- bers are scheduled today to entertain a like number of golfers from Columbia in an informal team match. The par- ticipants in the affair are asked to be at the club, ready for luncheon, at 11:30 o'clock, in order that all the golfers may get off the first tee in time to complete the round. ‘The woman's championship of the to start over the Landover course to- day with an 18-hole qualification round. cure one of the major golf champlonships over its course, the Congressional Country Club last night authorized a radical change in the second nine of the present course, by which two entirely new holes will be constructed, to be ready for use next Spring, and two more of the pres- ent holes will be lengthened and im- proved. ,The old tenth hole is to be abandoned almost in its entirety, which should bring joy to the duffers who approach that lengthy 610-yard affair with misgiving and trepidation. Henry J. Richardson, chairman of the Grounds Committee of the Congressional Club, announced that the tenth and sixteenth holes, as they stand at pres- ent, are to be abandoned upder plans submitted by Donald Ross and endorsed by the club, 'and the seventeenth and eighteenth holes are to be lengthened. In addition, the creek which flows down the eighteenth fairway and below the present tenth tee will be dammed to make a 40-yard water hazard below the next tenth tee. Work on the new holes is to begin immediately, and will be completed, cording to Richardson, in time for YIIY next Spring. Par for the nine will be 35 and its distance will be raised from the present yardage of 3,032 to 3,207 Par for the entire course will remain at 73, but the layout will be consider- ably harder than the present course because of the addition of two hard two-shot holes and the lengthening of the seventeenth and eighteenth.

On the left side of the new tenth | green a tee for the new eleventh hole | will be built, and the hole itself will be played down the valley of the present creek at the left of the present tenth fairway out into what is not the hill | overlooking the tenth green. The tenth | | green will become the eleventh green | under the new plan, and much of the | play will be down the valley of the | creek. The quarry which now menaces the third shot to the tenth green will | be kept as a hazard to the new eleventh | | green. The hole will be 450 yards in | length and will be a real twe-shotter, demanding extreme accuracy both with the tee shot and the second shot. It will be a dog-leg from right to left, with the tee shot to be played far out to the right onto what is now the tenth fairway, from which the second shot will be played across the corner of the quarry to the present tenth green. A | few trees will have to be removed to make way for the new holes, but the constructors will attempt, in so far as | possible, to retain the trees where they do not interfere with plan on the line of the hole.

One of the difficulties of golf is to remember the various points of play that aid your game. We work over a shot and find that some little adjustment of grip or stance enables us to play it correctly. Then we lay off a while and return to the links.

BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. OT for half a decade have| Washington's golf bugs | had the opportunity of witnessing on a local course such a stellar exhibition match starring such-performers as will be offered for the low price of two bucks next Tuesday afternoon at the Columbia Country Club. Exhibition matches in overflowing measure have been played around the Capital in the last decade, and Wash- ington has been host to the leading club swingers of the world within the last ten years, but for the first time in history the world emperor of the game will be seen in action here, wearing his regal robes, with his three major crowns | metaphorically atop his browned brow; while with him will be the gent who came so close at Minneapolis and in England to thwarting him in his task of winning all four major title: in one ‘ear, Y®The blase Capital, used to the busi- | ness of greeting champions in all lines of sport and effort, will turn out some- | Jones in action next Tuesday, if the hopes of the sponsors of the Bobby Mc- ‘Watt exhibition match come true. And | if those same 5000 golfiacs do not get | their $2 worth in the form of an ani- mated golf lesson, the Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers’ Association, which is sponsoring the match, will be disap- pointed. Putting It Briefly. Here are the cold facts about the finest golf match which has been offered this eity: The place—Columbia Country Club, near Chevy Chase Lake, Md. The time—2 o'clock Tuesday after- oon. The contestants—Bobby Jones of At- | 1anta, American open, British open and | British amateur champicn, and Roland R. MacKenzie, Columbia amateur, versus MacDonald Smith, runner-up to Jones for both the American and British cpen titles this year and at one time | holder of all the minor titles of the world, and Fred McLeod, professional at Columbia, and holder of the Amer- ican open championship in 1908. The price, $2, with tickets on sale at all golf clubs,-public courses and sports goods stores. The occasion: 'A benefit match for Bobby McWatt, former Columbia pro- fessional golfer who was so seriously injured in an automobile accident two years ago that he never will walk again. The pros wish to raise money enough to buy him a miniature golf course to provide a living for himself and family. Bobby Jones has set a thoroughiy worth-while precedent by breaking his usual custom of not playing exhibition matches to play in the coming match, | for the sole reason of the benefit phase of | the professionals and consistently doing the gracious thing, Bob Jones, who has already this year turned down some- thing like 200 requests to play in ex- hibitlon matches the country over, has gladly consented to play in the match on 'Tuesday in order that he may do his bit for one of the professionals who has been deprived by an accident of his means of livelihood. Can Washington golfers do less? do not think so. Furthermore | matches of this kind there are lot of depd heads, gents who ride through the gate on “Annie Oaklies” and contributé nothing but their pres- ence to the gallery. The newspaper men usually are in this category because it is their job to “cover” goif affairs. But even these calloused lads expéct to lay their two iron men on the line next Tuesday to aid Bobby McWatt. Can others do less? Got Bobby $1,300. Last year a match was held at In- dian Spring for the same purpose. Leo Diegel and “Tiorton Buin appeared against Monro Hunter and Glenn Spen- cer for the same cause, and something more than $1,300 was raised. But it was a hot day, and the match was not as good a, match as has been arranged for next Tuesday. This year, if the ex- pectations of the sponsors of the match are fulfilled and some 5,000 persons g:y $2 to see the match, $10,000 will raised for McWatt, which should keep the wolf from the door for many j months, give the little McWatt young- sters a taste of the milk of human kindness and relieve the anxiety of a mother down in Richmond.

Back in 1925 the two open cham- pions of the two big golfing countries of the world appeared in Washington. William MacFarlane, American open champion, and Jim Barnes, British open champion, played in a match billed for the world championship . But that was a purely commercial affair, and the golfers failed to turn out as expected. The match next Tuesday is quite dif- ferent. All the proceeds will go to Bobby McWatt. No deadheads and no money for expenses. All the contestants, including “Mac” Smith, who has to come here from New York, have gladly consented to forego expense money, in order that the entire pot may be net to_McWatt. Bobby Jones will be on his way North | ARLBORO, Md., September | M 13.—Seventy-five per cent to Philadelphia, where he will make his last stand of the year in the attempt to hurdle the obstacle no man conquered before—four victories in the four major world championships. He holds three of them already, and he is the out- standing favorite to win at Merion. It may be Washington’s last chance to see the peerless-one in action for a long time, for rumor has it he has decided to forego the open championship, and un- the amateur championship comes here it.may be a long day before Bob will be seen around Washington again.
