THE SUNDAY 5, 1930—PART FIVE 5 . Von Elm May Have Forestalled Ban : Tennis Politicians Are Hammered by Tilden STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, OCTOBER U..3. 6. A REPORTED INCLEAN-UP DRIVE Tip Spread That Governing Body Will Go After Golf- ing Salesmen. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. UITE a fuss appears to have been raised by the an- nouncement of the “great retirer” of Merion that golf has become too expensive for him to play as an amateur and that henceforth, if he is good! enough to win a money prize in| open golf competition, he will fat- | ten his purse with loose change‘ and therewith immediately forego | the use of the descriptive and des- | ignatory “Mr.” before his name in golf events. | We refer to George Von Elm, the blonde tiger of 1926, who won the ama- | teur championship from Bob Jones at | Baltusrol, the only amateur who has | beaten Jones at 36 holes over the last | decade, and certainly—until he an- nounced that he would leave amateur golf shuddering in its tracks without him—one of the outstanding simon pures of. the world. What significance is held in Von Elm's announcement that he cannot | afford to play amateur golf any more? And the similar announcement a few days ago 'by Johnny Goodman, that amateur golf is too expensive for the Omaha youngster to play. Does it mean that these young men thereby ac- knowledge the surpassing supremacy of Robert Tyre Jones and admit that while the ravaging corsair from At- lanta enters champlonships they haven't a ghost of & chance to win? We think it means just that, but behind these statements there is a deeper reason for their retirement from amateur golf, if gommon” goesip at Merion becomes & a Lots of Gossip. Merion was & gossipy champlonship. There was the rumor that Jones is to enter the movies; that the sand wedge is an 1l club; that the United States Golf Association is tired of be- ing criticized because of its so-called “hand picked” list of eligibles for the amateur championship. And there were many other rumors. Chief of them all was the rumor (coming on apparently good authority) that the U. S. G. A, is due to make a thorough house cleaning of amateur golfers who reside in that half-land bordering on professionalism, even though they may still use the word “Mr.” before their names. In case you are not familiar with that appellation, the designating word “Mr.” before the name of an entrant in an open tournament means that the young man has not demeaned ‘himself by accepting money for' his skill in playing or teaching golf. Now the Merion rumor had it that George Von Elm was tipped off that the U. 8. G. A. is shortly to clean house, and, beginning about January 1, is to start bearing down on the guasi-ama- teurs who work in brokerage or bond houses or sell insurance or sell what- not, and because of their ability to lease customers in the ritzy golf circles which they move by their ability to play golf, make for themselves a very comfortable living. Many of the lead- ing amateurs of America were placed in this class, which was said to start at the very top of the list and move right on down to the little bond sales- man who has a good game of golf and eke out their income by playing golf with gullible gents of fat rses, who buy a bond or two now and then. In- deed, ’tis said that one of the men who went well along in the Merion cham- made something like $100,000 year through his golfing salesman- George Tipped Off. Ncv Von Elm is supposed to have heard of these rumors and is supposed to have known that he was one of the men whose names were on the U. 8. G. A. black-list of those whose activities were due for rigid scrutiny. And he 1s supposed to have beaten the golf gov- e body to the punch by announc- ing retirement from amateur com- petition. We cannot say whether these rumors are true. They may be and they may not be the fact. But we know that a lot of golf professionals, including one of Washington's fore- , most and best loved mentors has made | the statement repeatedly that the pres- ( ent generation of golfers will not live to see the amateur championship won by an amateur. Ponder over that statement and think what implica- * tions it holds. Von Elm'’s announcement that he will take a money prize if he is fortunate enough to win one, pleased a lot of ! people. Others sald in blunt language that the Detroit blonde is nothing more than old John W. Sap himself. But the fact remains that George Von Elm has had the courage of his convictions and has established a new kind of tag {for quasi-amateurs. He is henceforth, ;the moment he takes a money prize, | neither one thing nor another, in some senses of the term. Under the present | ruling of an amateur, George cannot accept & money prize in an open com- % petition without accepting the status “ of a professional. He will thereby place himself in the same class as the travel- ing professionals, such as Tommy Ar- mour, Leo Diegel, Walter Hagen, Hor- ton Smith and many other who have club connections, but who go up and down the land, gathering in titles and money where they will. Von Elm is said to have made a connection with a De- trolt golf equipment manufacturing company, and also is said to have sev- ered his insurance connection with the Fisher Brothers of Detroit. All this is part of the whispering side show of Merion. We have been watching major golf champlonships off and on for the | better part of 25 years, and Merion took the crown as the chief of the whisper- ing championships. Chief of all the ‘whi comment was the Von Elm matter and the coming house cleaning Dy the U. 8. G. A. Well, we shall see what we shall see. And don't be sur- prised if a lot of quasi-amateurs are placed out on a limb within a few months by the golf powers that be. URGES SUBS ON GRID | FOR INJURIES ONLY| By the Associated Press.

Eynon, jr, won the champlonship ~ yesterday, ~defeating Thomas P. Bones, jr., another youngster of the Columbia Club, 2 and 1, in the final round to bring to an end one of the | finest club title events Columbia ever | has held. Late last night the entrants {in the tourney still were listening to | the witticism of “Tom” Brahany and | his fellow members on the entertain- | ment committee at a dinner which wound up the championship. Practical- club for the dinner which brought the championship to a close. Winning his way to the final round | by a 3-and-1 victory over Comdr. A. H.

He succeeds Miller B. Stevinson as the club title holder. ‘That Columbia tournament is quite an affair. If a man went away from the club last night without a plece of silver tucked away under his arm he must have played bad golf, for half the field of 96 players got prizes. There were prizes for the winner, the runner- up and the consolation winner in each flight. But in addition there were prizes for the defeated four winner, the de- feated two winner, the defeated four of the defeated eight and the defeated two of the defeated four. Figure it out if you can. When this reporter left Columbia last night his head was in a whirl, and not from anything but fig- ures elther. Eynon was out in 39 and 1 up on Bones in the final. Bones squared the match on the fifteenth, after losing the thirteenth to a 4 by Eynon. But the young southpaw—Bones—took three to get down from the edge of the six- teenth and seventeenth greens and lost both holes to lose the match by 2 and 1.

W. | up. s ND while we are on the sub- Ject of Merion, we would like to say a word about ae nasty whisper that emanated for a Philadelphia newspaper man regarding the actions of one of the best loved youngsters that ever swung & golf club. We mean Roland MacKenzie, the Co- lumbia youngster who has been on three Walker Cup teams, and certainly is one of the world’s leading golfers, by anyone’s yardstick. Roland was said to have been so disgusted with his score that he threw his ball the eighteenth putting green into the crowd in anger and is said also to have been so nettled that he wouldn't turn in his score, and the officials had to chase him into the locker room to get his score card. Not true at all. Roland was playing badly, no doubt of that. He had little chance for practice prior to the champlonship; his | swing was not grooved and the young- ster was nervous as he started out. Before long he began to kick the bali all over the golf course, when his swing became unhinged and his tee (usually the most reliable part of his game) went haywire. But through it all he was trying. And you can't hang & man for trying. And he was smiling, . We saw him putt on the eigh- teenth green, and we saw him toss the ball to his caddie, after he had holed out. And then Roland went in to the clubhouse, He wasn't disgusted. He wasn't mad. But he felt that he had made & bad showing. Lots of the com- petitors tossed the ball to their caddies as they finished, just as Roland did, and they were not subjected to a “razz- ing.” And about the score card episode. Roland explained to me that he signed his partner's score card, and his partner signed his—(Roland’s). The Columbia youngster thought that was all there was to it, and an official went into the clubhouse to ask Roland to sign his own card. That is all there was to the score card episode. Perhaps we shouldn't say anything about it, but these nasty rumors have a way of magnifying themselves all out of pro- portion, and Roland is too good a youngster and too fine a golfer to have shuch stuff said about him. Particularly when it s all wrong. T was & queer championship in many ways. In the first place the Walker Cup team took an awful socking. Two members failed to qualify, and four more went out on the first day of match play at the hands of youngsters who had little consideration for the team. Ouimet, Willing, Von Elm and Voight all were dropped on the first day of play by youngsters of whom com- | paratively liitle had been heard. But | | that is the way in these “sudden death” | 18-hole match play rounds. ‘They | knock 'em off quick. And MacKenzie | and Johnston failed to qualify. Maurice | McCarthy made a great showing. His | match with Von Elm was one of the epics of the game, surpassing any atch ever before played along the ancient green, and the lad with the Irish name from Flatbush settled any doubt that he is a great golfer by laying a pitch and run shot dead on the twenty- eighth green to win from the Detrofter. Tired from that match, and nervous as a cat, McCarthy fell before Sweetser the next day. But he had demonstrated his greatness beyond doubt. Is he not ‘Walker Cup team material in 1932? ‘We know that Maurice slept hardily a wink the night before he played Von Elm and that he was so dog-tired he could hardly lift his arm over the last nine holes. He played on his nerve and won. Such a lad deserves s place on any international team. UT at the Chevy Chase Club Bob Barnett, who is a lover of the game of golf, if ever a man was, has started formation of a golf library which he hopes some day will be crammed with boocks on the sport. Barnett already has the nucleus of an unusual collection and ho he will have enough to fill his bookcases. AVE you heard of the bet which Billy Shannon made with K?.ma.u— on, STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE stiots | Park, where he is finishing up another Whiteside, 2 and 1. golf courses and the difficulty of the game, and all those things that are so dear the heart of your true golfer. A trip to Pine Valley—the world's hardest golf course—was proosed, and then the matter of the score came up. “Daddy” Shannon bet the youngster ! that he couldn't break 100 on Pine| Valley and he made the bet so at- tractive that Bllly took it—hook, line and sinker. It was $10 against 25 cents that Billy couldn't break the century mark. So they started for Pine Valley, and when they got there they found the Crump Memorial tournament was in progress and mo one not competing in the tourney could play the course, Billy was disappointed, for he wanted that ten spot and he now is lookin, forward to the day when his dad w! take him again up to Clementon, N. J., where that rugged course stretches its length to halt them all. P. FITTS, course supervisor at Columbia, has just about com- pleted rebuilding the tenth green at the Columbia course, and in between times, when he finds & spare hour or two, he hies himself down to Anacostia nine-hole golf course to be run as a public_course by the Board of Welfare and Recreation of the Government. Fitts is getting ready to lay out an- other 18-hole course on what he claims is grand golf country over near Fort Dupont, in northeast Washington, which will be done next year. Both courses near Anacostia are expected to be ready for play next year. 'RANK K. ROESCH, the District champion, is to be honored by his fellow members of the Washing- ton Golf and Country Club at a dinner to be held at the clubhouse the eve- ning of October 10.

OROTHY WHITE NICOLSON, former woman's District champion, set & new unofficial woman's record for the Washington course a few days ago, scoring & 78 over that tough layout.” Her previous best was 81.

NEW YORK, October 4 (N.A. to be done before next The year 1930 has been ripe John Doeg, Sidney Wood, Cllflordl Allison; the excellence of John ments in_the showing of Frank Hunter, BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2d. N.A).—The tennis season is over, but much rgmains year if our jubilee year is to be the great success we hope it to be. with the promise of coming greatness through the rise of Sutter, Ellsworth Vines, Frank | Shields; the brilliance of Wilmer | Van Ryn and Gregory Mangin. True, there have been disappoint- Junior Coen, George Lott and Fritz Mercur However, from a playing | standpoint, tennis is in a healthy and flourishing’ condition. Politically — and unfortunately our tennis is largely governed by poli- ties—all is not so fair. Never has the game been so dominated by politics, governed and organized by men many of whom are not and never have been players. One cannot blame; one can rather understand, if not excuse, blun- ders by men who have never played the game, since they have had no ex- perience in meeting the situations that arise in international tennis. Lauds Davis Cup Heads. We have been indeed fortunate dur- ing this era of executive lack of play- ing knowledge to have had at the head of our Davis Cup organization two men like Joseph W. Wear and F. E. Dixon, who are both experienced in interna- tional sport and strong in executive ability. They made up to some extent what our country lost. However, another year is at hand, & most important one to the U. 8. L. T. A. I am not_questioning the sincerity of the present administration, nor its fair- ness, nor its earnest desire to do all in its power to aid the game of tennis. I only question its judgment and its methods. I feel very strongly the time has come when the United States Lawn Tennis Association needs a leader who has a background that includes not only long business training, but also that of a player, an international sportsman and one versed in the nice- ties of diplomatic correspondence. Weighty problems face our next pres- ident. Today many of the foreign na- tions consider the U. S. L. T. A. al most ridiculous in its handling of the | amateur problem. They wonder why we do not follow the generally accepted standards of the International Federa- tlon, without adding a lot of hair- splitting rules that only handicap our- selves. They are not pleased &t our arrogance toward aiding _their teams to play in the United States. They feel we lack & spirit of Teciprocity in our policy of international play, and they are right. Strong Man Needed. ‘What is needed in American tennis todsy is & man who recognizes that we must establish the friendliest rela- tions with other nations and by our great wealth co-operate in bringing their players to us and ours to them. We need a man strong enough to face the issue on such bugaboos as the player-writer rule, the insurance and bond problem, the ghost writer and all the other amateur-professional angles and lead us to a clear and simplified rule that is at once understandable and enforceable by all. It would require a man of assured social and financial position, who 1s not affillated with any of the present exist- ing political factions in the associa- tion, yet one who is acceptable to all of them. Such a figure would require much searching to find, and, once found, might refuse the job, but if he couid be found what prestige he would give to the U. 8. L. T. A. and what a benefit he would be to the game of amateur tennis, Too Much Politics. This much is certain. The present handling of teams, the present attitude of international reciprocity is too wrapa ped up with political ambitions to give the desired results. I consider the Wightman Cup was lost when Miss Harper, our leading doubles player, was left off the team so as to include a player from the Missouri Valley Asso- clation and hold its vctes to the pres- ent administration. A team's person- nel must be divorced from political aspiration or personal likes and dis- likes if success is to meet American teams in future years. The time is ripe now for every dis- trict and_sectioal assoclation to con- sider serlously if they desire any changes in the administration next year, and if so they should express themselves to the nominating committee at once. We should do all in our power to make our jubilee year a red-letter year in American tennis, and the surest way to do it is to make an intelligent and concerted effort to solve such problems as the amateur question, international reciprocity and the banishment of politics from team selections.
