NO ™M A ROTTEN BRIDGE PLAYER = & They Are All LSO HOPE YOu play grand mechanical golf, but forget how they stand at the eight- | eenth hole. Perhaps it was the ex- | citement of a close match, or the ex- | hilaration of a fine shot or two, but ! whatever it was the scene staged on the eighteenth green at Chevy Chase yes- terday will go down in local golf history as one of the queerest ever seen in this neck of the woods. For Richard Lunn, the 16-year-old youngster from Burning Tree, who has in him the making of a very fine golfer, and young Lou Fisher of Georgetown University did not know who had won when the eighteenth hole of their sec- ond-round match in the Chevy Chm‘ | tourney had been played out, or how they stood. | Quite the queerest scene we ever have | seen in a golf match. Certainly it caused |a wave of laughter at the staid old | Chevy Chase Club late yesterday as the | yarn traveled about the golfers gathered | near the golf shop. Here was the situation: Lunn was 1 up coming to the eighteenth hole, and | he poled out a good tee shot and knock- | ed his second on the green. Fisher hit| a poor second shot and then, playing Square on 18th MAY 15, 1931.

(Ted) Burrows, star | golfer of the public links and holder of the city municipal title. Eynon won a close match from Tommy Bones of Co- lumbia in the second round, on the| eigtheeenth green, just outlasting his southpaw clubmate to eke out a final hole victory. Herrman slaughtered John J. Lynch of Argyle, getting over the first nine in 36, even with a misse short putt on the ninth, to turn 5 u and retain that margin to the end. Butrows beat Tommy Webb of Wash- | ington in the afternoon, and Lunn, | after beating Parker Nolan of Con- gressional in the morning, beat Fisher on the nineteenth hole in the afternoon | session.

The game runs along evenly and everybody gets a share of the gate receipts. The return of wrestling to the center of the stage is due, says Ed (Stran. gler) Lewis, to the fact that the gam: glen were thrown out, restcring confi- ence, Others who have made a careful study of the game and delved deep in the history of the game say it is noth- ing more than the natural trend—that life and all things In it travel in cycles. That is true of styles in dress, furni- ture and architecture, so maybe it is true in wrestling. thousand years ago they game The Greeks get since that time furnished many of the , but_not anges in 3,000 years as there have been cl ges in American foot ball in the last 25 years. Think of that! On the walls of the temple tombs of Ben| Hasan, near the Nile, are carvings depicting hundreds of wrestling scenes. ‘Those who have men them were im| <4th the the hol in those days to general st~ ¢he game today. It was highly # ped that far back. w’ LING was the principal #oort in the early Greek Olympics. It then was a part of the pentath- lon. No holds were barred. They could even strangle, kick or butt an opponent. | But the wrestler of that day was not | crude. He was schooled to be graceful ~—the esthetic idea of the times. | 8o are the wrestlers of today, for that | matter. They put on a good show and each one is & stylist in his particular form. Sonnenberg ascended to fame by his flying tackle. Lewis, who now is a champion for the fourth time, long ago earned the nickname of “Strangler.” ‘The most notable wrestler of those anclent days was Milo of Croton, 500 years B.C., and who scored 32 notable triumphs in international champlionship affairs. Perhaps the greatest wrestler of modern days was Frank Gotch, the Iowa farmer, who held the champion- ship many years when the game was a big money maker in the Middle West. IM LONDOS, the Greek, who became 2 naturalized American, is likened to Milo of Croton by wrestling writers who wax poetic. Not as great in his mev&menu, but graceful and perfect gure. Sonnenberg is much unlike the an- clents, but he started wrestling off on & new era of prosperity and popularized the game in the big Eastern cities. After a notable career in foot ball, Gus tried the wrestling game and by his fiying tackle style quickly made & hit. Sonnenberg threw Lewis and after a Jong reign, during which he wrestled three or four times a week, Gus was in turn thrown by another ex-collezian, Don George. and just recently George was beaten by the old champion, Lewis All of whiclt is included in the so-called “Western wheel” of the wrestling game. The other crowd grew jealous and formed the “Eastern wheel” and Dick Shikat wes made champion by grace of the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission’s decrve. And Shikat later was fhrown by Londos, who has since cashed in heavily. No doubt much of it is hi but the fans don't mind. pay their money and see a good exhibition of strength and skill, face-making, etc and listen to the groans and grunts of the big men. a R I TILDEN TAKES SERIES Beats Richards in Four Sets for Third Straight Win. | PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 15 (#)— william T.
