SPORTS. BELIES GOLF AXIOM AT CONGRESSIONAL His 33 Shows Length Equals Accuracy—Herrman Wins at Chevy Chase. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ON'T let any one put across on you that old hokum about the fellow who hits a long ball from the tee on a golf course not being able to score. It's just the plain bunk, for common sense will tell any one that the fellow who knocks them long, even though he may not always be on the !alrway.‘ usually is fairly well equipped by | nature with power enough to| plough them out of the rough and | still get them on the green with an iron while the sherter chap is using the wooden .club from the fairway. It used to be back in the dim days of Walter Travis and others like him that the short driving, accurate gent who could putt was more often than not the victor over the slugger. That axiom still has in it a considerable smattering of truth, but in these days the long hitters also are usually fairly | good putters and they also generally| have the ability to knock a ball out of the rough. Witness that amezing first nine played by Big Monroe Hunter a few days back at Indian Spring, when | he secured two eagles in the first seven holes. And bend an ear to the latest tale of 8 fellow who can knock a golf ball about as far as anv one can pound 'em | from the ter. We mean M. Parker| Nolen, aptly named the “Congressional siege gun,” who is about as long & hitter as we have in the amateur ranks | sbout the Capital. Nolan is far more | then & long hitter. He is a long ac- curate hitter and the difference means | something. He is not s good as he | might be with the intermediate irons, but & gent who poles them so far from the tee does not need to be & Chick Evans with the irons to get around a ®olf course in respectable figures. Nolan played the other day at Ccn- gressional with Bill Jones, Ray Schrei- ner and Carl Weigel. They played the last nine, first and none of the four, including Nolan, himself, had any idea of the fireworks to come when Nolan played the “back nine” in 39. Now 39 is just fair golf for that last nine at Congressional. Not so good, and not | bad. Just fair. Well, the “seige gun” stood on the first tee, facing the green more than 500 | yards away, and poled out a shot that| made Walter Johnson's old fast one look like a Spring breeze. And he fols lowed it up with a brassie shot to the | middle of the green, and to make the | yarn better he canned the putt for an cagle 2—something that has not been done cince Tommy Armour did the same stunt a couple of years back. That started Noian off and he went like a whirlwind from that point on, playing the nine in 33 strokes, which is nollzm rore nor less, boys ard girls, than ’ under par. Let some cne shoot against that, and we don’t mean ]8-handicap men, either. Bring 'em on, all of them, 2nd let them shoot against a 33 for that n;'t “r:m 'IL - ssional. Just to)| show how far Nolan was poking that golf ball.-he reached the eighth green, some 460 yards from the tee, with a drive and a mashie. And sagain Toled the putt for an eagle 3. He fin- ished with'a par 3 on the short ninth. Did we hear a still, small voice saying the new ball cannot be hit as far as the old one? Here are Nelan's figures on | that fine round Out, In, par Noli NG STAR, V BY LAWRENCE PERRY. IR THOMAS LIPTON'S election as a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron after 32 years of ambi- tion to be & member means, for one thing, that the America’s Cup race is restored as an aristocratic, high-class event. Nct since 1895, when Lord Dunraven became angry at the New York Yacht Club and took his Challenger home in the middle of the cup series against the defending yacht, Defender, has the Royal Yacht Squadron been concerned in "Britain’s quest for the America's Cup._Lipton’s sponsor has always been the Royal Ulster Club of Belfast. This was just & provincial club, not to be compared to the Royal Yacht Squad- ron, which, from the beginning, has been composed of peers of the realm and British big-wigs in official and business life. Nobility Shunned Races. With the Royal Squadron taking no interest in the America's Cup, the races for the famous trophy lost social sanc- ticn in Great Britain, and also took a good deal of luster away from the event in the eyes of the New York Yacht Club. Earls, dukes and lords were conspic- uously nbsent from the Challenging parties since Lipton began his attempts to lift the cup in 1899. So the contests for the blue ribbon of the seas lost that swank and swagger that they used to have and which in recent years the in- ternational polo matches have so sig- nal Squadron yachtsman seon after his 81st birthday is is harder a rich man to" pass merely rich man, especially a rich bership portals of this crack yachting | organization. .
