George Voigt Is Seen as Big Threat in British Amateur Golf Title Tourney YANK STANDS OUT AMONG INVADERS Bowman, George’s First Stiff Opponent in Competition Opening Tomorrow. | i | BY BERNARD DARWIN, British Gelf Expert. ONDON, May 16.—The Brit- L ish amateur golf champion- ship, which begins at West- ward Ho!, Devon, Monday, is by comparison with last year & private and domestic affair. The draw looks at first sight almost drab and unexciting. But look again and there is one who, with Bobby Jones and George Von Elm | out of the way, is perhaps the| most dangerous invader who| could have come here, George | Voigt. I have not heard much of any bet- ting, but I should imagine that he ‘would start favorite. We saw him last year. We know his quality and that, allowing for an “if” at the long hole at St. An- drews, he ought to have beaten Bobby in the semi-final. So we shall not be at all eager to bet much of our money against him. He has a num- ber of compatriots in_the draw, but unless there is among them some “mute inglorious” Bobby of whom I am ignorant, no one of them threat- e ens any very seri- Georre Volst. ous danger, thoug! one of them, Douglas Fairbanks, is in one sense far the most famous man in the fleld. America’s Line-up. Let me get them out of the way and the; back_to Voigt. Here are their names: l’i‘ R. Phkl.lélpé, ;t}l‘rh;gy R. Thompson, T. Maguire, E. J. Ha )y and our old friend, Joshua Crane, whom o Forsman of Winged Foot, L tel, I:ho enters from Oxford, and C. Le Wi ‘There are also Paul Azbill from Sun- ningdale and Douglas Grant from Sand- wich, but to all intents and purposes Grant is a British-bred golfer, though perhaps California won't admit it. Now for Voigt, who has to play in the first round. He is in the second | quarter of the draw, not far removed from Sir Ernest Holderness, whom he | smashed up very completely in the | ‘Walker Cup match last year. In the | top quarter is Roger Wethered, and in the t is Cyril Tolley. The rest of | our good men are, roughly speaking, fairly well scattered throug As far as I can see, Voigt's first fence comparatively easy time for -a round or two, until, as may happen, he has a return battle with Holderness. The first fence, which is a stiff one, consists of T. H. Bowman, a Lincolnshire farmer.

Now let me say a word of Westward Ho!—though to convey any impression of & course to those who have never seen 1t is most difficult. It was the subject of one of the historic remarks in golf. 1t was in 1863 that Gen. Moncriefle, | from 8t. Andrews, come to stay with a cousin in Devonshire, was taken out for a walk on Northam burrows, and ex- claimed: “Providence evidently intended this for a golf course.” Topography Perfect. The general’s remark is still a perfect description of the old original part of | Westward Ho! Thc most perfect natu- ral, broken, undulating plece of sandy ground the golfing mind can well con- ceive. There is nod quite ensugh of it, and this old ground is reinforced by some more which is by comparison flat and dull. Yet this flat part has been so well bunkered that I am not sur does not provide tiz more difficult golf of the two.

British Open American Amateur and British Amateur Champion.) man of the traffic squad, who was working with me in one of my pictures, made the other day an observation which struck great force. We were all standing by walting for a four-ball match to go through before we could make the scene. One of the players was playing a brassie shot, and the c:i) was watching him closely. Pain- fully the player set himself; carefully he placed his feet, and fearfully he be- gan the stroke. “There,” said the cop, “there is a man who is trying to learn to play golf like I did. I'll bet he read a book on the game before he ever went out to play. He is doing everything mechan- icaily. Mr. Jones, don’t you think a man ought first to try to play natur- ally for a while, and then try to im- prove on what he has?” There is a great deal of meat in the policeman’s idea. Apparently he was an enthusiastic golfer—almost every one in California is—and he had given about. as much thought to the game as he had to his revolver practice which he was missing that afternocn. Difficult for Older Person. ©Of course, I believe sincerely in com- petent instruction. I don't believe there is any such thing as a purely natural golfer, chiefly because hitting a golf ball is not a thing which comes naturally to a human being. But our | have always been those who started the game when they were young—and almost always thcse who began by imitating, consciously or un- consciously, some fine stylist. These youngsters needed instruction; there was always plenty for them to learn; but they found for themselves a com- 1 . easy g, & ground- werk which suited their® bodies or which could be adapted to their physi- cal peculiarities. After a man has become a few years older he cannot hope to pick up the 1] as quickly as a child. But I think it is a mistake to try to graft upon him, by instruction in successive details, & swing purely syntbetically created. In other words, I don't be- lieve you can get anywhere by taking best players “The policeman’s idea is more or less myow‘: In the very beginning, a PASADENA motor cycle police- | days. Bobby advocates instruction but without developing in the student a mechanical swing. man should be told how to hold his club and he should be given scme idea of what the swing should look like. But beyond that I think it best to let him alone for a while. himself the sense of swinging the club, let him find out something of what it feels like, and then correct him, always with proper ‘regard for whatever ten- dencies he has manifested in his first halting steps.

Many ye: one wrote a book about learned to play golf by starting with a two-foot putt and working out, grad- ually working himself into the “feel” of the longer clubs. Every golfer, young or old, needs personal, thoughtful instructiocn—but it should never be allowed to produce a mechanical swing. Let the result be fundamentally sound, of course, but individual all the sane. (Copyright, 1931.) Crowder, Brown Hurl for Griffs Special Dispatch to The Star. T. LOUIS, May 16—Pitcher Al Crowder, who has been taking it | on the chin a great deal this season, after a long lay-off, will get another chance to show his wares when Nationals and Browns engage in a double-header here tomorrow. The right-hander, who last started a game on May 1, when he was defeated by the Red Sox in Boston, is to face Bill Killifer's club in one of the sv\;llld;yr to give a Crowder has been myo:ce. Then he filled & relief role in a New York tussle, and did not fare s0 well.

Crowder was of great help to the 'Washington club last season, and was counted upon heavily to put it well up in’ the race early this year.

And with the pennant chase the mad scramble it now is the Wash- ington club can well afford to have & lot of good pitching. HAT sturdiest of moundsmen, Lloyd Brown, is to burden in the double-header.

Spencer finds been in z\' of Washinz- this Spring and has plenty ? 8 and bruises to show for his hard work. Each of the catcher’s arms sports several black and blue patches, results of stopping foul tips. Three fingers on his right hand were spike- | gashed recently. Both shoulders have been severely brulsed. His thighs have been badly battered by fouls. In the last Cleveland game, a foul t& landed on his right leg just above the knee, and in the game here Friday a foul struck his left leg above the shinguard. Today he had & foot slightly gashed by a runner sliding into the plate. Between games Spencer around, but once in action he appears to forget his injuries. He throws well with that bruised right arm and de- spite the leg injurles is very shifty around the plate. But it's & rough life, this catching every day. Spencer says so and he ought to know, UDDY MYER'S left wrist that was sprained in the first of the Cleve- land games is about well again and the player is expected to resume his post at second base in one of the Sunday games here. Myer went through a long fleldipg drill today and the in- | jured hand did not seem to bother him. He batted gingerly, though, apparently unable to grip his bat well with the left hand.

FONSECA FOR KAMM IS INDIAN-SOX SWAP Cleveland Negotiating for Star Minor League Shortstop to Further Bolster Infield. CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 16 (#) Lew Fonseca, hard-hitting first base- traded tonight to the Chieago White Sox for Bill Kamm, third baseman, The trade, involving no money, Was made by telephone between Billy Evans, general manager of the Indians, and Harry Grabiner, secretary of the White Sox. Evans, in announcing the trade, indicated he was negotiating for an e: perienced shortstop to plug another week spot in the Indian defense. The steps are in recognition of the weakness in the infleld, which has done much to put the on the skids in the league race in the last week, Evans said. Cleveland lost its eighth straight game today and was in fifth place Last Saturday it was leading. Evans declined to identify the short- stop he is seeking except to say he is “the outstanding shortstop in the minor leagues and a man of several seasons experience as a major league regular.” BELLE HAVEN WINNER ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 16.—Belle | of & monthly series of four in the Tri- State Golf Association over teams from Martinsburg, W.
