GOURSE, NEW BALL HARD FOR BRITISH Visitors Not Likely to Have Cotton—Duncan Is Out of Trim—Same Line-ups. BY ALAN GOULD, Assoclated Press Sports Editor. OLUMBUS, Ohio, June 25.— The balloon ball goes up for | an international trial to-| morrow in one of the big-| gest golfing shows of 1931—the| Ryder Cup matches between teams of homebred British and Americnn“ professionals. { Capt. Walter Hagen's forces, | completed only after Densmore{ Shute had beaten Frank Walsh | at the ninetieth hole of the com-| petition for the tenth and last place, will carry the home colors | into battle as favorites to win the two-day competition over the rugged layout of the Scioto Coun-| try Club. The Americans, whether they like the oversized ball or not, have the advan- | tage of greater familiarity with it plus | the confidence of being on home soil | and the fact that the British likely will | start without the services of one of | their best professionals, Henry Cotton, and with another seasoned campaigner, | George Duncan, in poor condition. Find Course Troublesome. The invaders, led by Capt. Charles | Whitcombe, have found Scioto an ex- | ceedingly troublesome battleground, in addition to manifesting a marked preju- dice against the American ball. They have confidence, nevertheless, in their team strength and the record of having beaten their rivals in two of the three team matches played since 1926. The first of these affairs was not for the Ryder Cup, however, so that this is the third series for the trophy, won by the Americans at Worcester in 1927, by the British at Moortown in 1929. Cotton’s arrival in Columbus revived rumors that last-minute measures would Tesult in his inclusion on the team, de- spite his previous refusal to play be- cause of the restrictions imposed. Fred Pignon, manager of the British team, declared no changes were contemplated. Choose Players Today. The rival captains, after a good deal of jockeying and master-minding, were slated to pick their line-ups today for the four Scotch foursomes Friday and the eight singles contests Saturday, all to be over the 36-hole route. Hagen hopes to settle an old feud with Duncan if the latter is drawn for the singles. The 47-year-old Briton, dean of the invaders, has never lost & singles match in the international pro battles. Twice he has conquered Hagen, the last time by the lopsided margin of 10 and 8. Denny Shute’s victory in the play-off for a place on the American team may mean the benching of Horton Smith or Craig Wood. The expectation was that Hagen would pair his men in the foursomes as follows: Gene Sarazen and Johnny Farrell, Leo Diegel and Al Espinosa, Hagen and Wiffy Cox, Densmore Shute and Billle Burke. Sarazen, Diegel, Farrell and Hagen are veterans of all the Ryder Cup com- petition. Cox, Shute and Burke won places in the homebred ranks for the first time. The probable British pairings for to- morrow, based upon the way they hooked up in final practice rounds: Charles Whitcombe and Syd Easterbrook, Abe Mitchell and Fred Robson, Ernest Whit- combe and Bert Hodson, Archie Comp- ston and Billile Davies. One of these pairs may be replaced by Duncan and Arthur Havers, but it appeared likely these two would be reserved for the singles. The British are comparatively a much older group, averaging close to 40 years of age. e Americans are nearer the 30-year mark on the average. Duncan, 47,’is the oldest and Hodson, 25, the youngest of the invaders. Hagen, 39, and Horton Smith, 23, represent the e: tremes of age and youth on the Amer! can side. ‘While the competitors had a day of rest today, the newspaper men, critics, artists and journalistic associates waged a private war labeled the “Johnny Walker Cup” tournament. Nearly three battle with the bunkers. The British-American forces will be the guests of honor tonight at a civic ‘banquet. SEA SERPENT TRIUMPHS. THE CURRAGH, Ireland, June 25 (®)—H. S.

LYMPIA FIELD§ COUNTRY CLUB, Chicago, June 25— The Eastern strangle-hold on the national college golf tour- nament was shattered, for today at Jeast, but there were good prospects it would be re-established by nightfs \ Only three of the eight quarter-fini ists were from the Atlantic Seaboard, home of the meet heretofore, but they were as formidable as any contenders for the crown. ‘Headed by George Dunlap of Prince- ton, defending his crown, they num- bered Sidney Noyes and Tommy Ay cock of Yale, mighty men of the l{pn but the sole defenders of the “Big Three's” traditional prestige. Three ‘Ohio golfers, fighters every one, shared the upper bracket with Noyes as quarter-final round ‘matches of 36 holes were called today. His opponent was Robert Kepler, Ohio State's No. 2 man, who, like Noyes, was compelled to travel three ex holes yesterday before earning his way out of the second round. Noyes beat Milton Klein of Chicago and Kepler M won from Dick Martin of Illinois. ‘Medalist Defeated. In the other half of the bracket were Johnny Florio, ace of the Ohio State team, and James Reston, a Dayton, Ohio, boy representing the University of Illinois. Reston proved his plucki- ness yesterday by winning four of the last seven holes from Harry Eiche- berger of Stanford University to tri- umph by 1 up. Florio has long been known as a tough match player in the State where he was amateur champion in 1929. He threw a scare into an un- suspecting field yesterday by defeating the tournament medalist, Jack Reese of Yale, in the second round, 4 and 3.|T. Dunlap, wearing his title well during the strain of qualifying and the first|5- day of 18-hole matches, was assigned the task of whipping Bill Redmopd of Notre Dame.

Fuller was 16 strokes behind Fred Hitz, who was leading the pro- cession at the end of the third round with a total of 235. Sixteen strokes is far too large a margin to pick up in one round of golf, and Fuller was prac- :.:::;'Hy certain to lose his p ay. Four strokes behind Hitz came Rich- ard P.

BY WALTER R. McUALLUM. \HARLIE PENNA, caddie- master at Congressional, used to caddie for Tommy and Sandy Armour when the Armour boys were located as amateurs at the Westchester Bilt- more Country Club, near Rye, N. Y, a decade or so back. Charlie, then a husky little Ital- ian-American lad, used to carry those heavy golf bags on his sturdy shoulders and point out the line to the straight shooting Armours, all the while stuttering advice in his childish tongue and praying that they might win. His adoration of the Armours, and particularly Tommy, amounts to that of any youngster for a childhood hero. Now, if you want a real laugh, get Sandy Armour to tell you of Charlie ;:,nn-'l t moment as Tommy—his ro—was winning the British open championship, Charlie has developed into quite 8| golfer himself. He can knock & golf ball about as far as any one, but he hasn't yet developed the knack of hit- ting iron shots like Tomm his brother Sandy, even though he has had & better opportunity than most folks to observe their technique. As ‘Tommy drew near winning the British open, Charlie Penna kept a_telephone P! Now Charlie is inclined to stutter un. der stress of great excitement, and ac- cording to Sandy this was an occasion that brought out all the finesse in Charlie’ speech. Charlie was in his booth at the first tee, 100 yards or more away from the golf shop where Sandy, almost as much excited as Penna, listened for the reports from Tommy over at Carnoustle, 3,000 miles away. Excited Speechless. “He's even with Jurado, with six holes to go,” came the e over the wire to Charlie, and his excitement ounted. “Jursdo needs to finish 3, 4, 5 to win,” came another message. “Tommy 1is in, with a total of 296, and it looks as if he might win, but Jurado hss a chance,” came another ‘Then came an interval of a half hour or more. Tommy had finished and the others were struggling to catch him, over there in far-away Scot- land, where the tide-washed Barry Burn the hopes of a half dozen title contenders. Hm.lly came the flash over the wire: ‘. = 1 e. ‘Armour wins.’ verything, and up the path toward the golf shop. Nw let Sandy the s “flmm%,hhfmm flushed, and he was trying to talk. He couldn’t & word.

But S8andy took this bit of “kidding” mildly. “He can play it better n any of them,” he said. “Be- cause he knows how to hit golf shots.” You can go a long way and search a long time and never will you find a pair of admirers of any man like S8andy and Charlie Penna admire Tommy Armour. Sandy is going to accompany a group of Congressional members out to Toledo next week to see Tommy play in the open. Controller General McCarl and |Joseph E. Murphy and Thomas F. Flaherty all plan to go to the open. Clyde B. Asher and Sherman Ford of Columbia will be there also. -— D. C. PLAYERS DEFEATED Mrs. Martinez-Frances Walker Bow in Stirring Net Match.
