SPORT Ww - Youth Is Real Threat in Amateur Golf : Quick Fadeout for Borotra Is Predicted KOCSIS, 19, PROVES HE'S TITLE TIMBER Wolverine, Who Beat Armour After a Tie, “Dark Horse” in National Event. - BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, August 10—It might be well to ke:p a weather eye on Charles Kocsis when our amateur golfers begin the scramble for the national championship at Beverly C. C. late this month. Charles Kocsis is a 19-year-old youngster from Redford, Mich., and judged from every angle is quite a golfer. He well may be the fellow who will pick up the amateur crown, for he has the game. Kocsis became hot as one of the dark horses in the national amateur when he won the Michigan open champion- ship. Winning the Michigan open does not present the young man in the role of another Jones, but his ac- complishment assumed added luster when it is recalled he first tied no less of a golfer than Thomas Dixon Armour and then beat the black Scot in the | play-off. That is a task few of our erack professionals willingly would un- dertake. Even 4s for 72 Holes, Kocsis and Armour tied in the open with a total of 288. In even fours for- the 70 holes, golf, but it held no terrors for troft school boy.' In the play-off turned in a 73 against Armour’s 74 & score of one over fours for 90 of championship golf is not to be taken lightly. Koesis, who is short and rather stotky, made his national debut in the 1930 amateur at Merion Cricket Club. Unknown outside of the Detroit dis- trict, where he starred as a member of the M“Thfl High School 3'and 2, and then Kocsis became a of some im) 3 e second round Billy McPhail of ‘Bostori put him back mtgl:ircuhflan a 6 and 4 nmmfi Bt'xft t" mng: -l showed enoug o regard of the most exbotin g oritics.

TILDEN, 24, ‘Worldd Professional Tennis Champion. ECENT tourneys have produced | several interesting developments in the tennis game, chief among i them the much-dened but oft- | repeated rumor that Henri Cochet W\ll} desert the amateur ranks to join us| in the pro tennis fleld. I was interested to see that I was sald to be the instrument that impelled the Cochet change. My only knowl- edge of the matter has been gained en- tirely in the columns of the press, but | maybe they are right. This much is| certain, If Cochet has joined us I| have a valuable volunteer whose as- sistance I gladly welcome. ‘However, somehow or other, I doubt my good fortune. Still there cannot be such a smoke screen around Cochet without somé professional fire and I think that Jack Curley probably is in close touch with Cochet, but not for me, only himself. SBhould Curley entice Cochet to pro | tennis, the U. 8. L. T. A. and the ama- | teur governing bodies of other nations desirous of winning the vis Cu should vote a gmemus donation to him | as a sign of their appreciation for his | work in beating the champion, a job which seems to be too big for any nation at the moment. Somehow believe Cochet will be in professional tennis by next year. Mrs. Moody Dominates. The second item of interest is the “complete collapse” of the game of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody as proved by her “narrow " from defeat at the hands of Miss Helen Jacobs, who forced her to the limit of 12 games, 6—0, 6—0, in the Seabright final. Never has Mrs. Moody so completely dominated the picture in women'’s ten- nis as at the moment. She seems to be playing with as great severity but greater variety than ever before and there is every reason to believe she will regain the American singles title with- out the loss of a set. The only girl capable of possibly ex- tending her is Cilly Aussem of Ger- many, who won the French and Wimbledon championships, but, un- fortunately, Miss Aussem will not be with us this year. Miss Betty Nuthall, the defending United States champion, | might hit a streak that would do well | , Doubts Cochet Will Join Pros; Mrs. Moody Severe Queen; Vines Shining against Mrs. Moody, but one cannot see her as a possible victor over the great Californian. Vines Established Place. The third items of importance was Elisworth Vines' second John Doeg, which pretty well éstab- lishes Vines a8 the leading player of those who have pleyed the United States season. It remains to be seen what our returning Davis Cup stars will do, but at the moment Vines must Q‘: accorded the leading position, witl Doeg next. The big invitation events are at their height and by the end of | Newport next week the logical winner of the national singles may be pretty well_established. Junior Coen’s victory over John Van Ryon, coupled with several fine matches, notably one in which he took a set from Vines and another in which he pushed Doeg to the limit, shows that the Kansas City boy is once more find- ing his real game. If he holds this he will be a real factor in the coming weeks. Marion Jessup’s brilliant effort, when she took seven games from Mrs. Mdody, D | shows she is still a very great player. The remarkable performance of Midge Gladman Van Ryn at Easthampton in beating Mrs. Jessup in the semi-final and Mrs. Sheppard-Barron in the final 1| stamps her as advancing close to the front rank. Disappointments of Year. ‘The diSappointments of the year so far are Marjorie Morrill, Sarah Palfrey and, to a slightly lesser extent, Mary Greef. All these girls seem to be suf- fering from “first ten-itis” and are so full of theor d strokes that they are not playing winning tennis. All three of them are far better tennis players than their records so far this year would indicate. Once more Virginia Hilleary rises above a mediocre game to prove that tennis matches can be won by more than strokes. Well, the national championships, men’s and women’s, are at hand, and in a few weeks the whole story will be told. I suggest that Mrs. Moody and either Vines or Wilmer Allison be matched for the singles, with Lott and Doeg successfully defending in the doubles.

In| addition to the proposed invita- tion event of the Army-Navy Country Club, and the propable Congressicnal | Country Club tourney, officials of the Annapolis Roads Golf Club are talk- ing about holding an invitation tourncy | n October, when tne ccurse will be in its best condition.
