Which prompts the question: Washington lagging behind in the out- put of young golf stars? Gene Larkin and Bob Barnett of | Chevy Chase think the Capital is far behiud some other cities in its crop of younger golf stars. They hold that | the main reason Washington does not | produce many youngsters who figure |in tbe large tournaments and become outstanding golfers when they reach | mature age is because the material | from the caddie ranks around Wash- |ington is limited. Their argument has | & sound basis in fact, too, for of the caddies around Washington, what pro- | portion would you think are white honoring the individuals accord- ; boys who would have a chance 1o go ing to their ranking in the game, | while others are nominated in alphabetical order. Of those named in the first 10 for the 1930 championship at Merion, only five will appear at Beverly, but nine of the second group will be contenders in the qualifying rounds, which gives the U.

And the sectional qualifying test. Harrison Johnston, the 1929 champion, forfeited his place among the top rankers by fail- ing to qualify for the 1830 cham,iun- ship, which leaves Francis Ouimet, Johnny Goodman and Dr. O. F. Willing as the real survivors of last year's first rankings. Egan Lone Casualty.

Dunlap, Eugene Homans, | Johnny Lehman, Maurice McCarthy, | Roland Mackenzie, Maxwell Marston, T. Phillip Perkins and C. Ross Somer- ville, the Canadian, all will be in the qualifying rounds at Beverly. To that group the U. 8. G. A. is cer- tain to add Charles Seaver of Los An- geles, and to fill out the necessary 20 may nominate Lawson Little of San Prancisco, Eddie Driggs of New York, Charles Kocsis of Detroit and Pay Coleman of Los Angeles. Homan and Seaver are assured of &wu among the first 10 on the seeded by virtue of their play at Merion last year, when the first named player went to the finals after earning a close over the Californian in the semi-finals. Little, Driggs, Kocsis and Coleman appear to be the most worthy players in the field for the remaining h.:'“;"- ’:mclh 'fiw U. 8. G. A onship Committee may think otherwise. Veigt May Be No. 1. It will be interesting to note the | | the big part of their success as young- | sters was the fact that they also, at the age of 16 or 17, were able to hold | their own in the major tournaments for seniors, too. But these days the juniors are under an eclipse, To be sure, one or two of them are capable of going somewhere in top notch golf about Washington, but even these are nearing the age when they no longer will be juniors. Such lads as Monro Hunter, Tommy Bones and Jack Powell will not be juniors much longer. Among the juniors who will be sligible for the junior champlonship for sev- eral years yet, the Manor Club has two of the outstanding youngsters.

If Homans | s ranked No. 1, t] necessarily Scaver must be placed at No. 2 position after | the hard battle he gave the New Yorker. | ‘T. Phillip Perkins also is deserving of | a high ranking. The former British | ch.m&lon not only topped the amateur | brigade in the recent national open, but also was ahead of all the British Ryder | Cup players in the final calculations. | Perkins also won several sectional events during the last year, and is one | of the best amateur golfers in the | country. | The first 10 is certain to include | Voigt, Homans, Seaver, Perkins, Leh- | man, who went to the semi-finals of| the Western amateur; George Dunlap, | the national collegiate champion: Mau- rice McCarthy, likely to find a place, | and Coleman, Ouimet and Goodman may be the others. | Regardless of the personnel of the seeded list and how the first 10 are ranked, the amateur front will lack the strength it carried in the days when Jones, Von Eim and Sweetser were eetive participants. After the seedings are complied there is no assurance that more than one-half of the selections will qualify for the championship.
