TITLIST GETS POST ON BEVERLY GAME Perkins Is Second on List, Howell Third—Voigt Is Rated Ninth, Amateur Rating Prancis Ouimet. T. Phillip Perkins. William Howell, Don Moe. . Jack Westland. Maurice Mc! . George Dun . Charles Sea 9. George Voigt. 310 Arthur Yates. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS, HICAGO, November Ranking the amateur golf- ers of the United States for 1931 offers more than Rn ordinarily difficult task. Bob Jones, Jess Syeetser and several other of the old standbys either were out of competition or else failed to display their customary skill. The wild upheaval in the mational amateur championship further added to the complexity of the situation and many of the Jeading players engaged in only limited competition during the SBummer. Conseéquently no rank- ing of the amateur stars can be satisfactory to every one. Prancls Oulmét, as the 1931 amateur champion, demands, of course, and gets the No. 1 ranking. Ouimet's great play at Beverly entitles him to lead the amateur field again after a lapse of 17 years, and none but a great golfer could have successfully fought his way through the melee at Chicago in Sep- tember. Perkins Placed Second. ‘The writer votes second place to T. Phillip Perkins, the Americanized Briton, It is true that Perkins did not quality for the amateur champion- ship, but he was the leading amateur in the national open at Inverness, and there he played some of the best golf seen in the champlonship. Perkins also won numerous sectional tournaments and has thoroughly established himself ims one of the best amateur players in the game. Third place is voted to Billy Howell of Richmond, Va. The boy from the ©Old Dominion was the sensation of the 1931 amateur, and while very much a youngster, has me that made a deep impression all golf crities. Howell gave Ouimet his hardest match at Beverly and won three sectional| championships through the Summer. Many of these ng golfers turn out | to be only flashes, but Howell's game is sound, and he unquestionably will de- ."l‘lop into one of our leading amateur rs. Although Don Moe of Portland failed to qualify for the amateur, his scores in ‘llhe sec far bet- ter than many of those who qualified in less difficult sectors, and the writer ranks him fourth. Moe won the West- ern amateur from a star field and is, on past performances, one of our best players. ‘Westland Chicago Star. Jack Westland of Chicago, runner-up to Ouimet, is rated fifth. In besting layers like Dunlap, Yates and Mc- ‘arthy the Chicagoan was forced to shoot a lot of fine golf. He has been | the outstanding player in the Chicago | district for several seasons and has a veg‘ sound game. x ..l THAT woN'T FIGHT i e gl € OWNER OF A DOG ©193! N.Y.TRIBUNE, ive.

McCarthy reached the semi-finals of the amateur and has been a topnotch player over | a period. George Dunlap of New York is rated mext to McCarthy. Dun-‘ lap has won the national intercollegiate | champlonship for two consecutive years | and has been a star in some of the most important sectional tournaments. Then comes Charlie Seaver of Los| les. Seaver tied for the medal at Beverly and although.he was defeated in the first round gave the appearance of being a better golfer than in 1930, ‘when he went to the semi-finals of the championship at Merion Cricket Club. Voigt Pieked Ninth, George Voigt is rated ninth, although he accomplished but little in the ama- teur championship. But Voigt made a Aine showing in the British amateur and he still stands es one of the finest amateur golfers in the world. Arthur Yates of Rochester also must be in- cluded among the season's best. tied for medal honors in t plonship: defeated Seaver and Westland to the home green. It was Yates' best year in golf, for he was prominent in numerous sectional events This ranking does not give a place to such fine plavers as Johnny Good- man, Eugene Homans, Gus Moreland, Fay Coleman and many others. But it is an open season for rankings and none are official. The writer's rankyggs were made with the assistance of %v- eral well known golf officials, who made a considerable study of the matter.

By the Associated Press, OLLYWOOD, Calif, November 3.—The big league base ball players of the future, in the | belief of George Herman Ruth, will come mainly from the sandlots of the South, the Southwest and California, where base ball can be played through- out the year. The “Mighty Babe” is here to start work on a series of short films explain- ing how he plays the game and does those things with a bat. “A kid who wants to be a ball player has to start early,” says Ruth, “and work hard at it. I was playing ball almost as soon as I could run around. You can't make a good ball player in just a few years.” College base ball is not contributing much to the leagues, and will not in the future, declares the Babe, one rea- son being that the college ball player usually goes in for other sports, in. cluding foot ball, and is burned out athletically by the time he finishes school. Ruth, in the game 18 years, wants to | make it an even 20 before he quits. Asked if he would like to own a club | then, he said, “No, but I might manage one.” And I 'want to take things easy for 'a while, too, when I do quit.” FAILS TO PICK LEADER Pacific Coast League Temporarily Adjourns After Deadlock.

McCALLUM. S the vanguard of the traveling golf professionals who will vlay | in the National Capital Open at | Kenwood Golf and Country Club this week end came into Wash- ington today, and took practice whirls over the course, it became increasingly plain that despite the innocuous ap- pearance of the layout the boys are go- ing to have putter trouble during the 54-hole tourney next Saturday and Sun- day. We never have been to a big tourna- ment of any kind where the chief com- plaint whs not in some way directed against putting. The boys would ac-| tually have it, to belleve them, that the | cup moved on the greens as the ball neared it, or that some unkind genii of golf ralsed mounds of grass in front of | the cup which shecred the ball away from the hole. In any event, no matter what the complaint may be at any particular | tournament, it generally can be covered by “putter trouble.” | Those who hope to cop the lion’s share of the $2,550 purse to be put up by the club for the Kenwood Open will have all kinds of putter trouble if the | greenskeeper leaves the cups next Satur- | day and Sunday in the same spots they are in today. And he can do it, too. There is much putting green left on all the 18 greens quite as tricky as the spots in which the cups are cut toda: if he wants to slide the scores up a notch or two. Kenwood locks easy, and it is easy, if the ball is hit straight and far, but when a man's putter misbehaves what can he do about it? If he hits a putt straight for the hole and a hidden curve in the green slides it off 3 feet below the cup and he misses coming back, he won't be so bold with his next bid. 'OMMY ARMOUR, Clarence Gam- ber and a few more of the big shots in golf were to arrive in Washington today to begin their prac- tice sessions over the Kenwood course, but the main question at Kenwood was: “Will Walter Hagen be here?” Every one agrees that the tournament will be a success even if Hagen does not show up, but they also aver that some of the interest in the tourney will be missing if “The Old Duke” does not appear for the tourney. Knowing Walter's reputation for late appear- ances, they believe Hagen will come here, but not in time for practice over th Kenwood layout in advance of the | tourney. Kenwood has a half dozen holes on which good golfers should be rapping in birdies occasionally. But it also has a half dozen holes where it is fairly simple to slide over par—holes like the first and second, fifth and tenth. In the main, however, thq course lends itself to accurate hitting¥ which need not be particularly long. Our prediction is that the man who can bang in all the three and four- footers will win the tournament and that the winnig total will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 214 strokes. Par for the three rounds of the layout is 210 and probably one or more of the sharpshooters will bust the par of 70 wide open for a round or so. But to cling close to par for three rounds is something else again. Any man who goes around that Kenwood course in 70 wallops will be doing a sweet bit of putting. The greens are big enough, but that is not at all an argumet for par golf. Sometimes it is far easier to play a chip shot than a long ap- proach putt. 4 AROUND those cups as they are lo- cated today are all sorts of tricky rolls and delicate undulations. A golf ball may roll right up to the lip of the cup and then curl away fast, leaving a three-footer coming back, and it doesn't help the mental stability of any golfer to come so close to holing a putt and then find a curling three- lm’}_'flr facing him. e approaches to the puttin on the last nine have Just been sodded and watered and are so soft that a ball hit to the approach will stay there, not bounce on the green. So the pitch shot must hit on the green with enough bite to stay. It all adds to the tricki- ness of the layout. As the tourney stands today, it will have the finest entry of any opin !\'mé ever held about Washington, barring the National Open at Columbia in 1921, | In it will be at least a half-dozen for- mer National Open golf champions, half a hundred men who can drive them far and straight, as many who can pitch with the best of them. But the tournament will go to the man who has the best putting touch. Up to the green most of the pros play about the same type of game. But | the man who can knock in all the threel | and four footers will win, | _ We think a man like John Farrell or Sarazen, who can chip and putt to the queen’s taste, will win the tournamen Authorized Service Carter Carburetors— Eclipse—Bendix— Lockheed Brakes MILLER-DUDLEY CO. 1716 14th St. N.W. pen Until 1 A, ENTERT"”MENT A AND | ILAM. to § P.M. 50c 5c DANCING EVERY EVENING | Ritter, Newark, N.
