SP ORTS THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1932 SPORTS B—§ Pyne in Spotlight on Amateur Ring Card : Congressional Gets Open Golf Tryout L. U, STAR FACING BIG TEST TONIGHT Battles Jefferis, Quaker City Ace, in One of Ten Bouts at Ritchie Coliseum. D phia, light-heavyweights, arz in the spotlight as ‘Washington ring fans focus on tonight’s 10-bout show at Ritchie Coliseum, in which 20 crack ama- teurs will battle for Eastern A. A. U. honors. | Described as a ringman “with the ferocity end cunning of a tiger beneath the debohair appearance of a dancing master,” Jefferis is rated better than an even chance to end the winning streak of Dyne, who for two years has been undefeated as a college fighter. HILADELPHIA scribes say Jefleris‘ is the finest ring prospect the Quaker City has had in recent years. Pyne is bent upon winning a place on the American Olympic team and is confident of getting past Jefferis, a con- fidence heartily shared by his pals at Brookland. If this scrap doesn't produce a big thrill, the one to follow likely will make up for the disappointment. The heavy weight battle, finishing the card, will bring together the national intercol- legiate champicn, Duke Crinkley, a '31 graduate at the Naval Academy, and Jack Moran of Philadelphia, Middle Atlantic title holder and winner of 15 consecutive bouths. Crinkley has never been defeated, but folks who have seen both men in action are inclined to favor Moran, FLYWEIGHT scrap between Charles Villareale of New York, former Metropolitan champion, and John Schnapp of Baltimore, city, State and South Atlantic title holder, will open | the program .at 8 o'clock. Nearly all participants wear some scrt of crown or vaunt long winning streaks. Harry Berman, chairman of the Box- ing Committee of the Scuth Atlantic | A. A U, and Wiiliam Muruhy, secre- tary of the Metropolitan A. A. U, were delegated to get together the best amateur boxers in the East for the Celiseum card, which will be made an annual affair, and here’s the result of their endeavors.

A. U. Meet Final Tonight. | | Goldberg of vs. and Nagle By the Associated Press. ANSAS CITY, March 12—Try- ing for a third consecutive national basket ball title, the Henry team of Wichita, Kans., meets the Northwest Missouri Teachers of Maryville in the final round of the Amateur Athletic Union's annual tournament here tonight. At Maryville this season, the Col- legians defeated the A. A. U. cham-| pions, 18 to 16, in a tight defensive ex- | hibition game characteristic of the teachers’ march to the tournament Jones Uses Same Grip for His - Chip Shots as for Long Game; Thing, He States Comfort Big BY BOBBY JONES. The only man who ever held the American Amateur ‘and Open Championship and British_Amateur and Open Cham- pionship in ome vear. N the progression which we have chosen, from the short put to the full drive, as we leave the putting green we must think about the shortest of all approaches, the chip-shot. In a sense this is a transition point, for it is here that we first find it impractical to make some of the sacrifices to accuracy at the ex- | | pense of power which it was pos- | sible to make in putting. In many instances it is helpful to regard the chip as merely an elongated | putt, but the increased length of the stroke demands a method which will | make the clughead more easily controll- i able. This necessity first makes itself felt in placing the hands upon the club. I have previously described my putting grip with reverse overlap and hands directly opposed by placing both thumbs down the shaft. I have said that this grip improved my accuracy and touch on the putting green. But my attempts to extend the use of this grip into the chip shot have proved entirely unsuccessful. The firmer blow, the longer stroke, and the necessity at times of employing a little backspin, | all have convinced me that the grip which I use for the longer shots is best for the short approaches. Because it 1s futile to describe & method without first indicating how the club is to be held, this must be the proper place for an exposition of the grip which I employ from this point outward, even though the reasons for some features of it may not be devel- oped until later on. In so far as the position of my hands is concerned, after I leave the putting green there is no change in any particular. The habit formed from long usage has made these two grips the only two which I can | use with comfort, so that I never alter them for any Teason, Even the changes which T make for putting have become so perfectly natural that they come about wholly unonsciously. Differs From Putting Grip. 'HE grip here illustrated differs from my putting grip in these partic- ulars: Neither thumb is now on top of the shaft, whereas before both were down the top; each hand has been turned over the shaft, until more of the back | of each hand is visible from a location finals. The powerful, aggressive Henrys last | night had difficulty defeating the| Schuessler Athlet'c Club team from | Chicago, but finally ran up a decisive | 32-to-26 advantage after having been behind in the scoring several times. In the other semi-final game, the Maryville Teachers took a close, but clean-cut decision, 22 to 18, over the Southern Kansas stage lines cagers of Wichita who, as practice scrimmage | opponents of the Henrys, have under- studied the champions all season. Schuessler A. C. and the Stage Lines crew will play for third place in a pre- liminary to the championship game If the Henrys defeat the Maryville | | team tonight they will be the first team to have won three A. A. U. national basket ball titles. Several organizations | have won twice. If Maryville wins, it will be the third college aggregation to take the title| since the tournament was moved here in 1921, Butler University of Indianap- olis won in 1924 and Washburn College, Topeka, Kans., in 1825.

ANNEXES BASKET TROPHY Bethesda-Chevy Chase Is Victor in Rockville Tourney. ROCKVILLE, March 12.—Bethesda- Chevy Chase High School basket ball team defeated Damascus High, 26 to 17, to win the Sportsmanship trophy in the annual tournament conducted by Rock- ville High, here last night. Bethesda previously had defeated Rockville, 21 to 13, and Damascus had eliminated Poolesville, 20 to 32. Principal Schott of Rockville mflh presented the Bethesda team with the silver trophy following the deciding game. BIG SOCCER TILT LISTED n | Marlboro Will Play North Point| Club of Baltimore. UPPER MARLBORO, March 12— Marlboro's strong soccer team will meet directly in front of the player, and, | lastly, the overlap has been reversed so that now it is the little finger of the right hand which rides the index finger of the left. This grip is essen- | tially more powerful than the putting | | grip, as it must be, for it is to control end “sense” the clubhead through a swing at the utmost speed the player can attain. Although certain of these features are not of especial importance in play- ing a chip-shot, it may be well to indi- cate briefly what they are intended to accomplish. The turn of the left hand toward the top of the shaft places it in a more powerful position, from which it is not likely to cause the left arm to fold up in the act of hitting and where it is better able, without too much as- sistance from the right, to bring the | club back against the ball in its proper alignment. The overlap makes the grip more compact and further strengthens the left hand relatively because it weakens the right. Right Hand Well Over Shaft. HESITATE to stress too strongly the position of my right hand, for while | the turnover of the left hand and the overlap are not unusual, very few really good players allow their right hands to creep so far over the shaft as mine. The virtue in the practice for me is that from this position the right gives me less trouble. It is not so | likely to turn over farther and it is not | 50 easiiy able to take command of the stroke. If I drop it the least bit toward the back of the shaft I begin to hook very badly. The beginner should take note espe- BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

The club is gripped by the fingers but it does not ie wholly in the fingers. The grip by the fingers is very important, indeed, but a further admonition must be | sounded in order that one may not, as | s0 many are inclined to do, lay the club along the second joint of every finger. When I take hold of a golf club I feel a great firmness in the fin- gers of my left hand; the three fingers of my right hand grip the club posi- tively but their grip is not so taut as that of the left, although there is a fair amount of pressure exerted by the in- dex finger; neither thumb does more than restrain the club so that its posi- tion will not change The side view below clearly indicates the tension in the left-hand grip and the comparative ease in the right, par- ticularly along the length and base of | the thumb. The angle of the line | also indicates that the club would lie diagonally across the outstretched hand, and not across the joints of the fingers. The profile showing the top line of the left hand and wrist substantiates this, for if the club lay entirely in the fin- gers, this line would be arched upward, a fault which is very commonly seen.

HE sectional qualification | rounds in the Middle Atlan- tic sector for the National Open Golf Championship will be played at the Congressional Country Club on June 6. Presi- dent David L. Thomson of the District Golf Association, after| conferring with officials of the| Congressional Club, has written to ‘| the United States Golf Association notifying it of the decision to award the sectional rounds for the | open to Congressional, and the! U. 8. G. A. has acknowledged re- ceipt of the letter in a manner that expresses the complete satis- faction of the national golf body | with the choice of Congressional | as the venue of the sectional rounds. This means that on June 6 some- | where in the neighborhood of half a hundred golf professionals drawn from Maryland, the District of Columbia, Vir- ginia and North Carolina will gather at Congressional to contest for three or nior | more places in the national open tour- | te8m and Hughes of Ninth No. 1 are nd | ney itself, which will be played at the | Close behind with paces above 109. Fresh Meadow Club of Flushing, Long | Island, June 23, 24 and 25, when Billy Burke of Greenwich, Conn., will defend his championship. For a time there was some talk of the open qualifying | rounds in this section going to Colum- | bia, but Chairman George P. James of | the Columbia Country Club Golf Com- mittee says his club never has been offi- cially approached by any golf organiza- tion concerning the award of the quali- fication rounds to Columbia. The Congressional Country Club of- fered its course to the U. S. G. A. for the sectional rounds, through the Dis- | trict of Columbia Golf Association, and the offer was accepted. The sectional qualification rounds for the national | amateur championship will go to the Chevy Chase Club on a date in August. This rounds out the program of the District Golf Association embarked upon | last Fall, when President Thomson wrote the United States Golf Associa- tion that the National Capital would like the sections qualification rounds for both the major championships in 1932— the Washington Bicentennial year. 'TRANGELY enough, it is likely that a few of the local professionals who | hope to compete in the national open will not play at Congressional, but will go either to Pittsburgh or to Phila- more places open for the qualifiers than there will be at Congressional. Never, since qualification rounds for the open were inaugurated, have there been more than three places open to the profes- sionals and amateurs who enter from this section, while at Pittsburgh there nine, and at Philadelphia there are usually six or more places open. The pros believe that the more places there are the more chance they have to qualify, and so a few of them each year have gone to Pittsburgh or Phila- never before have been held at a Wash- ington club. Richmond is the closest spot to Washington at which the sec- tional rounds have been played, and with the tests to be held right on the doorstep of the Capital, it may be that all the eligible men in this sector will play at Congressional. The same rule applies to the open that applies to the amateur. That is, the more entries there are, the more places will be awarded. If there are 50 entries at Congressional, there may be four or five places, while if there are only 30 | entries there probably will not be more | | than three places. AST year the sectional rounds for the open in this section were held at the James River course of the | Country Club of Virginia. Al Houghton | of Kenwood was the only local pro to make the grade. J. Munro Hunter and Freddie McLeod went to Pittsburgh and both qualified there to enable the Capi- tal to have three contestants in the na- tional open at Toledo. The sectional rounds for both the open and the ama- teur championships will be run off under the direction of the District of Columbia Golf Association. ‘The annual meeting of the Distriet association is to be held Monday night at the Racquet Club at 8 o'clock and a | quiet meeting is predicted. This year is far different from past years, when the District asseciation frequently had to go to considerable juggling of dates to get all the tournaments into line | without conflict of dates. This year there are only two invitation tourneys scheduled in the S?rlng and one in the Fall and there will be no scramble for the best dates. The Army-Navy Coun- try Club will hold a tourney early in May, and the Chevy Chase Club will hold a tourney during the third week in May. The Middle Atlantic Golf As- sociation champlonship is scheduled for the Columbia Country Club on June 7, 8, 9 and 10. Golfing bridge players of the Wash- | participated in two contract bridge tourneys, now are to compete in & con- tract bridge event for the club cham- plonship. The tourney will start next Monday night at the club house, with entries to close tomorrow. The eight leading pairs in the play tomorrow will g0 on to the finals, which will be played on March 21 and March 28, with cups to be awarded to the championshin pair and the runners-up. The com- mittee in charge of the tourney is com- posed of D. C. Gruver, chairman; A.| B. Galt, E. P. Brooke and O. L. Veer- hoff. An interclub bridge tourney be- tween Washington and Baltimore is in | prospect, with negotiations going on between spokesmen for the two clubs. CLUB officials today have before them a proposal made by that pepper-pot of professional golf and pro- moter extraordinary, Bob Harlow, pub- licity director for the Professional Golf- ers’ Association, to hold the P.

While the club is flattered by the , considerable thought must be given to the matter before a decision is reached. Harlow will be in Washington around April 1. He usually stops in Washing- ton for a day or two immediately fol- lowing the North and South open. A: | that time he will confer with Kenwood officials on the proposed tourney, and also will bring before the Washington Bicentennial Commission a proposal to hold a big open_tourney as one of the features of the Bicentennlal year. Four years ago, when the P. G. A. event was held at Baltimore, the Balti- more Country Club guar:mecd the sum of $10,800 to the P. G. A., to be returned out of the gate receipts. Operating | costs were borne by the Baltimore | Country Club. An early decision in the | matter of the P. G. A. tourney will be made by Kenwood.
