N D2 SPORTS, SECOND SHOT SEEN AS TELLING FACTOR Three Given Edge for Their | Prowess in Making Long Pokes to Green. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. LUSHING, N. Y, June 23— Some golfer with the knack | of fading in a long second | shot to the green is going to win this national open golf championship, which started to- | day over Frosh Meadows' 7,000 yards of well trapped fairway No course for a hooker, this Fresh Meadows layout, unless he | can hook them in and make them stick, and hooked balls usually don't stick. | That is why, as the championship gets under way today, it appears as if the 1932 open title is going to Ge von Elm. Billy Burke or Tommy Ar- mour. These men have the habit of | fading their second shots into these tightly trapped greens, and unless some other gent discovers the secret of bang- ing those second shots in with a_tail- end fade, my hunch is that the cham- pionship lies among these three. As usual, all the boys will bewail the | puits they missed and the bad breaks | they had, but the real stcry of this| hip will lie eround the sec- dow is strictly a secon t lay d one that takes | a ball well up in the air with a lot of spin on it. And in my opinion when | pay-off time comes next Saturday after- noon, George von EIm will be in there. | Notwithstanding a heavy rain two deys | ago, the course is fairly fast. Armour and Sarazen both had 705 yesterd but they don't pay off on yesterday's scores. OTH Bobby Barnett and Gene Lar- kin, the Chevy Chase professionals, beliove that & score somewhere | around 202 will win the title. All the local entrants have found the course | plenty tough, but all five of them start- ed today hopeful of qualifying for the final day of play on Saturday. So far they have not been serious about their . but today they have to be. No are conceded today, as the scores count in the i The W: | ( s are Barnett and Larkin, A of Kenwcod, Archie Clark of Congressional and Neil sShorey of Potomac Park. This is the second consecutive tour- nament in which the pros are not troubled by the Jones complex. Bobby is here, but Je is not playing. He has lest 30 pounds and is a slim little fel- | law.

HING, N.

An- | other was that Billie Burke of Green- | Wich, Conn., the defending champion had been overlooked almost col % in adval leulations that had b- lished Sarazen, Britis open chempion, and Tco Dicgel, the peculiar p from Agua Calicnte, as out- standing favorites Sarazen, who gave fair warning ves- terday he was out to duplicate Bobby Jones' feat of winning both the British and Americen opens. was peired with Billie Burke for the opening rounds. | They were scheduled to start at 5‘15‘ i am., right behind Diegel and Densmore Shut. | Other crack pairs to follow mcluded‘ Macdonald Smith and George von Elm, | last year's runner-up: Jose Jurado of | Argentina and Bobl!

ACK WHITE, who putted himself into a British open champion- plonship 28 years ago, practiced short putts until it was unthinkable for him to miss one. His style is seldom seen now, for he bent his body above the Lips pronouncedly, while our stars bend only a little bit, usually. As we excel the modern British at putting, our method must be the best. Still, if you are having trouble with short putts, you may find White’s plan to be just what you nced He rtood with bis bead directly over tho line of tte putt, th> ball off the toe of his left foot and his right foot behind the ball. With his putter at address, its toe and the tce of his right shoe projected over the direction line approximately the + same distance. He put his weight on his left foot. This stance forces a very short backswing. In fact, it can't be called a swing. You merely tap the ball, and there is no follow through. The left wrist takes the club back and the right hand attends to the tapping. If the clubface is kept square with the direction line, which the stance iruticauy insures, all is well if you hit with proper firmness. The ball hugs the ground and goes straight. Putting is half the game. Joe Glass has prepzred a fine leaflet on putting, which he will send free to any realer sending stamped, ad- dressed envelope, care of The Star. (Copyright, 1932.) D. C.

TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F Yardage and Par Youthful Parker Again Bars ' Lott’s Path to Tennis Crown By the Associated Press HICAGO, June 23 Lott found the sal > his path once again today as he drove on for more honors |in the tennis world, the Western sin- gles title. | "His quarter - final opponent was | Frankie Parker, 16-year-old sencation | from Milwaukee, who made the sec- | ond ranking star of the United States work overtime in a five-set match to | win the Tri-State singles at Cincinnati | only last Sunday. Lott. because of his | greater experience, was the favorite, but | anticipated the toughest kind of a | battle. 5 Parker dropped oniy four games in his rush to the quarter-final and was labeled by all the stars at the Western as a contender for the natio:al crown within & few years. Fast, agile and smart, he has developed his game so rapidly that today he played “first-ten tennis” and played it exceedingly well Both Lott and Parker have sailed along into the quarter-finals without hitting a wave, Lott disposing of Frank | O'Connell, Chicago star, by margins of | 6—1, 6—3, yesterday and Parker dupli- | cating his feat in lost games by trounc- |ing_“Doc” Barr of Dalles, Tex., 6—2, 6—2. Another feature match on the da | cerd found the "defending champion, | Harris Coggeshall of Des Moines, Iowa, paired against Gil Hell, sccond in the seeded list only to Lott. Hall landed in the quarter-finals with a 11—9, 6—3 victory over John McDiarmid of Fort | Worth, Tex., and Coggeshall joined him by defeating “Lefty” Bryan, Chatta- nooga, Tenn., 7—5, 7—5. in a match that saw almost every game go to deuce. | Junior Coen of Kansas City was | matched against “Pritz” Mercur of Beth- le] Pa., in another struggle, while | the fourth match was still undecided | as to rivals. Les Stoefen of Los Angeles | walted around all day yesterday to| plsy his mateh for the right to enter | | the quarter-finals, but two local boost- ers aidn't get arcund to the task of | settling their second-round tussels, so he had to wait some more. He was & | favorite to go far, almost certainly into the quarter-final Tound. START M. A.
