2 * THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MARCH 12, .1933—PART FIVE. Kenwood to Hold April Pro Golf Tilt : Simmons’ Condition Buoys Chisox Hopes SEEKING SARAZEN, DUDLEY FOR CARD Invaders Would Be Met by Houghton, McLeod—Tour- ney Plans Tomorrow. K coming organization near | Bethesda and sponsor of | the National Capital cpen cham- | pionship the past two years, plans to open the golf season with a bang early in April with an exhi- bition match starring a quartet of the Nation’s better known players. The match will be held, according to plans now maturing, cn a Sunday in April shortly after the Norfolk open —probably on April 9—and Gene Sara- zen, American and Eritish open title holder, and Ed Dudley, the suave, hand- some pro at Al ta National Club, are being conside for the affair. Against the two importations from outside of Washington will be pitted Al Houghton, Maryland open champion and co-holder of the Mid-South title, who probably will have Fred McLeod of Columbia as a partner. Houghton and McLeod should make & combination strong enough to hold its own with any pair, for Houghtcn is the king-pin cf local professional golf and Freddie is at his best right now. Just who will come here for the match has not yet been definitely cet- tled, but the match is a practical cer- | tainty, even if Sarazen and Dudley are | not obtained. Y HE much-muddled tournament sit- uation around Washington is to be cleared within the next 36 hours. Tournoament dates for the two fixtures staged annually by the Mid- dle Atlantic Golf Association were set last night at the annual meeting of that organization and tomorrow night solons of the District Golf Asscciation will settle on the dates for its three tour- neys and award dates for the invitation events to be played around Washington year. At present it looks as if there wil be four invitation tourneys during the coming Spring—those of Army-Navy Country Club, Chevy Chase Ciub, Co- lumbia Country Club and Manor Club. ‘Washington has' announced definitely | it will not hold 4 tourney, Indian Spring probebly will not, and it is virtually certain that Woodmont will nct stage its annual fixture. Columbia’s delegates will attend the District association meeting and ask for a date, but it is not a certainty that the club will hold a tournament. As the set-up now stands, the tourney at Columbia—if one is held—will be staged by a grcup of members rather than by the club as a whole. Many of the members are reluctant to abandon the Columbia tourney and rather than relinquish it entirely, plan to stage the event themselves, with the sanc- tion of the club. EMBERS of the Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers’ Association | are to gather at Kenwood on Tues- day to thresh out certain merchandising problems which have come up during ‘the Winter. Bob Barnett, who will suc- ceed Ralph Beach as president of the sectional professional body, is at. Miami and the pros probably will not hold an election his absence. The meeting will be followed by a tournament, if ‘weather conditions permit. Alex Pindlay, one of the better known pros among the old guard, visit- ed Chevy Chase a few days ago and filled Bill Hardy full of so many golf yarns that Bill still is in a daze trying to figure them out. During his visit Findlay 'induced Hardy to part with one or two ancient and venersble golf clubs which he plans to present to & golf museum. Findlay came to Washington after a visit to the golf museum which has recently been set up at Newport News. Among the yarns Findlay told was that for more than two decades he went ‘without & hole-in-1, despite his demon- strated golf skill, and then, while tour- ing New England, he bagged three BY W. R.

James | of, 1920 8 street, who pleads for the re- | turn of the old “rabbit ball” and at the | same time decries in a letter to The Star the many legis ~tive changes that are proposed in the game of golf. Pointing out that every popular game must contend with a mania for change, from foot ball through bowling and wrestling to golf, James asks whether the U. S. G. A. solons gave us the old ball back after protests against the “halloon ball” of 1931 had reached a Nation-wide chorus. “I vearn for the good old days of the/ ‘rabbit ball',” he says. “If only the moguls of golf would give g little consideration to the golfer who keeps the game going and would only adhere to the doctrine of leaving ‘well enough alone. “T ask the question: What is to be gained by now changing the size of the golf cup? Is there any protest from the rank and file over the present cup? If s0, I haven't heard of it. So far as 1 can judge, this suggestion emanated from certain professionals. In other ‘words, can't we curb this fanattcal de- sire for always desiring changes? “Give us a restoration to the happy days of the old ball when drives were more frequent than they are today and when a round on the links sent us home | unmindful of the world’s woes as we lived over those 250-yard drives. Where contentment ruled the fairways of the land in the good old days, the air fairly Teverberates now with utterances of disgust as the ball soars into a yawning trap for a prodigious drive of almost 125 yards. . “I tell you there ’ain't no justice.” There just ain’t any. I wonder if many golfers in Washing‘on agroe with my arguments. If so, I wish we could unite to preserve the game from falling into pitfalls dug by chronic ‘changers.’” e e WHEATLEY “Y” GIRLS WIN.

' TERDAY we pointed out how the loosening of the left thumb at the top of the backswing will allow the shaft to drop down into the V between the left thumb and forefinger, destroying control. This suggests pointing out & function of the right-hand grip at this stage of the swing. The right hand begins, now, to figure prominently. It must main- tain the finger grip. It must func- tion firmly, though it must not pinch the shaft so hard that flexibility will be destroyed. If it is loose it will let the shaft drop into the V formed by its thumb and forefinger. At the top of the backswing the right hand’s function is largely cne of support and control. It must help to keep the shaft and clubhead in position to start down properly. So don't let the right hand finger grip be too locse. If you do, the action skotched in drawing No. 1 above will result. This is wrong. The hands at the top should keep the shaft up, as Johnny Farrell’s !fia.ndzs are shown to be doing in 0. 2. Unless you understand the pivot you cannot hope to shoot good golf.

EW YORK, March 11.—Baced by Gregory B. Mangin, defending champion, eight. seeded players marched with wvarying degrees of difficulty today through the first round of the annual indoor tennis cham- plonships as 64 young battled All over eight coutts in the 7th Regiment Armory. All told, the top eight lost only one set. George M. Lott, jr. of Chicago, No. 5, ne an extra set to down the stubborn resistance of Harold MacGufiin of Philadelphia, 4—6, 6—2, 6—3. Sidney B. Wood, jr, ranked No. 4 nationally and seeded in the same posi- tion here, locked in a brisk duel with young Edward W. Burns of New York, that developed the best and hardest tennis of the day. Wood won in straight sets, 6—4, 8—86, but for a time Burns matched the blonde star’s most severe service belts, and held up his end gumleu in a hard driving court uel. Mangin, seeded No.-1, polished oft Frank J. Welton of New York, 6—0, 6—1; Dr. Eugene McCauliff of Yonkers, seeded eighth, defeated George Key of Harvard University, 6—3, 6—4; J. Gil- bert Hall of Orange, N.

Berkeley Bell are seeded, produced very ordinary tennis. w * Sutter, top ranking player in the tourney through his No. 3 place on the national list, displayed uncertainty in- doors, though he defeated Dr. William Rosenbaum of New York, 7—5, 6—3, while Bell, powerful indoors, whipped Bryan Hamlin of New York, in love sets. Shields, ranked No. 5 nationally, easily whipped Allan Swayze of New York University, 6—3, 6—1, but Lott Jost the lone set for the seeded group in | his setto with MacGuffin. Even outside the seeded list there was no upset in the dyy’s play. The tourna- ment does not get cown to the finals until next Saturday.

BY BOBBY JONES, The only man who ever held the American | amateur and open championships and Brit- ish amateur and open champlonships in one year. VERY interesting letter from Myles Coen of New York City discusses quite intelligently a problem of vital importance to all golfers, because it so closely affects | the progress which the game is likely to ! make in future years. Coen points to the very vague popular conception of | the meaning of the term “golf pro- | fessional,” and asserts that he knows George Christ, Lanahan's Shoes Will Be Hard to! “cases of men being paid as golf in-| structors who could not rate, as ama- | teurs, better than a 25 handicap.” His | contention in short is that “some meth- ! od of licensing or certifying the profes- sionals who know their business would help create a new title which would dis- | tinguish them from those who are pro- | fessionals merely by reason of not being | amateurs. ‘The present notion of what is re- quired to make a man a professional | golfer may be all right when viewed | from the amateur side. It is that a per- |son who has made money out of golf 'dlrectly or indirectly and by so doing becomes ineligible for amateur compe- | tition is ipso facto & professional. But | what should the professionals say about Ithll? ‘Would a person who received a fee for making a title abstract or draft- | ing a contract, or for writing a prescrip- ‘by Guyon, who expects to take charge | tion, automatically become a lawyer or a doctor, without being required to | prove other qualifications? For the protection of the public to whom they | offer themselves as instructors, should | not a golf professional be required to | exhibit a certification from a competent | authority that he is qualified to teach? | P. G. A. Giving Problem Study. BVIOUSLY, the competent author- ity should be the Professional | Golfers' Association, and the men | | | at the head of this body have for some time been mindful of this problem and | of their responsibility in connection | g, | with it. They are able to command the | best golfers and the best instructive | thought in the country. Why are not they the logical ones to examine & man’s qualifications and say whether or not, judged by reasonable standards, he is competent to practice his and their profession? The average person distrusts any kind of instruction because he feels that instruction is useless in anything upon which there is said to be so much dis- agreement among experts and teachers, As a matter of fact, the extent of this disagreement among competent author- ities is by no means so great as is gen- erally believed. The appearance of | chaos has been fostered to a large ex- tent by the utterances of the very in- competents which & procedure of this kind would discredit. Before any real good can be done by the P. G. A. it must have the complete confidence of the golfing public. The organization has been striving hard to merit this confidence in order to be able to perform the functions which Coen suggests. ‘But no rhatter how sincerely the work may be done, it can have no effect until any certificate which might be 'issued will be accepted by the public as real, honest-to-goodness evidence of competence. Camera Reveals Fundamentals. 'HE high-speed motion picture camera has made possibl2 the accurate anal- ysis of the golf swing. By examin- ing the swings of numbers of first-rate players, it has been possible to find cer- tain movements which, because they are repeated in the swings of so many suc- cessful players, can be regarded as fun- damentals. There i no reason for any important difference of opinion in re- to these, although all instructors and writers may not choose exactly the same words to describe the movements.
