SP ORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO! D. C, BATURDAY, JULY ¥, 1933. SPORT S. Cunningham Clinches Rankas Track Great: Admiral M’Vay “Champ Putter”Here »>— i | Sets 1,500-Meter Record for U. S., Follows With Win in A. A. U. 800. BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Ascociated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, July 1. — Glenn Cunningham, the Kansas flyer, had more than earned himself a place among America’s track greats as Chicago’s track and field carnival went into its final phase today. On top of a great indoor season, in which he conquered the coun- try’s best at the half mile and mile, followed by triumphs in his own league, the Big Six, and ex- traordinary accomplishments in the national collegiate meet two weeks ago, Cunningham today held two well earned senior A. A. U. titles, gained on Soldler' Field. Making 8 show of his field in the 1.500 meters run, the Kansas youth, who became a distance runner to strengthen legs badly burned in a child- hood misfortune, raced the distance in 3 minutes 52.3 seconds for a new Amer- ican and meet record last night. Com- ing back two hours later, he wiped out 18 defeat administered by Charles Horn- bostel of Indiana University, in win- ning the 800 meters in 1:518, only four-tenths of a second slower than the national record set by Lloyd Hahn in| 1928, Metcalfe Cleans Up. | HARING honors with Cunningham | S was Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette | University? who proved his right to | the “fastest human” title, by winning | the 100 and 200 meter races with the | utmost ease. In the century he out- footed his opposition in 10.5 seconds, and in the 200 meters, established a hew meet mark of 21.1 seconds, faster | by three-tenths of a second, than the mark set by Charles Borah of the Uni- wersity of Southern California in 1928. In addition to the record perform. snces by Cunningham and Metcalfe, Heye Lambertus of Nebraska and Cor- | nelius Johnson, Los Angeles Negro high school youth, set new meet marks. Lambertus bettered Bob Maxwell's mark in the 200-meter hurdles winning the| event in 23.4 seconds. Maxwell's rec-| ord was & tenth of a second slower. Johnson bettered his own meet mark of 6 feet 6% inches by jumping 6 feet 7 inches in the high jump. | New York A. C. on Top. HE New York A. C, with a big, | I well-balanced team, won the team title with 56!2 points. Louisiana State University, which scored a sur- prise victory over Southern California in the N. C. A. A. championships, landed second with.23 points. The | Olympic Club of San Francisco was | third with 1714, | The Ilinois Women's A. C. piled up | 47 points to win the team championship | in its division. The second-place | teams, the South Park of Chicago and the Onteora Club of Malden, Mass., were far back with 8 each. A pro- test over the 400-meter relay, won by the I. W. A. C., was to be settled by another race today, with the prospect that the point table might be altered. | The decathlon huskies, headed by Barney Berlinger of Philadelphia and Wilson Charles, the Oneida Indian from Haskell Institute, was on today's pro- gram, along with the contest for gym- | nastic championships. | D.C.SCHOOLS “PREFERRED’| b NE | @o Get Complete Use of Griffith Stadium in Future.

Y., July 1.—A practically unknown Uni- versity of Oklahoma sophomore who came out of the West to dominate the preliminary rounds of the National Intercollegiate Golf Tournament played one of the Nation's better known younger golfers for the collegiate golf c-_hampianlhlp today. ‘The Western invader, Walter Emery, 18, matched strokes in today's 38-hole final round with Rodney Bliss of Cor- nell, holder of the Nebraska State title and known as one of the best young match players of the country.

LASGOW, S8cotland, July 1.— As an appetizer for the Brit- ish Open, starting Monday, Capt. Walter Hagen and his Ryder Cup men yesterday made an ex- cursion from St. Andrews to Western Scotland and before a golfwise gallery on the White Craigs links. Defeating a team of 10 of Scotlan best amateurs in a medal play col petiticn where totals for 18 holes de- cided the matter, 6 of the American professionals were under the course record of 70 on the par 71 links. ‘They were paced by Horton Smith’s sensational 65, 6 under par. The team totals were 701 to 723. Hagen, perhaps exhausted by his speech-making activities at luncheon, ‘wasn't quite equal to his opponent, with a 73, and neither were Leo Diegel, 75, and Ed Dudley, 77. But the rest quickly solved White Craigs problems, all other seven surpassing the efforts of the players paired with them. Smith, with a par-equaling 36 out and a par-destroying 29 in, had the native golfers’ eyes bulging. Gene Sarazen, who will defend his open title at St. Andrews next week, was only two strokes behind Smith with a card of 67, while big Olin Dutra, the gay caballero from California, with a 66. Dutra was more consistent than Smith, making only two mistakes. One cost him a 5 on the second hole and his putt for a 3 on the eighteenth just lip- ped the cup.

NE often hears a lofted spoon referred to facetiously as & “wooden niblic.” The users of the term are not always aware that it was once quite seriously applied to a golf club. Horace Hutchinson, writing some time in the 90s, tells us something of the early stages in the development of golf clubs. Particularly interesting is his description of the evolution of the brassie. In the early days there were noirons; all clubs were of wood, even those in- tended to be used for short approach work. The set consisted of a tee club, an assortment of what we would call spoons, of varying lofts and lengths, | and & wood putter. All of the woods were of nearly one shape, with long. slender heads, diffe: gree of loft on the face. No matter where the ball might be found, in long grass, or bunker, or, as often happened, in a sheep track or cart rut, it had to be played out with one of those long- headed wood clubs. OON, however, the difficulty of S using these clubs from unfavor- able lies induced some genius to invent a niblic to make the rough work a little easier. The old niblic did not display the ample blade of the present- day club of that name. It was made to use from cart ruts, sheep tracks and other places into which the long heads of the spoons would not go, and its blade was correspondingly short. There are niblics in the royal and ancient collection at St. Andrews, the faces of which are little larger than a silver After this some one conceived the | {gea that & wood club made with & Golf Analyzed BY JOE GLASS, 'OT long since when & friend N complained of his putting I was able to point out to him that he was standing so far away from his ball that both arms were de- tached from his body. In this state of looseness it naturally was hard for him to keep his hands from turning. My advice was to use the putting stance of Bobby Jones, as sketched above; that is, to stand close to the ball and bend over enough so that both arms would be crooked. Next, like Bobby. he was to keep the right arm in, while moving the left elbow away frcm the body so that it would point toward the hole—perhaps not directly, but almost directly toward it. Then he was to let the left hand play a prominent part in the stroke. His putting improved at once, and, with consistent practice; is. con- tinuing good. ic 3 elbow so l;fim any tendency of the left hand to turn over, or to pull in toward the body, is counteracted. The clubhead goes straight through. With the right arm close to the body, any locse arm action is pre- vented, too. Make no mistake, it's the putter that wins golf games. If yours has gone sour write Joe Glass in care of- this paper and ask for his free ” Be sure to stamped only in the de-| short head would be useful for playing out of ruts and the like which were not drastic enough to require the sacrifice entailed by the use of the niblic. Such |a club was made and almost immedi- | ately became populs Mr. Hutchin- | son tells us that it was first called a | | wooden niblic. It subsequently came to | be called a brassy when a brass plate | was screwed onto the bottom to protect ll;. from damage when used from rough es. EANWHILE, an additional iron club had come into use. It was called a lofting iron, and was de- | signed especially for playing out of | rough grass. Apparently, for a long | time no one used this club for anything |but trouble work. The story is that | young Tom Morris was the first player | of prominence to make general use of the iron for approaching, and that it was his success with it that was re- sponsible for the iron superseding the “baffy” with which these short shots had formerly been played. Young Tom went a long way for those days by | | sometimes even approaching with his niblic. We accept our modern clubs with | scarcely a thought. But it took a long | time and a lot of experience to bring | | them to the point where they are today. | |In the Royal and Ancient Golf Club there is a collecton containing a speci- men of almost every club known to have been made to overcome certain of the | golfer’s difficulties.

TAKES 23 IN CHEVY CHASE CLUB ROUND Uses Only One Stroke on 13 Greens and Never Needs More Than Two. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ASHINGTON'S champion s ;s [ putter has been revealed in the person of Rear Admiral Charles B. Mc- Vay, jr., U. 8. N, a distinguished naval officer, who is one of the more prominent members of the Senior Golf Association of the Chevy Chase Club. Admiral McVay, a member of the General Board of the Navy, who has played golf all over the world, played the Chevy Chase course a few days ago and used only 23 putts in his round of 82. He had 13 one putt greens, 6 of them in a row, to set what is believed to be a record locally for saving putts. The putting green par on any golf course is 36, and on such a layout as Chevy Chase, with its expansive putting sur- faces, any player would be condoned if he had one or two greens with three putts. Admiral McVay did not have a single three-putt green and only five times did he use as many as two putts. His one-putt greens on the first nine were the second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth. On the last nine holes he used only one putt on the tenth, took two putts on the eleventh and eighteenth, and one putt on all the other seven holes, He played each nine in 41 strokes. Houghton Takes Only 25. FEW days ago Al Houghton played his home course at Kenwood in 64 strokes, using only 25 putts, whicl was fairly close to the local record, but Admiral McVay's mark is far better. The commonly accepted world record for putting was set by the famous profes- sional of 25 years ago, Alex Findlay. who played a standard course with grass greens in 17 putts for a ca™ of 72, many years ago. At Pinehurst, where sand greens are the rule, 23 and 24 putts are fairly common, but grass greens are much harder to putt than the sanded affairs. Donald Ross had 19 putts in a round at Pinehurst a few years back, and in the big championships at the North Caro- lina resort any competitor who takes more than 26 putts doesn't go very far. . But Admiral McVay's record must be Jjust about the best bit of putting that | has been done about Washington in many a year in a standard round of | golf.
