HASSKILLTOWIN NATIONAL HONORS Lone D. C. Entry in P. G. A. Tourney Rated Among Best Pros in East. BY W. R. McCALLUM. LTHOUGH Washington will A have only one represent- ative in the Professional Golfers’ Association cham- pionship at Milwaukee next week, that same gent—Al Houghton of Kenwood—is just about as strong a player as there is along the bunkered Atlantic Seaboard. Since he turned professional five years ago, forsaking the win- ning of silver mugs for the more | lucrative business of collecting cash for birdies, Houghton has come very near reaching his goal —that of becoming one of the Nation’s leading players. To be sure, he has not won a major title, and it may be that he never will, but he has reac the top of the local heap in an amazing burst of golf that has transformed a good amateur into Headed Places AL HOUGHTO! BLISS, WESTLAND CLASH FOR CROWN Oklahoma Collegian Plays Chicago Vet for Western Amateur Golf Laurel. BY DILLON GRAHAM, Associated Press Sports Writer. EMPHIS, Tenn., July 29.— Rodney Bliss, a young col- lege star from Omaha, and Jack Westland, Chicago veteran, today entered the final | |round of the Western amateur | golf tournament and will meet over the 36-hole route for the Western amateur golf champion- ship title tomorrow. Both were carried to the thirty-sixth| green ir tight battles, Bliss subduing Carl Dann, jr., of Orlando, the P'londa; champion, 1 up, while Westland whip- | ped youthful Walter Emery, the inter- collegiate golf king from Oklahoma City, 2 up | Tonight Blss found himself a chal- | a top-notch pro. The history of the| game is sprinkled with names of men who have just what Houghton has done—turned professional and become big money winners. Leo Diegel, Tommy | Armour, Bobby Cruickshank, George | von Elm, to mention just a few, are | among the former simon-pures who | have attained dizzy heights as profes- sional golfers after rather ordinary | careers as amateurs. Manor Woods His Bane. | ' L has had one great disappointment this year. The day he failed to | qualify for the open champion- ship at Manor in May marked the most | poignant failure of his professional career. Those woods of the first nine were | his “via doloresa.” But after he came | out of the mental fog which enveloped him following his failure to qualify for | the open he determined to go ahead | and seck every title within reaching | distance of Washington. He set the scoring pace in the qual fication rounds for the P. G. A. af Baltimore Friday with the finest exhi- bition of golf put on by a pro this year, scoring 66 and 69 for the astounding | total of 135. | He placed sixth in the Pennsylvania | open and today he is at Bedford | Springs, Pa., seeking another title and the bunch of coin that goes with it. Later in the weeck he will go to| Milwaukee, the lone District of Colum- | bia pro to make the trip this year. If | he plays the same type of game ha| played at Baltimore two days ago hi'l will be a formidable competitor for Olin Dutra’s crown. Houghton has been right on top of his game this year, with | the sole exception of his Manor ex-| perience. | Becomes Star Putter. STRANGE part of the transforma- tion in Houghton is that only in one department has his game im- proved materially. A long and straight hitter from the tee as an amateur, a | man who played his irons like the leading pros, he was a dismal failure | around the green as a simon-pu | But since turning professional, and with the knowledge that a big per- centage of the scormg cnd of the game hinges on the play around the cup, Houghton has become one of the best putters in the game. Time after time he raps in 15-foot | putts that mean winning matches. He s one of the most dangerous men in the game around Washington when he has to make a 15-footer to win. Most of his lower scoring rounds have | been made through the medium of the | putter, among them the 63 he made | at Kenwood last year, the 64 he made | a few weeks ago over his home course | and that card of 135 at Baltimore two | days ago. | Most professional golfers of the bet- ter class are equally matched in their | play from tee to green, the victory usually going to the gent who holes the longer putts. Houghton has con- centrated on this part of his game,| worked .on it like & Trojan, and today | he is one of the finest putters to be found anywhere along the bunkered path. Only a shade better from tee| to green than he was in the days when he played amateur golf, he has step- ped up his scoring pace by that great- est of all golfing mediums—the magic blade of a putter. His Outlook Promising. | OUGHTON is improving every| vyear. For a time. after he turned | pro. he was a babe in the woods, | holding the better pros in awe and| reverence. But he quickly learned that | they all make mistakes and that put-| ting is the department in which they make the most errors. Far from | thick-skulled, and an apt student of| the game, he concentrated on putting | until today he rates among the first 30 or 40 pros n the United States. | Houghton can go much farther than | he has gone. It is not cutside the| bounds of possibility that Houghton may bring a major championship to ‘Washington some day. A little more poise in the tense moments of the championship case, a little more in- tense concentration on shot-makin, and he may win a big title. Al Hough- ton has only started to go. His best years are ahead of him. SOUTHERN STARS CHAMPS. Bouthern Stars defeated the Wan- derers, 8-7. and claim the Walker Sta- dium midget division diamond title. | ‘The Stars, who were undefeated. had on their roster Goodwin, Barber, P.| Mills, Hartlan, Dunmore. Tracy, E. Stewart, Green, Gregg. McEver, Ca ter, Jones. Lincoln, J. Stewart and J. Harley. Emeralds won three games and lost three, Wanderers had two vic- tories and four losses and the Booker T. Scouts won one game and lost five. lenger for a major golf chlmplonshlp; for the second time within a month. Just four weeks ago the Nebraskan, who plays on Cornell's golf team, was a finalist in the national intercollegiate tournament. His_opponent and con- queror then was Emery. Neither Bliss nor Westland has been 50 near the Western championship be- fore, although Westland fought Francis Ouimet for the national title two years ago and played last Summer on Amer- | ica's Walker Cup team. | Bliss, is the Nebraska State champion and earred some fame last year by put- ting Johnny Goodman out of his State meet.

Budge, a tall, hard-hitting University of California sophomore, blasted Illinols hope of a representative in_ the title round of its own tournament by defeat- ing Eddie Lejeck of Chicago, 6—2, 6—0, 7—5.

Catherine Wolfe of Elkhart, Ind., and Jackie Ayer of Chicago, went into the finals of the women's singles in easy style.

OT SPRINGS, Va., July 29. —Louise Hofmeister of Chicago, who holds the Washington, D. C., women’s tennis title, displayed a beautiful all-court game today to win the singles of the twentieth annual Virginia State championship, de- feating in straight sets Reba Kir- son of Baltimore. Then Miss Hof- meister shared honors with Miss Kirson in winning the doubles. Miss Hofmeister early in the singles match showed remarkable steadiness, which beld up throughout her 6—1, 6—1 victory over Miss Kirson. Then they paired to defeat Miss Eliza Come of Asheville, N. C., and Miss Josephine Gray, 7—5, 6—3, to win the doubles championship. With the exception of the second game ‘in this set, when Miss Kirson broke h her opponent's service, the Baltimore girl never had a chance. DDIE JACOBS of Baltimore de- feated 19-year-old Wilbur Hess, Texas State champion, in the singles final to win permanent posses- sion of the Challenge Bowl. Hess, who had advanced to the final with a surprising straight-set victory over Herbert L. Bowmsan of New York, in the semi-finals. gave the Baltimore ace a battle before going down, 7—S5. 5—17, 6—3, 6—2, in a gruelling four-set struggle. The Challenge Bowl came to Jacobs after the trophy had been in competi- | tion since 1922. The Baltimore star entered the tournament with two legs to his credit on the bowl. Golf Analyzed BY JOE GLASS. HE duffer who is having a hard time playing downhill lies might do well to study the rules with which that fine Chicago fessional, Eddie Loos, governs imself under such conditions. I saw Eddie play a downhill lie in the Los Angeles open. At ad- dress he adopted a stance in ad- vance of the ball, with his weight well forward. The reason for that’ was obvious. He wanted to main- tain balance, which is not easy to do when the left side of the body is lower than the right. At address, too, the right knee was bent_more than ordirarily. This was a part of the general tendency to keep the weight forward. The position of Eddie’s head, how- ever, was significant. He kept it behind the ball and held it there throughout the swing. This meant that although his weight was for- ward, his body was behind the ball. It is a point stressed Loos. As to arm control, the left exer- cised it all the time. Eddie, on these shots, makes a point of not letting the right hand get into action too soon. For onme thing, if it takes control, the clubh is likely to hit into the upward slope behind the ball. If it doesn't do that a terrible slice follows. Masteri that pitch shot will e n.rp You will 1% vend e Glass will be glad ree any one sending him a oumged self-addressed envelope.
