SPORTS. ——e M’Leod Sees Picard as Best Young Pro : Grant Gets Davis Cup Recognition HENRY STRAIGHT, FAR AND GRITTY Oakmont Is Made to Order | for Him in National Open Tourney. BY W. R. McCALLU) P4 OT" Henry Picard, the tall kid from Plymouth, Mass., now playing from the Her- shey, Pa., club, may have pulled a bloomer in the last two| rounds of the Augusta open tourna-| ment, but he remains the most potent | threat ameng the younger pros to win | the national open championship of | 1935. Freddie McLeod of Columbia, him- eelf a former national champion, isn't given to overenthusiasm when he talks about golf and golfers. He has seen too many Winter bloomers become | Summer punks, and has watched the gents who grab the dough in the grapefruit leagues of golf become or- dinary hackers in the Northern tour- | naments tco often to bust right out with a prediction anent the ability of any golfer. But Freddie is sold on this Picard fellow, who led the troup- ing pros in winnings on their swing around the recent Winter circuit, Just ended at Augusta. “He looks to me to be the best of the bunch among the younger crowd.” Fred said. "And he hits the ball so far and so straight with all his clubs 1 don't see how they can stop mm“ And has he, got that stuff they call | ‘guts'?> 1 watched him carefully at Augusta and time after time he had | to make a shot that called for plenty | of courage. He made it, and he made | it right.” | — | Little Slowed Him. | “Y JOW about those last two rounds, | H when he shot up from 68 to | 762" we asked the little Co- lumbia golf professor. “You know, I don't like alibis, and I don't have to make any for this chap,” Freddie said. “But Henry went out on the third round without a sand wedge, and in that round he also was playing with the slowest man in the field—Lawson Little. Not that Lawson | has to play fast for my money, if he| wants to go along slow, but I dldj notice that many times Henry had to fool around and wait a long time for Lawson to make his shots. And I don't think it helped Picard at all.” “Well, how about the time he failed to qualify for the national open at Manor, back in 1933?" was quizzed Freddie. “He was a good golfer then.” Fred said. “But he is a great one now. These kids come along fast, 8s you know, and Picard is a far better player now than he was then. That was before he had won anything big | and before he had established his con- | fidence by licking the best of ‘em. | Now he has all the shots plus that | Sarazen confidence.” In that Manor tourney of 1933 Picard failed to qualify for the national with scores of hegvy King, as the standout of the | who wil certify to their club handi- | on a tour of the near South, during 74—77—151. “But any one who hits» ‘em a little off the line on that first nine at Manor can get in_so much trouble he can't break 40, Fred add- ed. That is just what Picard did. for after a good first round of 74 he took 40 for the out nine in the afternoon. Oakmont Made for Him. . ILL he go well at Oakmont.” Owners and Prides That Seek Awards in Dog Classic Part of field of 69 that is competing in all-age event of the National Capital fleld trials today at Glen, Md.

Twice a victim of O'Mahoney in previous matches, Dusek nevertheless has succeeded in working so well with the inexperienced and comparatively | colorless Irishman that both affairs were acclaimed the brightest perform- ances of the Erin lad’s tour to date. O'Mahoney failed to impress greatly when he made his debut here against Fred Grobmier. Though he won eas- ily, Danno lacked a repertoire of “holts” and a sense of showmanship.

Another pair of Irishmen, Jack Donovan and Pat McKay, will appear on the supporting card.
