PEACOCK MAKES - HIM TURN ON GAS Little Fellow With Great Wallop Also Has More Time to Practice. BY W. R. McCALLUM. 178 HERE have you been hiding this guy? Where's he been all the time? Migawd, he wallops a golf ball as far as Ghezzi—and that's hitting the apple.” The guy was George Diffenbaugh and the speaker was Bill Melhorn. “Wild William” and Ghezzi had just been licked in a best-ball match wherein the diminutive George had saddled most of the hard work and had taken over the burden of licking the two big shots from Andy Merillees, his pro partner. 1t happened last Fall at Pinehurst, but it wasn't anything new to those who know George. Lots of people have looked over this tiny ex-jockey, now the golf professional at Indian Spring, and thought what a set-up | he would be. And the same people have wondered where the earthquake struck as they watched the little fel- | low wind up and smite a golf ball up with the long wallopers and chip and | putt with the best of 'em. George Wins Respect. ARELY taller than the driver he wields with such astonishing accuracy and such mighty prowess, little George Diffenbaugh is carving for himself a niche all his own among the pros of the Middle Atlantic area. Three years ago & fellow who usually wound up behind the eight ball in the little tourna- ments staged by the pros, the Diffen- baugh of today is a golfer feared by every competitor in any tournament he enters. And, strangely enough, he isn't a bit longer from the tee than the Diffenbaugh who came to Washington about a decade ago to| amaze local golfers with the length of his mighty shots from a bulger-faced driver. George used to team up with Monro Hunter at Indian Spring in those glamorous days five and six years ago when they lost just one match against professional combina- tions known all over the world for | their prowess. ‘This match was against Billy Burke and George Von Elm and it happened in 1931 when George Von Elm clocked an individual 68. But they whipped such combinations as Archie Comps- ton and Audrey Boomer, Leo Diegel and Walter Hagen, and they whipped them soundly, something that wasn't being done every day. Hunter sup- plied the fireworks with his booming | tee shots and the magic in his put- ting blade, but it was little George who rapped in the winning birdies. | They made a great duo in those days, the 6 foot 5 inch Hunter and tiny | Diffenbaugh, standing about 5 feet 4 inches atop the sod, with boosters in the heels of his golf shoes. Peacock Helps Him. George Diffenbaugh today is fairly close to being the smooth- est piece of golf machinery among the mid-Atlantic pros, even though his stature physically hasn't gained a fraction of an inch. His golfing stature has shot up until nowadays he is fairly close to Al} Houghton as the leader amang the | Maryland professional golfers. How come? Well, it all happened because George has found time to play and practice a little bit. And possibly because of Roger Peacock. Perhaps | the little matter of pride is mixed up in it, too, for no pro wants to be licked by an amateur, and Peacock can lick George if George doesn't hit his best stride. So he is on his toes all the time to keep ahead of the rampaging Roger. Today George holds the professional record for the | Columbia course—a 67 shot two years @ego. Last year he finished second to Al Houghton in the Maryland State championship. 1935? It may be a Diffenbaugh year. ‘The tiny man has all the equipment. LOSES FIRS'I.'

No. 8076 1 PORTS. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. N mapping the topography of the opening at Middleburg last Sat- urday, we would stick blue pins, denoting peaks, into five points. They are the brilliant perform- ance Indigo showed in winning the cup; Chatterplay’s amazingly good maiden trial; the fact Noel Laing rode five races and finished in the money in all, winning one; D. Wrenn'’s miraculous escape from serious in- jury when Seth’s Stranger fell and rolled all over him, and reaffirmation of the belief that the Glenwood course is one of the most attractive timber, brush and turf courses in hunt racing today. As for Indigo, this gray son of Stefan the Great apparently is on the way to fame in racing between the flags. Should owner John Schiff de- cide to send the pride of Northwood Stable to the Maryland Hunt Cup this year, we frankly do not know a horse that could beat him. Picking a Maryland winner is like trying to predict where a snowflake will land in a blizzard, but it is cer- tain that Indigo fairly screeched of class, speed, endurance and jumping ability in the Middleburg Cup. That good second to Drinmore Lad in the Carolina Cup must not be forgotten either. The Lad is conceded to be the finest timber topper in the country today, but we still can’t figure Mellon's horse as a Maryland winner. Somehow the idea persists that Drinmore Lad never will be comfortable over those for- midable fences. Indigo, on the other hand, seemed ready to hop over the moon at bidding. Well, we shall see what we shall see. And don't forget when you scoot up the Heiser hillside in Worthington Valley on April 27 | there will be & horse named Arundel in that race, and Arundel proved to be no slouch over at My Lady's Manor last week. * % % x N the rumpus and dither of race meets, not many persons bother to add up the performances of individual gentleman jockeys during an afternoon. It may not have oc- curred to you, for example, that Noel Laing rode exactly 13 miles in races Saturday afternoon between 1:30 and 4:30 pm.—1%; miles on the flat, 412 over brush, 7 over timber. And if you lubbers don’t think that's something, take up your irons | when you're riding in the park to- morrow afternoon and try galloping: slowly for 2 miles. The comparative stresses of riding at high speed, of going over jumps, you can fill in with your own pencil. It also is interesting to note that Laing won one race, fin- THE EVENING ished second in two and third in two. And mark it.down in the bovk that not. three other timber riders in Amer- ica could have kept that green, rough- jumping Welbourne Jake standing up for 3 miles in the maiden race or stayed with him if he did land more or less on his feet over the barriers. The fall D. Wrenn sustained in the fifth heat at first looked as if it were going to be just another tumble. When Seth’s Stranger landed, how- ever, he rolled all over Wrenn, and there were those who would have bet the colored population of Middleburg had been reduced by one. Not at all. The boy wasn't really hurt. * kX X HATTERPLAY'S clever victory in his first start struck us as a sort of modulated echo of all our howls about the futility of bul- bous show horses. Chatterplay at one time was well up amongst them in the show circuit here in Virginia and later up north, For years the hand- some chestnut was kept so fat it was hard to believe that this really was the same animal Jack Skinner mount- ed In the Middleburg paddock when the bugle blew for the Rose Hill tim- ber race.

The tournament is defi- nitely slated to go to Washington, but the course has not yet been chosen. Emmett Gary, executive secretary of the State organization, said it is hoped MBITIOUS nplans for the A Maryland State open golf to make the affair one with wmeyhandjcnpped amateur, Glenn S. Spencer, the big gun from the Maryland club, shot a great 76 in the morning to win the sweepstakes affair from Mel Shorey, who had a 77, while Willle Schreiber of Clifton Park and E. G. Barnes of Hillendale, teamed to win the pro-amateur with a best ball card of 73, aided by a flock of handicap strokes allotted to Barnes. Lab Second place went to Carroll T.

Jim Maloney and Neil Burkinshaw watch the ball disappear into the uncut rough. $3,000 of prize money to attract a field of naticnally known pros. “But where will we get the dough?” he queries. The Maryland open tourney has been a little affair between the Mary- land pros for years, with prize dough hardly attractive enough to gather in the big shots. But the solons of the State organization have figured out that if they can put up a fairly good- sized pot they can get a flock of big time pros and make the affair really worthwhile, with a gate fee, a $5 entry fee and a lot of ballyhoo. The tourney was played at Indian Spring last year and was won for the third time by Al Houghton. HERE'S one thing certain among I the pros who play in the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. affairs. That is they never again will play a golf tournament over that Woodholme Country Club course if the weather is at all bad. For, not only is the course th elongest in this area (it stretches out to well over 7,000 yards), but it rained and hailed at times yesterday and the boys struggled over that prodigious layout in one of the wierd- est affairs ever staged by the pros of this section. As if it wasn’t bad enough to have a golf course with five par 5 holes on it, and a flock of par 4 holes which could iy be reached in two shots, but, in addition, the weather man turned on all the freak weather he ranging from high winds through heavy rain and hail. So tough was the going that a few of our £y S eminent pald players were unable to keep on, and several of them didn't finish either in the sweepstakes in the morning or the pro-amateur affair in the afternoon.

About the play of the Washington pro-amateur combines the less said the better, although George Diffen- baugh and Roger Peacock were able to get around in 76. The whole thing should have been thrown out, for nearly every one stopped under shel- ter when the rain broke. All in all, it was a day far more fit for duck- shooting than for birdie-collecting. EN teams of woman golfers from as many clubs about the city will gather tomorrow at the Washington Golf and Country Club course to play in the first team n}atchea. postponed last week because of rain.

Special Dispatch to The Star. IDDLEBURG, Va., April 16— Prospects were bright here today for the strongest sec- ond-day program in the his- tory of the Middleburg Hunt's annual race meetings as that organization prepared for the final card of its Spring steeplechase session. Eighty horses have been entered in the six races scheduled to begin to- morrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock and the course was reported drying fast as wind swept the soggy turf today. The feature of the day is to be the Glenwood, a 3-mile timber trial, which has attracted 10 nominees. They are Benjamin Leslie Behr's Brose Hover, Mrs. Thomas H. Somerville's Oliver C., Charles E, Perkins’ Laguna Secca, Mrs. Vadim Makaroff’s Gigolo, Paul Mellon’s Chatterplay, Mrs. Simon Pat- terson’s Haldale, Alvin Untermeyer's Drapeau, Bagatelle and H. J. Smith and Flying Horse Farm’s The Prophet. Of the five other events slated two will be run over brush, one over nur- dles, a second over timber and one on the flat. The Wanquepin, 1% miles over hurdles and the day’s opener, will mark the inauguration of hurdle racing at the Middleburg meets.
