McCALLUM. \WO years ago he didn't know whether he would even hit the green from 160 to 170 yards away. Today he is one of the most accurate iron players in the world, @ golfing Colossus standing astride the amateur players of the world as Bobby Jones stood five years ago. W. Lawson Little, jr., American and British amateur champion, one of two men who have won both major titles in a single year, wasn't.sure 24 months ago that he would hit the green even on a medium-length short hole. But today he is ranked among the great iron players of the world, & man who consistently has as many putts for birdies on the short holes as any man hitting the ball on either side of the Atlantic. At the age of 22 it looked as if Law- son, two years back, was going no- where in particular. True, he was even then a great golfer from the tee, and like so many lengthy hitters, was one of the better putters—a man who broke the hearts of many oppo- nents by the regularity with which he rolled in the 15-footers. But when it came to the niceties of delicate iron play he was a flop. He admitted it himself at Indian Spring yesterday, where he played an exhibition match before departing for New York, where he will sail Friday for England to de- fend his British amateur crown, and make & bid for the British open title. Tommy Armour Shows Him, MMY ARMOUR, late of Con- gressional, admittedly the mas- ter of the iron clubs, is the chap who put the pin-seeking punch in Lawson Little’s iron shots. Before Lawson went to Chicago to spend a week with Tommy in the Summer of 1933, he wasn't sure when be took his iron in hand on a hole ranging from 165 to 190 yards, whether he even would hit the put- ting surface. As for playing for the pin, that was out like Queen Mary’s Easter bonnet in a Park avenue parade. Today that fear of bunkers; that hex that he won't hit the putting sur- face on the short holes no longer bothers the wearer of the world’s twin amateur golf crowns. No Imore does he play simply for the middle of the putting greens. As did the Bob Jones of the ycars betwecn 1919 and 1930, Little steps up nowadays and whacks that apple on & dead line for the pin. ‘The fear of missed iron shots is gone. In its place has come the confidence that rode him through the two great amateur tournaments of the world in 1934 and that may bring him to greater glory this year. For both Armour and Gene Sarazen admit it is not outside the range of possi- bilities that Little maey bsidge the gap between amateur and professional golf end become one of the few simon-pures to become a real threat for the U. S. end Britich open titles. Skips American Open. AWSON won't play in the Ameri- L can open championship at Oak- mont in June, but he may be @ real figure in the British open title tilt, and if he does he will lay it al from the tee, smack in the middle of the fairway. He can putt like Bob Jones at his best, but if he can’t find the range of the pin from 170 yards or split the line at any rea. sonable iron distance to put him in putting position he never will be a champion. That was the Lawson Little of two years back. one of the great hitters of the world, and a potential cham- pion, but woefully weak with the irons. Today the young maa is ome of the finer iron masters of the world.
