Jack McLean Carries British Hope of Dethroning Little in Amateur Golf AMERICAN RATED BEST IN TOURNEY Struggle Starts Tomorrow. St. Anne’s Will Demand Power, Accuracy. BY BERNARD DARWIN, British Golf Expert. T. ANNE'S-ON-THE-SEA, Eng- land, May 18—Lawson Little will defend his title as British amateur champion on the links of the Royal Lytham and St. Anne’s Club in Lancashire, plny start- ing Monday. This is the first time an amateur championship has been played at St. Anne’s, but it has been the scene of one open championship, and that an historic one, since it was at St. Anne's in 1926 that Bobby Jones won the first of his British titles. Not only was that an historic occasion, but he won by an historic shot. Bobby and Al Watrous were lead- ing in the last round. The situation was made a hundred times more poignant by the fact that they were drawn together. Watrous had been ahead, but toward the end Bobby had caught him, and, with two holes to go, they were all, even. Then, at the seventeenth hole, ‘Watrous went right down the course, and Bobby hooked his ball into a waste of sand and rough on the left That seemed to have decided the championship, and Bill Fownes, with whom I was walking, said, looking at Watrous’ ball, “He’ll have this shot for $100,000.” In fact, the hole did decide the championship, but not in the way we had expected. Plague Spares Greens. OBBY admittedly was lucky in that he found his ball lying cleanly on smooth sand. Even 80, he was a full 170 yards from the green, which was masked from him by a formidable hill and was ringed with bunkers. He took a mashie iron and hit the ball as clean as a whistle right over all the trouble and near enough to the pin to make a four almost certain. No wonder poor ‘Watrous faltered and took a five! So much for St. Anne’s in the past, and now for it in the present. It has been passing through a bad time, owing to a plague of those enemies of golfing mankind, the leather Jackets. The plague spared the putting greens and they are in their usual order. The fairways undeniably have suffered and perhaps there will be patches here and there and an occa- sional lie that will make a player scratch his head and deem himself ill-used, but, taken as a whole, it will be a worthy battlefield. About the superficial qualities of St. Anne’s there is a variety of opin- fon. Some people are devoted to it; others, while admitting it affords an eminently sound test, think it a little drab and uninviting. They call it a severe examination in golf rather than a pleasant place in which to play golf. Demands Power, Accuracy. HALT between these two schools. It has not, to my mind, the charm of Sandwich or St. Andrew’s, but I know of no course on which the right man is more likely to win. It calls for power and it calls for ac- curacy—at certain holes almost dem- oniacal accuracy, for the bunkers have been dotted very thickly. It is genuine seaside golf and at one end has genuine seaside sand hills, but its surroundings are a lit- tle too sophisticated for beauty and at certain holes, where the land would lie normally rather open and fiat, the real sand hills have been re-enforced by synthetic ones. The turf is as good as can be found anywhere and the greens are of the true velvety quality—essentially flat and yet full of interesting little runs and burrows. While it is certainly a long driver’s course, the long putter will get his chance near the pin. Assuming, as one has every right to assume, that Lawson Little will be the best golfer in the fleld, then I can imagine no British course more likely to lead to the best man winning. I do not in my mind’s eye see any courageous little David fluking the great Goliath out at St. Anne’s—no, not even in the short space of 18 holes, in which, as we know, odd things can happen. I do not fancy Little will go gloriously mad there, doing a 66 as he did against the luck- less Wallace at Prestwick, but I do picture him tearing his way round in or about an average of fours, and that will take a lot of beating. Still, I trust we shall be able to produce some edversaries worthy of his steel. McLean Is Consistent. UR best golf just now is played in Scotland, especially the west of Scotland, whence come two of our brightest hopes, Jack McLean and Hector Thompson. McLean unques- tionably has been our leading ama- teur for some time and he is amaz- ingly consistent and successful. In Australia last Winter McLean excelled himself and his play in the Melbourne championship was bril- liant. Yet he is not a great driver, as driving goes nowadays, and if he 1s to be beaten it will be by somebody who can annihilate him partially in point of length. On the other hand, continually he is placing his iron shots very near the pin, and that makes it awkward for those who have to follow. Hector Thompson is younger and has not accomplished nearly so much, but he has it in him to be the greater player because he has that little bit of extra length which McLean lacks. Oddly enough, he plays with those exceedingly springy clubs which usually are deemed the props of age rather than youth, but they seem to suit him perfectly. Of the English players it is harder to pick out any one or two as obvious chaliengers. The English champion- ship has been won for the second time in three years by John Woollam. He can play beautiful golf, but he has not yet convinced people that he is the man for the big occasion. The golf in the final between him and Eric Fiddian was very poor and scrambling. Tolley Still Dangerous. YRIL TOLLEY was playing in this championship and was a decided favorite. He was play- ing very fine golf and was showing his old. power of resolute finishing. In the fifth round, however, there came l lapse—a round with one or tWwo of those sudden patches of lacka- daisical golf which apparently he is unable to avoid. He fought back well, but just lost to Fiddian. He is bound %o be for he still is a grand | Is & member of Manor. Golfmg Youths From Dixie Find D. C. Fruitful Grounds; Greene Is BY W. R. McCALLUM. must be something to this golf that is played in the Southland. For the last two years Wash- ington has been invaded by a flock of youngsters from the States below the Potomac. Last year Gene Vinson, the tall, drawling lad from Pat Harri- son's Mississippl, took the local field like Sherman took Georgia 70 years ago, and then dropped out of compe- tition around the Capital. This year it is young Hickman Greene from Louisiana, the State of one-man gov- ernment, who is the latest thorn in Latest to Score played with Argyle. Last year he was a little unsteady and inclined to be unreliable. But no one who saw the young man bust that Chevy Chase course wide open by playing 12 holes in three strokes under par in the final will concede that he is unsteady and unreliable this year. He has come a long way since 1934 and it may be that it will take the best article of golf that Harry Pitt or Roger Pea- cock can produce to stop this latest menace from the South. Only last week he turned that Manor course, where this week’s tourney joust is to start on Tuesday, in 69 whacks, which is two better than par, and a piece of golf good enough to win any match They seem to be gathered in a huddle on the flrst tee at Confressmnal but it’s all a kidding match. e for handicaps. In the group are H. L. Cobb, Maj. F. M. tuss It’s the customary Davison, Frank Yates, James F. Meegan and H. L. Sheppard. the rosebush for the Washington-bred men who have their hearts and hands set on going somewhere in golf. For a lot of folks who dismissed Hickman Greene with a knowing shake of the head last year suddenly are coming to realize that the dark-haired kid with the shy grin and the cour- teous manner is a pretty good golfer after all. Looking back on his par- busting stunt in the Chevy Chase final, those who follow the shifting fortunes of golf and golf tournaments will re- call that young Mr. Greene was hot stuff last Summer, and that only the trenchant clubs of Vinson kept him from going places in 1934. Shows Worth at Chevy Chase. HIS year, with Vinson absent from the local scene, young Mr. Greene looms as the man to beat, and it may well be that no one | is going to beat him at all, particu- larly if Roger Peacock remains out of competition. Last year, in the same Chevy Chase tournament, Vinson barely licked him on the eighteenth green in the semi-final. And in the District championship Gene and| Greene went to the twentieth hole before Gene knocked in a birdie to win. He missed qualifying for the amateur championship by a single stroke, and on the whole, he turned | in a pretty good sample of golf. To- day, a year later, and at the age of 22, young Mr. Greene looks as if he| finally is going places. This year he | Last year he against any competition. No one has been tooting his horn loudly and blat- antly, but young Mr. Greene doesn't need any one to do his horn-tooting for him to keep on banging them straight and far as he did at Chevy Chase. Has Sound Form. ODAY he is to be out at Wood- mont to play off a four-way tie for the qualifying medal in the Woodmont tournament, for which he tied with Peacock, Volney Burnett and Dr. W. F. Hayes. This latest of the Southern invaders is a pretty good golfer and he may be good enough to beat all the boys this year. First it was Billy Howell back in 1931 and 1932. Then along came Gene Vin- son to sweep the field. And now it is Hickman Greene. Yep, the South can put out some darned good golf material. As to his style, the young man’s philosophy of stroking the ball seems to be based on two fundamen- tals that are as sound as a gold dol- lar. These are the stiff left arm, and hitting with the hands. No golfer hit- ting the ball around Washington more consistently maintains an unbroken bne from shoulder to club-grip than Hickman Greene. And no golfer hits the ball more with his hands than this same youngster. Combine these two fundamentals with a good tem- | perament, a fine sense of balance and | good timing and you have enough to stroke a golf ball around any course | 2 in respectable figures. Heads Net Loop Twentieth Year ILLARD E. BUELL has been re-elected president of the Treasury Department Tennis Club for his twentieth consecutive year. He has been the only presi- dent the club has had. Frank A. Birgfeld has been chosen honorary president, with Odin Klovstadt, vice president; M. P. Coe, secretary-treasurer; George Clark, captain, and Lawrence Phil- lips, assistant captain. Treasury, which- plays its first game in the Department League Thursday against the Farm Credit Administration team on the Monu- ment courts, has lost its No 1 man, Ralph McIlvenny, who now is with the Securities and Ex- change Commission. COOK IS CROWNED TRAPSHOT RULER Scores 194x200 for D. C. Singles Title—Doubles Honors to Burrows. ARKER COOK, with a score of 194 out of a possible 200, yes- terday won the annual Wash- ington Gun Club 16-yard trap- shooting event for the District sin- gles championship. ‘Twenty-two competed in the af- fair, which was staged over the traps at Benning. W. F. Burrows won the District doubles championship, with 85 out of a 100. Three out-of-town shooters, H. B. Slack, S. M. Crothers and E. E. Cuthbert, also broke 85, but they were not eligible for prizes. C. C. Fawsett won the all-around cham- pionship of the District by breaking 356 out of a possible 400. In other events Dr. J. H.

By the Assoctated Press. ARIS, May 18.—Superiority in P the doubles today enabled France to assume a lead of seven matches to three in the | of the international team S tennis series between France and the | opening British Empire. Owing to an overnight downpour of rain which softened the turf of the courts in the Roland Garros Stadium, the series, a prelude to the Prench hard courts tennis cham- plonships next week, is being played in nearby indoor courts. The irrepressible Jean Borotra and Marcel Bernard scored & noteworthy for the tricolor when they defeated the British team of H. W. (Bunny) Austin and Jack Crawford, the Australian star, in straight sets, 6—3, 6—4, while another French pair, Christian Boussus and Jacques Brugnon, overpowered Gregory Tuckey and Sir John Colin Gregory, 6—1, 6—4. Tuckey Stars in Losing. LTHOUGH Tuckey was on the losing side in the doubles en- counter, he played the finest tennis of his career in scoring a three-set victory over the highly- favored Georges de Stefani, Italy’s top-ranking player, in the singles. After losing the first set, 4—86, Tuckey, who with two other fellow- countrymen is ranked tenth in Eng- land, unloosed a blistering attack that swamped the Italian star and accounted for the next two sets in short order. Tuckey won the second set, 6—2, and the concluding chap- ter, 6—4. “Bunny” Austin partially atoned for his side’s defeat in the doubles by cutting down Bernard in straight sets in the singles, winning 6—4, 6—1. Other singles results included Nigel Sharpe, England, defeated Antoine Gentien, France, 3—6, 6—4. 9—17; Jean Samazeuilh, France de- feated H. Cartwright, England, 6—0, €—1, and M.

BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer. T.. ANNES-ON-THE-SEA, Eng- land, May 18.—Tonight's low descending sun over the Irish Sea found Lawson Little and 224 rivals for his British amateur golf championship cleared for action. As the Royal Lytham course, over which the husky Californian will de- fend his title beginning Monday, will be closed tomorrow, most of the competitors got in what will prove to be their final practice licks today. Little dispiayed unmistakable signs of approaching staleness in today’s round with Cyril Tolley, Dan R. Top- ping, one of the American entrants, and T. A. Dale Bourn. After shooting the first nine in 34, the champion sliced his drives all over the home stretch, winding up with a 75 to tie Tolley. However, the Little-Topping combination de- feated Tolley and Bourn, 4 and 3. Despite his wobbly showing before a big gallery on the back-breaking home nine, the young Californian re- mained a firm 5-to-1 favorite in the betting, being challenged only by Jock McLean, the Scottish ace, at Ttol. Thompson Rated Third. ECTOR THOMPSON, the Irish champion, is placed third by the bookies, at 9 to 1, followed by T. Suffern Tailer, jr., of Piping Rock, Long Island, the metropolitan amateur champion, at 10 to 1; Ross Somerville, the Canadian, at 12 to 1, and the veteran Tolley at the same figures. The only other Americans flattered by the gamblers are Richard M. (Dick) Chapman of Greenwich, Conn., and Harvey W. Shaffer of New York. They are quoted at 20 to 1 and 25 to 1, re- spectively. The big surprise was the price quoted on Leslie Garnett, the long- hitting Englishman who extended Lit- tle in the semi-finals at Prestwick last year. He is a 25-to-1 shot, despite a pair of fine 73s today. Little and McLean sre in different halves of the draw.

Engineers of the United States Rubber Co. have figured out that the ball stays on the club-face for only a half-inch of its travel, and that it is all done so fast it's almost unbelievable.

T. 150-Pound Crews Tie—Harvard Wins Varsity Contest. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, May 18—Harvard celebrated the first appearance of a Crimson crew on the Harlem River in more than half a century today by defeating the varsity boats of Columbia and Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology in & mile and three-quarters race. ‘The regatta, triangular only so far as the varsity race was concerned, was marked by one of the rarest occur- rences in the sport—a dead heat. This came in the 150-pound varsity duel between Columbia and M. I. T., whose lightweights rowed across the finish line so close together the judges called | for a draw. Harvard's victory in the varsity race was the Crimson’s first of the season. Stroked by Bob Cutler of Charles River, Mass, Harvard covered the distance in 7:50, slow in view of river conditions. The boats had the benefit of the current and there was a fairly strong following wind. Columbia Length in Rear. OLUMBIA'S boatload trailed across the finish line a length behind in 7:5435, with M. I T. only three-fifths of a second behind after a spirited rally in the last 200 yards that almost nipped Columbia at the finish. All of the races were rowed from |~ floating start due to the fact one of the stake boats broke loose from its | . | anchorage.

PFiring at 50, 100 and 200 yards, Johnson scored 1,372 points out of a possible 1,400 to win the Middle At- lantic title from Theodore Harrell of Clarendon, Va., a District National Guardsman who finished close up in second place with 1,366. Johnson’s 395 out of a possible 400 also won the Potomac Dewar match and again Harrell was second, this time only a single point behind. Johnson also was victorious in the short range individual match with 398 out of 400 and in the National Capital long range match. District ot Columbia rifiemen starred in the “Swiss match,” in which the shooter fires until he misses the bulls- | eye. John D. McNobb, now living at| Fort Bragg, N. C, but formerly a member of the D. C. civilian rifle team, made 18 consecutives bull's-eyes to take first place, followed by Dr.| Walter R. Stokes and Frank T. Par- | sons, jr.. both of Washington. Their scores were 16 and 11, respectively. Fred H. Werner, of Clintonville, | Conn., took the Capt. Hal Leizear memorial match from J. C. Jensen, | captain of the D. C. National Guard rifie team.
