A—16 SPORTS. FORVANKEEPRS Great Match Performer Now Must Be Regarded | as Possible Jones. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HE main item of interest to Americans in the recent Brit- | ish open golf championship was not that Alfred Perry of England won the title, but rather | that W. Lawson Little, the Califor- | nian, finished in a tie for fourth place with a score of 289. [Little’s per- formance at Muirfield stamped him A8 a coming medal play star and gave our star professionals something to worry over for the next vear and some vears to come. A few days before the British open & group of professionals were dis- g the event in the locker room e Medinah Country Club of Chicago. Henry Cotton was the fa- vorite of most of the journeymen par busters. “What about Little?” | some one asked. “He's not a medal player,” replied one well-known star.

Mickal, who refused a seat in the State Senate last year after Huey Long had offered it to him, at first was thought to be through with ath- letics because of the seriousness of the injury. but the medicos now assert such fears are groundless. —A. P, Photo, Bears Out Armour. "‘YOU mean he's not a great medal player yet.” interrupted Tommy Armour, who taught Little the finer points of iron play and started him on his way to winning three national | amateur championships in two Sum- mers. “Little is by all odds the great- et match player among the ama- teurs today, and he may develop into 8 great medalist. He has length and he has accuracy. His iron play is improving right along and he's a good | putter, The boy may become as much of & star at medal play as he is at match and ix likely to win a national open championship before long.” Little proved the accuracy of Ar- mour’s prediction when he played the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, SETTLING TITLE District Team Honors Hang on Matches Today With Chevy Chase Ahead. ISTRICT woman golfers came to the end of the long| tournament trail today at | the Woodmont Country Club where they settled the little matter of the team championship, & job which | has hung fire since away back last| April. With only a few more tourna- ments slated to be played during the balance of the year, the women’'s schedule virtually will be completed today. Chevy Chase, with a lead of 4 poinis | over Congressional, clashed with | Beaver Dam in the closing contest, | while Congressional, mustering all possible strength, met Indian Bpring. | | At the wind-up of the team series | two factors stand out on which action | is slated to be taken at the annual | meeting of the women's association next December. These are the Scotch foursome method of play, and the matter of defaulted matches. The | Scotch foursome system has not been popular, particularly among the better players. Two of them, in fact, re- fused to play in the team matches because of the system. Delaulted matches are certain to come in for | | some revision at the annual meeting. | The records of the contests show thet the leading team benefited by 18 de- faulted points during this vear's series | of matches, Ed White, the 21-year-old Texas IN CHESS CIRCLES lad, who won the national inter- collegiate crown Saturday, was to remain in town {or a day or two see- ing the sights of Washington.
