Little, to concentrate on the work at hand, shot when it counts most. Speaks With Authority. O MAN in the game knows more about Little's ability than Francis, for the Bostonian, as captain of the | Walker Cup team, has watched him carefully from the time they clashed in the national championship back in 1929, when Ouiment eked out a bare | 1-up victory over the slugging kid from San Francisco. | With the utmost respect for the deadly monotony of the par-leveling | game of Bob Jones, and his record of five United States amateur cham- pionships in seven years, Ouimet | places Little on a higher pedestal as a match player than the great Bobby. | “Bob primarily was a medal player. | He mowed down his opponents with | the flawless stroking of the finest | game of them all. He made few errors in shotmaking,” Francis said. “But Lawson Little, like Travers, makes errors. He is not the golfing machine that Jones was in his cham- pionship days. And, like Travers, the reigning American and British ama- teur champion can make errors and | still pull out a game against any op- ponent. He has shown the most tre- | mendous capacity for winning at| match play of any man I have seen | since Travers. And, like the great Jerry, he is one of the finest putters the game has seen. Lawson is a tre- mendous hitter from the tee, but it | takes more than tremendous hitting to win.” Has Will to Win. "“HTH 5o many good golfers around, what in your opinica makes Little stand out as a match player? Granted that he has the mechanical | equipment what is it he has that brings him through?” we asked | Francis. “He has that attribute of all great | match players, the will to win,” Francis said. “Coupled with implicit faith in his own ability to make the | shot the situation calls for, and a great putting stroke, he has the abil- ity to concentrate in the tight spots | and to shut out everything from his mind but the execution of the shot. “Jerry Travers had it as few players before or since have had it. And I think Lawson Little has it to the same degree. He is going to top the amateurs as long as he uses that con- centration. He may become another Jones. Certainly he has done enough over the past two years to rate him as one of the great ones of golf or any other game.” D. C. NETMEN PLAY NAVY A delegation of Washington'’s best tennis players will move on Annapolis today to provide practice for the Navy team in the middies’ preparation for the Army-Navy Leech Cup matches to be held here on July 20.

Dave Mitchell, 1934 national public links golf champion, will be defending his title over his own home course, Coffin, in Indianapolis this Summer. PORTS. THE. SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, Indian Spring Bills Galaxy of Golf Aces Houghton and Diffenbaugh Will Face Parks, Picard, Sarazen, Hagen, Thompson and Wood. TRIPLE-BARRELED pro- gram of exhibition matches, in which six of the stars of professional golf will ap- pear at Indian Spring during late July and August, was announced last night by Al Houghton, execu- tive secretary of ihe Indian Spring Country Club. In all the matches Houghton and George Diffenbaugh will pair against the invaders. Houghion is the playing pro at Indian Spring, in addition to being the executive head of the club. Arrangements were being com- pleted today to bring Gene Sarazen and Walter Hagen here in the first of the series, the probable date to be July 27. 'In quick succession, at intervals of two weeks, will come such stars as Sam Parks, the new national open king, paired with Jimmy Thompson, who finished second to Parks in the racent championship at Oakmont, and Henry G. Picard, the tall pine from Hershey, Pa.. and Craig Wood, the blond slugger from Deal, N. J. Parks and Thompson now are on a barnstorming tow of the coun- try, picking up the exhibition dol- lars where they may in a game that has almost been piayed out. Parks appeared here as an amateur, when he captained the Penn golf team, but he has aot shown his meticu- lous game around Washington since he turned pro. Thompsoa is more or less a jocai product. When his dad, Wilfred Thompson, held down the professicra! berth at Burning Tree, Jimmy laid the foundation for tliose booming tee shots, the sam: lcngthy wallops that have won him fame as the longest hitter of th® game today. A gate fee will be charged to witness all the matclies, Houghton said. 100 GIRLS LISTED FOR TENNIS EVENT Battles for Playgrounds Singles Championship Start Wednesday. girls’ singles tennis tourna- ment, sponsored by the De- partment of Playgrounds, which opens at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning.

L. w. L Rock Creek Pierce Mill STRAIGHT OIT THE VEE by W.R.MSCALLUM HAT duel between the two Stevens brothers of Rockville —Eddie, the assistant pro at the Manor Club, and Claggett, assistant at the Congressional Country Club—still is brewing. But until the two brothers meet at match play over their two courses Eddie has stolen a march on Brother Clagget with one of the finest pieces of golf scoring done around Washington in recent months. Eddie played his home course in 70 strokes last Friday afternoon, tieing the par of the layout, and showing L. T. Souder, Harvey Cooper and Ralph Gibson what an up-and-coming young pro can do when he gets set for action. He played the nines in 37 and 33, picking up only two birdies. He canned a 12 footer for a 3 on the par 4 tenth, and chipped one up so close at the long par 5 fifteenth that his putt for a birdie couldn’t be missed. Eddie holed all his putts, and had e brace of three-putt greens, on the woods nine. Jack Quigley of the Army - Navy Country Club hasn’t been able to do much in tournament around Wash- ington, but the young man struck a streak of hot golf at Hot Springs, Va., last week which rewarded him with & 76 and enabled him to come within 8 stroke of tieing for the medal in the Virginia State championship. Caught on the last nine in a tor- yential rainstorm Jack tossed away his chances to win the medal after getting out in 36, Two golf tournaments are listed at local golf clubs for next Wednes- day. They are the “duffers” tourney, for women golfers at Beaver Dam, end the mixed two-ball tournament of the Maryland State Golf Association, to be played at Columbia. Mrs. H. R. Quinter and George J.

Otell and Nolan will play a return match on Tuesday at Columbia against | Luther C.

AN FRANCISCO, July 6.— The San Francisco Bay area let out & Western war whoop today as Helen Wills Moody once more donned the regal robes of queen of tennis. There were cheers, too, for the valient battle of her rival, Helen Jacobs, the Berkeley miss who, in the all-England championships, has never been able t5 quite meas- ure up to the standard set by the older of California’s famous Hel- ens. San Prancisco, Mrs. Moody’s home city since her marriage, off:- cially acclaimed her feat at Wim- bledon when Mayor Argelo J. Rossl cabled: “Sincere congratulations on your victory.” One of the first to extend con- - gratulations to the winner was Mrs. Eula Jacobs, mother of Helen Jacobs. “I would have liked to have seen my Helen win, nut I am glad it was a California girl who won the championship,” she said. “My daughter is just approaching the peak of her real game and she has lots of good tennis ahead.” Frederick Moody, jr. oil com- pany salesman here and “tennis widower,” abandoned customary reticence long enough to say: “I am very glad Helen won. I knew she had & fighting chance and that last-set come-back was a thriller.” Dr. C. A. Wills, father of the champion, said: “My daughter apparently has returned to her old form. She had made steady progress toward that form since she decided to enter the Wimble- 4 don matches. It is remarkable she was able to make such a come- back after two years’ absence from the courts. “I feel she is completely what she was before she suffered the back injury at Forest Hills and I am doubly happy—for her victory and her return to physical health.” Howard Kinsey, former interna- tionalist who helped coach Mrs. Moody auring her pie-comeback training, described the achieve- ment as “the most amazing” in his experience. “Mrs. Moody proved she is one of the finest competitors tennis has known.” Kinsey had high praise also for Miss Jacobs. Mrs. Moody'’s mother, Mrs. C. A. Wills, left town before receiving word of her daughter’s victory but before departing she eaid she was “confident of the outcome.” D, C. JULY 7. Rippy as Favorite.
