SPORTS. o IDEAL CONDITIONS ARE CITED BY GENE Layouts Not as Difficult as Those in U. S. When Weather Is Right. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HREE of the last four British open golf championships have been won with the low score of 283. Gene Sarazen won | with that score at Frinces in 1932, to establish a aew scoring record and | knock two strokes -off the previous | low total of 285 made by Bobby Jones Wt St. Andrews, in 1927. Last year Henry Cotton cid & 283 when win- ning at Sandwich, and last week Al- fred Perry duplicated the score at Muirfield. Nothing like that ever has hap- pened in the United States open, where 286 is th> low mark and has been done only twice: By Chick Evans at Minnikahda in 1916 and again by Gene Sarazen at Fresh Meadow in 1932. So I asked Sarazen, who shares the low-scoring record for both the British and United States opens. the | reason for the fast pace being set in Great Britain, o Seell(s Revenge JACK DONOVAN, West Coast husky, is burning to turn tables on Joe Savoldi when they meet toright in the feature of the wrestling program at Grif- fith Stadium. Due to Course Conditions. “JT'S the courses,” replied Sarazen. “High scores n tke British open | ‘were due to course conditions. When" the championship was played early | in the Spring, the courses usually were | heavy and a player was forced ta com- bat high winds as an additional hazard. But waen that champion- £hip is played late 12 June and under Summer conditions, vhe British courses are not so difficuli as those in the United States. Tne fairways allow much more latitede and I do not think the greens are any more tricky. “When I scored 283 in winning at Princes, conditions were the most| ideal I ever saw. Muirfield, where Perry won, is not a hard course ex cept when the fairways are heavy | and the winds are high. The idea | that British courses are more diffi- | cult than those in America is more or less a fable.” Tours With Girl Star. SARAZEN does not intend competing in any mos2 tournamen:s this Summer. He has sterted an extended exhibition tour, with “Babe” Didrik- son as a partner, and if the ~xpedi- tion is a financial success, he may even skip the P. G. A. championship at Oklahoma C: Gene heiieves Miss Didrikson is going to develop into a great zolfer. “I played a round with her recently | and on that day I would have tacked her against almost any woman golfer in the world,” related Sarazen. “She is a fine putter and 1 was surprised at the delicacy and accuracy >f her stroke on the graens. She can drive further than any woman and with most of the top-notch man players and needs only to improve her short game. I believe that, with some intensive instruction, Miss Didrikson will be a grand player before the Summer is finished.” | | | ELIMINATES RUNABOUTS Held Too Slow for Annual Re- gatta at Herald Harbor. By a unanimous vote, the Tri-City | regatta race officials yesterday elim- | inated the runabouts from the annual event, to be held July 27 and 28 at Herald Harbor. Declaring the regatta to be a full schedule of races of faster boats in other classes, affording maxi- mum interest and thrills for the ma- Jority of spectators, the officials stated that the runabouts had made the poorest showing in previous regattas. The chairman of the American Power Boat Association in New York approved the elimination.

C., THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1935.. LET ROUGH GROW, SLICE FAIRWAYS Soft Sand Will Make Going Harder in Bunkers—Al Houghton Busy. NDIAN SPRING is going to be toughened up for the group of amateur par-busters who will play there in the national champion- ship section qualification rounds on August 20. Never the easiest golf course around ‘Washington, but one that does become a fairly easy scoring proposition when the fairways are fast during the late Summer, Indian Spring is going to be made into a tough test for the ama- teurs and for the pros who will play SPORTS. to the Houghton man. This same Al, who used to be the Xenwood pro, has taken hold of affairs at Indian Spring with a vengeance, and in addition to throwing & lot of paint around on the old locker room, installing new show- ers and otherwise doing his Spring cleaning up in the Summer, is plan- ning on making the golf course a rougher proposition for the aspiring amateurs and the par-busting pros. O years back, when the Mary- land amateur championship was | held at Indian Spring, scores of 70 and | better were as common as hardheads in Chesapeake Bay. And there isn't | anything commoner than that. The reason was that the rough, what there was, was thin stuff which didn't| amount to anything, the ball got a big | run from the tee, the putting greens | were soft and would hold pitches and, | all in all, the scoring was & cinch the | | way the course was groomed. But it's going to be different this | year, if what Houghton says comes | true. For one thing he is going to pull |in the rough at about the 200-yard | mark, marrowing down those wide- L3 thick and wiry. It used to be that way at Indian Spring, 10 years ago, when that course was really tough. Furthermore, he plans to dump a lot of nice new, white sand in those bunk- ers, which will make the neat little chip shot from the sand a pretty thing, if it can be done. But it won't be done from soft sand. “We are going to toughen up this golf course,” Al says. “We are going to make it so tough that the man who shoots the par of 71 will have done & , Jot. of golf ball hitting. And we are going to keep it tough. If the boys can hit those narrow fairways, O. K., out they will be something to hit. And the rough isn't going to be anything to play with. That's the way a golf course should be—tough, but fair.” Meanwhile, the amateurs have only a little less than a month to get their entries in to the U. S. G. A. for the sectional tests. The fee of five bucks must accompany the entry. . BOKARS WANT GAME. Bokar's All-Stars of the A. & P. League want a game Saturday.
