ASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1935. AS FIELD SHRINKS Champion Is Seven Under Par for 28 Holes in Winning Twice. BY PAUL MICHELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. LEVELAND, September 12— That Little man was growing bigger today. | As 15 others answered the starter's call with him for the fifth | round of battle in the thirty-ninth national amateur golf championship, | Lawson Little, jr. San Francisco's broad-shouldered par slugger supreme, | was such a pronounced favorite that | he was even money to win his fourth | amateur crown in succession. | Out of a series of sharp explosions | that blew the last of the former title- holders out of the trenches yesterday, that Little man did a lot of dynamit- ing of s own to crush two game young foes and hun his string of con- secutive conquests to 27 straight. Blasting par by seven blows over the | 28 holes he traveled, he mowed down | Knox Young, jr., Pittsburgh insurance salesman, 6 and 5, and Bobby Rlege\.‘ Southern amateur champion, from | Virginia, 5 and 3. ‘The seemingly hopeless job of short- | circuiting the San Francisco power- house, who takes the fight out of his rivals right from the tee with 280 | to 300 yard drives, fell to Warrington | McCullough, jr., an automotive supply salesman from Philadelphia, in the first of the last two 18-hole “sudden- death” duels today. ALL eyes, those of the players and galleries alike, werc fixed on Lit- tle and his bid for his second succes- sive “double”—two British and two American amateur championships— but there was plenty of class left in the fleld. As such sharpshooters as Ross Somerville of Canada, Charles | Yates of Atlanta, Dave Goldman and | Reynolds Smith of Dallas and Ed White, national intercollegiate cham- pion, were upset yesterday, the hottest eeries of rounds in the tournament's 89-year-old play were scored. Not a former champion was left standing and only one previous final- ist, John Goodman of Omaha, still fought on. Goodman, making his best title showing in three years, won two tough matches yesterday. In the last quarter with Little was ‘Willie Turnesa, one of the seven noted golfing Turnesa brothers, who actually was eager to get a crack at Little. Last year at Brookline Willie, 20-year-old undergraduate at Holy Cross, was stopped by Little in the quarter final, | 3 and 2, and to this day still thinks he can beat him. Lots of Class Left. Voigt Is Tough Pickings. WILLE has been playing superbly all week, but must beat George Voigt, veteran from Mamaroneck, a | tough rival in any league, to earn | another crack at the champion—if Little doesn't get upset himself. | Voigt survived his fourth match by | sinking a 20-foot putt for a birdie | on the nineteenth to beat George | Enos, Cleveland youngster. | Second only to Little in yesterday's | massed attack on par was Walter Emery of Oklahoma City, 1933 na- | tional intercollegiate champion. The Oklahoman was four under par in the afternoon, rubbing out Pat Saw- yer of Minneapolis with the almost incredible number of four deuces. Emery’s next opponent is the veteran Eddie Held of Jamesburg, N. Y., who seems to improve with age. Eddie beat Scotty Campbell of Seattle in the morning in a match that was so hot that he needed a subpar 70 to win and then on the eighteenth hole. In the afternoon, Eddie vanquished Roger Peacock, the celebrated 62- shooter from Washington, D. C., 2 and 1. Carries on for Canada. ARRYING on for Canada was the last foreign threat, John Nash, a clubmate of Somerville from London, | Ontario. Nash was one under par in defeating Yates, 3 and 2, in the big- | gest upset of the fourth round. To- | day he meets young Fred Haas, jr., | of New Orleans, former Southern | champion. | Jack Munger, young Texan and | Duke University undergraduate, turned | in the largest margin of. victory yes- | terday, trouncing Bill Chambers of Chicago, 7 and 6. He now meets| Harry Given of Seattle, a dark horse who still gallops. Cleveland had two survivors to pro- vide thrills for the home folks—Ed- -ward Meister and Oliver Transue— but their biggest star was on the side- lines. Maurice McCarthy was defeated | by Charles Kocsis, former Big Ten champion from Michigan, in another thriller, 1 up.

(Former Emperor of Golf.) LEVELAND, September 12. —Ordinarily designed as black Wednesday because of the customary massacre of favored contestants, yesterday was only a little less hectic this year than in the past. Most no- table among the fallen are Scotty Campbell. Charlie Yates and Ross Sommerville. Not one of them played badly. In fact they all played well, but, as Somerville ex- pressed it, not well enough. In these three matches, if no- where else, one finds plenty of evidence to support the suspicion that something more than skill and competitive spirit are needed to go through one of these fields. No matter how good or how much better than the others a man hap- pens to be, he is bound to take as many as 71 or 72 in some round. Every one in this tournament has been that high, or gane far enough to make these scores or higher in- evitable. Yet Scotty Campbell's 71 in the morning got him nothing. A whole lot depends on timing one’s best rounds where they will do the most good. Little, without doubt, has played the best golf so far. But on each day and in each round except yes- terday morning’s there has been some one who has attained better figures. Of course, they haven't made these figures against Little, which is somewhat different. But they might. Up to the moment he has not been pressed, at any rate for long. The challenges | thrown at him have flared bril- liantly at first, but have been dis- sipated quickly when he has shown resistance. I still can’t see that he is likely to meet any sustained effort which he cannot beat down in an 18-hole match, and over the long route he will be d4n even Patty Bers.

Roger Pea- cock, last Washingtonian in the tour- | ney, vanished from the big joust yes- terday when his putter went com- pletely awry. But Eddie Held, the guy who beat him, is up against a hot boy today in Walter Emery, the Oklahoma City lad who played in the inter- collegiate tourney at Congressional. Roger is sticking around for a look at the show and will leave for home to- | morrow, satisfied that golf matches are won and lost three feet from the cup. That match he lost to Held was just that, for if ever a match was won on the putting green, Held won that one around the cup. And by the same { token Roger lost it around the hole. | You won't find Roger blowing three- 7 Lobs and Volleys ISTRICT racketers have until | 6 p.m. tomorrow to enter the | last tennis tournament of the | year which will start Satur- day on the Potomac Park courts. | Entries are being taken at Spald-‘l street, or the Playground Department in the District Building. Today at 5 o'clock John Hatch and | Dewitt Bennett will take to the courts | for one set with Don Bent and Jack 1 Latimer, which will decide the doubles championship of the embassy tourna- | ment. When they resumed play yes- terday, after a week's lay-off, it seemed certain that Hatch and Ben- | nett could take one game in the first | four to cop the title, inasmuch ul they were leading two sets to none ! and 5—2 in the championship match | halted by rain. But Latimer and Bent rallied to | take the third set, 9—7, and then swept on to a 7—5 victory to deadlock the match. Lucille McDowell and Harry March of Burroughs swept to an impressive first-round victory in the playground doubles championship, which opened on the Chevy Chase ‘courts, and ap- pear worthy of the rank as the tour- nament favorites which they com- mand. They defeated the Hoover team of Fugitt and Kramer and two} love sets. Billy Contreras and Willie O'Steen, almost equal favorites, advanced to | J_AWSON LITTLE, the guy the boys | foot putts in many rounds, but he blew three of them yesterday. They | spelled the margin of victory for Held. | have been gunning for with pea shooters, met Bill McCullough of Phil- adelphia in the fifth round today and figured to take Mr. McCullough like he has taken every one else they have thrown to him. But this afternoon it may be quite a different story. If he gets by McCullough, who has a habit of holing lengthy putts at embar- rassing moments, he meets either Wil- lie Turnesa, the hot kid from Elms- | ford, N. Y., or George Voigt, the trans- | planted Capitalian, who learned his | game on the wind-swept reaches of East Potomac Park. And if he gets by both of these matches he probably will draw John Goodman, the Omaha veteran, who is hot on the trail of his first amateur championship. The soft spots are over today. From now on, with eight matches this morning and four this afternoon, there are not any more push-overs left in the championship. 1t is all tough going from now on, but Lawson is the big shot, the guy the boys all are after. Bobby Riegel, the tall Southern champion from Rich- mond, had his chance yesterday after- noon and fell by 5 and 3 before the dynamite that is Lawson Little. The guy really is getting to be a symbol for a quick licking. He has now won 27 straight national champiqnship matches and still he goes on. And he hasn't had a really hot complete round shot at him yet. McCullough, who licked Jack Westland of Chicago yesterday, may do it today, but even that isn't likely. George Voigt or ; i the second round by default. Play continues today. Willie Turnesa will be something else Peacock Erased From Tourney When Putter Plays Him Fals | Lawson Little in this golf tournament again this afternoon. Tee to Green, " | OGER PEACOCK went down scrap- ping against the errors of a put- R ! ter that simply wouldn't put the ball | in the cup. It was a real tragedy, the way the golf match was played, that Roger didn't win that fourth- round contest against Eddie Held yes- terday. Outstroking the New Yorker | from tee to green, Roger lost his put- | ting touch completely, while Eddie had | a magic putter that couldn't miss. Roger might have been 6 up at the turn had Eddie's putter not been so | lethal, for Held was all over the land- scape from tee to green and Was knocking everything in when he reached the green. Even with one three-putt green. Held used only 13 putts for the first nine, which he ended all square with Roger. And he used only 29 putts for the 17 holes of the match. Roger was in- side on almost every hole from tee to green, but he blew short ones on the | ninth, twelfth and fourteenth, putts which eventually cost him the golf match. Held had no fewer than six one-putt greens on the first nine and | still Rogers was even. The putts at | the twelfth and fourteenth were fatal, | for Roger was licked on the seven- { | teenth, after he had been dormie 3 | ¥s. D. down and had won the sixteenth with a great pair of wooden club shots to | the green at this long par 5. The | whole story of that match was wrapped up in the short putts. Roger | played well enough to score a 68 or 69, but he finished two over par for 17 | holes. No man can win matches in fast company with that sort of putting. | Emery in Fine Fettle. HJELD plays Walter Emery today | and probably is due for a lick- ing. Emery played the four short holes yesterday in even 2s. Tommy Goodwin, the tall New York kid who wins everything in Florida, played | Charlie Kocsis from Detroit, the lad who licked Maurice McCarthy yes- terday with a literal pin-splitting iron shot on the eighteenth. His second shot hit the pin from 150 yards. It won him the match. Meanwhile Joe Lynch, 1935 Hoya golf captain, clashed with Oliver Transue, one of Cleveland’s boys, while John Good- man seemed to have another soft spot in Ed Meister, a home club lad. Two matches today will bring the tourney down to the semi-final at 36 holes tomorrow. If they are to lick | they had better do it today. The guy is plain arsenic in any 36-hole match. Had Bobby Riegel put on a hot round against him yesterday he might have licked Lawson, but Bobby wasn't knocking in those long putts | NY for which he has & reputation in the mid-Atlantic area.

EW YORK, September 12.— Ten years ago Bill Mc- Kechnie won & pennant with the Pittsburgh Pirates. ‘This year Bill, with the Braves, has marnaged to keep the Pirates in the first division and may land them in third place before the shooting is over.

BY BOB CAVAGNARO, Associated Press Eports Writer. OREST HILLS, N. Y., September 12.—Wilmer Allison of Austin, Tex., and Sidney Wood, jr., of | New York will meet for the United States singles tennis cham- pionship today in a best-of-five-sets match. ‘Taking their national rankings into consideration that's just as it should be. Allison tops the Nation's “first 10,” while Wood is only a notch below. Allison created a staggering upset yesterday when he scored a thrilling straight-set victory over Defending Champion Fred Perry of England. In that match it was Allison who was the world’s foremost amateur. Perry has carried that designation for the past couple of years because of his all-conquering exploits at home and abroad, but against Allison he was just another player. Allison in Great Fettle. WITH that match under his belt there appears to be no stopping Allison. Perry, indeed, suffered a painful injury to his,right kidney in the first set. But, notwithstanding, he was due for a licking, as he sald so himself after the match. Right now Allison is playing the fin- est tennis of his career. With each match he has been getting stronger. It's quite possible, however, that against Perry he reached his peak for the year. On the strength of his showing in winning from Bitsy Grant in the other semi-final i appears doubtful if Wood can stand Allison’s present fast pace. But the blond New Yorker can be counted on to put up a battle. With the completion of the Wood- Allison match the United States Lawn Tennis Association’s first combined men'’s and womens' singles champion- | ships will come to an end. The wom- ens’ tournament ended yesterday the same way it has for the past four years, with Helen Hull Jacobs of Berkeley, Calif., winning again. She beat her victim of the final a year ago, Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Brookline, Mass,, in straight sets. BASEBALL ;7% Washington vs. Cleveland AMERICAN LEAGUE PARK Tickets at Park 9 A.M.
