B-—18 One Round Above 74 Means Elimination—Peacock Defeat a Tragedy. BY W. R. McCALLUM. LEVELAND, September 14— They are making the na- tional amateur champion- ship so tough nowadays that good golf won't do any more. The | days when matches were being won with 75s and 76s are gone. They prob- ably never will come back. To get | snywhere in the tourney which ended yesterday at the country club here you've got to be strictly on your stick and not for one day and a couple of matches, but for six days and eight matches. One round above 74 and you are out. That'’s how tough the going has become in this champion- ehip. It used to be that a fellow could find a soft spot or two along the road, a breathing spell where he could let up from the continuous pressure. But there aren't any soft spots any more. Any kid from Kalamazoo or Oshkosh or anywhere is liable to knock off a champion—any time. Lawson Little found it out in his first few matches. He didn't play a match early in the game in which some hot boy didn't slip a flock of birdies at him and make the beetle-browed Stanford boy buckle down and show the stuff of which a champion is made. Had he been a little less a champion—a little less & shotmaker, he would have been snuffed out in the first round by young Rufus King. But Lawson played the back nine so well in that tournament and kept the pressure on so contin- uously from the ninth hole on that no one was able to stay with him over | the backstretch. It's getting so that | even a champion isn't immune from | being knocked over like any dub. They have no respect for titles any more, Peacock’s Putting a Tragedy. OGER PEACOCK found out that a couple of missed putts will put a guy out of the tournament in a hurry. | It really was a shame that any boy | playing the kind of golf that Pea- | cock plaved should have been licked by the scrambling sort of game that Eddie Held put up. On the shots from tee to green | Roger outranged and outmaneuvered | the Held man, but on the putting greens, where golf matches are won and lost, there was no comparison. Held was knocking down everything and Roger was missing everything. When you get a combination like | that you can't win any golf match. But Roger will be back for more next year. The Indian Spring lad | has picked up a hatful of experience | in shotmaking and match-winning | technique and it won't be many years before he goes a long way in the championship. Already he has done | well, in his first match play attempt | and had his putter not gone com- pletely democratic, he might have gone further. But that's the way of championships. The minute a guy ! gets a shade off. the other fellow |, jumps into the breach and crushes his way on to win. There aren't any breathing spots anywhere along the | Reputations Don’t Count. 1 A LOOK at the boys in the last eight | o shows that American golf no longer is & matter for monoply by 8 small group. It used to be 15| years ago that you could -1"“\ count on Evans, Ouimet, and a couple\ of others to reach the semi-final. | But those days have gone. In the last eight in the 1935 national were a flock of names that have onlv‘ been local headlines before, gqu named Lynch, Munger, Haas and Kocsis. Of course, all of them are | well known to cognoscenti, if there is such a thing in golf, but they haven't been around in nationals long enough or far enough to get any- where. As a matter of fact in that | last eight the only guys well knov\n‘ were Little, Voigt and Goodman nnd‘ sll of them were bunched in the | bottom bracket where they had to kill ‘each other off. The tipoff is that no matter how big your reputation is you are just & bum until you have proven your right to belong up there in the rari- fied circles of the amateur champion-' #hip. Of course a lot of folk think Joe Lynch is a great golfer. He may be and all that, but Joe is just| another one of the good guys who | gathered here. Peacock probably could lick Joe and Joe went along fairly well in the championship. It all depends on how that putter is working and whether you catch the other fellow red-hot and burning, or whether he is just lukewarm. Any way you look at it, this amateur golf championship is the greatest scramble in sport. LUCKITE TAKES RACE Repeats in Jumping Event for| Piping Rock Cup. NEW YORK, September 14 ()— J. W. Y. Martin’s strong finisher, Luckite, today won the Piping Rock Cup, feature event of the Rockaway Hunts Association meeting, for the #econd year in succession. Luckite, a split favorite at 3 to 2, eame fast in the stretch of the 21;- mile brush race to win by a length from the Northwood Stable’s Argo- haute II. Mrs. George Atwell, jr.'s, Huffy was a bang-up third. Mrs. John Hay Whitney's Cold Punch, which shared the favorite’s position with Luckite, fell at the brush jump in front of the grandstand. Little (Continued from Fifteenth Page.) touch he has acquired only recently he bowled it in for the eagle. Emery did not try for his birdie from three feet.

Park Courts where began the season's last tournament, spon- sored by the Department of Play- grounds, but not a single match caused the lifting of an eyebrow or | a sympathetic shake of the head. Oh, there were some who expressed mild surprise when Harry March, Tech High's strapping youngster who | = | earlier in the day had formed half of the championship mixed doubles team of the playgrounds, whipped George Washington's captain, Ted Pierce, 6—4, 7—5 and a few “ahs” were heard when little sun-tanned David Johnsen trimmed Austin Rice, 10—8, 6—3, but on the whole the 20 matches played ran true to form. Dooly Mitchell, Tony Latona, Tom Markey and Mather were the seeded players to win. The other four fa- vorites—Barney Welsh, Ralph Mc- Elvenny, Hugh Lynch and Ricky Willis were winding up their affairs in the Frederick, Md., tournament, but all except Willis will start firing today. Today’s stand-out match, if it is played as scheduled, will send Bob Considine, former District champion against Harry March. A trip to New York last night, however, may post- pone Considine’s match with March until tomorrow. Doubles matches will start this afternoon with the draw being made at noon.

LUCILLE McDOWELL and Harry March, mixed tennis doubles champions of the Burroughs Play- ground, proved themselves the best | team of that sort among the city's | 36 playgrounds yesterday when they defeated the Virginia avenue pair of Willle O'Steen and Billy Contreras, 6—3, 6—3, for the city title. The match, played on the Chevy | Chase courts, concluded the first | mixed doubles championship tour- nament ever sponsored by the De- | partment of Playgrounds. A willingness to storm the net, ever the decisive factor. in doubles | play, turned the tide in favor of the | Burroughs pair. In contrast, Willie | and Billy were loathe to advance from | backcourt and were frequent victims | of their opponents’ sharply-angled or | drop shots. | The most impressive feature of the V match was the skillful handling of | volleys by Lucille, who showed a deft touch in returning hot drives. That | | the pretty Burroughs lass is fast be- | coming one of the most promising | young players of the city is realized when, in addition to aiding in the winning of a championship, earlier season play is recalled. BRITISH GOLF PROS HEAD FOR AMERICA Team of 10 Is Confident of Victory Over Yanks in Ryder Cup Series. By the Associated Press, ONDON, September 14.—Brim- L ful of confidence and deter- mined to register the first “foreign victory” of the inter- national series, ten British profes- sional golfers started for the United States today to meet an American team in the fifth of the Ryder Cup series at Ridgewood, N. J., September 28-29. In the past four biennial matches, the host team always has triumphed. But the veteran Charley Whitcombe, captain of the invading Britons, says it will be a different story this time. “We'll win,” said Whitcombe, who | has been a member of every British team. “I feel sure of it. It's the best possible side that could be chosen and all of the players have shown remark- able form in recent weeks. We're out for a big victory to restore Brit- ish golfing prestige to the full.” . Looks for Lost Brother. BILL COX, one of the new members of the team, has a dual purpose. | While in America he's going to look for a longlost brother from whom | he hasn’t heard in 20 years. ‘The players entrained on the boat train for Southampton to embark on | the Empress of Australia for Quebec,‘ | where they are scheduled to arrive late next Friday.
