’ » ‘Ryder Cup Play Shows British Slowly Coming Around to American Golf Style l Straight Off the Tee YOUNGSTERS TRY BOLDLY FOR PIN‘ U. S. Wins Classic, 9 to 3. Sarazen Pays Generous Tribute to Busson. BY BOB CAVAGNARO, Associated Press Sports Writer. IDGEWOOD, N. J., September 30.—The 1935 Ryder Cup golf | matches, which resulted in a | 9-to-3 victory for the United States, showed definitely that the | American style of play—shooting for the pin rather than just the green— | is slowly “taking” in the British Isles. American greens are much smaller than those in England, where most | players are content to land anywhere | on the putting surface. But two‘ young Britons, 23-year-old Jack Bus- | son and 25-year-old Bill Cox, made an indelible impression on the home forces yesterday with their boldness in going for the flag. Gene's Greatest Match. INEITHER player won his smgles; match. Busson lost 3 and 2 to | Gene Sarazen in what the veteran | American described as “the great.esti match of my life.” Cox broke even | with Horton Smith in 36 holes. | “Busson is the greatest player Eng- | land has sent across since Harry | Varden,” said Sarazen. “I've never | seen such a machine. | Louis of the young golfers. | “When he had me four down at the fourteenth, I questioned whether | the old Sarazen spark could be re-| kindled.

It at- tracted a crowd of upward of 3,000. He's the Joe Wood Blows Short Putt. '‘HE other American singles vic- tories resulted as follows: Paul Runyan defeated Dick Burton, 5 and 3. 5 down at the twenty-fifth; Johnny Revolta came back to edge out Regi- nald Whitcombe, 2 and 1; Olin Dutra conquered Alf Padgham. 4 and 2, and Henry Picard disposed of Ernest Whit- combe, 3 and 2. Craig Wood, from Deal. N. J., was the only American casualty. After leading Percy Alliss by four holes in the early stages, he missed a 3-foot putt on the thirty-sixth green to lose, 1 down. Rival open champions, Alf Perry of England and Sam Parks, jr., of Pitts- burgh, and Smith and Cox broke even. Smith had Cox 6 down at the twen- tieth and then collapsed, while the Briton ground out pars steadily to wipe out the defieit and lead 1 up at the end of the twenty-seventh. | The Americans’ victory gave them | 8 3-2 edge In the international series | and emphasized the fact “the home | team always wins.” The Britons have won twice at home. iy, MONUMENT NETMEN EARN TEAM LAURELS Sweep Matches With Army-Navy Group—Justice Crown Won by Sherfy.

By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga. September 30.— Oklahoma City’s Texas League cham- pions jumped into the lead in the ennual Dixie series by taking the first tilt of the seven-game series with Atlanta, Southern Association stand- ard bearers, 7 to 4. To the dismay of 15,000 vociferous fans, the Indians jumped on Bud Thomas in the early innings to roll up a four-run lead while the Crackers were washing their frequent hits off Niggeling. The score was 7-0 before the locals first scored in the seventh inning. The teams will meet in the second game here today. MARYLAND A. C. TIED. RICHMOND, Va., September 30 (Special) —Six thousand fans watched the Maryland A. C. of Washington hold the strong Richmond Arrows to a 0-0 tie here yesterday. Opposing quarterbacks were Roger Leverton and Jimmy West, former teammates at University of Richmond. THE EVEN SkLlI of U. S. Pros Around Cup Bests BY W. R. McCALLUM, By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. IDGEWOOD, N. J, September 30.—Better from 20 yards down to the hole than its opposition, the best of Ameri- can professional golf today holds a well-earned victory over the best that British professional golf can produce, victors in the international series for the Ryder Cup by the im- | pressive margin of 9 points to 3. Completely subdued as the British were in the fifth renewal of the matches for the historic trophy put up by Samuel W. Ryder in 1929, they made a good impressipn in the matches which ended here yesterday, splitting three of the singles and dropping four matches to give the Americans the edge by 9 to 3. The real story of these matches is that the British were as good as the Britain’s Ryder Golfers home boys from tee to green, but around the cup the Americans were superior, as they have proved in many championships over the last 15 years, The victory of the Yankees gave them the edge in the series that started back in 1929 by 3 matches to 2 and plainly indicated the su- periority of American professional golf. The real fact is that the Americans have so much more com- petition than the British that they are keyed up to win far more than the visitors. Out, of it all Sam Parks, American open champ, emerges in the role of a semi-hero. Called a fluke champion after his Oakmont win last June, Sam held Alf Perry, British open titleholder, all square over the final match, holing & 20-foot putt on the last green to square when he was 1 down to the squatty Briton.
