Golfers Look to Three Tests: TONY HADSLUNP | AFTER SURCESSES Scored Often in 1929 and 1930 and Then Suffered Some Lean Years. BY BILL BORI Associated Press Sports Writer. ONY MANERO, the Jimmy Braddock of golf, just had to win the United States open crown. Like the reigning heavyweight box- ing champion, the Greensboro, N. C., pro captured his profession’s biggest prize after lean years. Manero hadn't known the feel of big money since before he came here as professional in May, 1933 Back in 1929 Tony saw better golfing | days. He captured the Catalina | Island open that year and continued the next two years to impress the experts and win prize money for himself. | In 1930 the dapper, moustachioed pro finished first in the Pasadena | open. second in the Canadian and St. Paul open events, first in the Glens Falls open, with a sensational | 276 (his best 72-hole total), and fourth in the Metropolitan open. In 1931 Manero tried the big Euro- pean tournaments, finishing in the money in four of the five he entered. His Luck Turned. 'AF’I‘ER that run of brilliant per- formances Tony began learning first hand that Lady Luck is fickle. But he never lost confidence in his game. The years from 1931 to 1936 form almost a blank page in Manero's rec- ord, as far as golf achievements ave concerned. A few second-rate tourna- ment championships—the Westghes- | ter open (1932), the North Carolina | open (1933), and the Gen open (1935) were the high spots. | In 1935, the young golfer from New | York's Italian settlement won exactly | $1.958 in tournament play. Besides | his win in the Gen. Brock meet, his last vear's record shows he was second | in the Glens Falls open and Southeast | P. G. A. championship; and that he tied for third in the Canadian open. He lost in the third round of the P. G. A, was sixth in the Cascades | open, and tied for eighth in the Mid- | Eouth indivis : But even when the postman failed | to bring him an invitation to play | with goli's “big shots” in the August national, this son of an Italian gar- dener kept his chin high He practiced daily—with a new set ibs—gunni the national c open. New Clubs Best. ! *A BOUT the new clubs Tony says: | “They're the best I ever owned.” | His game indicates as much. i Manero qualified for the 1936 na- | tional at Charlotte, N. C., with a 148, | & score matched by three other shot- | makers and bettered by Jack Too- | mer’s 147. He won his place in & playoff. But experts who had seen him in | competition and practice the few | months before the open rated him as the section’s best bet to win His record-smashing 282—four &trokes better than the previous Amer- | ican record held jointly by Chick Evans and Gene Sarazen—proved they were right. | Tony. a 31-year-old caddie born in New York City, b sional represen ever in win the York to come through.

HREE more big golf tourna- ments—two of them junior affairs—remain on the sched- ule for the links clan around Washington® before Summer and va- cations chase competitive golf from the sport limelight. Two big affairs will be staged next week, with the Maryland State Golf | Association’s amateur championship | due to be run off at the Hillendale Club, near Baltimore, where Ernie Caldwell, the tall blond from Hillen- dale, will defend his State title. The | other will be the District junior cham- pionship at the Woodmont Country | Club, where Billy Shea, the Western schoolboy who graduated this week, will defend the championship he won last year. Billy also will Compete in the Maryland junior tourney at the Roland Park course of the Baltimore Country Club on June 30, a 36-hole medal-play affair. Yoder is Strong Threat. EVI YODER, Kenwood star and ~ new Middle Atlantic champ, will be the main Washington threat to win the Maryland State simon-pure crown next week. Judged from the | way he waded through the field in | last week’s tourney at Five Farms, the tall brunette from Linville, N. C., will be a tough nut to crack by any of the aspiring amateurs who will gather at | Hillendale, In his path to the crown Yoder whipped Caldwell by the sound margin of 3 and 2 and then trounced Spencer | Overton, the meticulous shotmaker | from Rolling Road. Caldwell and Overton generally are ranked as the two best golfers from Maryland out- side the Washington area. But if Harry Pitt of Manor elects to play, and if Roger Peacock of Congressional returns in time to compete, Yoder will have no easy road to the title Pitt didn't play in the mid-Atlantic and Peacock has been out of the city for several weeks. 7OUNG SHEA, easily ington’s best amateurs, probably will ride through to another victory in the District junior title tourney at Woodmont. So far no one has ap- peared along the bunkered horizon who can stay along with the tall Con- gressional youngster in the ranks of the juniors. Bobby Crownell, the | blond kid from Manor the big | threat, and is plaving better than ever this year. If they are in opposite halves of the araw these two might clash in the final. Both Brownell and Shea will make a bid for the | Maryland junior crown on June 30 and between them they should win for there aren't any juniors in Mary- land who can move along with them, barring a possibility that young John Farrell of Hillendale may strike a scoring streak. Next week Washington woman golf- | ers face a brace of intercity matches ,wnth feminine club swingers from | Richmond. The first match will be played June 23 at Woodmont. and the following day they will move over to | Chevy Chase to play again. | : . : | FRANCIS JUNIOR AHEAD Randall School Finishes Second in Walker Field Games. | Prancis Junior High School won the | extramural track and field games on Walker Field vesterday, finishing 7 points ahead of the second-place Ran- dall squad.

EWARD, Alaska —Fishermen in the States might well wish they were in Alaska at this time of the angling season. Game officials urge fishermen to catch as many predatory trout as they can—and also pay a bounty of 2!, cents for each trout caught. Several anglers have earned as much as $2,000 this season. Trout eradication assures a greater supply of salmon, one of Alaska’s most important commer=- cial exports.
