SPORTS. Cox Is Rated Master Golf Shot : Mid-Atlantic Net Singles Revived BARNETT SEESD.C.] PRO AMONG 4 BEST | ‘Armour, Cruickshank, Mac Smith Also Deemed Fine Links Technicians. BY W. R. McCALLUM. HE best shotmakers in the recent national open golf scramble were not among the top three finishers, nor did they include the new champion— ‘Tony Manero. Bob Barnett Chevy Chase pro, a competitor in the national and a keen student of golf, thinks the best four player in the fracas from which Manero emerged as the new title- holder were MacDonald Smith, the 46-year-old Scot; Wiffy Cox, the Ken- wood Goif and Country Club pro; Bobby Cruickshank, the Richmond mentor, and Tommy Armour, former Congressional professional and for- mer holder of the open crown. Basing his judgment on their shot- making ability as they played in the recent tournament at Baltusrol, Bar- nett ranks these four as the best men in the tournament. Cox and | Smith tied for. fifth place at 288, | even par, while Armour and Cruick- | shank were far down the line, | Cruicky, in fact, made a poor show- ing. “I WASN'T looking for a winner,"” said Bob. “But I was inter- ested in watching men play shots | that showed their mastery of the game of golf. I waiked around | watching ’em all up there at Baltusrol and in my opinion these four men— Smith, Cox, Armour and Cruickshank —were the best shotmakers in the | tournament. “Tony won, and he thoroughly de- served to win. He played the best golf anyone showed there at Baltusrol, but for sheer shotmaking give me the four men I have named. They can go for my dough any day.” The showing of any competitor in | & 72-hole tournament doesn't always | accurately reflect the kind of golf h played, Barnett thinks. “And why? we asked him. “Because putting and chipping is so important in scoring,” Looked for Shot Masters. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C JULY 5, 1936—PART ONE. SPORTS. a new world mark yesterday at Going Over Bar for Record GEORGE VAROFF, San Francisco athlete, who pole-vaulted 14 feet 6'> inches for Princeton Meet said Bob. “You know every cham- pionship is won around the putting | green. If you aren't putting, you aren't going anywhere in the national | or sny other tournament and Khesc‘ four men didn’t happen to be putting particularly well. But for their ability to | keep on knocking the ball a long way and straight, and domg it all the time, they can go for me. Smith Makes 'Em Look Easy. ]\/[AC SMITH, according to Barnett, has beea behind the 8-ball in the | national open so long and he made | so many unsuccessful sallies that it is little short of tragic the Carmoustie Scot never has won a nluoml title. | “What a golfer he is,” sighed Bob. *What a maker of shots never to have won a national championship. I don’t | think many people realize what a great artist he is. He can make shots like no one else in the tournament | and make 'em look easy. But he just doesn’'t have that knack of getting the ball in the cup that some of the other boys have. “And don't let any one tell you that ' A Wiffy Cox isn't good,” Bob added. “When you realize that Wiffy had 88 putts in his first round of 74 and that he only had one good putting round the true greatness of his per- pormance shows up. Wiffy is one of the straightest men I ever have seen £nd he hits 'em plenty far, too. The funny part of it is that Wifly is a darned good putter usually. He was Jjust missing 'em by an inch up there. You might say that a total of 10 inches, on as many putts, kept Wiffy out of winning the 1936 national open. “Yep, those four men are really great golfers. The marvel of it is that | with their ability and their technique they haven't wcn a dozen nationals. It goes to show what an important part of scoring this putting game is.” COLORED ATHLETES CHRISTEN BANNEKER Howard, Lincoln, Virginia State, St. Augustine, Twelfth Street “Y" Stage Track Meet.

The British pair easily won 6—2, 6—1, partly be- cause of Miss Jacobs' utter fatigue, but the crowd didn't care. Most of 1he spectators had seen Helen denied time and again. They saw her win this time and that’s all that mattered. “I'm so happy I finally won—both happy and lucky.” she said excitedly as she opened a bundle of telegrams in her dressing room. “Mrs. Sperling | played so well, so steadily.” As she removed the tape from her blistered fingers and toes, Helen | turned a buoyant face to woman re- | porters in her dressing room. “I think the hunting I did during the last vear was grand trairing.” she said. “It strengthened my legs. They stood up wonderfully all the way.” After an hour's rest she was pre- sented to Princess Marie Louise in the royal box A smoking service game. plus beau- tiful steadiness and chop strokes car- ried Miss Jacobs to her long-sought victory. Her German foe, a head taller, and a ball retriever of the finest grade, took the first and third games of the opening set, but the American champion closed with such | an undeniable rush that sk: swept | the next five games, only one of which | went to deuce, to win the set. One set ahead, Miss Jacobs elected to play for steadiness in the back | court during the second set, and she lost it. The German star won the first game at love, dropped the next three and then staged a bsisk rally that was capped with a beautiful | placement that gave her the winning point in the second set. The final set was a thriller all | the way. Helen’s slithering slicés and varied flat backhands sent her into a 5—4 lead, but a sideline decision, | booed loudly by the crowd, enabled | Frau Sperling to square the set at 5 all. Helen, looking dejected and angry, broke through again to lead at 6—S5, and the throng gave her an ovation as they changed courts. The final game was a super-thriller. Miss Ja- cobs, serving, reached a 40—15 lead, | but Frau Sperling promptly scored on a net-cord shot and then a placement to send it to deuce. Groans filled the stadium as Helen double-faulted on | | the next point, but her rival gave her a chance by netting for deuce again To be denied no longer, Helen ripped in with a placement and then won as Frau Sperling flubbed a backhand | return into the net. Great Britain Near Sweep.

B W.R c(}\LLuM LAUDE RIPPY'S stunt of playing four rounds of golf in 274 whacks in a title tournament is not a world record, but it's clcse eaough to it to make the lanky North Caro- linian look like 1 world-teater in any language. Had he done that sort of golf in a big tournament against good opposition his name und fzame Marion Brown, the Manr with her tee shots, She hit this would be known all over the Nation But the fact that he did it at all, playing four rounds of a par 7l course in an average of 66',, is am- ple proof that Rippy is quite a golfer. Unfortunately Claude is bett:r at medal play than he is at match play, or so say the men who have watched his development on the public links. “Put him in a medal play tourna- ment over any public course and he says Harry Graham, East Potomac Park man- ager, “but ‘Rip’ doesn't play as well at match play as in stroke competi- tion.” Nevertheless Rippy is good enocugh to go & long way in that forthcom- ing national public links champion- ship at Farmingdale, Long Island. A few rounds of inspired shotmaking like the 66 and 67 he produced at East Potomac last week and he will b2 a hot shot in the championship— and can win. He is good enough to beat any public links golfer in the country. IPPY'S best showing over private courses with their well-trapped greens and their greater length, came | in the Indian Spring tournament of | 1934, when he went to the final to| take a drubbing from Roger Pea- cock. He has played in several others, among them the tournaments at Chevy Chase, Woodmont and Ken- wood, but never has gone far, which leads to the thought that perhaps Rippy isn't as good on a tough golf course as he is over his own courses— meaning the public layouts. Byt that isn't strictly true. The young man (he is only 23) can play all types of shots, but he hasn’t been able to play bunker shots so well be- cause he hasn't had the chance to practice them. Rippy may surprise a lot of folks at Farmingdale. He can win the national if he keeps in the scoring groove he had last week. Entries will close tomorrow with the Maryland State Golf Association for the mixed Scotch foursome tour- ney, to be held at Manor Wednesday. This affair, always one of the most popular of the season's tournaments, probably will draw a crowd of 200 or more. Cmshou...mhearlm' Mildred Didrikson got the nick- name “Babe”? . . .
