But —_— Pam Barton Gives American Women Cause to Worry BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. [ 4 CHICAGO, October 12.—This golf. The British not only re- tained all of their own cham- women's (jtle and almost got away with our National Amateur Cup. The the Walker Cup matches, but, by and large, Uncle Samuel's niblickers petition. Little “Pam” Barton played a lot women's title and become the first Britisher to win an American cham- national open at Toledo in 1920. But for one reason or another the Brite even through the days when Ameri- cans were chasing the Britons right ship. When things were darkest for British golf, its woman stars always Americans. There were Cecil Leitch, Joyce Wethered, Enid Wilson, Diana “Pam” was the only one good enough @to come to America and win. More Due From Pam. As THE year's only double winner, Miss Barton joins very select company. Such stars as Harold Hil- ton, Robert Tyre Jones, Dorothy Campbell Hurd, William Lawson Lit- tle and Gene Sarazen. The youngster is a fine all-around player. She had to be all of that to come over and win on her first invasion of American fairways. And being only 19 years of age, she is likely to give our ladies further trouble for some years to come. British golf has come back a long way during the last three years. First, Henry Cotion broke the American control of the British open cham- pionship and, following his example, Alf Perry and Alf Pajdham also turned back the Yankee invaders. Perhaps it was those victories in the open that heartened British players, but, at any rate, they have come out of the long slump and now are threat- ening American titles. 4 A few breaks in fortune and Jack | McLean might have won our amateur title for Britain, and that would have been very sad indeed—two of our titles going abroad in the same season. Helps International Game. R!VIVAL of British golf will be a great thing for international com- petition. It should stimulate Ameri- cans to a new keenness, for, by and large, our players were becoming more or less complacent in their attitude toward international competition. Our superiority over the British was ac- cepted as matter of fact. For the first time in years we do net passess 4 @& single British title and the Britons have one of ours. Something must be done about that, and probably will next season, when the professional Ryder Cup team visits England. At that time we will have 10 of our best professional shotmakers in the British open to make things happen. It is rather obvious that the United Btates has no super-players at the moment in the amateur and women's flelds. No players like Bob Jones or Lawson Little or Glenna Collett Vare or Helen Hicks. Our stars are good, but so are the British, and interna- tional competition in those two di- visions probably will be rather even until America comes up with another super-player. At the moment none 18 in sight, but one or two may be Just around the corner. PR TS vl BOOKS GET ZUPPKE. Coach Bob Zuppke of Illinois has & son who, it is said, would make his team if he was scholastically eligible.

Only the other day we gave voice to the plaint heard at every angling gathering, that blues aren’t what they were last year, and on the beels of that comes a report from the Gooses which hurls our words right back in our face. It's about the best catch we've heard of this season, and it was made at a time when blues should be thinking SHORN of their Cummings’ Cup laurels Albert R. MacKenzie and Luther C. Steward, jr., to- day turned toward the practice tee to regain the two-man team championship of the Columbia Coun- try Club, which they dropped yester- day to Craig McKee and Dana Belser. The last named pair won by 1 up in a hectic struggle which went to the final hole. Ralph Fowler is the new champion of the Washington Golf and Country Club. Thwarted for 10 years in his quest for the club title Ralph finally went to town yesterday, whipping John Thacker, 3 and 2, in a 36-hole final to win the club crown. The second flight for the Horton trophy was won by W, 8. Warner, who beat R. D. Potter, 1 up, and G. B. Shepherd won the Bir- ney Cup, licking J. N. Bradley, 2 and 1. Chevy Chase linksmen will clash mext Sunday with Hillen- dale of Baltimore for the 1936 Maryland State team champion- ship. Victors yesterday over the Baltimore Country Club in the semi-final match played at Chevy Chase, the Washing- ton outfit won by 13 to 5, and look forward. to a repetition of their 1933 victory in the State team tourney. Hillendale licked Rodgers Forge at Hillendale. Lou Harris today holds the Wood- mont Country Club golf crown. An upset winner over Howard Nordlinger 10 days ago, Lou continued his up- setting of the favorites yesterday, whipping Melvin Kraft, the defending champ, by 4 and 3, in the final round. Al Schneider won the first flight con- solation, while Bernie Wilner won the second flight. Mrs. Ora Emge is the Beaver Dam champion. Mrs. Emge, defeated twice by Ellen Kincaid in previous tourna- ments, licked the Kincaid girl in the final round yesterday by 4 and 3. Paul Carey furnished a surprice when he beat Martin McCarthy, for- mer champion, by 5 and 3, to reach the final in the men's championship. Forrest Thompson beat Jack Palmer, 2 and 1. Harry Pitt, present champ, is in the final of the Manor Club title tourney, where he awaits the outcome of the match be- tween Bobby Brownell, the Dis- triet champion, and southpaw Tommy Bones.

'Mr. and Mrs. Manville Arnie and Willlam Collins of Preston, Md., and Mr. and Mrs. Allen Garrett of Easton, Md., were the ones who did 1t, the exact location being off Sharps Island Light and Bloody Point Light.

A leading pitcher or two of the metropolitan area will oppose the veteran, with play starting at 8 o'clock. “BREAK” AIDS BOYS’ CLUB Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va. October 12.— A safety, resulting from a bad pass from center into the end zone, pro- vided the margin of difference as the Metropolitan Police Boys’ Club eleven of Washington nosed out the Virginia A.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 12.—Aces, N Drize shots Of golf, are pro- duced in the United States at an approximate rate of five & day. Since the Associated Press began collecting verified aces for its National Hole-in-One Club last January 1,194 one-shotters have been reported from the Nation's shooting galleries, or an approximate average of five daily. Every State in the Union, except Nevada, has produced holes-in-one. Thirty-one holes-in-one were re- ported during the last week, with Texas still leading the inter-State race with 107, as against 103 members from Indiana. New York was third with 93, as against 78 for Minnesota and 70 for California. Aces in Tourney Play. SIVE:R.AL aces were scored in tour- nament play last week. In the women’s national championship at Summit, N. J, Patricia Stephenson of Minneapolis scored an ace on the 152-yard tenth hole to square her match with Marion Miley, Lexington, Ky., star, only to lose the duel. Johnny Urko of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Joined the club by firing a hole-imn-one on the 175-yard eleventh at Fox Hill Country Club during the fourteenth annual caddy tournament there. Leon Underwood of Conrad, Mont., scored the first ace in the five-year history of the Pondera Golf Club, hol- ing out his tee shot from 165 yards on the sixth hole. Dr. Willard J. Dishmaker of Eden Park, R. I, scored the longest ace of the week—a 240-yarder on the tenth at the Potowomut Golf Club.

Strangler Lewis, the wrestler, took off '40 pounds in a recent training GOLF BANS GREAT SOCK 1S THRILLER Thomson’s 325-Yard Drive to Green Is Highlight of Kenwood Show. BY W. R. McCALLUM. HEY'LL come out to see the sock. - Seven thousand persons, the biggest golf-hungry mob the old town has seen since gangly Jim Barnes stepped up to a President of the United States, back in 1921, and received a big silver mug from Warren Harding, waited and waited for the wallop they had gone all the way to Kenwood to see. They'd heard about Lawson Little's prowess, about Horton Smith's honey- like putting stroke and about Wiffy Cox's zooming irons. As, golf gal- leries do, Jthis polite crowd, pushed and sood-!aturedly shoved around by a flock of hastily impressed marshals, oh'd and ah'd when one of the boys made a good shot or blew a little putt which your kid sister could have shoved in, But they didn't get en- thusiastic, unless you call running 400 yards in your Sunday best to get a front-row spot to see some gink paste a little golf ball is enthusiasm. They were waiting for the home run of golf, the final punch that does some- thing to the human being no other thing in sport does. Thomson Delivers, THEY finally got it, too. At the fifteenth hole yesterday, over that slow, flat Kenwood course, where all the distance the boys got had to be carry, Jimmy Thomson finally got hold of one. The impressive varsity shoulders and the Londos-like wrists of this king of golf ball hitters finally achieved that magic combination of | timing, rhythm and strength that comes about once in & round, and Jimmy parked a tee shot on the fife teenth green, And that crowd, which had waited 15 holes for just that, surged over to- ward the finish. They had seen what they wanted. Not that Jimmy was exactly a pop- gun or a sissy golfer before. He had hit & couple on the nose before that one, but he really caught that one on the fifteenth. It helped a lot in enabling him and Wiffy Cox to finish square with Horton Smith and Law- son Little. “Why this guy Little can outdrive Jimmy any day for my dough,” they said as burly Lawson parked several tee shots out in front of the biond importation from Scot- land, the uncrowned open champ of the United States. “Look at that one 10 yards past Jimmy.” But they quit that kind of conversation on the fif- teenth. Jimmy Thomson 1s the darling of the galleries. He gives ‘em what they want, and it isn't putting. Smith’s Putt Squares It. ORTON SMITH, the tall, smooth gent who is America’s No. 1 gal- lery favorite wherever golf is played, rolled in a curling 15-footer on the eighteenth green to halve the match sponsored by Spalding. Prior to that Horton and Little had been 1 down most of the way on the back nine. But you can trust Horton to come through in the clutches. The guy can make the putter talk the same language that Jimmy Thomson's 15)2-ounce driver speaks. Very Impressive, that exhibition match at Kenwood. It proved once again that when you put on a free show the customers will turn out. Where other golf matches charging a gate fee coined peanut money this year, that one at Kenwood drew somewhere between 6,000 and 8,000 rampaging fans, tearing over Don Chamberlain's finest fairways, getting in their own hair and lining every fairway three or four deep. You couldn’t see much unless you were a giant, but you could catch occasional glimpses of the brawny gladiators. But it proved also that the Spalding folks are a smart bunch of hombres to furnish a free show of that nature. And if they ever had any doubt that golf is getting along alright Julian Curtis and his boys should have seen that mob. Golf doesn't need much more promoting to put it in the class of Scotland, where 10,000 people turn out to see a championship—at least it doesn’t around Washington. Or was it the free angle of the thing? “What a mob,” said Lawson Little as he waited on the sixteenth to stroke a 10-foot putt. “You boys must have gone to town on the publicity. We haven't seen a crowd like this in months.” Lawson had 75, Smith and Cox had 72s and Thomson had 74. SCORE IN BIRD RACES Woodside and Turowski Lofts on Top in Concourse Tests. Pigeons. from the Woodside Loft and the loft of Joe Turowski won the sixth and seventh young bird races, respec- tively, of the National Capital Racing Pigeon Concourse’s Fall series, The ‘Woodside entry had an average speed of 1,114.33 yards per minute in beating 315 competitors from 38 lofts over the 200-mile route from , Va., while Turowski’s bird increased the winning rate to 1,198.83 yards per minute 0 win over 264 birds from Pulaski, Va.,, a distance of 250 miles.

Whatever may be its political ime pulses and economic bents, the hue and cry over the broadcasting of speeches by Earl Browder, the Come munist candidate for President, finds Washington frankly unable to do any- thing about it. Under the communi- cations act of 1934, Browder, as & duly registered candidate of a legally recognized party, has the same right to speak on the radio that the other, candidates have. Radio station and. network managers, once they accept a speech by any other candidate, be . come legally bound to accept speeches by Browder under the same condi- tions—the conditions being simply that Browder's party must pay for the time on the air. That is exactly what the Commu= nists are doing during the current cam« paign. Early in August they budgeted themselves for eight Nation-wide hook-ups of the N. B. C. networks, as well as a series of five special New York State hook-ups. In addition, they booked time on locgl radio sta- tions in the cities in which Browder was to address rallies. Even Hearst's WCAE, at Pittsburgh, at first refusing to take the Browder talks over the network, found itself faced with the unequivocal provisions of the radio - law and finally had to agree to carry the speeches. ‘Thus it was that, even though the police authorities at Terre Haute, Ind., last week kept Browder in durance vile and denied him the right to ad- dress a local meeting, they were powe erless to prevent his speech from bee ing broadcast over the local radio stae- tion by his attorney, David J. Bentall of Chicago. Physically detained from going to the radio studio, Browder simply turned over his manuscript to his lawyer and Bentall read the speech while the Mayor and police chief coul only fret over their inability to stop him because of the Federal law. Those who have heard Browder on §il8 Ilhe air agree that his speeches, while | strongly espousing the Communist doctrines, are mild in deligery manner by comparison with some of the more .| forceful political speakers heard more often on the radio. His voice is sing= songy, his manner didactic, and the current pre-election polls would seem to indicate that he has not been very effective in “selling” his candidacy or his ideas via the radio. Nevertheless, his party is spending well over its $60,000 radio budget for time on the air, and, much as they may not like to carry his speeches, the radio managers, almost without exception, have been advised by their attorneys that they must do so as long as they carry the speeches of the other candidates. The law is specific, It says that “if any licensee shall permit any person who is a legally qualified candidate for any public office to use a broadcasting station he shall afford equal opportunities to all other such candidates for that office in the use of such broadcasting station.” It says, moreover, that the station “shall have no power of censorship cver the material broadcast” An." other proviso gives the station its only * “out”—namely, that “no obligation is hereby imposed upon any licensee to allow the use of its station by any" such candidate. But not a station 50 far has reported any policy of re- jecting speeches by the “other such candidates,” for their audiences insist upon hearing Roosevelt and Landon, Elet alone the candidates for local ofe fices. Thus radio appears to be America’s chief counterpart of London’s Hyde Park, where any one and every one can “speak his piece,” however ine flamatory, under protection of the law, subject only (1) to the discretion of the station management, and (2) to the limitations of pocketbook. Thus even the White House's repudiation | of Communist support does not enable it to keep Browder off the air, pro- vided he can pay, any more than it can keep Father Coughlin and itss other detractors off the air.
