Prophets Stumped Trying to Name Winner of Pro Golf Classic DEAN OF SCRIBES DUCKS PREDICTION Linde Fowler, Links Critic for 40 Years, Leaning Toward Picard. BY W. R. McCALLUM. VEN Linde Fowler is stumped I E by the job of trying to pick a winner in the P. G. A. cham- pionship at Pinehurst. Linde, in case you don't know, is the real veteran of the golf-writing game, & gent who has been around golf as a writer and observer for nearly 40 years. Only H. B, (Dickey) Martin approached Linde in years of service es a golf commentator. Linde, who works in Boston, has watched PFrancis Ouimet and Jesse | Guilford develop into champions, nnd! has seen 'em all come and go over the years, but he's up against it in| the P. G. A. championship. He's turn- | ing out reams of copy now in advance | of the tourney in his job as Pine- hurst press agent, but after wearing out & dozen pencils and pounding cal- louses on his fingers from typewriter keys he still is in a daze as to who might win, or who might get any- Wwhere in the tournament. Picard Is Consistent. #] THOUGHT Id go tnrough the list of starters and pick out a group or 10 or a dozen who might be possible winners,” he said. “After I had put down more than 30 names I Tealized what & hopeless job it was, and I gave it up, for there were as many left who might win a match from any one, at that time. I'll let it . stand this way: This tournament has the smallest field ever assembled in the history of golf for a combined match and medal play test” It gets pretty tough when a smart old bird like Linde gives up. He's been around a good many years and he usually can | come close to picking & winner in any | links imbroglio. “My first choice for the P. G. A., | on the basis of his consistent golf heretofore at Pinehurst, would be Henry Picard,” says Linde. “In the four regular rounds of the North and South last Spring and in the play-off | with Ray Mangrum he never went over 73. But he had no round under %2 and steadiness wins medal play championships where it can be licked in match play.” And how right you are, Linde. » Finest Tourney in World. AN’Y kid an get red hot for half a dozen holes and blast a headliner smack out of the championship. He | mightn't keep it up, but while he’s in there tossing 'em up to the pin he | can make & Picard or a Sarazen look like a plater. Match play is quite a different assignment from medal play, | usually the professional’s dish. That's why the P. G. A. championship, at match play, is the fnest golf tourna- ment in the world. The amateur championship, good as it is, isn't in & class with it. The golf isn't as good, the performers aren't as skillful and the whole thing hasn't the class of the P. G. A. And that's why the guy who wins the championship on November 22 will come fairly close to being the top match play golfer of < =3 | OMEN bowlers will do their share of Washington’'s inter-city rolling tomorrow night when the Rosslyn girls play host to the Loew’s Theater team of Richmond in one of three matches in which local pin-spillers will roll against out-of-town aggregations. The Rosslyn-Richmond setto is a regularly scheduled match of the South Atlantic Women's League and will take place at Galt Davis’ Rosslyn Alleys, starting at 8 o’clock. ‘Warm competition is expected, as it was against the same team last Win- ter that Rosslyn set a new South At- lantic set record of 1,787 at Rich- mond in the final match of the season. HAVXNG scored a 2-1 victory over last year's champion, Baltimore, Rosslyn will attempt to repeat against the Old Dominion representatives with a club that averaged over 556 a game for what appeared to be a new world’s record for women last year. Any dream Rosslyn might have had of being recognized as the game’s greatest women spillers, however, vanished when Baltimore’s record showed » fraction better than the afore- mentioned 556. Blanche Wootton, eighth national ranking woman bowler of the country, will lead off for Rosslyn, with Evelyn Ellis, diminutive captain, rolling sec- ond. Miss Ellis earned the twentieth national position last year, but has | served notice that she intends to bet- ter her rank this season. Rena Levy, Lucy Rose and Lorraine Gulli com- plete the locals’ line-up, with the lat- ter, of course, fulfilling her anchor position in a manner befitting the sec- ond best woman bowler of the land. Richmond is sending a star-studded team of Helen Randlett and Olivia Schmidt (who make a common prac- tice of boosting world records for doubles each season), Lois Clopton, former national singles champion; Margaret Challoner and Phylis Willis. Chairs for spectators are being placed on two alleys on each side of the match drives, with early comers geiting the best seats. As a result of their triple win over the Colonials, Automatic Mint went into a tie for first place in the Rosslyn Independent League with Shaffer Flower Shop, which could ) take only two games from the Boon- dogglers. While Charlie Haverty led the Mint team, Chick Olsen made a valiant effort for the Colonials with a 147, only three pins separating the oppo- nents at the end. Joe Freschi’'s 385 set sent his average to the 121-10 figure, still five short of Joe Harrison’s 126-3 average, aided little by the Iatter’s 379 set. Neither of them, however, matched the high individual game of Paul the world. years ago the young man was one of the hottest amateur golfers in the United States, a member of two Walker Cup teams and generally ranked as one of the uncrowned champions in the days when tournaments — amateur and open—were being won by Bobby Jones and Bobby Jones. Today Roland MacKenzie is one of the better-playing professional golfers of the land, and if he keeps on maul- ing the ball the way he is hitting it these Fall days he is going to be a tough nut for the rest of the tourna- ment brigade when he shoves on south for the Winter tournaments. One of the longest of lengthy hitters, Roland also is a deadly gent with the putter. Funny how often those two go hand-in-hand—long hitting and good putting. TH!: young man had one of those |+ dream rounds yesterday at Con- gressional, where he holds forth as the club pro, a round of golf which might Just as well have been 66 as the 70 which he actually scored—and which happens to be two shots under par. On the first nine he missed a half- dozen putts from various distances by an inch or 50 in each case, but on the second nine his putter really burned. ‘With four one-putt greens, he bagged four birdies, playing the rest of the holes in level par for a 31. He hit all the greens in the correct manner. But the way he finished is the pay-off as to what may happen to Ro- land in the South, and the tip-off on & more-than-remote possibility that he may grab off some of those bulky purses this coming Winter. He wound up the round with & trio of 3s. Yep, K three bird 3s in a row on the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth. And if you can find three tougher birdie holes as they played yesterday, trot ‘em out. Of course the eighteenth is easy enough, normally, but when Ro- land finished (and he played the ex- Jarman, who rolled a 159 with the GalLlun ness at Roland’s Winter berth at Ponte Vedra, Fla., will be back home on November 20 to take over the golf shop job at Congressional during Mac- Kenzie's absence. Gene Pittman, by the way, has transferred from Kenwood to Con- gressional. Search the golfers over the town and you won't find & straighter hitter than the former Dallas gent. He can putt, too. DOWN at neighboring Kenwood the boys are planning a four-ball tournament over the coming week end. It’s one of Wifly Cox's ideas, and the- way things line up now the pair to beat are those hot Georgetown Uni- versity kids—Charlie Pettijohn and John Burke. They have entered, along with the following teams: Reid Digges and Ted Rutley, Gene Pittman and Buddy Tew, Frank Gatewood and R. L. Evenson, L. 8. Carey and W. E. and J. D. ‘Weymer, J. E. Price and C. W. Harvey, M. Noma and M. Karaki, Kawakara and ama. The tourney will be at match play and will end Sunday afternoon. The winners in all the Kenwood golf affairs this year will receive their prizes at the annual club dinner on November 12. EN LAFFERTY, the big fellow from Indian Spring, is getting quite a reputation as a long hitter, A couple of days ago Ken played Con- gressional with W. R. Stone and Troy Carmichael. Among other long-smiting stunts he put together two big wooden club shots to get home at the 510-yard treme back tees in that match with Roger Peacock, Gene Pittman and ‘Troy Carmichael) the wind had come first hole, and he drove the eighteenth up, and a dropping temperature cut |eagle 20 yards ‘off the tee shots. A 15-FOOTER dropped for a 3 at the sixteenth, a 25-footer rolled in for a 3 at the seventeenth and he canned a 10-footer for the third straight bird at the eighteenth to fin- ish the nine with a mark of 31. Tie that if you can. A couple of rounds of golf like that in the Augusta tour- nament in which Roland plans to play and he'll be in there for a big slice of the prize dough at the end. The tournament starts on November 27, and Roland plans to get away around the 23d.

LIFF OLSON, Fall favorite of Washington’s mat maddies, apparently is doomed to re- sume his former role of pre- liminary pleaser in the near future, for the stubby-haired hero is slated to tangle with one of grappledom’s fore- most reputation destroyers next Thursday night in Yvon Robert, youthful Canadian contender for world heavyweight wrestling honors, if any. Olson won the right to face Robert last night when he disposed of Rudy Dusek in 32 minutes, at Turner's Arena, before 1,000 approving s) tators. Cliff’s climaxing caper was an Irish whip cleverly administered after he had absorbed the usual quota of punishment. Bumped about considerably by the eldest of cauliflower alley’s fussiest family, Olson was saved from further embarrassment by a frenzied spectator, one George Andrews, who rushed to the ringside and plucked a cigar from Rudy’s trunks, which was to have been used to massage Olson's eyes. Steals Show as Well as Cigar. ANDREWS stole the cigar and then stole the show when he scampered behind the largest policeman in the house when Rudy threatened to climb from the ring. Referee Benny Bort- nick pulled Dusek back into the ring, however, and the brawl resumed. John Katan obligingly booted him- self out of a draw decision with Matros Kirilenko after the charming chaps had waged a 30-minute stalemate. Bortnick disqualified Katan when the villainous twister plunged a tootsie in Matros’ midsection after the whistle had blown. Stan Sokolis and Jack Donovan struggled 30 minutes to a draw, while Nick Campofreda butted Jack Hader into submission in 13 minutes and George McLoed tossed Eli Fischer with a crab hold in 11 minutes. e bl DAVIS, DECHTER BOX HERE NEXT MONDAY Booked for Six-Round Support of Furr-Lucas Welter Bout at Turner Arena.

Furr, who will defend his District welterweight title against Lucas, will be fighting his fifth 15-round bout this year, which is believed to be a record for the past decade.

LD ENOUGN FOR Washington Brewery Regains Lead in District Pin League ’ASHINGTON BREWERY'S bowling sharpshooters for the third time in seven weeks are riding high in the District League flag chase today, confident that they are pennant-bound following their rout of Lucky Strike, which sent the Bill Wood entry reeling out of the lead into a second-placé tie with Heurich Brewers and Rose Liquor Store. But more significant than the rise and fall of the two super duckpin machines last night was the return of Norman Schroth to the battles of the all-star circuit after an absence of several seasons. The former popu- lar president of the league was wel- comed back with open arms. Schroth Successful Leader, DURING his term of office three seasons ago when bowling had reached its lowest ebb, the city's lead- ing loop enjoyed its most prosperous season in more than 30 years of roll- ing. Through Schroth’s efforts the league expanded to nine different OVERCOAT VALUE alleys. Today the circuit takes in only five plants with a prize list cut nearly in half. Right off the bat Schroth paved the way for Conventior Hall to upset Occidental Restaurant, 2 to 1, at the Hall. His last-frame 9-pin spare count won the first, 589 to 586, and he did his share in a team rally that copped the last skirmish, 607 to 594. Occidental won the middle tilt, 601 to 527. Norman's et was 358. ©Oddly enough, the three high in- dividual performances of the night availed little in the win column. Perce Wolfe of Occidental watched his club drop two as he flattened the maples for a 407 set. “ Lose With High Scores. JO! FRESCHI, with top counts of 166 and 417, went down to defeat with Rose Liquor Store when the champion Heurich Brewers annexed the first two tilts with better than 600 totals. Paul Jarman's 152 and 383 led the Heurich win. Over at Georgetown Recreation Paul Harrison's first 400 of the season, flashy 412, failed to help Arcadia win a single game from Ed Schlegel’s crew, which was paced by Sam Benson with 150 and 377 and Flick Hurd's 149 and 379.
