A0 Ryder CuppersWeak: in P. G. A. : Congressional Fa Mutual Admiration Society ]% W[]MEN SEEK “FORGOTTEN” PROS OUTHIT PICKED LOT Runkan, Ace Golfer, Who Is Left Off Team, Cards 68 in Trial Round. BY DILLON GRAHAM, Associated Press Sports Writer. ITTSBURGH, May 25.—The Professional Golfers’ Associa- tion realized today that Paul Runyan is a pretty tough little guy when he's riled. ‘They failed to name the diminutive White Plains, N. Y., pro to the Ryder Cup team and “Lil’ Poison” was sort of burned up. He gave the powers- that-be a snappy two-word rebuttal yesterday in the first 18-hole quali- fying round of the P. G. A. champion- ship. The words were: “Cuppers” Trail Candidates. AND. as they started the final quali- fying round this morning, Paul, along with young Byron Nelson, had | & ‘two-shot lead over the field. In addition, they were five shots out front | of Henry Picard, the best scorer | among those selected for Uncle Sam's tussle with the Britishers in England next month. Paul felt his record should have put him on the squad. However, they didn't forget Paul altogether, for they named him, along with 10 others, to fight it out here and in the United States open in June for four remain- ing positions. The low scorers for the six rounds of medal play get the nod. “I left my wife at home to pack up,” Runyan grinned. “I think maybe we'll be going abroad.” As a matter of fact, Runyan wasn't the only one who got mad yesterday. The 11 boys who still are trying to make the team made the boys who have made it look pretty bad. They averaged a fraction over par 72 to the Ryder Cuppers’ 76 plus. “Sixty-eight.” Comparative Scores, ERE'S the batting average of the| two groups Cuppers—Henry Picard, Hershey, | Pa, 73; Gene Sarazen, Brookfield Cen- | ter, Conn., 75; Horton Smith, Chicago, | 75; Tony Manero, Peabody, Mass., 78; | Johnny Revolta, Evanston, IIl, 78; Denny Shute, Boston, 79.

In the battle with Runyan, Nelson, | Hines and McSpaden for the Alex | Smith Memorial Trophy, that goes to | the medalist, were Neil Christian, | Yakima, Wash., and Lloyd Gullickson, Cleveland, with 71's and the ever dan- gerous Harry Cooper of Chicago with 72.

J.,, back for the first time in several years, also apparently came only for the vacation. His 82 yester- day left him a piece of miracle shoot- ing today to stay in the fold. And Sam Parks found that this wasn't “home town boy” year in the P. G. A. Sam won the national open at Oakmont here two years ago, but blew himself away yesterday with an 82.

PITTSBURGH, May 25.—Al Treder, Manor, and George Diffenbaugh, In- dian Spring, virtually shot themselves out of the P. G. A. championship with high opening round scores yesterday. Treder had an 80 and Diffenbaugh an 81. With most of the experts figuring that 156 scores for the 36 holes will get into the match play rounds Wednesday, the Washington district pair will have to settle down to pretty close~to-par knitting today to entcr the championships hand-to-hand con- flicts for the title. Treder Starts Badly. OE'F to a bad start, Treder took six on the par 4 first and lost strokes on four straight holes starting with the fourth. Pars on the seventh and ninth were his only good scores in the 43 strokes he had out. After taking a five on the tenth, Al shot two pars in a row and finished out strong for a one over par 37 coming in. Diffenbaugh dropped shots on the second and third, but got a birdie 4 on the long fifth and then ruined that beginning with a pair of 5s on eight and nine for a 39 out. Four 5s and a 7 on the back nine sent his score soaring to 42 in. o BOXING CHAMPS BATTLE Nine on Program of 12th Street “Y"” and Community Center.

HICAGO, May 25.—Art critics looked in vain today for & hint of Robert C. Zuppke's vocation in the 21 canvases that comprised his first one-man art show. Not one showed a foot ball, a game, or the semblance of a stadium. Mountains and moon- light, canyons and pines, instead, were the subjects of the 55-year- old coach who has been teaching University of Tlinois students how to play foot ball for a quarter century. Coach Zuppke deprecated his ability as an artist. “I don't know r Hangs in Show. anything about art. I've never even seen another painter paint. Maybe this looks like it.” The diminutive coach said he “never thinks” when. he paints. “The men who use their brains are the men who get whipped. You have to have feeling—like in & good athletic contest.” The “training” he received in boyhood came from & friend who was a sign painter. “I'd paint banners with terrible caricatures of Teddy Roosevelt on them for 40 cents an hour.

ANDWICH, England, May 25.— The original United States con- tingent of a dozen seekers after pionship was down to seven as the second day's play began today. Only one of the five Americans who got into action in the first round matches, John O. Levinson of Chicago, escaped summary elimination, while one, R. A. Stranahan of Toledo, with- drew from the tourney. Levinson stamped himself as a pos- sible title contender. The former Yale player and 1936 New England cham- pion shot sensational golf over the Royal St. George's course to defeat W. A. Stevenson of Great Britain, 4 and 3. Meanwhile Richard Lunn, former Princeton player from Washington, D. C.; John H. Forsman, Mamaroneck, N.Y.; A. V. Rogers, Winchester, Mass., and C. C. Trautner, Silver Spring, Md., were beaten the first time out. Traut- ner took the worst licking, losing to the 19-year-old South African sensa- tion, Arthur D'Arcy (Dobby) Locke, by 7 and 5.

Priced low es ¥5.75 EDMONSTON'S 612 13th St. Free Parking At Capital Gerage D. | WASHINGTON, SN G ILDRED (BABE) DIDRIK- SON, the Beaumont, Tex., girl who pulled herself up from athletic obscurity by record-shattering performances in the 1832 Olympic games at Los Angeles and since that time has become quite a golfer in the top circles of the lifks pastime, is with us again. Mildred is out at Congressional to- day, sharpening up the shots which have placed her among the very top flight of feminine golfers the country over, following a practice round yes- terday which netted her a 78, six over men’s par. To get the full signficance of this 78 you must realize that the Babe doesn't go for such feminine things as the front markers, or the women's tees. She plays as far back as Pro- fessional Roland MacKenzie, which means that she plays a full-sized golf course. No sissy is the Babe. She is one of the longest hitters of the land—male or female—and she takes no advantage of her sex by playing the women's tees. Here for Ten Days. ‘HE slugging Didrikson gal will be around Washington for 10 days or more as a guest of Helen Dett- weiler, and she'll probably play golf over most of the local courses during her stay here. When you've watched the tall, slim girl from Texas swing into a tee shot you've seen power plus in the big-hitting sector of golf. She has a wallop and she has power with the frons, too. That round of 76 she played last year at Chevy Chase was one of the finest rounds of golf ever played by a woman. Don't take my word for it. Listen to what Bob Barnett says. “We played as far back as we could go on those tees,” says Bob. “And she was getting home on those long par 4 holes just like any other pro. She missed four putts of less than 6 feet for birdies and was around in an honest 76, round of golf I've seen played by a woman.” Then there was a round of 78 she had at Washington, where she stood on the fifteenth tee with four pars for a 73 and because she didn't know Jjust where to hit her shots, wound up 7, 6, 4, 5 for a 78. She also played Columbia in 78 and Congressional in 73. Sure, the Babe is quite a golfer. She could lick lots of men who fancy themselves as first-flight tournament players, Dettweiler to Play.

HAT lengthy first hole at Con- . gressional Country Club—bane of many of the golfers—would be abandoned and in its place would be built a 410-yard opening hole, a par-4 affair, under plans just submitted to the Board of Governors by the club Greens Committee headed by Maj. F. MacKenzie Davison. Believing that a good par-4 affair is a better opening, hole than the present tough par-5 hole, the Greens | Committee has submitted plans calling for several changes in the first nine at Congressional. Briefly, the plans call for, beside a | | new first hole, a new second hole | around 320 yards, par 4; retention of | the present second hole as the third | of a new layout; elimination of the present third hole and construction | of a new hole as the fourth to be played to the present fourth green. New Green in Orchard. PAR for the first nine would remain at 37 under present plans, although the new second hole may be changed to become a stiff one- shotter, which would reduce the par to 36. The eighth hole, now an easy par-5 affair, will become a par-4 hole by moving the tee forward. Detailed plans call for construction of the new first green in an angle of what now is an orchard, east of | the equipment storage barn; construc- | | tion of the new second hole along | the present first fairway to a new | green on top of the hill on the ap- | | proximate location of the old first| | green; rebuilding of the green at the | second hole to become the third of the | course, and combining the present | third and fourth holes into a par 5 of | ces Yardage Cut LONG FRSTHOLE | Minor Leagues International.
