A—12 x S Golf Duffers Unconcerned, but New 14-Club Rule Is Worrying Pros *VOLLE I8 Dismer MKENZE PLANS TO REVANP RONS Roland to Make 8 Do the Work of 9—Diffenbaugh Already Under Wire. BY W. R. McCALLUM. MERICA'S links army—some two million strong—is on the final lap of unlimited per- sonal choice in the matter of the implements used to maul golf balls around 5,000 courses from Nome to Florida. After January 1 next year the clubs will be regulated, as to number at least, and the pros and the leading amateurs are wondering what they are going to do about it, and whether the United States Golf Association is serious about its avowed intention to limit the number of clubs to 14 or less. There's one thing certain. In the lower strata of golf John J. Duffer, who doesn't play tournament golf, is going along with 18 or 24 or what- ever number of clubs he always has ured, and he doesn't care a darn what the U. S. G. A. tells him to do. | He gets hjs kick out of playing the game for fun and not for cups or greenbacks. But there's plenty of squawking among the top pros and the better amateurs about the 14-club rule, and many of the boys still are up in the alr as to just what they can do to soive their problem. MacKenzie Has an Answer, OLAND MacKENZIE has one an- swer to it. He's going to change the loft on his iron clubs and make eight irons do the work of nine. He's goIng to put those irons in the vise and work on ‘em until he has them just to suit him. He figures out that he needs two sand wedges, three wooden clubs, eight irons and a put- | taz, which makes him just 14 clubs. | Why the two wedges? He uses one f6r pitching from the fairway and another for bunker shots. Wiffy Cox doesn't know yet what | he'll do. He carries some 20-odd clubs | &t present | But Georze Diffenbaugh, District open king, has beaten the U. §. G. A. to the gun Six months in advance | of the effectiveness of the 14-club rule | he's shaved his clubs down to 14 and | he is today using the legal number. Tt's a Laugh to McLeod. 'HE whole thing is a laugh to Fred McLeod. 1 don't see what all| the shootin's about.” says Fred. “I| never used more than 10 clubs and I could do away with some of those.” But when you get into the condi- tion of the boys who tote around @ T {on Wisconsin avenue. PORTS. LN e HERE will be only six local entrants in the sectional qualifying rounds for the na- tional amateur golf champion- ship at Five Farms tomorrow. Paul Frizzell of Columbia has withdrawn from the tourney. But the Maryland course will not cause any trouble to the top local stars over the 36-hole test if practice scores mean anything. Billy Shea, the tall Middle Atlantic champ, in his first trip around the layout, had a 4-over-par 75. Levi Yoder of Kenwood scored a 77 and Martin F. McCarthy, “fust fooling” with his shots, had an 80. The Washington lads should win three of the six places open in the medal rounds. 'WO appearances today and one more tomorrow will wind up the local stand of the Acushnet driving machine which had hundreds pop-eyed with astonishment at five showings vesterday. They learned that golf balls can be driven with a carry of well over 400 yards, and they can be pitched and hit within a six-foot circle. Geared up to the engine of the car, the machine, located in a trailer, knocked balls high out of the sight of scores gathered at Indian Spring, ‘Woodmont, Columbia, Rock Creek Park and Manor. The machine is to appear at 7 o'clock tonight at East Potomac Park and at 9:30 at Walper's driving range It will be at Congressional at 6 p.m. tomorrow. “HERE will be no pro exhibition match next Sunday. The eight paid lads who have figured in two bril- liantly executed contests over the past two Sundays will be busy trying to grab a slice of the $1.000 prize dough to be put up at the Middle Atlantic P. G. A open tourney at Old Point Comfort, Va Wilfred Cox, the iron master from Kenwood, again topped the boys in the scoring at Columbia yesterday be- fore 300 fans, shooting a one-over-par THE 71 in the match in which he and Ro- land MacKenzie licked Fred McLeod of Columbia and George Diffenbaugh of Indian Spring. The other pro match found Bob Barnett ‘of Chevy Chase bagging a par 4 on the last hole to give him, with Mel Shorey, a 1-up victory over Al Treder of Manor and Al Jami- son of Kenwood. Most of the pros will leave Wash- ington Wednesday for Old Point. The tourney will be played Saturday and Sunday, preceded by an amateur-pro affair Friday afternoon. J W. NESBITT won the Japanese * Ambassador's Cup at Kenwood with a net card of 269, aided by a handicap of 20 strokes per round. He had gross scores of 85, 87, 88 and 89. John O. Bergelin was second with 276, and J. M. Lowe was third with 278. THE Grosner Cup tourney at Beaver Dam went to D. E. Mattison, who shot & 75 with 5 handicap for a net |of 70. A. J. Wertis won the second flight, with 79—12—67; the third flight went to G. D. Murrell with 85—19— | 66, and the fourth flight was won by L. W. Dorset with 92—22—170. i NIR AND MRS. G, ney at Manor with 84—20—64. Three shots back at 85—18—67 were Mrs H. L. Simcoe and Maj. McLean. Marion | Brown and Bobby Brownell won the gross award with 79 John Holzberg, Buddy Shar- key, Jack Robinson and E. B. Wagner have won their way to the semi-final round in the Tribal Bowl tourney at Indian Spring. Holzberg licked Alex Baumgartner, | 4 and 2; Sharkey defeated Louis Semia. 5 and 4; Wagner beat J. F. Phelan, 2 and 1, and Robinson beat Turner Smith, 3 and 2. ROSE NINE STRONG between 18 and 25 clubs you have to do some tall figuring to cut ‘em down to 14. It's a tough problem for the pros, and they are zoing eround these days asking each other: “Is the U. S. Q. A. going through with this 14-club rule>” | The answer plainly is “yes.” for the | U. S. G. A isn't in the habit of pop- | ping off without reason. And they've | kept silent on the whole thing smce[ last January, when they gave the golf world a year to think it over.

EAST’S CLAY RULED BY WEST’S NETMAN McDiarmid Is Third Successive Westerner to Get Sectional Tennis Laurels. By the Associated Press. i NEW YORK, July 26.—A bespec- tacled Princeton University pro- fessor, John McDiarmid of Fort Worth, | Tex., is & lot more interested in polit- ical science than tennis, but he does pretty well on the courts. Yesterday the lanky Texan polished off Don McNeill of Oklahoma City to win the Eastern clay court singles title at Jackson Heights, 6—3, 1—6, 6—4, 0—6,.6—3. McDiarmid and his opponent were hampered by a high wind. McNeill's smashing service, which eliminated Frank Bowden of New York in the semi-finals, was of little use to him under the conditions. He made seven double faults to McDiarmid's one. Mc- Diarmid is the third successive West- erner to win the title. The loser employgd a soft drop shot in the first set, but McDiarmid, play- ing smoothly, had little trouble. Mc- Neill's rally in the second set carried him through five straight games, but his errors cost him the third set. The wind subsided temporarily in the fourth and McNeill's pet drop shot piled up points. Playing at the net, the Oklahoman had things his own way. The veteran Texan dropped the first two games of the final set, but Mc- Neill's eagerness forced him into costly errors and McDiarmid’s service and spectacular placements took the match. Ernest Sutter of New Orleans and Ramsay Potts of Memphis, Tenn., won the Eastern clay court doubles championship when they up °t Mc- Diarmid and Paul Newton of Berkeley, Calif.,, 7—5, 6—8, 6—1, 6—2, later in the afternoon.

Rib Broken, Brownie Sfays- on Job a Week Carey Ignorant of Fracture—Brilliant Effort Loses for Ferrell, Poor One Wins. By a 8taff Correspondent of The Star. N ROUTE FROM ST. LOUIS, July 25.—Who says this is not a day of base ball “iron men”? . .. After playing for over a week with a broken rib, little Tommy Carey of the Browns had to call * quits yesterday in the first game . . And he did not know his rib was fractured . . . The flashy second baseman merely thought it was a severe pain in his chest and the fracture was disclosed only after examination in the dressing roam ... Tommy could not recall when he was hit hard enough to break any bones. After five innings of the first game time was called and Man- ager Jim Bottomley led to the plate, where he was presented with a handsome basket of flowers, a large radio and a bird dog by the Knights of Columbus of East St. Louis . ., They even had & band and things and stuff . . . The only item wrong with the picture was the score: ‘Washington, 16; Browns, 10. After Koupal, Trotter, Van Atta and Knott were found unable to stop the Nats Bottomley unveiled the Browns' batting practice pitcher, Bill Strickland . . . He ° looked no different from the rest . Washington’s batting prac- tice was resumed without a hitch. Base ball is a funny business . . .Wes Ferrell pitched one of his best games of the year at Chi- cago and lost, 4-3 . . . Yesterday he pitched one of his worst of all time, giving up 14 hits and 10 runs, yet won easily. Cecil Travis, battling for the league batting leadership, was doing all right in the opener-yes- terday until .the Browns put in their batting practice pitcher . . , Oece had two singles in three ). trips but Strickland turned him back three straight times . . . Travis probably is not gaited for that kind of a hurler, but his roomie, Buddy Lewis, had no ob- jections Buddy made five straight hits before Vosmik finally dragged down his line drive in the eighth., Lewis openeda the nightcap by doubling and singling on his first two trips . . . After that Walkup walked him twice in & row . .. He . couldn't keep him off base any- way . . . Mel Almada covered a lot of ground . .. He ran all over the outfield, chasing drives hit off Ferrell, and he scored.nine runs in the double-header.

BY WILLIAM WEEKES., Associated Press Bports Writer. HICAGO, July 26.—The boys | who golf for a living can start fearing Gene Sarazen all over again. On ‘and off for the last few years the branch of the professional clan which follows the money-trail had about decided to put a discount tag | on the colorful little Italian whose second big interest is operating- his farm at Brookfleld Centre, Conn, only to have him bounce back with & brilliant triumph. He was back in the dough—the $3,000 victor's award for the Chicago $10,000 tournament— for his first major conquest since his “double eagle” triumph in Bobby Jones' 1935 masters’ open at Augusta, Ga. Thought Gene Washed Up. EFORE that masters' victory, his | colleagues had decided, he was | washed up, but found out he wasn't | when his stirring finish brought him & tie over the regulation route and | a decision over Craig Wood in the | play-off Sarazen, whose only tournament victory this year was in the West | Coast open at Belle Air, Fla., but who | rendered great service in America's triumph over the British in the Ryder Cup battle, fought off a great field to win the rich Chicago tournament with a 72-hole total of *290 at the Medinah Country Club. Starting yesterday's 36-hole wind- up tied with George Smith of Chi- | cago and Harry Adams of Nashville, Tenn.. at 144 strokes, a margin of ! one shot over Horton Smith, Ky Laffoon and Jim Foulis of Chicago, | he worked through intermittent rain squalls to make his slender advantage last. Smith and Laffoon matched his scoring &ll the way in, but couldn't | overhaul him, and a gallant rally by Harry Cooper. who never before had lost an official tournament at M-~di- nah, gained him only a tie with them | for second at 291. | PAUL RUNYAN of White Plains. | N. Y, achieved a sensational 33—36—69, the best round of the tournament, on his last trip, to take the next slot at 292. Sam Snead of White Splphur Springs. W.

Sarazen got off with 72 on the No. 3 course Friday, had another 72 on the | ['No. 3 stretch Saturday, speeded up | to a par 71 on No. 3 yesterday morn- | ing. and battled through the rain for | a closing 75. which was matched by Laffoon and Smith. Cooper, two strokes back at the start of the last 18 holes, finished with a 74, good enough only to match Smith and Laffoon. Gus Moreland of Peoria, I, topped the amateur section of the field with 300 strokes, a margin of one shot over Fred Haas, jr, of New Orleans.

Maj. Ernest Harmon largely was re- sponsible for War Department’s im- pressive triumph over Pennlyn, scoring six of his team’s goals, four of which were tallied in the first chukker to place his club well in front. Granted a two-goal handicap, the Pennlyn quartet proved no match for the fine passing of the War Depart- ment team. J. Ingersoll scored two goals to lead Pennlyn's somewhat feeble attack.

Donald Budge. If Great Britain cannot keep it right with Wimbledon. Budge, resembling a bean pole perhaps is the strangest of all the Wimbledon heroes, but undeniably same. Lacking the personal appearance passion of Lacoste, Budge has won British hearts by his utter simplicity. Up on Social Graces. [T IS unfair to perpetuate the legend that Budge is a big, gangling | American boy who isn't up to Wim- | bledon social graces, for that is | nonsense. He can balance a cup of tea on his knee with anybody. He knows where to buy the best flannel in Britain, how to have it cut to| hide spindling legs and how to act after he gets into it. But always he is completely sincere | and simple—two qualities held high | He does no back-slapping. He never makes a play for the crowd. He Just walks out and politely beats the ears ofl his opponents. The result is he actually makes Wimbledon fans forget tennis. They naturally wish they had Fred Perry for the singles tomorrow, but if they did you couldn't get much of a bet he would beat the red head What Wimbledon wants to know is what has happened to Budge since he was here in 1935. Britishers re- call he had strokes that had promise, but his manner was less! confident and his mistakes much See Changed Budge. l{}: LOST both matches of the chal- | lenge round then, one to Perry and the other to Austin, and was beaten by Baron Gottfried von Cramm in the semi-finals of the all-England championship. Now he already has won the singles and shared both doubles finals at Wimbledon this year, beaten Von Cramm in the inter-zone finals in one of the greatest matches ever seen on the center court and is fa- | vored greatly to beat Austin in the | final match of the challenge round | tomorrow. Some feel that the defec- | tion of Perry to the pro ranks gave Budge confidence to ascend to the world No. 1 position. The majority | points out he had just turned 20 when he was here in 1935 and claim his present form is a natural realiza- tion of potentialities revealed then. Anyway the fact remains he car- ried the United States through the inter-zone finals and now it looks as if he will have to produce the clincher tomorrow. The United States is favored to hold a 2-to-1 lead after the doubles today, but Hare is given & better than even chance to tie it up in the first match with Prankie Parker tomorrow, leaving the final struggle with Austin up to Budge. \LENIHAN MEETS SLEDGE In an effort to quench the mat pub- lic's thirst for more and better villians, Promoter Joe Turner has booked | George Lenihan, a snarling twister | who has worked up quite a bit of | enmity among the customers here, to | tangle with Bill Sledge Thursday | night at Griffith Stadium.

ENTRI for the Middle Atlantic singles tournament, which starts at Edgemoor on Saturday, will close Thursday night with Chester Adair. Entries should be mailed him at the Edgemoor Club, Bethesda, Md., ac- companied by the usual fee of $2. Doubting that Gil Hunt, having broken into the grass court circuit, would return to defend his champion- ship, the Touranment Committee is anticipating a wide-open fight. \ Efforts are being made to bring good second-flight play- ers down from localities around Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. None of these could earn his way to the nationals by winning, however, Middle Atlantic requirements specify- ing that the racketer qualifying must be a resident of the District, Virginia, | West Virginia or Maryland. | | RALPH (BUDDY) ADAIR held the fifth singles berth on Washing- | ton's Junior Davis Cup squad today, | taking it away from Charley Chan- | ning, erstwhile No. 5, in an uphill | fight yesterday on the Army-Navy | courts.

D LOSING RACKETERS GET BIGEST PRIE Heffner-Johnsen Pinch Hit for Breese-Lynch in Na- tional Tourney. BY BILL SISMER, JR. ESPITE the outcome of yese terday's match, Harry Heff- ner and David Johnsen, the losers—not Bill Breese and Hugh Lynch, the champions — will represent the Middle Atlantic section In the national daubles tournament at Chesnut Hill, Mass,, next month. Immediately after they had beaten the District's junior champions, 2—86, 6—2, 6—2, 6—4, Breese and Lynch announced that they would be unabls to go to the Longwood Cricket Club as entitled by their victory in the final round. Business reasons were given for the inability to accept the Middls Atlantic Association's offer to pay all expenses. Will Be Out of Class. EFFNER and Johnsen, thersfore— as good a junior combination as may be seen—will be sent, rules pro- viding that in case the eli team is unable to go. the runner-up may take its place. Although they undisputedly are the best junior team of the terri- tory, 18-year-old Harry and 17-vear- old David stand small chance of ad- ancing far in the competition with the country’s outstanding senior teams While his mother and uncle, Rep« resentative Hamilton Fish, looked on, Breese led the winners’ attack yes= terday which gave them the sectional championship. Although bowing slightly to his partner in all-around play, Lynch did his part by winning his service seven out of eight times to win a share of his second doubles championship of the year. He also won the Grand National tournament with Dolf Muehleisen. This particu= lar title was pleasing especially to Lynch, as it was in the same tourna- ment last year that he was forced to default, because of illness, after reaching the semi-final round. Breese Drives 'Em Back. THE 6-foot 4-inch frame of the 28-year-old Breese, however, proved the deciding factor, his net play proving well-nigh impassable to the kid opponents. Time and again they attempted to storm the net, only to be driven back by the sharp rallies of the old Harvard star. Ithough Heffner and Johnsen gof, off to a good start by winning the first set, the greater experience and sustained power of their opponents quashed their hopes as early as tha fifth game of the second set. That was when Lynch and Breese had taken a 4—1 lead, a harbinger of what was to come Despite their steady falling behind, | the kids had enough tennis to puil | off several sparkling rallies, but the | seniors—with all | machine—contented the emotion of s themselves by slowly advancing to the ultimate end. Although three of their winning games were deuced in the last set, Breese and Lynch did not tarry when the score was 5—4, breaking Heff ner's service at love for the match, DEMOCRATS BY SHUTOUT.
