SPORTS. HENRY'S INVASION WILL BUOY SPORT Britisher Bent Upon Giving Prestige to His “Title” of World Champ. ENRY COTTON, the big poo- bah of British golf, who high- hats the natives of snooty links colonies in Britain and makes ‘em like it, is coming to America for a post-graduate course in how to play golf, but it won't be until next Spring. Horton Smith, the lanky boss of the Bpalding caravan, says that Cotton will help elevate American golf next year, and at the same time try to corral some of those elusive dollars in the American tournaments next Winter and Spring. Henry, in case you don't remember. tossed A strong | American team for a complete loss by grabbing the British open champion- ship out from under the collective noses of Ralph Guldahl, Denny Shute, Smith, Sarazen July. A short while later he whacked Denny Shute, the American P. G. A. | ehampion, in a match billed for the “world" championship, if you can take | that seriously. “Title” Not Taken Seriously. “(COTTON,” says Horton, “realizes “ that all of the great players in recent years have been able to estab- lish their supremacy on both sides of the Atlantic and he is determined to do the same. I should think it would be most likely that Cotton would come to America about two months before ouor open championship, so that he will have time to become thoroughly accustomed to American conditions.” Of course, no one takes this “world” ehampionship stuff seriously. The fact that Cotton whipped Shute proved simply that Cotton is a good golfer and was on his stick at the time. But Denny might whip him the next time out. There was a guy named Bobby Jones once, girls and boys, who won all four major championships in the same vear. He's the only man in the history of golf who is entitled to the title “world” champion. Bobby also won the American and British opens in the same year in 1926. So did Sarazen in 1932. Will Pep American Golf. SO WHERE is this “world” cham- pionship stuff? Any guy who wins the open championship of both coun- tries in the same year can claim to be the world “open” champ, but until another Jones nes along there won't be a "W champeen. And you could bet about a million to one any given year there won't be another Jones, But Cotton, if he does come to America next year, will put a little pep into the rounds of the tournaments. He might grab one or two of ‘em from under the noses of the American top- liners. He's a lot better than he was in 1931, when he played the tourna- ment circuit in this country and was tossed for a loss.

It was a bonanza to the box office, what with Mr. G. advertising a Bucky Jacobs-Feller pitching duel like 8 side-show spieler, but as entertain- ment it fell as flat as the initial Ranger-Enterprise 2d affair. To at- 4ract some Richmond trade he insisted en pitching Jacobs, a former Uni- versity of Richmond hurler, and what Bucky does not know about pitching would fill volumes. Jacobs belongs in a class D league somewhere, whete he can pitch regularly and get a chance to acquire polish. Feller is not much smoother, but Bob definitely has exceptional ability and Jacobs is a little, skinny kid whose major league future may depend on whether he can grow. Griffith may have tossed away a | ball game for the sake of some extra gate receipts, but he did nothing to injure his reputatior American League showmen. Mr. Old Fox still retains the uncanny knack of luring people to his park.

A. PRO WIN Bethesda Golfer, With 289, Has 2-Stroke Edge—D. C. Group Collects. BY WALTER McCALLUM, Btaff Correspondent of The Star. LD POINT COMFORT, Va,, August 2.—Give a guy a theme song and a chew of tobacco, a good golf game and unlimited nerve and you have the formula for a winner. Leo Wal- per, the West Virginia hillbilly, the guy who has improved faster in golf than any pro in America, today holds the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. cham- pionship because he had 'em all in the clutches. Not that it takes the tobacco and the theme song, but Wal- per added them to the aforesaid good golf game and the nerve and whacked his way to the championship over the Chamberlin course here It took Leo 289 shots to win, but that was good enough to grab the title and $200 first money by two shots. In the last two rounds of the 72- hole affair, Walker yesterday leveled out with a brace of 70s on the par 72 course for victory. It was Leo's first big champion- ship, but it won't he his last. The guy is good enough to win any major tournament. His score of 289 was one over par for the route. Wash- ington pros, favorites to grab the big slice of the prize dough, did exactly that. They won six of the 10 money prizes. Roland MacKenzie, long- hitting Congressional pro, tied for sec- ond at 291 with Jack Isaacs, the blond from Newport News, who had the tournament in the bag up to the last five holes, and blew it.

JROM this point out Walper's theme | song will be “When My Dream Boat Comes Home.” He sang whistled it tournament, mixing it up with chews of tobacco from an old plug he car- | ried around in his hip pocket mixed them so well—the theme song the tobacco, the nerve and the good golf game—that there wasn't any question about the winner from the sixty-eighth hole on. Walper had it in the bag. Here was the set-up. At the three- quarter mark Walper, with 219, was two shots back of Isaacs, the leader MacKenzie, with 218, was in the mid- le. in a great spot.

He holed a 10-footer for the 3. Isaacs took & 5 on the sixteenth and the tournament was in. Meanwhile MacKenzie, hitting the ball mag- nificently, but putting poorly on the bumpy greens, took 3 from the edge ! of the fifteenth after two big wooden shots and dropped a much-needed shot Isaacs 3-putted the seventeentt for a 5. giving Walper a 2-stroke marzin All Walper needed from that point | was the golf shots. He could have tossed the theme song and the tobacco out the window But Walper still had plenty on the ball. He finished with a pair of cozy par 4s. putting for a birdie on each hole. MacKenzie, two holes ahead, had knocked one out of bounds and still made a par 4 on the seventy-second, holing a 4-foot putt to get a tie with Isaacs. Money Distribution. ERE is the way the money was distributed: Leo Walper, Bethesda, Md, 289, $200; Roland MacKenzie, Congres- sional, 291, $125; Jack Isaacs, Newport News, 291, $125; Cliff Spencer, P-aver Dam, 292, $62.50; Ralph Beach, Balti- more, 292, $62.50: Errie Ball, Char- lottesville, Va., 295, $25; Wiffy Cox, Kenwood, 296, $25; John Bass, Balti- more, 297, $25; Bob Barnett, Chevy Chase, 301, $25; George Diflenbaugh, Indian Spring, 302, $25.

Young Sam, who staged a brilliant climb in his profession by winning the big share of a couple of California money tournament purses last Winter, and finishing a highly respectable sec- ond to Ralph Guldahl in the last na- tional open championship battle, only to fade off his swift pace lately, bounced back yesterday by firing off a pair of sub-par rounds to collect the victor's $1,200 in the eighth annual | $5.000 St. Paul open over the famous | Keller course.
