OLD DOMINION GOLF CHAMP FAR BEHIND | Ball Tops Cruickshank by Eight Shots at Halfway Mark in State Open Tourney. By the Associeted Press. CAR.LO'I'I’ES\XLLE Va., Aug. 14— | Defending Champion Bobby Cruickshank, Richmond, trailed blond-headed Errie Ball, host pro, by 8 strokes at the half-way mark today in the 72-hole Virginia open golf championship. ‘The English-bred Charlottesville shotmaker put together rounds of 68 and 72, to end 36 holes all square with par, while Cruickshank ended with 148, despite a astrong afternoon rally that brought him a par 70. Also slipping in ahead of the de- fending champion was Chandler Har- per of Portsmouth, 1932 champion, who stroked out consistent rounds of 71—73 for 144. Al Houghton, professional at the Chamberlin Country Club, Old Point Comfort, came back strong in the afternoon, to go into fourth place with 150.

RALPH GULDAHL, America’s No. 1 | golf pro, and Slammin' Sam Snead, who placed second to Guldahl in the nationl open championship two months ago, will play in an exhi- bition match at the Kenwood Golf and Country Club the afternoon of Sun- day, August 29. Their opponents will be Wiffy Cox, the Kenwood pro, and Bobby Cruickshank, pro at the Coun- try Club of Virginia at Richmond. An admission fee of $1, plus 10 cents tax, will be charged, and the match will be open to the public on that basis. Neither Guldahl nor Snead ever has shown here. In the years when the National Capital open was being men now generally ranked as Amer- ica’s top pair of pros were in the money, 80 to speak. But they are now—plenty. Guldahl set a world record for the national open cham- pionship in winning the crown at Detroit last June with 281. Snead, ranked 8 the second longest hitter in golf, just behind Jimmy Thomson, was second with 283 in his first at- tempt at the national. Golf critics generally believe that Snead will be the top-ranking pro of the world within a year or two. He has won several major events this year, his latest win coming at St. Paul.

BY W. R. McCALLUM. OLF'S real forgotten man is the gent who shoots between 83 and 88 and who is ambi- tious to reduce his scors tn the 70s. He gets little attention from the lads who write about the game and he has, generally, to figure out ways and means of getting bettar from tha hodge-podge of primary grade instruc- tion and that billed as “for experts only. Bob Barnett, Chevv Chase prn, holds that here, in this great group of men and women who are better than fair golfers, lies a rare nppor= tunity for the pros of the Nation tn move out and do some real instruction work. Pointing out that most of the i | struction pieces on the game, in new<. papers, Dbooks and magazines, are written for the duffer, Barnett claims that most of the instruction stuff primer stuff for the men and wo; who have developed a fairly good go! game and who are ambitious to get into the “expert” class “The worst of it is that you'll find few articles on ‘advanced’ golf an4 few who teach it” says Bob. “Wa pros have & large group of men and women that knows hew to plav fairly good golf, but that is stumped by the shots that mean the difference be- tween low scoring and fairly gocd scoring. Wants More Than Fundamentals. OB goes on to explain that almast any man who has developed pe- yond the duffer stage can break 80 and that frequently he'll shoot. in tha l(y" 80s. “But he's puzzled when it comes to knocking off those shots thar mean the difference between the 80s and the high 70s,” says Bob. “He misses just enough shots or he makes just enough errors in judgment to keep from breaking into the 0s. Therein lies, In my opinion, a great fleld for professional 1nstruction and written instruction on improvement. “Any pro knows how to teach tha fundamentals of the game, the stance, grip and swing, for example. Ha | knows how he plays cut shots and half-shots himself, but does he teach them to his better players? For ex- ample the 85 shooter doean’t know frequently how to play a cut-shot to & sloping green. He hardly knows how to play a low forcing shot into a head wind, and he knows very little | about the low pitch with stop or tha cut-shot played into a wind from the right to stop the ball quickly. “These are the finer points of the | game along with many others which you won't find much written about. Yet they are very necessary shotz in the better scoring brackets. You just can't play straightaway golf and scora low. You have to know how to play all the shots, under all econditions. Open Field Says Barnett. 'OR example, how many people playing a lie with the feet above the ball know they have to use their hands more to overcome what proba- | bly will be & hook if they don't watcn out? Frequently the 85 shooter takes the wrong club. And he makes many | errors around the green in the scoring area which he wouldn't make if he'd | been carefully taught how to save strokes. “I mean he plays a pitch-shot whers there's apt to be an error when s run-up shot would be much better and with more chance of success “I think in that field and that elass | of golfers the men who play fairly well, lies & great chance for instruc- | tion. These men usually are not sat- isfled with their 85s. They want to improve, but they don't know exactly how to go about it. Duffer stuff is primer stuff to them. They know how to swing and how to play straightawav golf. but the finer points of the game are lost to them ™ BURTONS ARE PEEVED Would Know Why They Are Kept From Pro Exhibitions.
