u ' MARY BROWNEON OAMONT TOURNEY, Like Chinese Puzzle to Pick, . Winner in Famous Event By MARY K. BROWNE United Press Staff Correspondent | Pittsburgh, Pa., July 13 (UP —| As 1 look forward to the “big| parade” tomorrow, the first round | of the greatest golf tournament M’"i held in this country. I am wishing | for the Spirit of St. Louls, with Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh as| pilot, to help me cover the course | &nd see what is going on. That| might not be so good. I would | probably forget the golf. | T haven't learned- the technique ing the most golfers play eir shots on the greatest number of holes. Today 1 just planted my- self where T could see a short hole and a long hole and let the wonder- | ful parade pass me, | Bobby Jones, Audrey Boowmer. George Von Elm. Walter Hagen. | Joknny Farrell and George Duncan is the way I would pick them. if I must. but it is like trying to pl the lucky number in the Chinese lottery. For luck plays this part at Jeast in determining the winner. The golfer who is lucky enough to be in top form for three be the winner. Bobby Jones has won troke or the play-off of : s margin is not great enough "l any certainty about placing your money or giving odds on Bab- | by. Yet he has the advantage at Oakmont. The course requires dis- and direction and the greens ard a good putter. Bobby has all of this. On so many courses the | players can recover trom hooksand | and- get home in the sam - of strokes as the fairway Then the matches are won | on the greens. Not so at ©Oakmont. To honor the golfing ability of our British visitors, Oakmont, an ly difficult course, has been Made harder. There are few courses in the world where hazards have been placed so cleverly and exact! such penalties, After Bohby his titles Johes, T belleve| Audrey Boomer, 30 year old Brit- | isher and holder of the French ! tifle, has the best chance to win.| e and Abe Mitchell have been | playing the best golf all year in | England. Mitchell on account of | fliness could not make the trip to America. Audrey Boomer s al straight and long hitter and also a | fine putter. I saw him break the| course record at Cleveland last| week with a 69. He had six one- pitt greens and eight threes on his| card. He appears to have a won- derful temperament for the game, | calm and even disposition. His | straight down the course will cer- | fainly be a tremendous - asset at | Oakmont. George Von Elm, American ama- teur champion, is a sound, fine| golfer. His defeat of Bobby Jones last vear was no fluke and T be-| liove he is capable of repeating. | Walter Hagen, for years the best | professienal in America, and holder | of the British and American na- tional professional titles, must be reckoned as a possible winner, | though intuitively I feel that Hagen | is due for a flop. Ha played poorly | in the Metropolitan open, though I} belleve he was ill. However, I maw | him play on the coast this winter | and 1 felt that Walter Hagen was| #tale and over-golfed. i nancial relief to the German feder- | | tion something at stake, it would give me nervous prostration. He doesn’t get his putts down any too well, or at least hasn’t when I have been looking, though perhaps he feels he weuld do worse if he took longer. Anyway, if George Duncan is right in taking so little time over his| putts, everyone i's wrong., for he is| the only one who is so extreme in his quickness of play. Time is no object in golf, and somehow it gives me more confidence to see them more deliberate. As the big parade passes on, with fine golfer after fine golfer, divoting and pivoting, knocking the birdies dead and putting pars on ice, I| marvel more and more at Bobby | Jones' wonderful record. How does | he do it?
