M2 21 This Season Saw Connoisseurs of Crew Disillusioned in Their Predictions Dominated Water Over Weekend BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, MONDAY, JUNE 22, 1931 a Storm Could Open Revolt Against ru- -t i V-' W. New Ball Appears to Be a Little Premature iy RAI.I'II TKOST Open revolt against the new golf ball! Siwanoy officially permitting the use of the old 1.62 in all club competitions; Wykagyl making the same announcement; talking in the Southwest about cutting clear of the United States Golf Association, the agency which fostered this bigger and lighter golf ball; talk In the Middle West of revolt. A strong brew is being concocted. It may turn out to be just poisonous for our rather autocratic U. S.

G. A. It may be Justice that our U. S. G.

A. officials be banished. Then again it may not be at all. Prophets-1 Only Have Saved Experts' Scalps at 'Keepsie By GEORGE CURRIE Experts' Row, perched along the banks of the Hudson and the Thames, took a licking this year, and no mistake about It. Cornell and Columbia had been expected to fight it out at Poughkeepsie, yet when the crews came down to the railroad bridge, the bombs signalled that Navy was leading.

Binoculars picked out Cornell In second place but Columbia, challenging last year's winner, was almost out of sight in the drizzle. Harvard jumped to the lead at the start at New London and was never headed off. To make things all the more- topsy-turvy, Harvard carried off the They had sea orders for the Sum William Feldhusen, Staplcton, is seen setting a new record in Flowers Falcon as he won third race around Staten Island for outboard motorboats. In inset is Jack Hamel, ho was individual star of intercollegiate outboard regatta, in which he led Dartmouth to the title. he had on trap shots with the 1.62.

But does he extol the virtues ot tha new ball? Decidedly not. He reminds you that bcra.i.-,e of the bis? sphere's tendency to waver admittedly because of mishitting it gets In a lot more bunkers than the ball played last year. The U. S. O.

A. assumed that since this new ball would be more dlllktilt to control the players would, with typical American system, set about earn lug more about hitting th? ball. But that was a wrong guess Your typical American may be highly elllclent In certain lines, but, never expecting to be a flnlshrd golfer in any sense of the word, he violently objects to any ball more difficult to control. That It would provids the real golfers with a greater variety of shots was expected. It has done that, except in such extreme cases as our longest courses.

Those golf tests were always long In the Spring wasn't until midsummer that they dried out. This being Sprina; those "championship tests'" wera actually too long for good golf. Thv had all length and no variety. Their Runrdinns. hnving seen the preponderance of wood club play thrnucil the fairway, will be wiser and next year shorten up the course, alway.

an "asy matter, for Spring tournaments. Our stars of golf have proven that this new ball ran be made. In practically every start they hava bettered figures hung up in previous tournaments. We ll probably ho the open at Inverness won with a score at least a stroke a round better than Ted itay's winning total In 1920 when our longest flying golt ball was in pluy. From one point of view the de criers wall too soon.

Midsummer and Its Intense, drying heat, is not yet with us. They may like tha new ball by then. At such courses as Apawamls, Siwanoy, St. Albans, Cherry Volley. Engineers, North Hills.

Pomonok and a hundred others in this metropolitan district the big ball hn. made ninny rhanges. It did lengthen short courses to actually championship lengths. The U. a O.

A. thought about that. But, (ion your average golfer want, courses of championship length? The notices at Siwanoy. at Wykagyl and other places appear to say "No," and this, after all, may be one point the U. S.

Glenna Gives Tip On Putting Practice Art Rose Takes Amateur Feature At Coney Island Charley Jaeger Seores in 40-Mile Grind, Willi Gerard Debaels Second was second, and Al Marsh of Brooklyn third. Miss Edith Dromm, the Brooklyn stenographer who won the Class A Jaunt for runabouts last year, was beaten by Harry Patton of Arlington, N.

who finished in 1:28:18, a minute in front of the defending champion. George Kouhry, another Brooklyn racer, oddly enough, won a silver coffee service through his hard luck. Kouhry was delayed in the Class amateur when he attempted to aid a rival in extinguishing a motor fire. Then when he once again Jumped to the fore a fishing boat cut across his course, and when he attempted to get away from the boat's wash his boat lurched and went over. The motor of the boat shook its fasteners and sank to the bottom.

The Ocean Yacht Club's committee, considering all things, then awarded Kouhry the consolation prize. Boemerman Proves Able Moundsman do have a tough existence. There are two strong sides to the affair. Our United States Oolf As- sociatlon isn't all wrong nor Is It entirely in the rlsht.

knows there's trouble ahead. FOl'R-TO-ONE KICKKItS' BALANCE We've seen a lot of this much-talked-about golf ball In action. We've had these objectors pour their blistering words in our ears. But we've been in this newspaper business long enough to know that when one hears four complaints and one bit of praise one should strike a balance and declare things a draw. People are like that.

When they like things they take them for granted. When they don't they howl. Four to one represents a pretty fair estimate of this condition. And It's the fact that one occasionally does hear some praise of this new sphere that destroys tne illusion of riot and uproar whicn the opponent of the ball would love to create. Let's look over the situation sanely and weigh the genuine evidence.

Of the thousands of golf courses in the United States there were not more than 100 real championship courses which provided a complete test of golf. And in the cases where these lew were not equipped with satisfactory watering devices for both fairways and greens they dwindled, In midsummer, from championship tests to Just ordinary golf courses. Facts here no one will deny. IT WAS A MOVE TO SAVE THE COURSES Further than that: Even some ol our long courses proved nothing more than drive and mashle affairs under the improved hitting. With further Improvement both In clubs and the ball possible it did appear urgent that some measure be taken which would prevent the ruination not only of our so-called championship courses, but even the ordinary links which were built prior to 1920.

One mast admit there was reason for the action taken by our golf association. As for this new ball: It won't fly as far. That's evident Being Just a little lighter and a wee bit larger, it Is even more at the mercy of the winds than the 1.62. For exactly the same physical reasons It became in a measure a bit more difficult to handle on the greens since the diameter of the cups remained nt the old standard of 4'i Inches. There's no doubt about It, the "balloon ball" at the mercy of the elements.

It Increased size and weight have accentuated any errors In striking. That these things would occur was understood by those who fostered the adoption ol the new ball. They knew the average player, vho is far from an accurate hitter, would have more difficulty with this ball than with the 1.62. but the U. S.

O. A. hoped that through other characteristics it would prove a more pleasurable ball to play with. ADVANTAGES ARE OVERLOOKED sts illustrated that In wet weather and on heavy courses it would sit, up a wee bit better than the 1.62. It undoubtedly may be easier handled off the hard, sun-dried fairways with which so many golfers will have to contend In midsummer It will not act as the old 1.62 and run a country mile when half-topped.

In the sand it will not tend to drop as deep, and not flying as far and not being as heavy, it will stop shorter on the greens and, in general, be more easily handled on shots from sand. Every golfer who has had any real experience and who can recall conditions of play In other years will remember how much difficulty Boxing Bouts Tonigiil MAOISON SQCAKE f.AKOKV Jackie Purvis vs. Mike Payan, Sid Silas vs. Willard Brown, Happy thertnn vs. (Titer) Smith, Lou llaiper vs.

national eieht-oared championship. its first in the space of the whole lives of some of the men pulling sweeps in its thin cedar shell. Thus the day of alibis arrives, like Judgment Day, with but the difference that the former is immediately inevitable. IMPRESSIVE RECORDS? HERE WERE A FEW There were any number of reasons why the dope should have taken one look at the four-mile varsity races and leaped overboard to commit suicide. In the first place, Columbia had the most impressive pre-climax record.

In fact, there was nothing in sight to touch it. She beat Yale before Elis were caught drinking beer and fired from the Blue squad. She soundly trounced Navy, Princeton, Penn and M. I. T.

In the second place, Cornell had the second most impressive record, beating Yale on Derby Day with a long-in-the-water stroke reminiscent of Old Man Courtney's day when the Red and White ruled the Hudson with unbeatable blades. To be sure, that turned out to be the Ithacan's only early race. Spring Day being all washed up by an angry Lake Cayuga. In the third place. Navy became willy-nilly, the yardstick by which the other crews were measured, having raced Columbia, Syracuse and Harvard, the other unbeaten eights, and having been left beyond repair in their wakes.

In the fourth place, wnispers leaked out from Annapolis that Old Rich Glendon, the blue-eyed, cheerful and taciturn Cape Codder, would get no new contract, but that Navy was in a shopping mood for a crew coach. If that was true it was a cinch that it was Just too bad for the Navy crew. WHY YALE BECAME THE FAVORITE Switching' to the setup for New London alibis, one must admit that no such convincing reasons existed for picking Yale. However, in the first place, it was Charley Whiteside's flrsl year as coach on the Charlesbank. It is not considered quite au fait for a crew coach to break a string of Yale victories in his first year.

He must first install his system, etc. In the second place. Harvard had gone in for brute power and it was felt that the Crimson would be hampered by all the drawbacks of sweep-pulling giants, a certain slowness and clumsiness and indifferent control of slides likely to produce a check to the run of the boat. Men recalled Big Tim Clark and Guy Murchie, Herculeses both, who had rowed in a shell that trailed Yale by 9 i lengths. In the third place, there was magic in the name of Ed Leader, coach of the Elis.

Between you and me, I still think there was magic in his name last Friday. With a squad upset by the stern hand of training discipline, he managed to keep his shell within hail of Harvard, even if we now know it didn't have a chance. POSTPONEMENT WOULD HAVE RUINED NAVY Another element enters into the Poughkeepsie race that is almost ghoulish in its potentialities for what might have been. The announcement was that ii the river was not fit to row, the race would be postponed. It was felt unfair to the crews to send them away, as happened in 1929 and 1930, into the teeth of a thunder storm, with swamping all along the line.

After all, the boys worked all year for a shot at the Poughkeepsie title and electric disturbances overhead were hardly part of the art of watermanship. Now, if the race had been post- poned Navy couldn't have rowed. Discipline being what it is, midshipmen take their orders and like it. As it was, the Sea Pups pulled out 230 YARDS DOWN THE FAIRWAY!

Name 4ddress Citr Slate mer cruise. The late start had those not sitting in the referee's launch wondering whether Julian Curtiss, veteran starter, had sighted a school oi whales, an approaching hurricane or maybe a waterspout. It was only Syracuse dawdling and, a good many suspect, considering 82-year-old Ten Eyck's grumblings that the time set for the varsity slog was too early, the Orange was killing time under coach's orders. THE BIG 'IF' AT POUGHKEEPSIE There is the Poughkeepsie picture, out there on the water, by the stakeboats. A rule was passed a couple of years ago, setting a definite time limit for a shell to get lined up on its stakeboat.

Failure to conform brought the ponderous threat of disqualification. That rule was not enforced. If it had been, Cornell would not have been watching Syracuse. And if, during that delay, a squall had come tumbling down out of the cloud-draped mountains, the race would have been postponed and Navy would have automatically been ruled off the water by order of the Secretary of the Navy or maybe even President Hoover, for all I know. Cornell then would have been able to row its own race and would have won, I am sure.

And the experts would have been Major Proph ets with capital letters. THIS RACE SAVED GLENDON'S JOB Mind you, that is the "IF" at Poughkeepsie. Crews have a discouraging habit of rowing their races on the water instead of kindly putting them in and taking them out on the sports pages of the news papers. Craws are very inconsiderate that way. What happened, to me, was gorgeous.

Navy won and no alibis can explain it other than that Navy's crew was the best on the water. The Sea Pups are welcome gladly to their triumph, even if they did make monkeys of the prophets, myself included. In addition, a fine old Cape Cod man saved his Job if he wants it. Kenneth MacKenzie, a brand-new ensign and former Annapolis sprinter, blew in the day before the race to say that Glendon had made changes in his boat for the four-mile, that he had the stroke to win if he could find the men to pull it and, while he wouldn't say N'avy would win, he rather tnought the Midshipmen would look better than they had during the short-course season. When a coach can take a badly beaten crew, tinker with it and send it away to win at four miles, naturally an athletic management would think twice about firing him.

Poughkeepsie wipes out all memories of other defeats. EVEN NOW IT CAN'T BE FIGURED As for Harvard, it Just didn't seem to conform to the fitness of things that a crew which in two years had piled up a total of 19 lengths of defeat at the hands of Yale should step out and win actually going away. It was known that the Crimson had the power and five sophomores from a victorious 1930 freshman eight seated in the slides. But Harvard had only beaten Navy in dangerously rough water, to be sure by the same distance accomplished by Columbia. What most forgot was that Columbia had also beaten Yale by the same distance.

But even that doesn't quite explain it. For on past performances Columbia should have been as strong as Harvard on a line through Navy. But Navy won up the river. Columbia was seventh. Figure it out next year for yourself.

I know I'm going to watch these races and enjoy them for once with no predictions hanging over a graying head. Kerrigan and Walls Victors on Harlem The one mile Junior single gigs event that featured the 51st anniversary regatta of Metropolitan Rowing Club on the Harlem River yesterday was captured by Tom Kerrigan, former oarsman of Columbia University. Kerrigan got away to a fine start and held the lead throughout the race. He crossed the finish line about five lengths ahead of E. A.

The latter had led throughout the race, but Walls spurted in the last few hundred yards and nipped his opponent Just before the finish line.

Poor pitching was the first of the Dexter Park semi-pros' worries this season. An outfield that is not hitting is still a sore spot.

But the last straw came yesterday when I errors by Dutch Woerncr, fiery little shortstop, tossed both games of a double-header into the laps of the Colored Yankees, 9 to 4 and 5 to 3. In the first game Charley Cerny, former Columbia speedball ace, was beaten because Woerner missed on a ground ball, and four runs subsequently crossed the plate in the seventh inning of the first game. In the second game Turner's rap through Padgett went for two bases in the eighth inning, with the score tied at 2-all. Lee Schaenen then picked Turner off second neatly, but Woerner dropped the ball, and three winning runs crossed the plate. Chad See is the only Bushwick outfielder hitting the ball at present.

Trempcr, Lohr and Schriver continue in the throes of their slump, and the lineup may be jug gled before the Kandy Kids tackle the Staten Island Pioneers Wednesday night.

Umpires Brown, O'Sullvan and Shaner, Sackett's Homers Help Parkways George Sackett, former New York University star, clouted two home runs as the Bay Parkways split even in a double-header with the Stars of Cuba at Erasmus Fidld yesterday. After dropping the first contest, 6 to 4, the Parkways won the second, 5 to 1. These were the 14th and 15th circuit blows of the season for the ex-college player and enabled him to maintain a batting average of over .500.

Star golfers frequently have this shot go wrong for them.

They have periodic slumps. Perhaps an idea of Glenna Collett will help either class. The big thought in putting is to stroke the ball on a line to the cup. When unable to do that, Miss Col-lett suggests that you stretch a string straight over the surface of a putting green, place ycur ball as close to it as possible and practice putting it on a line parallel to the string.

Most of the excitement at the bike races is usually provided by the professional riders, but Arthur Rose, an amateur and star of the Acme Wheelmen. New York cycling organization, supplied the thrills at the Coney Island Velodrome last night, winning the one-mile amateur event, the third of the national championship series.

Rose easily outrode his field, beating Tino Reboli of the Alpine Wheelmen, his nearest competitor, by a comfortable margin. Eddie Miller of the Century Road Club of America was third and Robert Lipsett, Century Road Club Association, fourth. Incidentally, this was Rose's second consecutive victory. Charley Jaeger of Newark took this week's honors in the 40-mile motor-paced event. Gerard De-baetes, Belgium star, was second; Franco Georgetti, Italian idol, third, and Jimmy Walthour, fourth.

Jaeger was paced by Thomas Grimm. Louis Maltese, former amateur rider of Manhattan, won a junior motor-paced race, which was run off in three five-mile, heats, and scored on points. Maltese finished a poor last in his first start and came back with a garrison finish to take first place in the next heat. He finished second in the third start, scoring eight points in all.
