Open Low Score Record By RALPH TKOST. A GREAT Iron player now rules Metropolitan golfdom. He's Tammy Armour. Out at Shackamaxon, under a merciless blistering sun Armour won the Met open title with a record-tying score of 278, ten strokes under par, and could the score card on which the official total was recorded but speak it would tell tales of some marvelous Iron shots that made this scon possible.

The world expects a pro to hit a good drive. A let of only fair amatcuri have a good tee shot In their bag. A pro is expected to putt, for here too is a phase of golf at which many Just good amateurs are capable of competlna against pros on an even basis. Armour's got both these. And he's also tho owner of the finest shot in all golf, the stroke the amateur cannot play tho stroke which In most instances marks the difference between a professional and an amateur the half shot.

July 21 Your correspondent is almost completely cured of predicting anything lor or against the Brooklyn Robins of 1928. They completely dely anything ot that sort everything ol that sort, we should say. Given half a chance, they would defy the law of gravity Itself. Any day, now, Bate Herman may be expected to hit a fly ball up in the air that won't come down.

Only 48 hours ago the Robins looked like the most inept and despised tall team that ever tried to uphold the dignity of the minor leagues. In the first game of a double-header against the Cincinnati Reds they failed to take advantage of a powerful batting attack and were beaten, 11 to 10, because they made seven mechanical errors and as many mental ones. In the second game, the same day. they failed to take advantage of Bill Doak's airtight pitching and were beaten, 2 to I. That put the Robins only one game and a half ahead of the Pittsburg Pirates, who had won nine straight games.

Everything pointed to a slide Americans Find Amsterdam Stadium in Poor Shape on First Visit. Amsterdam, July 21 (h Aided by a soft and spongy track.

courts In Bay Ricjge, reviving memories ot when the game was in its infancy in this country. One might be templed to say It has now reached its second childhood, but tennis, of course, can stand the blow dealt Tilden. Largely through his play, the game developed Into a national major sport, and, no matter what decision Is made in his case, the court followers of the country are In his debt. It hardly goes without saying, however, that, with him barred from his old place of pre-eminence, the rest of the field takes on a new aspect. We know in advance, should he choose to defend his title, and he has ten- tatlvcly agreed, that Rene LacostO A man who can hit a half shot is an iron player! It took a course like Shackamaxon to bear this out.

Paris, July 21 (Pi America's erstwhile Davis Cup captain, "Bis Bill" Tilden, has been forced to the sidelines by ineligibility at least for the Interzone finals, but his spirit as well as the result of his teachings has left sufficient Impetus to make the United States still a formidable competitive factor in Davis Cup play. The sweeping brace of triumphs over the Italians in the opening day of Interzone play not only virtually assured the Yankees a place In the challenge round against France a week hence with or without Tiidtn, but produced new singles sensation in smiling John Hennessey.

Hunter's sweeping triumph over Placldo Gaslini, also in straight sets, 01, 61, 60. Praise From "Big Bill." But as "Big Bill" himself put it: "Take no credit away from John.

He may have been well advised as to generalship and type of game, but only his own efforts and bralniness put It over. "Hennessey's play was superb in every particular, especially in view of against the assault of track and field stars from every section of the world when the International gainu get under way. A few hours after the President Roosevelt carried the American team into Amsterdam Lawson Robertson head track and field coach, paid his lust visit to the Olympic Stadium and found the track and the inlield for the Held evens In an "eminently unsatislactory'' condition. 'Only a miracle can put the track into proper shape," Robertson said, adding that it would be "a lough Job to break any records here." The condition of the track Is the result of geographical difficulties. The stadium is built on marshland reclaimed by Dutch engineers.

It was not until last Tuesday, Robertson said, that experts in running track construction were called in to see what they could do toward remedying the soft and soggy turf.

Well, orders for flowers to be placed i'pon Brooklyn's baseball bier have been cancelled, for Douglas McWeeny stepped out in the first game of the feries and shut the bold, bad Buccaneers out. The Robins won that game with great pitching. The second game of the series, yesterday.

Brooklyn's pitching was terrible, and the Robins won on a display of the same kind of hitting thtt was wasted by amateurish fielding in Wednesday's first game. Brooklyn, which had a four game losing streak, now lias a two game winning streak over the Pirates, who had a nine game winning streak only two days ago. And Brooklyn is non-holding fiith place by three and or.e-half games, and Pittsburg apparently has booted Its opportunity to push the Robins down under. The last shall be first and the first test and all that sort of rot. How can youn understand a team like the Robins? It can't be done.

The track and field will again be national singles cnam-plon. But the field of the runner-up has been widened immeasurably by the barring of "Big Bill."

Likely Candidates Among Contestants. 'T'HE Metropolitan championship al- ready assumes an added importance. Sea Bright will be more eagerly watched. For, although Tilden would have entered neither, curiosity naturally is aroused as to whom shall be his successor as American ace. Hunter, Hennessey and Lott are among our best, but they have to fight their way.

There Is no foregone conclusion that any one of them will last out the rigorous play of elimination rounds, what with Van Ryn and Allison and others horsin; to fly higher into the tennis sun. There are several likely candidates taking to the Bay Ridge courts Lhis afternoon.

Il was just one of those afternoons upon which the late Benjamin Franklin Unusual things do occrt within short spans of time. Yesterday, we told of the complete change in the attitude of Harry Cooper toward golf.

Yesterday, we noticed for the first time the change in Armour. Tommy has become one of ths deliberate players among proies-sionals. Cyril Walker, the wlery little Eng. lishman, was long held up in comment as a terrible example of what a slow-going golfer can look like, and comment, as is usual, was unjust. Cyril, when he won the national open back in 1924, was slow, but It is doubtful if he could have touched Armour for deliberatcness.

Armour Wiggles and Wangles Indefinitely. ARMOUR wasn't always one to stand over his ball, waggle his club, sight his objective; waggle again and then look once more at the point at which he was aiming and do more waggling and looking. No, he used to be fairly fast. He was at Calimont. showing against the ace of the Ital here.

Armour and Farrell Have Exchanged Roles. TOMMY ARMOUR and Johnny Farrell have exchanged roles. Last year it was Armour who was monarch of American golf and Farrell who held the Met title. Now it is smiling Johnny who has his crip on the national honors and the call on the sheckles which roll into the purse of the champion, while Armour has gained the Met open champion's mantle. You've got to hand it to Farrell.

He can score and keep right on scoring despite what any one says about his entire game being based upon his putting skill. Farrell started off in tins event with a 75, Ave shots behind Armour.

In a trap in two, out in three and down In a slnglo putt for a par that sort of stuff is hard to beat. And Farrell made the difficulties of his opponents the harder by nailing about every possible birdie. Armour Missed Great Chance for Record.

PUTTING and scoring Is part ft golf. It stands to reason tha u. man must be putting well or Jayrhg his irons up against th flag to qo through four rounds of golf on any links in ton strokes under par. Armour was putting beautifully. That wooden affair he wields, shaped like the ordinary Braid-Mills putter, was working sweetly.

And Farrell did some sweet putting to score thosj three cunsecutlve under 70 rounds. Armour missed a great chance to set a Met open low score record. Coming to the 18th he had a four for a 69. That would have given him 278 and a new record. But those two extra strokes were used up when he put his second into a bunker alongside the green.

Strokes have a habit of disappearing that way, too large for him, while Paul wear: no distinguishing marks of any soil. On or off the field, it's all the same Both act like those conscientious ot-fiee workers struggling for a salary and trying to attract the attention oi the company president by quiet, careful and capable application to business.

They Look Gentle, But But there is nothing about tho Waners to inspire terror in a pitcher in their appearances, at Vast. Of course, If you are a gentleman who twirls and twists on the mound for a living and you look up their batting averages, your knees ill knock together and you'll probably not be able to get the ball over tlie plate. Lloyd Waner looks as though the most pestiferous house fly would be safe lii his gentle hands. They say Paul Waner bats with that faraway look in his eyes as though he were trying to recall an obscure quotation lrom Swinburne or Eddie Guest with LETS SEE j0V FROM the stands the stocky, little, broad-beamed "Hack" Wilson doesn't look very much like a cripple. He swings one of the healthiest bats In the National League and could doubtless throw an elephant by the tail several yards.

But when he was younger he received an injury that threatened to end his baseball career. It was during the first game of the season In the Blue Ridge League that the accident happened. Young Wilson was a catcher in those distant days and he was doing the receiving for Martinsbur. "Hack" slid into the plate, trying to score the winning run. But all he succeeded in doing was to break his leg in two places a compound fracture.

The doctors shook their heads dubiously when they examined the groaning boy. One of them said he would never walk again. The other was more optimistic. He declared Wilson would never play ball again By August he went hobbling gamely back behind the bat. Wilson discovered that his leg muscles had stiffened so he couldn't bend.

He was chagrined but not beaten. He went into the outfield, where he could stand upright. It took black disaster to make a great outfielder out of a mediocre catcher. IT CAN BE DONE. AMERICAN LEAGI E.

Robbie, I was pretty lucky today." Some of the confident, self-assured type might have replied, "You were pretty lucky, Robbie, that I didn't get a couple more." The answer of the matter-of-fact athlete would have been, "Yes. I did cunnect with a couple, Robbie." A plain statement of fact. Mr. Waner replied, "Thank you very much, Mr, Robinson," For the first time In 25 years a National League ball player had called Robbie Mr. Robinson.

It was all very unexpected, but after two or three of water had been dashed into the Brooklyn manager's face he recovered sutficiently to board the train.
