Page Eight THE WICHITA EAGLE (EVENING) Tuesday, June 7, 1938 U.S. Open Players Discard Most Wood MAY USE BRASSIE OFF TEE AS NEED FOR IRONS PROVED Sharpen "Blasters" to Cut Out of High Rough at Cherry Hills Course NO. 17 IS TOUGHEST By STUART CAMERON (United Press Sports Editor) DENVER, June (U.P.)The emory wheel in Harold Long's pro shop was worked overtime today as America's ace golfers sharpened their implements of links warfare before starting the next-tolast day of heavy practice for the national open golf championship. The 42nd annual open may be decided by the keenness of a pitching iron. This is the Cherry Hills course where the national will be played on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, places a premium on straight tee shots.

So, when a drive is sent off line, the player will find himself in deep rough and the smart way to get out is to use a pitching Implement with enough of a razor edge cut through the Colorado clover and sky the ball to the tiny green. Frank Walsh, who has played in every open for the past decade, was good, average example of the player who was sharpening his irons. "I'm carrying no fewer than three dynamiters," Walsh said today. "And to do this I am putting only two woods my bag. They'll be a driver and a No.

3, wood (a spoon). You watch the other bags and you'll find the boys are carrying three woods at the very most. Some won't even use a driver. They'll use a brassie or a spoon off the tees and use their irons the rest of the way." Most discussed hole of the Cherry Hills layout which is set near the snow-clad Rocky Mountains, was No. 17, a five-par item of 545 yards.

This hole, according to Walsh, is the toughest five-par hole for national in the past ten years. It has, an toughest matter island of five-par green. fact," in Walsh America. said, Only "it's the 18th at Pebble Beach- in California and the 15th at the Miami Biltmore with it. The Cherry Hills' can compare simply isn't hole where eagles are born.

You just have to be content with putting your second in spot where you have nice pitch for the green. Nobody will get home in two and the only WAS you could eagle that baby would be to hole out with a miracle approach." Virtually all of the field of 170 were out on Cherry Hills' fairways and greens today.

June 7- (UP)-Max Schmeling, who meets the heavyweight champion, Joe Louis, in a title fight June 22, appealed to the New York State Boxing 'commission today to reinstate as a second, Joe Jacobs, who was instrumental in winning him the championship eight years ago. The German said that if necessary he would go before Commission Chairman John J. Phelan and ask that the suspension of Jacobs be lifted. It was understood that if the appeal was denied Schmeling would ask Gov. Herbert Lehman to overrule the commission.

Jacobs, who is Schmeling's American manager, was suspended because of a disagreement with the commission over the training methods of Tony Galento, the Jersey heavyweight whom he manages. A shrewd second, Jacobs was in the German's corner the night he lifted the crown from Jack Sharkey in 1930. When Sharkey struck the questionable blow, Jacobs jumped into the ring bellowing "foul, foul, foul!" and the crown passed to his fighter, the first heavyweight title lost on a foul.

Open Time Arrives Complaints That Links Are too Tough Are Popping Up Again By DENVER, June -It's complaint time in the Rockies, not springtime. Here in the land of the eternal snow, who will make a livat throb are raising an eternal fuss over the condition of the Cherry Hills course, site of the National Open championship which starts on Thusday. jungly that only a foolhardy man They say the rough is so deep, and would venture into without first beaters. They fairways are sending in his stalker, and native so narrow that a snake could not crawl down them without having his fenders scratched by the bordering trees and vegetation. Before Thursday they probably will have put the blast on the club's cooking, the rarified air, the score pads in the card room, and the cut of the caddies' clothes.

No one will take offense at this, or hold it too seriously, because just as there is an unwritten law which guarantees a citizen the right anything he wants to martini-be it olive, onion, or prune- so is there an unwritten law which allows the golf professional to attack the national open course. They always do. If golf is played in Valhalla you may rest assured there are pros up there who object to the gold greens, pearl fairways, and the milk and honey hazards. The squawks of the pros on the eve of all national opens are based on their belief that officials of the host club always go out of their way to stiffen their course for the open. In fairness to the professionals, it must be said that this is sometimes true.

Every once in a while the boys run into a club where the members are very vain about the toughness of their course and have pledged that its par won't be banged about by even the game's greatest scorers. So they set out to increase its hazards, by fair means or foul. Traps are juggled with, greens are skinned, and the pins placed in treacherous spots. The pros were very bitter about the way they found Oakmont a few years ago, and said its greens were as unfair as 11 ounces to a pound. And they kicked mightily at Oakland Hills last year, saying the rough was far too long and heavy.

They had to take back this criticism, however, when Ralph Guldahl turned in record score of 281-two strokes better than the mark Tony Manero had established at Baltusrol a year earlier. And Baltusrol was not touched by officials. It played for the pros just as it had always played for its members. I haven't seen the new Cherry Hills layout, being as my train didn't get me here until an hour or so ago. I saw the course last fall when the changes for the open were just being started.

At that time it seemed eminently fair and a shade on the easy side. It was to me, you perhaps remember, that Lawson Little gave the story In New York few months back, of how Cherry Hills would be burned to bits by the pros, and how record score of 280 or less would be the winning total. That story brought me many indignant protests from Denver folk, and also many offers of bets. Since the time of the story Little seems to have changed his mind about the course. I have read where he says the changes have made it "ridiculous." and a score of anywhere between 290 and 800 might win.

I'll have to talk to him about that. If he feels that way then he can have part of the bets I made with "indignant Denver," "Cherry Hills backer," and the sentleman who, after I wrote the Little story, wired me that smart alec and bum.

WHAT! YOU HERE AGAIN? SURE! IT'S TIME FOR A BOTTLE OF MULE FOR A DIME! fR ASK FOR MULE -THE BEER WITH A SMILE of the justly famous WPA strike at the Manter dam in Stanton county, the nature of which appears to be the simple expedient of meeting the strikers terms. "The strike itself seems to have been launched as a protest against machinery which lessened the or at least the man hours on the job. There seemed to be some fears expressed also that the dam would finally be finished in time, if mechanical aids were used, thus leaving nothing to be done in Stanton county in years ahead. "The big freshet of early May put nine feet of silt into the giant reservoir which is being created by the dam. Since the dam will be only 40 feet high to the spillway, the deposit of silt in lone good flood indicates that about three more floods on successive years will build the lake bed up even with the spillway, leaving no room for the water it was intended to hold back.

"Since the dam has been under construction for nearly three years, those in charge are now rushing construction plans so that it can be finally completed before the silt deposit is with the top of the spillway. Everybody seems to feel that the dam should be finished by the time the reservoir is silted to the top, but it will be a race between WPA labor and nature, with nature's annual. flood enjoying a considerable at this time, and the new problem of strikes entering the picture, "One forlorn Stanton county farmer, who is. good at figures, has pointed out that the million dollars spent on the big Bear creek dam would have drilled a deep well big enough to irrigate a quarter section of land for every farmer remaining Stanton county, with plenty left over for pumps all around engines as well, but the dam boosters answer, 'Who ever heard of catching fish or going boating in a deep and they've got the irrigator there, except for the fact that one good well or windmill reservoir will hold more water than the Manter dam, given about three more floods like the recent one."
