GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, 14 APRIL, 1937 A. BECK'S GOLF TRIUMPH DUNLOP MIDLAND TOURNAMENT WON Consistent Play by Sherwood Forest Professional at Ladbrook Park GEORGE BUCKLE RUNNER-UP By OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT A G. BECK, of Sherwood Forest, won the Dunlop Midland professional championship yesterday. He came very near that honour last year when he was runner-up to W. J.

Branch (then of Henbury and now of Leicester). Yesterday, on the Harborne course, he secured the championship by one stroke over George (Battling) Buckle, of Ladbrook Park, the veteran Midland golfer who is on everybody's heels nearly every time. Beck is so good a golfer, and has been so near winning honours during several years, that one ought to begin by describing his almost perfect golf yesterday. The drama of the situation, however, impels one to concentrate on the gallant attempt of George Buckle to overtake the winner. In tho morning round, look had returned a 71 a.

a result of great golf. He made only three mistakes through three-putting on the tenth, eleventh and twelfth, but he got two of the lost three strokes book wih single putts on the eeeee teenth and eighteenth. On no fewer than five greens his ball stopped on the lip of the hole. Another half-turn of the ball and he would have recorded a N. In the afternoon Beck played golf lust as good through the green and somewhat better on the green.

He three-putted twice, but made do with single putts on four greens. He wanted a three at the last hole (MB yards) for a 69, but failed to find the green. Jack Cawsey, of Pype Hayes, also made a strong bid to bring the championship again into the Birmingham area. With an aggregate of 144 (71 and 73) he was but three strokes behind the leader. Cawsey was driving like a master.

Only once throughout the day did he leave the the 13th, during the morning, when he put his tee shot out of bounds. But, though he had single putts on three greens, he needed three putts to get down on no fewer than five greens. In the afternoon Cawsey began to dissipate strokes on the homeward journey. He took three putts from the edge of the 11th green; he three-putted on the 12th; he took a five at the 13th, where he duffed a mashie-niblick approach through lifting his head (the rabbit. will thank you, Jack, for that gesture); and then he took four putts from seven yards at the 14th.

For the rest, the swan-song of most of the fancied competitors had to do with the three-putting complex. Take Bill Martin (Copt Heath), for example. He took three putts on six greens in the morning and on eight in the afternoon. Had there been no greens Bill Martin would have won the competition by many strokes. But there were many others In the same difficulty.

Pemberton, of Sutton Coldfield, twice In the morning and four times in the afternoon; Algy Holton (Moor Hall) needed three putts four times in the morning and five times in the afternoon; and so on. It is putting that wins and I loses championships. Other competitors had bad luck in other directions. The veteran Tom Williamson (Notts) had a 7 at the eleventh (420 yards) through putting his second shot into a bunker and taking three to get out. And he had a 5 at the short eighteenth through placing his tee shot in a bunker and needing three putts.

Manton (Handsworth) had returned a useful 74 in the morning. In the afternoon he wanted a 4 and a 3 (possible pars) to return a 69. But he took a 6 at the seventeenth, where his second was on the edge of the green and where his chip went so far beyond the pin that he needed three putts; and he had a 5 at the eighteenth, where his tee shot failed to find the green and where he took three putts. The scores were: lit rd. 2nd rd.

(Notts) 76 74 ROUND OF 11 George Buckle had registered a 71 in the morning. Except for one lapse, he had never played better golf through the green. The lapse was at the short third, where he socketed his tee shot so badly that he found himself farther from the green than when he made his first stroke. He took a four. On the greens his only slips were at the ninth and tenth.

He came back with the remarkable figures of seven fours, a three and a two. Buckle, at this stage equal score with Beck, was well set to give the Nottingham man a run. He started well. He was out in under fours under the bogey for the outward half. But he made a fatal mistake.

He underclubbed at the 16th (337 yards), with the result that his second shot pitched into a bunker and he had to register a five. But Buckle did not despair. He got par figures at the 17th. and at the 18th (Mt yards), where he knew he must have a two to tie, he hit a perfect tee shot to the green. It landed about six yards from the flag.

George surveyed the land. George settled down to putt. Calm, imperturbable (as George always is) he hit the ball. The ball rolled up to the hole, lipped it, looked down into it, and swung away. THE RYDER CUP British Team Selection Committee THE Professional Golfers' Association have chosen the following committee to select the British team to oppose America in the Ryder Cup contest at Southport and Ainsdale on 2 1 .1 and 30 June J.

Albion's team will Adams; Finch, Shaw (G.E.); Murphy, Ridyard, Sankey; Mahon, Richardson (W.G.), Robbins, Wood. Compared with the side beaten in the F.A. Cup semi-final the defence remains unaltered, but there are two positional changes, and one newcomer in the forward line. Jones has had trouble with his foot over the week-end, and Boyes takes his place as partner to Mahon. Bobbins tills the inside-left vacancy.

and Wood returns on the wing. This will be the first appearance in the side since he was injured in the third round Cup tie against Spennymoor United at The Hawthorns, on 16 January, although he has had one or two games with the reserves. The match will provide an addled attraction inasmuch as Cecil Shaw, who is acting as Albion's captain, will be appearing against his former club. With Albion determined on making their League position safe now that they have been relieved of further Cuptie anxiety, the encounter is likely to produce a struggle well up to the standard of the previous clashes.

It is estimated that the gate receipts will approach 120.01%). Of this Baer will receive about and Farr REFOROB OHOSIN Farr was more maligned than an, champion for many years.

Naos Ills twin has shad 'ear plitely, and it is agreed that the odds of 3 to I against Parr, whillil wore being amen tees days wore absurdly airsoresmi. I have aatched Haer at his training camp and Farr in the ring, and. whilii I still feel that if Farr is defeated II will not be shamefully so, It Is MI cult to predict other than victory fol the former world champion.

The likeliest conclusions are that Farr will win on points if the fight goes the distance, but that User more likely to interrupt the proceed ings with a knock-out from that mile derous left-hook of his Last night it was announced that the referee would be Mr. C. H. Douglas. 3 surprise decision, as of the several names mentioned as possible officials that of Mr.

Jack Smith, of Manchester. was considered most likely 'o be chosen. The contest is regarded as important, mainly because of the fervent hope that is attached to it that Farr will do something to raise the flag of British boxing so that we need not unduly fear the foreign invasion of which Baer is the first sample. One could not look forward to such a tight with the hope of seeing a display of boxing such as was provided In i the last fight of world Lynch-Montana contest, but Baer has shown that he is a good sportsman and an attractive personality, and his meeting with the conqueror of Ben Foord should provide the excitement and colour, for which crowds will now sacrifice all else. With regard to Farr's chances there has been an amazing switchover of opinion.

Following the Welshman's defeat of Foord, nearly everybody expressed the view that Farr's prospects in a tight with Baer were not worth mentioning, and that it was a contest hardly worth promoting.

SCOTT BEATS A. HIGHFIELD Tributes to Alfred ALFRED HARPER, the new British amateur feather-weight champion, and incidentally, the first representative of the Aston club to win a national title, received a big ovation, when he appeared with the Silver trophy awarded by the Amateur Boxing Association, at the Aston Club, last night. Harper was introduced by Mr. W. Carter, president of the Aston Club, who stated that the champion was not only a credit to his club, but to Birmingham.

The president also paid a tribute to the excellent coaching Harper had received from the club's instructor. Mr. Albert Hodder, and also added that Harper would definitely appear in a contest at the club next Tuesday. when the annual tournament on behalf of the funds of the Birmingham General Hospital will be held. Ah inter-club v.

Small of three scheduled bix rounds contests was decided, and resulted in victories for the visiting club members in two of the events. weight contest. It was a very close tight, in which the more systematic work at close quarters just managed to secure Hartley the honours. Jayes certainly proved the more orthodox boxer, but despite this he was mainly kept busily engaged in dealing with his rival's aggressive methods. L.

Dixon (Small Heath) defeated H. Connell (Aston) in a feather-weight contest, the referee stopping the fight during the third round to save the Aston boxer further punishment. Connell, in the opening round, boxed skilfully witih his left hand, and in a noticeable degree prevented Dixon froth bringing into action a disturbing right hand punch. Dixon, however, was always too formidable and his vigorous punching to the body soon had Connell distressed, and it was a wise decision on the part of the official to intervene.
