Tricky Course Puts Premium On Accuracy

Narrow Fairways May Help Such Golfers as Snead And Thomson.

DENVER, June 8 (U. P.).—The 42d annual National Open Golf Championship shaped up today as one of the widest open fights in history as some 170 players—shortpriced favorites among the pros, and rank outsiders, both professional and amateur—tested their shots in a final tour of Cherry Hills’ exacting layout. ~ The tournament starts tomorrow with 18 holes of medal play and continues Friday with 18 more. At the end of the first 36 holes the low 60 and ties stay in the running and play 36 holes on Saturday. Not for a decade has there been such a wide divergence of expert opinion as to the type of game that should win the National and so the naming of favorites became little less than a lottery. Sarazen a Factor There was that school of golfing thought which maintained that the sluggers like Slamming Sammy Snead and that hard-hitting Scotsman from Shawnee, Pa. Jimmy Thomson, are the ones for whom the course was designed. Others held that the brainy straight shooters like Paul Runyan and Harry Cooper were the ones to watch, The point is that Cherry Hills has long holes but it also has narrow fairways. So a long, straight ball will be the thing on many holes. The rough, however, is one basis of argument. Some of the boys insist that the rough, while deep, isn’t overly tough. Others rate it the sturdiest form of growing vegetation known to the National since that event got into the | big time. Ralph Guldahl, the husky defending champion who put up a record

and Bobby Cruickshank. Sarazen has scored consistently well in his practices during the past two days and it would be no miracle if the

former Westchester County caddy should become a three-time winner of the National.

281 in winning last year, was the 6-1 betting favorite as the boys | went out for final practices Snead, who opened next in line at 8-1, | dropped into 7-1 in the early morn- | ing quotations, and heavy play on | this money-winning West Virginian, wired in from outlying precincts, | indicated that he might be the choice by lunch time. Two of the old-timers, somewhat overlooked in early contemplation of the open, and who have the sort of game suited to Cherry Hills’ ex- | acting holes, were Gene Sarazen

He won it first in 1922 and repeated 10 years later. Cruickshank, too, although he has never won the title, has been up there for more than a decade and has shown a consistently sound form in his rehearsals Galleries for the 1938 open may show a return to those of the golden era of Bob Jones. Upwards of 3000 paid admissions have been recorded daily for practice rounds since Saturday and a final-day throng of 10,000 was not an improbability.

Does Your Breath Broadcast— “] WEAR FALSE TEETH”?

Play Safe —Be Sure—Use Polident

Most people who wear plates or bridges suffer from a special kind of bad breath. Dentists call it—“denture breath.” You won't know if you have it— but it can spoil your happiness. Friends will shudder—people avoid you! And the worst of it is that ordinary brushing cannot prevent it. Neither will mouth washes. For the odor comes from a mucin-scum that collects on plates and bridges. This scum soaks up germs and decay bacteria and causes a vile odor that you cannot detect. One thing can stop “denture breath”—and that’s Polident! This new brushless cleaner has won the approval of thousands of dentists. Users say it's a blessing. \ Poiident not only purifies,

false teeth —but also removes all stain, tarnish and deposits. Makes breath sweeter — plates look better and feel better. Costs only 30¢ at any drug store and lasts for many weeks. Money back if not delighted.

LOU AMBERS HELD TO DRAW BY ARIZMENDI

LOS ANGELES, June 8 (U. P.).— Lou Ambers, lightweight boxing champion, has only until July 26 to boast of the title that he now holds, fight fans here decided today. They reached the conclusion that Ambers will surrender the crown to Henry Armstrong on that date, after the disappointing manner in which the Herkimer, N. Y. lightweight boxed to a 10-round draw with Baby Arizmendi last night. Ambers at no time was able to show a decisive edge over his young opponent who recently lost nine out of 10 rounds to Armstrong. Before the fight, Ambers had heen quoted the favorite at 10-to-1 odds, with no takers.

Course Tough,

Pros Agree

Harry Cooper Guesses It Will Take 285 to Take Open Honors This Year.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer DENVER, June 8.—We are all sitting in the locker room of the Cherry Hills Country Club where beginning tomorrow the National Open Golf Championship is to be played. Harry Cooper comes in. Somebody asks Cooper what the winning score will be . . . “Well, I'll take 285 now and wait for them to hand me the cup,” he answered.

Last year Ralph Guldahl won with 281 at Detroiv. The year before Tony Manero won with 282 in Jersey. Cooper's estimate indicated the test here would be much harder than in recent years. The cbhvious implication was this is a tougher course. A round-faced gentleman with black curly hair and dimpled cheeks speaks up. They call him Mysterious Montague. Maybe you have heard of him. He says:

“It is a tough course, but not unfairly so. It is a course that calls for good work up here,” pointing to his head. “The golfer who wins here must not only shoot good golf but he must think good golf. By that I mean he must know what he’s doing, or trying to do, on avery shot.” It seems that Cherry Hills is a course which places a high premium on well placed tee shots. The fairways are narrow. The greens are small. They are trickily trapped. If the tee shot is well placed the approach to the greens is none too difficult. Olin Dutra joins the group. He won the championship at Merion in 1934 with finishing rounds of T1 and 72. He won because he placed his tee shots better than anybody else in the field. His accurate tee second shots, and as a result he was always

| within easy putting distance.

“This course is much like Merion,” said Dutra. “It is a course which stresses the importance of the tee shot. If you put your first ball where it should be you don’t figure to have much trouble with your next shot. But if you are wild off the tee you will find yourself in for a very distressing afternoon.” Dutra went on to say he thought the importance of the tee shot in golf was dismally underestimated. . . “I know everybody says the championship is won or lost on the greens, but you've got to get there first. Isn't that true?” Nobody seemed to have a squelcher for that. So Dutra continued . .. “And doesn't it stand to reason that the quicker you get there, I mean without wasting shots, the better off you are going to be? It is my conviction that a long tee shot, well placed, softens up any hole?”

ROCHE AND THESZ WRESTLE TO DRAW

Following 90 minutes of action Dorve Roche, 220, Decatur, Ill, and Louis Thesz, 226, St. Louis, today were right back where they started after they had wrestled to a draw last night at Sports Arena. Roche took first advantage in 20 minutes with a flying tackle and body press, but Thesz made it one

apiece with a body press 59 minutes later. With a 10-minute rest period thrown in, all but one of the allotted 90 minutes had been used.

Neither grappler could accomplish |

anything in those 60 seconds so the match ended all even. Chief Little Beaver, 220, Texas, downed Ray Villmer, 219, St. Louis, with a body press in 16 minutes and Frank Sexton, 229, Akron, flattened Floyd Marshall, 235, Arizona, with a reverse figure four and scissors after 14 minutes.

It logically follows that the intrinsic value of a thing is based upon the degree of satisfaction a human gets from ' possessing it.
