Ghezzi Must Prove His Class {In 72-Hole Chicago Open Meet

CHICAGO, July 18 (U. P.)—Big Vic Ghezzi of Deal, N. J., was
Upper Right—Thirteen-year-old Bobby Hall learns the proper golfing grip as Mary Jo Mooney, 11, listens in.
Upper Left—Jimmy Hogshire, 9 years old, ought to be an accurate putter when he gains his majority.
Below—Fred Gronauer, assistant pro at Highland, uses the
sandtrap for a classroom as he gives the youngsters a few point-
ers on this game of golf.
Smith Starts Them Young
Professional Roy Smith firmly believes that any youngster, properly tutored, ’can become an A-1 adult golfer. That was his theory when he began classes for the kiddies at Hillcrest, and he was rewarded by having among his graduating juniors such star pupils as John David, present State Amateur champion, and Mrs. Harriet Randall Ochiltree, former city and state titleholder. So when Smith moved over to Highland this year, he took along this idea of junior golfing classes. He and Fred Gronauer, the club’s assistant pro, give instruction each Saturday morning. ‘Children from 8 to 11 meet at 9 a. m., and those from 12-15 come to school two hours later. About 20 were present when attendance was taken last Saturday, and Roy expects enrollment to jump tomorrow.
Franck Takes 1st

into the pitching sensation of the season, rode out a storm to defeat the New York Giants for his eleventh consecutive victory at the Polo
Grounds.
Riddle is either lucky or good, and most dugout observers are heginning to think that he is both after last night’s 5- 3 wiumph over the Giants. Every conceivable jinx A and bad break :j was flung at him and yet he weathered the storm and protected his perfect record : with victory No. 11. i For example: An interviewer | chewed his ear off in the dugout be- ii 2 fore the game, asking him how Eimer Riddle he did it, how long he thought he could keep it up, and if he was born under a lucky star and if his house down in Columbus, Ga., was on the left hand side of the road and at the correct angle to catch the moonbeams at certain periods. He had to protect a one-run lead through the last five innings, in four of which the Giants had the tying run on base In the eighth and ninth the tying run was on third base. To make the law of averages operate tremendously against him, Bill Terry brought in as a relief pitcher Fiddler Bill McGee, who hasn't won a game for the Giants. McGee pitched masterfully while waiting for the tying run which was in the offing but never came across. Twice Manager Bill McKechnie had a relief pitcher warm up to re-
b rising one short of a tie.

Pomy, a Detroit automobile salesman, in the semi-final round over the sun-baked Indian Canyon Course. Clark, an aircraft worker, had turned in nothing but eye-popping rounds until he bumped into Kearns. He had been 15 under par for 85 holes of medal and match play, and his poorest round was 71. But Karns set a burning pace that even Clark couldn't follow and pulled out with a 2 and 1 victory. Semifinalists in the lower bracket
‘|were Bill Welch, of Houston, Tex,
and Pete Doll of Louisville. Welch eased out Bob McReynolds, Portland, Ore. 1 up, while Doll was dropping the last of the Hawaiian delegation, Loio Palenapa, 3 and 2. Kerns was hot from the start. He
‘won the first four holes with three
birdies and an eagle and was never headed. He finished the first nine in 34, one up on Clark. On the back nine Kerns picked up another hole on the 12th and a third on the 14th with pars, but dropped the 16th.
{Each had pars on the.17th and de-
ciding hole. Pomy was forced to an extra hole match to win from Bob Daniel, San Francisco. Daniel, who weighed only 106 pounds, was 1 up at the turn but Pomy shot the back nine two under par to square the conJest Daniel was bogey on the extra ole. Welch turned in a 1 up victory over McReynolds, earlier victor over Bill Korns, Salt Lake schoolboy and an early favorite. McReynolds was two over par and two down on the first nine, but went ahead briefly on the back nine nly to falter again. Palenapa wasn’t up to his earlier sound game and easily fell before Doll. The Hawaiian took a 39 for the first hine and was three over par when the contest ended.
