...Collector FitzPatrick, Director of the Sunday Times, Sydney, Australia.?ED. Tinker's Version Sirs: The controversy on the famous Merkle play in your columns has been of interest to me. While reading Evers' letter last Sunday morning I glanced out my window and saw Joe Tinker chasing a golf ball up the fairway. Joe stopped on my call and I plied him for his version of the affair. Joe says he DID NOT hold McGinity's arms. His story is that he tried to call Emslie's attention to the play and that Phfiester, the pitcher, grabbed the "Iron...
They brought him a cake with 21 candles. That and the French professional golf championship, the first European championship he has ever won, were Horton Smith's birthday presents. To Aubrey Boomer, the St. Cloud professional and Smith's nearest competitor, they brought a score card which Boomer, nervous, could scarcely sign. The figures scribbled on this card showed that Boomer had made a record-breaking 61 (33-28) for 18 holes on the St. Cloud golf course. The course is 6,507 yds. long. Boomer averaged 107 yds. per shot, including puts and approaches. For Gene Sarazen who came...
Champion Smith had found on the St. Cloud course, just outside of Paris, what golfers call their "element." The Smith golf is highly stylized, has mostly been played on the hard, fast fairways of Missouri and California. Golfer Smith's two feet and the head of his club, when it touches the ground, nearly always form that invisible equilateral triangle so exuberantly eulogized in golf textbooks. During the recent European venture of U. S. professional golfers, he has been the direct antithesis of erratic unorthodox Leo Harley Diegel. On the careless hillocks and ridges of Muirfield and Moortown where...
...George Horace Lorimer's Saturday Evening Post has a weekly circulation of three million. Editor Ray Long's Cosmopolitan (owned by Publisher William Randolph Hearst) has a monthly circulation of 1,620,000. Lately these two able men have been engaged in a little game of magazine golf; and now the score is all even at the turn-Editor Long with Calvin Coolidge's autobiography appearing in Cosmopolitan; Editor Lorimer with a contract for the life story of Alfred Emanuel Smith tucked snugly away in his safe. Last week something occurred to bring forth the question: Will...
Joyce Wethered's, last week, was the voice of three silent years. Because a crowd had pushed and howled at Troon in 1926 when she was playing Glenna Collett she decided to play no more for championship golf cups. It made no difference to her that Mlle. Simone Thion de la Chaume and then Mlle. Manette le Blan thereafter won the British Ladies' Title. Joyce Wethered, whose impersonality sometimes is tantamount to genteel insolence, plays golf for amusement and crowds do not amuse her. But last week on St. Andrew's course in Scotland she played again...
