Little Proves Golf Greatness
HIS SPIRIT FLAMES
IN MATCHGOMBAT
Record Score in Canadian
Open Shows He Can Zip
in Medal Game, Too.
BY W. R. McCALLUM.
WITH two major victories
under his belt since he
turned pro last April, Law
son Little is going to be
hard to get along with in the pro
fessional golf ranks.
Victor with a record score in the
Canadian open championship last
August, the burly Californian, who
reigned as king of the world ama
teurs during 1934 and 1935. has done
only fairly well In medal play tour
naments. But stick him in at match
play and it's altogether another
matter.
The way Lawson waded through
the field In the San Francisco $5,000
open proves that the one-time terror
of the simon-pures is going to be
Just as rugged an hombre in profes
sional match play golf. It's a pity
he couldn’t have gotten into the P.
G. A. title tourney at Pinehurst last
November, where he would have been,
without doubt, one of the toughest
gents in the field.
Has Keen Competitive Spirit.
T AWSON is one of those unusual
men who are blessed with the
rare competitive temperament that
flames to new heights when the going
is hard. He had so many narrow
Squeaks during 1934 and 1935, matches
when It looked as if he was in for a
shellacking, and came from behind
to win, that no one who followed his
career can help but regard him as
one of the finest match players who
ever drew on a cleated shoe.
There have been a few great match
players to thrive on man-to-man
oombat, men like Jerry Travers, who
wasn't so hot at medal play; Walter
Hagen, Gene Sarazen and John Ball,
eight or nine times British amateur
king. Men of this stripe can't seem
to get going in the comparative calm
of medal play, but in match play when
an opponent lays one up against the
pin their spirit flames like a meteor.
Such a man is Lawson Little. He
has proven it again as a pro, after 31
consecutive victories in amateur match
play against the best of the United
States and Britain.
Not Just Another Pro.
VLTHEN Lawson turned pro during
the Jones tournament last April
a lot of knowing folks scratched their
chins and opined that the amateur
king was stepping into a batch of
trouble; that as a pro he wouldn't be
worth a dime, and that he would be
come just another golfer, like some
of the prominent amateurs who turned
professional. But Lawson has given
them another jolt.
He has turned from the grim-faced,
taciturn match player of his amateur
days to a more gracious individual
who finds his new spirit aids him in
winning. And his game has the same
potency it had against the amateurs.
Professional golf probably is a shot
or two a round ahead of the best
amateur golf, but Lawson was a shot
or two ahead of the amateurs, which
put him fairly close to the best of
the pros. He has tougher, keener
competition as a pro, but he can take
It and dish it out.
Lawson Little has proved his great
ness as a match player in two classes
of the game of golf. Don’t toss him
off as just another amateur turned
pro. He has plenty on the ball.

When it comes to staging rousing rassle riots—male variety
—the proprietor of Washington’s only pro ring emporium has
few peers, but—in the South it’s the gals who are packing in
the paying guests. Here you see one of the gentle acts from the
engagement last night at Atlanta in which Mrs. Billy Wolfe
<the brunette) of Kansas City rushes Miss Clara Mortensen of
Glendale, Calif., against the ropes, jumps on her shoulders and
fastens on a leg-lock. P. S.—Mrs. Wolfe was the winner when
her blond opponent was disqualified for, of all things, hair
pulling. —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto.

ANY GUY who can perpetrate a
72, which happens to be even
par, in the dead of Winter
over such a lengthy course as
Congressional, can be tabbed right ofl
the bat as more than a novice at
the business of
whacking a golf
ball around a
manicured pas
ture in something
approaching
proven skill. But
Gene Pittman's
72s are mere than
casual affairs.
Since the day
Gene left Texas
flat on its pan
handle and came
to Washington to
help Uncle Sam
out of a rut he's
been tagged as _
one of the better
amateur club-swingers around these
precincts.
He hasn’t won a tournament yet,
and he may not do so for a while.
There’s the little matter of eating to
be attended to, and Gene figures that
to eat you have to work, and to play
golf you have to find the money some
where, and he hasn't found it grows on
trees yet.
So Gene doesn't have a great
deal of time for golf. But as
a week-end links-killer he
doesn’t do so badly.
JUST now Texas' gift to local golf
is busy figuring up annual leave
so he can make things uncomfortable
for some of our better simon-pures in
the Spring tournament parade which
opens at Woodmont early in May.
The Chevy Chase tournament is his
goal, and one with sad memories, for
Gene was one of seven gents who fig
ured in a play-off for the last six
places in the first flight of the Chevy
Chase tournament last year, and it’s
more than a laugh to hear him tell
of how they did him wrong.
“Ah got a 76 which I figured was
good enough,” he drawls. “And when
they told me I had to play off with
six other fellows Ah didn’t figure it
was so tough. Ah was coastin’ along,
not trying too hard and Ah figured
I'd kinda save myself for match play
after that play-off.
“Well, Ah put my second shot
on the edge of the green, and
the other fellows were all off
in the spinach and the high
grass, and Ah figured Ah was.
in.
“You know, just a kick down to
the hole, a par 4 and it was a cinch.
And then they began popping ’em
up around the cup and Ah took three
shots and a 5 and Ah was out. Boy,
that was a rude shock.”
gUT you never can tell about this
golf thing. Gene qualified for the
amateur championship at Garden
City last September. He’s a little guy,
but he's also one of the straightest
hitters you’d see in a month of Sun
day golf.
He was drawn against one of those
altogether charming English lads, a
tall boy with pink cheeks and a casual
manner, who swung from the port
side. The English lad’s name was
Langley and he was a member of the
British Walker Cup team, which
should have been the tip-off to Gene.
The British don't put punks on their
teams.
“Well, we went out,” says Gene,
recounting the match. "And we were
having a good time. Langley was
such a nice boy, so pleasant and
sorta casual, he made you think the
birds sang sweeter that morning
than they’d ever sung, and the trees
were greener, and everything was
lovely. I got 3 up at the seventh
hole, and was just coasting along,
and then, all of a sudden, this pleas
ant guy stuck out his hand and said:
‘Sorry, old man; you had
some tough luck on those last
few holes. Better luck next
time.’
"And Ah was licked. Ah’ll swear
he made it so pleasant and nice that
the holes began to slip away from
me and before Ah knew it he'd licked
me.
"But we had a good time, and
let me tell you this: -1’U never
trust an Englishman again.
They're too darned nice.”
k
YSfELL, Gene, in his own casual way,
is quite a golfer himself. He
went over to Congressional from Ken
wood, and the boys had it figured
out that Gene wouldn’t be so tough
at Congressional, on account of the
course being so long, and so on.
But they forgot that to play good
golf you have to hit the fairway
part of the time and that playing
from the rough isn’t easy.
And they also overlooked the fact
that Gene doesn’t know much about
the rough. He never has gotten ac
quainted with it, for he sticks to the
: middle of the fairway too much.
So little Gene from Texas has
been taking the lads in stride out
there at Congressional, where he’s
ranked as one of the toughest of
’em all. But Roger Peacock, to him,
is a bodark stump. “How come a
bodark stump?’’ we asked Gene.
‘‘Well, down in Texas,” he grinned,
“they have trees so tough you can’t
do anything with ’em. You can’t
burn ’em, you can’t plow ’em up and
you can’t chop ’em to pieces. That’s
how tough that Peacock guy is; just
an old bodark stump.”
Gene himself will be a
“bodark stump” for a flock of
our better amateurs when tour
nament time rolls around next
Spring.
CARROLL DALY, who rose to
fame at Convention Hall in
1931 as the only bowler ever
to sweep the alleys for five
consecutive strikes in a single game In
a District League match, blazed away
at the maples for top set in the Fed
eral League last night at the Arcadia.
The veteran maple-buster, who, the
following season capped his rolling
with a 679 that crowned him The Star
Yuletide tournament champion, rattled
off strings of 134, 135 and 140 for a
408 total to feature Navy Depart
ment’s three-game victory over P. W.
A. This lifted Navy right into the
middle of the battle for third place.
Aided by Frank Ontrich’s 364, Navy
counted 592—1,727.
Veterans’ Administration was
carried down the line when the
champion National Capital
Parks rifled big teams scores
with 656 and 1,804.
Mark Raspberry led the heavy
charging with 147—398, while Johnny
Compton’s 155—393 and George Mil
ler's 151—372 were instrumental in
the rout of the former doughboys.
For the second straight week Jimmy
Cavanaugh fired the high game, get
ting 162 in the only skirmish War De
partment could win from I. B. E. W.,
No. 121. Looks like United States is in
second place to stay. A 2-1 win from
Labor held the balance of the league
at bay. Bill Pryor led with 148—365.
Although giving the pace-setting
Bureau of Investigation a six-pin
handicap, the crack Government
Printing Office team came through
with the last two games, chalking up
counts of 601 and 617 after the G-Men
had won the opener with 633.
Wally Burton’s 149—363 was tops.
But Astor Clarke, the Sleuths’
ace shooter, won all the marbles
when he shot 397, which tilted
his average to 124.
'T'HE Oldtimers were in line fettle In
the Kilowatt League, registering
a 2-1 win from Meter No. 1 with high
team scores of 568—1,626. Odie
Brown of Station Engineers captured
individual honors with 137—375 to
top off an odd-game win from Readers.
Other matches resulted in Schedule
winning two from the first-place Sales
and Treasurers taking two from Dis
tribution Engineers.
Zurlo’s season marks of 150 and 369
had a close call in the American Fed
eration of Government Employes’
League at Lucky Strike, when La Rue
Tanner, the loop’s secretary, shot 146
and Bill Gleeson’s 368 was only a pin
away. Labor Lodge, No. 12, rollers
piled up 550 and 1,600 for the best
team counts.
r
MATCHEDON MAT
Fans Who Like Rough Stuff
Likely to Be Appeased by
Thursday Show.
Grappling addicts who like a
minimum of wrestling and
much villainy and show
manship apparently will be
appeased Thursday night at Turner's
Arena, when Laverne Baxter and
Stanley Pinto tangle in a 30-minute
preliminary to the feature match in
volving Ernie Dusek and John Katan.
It was Baxter who last week set a
new season high for viciousness in
local mat circles, when, after being
thrown by Abie Coleman, he went
slightly screwy and tried to toss every
thing within reach at Abie's stocky
frame. Ringside spectators, police,
handlers and referees all took swings
at Baxter’s jaw in the 5-minute melee,
but it was Coleman himself who ter
minated the post-bout activities with
a solid right to Laveme's Jutting jaw.
Pinto a Test for Youngster.
JJINTO, a veteran villain, figures to
test the showmanship of the com
paratively youthful Baxter. Stanley
always has aroused Washington’s
cauliflower colony, which is likely to
establish a new high for booing and
pitching peanuts during the match.
In one of three other supporting
preliminaries Jack Kennedy, the last
wrestler developed by the late Farmer
Burns, will face Floyd Marshall in a
30-minute tussle. Kennedy, recently
returned from invasions of Australia
and New Zealand, was rated highly by
Burns, who developed such champions
as Earl Caddock and Joe Stecher.
