LEO DIEGEL GOING SOME Will Be a Sure Starter in North and South In a letter received recently from Leo Diegel, the Chicago Pro who took first money in the Open tournament at Pine hurst in November, and Avho is now so journing on the Pacific coast, Leo says he has struck his real game, ami from the attested cards he sent he seems to be hanging up some new records for golfers to shoot at. " While playing at Pasadena recently with Mr. Perrin, president of the Reserve Batik of San Francisco," Diegel said, "I got into a streak of good golf and shot a 63, and playing with the same gentleman yesterday I shot a 67, which gave me a total of 130 for the two rounds which ought to be close to a rec ord. "A couple of weeks ago I played the Wilshire course, ' ' said Diegel, ' ' which is considered the hardest course on the coast. The old record was 74 and I made a 69 with 3 putts on the last green from 12 feet. Charlie Mays and I played John Black and Willie Lock at San Francisco last week and beat them 4 and 3 in a 36-hole match. "Eddie Loos and I defeated Paul Hunter and E. S. Armstrong in an 18 hole exhibition match On Sunday last. I have discarded my center-shafted putter and am using a goose-neck putter. "You can tell them all that I 'will be a sure starter in the North 'arid 'South this spring. ' ' By E. A. Denham When Jim Barnes was at Pinehurst a short time ago one of his opponents in a professional four ball affair was credited in the newspapers with a 67 which in cluded two approximations. This started Barnes off and he instanced a number of well-known cases where the concession of even a two-foot putt would have reversed the result of an important match. Fi nally he came across with a suggestion that merits . serious consideration even if it has its weak spots. Barnes proposed that in all four-ball matches where conceded putts or ap proximated holes are more or less com mon, medal scores should be computed by charging up one stroke for each unplayed putt of two feet or less; two strokes for one over two feet but under twenty; and three strokes for any over twenty feet. But that no putt, no matter how short, should be conceded, unless the player had .already been charged up with two or more strokes for a longer one that had been left unplayed. This rule, Barnes argued, would be fair to everyone if consistently applied. "Suppose Walter Hagen had been playing in a four-ball match on April 1st, last Spring," said Barnes, "instead of in the last round of the North and South Open, and had picked up on the edge of the sand, at the eighteenth. What would he have been charged with for the un played putt, ordinarily?" The unani mous answer was "Two of course." "Exactly," quoth Jim, "and instead of sinking the putt and winning the title, or taking two and tying McLeod for it, he took three and lost out. Under my plan, in that suppositious four-ball match, he'd have been charged with the three putts he actually took in the tournament." There is a lot to be said in favor of Barnes' rather hard-hearted suggestion. In the absence of any generally recog nized rules governing approximations, most scorers will hesitate to chalk up two strokes against a first-class golfer for an unplayed putt of even five or six feet. And they are still more reluctant to charge up more than a single stroke for a putt that in their private opinion might easily have been missed but which has been conceded by the player's opponents. AT THE GUN CLUB There will be a weekly handicap target tournament at the Gun Club every Tues day if there are five entries or more, for a sterling trophy, Ideal Leggett traps. Bird handicap. The handicap is limited to twenty birds. A sterling trophy will be given for the four best scores made each month during the months of Janu ary, February and March, in the weekly handicap tournaments from 16 yards at 400 targets.
