O’BRIEN MAKES WINTER TOUR BUT MISSES HEADLINES By Jack Tucker Expressing keen resentment and not a little scorn, Raymond Joseph O’Brien, the tanned and handsome traveler from the wilds of Westchester, yesterday took violent exception in no un certain terms — to borrow a cliche—to a story appearing in this pillar of light and wisdom on Thursday. It appears that the name of Mr. O’Brien, by a horrible hap penstance, was not included in the list of those who were con ceded a chance of winning the North and South Amateur golf championship. “They all were there,” com plained Mr. O’B. bitterly. “Stra faci, Thompson, Dunkelberger, and the other young whipper snappers. But where was the Old Guard? Where was Joe Doakes? Where was O’Brien?” The wishful thinker from Westchester was not entirely without basis for his stand. Un der the pseudonym of Arbutus Q. Seldom Does, he is the well known author of the analytical best-sellers entitled: “Why Hit Them So Hard They Curve?,” and “Golf, It Stinks — But I Love It.” “For years,” complained the author, holding a two-inch putt with the greatest of ease, “I have been shooting 75’s on courses from Maine to sunny Cal, and where does it get me? I’ll tell you where it gets me. It gets me an agate line of type in the paper next morning read ing, ‘Among others eliminated in the first round was R. 0* Brien, Westchester, who, al though he was only three over par lost by 5 and 4 to an un known Slippery Rock freshman named ^.ngus Honks Jr.” This Condition has been ex tant since early duimg the win ter, when Mr. O’Brien, armed with a wad of traveler’s cheques and a burning ambition to prove that even a working broker can become a good golfer, set forth on the winter circuit with the touring pros. California, Texas, Louisiana and Florida—they all saw Mr. O’B. in action. He was the big portly gent swinging away re lentlessly at the aggravating ag ate, nearly always busting 80 but never cracking the headlines. Not when Byron Nelson or S. J. Snead or Benjamin Hogan were treating 70 with the great est of contempt. Nevertheless, the large man from Westchester kept plugging away and invariably finished well up with the leading ama teurs. And now ... after part ing with some $3,000 in "expense dough ... he finds that, after all, the first 18 holes are the toughest and the 19th is still a pushover. I “I plan to go back to my books and the fireside,” said Mr. O’ Brien, casually breaking a mash ie in two. After all, old friends are the best.” Ed. Note. Mr. O’B’s score in qualifying for North and South Amateur was ? f PINEHURST POLO TEAM EDGES OUT RAMBLERS IN SMART EXHIBITION Another Large Crowd Witnesses Victory of Locals, 6-5vSunday; Blues Play Yellows Thursday. The Pinehurst - Ramblers polo game on the No. field Sunday afternoon was one of the finest exhibitions of the sport witness ed in Pinehurst as a home-club contest. Pinehurst won, 6-5, for the ninth consecutive victory. Bax ter R. Brown carded three goals for the winning side, singles go ing to Lieut. Graham, Bucky Green and Merrill Fink. James Murray carded two for the Ramblers, with Henry Gibson Barnard Jr., Capt. Dave Erskine and Lieut. T. G. Bilboe, each scoring one for the Ramblers. The score was five all at the end of the sixth period. The teams decided to play it off, to end the game when a goal was scored. After two minutes of play, Merrill Fink, No. 3 for Pinehurst, maiftiged to drive one straight toward the goal. The ball hit a goal post and bounced back into play. Fink followed it up and put it through for the winning point. f A large crowd attended the game. On Thursday afternoon the Blues will play the Yellows • on the No. 2 field. Mercer Hicks, a member of the Blind Brook polo team, making his initial ap pearance in the Pinehurst games, will play No. 2. for the Blues. Green will play No. 1, Mickey Walsh 3 and Brown 4 to complete the Blue foursome.
