TWIT IT, HOT From List of Finest Courses By TRKVOR. LEO DIKGEL Burely started something when he attempted to rank the 15 finest golf courses In America. Nothing bashful about Leo. Like Alexunder the Great, Diegel lan't afraid to cover plenty of ter IT AMD BftlAJtS- "WAT ritory. Most golf critics would fight shy of trying to rate even the Eastern courses, but Leo doesn't let a little thing like the Appalachian Mountains stop him nor the Rockies either, for that matter.

At least you can way for Diegel that he doesn't slavishly follow precedent by picking the courses of more or less national renown. Dlegel's selections have the autre of originality. Kew In the Metropolitan District have ever even heard of Laurel, Mississippi; Burning Tree, Washington, D. Gulf Stream, Florida, or Lambton, Canada. We'll have to take Leo's word for It that they're the birdie's eyebrows.

Diesel's ideas as to what constitutes a great golf course don't coincide very closely with Bernard Darwin's. The eminent nephew of the gent who proved to the satisfaction of every one but Dill Bryan's Fundamental PE FRESHMEN on the list because I feel that it should not be left out altogether. I hated to do this because some might think I was prejudiced In Its favor because I won my open championship here. It Is a Una test of the game and the last six holes are excellent finishing holes. "No, I am nota picking any Florida course' on tha list despite the fact that I think a lot of Florida links.

There are some good I have never had the pleasure of playing over Gulf Stream so I can't include that one. There are fine courses in the South, and many of them. There will be more good ones later on. My list speaks for Itself and I present It for Just what It is worth. Others may differ with me but this Is my Idea: 1.

Hazlet, Former British Walker Cup Player, Wins With 158. Sandwich. Entlund, May 15 (P) British llnksmen today successfully turned back the first thrust of America's invading Walker Cup team with a victory by y. o. liczlel in the St.

George vase tournament, world famous medal test for amateur pinyers. With a card of 15S for the 36-holc competition, the sturdy British veteran staved off the threat of George Von Elm. California member of the American bum, who finished In tie for se.vmd place at 16 with Robert Harris, the British amateur champion. For a time it appeared that Von Elm might duplicate Oiiitnet'g feat of 1 923 In win. nlng thn cup, hut llejbt saved the day for Great Britain after her strongest hopes In thi event Ind been outstroked by the Invader Ouuiiel also made a sensational closing bid the prhe will, a bril-bant .9 In the afternoon, but nn 85 for the morning round earned him no better than a tie for fifth place with Cyril Tolley.

Von Elm's stroking stood out ss one nf the most note, worthy accomplishments of an American player in Mils country.

I'ndouhtedty the Pacific Couei numbers some of the most spetacular layouts, from scenic potnt of view, to be found In all America. California offers a combination of mountain and ocean scenery which no other section ol' the countrv'can match.

It Is interesting to note that Espinnsa includes Inwood and Garden City In his ranking. Ho could hardly have seen Lido or he would have made room for Ilaynor'a magical creation. Raynor fashioned a gorgeous golf links out of a dnnk morass of shifting quicksand. Espinnsa speaking: "The golfer in the West is not in exact harmony with his Eastern brother because of many things. There Is not enough tournament play Ui bring the California imd the Pacific Coast amateur and pro in contact with the New York and Philadelphia amateur and pro.

"I have seen a lot of the West and I have In the last two years seen considerable of the East and the South. Naturally. In selecting golf courses that stand out. I am going to pick those that I have played. Several boys In the Eastern district pick courses around the Metropolitan District, where they are very good, I will admit, but the West Is not as far behind In regard to golf courses r.s one might Imsgine.

I will grant rov readers that this was true ten or 12 years ago, but It Is not true to-dnv. "My first choice of a golf course the Lnkeslde course at San Francisco.

and one need never expect to see better one. Boh O'LInk Is next on the list, and then I would pick the Sun Francisco Golf Club. After this I will agree with others that Oakmont la entitled to a lot of praise. Inwood end Garden City are the tw, best In the Metropolitan District. 1 lakeside.

II I I I i 1 I A nun ists that men sprang front monkeys! selected Pine Valley, Lido and the National as America's three best golf links.

Darwin called Pine Val ley the hardest course in the world, Lido the most beautifully conceived of ail courses ami the National the lleasagtcst laf'iu to play. Diegel DoFMtTt Kven Mention Hie National. DIEGEL placeWTirte Valley third, while relegating Lido to sixth pluce. We haven't seen either the Laurel coume or the Burning Tree layout, so we arfti't In any position to scoff at Leo's choices. Of the Long Island courses he has seen.

Diegel prefers Lido and Lakeville. For the famous National Links he finds no place at all. We can picture the expression on Charley Mac-donald's rubicund face when he notes this momentous omission. The mere fact that Diegel ignores the existence of Southampton's remark-it l)le seaside links is enough to stamp Leo's H.t as unauthoritative. Nobody con leave out the National Links from nny ranking of the six best AmerlcaQ courses and expect us to take any stock In his judgment.

At all events, Dlegel's ranking got a rise out of some of his contemporaries. Gene Sarazen quickly took up the cudgels in behalf of Oakmont, that glorious layout which has so often made golf history. Apparent, ly Diegel has never heard of Oakmont either. For his sake wo hope that Bill Fownes doesn't lamp Loo's list. Can't you see Bill's, silver b'cks standing on end when he notes tht Oakmont doesn't appear among Diegel's 15 best courses? Dirgcl's Oilsolins Make Ills List Ridiculous.

IF Diegel sought to make himself ridiculous he couldn't have chosen a better way than by omitting masterpieces such as Oakmont and the National from his list. Inwood. too. be condemns to oblivion. I'rcxy steiner, plcltse take notice: The man who "puts I he world to sleep" must have torn Itis silk pyglcs In chagrin when he looked vainly for Inwood In Dlegel's ranking.

Gene Sarazen, we feel, comes much nearer the mark when he rates Oakmont. IMne Volley, Lido, National. Merlon. Olympia, Inwood and Oakland Hills as his "big eight." That's an Intelligent ranking. evn discounting the fact that G1rie may entert.iin a sentimental affection for Oakmont because of his 1 922 victory In the I'.

G. A. champlniisMp. We note that Gene squeezes Kkokle into his list ut number 12. It's only human nature to think welt of a course which trented you kindly.

Sarar.an can't forget that Skokie provided the background for his rls to the pinnacle. We could nfline hundred better layouts. Similarly. Diegel can't overlook his success at Burning Tree. F'lnp Valley I'nsnllml for lisniiloiililp.

Says IMogcl. REG All DING fine Valley Dlegil says: "Another course Hint nlways mentioned first Is Tine V. ley. It Is very good, but on account of the fact that It Mould not be suitable for a gallery In a championship match I cannot give It better than third place."

"This Is the Burning Tree course at Washington, one can find real golf here amid Ideal surroundings. Htar fcolfers who have had the pleasure of a round of golf on this course praise it highly.

Jf eter a big championship was played there It aoulil become established as one of the best," I low the 1.1 IIpM G.dr CiMirspo, Taking a crack at In. gel a lions.

o- Cyrll Walker Puts National Links nn Top. WHEREUPON Cyril Walker enters the list with a ranking that knocks the tar out of Dlegel's. Cyril may emulate a crali on the links, but there Is nothing slow about his thinking processes. Walker's arguments follow: "In listing the best golf courses In the United States I will unhesitatingly pick the National Links as No. 1, as I consider that It possesses more good points than any of the other courses I have played.

The first point is that It Is always in good condition, and this meajis a lot. "Pine Valley Is a fine golf course and rates- very high but It Is not the equal of the National In many respects. Pine Valley is not a course fur a championship for the simple reason that It Is not suited to a large gallery. Others pick Lido, but I will not Include It In my list. "Oakmont at Pittsburgh Is ona of the best courses to be found anywhere In the land.

There Is a rumor Eolng around that the open championship will he played there next year and I for one will be glad, ss I regard It as a very fine test and really better suited for a big championship than the National, which Is Inaccessible. The amateur championship has been held there twice and the P. G. A. held their there once, so It has sacn all of the best golfers.

"As I won the, open at Oakland Hills It mould not be right to leave It out of consideration, It Is a very fine course In many ways, but I would place Inwood ahead of It on my list. Inwood has stood the test of time and Herbert Strong 'ran well feel proud of his masterpiece. Dlegrl Tli inks 40(1 Yards Kuril length for Holes. (fTIIKIIK are several points to he 1 considered In golf course con. structlon.

A course can easily be overdone. It Is the wise architect who knows Just where to stop. A courve must be so constructed that It Is not difficult to keep In shape. One Important essential Is length, but length must be proportioned Just right. A hole ran be too long and It can be too short.

Holes that are about to 440 make the best par fours. "A par five hole Is uninteresting If one seeks a par only as the average duffer can miss his drive and still have a chance to get a par. The par six doesn't really exist, ss a hole this length more than 00 yards Is not a aood golf hole. "Short holes should be Well trapped and not under I2S yards In length. Two hole about this length or little longer and two holes which measure around 500 to SJo yards make a combination of short holes that are Just about right.

"Many golfers have not heard of the tnailv fine courses In the West and South. I regard the Battle t'reek course ss ona nf the best, and another fine one la tha Mobile Countrv t'luh. Mv list Is as follows: I. Nstlonsl. Southampton.
