Nothing short of a tremendous appetite for the dessert they love could have attracted as many players as turned out at the Westchester Country Club yesterday for the annual invitation tournament. New Jersey's amateur champion, F. Paul Anderson was the 157th man to leave the first tee.

By W. C.

Uncanny always had an edge on the speed of Renaissance, which the latter does not relish, as he likes to race In front at all times. Uncanny, racing next to the rail throughout, earned the judges' decision by a trifle more than a neck.

INTERLOCK! MG LEFT HAWO CM TOP CO MTftOL- SAME POT. SHORT prrcH By JOE GLASS The lecent successes of Gene Sarazen will call attention again to the way in which he grips his clubs. Almost all the great stars use the overlapping grip, but Gene uses the interlocking. His belief is that it adds to the amount of leverage he obtains through giving him better control of his club.

It may be that this is true for Gene. His hands are short and pudgy, very different, for instance, from those of Tommy Armour. There used to be a supposition that Gene used the interlocking grip only on long shots, switching to the overlapping for the shorter and more delicate ones. This Is not the case, however, for he uses the same grip right down to the most delicate chip-shots. If you have hands like Gene's, the interlocking grip may be of value to you.

And, if his case proves anything, it is that the interlocking is good for the whole gamut of shots. Note his left hand well on top of the shaft in the sketch. This aids control (This is one of a series of articles in which Joe Glass analyzes Gene Sarazcn's sound golf form.) The correct cqjp fnr hnldin? a club means distance to your drive.

Under the proposition of the State, there has bccn sBned by the Topographical Bureau of the Borough President's office an extension of Grand Cen tral Parkway to the north of about seven miles in length to meet the Tri-Borough Bridge.

Also an extension along the north edge of Forest Park of about three miles and a southerly extension of Southern State Parkway over Laurelton Boulevard and Sunrise Highway to the Brooklyn line of about eight miles. All three of these extensions are designed so that no street will cross the artery at grade and thus interfere with the steady flow of traffic. "The Long Island Park Commission has provided for the extension to the east of both Northern and Southern State Parkways into Nassau County and a connection between the two called "Sagtikos" Parkway. When these parkways and the parkways projected in Queens are finished, it will be possible for a motorist to drive for more than 100 miles without a single stop caused by intersecting traffic. "With the approval of President George U.

Harvey, the Topographical Bureau has at the present time under consideration the designs of more than 40 grade separations within the Borough of Queens to relieve this congestion While it is not possible to build all of them yet, one that of Sunrise Highway over Rockaway Boulevard has already been completed and is open to traffic. A temporary crossing has been built over Sunrise Highway at Woodhaven Boulevard; three crossings Union Turnpike, Nassau Boulevard and Woodhaven Boule- vara are being constructed in Queens Boulevard, and authority has been asked to construct a fourth in Queens Boulevard at Grand St. The construction of other erossinas will be asked for as rapidly as the financial condition of the city will permit."

And Old Alex pitches in every game. "We've played 90 games so far," he calculated yesterday, "and I've worked in D8 of them. Pitch one or two or sometimes three innings." "Pretty tough," we suggested, scenting a sentimental story. All about the fallen World Series hero who had fanned Lazzeri in the pinch, you know. "Not at all." he beamed.

"This is what I like. No pennants to worry about, no bawlings out to take from managers if somebody doesn't hit in the pinch. And the pay is great. Every minor league in the country has made me an offer, but not one of them has come within half of what this club is paying." "This is the only tough part," cut in Mrs. Alexander, young and pretty, and waving a fat sandwich.

"We didn't get home here from the unmo in mpt irnpn fm .1 lasr mrrnr until 3 this morning, and we never can have very regular meals." "But we don't mind," objected Alex. "The jumps are easy.

Especially," he added, "for Bill Doan, the fellow who has run this House of David bunch for 14 years.

Doan would like to play ball himself, but he can't even hold a good game of catch. So he does the next nearest thing and runs this team." "But you have no beard," I suggested. "I thought "A million people ask me that," sighed Alex. "It's gotten so now that I carry a fake beard in my hip pocket and pull it out to show the bleacher bugs when they start shouting about my clean-shaven face. But I never would wear one.

That was the stipulation under which I signed." "But if you had a chance you'd like to get away from it all now, wouldn't you?" I askei. "It's quite a strain, with all the traveling, isn't it?"

stages a fine tournament. That had a lot to do with the horde bf entrants. But that total of 2uu carries further implication than merely the popularity of a tournament. It's concrete evidence of one of two things. Either the amateurs have nothing else to do but play golf, or they are tournament hungry.

And these times being what they are our guess is that the craving for play was the basic reason for the turnout. Little wonder. There hasn't been an amateur invitation tournament this year since the affair at the Garden City Golf Club back in early May. The dark forebodings of the Winter caused the curtailing of many clubs' competitions. They feared too heavy a drain on the purses and decided that one way of shaving down expenses was to cut out tournaments which, no doubt, do cosfmoney.

Obviously all this fear was not entirely sound. The men who support the game want competition. The Westchester C. C. decided to give it to them.

The result was the largest field this tournament has ever known. A commentator on golf frequently finds it necessary to chide the ama- tours for their inability to play the so-called "card and pencil" game, better known as medal play. It has been illustrated that they can score in streaks but not steadily. The majority manage to ball up just enough holes in the round to send their 18-hole totals zooming far out of relationship with the sort of golf they are capable of playing. However, there's one lad who knows this medal play game.

He's Sidney Noyes. Noyes won the medal yesterday. That's not strange for he won it last year and also the year before that. He was one of the best scorers in the Intercollegiate championship. He was, we think, second low amateur in the Metropolitan open at Lido.

And his medal winning scores are not merely the best among those against whom he plays, but they are genuinely good scores Yesterday he had a 72, even par. Sidney, a six-footer, as serious as they come, and even more quiet than that, has the gift for medal play golf. Has two great capabilities. He can concentrate. He can save charged, the youths filled the tank of the plane with 15 gallons of fuel and attempted to fly it away.

The trip came to a sudden end when the machine crashed in to the stone foundation of a house under construction. All six youths denied that they had been at the air field. Two men and a woman testified they heard the crash and saw the six running from the field. They and De Pollier gave chase in an automoble and caught the defendants three away. The youths said that they had driven to the Springfield section with another man and woman in an automobile.

There was a quarrel, they claimed, and they got out of the machine, deciding to return home by train. Youth Convicted As Jackson Hts. Lobby Burglar With the jailing of Edward T. Higgins, 25, police of the Newtown Precinct believe they have brought an end to numerous petty thefts in lobbies and hallways of apartments in Jackson Heights during the past few months. Higgins, who has been making his home in hotels and lodging houses, was sentenced to the Workhouse for 30 days after Justices Kernochan, Walling and Caldwell in the Court of Special Sessions found him guilty on a petty larceny complaint.

Higgins said he Is a clerk by trade but has been unemployed for some months. Patrolman Michael Dee-gan of the Newtown Precinct, who arrested Higgins, told the court that the theft, was similar to a large number of others committed in the section. Foreclosed Clubroom Still Houses Meetings Valley Stream, L.

He said he is eagerly seeking a buyer but so far jhas found none.

tainments, are the backbone of the play of the best scorer among the proiessionaU. It takes a really bad break to pile up a big score against Sidney. You see, he's careful. He doesn't play haphazard golf. He doesn't walk up to a shot wondering what he intends doing.

He makes up his miud what shot to play and then hits the ball. What errors he makes are principally mechanical as are those of the Sarazens, the Joneses and Hagens. He doesn't allow himself to be foggy about what he intends doing, a fault altogether too conspicuous among the ordinary amateurs. Sidney Noyes doesn't get anywhere in the match play struggles not, at least, since he outgrew the junior circles in which he was a most consistent winner. Noyes hasn't attuned himself to the freakish gambling "all or nothing" type that prevails in the match play stuff.

Sidney isn't a Jones. Not yet. But he at least has attained one end. He can fix his mind on the task at hand and keep it there. Just what this medal play game means can be best illustrated bji Maurice McCarthy's play this year.

Maurice's forte used to be scoring. It was, as long as he kept his hand in at competition. He told me at Beverly last year that he had nlaved so little tournament rolf prior to the national amateur championship that he felt almost a novice. He played like one at moments, though he managed to pull himself together in the pinches and win enough matches to reach the semi-finals. After the Beverly meeting Maurice turned his mind back to copper and weekend golf only.

As a result this has been a tough season for McCarthy. He hasn't worked himself back to the stage where he can bear down and keep pressing. All sorts of little things which would once pass by unnoticed, now distract his mind from the business of playing golf. His strokes have also suffered from lack of play. Johnny Parker, runner-up for the Metropolitan amateur championship, is another who is having a tough time scoring.

McCarthy managed to make the grade. Parker didn't only because he made little slips here and there. He needs more competition. He has not yet had real experience. Counties Plan Horseshoe Title Contest At Jones Beach First Metropolitan Area.

Match on L. I. Listed Aug. 6 at Park Courts Two athletic events of major importance will be held at Jones Beach State Park during August. The Metropolitan Horshoe Pitchini Championships will be held in th park on Saturday, Aug.

6. Champions from the entire metropolitan area have signified their intention of competing. About three years ago the Long Island State Park Commission built horseshoe pitching courts in several of the State parks in Nassau and Suffolk counties. These courts have attracted a constantly increasing number of enthusiasts and hav contributed largely to th comeback which has been staged in the art of horseshoe pitching. This is the first year that the metropolitan horseshoe championships have come to Long Island.

On Aug. 16 the Atlantic Coast Life Guard Tournament will be held in Jones Beach State Park. From present indication many of the best life guards from New Jersey and New England will compete with the champioas from Jones Beach, Long Beach and the Rockaways. The life guards' tournament will offer the spectators a novel and exciting series of spectacular competitive events. These events will be held on the beach in the after noon and in the pool in the evening.

In accordance with the policies of the Long Island State Park Commission, no charge will be made to view these events. Women's Swim in September In addition to t.he August activities, the National Long Island Distance Women's Swim will also be held in Jones Beach State Park in September.

"Watch the big league ball games," I guessed. He laughed. "Do you know," he said, "that I haven't seen a big league game this year. The Yanks are in town now, but I don't care about anything but the National League. And I wouldn't even go to see one of those." "I can't enjoy watching a game," explained Alex.

"I've got to be in it, or on the bench at least. I can't stand this sitting around in the grandstand." "I play in most every game, he went on, "pitching, pinch-hitting or playing the outfield.

4 Persons Hurt In 4-Car Crash on Sunrise Highway West Bound Cars Collide in Turn When Islip Man Slops Auto Suddenly Four persons were injured at midnight last night in a four-car rear-end collision at the Sunrise Highway and Deer Aqueduct, when Theodore Sanford of 319 Main Islip, L. stopped his auto suddenly on a red light. The automobiles driven by Eugene Stein of 318 Rutland Road, Irving Shapiro of 486 Eastern Parkway, and John J. Rose of 998 Putnam all of Brooklyn, collided in turn, one after the other. All the automobiles were westbound on the Sunrise Highway.

Julia Stern, 44, of the Rutland Road address, received a sprained back and with her companion, Esther Stein, 45, of the same address, who received lacerations and shock, both occupants in the Stern auto, was taken to Jamaica Hospital.

Wiener, speaking for the three members of that court in Queens Borough yesterday, stated that no additional would be needed In greater New York, and the congested court calendars could be quickly clcm'cd, if the plan suggested by Municipal Court Justice J. Morris Jr. was carried cut.

Justice Wiener said that he had conferred with his two colleagues, Justice Edward Kelly and Justice William B.

He said at the present time these same courts are about three years behind. 'Would Mean no Extra Burden' "If magistrates are permitted to try cases involving small sums, instead of taking these cases into the municipal court, the latter could hear cases up to $2,000. and the City Court up to $5,000, thus relieving the wok of nie Supreme Court and placing no extra burden upon any of the lower courts," said Justice Wiener.

"We agree with Justice Morris that too much time is wasted with trivial cases, such as summonses for minor automobile violations. Too many persons are compelled to lose a day's work in court waiting for these minor cases to be called i and then pay a very small fine. 'Mailing Would Speed Work' "If these fines could be sent by mail it would relieve the work of the magistrate and save a day's annoyance for the person summoned to court.
