Grabs one-Shot Lead With
Stirring Finish After
i Touring the Rough ::
: By PAUL R. MICHELSON
INVERNESS CLUB. Toledo.
July 2 (AP) George Von Elm,
sore thumb end all, stormed orer
no man's land of rugged old In
verness with one of the wildest
finishes the golfing world erer
saw today to snatch a one-shot
lead in the bitter fight' for the
National open championship.
- Rated as 'only 'one of the mild
threats when he finished the out
ward nine of his second 18-hole
round, the lion-hearted Prussian
lipped np the backward stretch
with an astonishing 22, four un
der par, a great finish which
netted him a second round of C9
and a 26 hole total of 144, one
better than Eddie Williams of
Clereland "and Blllle Burke ' of
Greenwich, Conn., who ' looked
like certain pace setters at' the
half way mark of the 72-tiole
medal . battle, until - he came
rambling home. ...;.;.
- Von ' Elm's -performance' was
the . high spot in a wild day,
which saw all of yesterday's dark
horses stay In the big show, the
almost - failure of the . famous
Tommy Armour - to Qualify, a
hole-ln-one by . Leo "Dlegel, and
the final fadeont of the last for
eign threats for the eoreted title
seated by the retirement : of
Bobby Jones. Too, it made Von
Elm;, the business golfer, who
has won a big share of the mon
ey tournaments this year, a big
favorite to capture a crown that
has always escaped his eager
graspv - ij..
Starts Four Strokes
Behind Dark Horse
Seriously handicapped by
sore thumb, Von Elm started out
today with about the same kind
of golf that gave him a 75 yes
terday and sent him, along with
12 " others, four strokes away
from the par-shooting leaders of
the first 18-hole round. :
He hammered out pars on the
first four holes and then got
tangled with the rough for a fire
on the par four hole. lie clicked
off pars on the next two holes
but -his hopes sank on the 210
yard ' eighth when he required
fire shots for the par three hole.
He bagged a birdie on the par
five ninth to make the turn In
87, two over par. i
Most of the' gallery left the
Prussian there to see a good
player shoot. So George started
to giro the loyal their money's
worth. He sailed his second ten
feet from the pin on the tenth
Lto bag a birdie three and then
slipped In the rough to get a five
on the par four eleventh. He
cored a par on the next and
then his dramatic skit of golf be-
Lgan in earnest. He snared a
aeuce on tne mineentn, a oiraie
three on the sixteenth, a par n
the seventeenth and a birdie
three on the final green.
