TOWN AND COUNTRY GOLF EVENT STARTS hington first golf tourney of the season—the third annual invita- | tion event of the Town and Country Club—got under way this morning, with the first half of a two-day qual- ifying round, Today and tomorrow will be given over to qualifying the small field that has entered the tournament. Town and Country Club officials pre- pared for a large field, and are dis- appointed because the entries are hardly enough to fill four flights. Notwithstanding the paucity of entries, however, the field makes up in class what it lacks in numbers, for many of the players are num- bered among the best around Wash- ington. The tourney is open only to club members and especially invited guests, » Match play will get under way Friday morning and continue through aturday afternoon, when the final round in all flights is scheduled for settlement, Long-distance _telephone tions between Robert T. Jones, jr., in Atlanta, and Fred D. Paxton, chairman of the golf committee at the Washington Golf and Country Club, and Al Day, manager of the Congressional Country Club, straight- out the misundersianding regarding the playing engagement of the ama- teur champion over the week end. As a result of the conversation, Jones will pair with Watts Gunn, runner-up in the amateur champion- ship, against Roland R. MacKenzie and Miller B.

C, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28. 1926. — %e @hmmg 5ta1‘ 2 BOYS Conducted by ROBERT C. McCLELLAN CLUB ~ HIS is Wednesday. We'll start preparing now, and on Satur- ] day we'll have a new base ball stunt. Here's the program: base ball pentathlon. Saturday is May Day. Let the lit- tle girls dance around the May poles in their pretty curls and bright rib- bonms, but let us gather out on the base ball diamond apd have some real sport. This base ball pentathion will have to eonsist of five events, e it wouldn't be a pentathlon. We'll split it up so that it will be a test of each boy's allaround ability. The events will be: 1. Fastest time between home plate and first base. 2. Pitching control; who can throw most strikes in nine attempts. 3. Who can hit the longest fungo. 4. Who can throw the ball farthest. 5. Fastest time around the four bases. Now, if we don't get an older fellow or two to officiate, we may have some arguments over the timing and meas- uring, because every fellow wants to win, naturally. 8o round up an older brother, or your uncle or dad, or, if they are too busy, coax your grandpa to come out. In circling the bases you must start with foot on plate and touch each e base, but you don't have to cut them square or stay directly in the base line. The sketch illustrates this point. The timer should have a stop watch, but if he hasn’'t he'll just have to watch the seconds very closely Let the official be the umpire in the ball and strike event. Have an ordi- nary sized boy stand at plate—as though he were a batter—for each contestant—don’t change off. A fungo is a fly ball hit as you toss the ball in the al That's the program to send in the winners Don't forget Of course, you remember how to score in the pentathlon. The boy tin ishing first in each event gets one point, the boy finishing second two, third three, and so on in each event. At the end of the competition the score of each boy is added and the one with the lowest number of points wins. Jim Thorpe won the pentathlon in the 1912 Olympics with five points. He was first in each event. HOFF APPEARS DUE FOR A. A. U.

When Pitching With Runners on NOT < e THS THIS With a runner on first or second the pitcher faces a different prob lem than when no runners are on base. He has to keep these base runners close to thelr bags or they will steal on him. That prohibits him using a wind-up and, conse- quently, changes his stance. In o der to pitch as effectivel as when he uses a wind-up he takes his po- sition with his rear foot on the rub- ber and his forward foot advanced, with his back toward first base, if he is a right-hand pitcher. That enables him to shorten his swing and also to watch the bases so the runners cannot take too great a lead. The correct stance is shown in the illustration on the left. With a runner on first or second he should not use the stance pictured on ‘the right. That is the one he uses when he can employ his entire wind-up in making his deliver: by WOMEN IN SPORT Y CORINNE FRAZIER W than 80 girls are competing.

In addition to the individual awards, the player who wins the title will add 5 points to her class total for the athletic trophy which is presented each vear to the class winning the highest honors in all branches of sport. The Senior class now fs points ahead of the Sophmores. There is a strong chance that the Seniors will increase their lead by adding tennis laurels to their crown, but the Sophs are expected to make a brilliant showing in the track meet, the next event of jmportance on the calendar. May 12 has been set as the date for the annual meet elle Meyers, physical director in charge of the affair, reports 160 entries and an abundance of enthusiasm Elimination tryouts will be held next Monday. Entry lists closed yes- terday. Those who qualify next week will have several additional workouts pefore the day of the meet. The list of events has been an- nounced by Miss Meyers. No girl may enter more than four events. The list includes running broad jump, high jump (for height and form). German_ horse, ring vault, basket ball throw for distance, goal throw and interclass relays It was decided unanimously at a meeting of the local branch of the women'’s division, National Amateur Athletic Federation, held last night at the Jewish Community Center, to advocate a limitation of individual entries for women in track and field meets. A motion was carried to the affect that all physical directors connected with the N. A. A. F. or- ganization would limit the number of events in which any competitor might rticipate to one event in each of the five classes as outlined the pentathlon method. This means u girl may try for honors in one jumping, rumning, throwing, striking and climbing event. She never enter more than fiva She mav participate 4n a ‘e, provided she eliminates one other class of events Through this restriction it is hoped not only to safeguard the health of vouthful track and fleld stars but to encourage larger fields Among the prominent physical directors who adopted this standard last night were Miss Bogenrief of the National ©athedral School for Girls; wyre of man of ¥ : Central High School Moles- worth of Friends: Miss Wagner of Chevy Chase Seminary, who put the motion before the house: N of Wilson Normal School: E Huston of Martha Washingtc Webster of Marjorie Webster Miss Saunders of Jefferson Junior chool: Miss Meigs of the 3 C.
