one of Cap PRACTICE ROUNDS GIVE LITLE HPE Even MacKenzie, Who Used to Such Competition, Is Uncertain. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. RAE BURN CLUB, BOSTON, Mass., September 10.—None 00 sanguine of their chances to qualify in this championship which finds 150 of the world's finest amateur golfers gathered here to Bttempt to knock the simon-pure crown from the head of Bob Jones, six Wash- dngton players, who have more or less standing in the minor league compe- tition about the Capital, moved out over the stiff Brae Burn course today in the first half of the 36-hole qualifying gound for the national amateur cham- fpionship. Two of them are newcomers to major feague golf competition, one is a veteran campaigner and an almost sure quali- fier, although a youngster in years. Another has qualified once before, Wwhile two more have made ineffectual bids to enter the charmed circle. Course Is Tricky. Not one of the Washington entrants Is any too sure of himself as the medal round starts today. Their practice founds have revealed the hidden dan- gers that abound over the flat stretches of Brae Burn's rugged length. For the course, even though it has not the great length that has characterized other championship tests, is tricky in every sense of the word. Well trapped. keenly rolled putting greens vie with closely guarded fairways and deceptive- | iy placed water ditches to catch the ball off the linc to the hole. Unlike Oakmont, which has both length and myriads of traps, this Brae Burn course has deception as to dis- tance, rugged carries and tricky second shots. One good example is the carry needed on the eighteenth hole, a mild | dooking affair of 437 yards, which be- itomes a fearsome thing when the player steps up on the tee. All it de- mands is a carry of 208 yards to get over a brook which bisects the fairway. Some of the other holes are much like this, although on the whole they de- ut.;md accuracy from the tee rather than | @xtreme length. Irons Set Low Score. Phillips Finlay, noted long hitter, layed the first nine holes yester- ay driving with an iron and scored a 3. He took his weoden clubs from the | #0. ag on the second nine and scored a Harry G. Pitt of Manor has been froubled with a fearsome hook which &s bloen carrying him into all sorts of uble. Page Hufty of Congressional has just Ahe opposite fault, for he has developed & slice. Al Houghton's putting has been none 00 good, while Roland MacKenzie looks to us to be overgolfed, drawn a bit too fine by the plentitude of golf he has had in Chicago and at Newport, where i he played in the gold mashie tourna- | ment. Miller B. Stevinson of Columbia is playing well, but is none too sure of gualifying. He and MacKenzie are the only men from the Capital who have ’:zuallfled in this championship in recent ears. MacKenzie has not failed to qualify ince 1923, while Stevinson qualified and | beat MacKenzie in 1926. | Pitt and Reid W. Digges of Bannock- ! purn are newcomers to this_champion- | ®hip, while Houghton and Hufty have | each had two tries before and failed. Voigt Going Strong. George Voigt, formerly of Bannock- ®urn, is scoring as well as anyone here. Voigt was credited with a round of 71, the lowest score made by any of the competitors in practice. All the news- papermen and some of the competitors agree that if Voigt getsover his hardest hurdle, the medal round, he will go far in match play. All of which may or may not be true. 2 ‘When the proposition gets down to brass tacks, all agree that the cham- pionship lies between Bob Jones and George Von Elm, the first two seeded players, who are very likely to meet in 8 final round which will burn up Brae Burn and rock the sacred cod in its cradle in the State house. Is| D. C. GOLFERS TO PLAY COURSES IN SCOTLAND William M. Collins, president of the Railway Mail Association, and Mrs. Col- lins, and Thomas F. Flaherty, president of the Post Office Clerks' Association, sailed the past week to spend sometime golfing over the famous golf course of Scotland. ‘They will play the Braid Hills course at Edinburgh, where Tommy and Sandy Armour first learned the game. The Armour brothers furnished letters of | introduction to all of the leading Scotch and English pros. COCHET FAVORITE INU.S. NET EVENT Little Frenchman Picked to Take Title Forfeited by Lacoste. By the Associated Pro REST HILLS, N. Y., September 10.—America’s greatest tennis prize—the national singles cham- plonship—today was awaiting a new owner from among the 64 knights of the court starting a battle | for it that will end next Saturday. Rene La Coste, the French ace, who who won the title in 1926 and 1927, could not reconcile business interests with a defense of his championship and so elected to let it go by default. But La Coste's failure to defend leaves the United States with litle more chance of recovering the title than it would have had had the French autom- aton decided to drop his business to see if he could make it three in a row. Debate As to Runner-Up. Rene voluntarily let the title slip from his fingers, but there’s another French- man, Henrl Cochet, ready to grab it. At top form. Cochet can beat anybody in the world, and in recent weeks he has given evidence that he is at his competitive best. Pre-tournament discussion seems to boil itself down to who will be runner- up to the little Frenchman. In the field of 64 are America's best youngsters as well as the pick of tennis talent from England, Australia, and France. Entries from Canada, Japan, Cuba and Mexico help to give the 1928 championship a heavier foreign tinge than it ever has had. With the two Bills—Tilden and John- ston—out of the picture, America's hopes_are settled on John Hennessey and George Lott, although somewhers out of the pack may come some new Yankee tennis hero to take up the bur- den where Tilden and Johnston left off. Barring such an unexpected occurrence, Lott and Hennessey are the men of the hour. If they cannot stop the French invasion Uncle Sam.will be about ready to give it up for another year. Cochet makes his first appearance on the stadium court at 5 o'clock this aft- ernoon, when he opposes Thomas Wil- ber of New Haven in the first round. Lott Plays Landry. Lott wili precede him on the same court by two hours, when he meets Plerre Landry, another of the seven French entries. At 4 o'clock Jean Boro- tra, feared only less than Cochet, mees Manuel Alonso of Philadelphia, who was ranked No. 4 in the 1927 listings. Hennessey clashes with Dr. George King at 2 o'clock. The first stadium court attraction, at 1 o'clock, will bring to- gether Frank Hunter of New Rochelle, N. Y., and Richard N. Williams, 2d, the only former national champion entered this year. Williams won the title way back in 1914 and repeated in 1916. U. S. POLO TEAM BEATEN. SANDS POINT, N. Y., September 10 (#).—Making its first appearance since its official selection, the new United States international polo team was de- feated by the Blues in a practice match here, 8 goals to 5. 3 BASKET BALL STAR HURT. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., September 10 (#).—George Starbuck, 28, star of the Hillyard basket ball team, twice the National A. A. U. champlons, suffered injuries in an auto accident which may result in the amputation of his left arm. | | | .. !iéhanipionship Golf Tourney May Become Br the Associated Press. EWTON, Mass., September 10.— The thirty-second national amateur golf championship of the United States may develop into an endurance test before all the returns are in Saturday night. The start of the classic today found ndications that it might be a survival | of the fittest physically rather than a matter of unadulterated golf. Only the stoutest hearted of the Nation's best amateur golfers looked without trepida- tion on the hills of Brae Burn, a course that will absorb a lot of climbing. The final practice period brought /many players to the last green with dragging feet, and 2 foot ball player, accustomed to taking his recreation with no appeal for quarter, announced after a mere 18 holes that he was going to bed immediately to rest for th;fi qualifying rounds day and tomorrow. Stamina Ts Essential. e climb at Brae Burn begins on lh’-n;vco:\xé“ hole and while even a golf course follows the law of gravity which decrees that all that goes up must come down, the respites here and there are for as the round drags on. pa"]"‘hec:un-bml sed Bobby Jones, three times champion and medalist for two Years in a row, scemed trained to the Minute for the test that is to determine if he 15 to take his place alongside Jexry “Pravers, who for 15 years has been the only golfer to win the amateur four 1imes. No matter what the course may do to the woods and irons of the pride of Atlanta, he apparently is equipped to finish under his own powcr. One of the most severe altitude wsts comes at the ninth hole, where the socond shot after a good drive must be made high in the air to an elevated green. The home hole offers a problem in the form of a brook 208 yards from the tee. Few of the contenders were confident that they packed a wallop gond for a carry of this distance every time as the qualifying tests cast their terrifying shadow over the field. A for- mer champion suggested that not more than 15 fours would be made on the cighteenth hole by the 144 ambitious starters in the first test of skill and nerve. “I would dislike very much to come up to this hole needing a 4 to qualify,” he said. The consensus was that Brae Burn would stand for no foolishness on the part of the players and predictions of , high qualifying scores were frequent. Many experienced observers thought 160 for the 36 holes would win the right to remain in the match play com- petition, restricted to 32 players. These will be determined by 18 holes at medal play today and another 18 tomorrow. The current battleground is more at- tractive for the match players than the erformer secking madalist honors and he same experts who believed two 80's good enough to qualify predicted that|earlier gam: @ score of 130 or more would win the !Phelan has Endurance Test medal. Not since 1920 has the medalist scored more than 150. Jones' 142 at Minikahda last year tied the record, made by D. Clark Corkran at Merion in 1924, Jones was medalist at Baltrus- rol in 1926 with 143 and Roland Mac- Kenzie carried off the honors at Oak- mont in 1925 with 145. Par Is Hard to Beat. Players scoring 156 last year played off for the available qualifying places, but in 1926 those with 36-hole totals of 163 entered the playoff. No round under 70 has been recorded at Brae Burn in a major championship. The best in the national open here in 1919 was par 72. The only time 70 has been bettered on the course was in a club event. | "R. R. Gorton, the bellwether of the | 1928 championship, deserved to start | the ball rolling. His 69 stood alone. He and Al Broderick were named to tee off_first. ! Not_all the trouble to be found at Brae Burn was concealed in the hills and dales. Jess Sweetser, former ama- teur champion of the United States and Great Britain, declared that putts could | be missed on the beautiful but keen |greens. He used 77 putts in two prac- tice rounds. D.

Welch twisted his knee while playing base ball this Summer and it is still in bad shape, being held by two braces. ital’s Six EVENING NTRIES are open for the annual tin can golf tournament staged each Fall on the Garfield play- ground, which boasts the only “course” in town. Girls are signing up daily for the event, accord- ing to Mrs. Evelyn Sheridan, director, and it is expected that a record list will compete this season. Play will begin the latter part of September after the opening of school. Matches will be run off just as in a senior golf tournament. The game is a combination of golf and old-fashioned “shinney,” the ‘“shinney” or hockey stick being used in the place of a club. The balls are small wooden spheres, a ‘little smaller than the average golf ball, and gayly colored. The holes are tin cans sunk into the ground. Each round is nine holes. Francis Allen won the event last year. First round matches in the doubles quoit championships on the pla grounds, which open tomorrow with play in the singles, are scheduled for the latter part of the week. Girls who won their ground events as a team will be entered in the sectional play for the doubles title. Garfield plaground representatives are the latest to be crowned; Margarct | event and Ellen Burnham won the event at the outheast center, defeating Dorothy Kelso and Marie Shorb, 21—19, 18—21, 21—16, in the title match Sat- urday. This was the closest final en- counter reported on any of the grounds. Quoit throwing is a sport popular not only with the junior sportswomen, but with their elders as well, as was demonstrated by the group of 20 en- thusiasts who entered the “grown-ups” tournament staged by Letty Souder, di- rector of the Henry Polk playground, as a closing feature of the Summer ac- tivities at this center. Mrs. Pauline Grossberg won the tour- ney and was awarded a vase by Miss Souder. SSe—— Recreation leaders and physical train- ing directors are making their plans to attend the fifteenth annual National Recreation Congress to be held in At- lantic City from October 1 to 6. Lead- ers from all over the country wiil gather at this time to discuss programs of physical training and recreation that will be the most beneficial to the peo- ple of the country, both young and old. | Among the Washington directors who i are expected to attend the congress are | Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes and Miss Maude Parker of the Municipal Piayground Department. APACHE AND MOHAWK SQUADS HOLD DRILLS Apache and Mohawk sandlot foot ball elevens, chief rivals for the District mer won last Fall, staged light drills on their respective fields yesterday, with. the result that both Manager Seymour Hall of the former, a1.d Patsy Donovan, who manages the Hawks, expressed sat- !isfaction with their prospect: Hall was especiallv encouraged when Matt Twomey, former Gonzago star and slated to attend Georgetown Uni- versity this year, reported and announc- ed he will again aid the Little Indians. He played with Hall's eleven in 1926. Leitch, former V. P. 1. tackle also re- ported at Union League Park, the Apache stronghold. Manager Hall has set October 7 as the opening date for Apaches, but is undecided who will fur- nish the opposition. Donovan looked over 20 candidates, who reported yesterday on Navy Yard field. He plans another workout to- morrow night on the same field.

He probably will be all right in three or four weeks, but likely will not be used on_the gridiron this Fall. Though this was the first time Reich- mann has tried for the gridiron team he showed much promise.

HOYA FOOT BALLERS AGAIN FACE TEMPLE WILDWOOD, N. J.. September 10.— Georgetown University's foot ball squad, | in training here, was to scrimmage for the second time in three days today mllalnsv, Temple University in’Atlantic City. . Tt was expected that the Hoyas would show improvement in several respects over their work against Temple Satur- day. In some particulars the Blue and Gray mentors were not altogether sat- isfied with the showing of the squad then and since have discussed the faults exhibited with the players. That the Hilltoppers have been get- ting in some rough licks is shown by the bad cut under the right eye which Muir, a lineman, is exhibiting, and the | cleat’ marks and bruises which others porting. In Saturday’s scrimmage every member of the squad except To- maini and Bozek got action. Tomaini, veteran end, has a weak knee, and Bo- zek, who was operated on recently for appendicitis, s not yet able to engage in rough work.

TERRE HAUTE PLAYS DECATUR FOR TITLE By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, September 10.—If the American League had a double season this year, the New York Yankees might have fared like Terre Haute did in the Three Eyes League, which closed yes- terday. Terre Haute won the championship in the first season with 43 victories and 22 defeats, and then dropped to a tie for fourth and fifth places with Evansville in the second season by winning 32 and losing 37. Decatur won the second season title with a great record of 47 victories and 20 defeats. The two champions will meet for the full season’s championship in a series this week. Collins of Danville, with an average of .389, was the leading full-season bats- man, while Howard of Decatur led the pitchers with 21 victories and 7 losses. Second and third places in the pitch- ing race also went to Decatur pitchers, McKain and Cantrell, respectively. Col~ lins and Duffy of Peoria tied for home run honors with 19 each. Murphy of Danville stole 37 bases to lead in that COLLEGE ST. JOHN’S HAS STRONG SQUAD| ANNAPOLIS, Md., September 10. Coach Talbot Riggs of the St. John College foot ball team is pleased with the outlook. His hopes have been buoyed by the reporting of a number | of new players and of several old men whose ‘eturn was uncertain. Not only does Hamu, a 226-pound Turk, look good at the tackle position, but Keller, of last year's varsity may return. With Bull and Wells of last year’s squad the tackle positions, about which_there was some fear, should be well filled. ‘There is also pleasure over the en- trance of Frank Smith, regular end of the Naval Academy team last year, while the Lynch brothers and Mc- Donough, stars last year, and Desas- scer of McKinley High will bolster up the backfield. i U?on !H'e'wholfl. the nutgmk is for at east a fifty per cent stronger team than last year. i CATOR, HAITI BEATS BROAD-JUMP MARK By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 10.—Silvia Cator of Haiti, runner-up at Amsterdam in the Olympic broad jump, broke the world record for that event in an inter- national meet here, when he leaped 8.93 meters or 26 feet 27-128 inch Cator's sensational jump breaks by nearly eight inches the record estab- ished by Ed Hamm of Georgia Tech, in winning the Olympic championship. Hamm leaped 25 feet 43; inches on that occasion. Jules la Doumegue of France, ran nine opponents into the ground in the 1,500 meters, winning by 15 meters in 3 minutes 54 3-5 seconds.

LANS for the women's champion- | ship of the Middle Atlantic Golf | Association are moving forward | with renewed celerity. Atu#ae instance of Walter R. Mitchell, a | vice president of the association and | chairman of the golf committee at Princess Anne, where the tournament |is to be held October 9-13, inclusive, | women's committees have been formed | for the fixture and everything possible done in advance for the entertainment of the competitors. The committees at Norfolk are as follows: Executive, Mrs. Barham Jones, chairman; Mrs. J. Jett McCormick, Mrs. Frank George and Mrs. Willard Sullivan. Entertainment. Mrs. Walter R. Mitch- ell, chairman: Mrs. S. L. Slover and Mrs. L. H. Windholz. At least a dozen of the weman golf- ers about Washington are planning to | play in the fixture which comes two weeks after the women's national cham- pionship at Hot Springs. Va. A sizable growp of Washington wom- an golfers are looking forward to the title event the last weak in September. Even though 1t is hardly likely that any of the woman players from Washing- ton will cut a wide swath in the chase for the title now held by Mrs. Miriam Burns Horn of California, a delegation of six or eight fair players from the National Capital will go to Hot Springs. Va.. to watch the top liners of women's golf struggle for the crown. Glenna Collett Favorite. Glenna Collett of Providence again is favored to win, as she_ usually is in these women's events. But Miss Col- lett, notwithstanding the admitted fine game she possesses, has been singularly unfortunate in the women's champion- ship. She is the Bobby Jones of wom- en’s golf, but she does not reign su- preme as does Bobby in the men’s ama- teur. For only twice has she been able to win the national. The first time she came through in the South. in the 1922 championship played at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., where she downed Mrs. W. A. Gavin by a wide margin in the final. Two years later she won by a scant margin at the tourney in Con- necticut from Miss Mary Browne, who was declared a tennis professional two years ago. ‘Woman golfers from Washington who expect to make the trip to Hot Springs to play in and watch the championship include Dorothy White of Washington. the champion of the District for three years: Winifred Faunce of Manor. probably her most persistent rival for the title: Mrs. Alma Von Steinner. un- attached, and runner-up to Miss White last year: Mrs. H. A. Knox, Mrs. Ger- trude Chapman and Mrs. R. Lester Rose of Congressional. All these women also expect to plav in the woman's | championship of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association at Virginia Beach the second week in October. Not for many years has an entrant from Washington figured to any ex- tent in the woman's national. Back in the dim and distant days of the game the woman's title chase was held at Chevy Chase—in 1908, when golf was hardly the highly competitive game it is today. It would be refreshing indeed, if one or two of the woman players of Washington qualified in the national. for women’s golf around Washington has not progressed as far nationally as has the game of the men. There are | no Roland MacKenzies or George Voigts in women'’s golf about Washington, al- though a little big time experience | would very likely convert Dorothy White into a ranking star. More than 30 golf pros of Maryland, | virginia and District clubs were en- gaged today in 36 holes of play over the Indian Spring course. Two of this number will qualify to compete in the Professional Golfers' Association cham- pinship tournament to be played at Five Farms, near Baltimore, the first week in October. Columbia Country Club’s junior cham- pionship got under way this morning with thirty-odd entries playing in the 18-hole qualifying round. Thomas P. Bones, jr., is the defending champion. Daniel Shervy defeated Dr. M. B. Fischer, 2 and 1. to win the annual club | handicap tournament at Town and | Country Club. William P. Di Este bested Joseph A.
