OVERTSFROMID.S, WILL SEEK TITLES Winners of Championships to Be Sent to National Event in Boston. M titles in the South Atlantic A. A. U. championships to- morrow and Wednesday nights in the 104th Medical Regiment Armory in Baltimore. Organizations to be represented are the Knights of Columbus, City Club and Jewish Community Center of this city and the Y. M. C. A, Y. M. H. A, Knights of Columbus, Americus A. C., Emorywood A. C., Camp Holabird, St. Mary's Industrial School, Ritz A. C. and Belair A. C. of Baltimore. ‘Winners will be sent to the national championships in Boston April 8, 9 and 10. Last year the team that represented this district at Boston carried off & team title when Harry Hendersoh, who fought for the Navy, won. Henderson also was a member of the American Olympic boxing team at Amsterdam. For the first time in the history of the tournament Washintgon fighters are given at least an even chance to gain top honors in the South Atlantic championships. Though the Baltimore Y. M. C. A. . team, which won the Baltimore City and Maryland State team champion- ships this Winter, has been made the favorite, there are many close followers of amateur boxing in Baltimore and Washington who believe the District boys have shown better class and will combine to keep the Baltimore “Y” from making it three straight tournament Victories. The City Club, which is coached by Joe Bateman, veteran ring tutor, has entered eight boys and Jewish Com- munity six. Four entries have been made by the Knights of Columbus. Be- sides, there are several Washingtonians who will fight unattached. ‘Three Washington boys in particular are being counted on heavily to win titles. They are Joe Lesser, bantam- weight, of the City Club, and Mike Tar- dugno, featherweight, and Jocko Miller, lightweight, of the Jewish Community Center. Lesser is probably the most promising amateur ever developed in the Capital. Miller and Tardugno are understood to be planning to enter Georgetown University next Fall. Jim McNamara, J. C. C. coach, also is boxing tutor at G. U. City Club also will be represented by Douglas Swetman, 112-pounder; Joe ‘Tamagni and Al Satryb, 126, Kenneth Bryan, 160, and Al Farrell and Layton Miner, 175 pounds. All these boys are expected to show well. Special sections have been reserved in the armory for the Washington fans planning to see the bouts. Tickets are $1.50 ringside, $1 bleachers and 50 cents balcony. FLYING START MADE BY “BUNION” PARADE | By the Associated Press. ELIZABETH, N. J., April 1.—The second edition of Charles C. Pyle’s cross- country ache and pain parade is off to & good and apparently profitable siart. With & crowd that dwarfed the best they could collect last year gathered to see them start and many thousands more lining the course of the first day's run, the 78 wearers of willing legs made their first day’s run of a mere 21 miles. Today they continue with a longer jaunt to Trenton, the last stop in New Jersey, thence westward on their 80- day, 3,500-mile journey that is due to| wind up in Los Angeles June 18. | Ed Gardner, Seattle Negro star, who finished eighth last year, turned in the best performance of the day, leading the pack home in 1 hour 59 minutes . 30 seconds. Another veteran, Sam Richman of New York, came in 15 sec- onds behind. The Cools brothers of Belglum, Karl and Juul, took the next two places, after staging their brother oct all the way. Dressed alike, they ran side by side unti Karl pulled head by a few steps at the finish.

Entries will close next Wednesday midnight. - Washington was expected to win more honors at Richmond than any other city represented in the national tournament, but nobody looked for a triumph so nearly compiete. The Cap- ital's warmest duckpin rival, Baltimore, prevented a grand slam by taking the team title in which the Recreation quint shot a score of 1,812. Mrs. Miltner Beats Record. The singles victory of Mrs. Margaret Miltner stands out among the brilliant performances. Her set of 874 beat by two pins the record established last year by Josephine Roberge of Water- bury, Conn., which was expected to stand for many a tournament. This, coupled with her tie with Mar- jorie Bradt for the all-events title, in Which each totaled 975, and two other major victories this season in tourna- ment _play, may bring to Mrs. Miltner the No. 1 ranking of the Washington Women’s _Duckpin Association. 8he won the Federal and District Govern- ment Sweeptakes and with her husband, Wesley H. Miltner, took first honors in the John S. Blick husband and wife tournament. It is a quetsion whether Mrs. Milt- ner’s tournament triumphs will be given more consideration than the higher averages of several others in league competition. Women in NTEREST of local sportswomen will center tomorrow night on the inter- in Baltimore with the Eagle Ath- letic Club of Washington facing the the senior South Atlantic A. A. U. title. While the strength of the Baltimore group has not been tested on a Capital cour?, and it is reported to be a formid- able contender for laurels, the Eagles should be able to hold their own against them, judging from their general per- formance, which has been most impres- sive throughout the season. They hold a straight record of victories to date, their most notable feat having been their triumph over the Jewish Com- munity Center squad in the semi-final round of the A. A. U. event, recently. The Center team had been rated by many as the strongest in this section, and had scored more than 20 victories during the year. Eagles who will battle for the cham- pionship tomorrow night are Alys Ewers, former George Washington Uni- versity star; Margaret Kuble, Mar- guerite Atchison, Camille O'Hara, Lu- cille Limbach, Grace Raynder and Roxelle Boeton.

OMMY ARMOUR, new pro at the Tam o' Shanter Club of De- troit, is not often given to ex- travagance when discussing golf and golfers. - But it seems to us that Tommy has gone out to sea in his estimate of Horton Smith, the flashing star of the Winter golf season. For Tommy declares flatly that Smith is “the greatest golfer I have ever seen; greater than Jones or Hagen, Evans or any of the other stars of recent years.” Tommy should know, for he has watched and played with Smith in many of the tournaments over the Winter season. He sat in his room at Congres- sional, pausing in the midst of his task of arranging his business affairs prior to making his departure for Detrolt to drop this observation. “He sn't as long as Jones from the tee,” Armour said, “but he is straighter through the fair- way, is far better with the long irons and is as good around the green. He couldn’t be a better putter than Jones, for a better putter does not live than the amateur champion. But he is as ood, certainly, as Jones. Six-foot putts are nothing to this lad. ~He knocks them in without even thinking about them. He won't get in as many traj as Jones, although, in my judgment, he l&n‘c as good at recoveries as the ama- ur.” 26 Holes Without » 5. Armour said Smith started at the third hole at Pinehurst and played 26 consecutive holes without a 5 apj on his card. All the holes were played in 3s and nd he only got a 5 when he missed an 8-foot putt, which Armour said is a short putt for the tall, blonde is lad from Missouri.

On the first day he attempted to play these shots with a mashie and was short of the hole. But the second day of the championship he began running them up and went ahead to win. Smith, it seems, is a natural golfer who has added to his equipment by grooving his swing through constant practice until it is letter perfect. “He played to the semi-final in the P. G. A. last Fall at Baltimore and then went back to Missouri, where he did nothing else but practice for two months,” Ar- mour said. ‘The lad from Missouri is a golfer of exemplary habits. He does not smoke nor drink, and keeps himself in perfect condition at all times. He is a partic- ular pet of Leo Diegel, who has taken him under his wing and tried to instill in him the rough, tough spirit a win- ning golfer must have. One day Diegel tried him out (and this seems like a good {olf story as typical of the Smith outlook on the game). Diegel intro- d to a personable young lady Florida.

His host was dumfounded, for golfers usually do both. “Well,” she said, “what do you do? Don't you have any vices?” L He Had One Bad Habit. { Smith deliberated a moment and then came forth with this: “Yes, I do have a vice. I have been short on my putts for the last weeks.” Apparently Diegel has trained him the right way, for Smith, according to Armour, is tough enough to hold his hllh-fireuure ‘asmosphere of John Farrell, the o?en champion, came up to Smith on the porch of a| Florida club one day, while Smith was, lndlng' in a championship. “Well, " Farrell said, “T'll make it hot for you out there this afternoon.” “Yes.

It sounded just like Tommy Armour's opinion of the lanky Missourian, “He may not be as great as Bob Jones is right now, but I believe he will be greater than Jones as his game de- velops to its peak. I have never seen a man as straight from the tee, nor any one who piayed his frons better, and, boy, he's a great putter. I should know, for I sampled plenty of his wares on that final day of the North and South open.” Di Este, With Unorthodox Grip, Travels 4 Holes 3 Below Par UST to prove that an unorthodox golf style is not necessarily bad, Bill Di Este, the cross-handed ex- pert of the Indian Spring Club, displayed a streak of sub-par shooting yesterday that made the birdies uncovered in the exhibition match ar- ranged as the feature of the day seem pale of comparison.

He started his rampage by getting a par 3 on the sixth hole. Then he slipped a long wooden club shot to the green on the par 5 seventh hole and sank the putt for an eagle 3. A birdie 3 came at the eighth by reason of & fine second shot and a 10-foot putt and Bill ended the string with a par 3 on the ninth hole. He played the nine in 36, notwithstanding the fact that he had started with three 5s, three over par. Di Este is the only cross-handed golf- er around Washington who has attained any degree of skill, and even though his grip is strictly against accepted form, he is rated as one of the best players about the Capital. He grips the club like & base ball bat, scornfully passing up all complexities of grip, such as over- lapping and interlocking and placing his left hand below the right on the | shaft. With this unusual grip he knocks the ball the proverbial mile, and in ad- dition is exceptionally accurate around the greens. One day last Fall Monro Hunter, son of the Indian Spring professional, played the same holes in 2, 4, 3, 3, which totals the same as the score of Di Este, and in the Fall of 1927, Miller B. Stevinson, who set an amateur rec- ord for the course that day, played the last five holes of the first nine in one over 3s. A few moments after Di Este had completed his spectacular George J. Voigt, nationally known golf star, paraded his graceful style before a g sized crowd gathered to see an exhibition four-ball match in which Voigt and Dr. L. 8. Otell defeated J. Monro Hunter, the Indian Spring pro, and Walter R. McCallum, Washington Golf and Country Club amateur. Voigt and Otell won by 4 and 3, pil- ing up their winning margin on the first three holes, with Voigt acoflng birdles in the first four holes. He holed a chip shot from off the green for a 3 at the second, and ran down a 15- footer for another birdie at the fourth, but McCallum holed one of shorter length for a half. Voigt laid a mashie strated his ability to go out in front in big championships and on the courses of the North and Midwest, most of the critics are reserving judg- ment. We asked Tommy what chance ith has of winning the open this " Tomm; lied, “lie certainly good .ycm“ as any: other to us is the tip-off. If Smith is the {eflu& golfer Armour has ever seen, why does not Armour pick him to’'win the championship? Southern golf is quite a bit different from that played on the Northern courses. The e, is entirely different from tee to green, and the putting itself is quite a different matter. It seems to mln{ be’best, to_ Tesérve. '“Conveniently m:u!luq- iS29 [0h S N.W. Dec. 3320 shooting; | gs but took three putts to lose the ninth to Hunter’s par 3. ‘The North and South amateur cham- pion played the first nine in 34 strokes, one under par, making only three mis- takes. His tee shot at the short sixth found the bunker and he took a 4 on this par-3 affair. Over the last nine Voigt was not as good,'for he took 40, scoring a 74, three over par. He de- feated Hunter and McCallum unaided. Voigt's- steadiness around the greens was the determining factor in the match, for the losing pair missed sev- eral putts under six feet in length, while Voigt blew only one putt of hole- able length. Hunter showed his lack of practice, for the Indian Spring slege gun had played only one complete round of the course prior to yester- day’s match. Voigt will be at Pinehurst next Sunday to defend his North and South championship next week. Two important golf meetings are scheduled for tonight. The annual ses- sion of the Indian Spring Club will be held at the clubhouse tonight, with the membership to vote on a slate of new club officers and to take getion toward clubhouse construction.” C.
