SPORTS, Central and Eastern Would Topple Tech Track Team From Scholastic Throne CHAMPIONS STRONG 50108 1S BIG ONE Manual Trainers Have Taken Honors for Last Five Years in Row. OTH Central and Eastern track squads are working energetieally in the hope of toppling Tech from its public high school championship pereh in the title meet to be held May 24. It appears that both the Blue and White and the Lin- coln Parkers, however, have a tough row to hoe to accomplish their opbec- tives, as Tech has another good m. Tech has wn the meet the past five years in a row. SCHEDULE FOR WEEK IN SCHOOL PASTIMES TODAY. Eastern vs. Emerson (base ball). Central va.

Central has much power in the fleld events, but it is doubtful whether the Blue and White can develop sufficient strength in the running department to overcome the McKinley aggregation. Eastern has some nifty athletes, par- ticularly in the longer runs, and by the time of the meet may look eonsider- ebly more formidable than at present. Tech has at hand such: capable ath- letes as Capt. Jack Edwards, who was largely responsible for the team's vie- tory in the 1928 meet; Fountain, sprin- ter; Reichman, Nebel, quarter milers; Austin Winston, field events performer; Marcus Geiger, Tom Oyster, Leo Win- ston and others. Central's leading performers inelude Capt. Calvin Milans, high jumper; Proctor, pole vaulte; crim\ , Ed Milans, broad jumpers; Hinkel, Plumley, Feldman, Naylor, Reilly and Ditsler, Tunners. Eastern is counting heavily upon Capt. Frank Miles and his twin brother Ches- ter, Holmes and Steinkuller, distanee performers; Clow, Swope, quarter milers; Eisenger, Tolson, Martin, dashes; Shorb, McCullough, half*milers; Everett, high hurdler; Wood, javelin thrower; . Holland, shotputter; Slye, field and track dependable; Hutchinson, shotputter, and Winn, pole vaulter. In events tomorrow for District schoolboy athletes Eastern will enter- tain_Gonzaga in a base ball game in the Eastern stadium, Episcopal host to Tech in a track meet at Alex- andria and Episcopal’s tennis team will have Emerson's -racketeers as guests at_Alexandria. Two ball games comprising yesterday's schoolboy card were both broken up by rain before five innings had been play- ed. Gonzaga was lendtn: ‘Western, § to 2, at the end of the fourth inning in their contest on the Ellipse and East- ern was heading Devitt, ¢ to 0, at the end of the first inning in the Eastern stadium. Eastern and Gonzaga probably will provide a lively ball game tomorrow. Both teams have shown power and there is an old rivalry. Eastern has won one and lost one contest so far, and Western was impressive in its match yesterday with Gonzaga which ‘was cut short by rain. Coach Hap Hardell of the Tech track team is not particularly optimistic over success in the meet with Episcopal to- morrow which will open the qutdeor campaign for both teams, but win or lose, he is sure that his proteges will reeeive valuable experience. Tech for eeveral years has started its Spring cinderpath campaign against Episco- pal.

In the relay races virtually all cham- ionship teams have entered the events hey won a year ago. North Caralina, whieh won, is expected to compete with such outstanding teams as Illinois, which established a new record in the Texas relay; Indiana, with a veteran team which finished second in the same event; New York University, Dartmouth, Boston College, Cornell, Springfield and others, Ohio State, which figured conspicu- ously last year in & number of races, will again run in the 480-yard shuttle hurdle race and the half-mile sprint nls{. both of which were won by the Buckeyes last year.

GOPLD. Associated Press Spoerts Editor, HE last five years have been more sweeping in their changes and more dramatic than any other period of tennis history. T Thy have seen the swift transition of Davis eup supremacy from the United States to France, the decline and fall of the Johnston-Tilden dynasty simultaneously with the rise of the Lacoste-Oochet reign under the tricolor banner. The same period has sesn the crown of women's supremacy pass ‘from Susanne Lenglen, temperamental French star, to possssion of the cooler, more dynamic and harder-hitting American girl, Helen 'Wills of California, Professional tennis has made its competitive debut, with Lenglen, Richards and Howard Kinsey as the most conspiouous withdrawals from amateur ranks; leading figures in a trend toward the institution of real open champlonships. IVE years ago the first big, permanent stadium dedicated to lawn tennis was christened by the famous West Side Club at Forest Hills, Long Island, to mark a definite turn in the popularization of the game that was once a play- thing of soclety at Newport. Since then, big busifiess methods have been applied to develop tennis in all parts of the country under the organizing influence of the U. 8. L. T. A, But it Is d|e playing end of the game that has furnished the main exeite. ment of the past five years. Nothing better can convey the idea of its turns than a glance at the world's “first ten" of 1923: 1. W. T, Tilden, U. 8. A. 2. W. M, Johnsten, U. 8. A. 3. J. 0. Andersen, Australia. 4. Richard N. Williams, U. 8. A, 5. Francis T. Hunter, U. 8. A, 6. Vincent Richards, U. 8. A, 7. B. L C. Norton, South Africa, 8. Manuel Alonso, Spain. Jean Washer, Belgium, 10, Henrl Cochet, France. ILDEN and Johnston lasted longer than any other combination in fennis, but in September, 1927, on the courts of the Germantown Cricket Club, they followed the footsteps of the Doherty brothers, Brookes and Wilding and other famous teams. ‘The handwriting, perhaps, was on the wall then, for Lacoste had beaten Tilden the year before and won the American championship for the first time after Cochet had put Tilden out of the running. Big Blll was the hero in the final stand at Germantown, beating Cochet with a marvelous exhibition and dominating the victory of himself and Hunter in the doubles. But Johnston, his game sadly off form, dropped both his singles matches, and Tilden, on the final day, did not have enough stamina left to with- stand the rush of Lacoste. French solidified their ranks in 1928 for the home stand and retained the Davis Cup by a 4-1 margin, with Tilden still their main barrier. He won the only American vietory, and that over his nemesis, Lacoste. There does not seem much prospect of the French winning streak being interruped in 1929. Johnston has retired and Tilden's plans are uncertain, while America is looking to new talent for its future teams. The world's first ten now is dominated by France, with the list, from top to bottom, composed of TCochet, Lacoste, Tilden, Hunter, Borotra, Lott, Austin, Hennessey, de Morpurge and Hawkes. SUNDAY SCHOOL LOOP TO START ON MAY 4 HYATTSVILLE, Md., April 10.—Sat- urday, May 4, has been set for the open- ing of play in the Tri-City Sunday School Base Ball League. Five of the teams which were in the loop last sea- son have ified their intention of again competing. They are the First Methodist Episcopal Church South team of Hyattsville, which won the league flag last year; Trinity, Centenary and St. Phillp’s churches of Laurel, and Savage Methodist Church. Savage Bap- tists have withdrawn from the le: and a club to replace them is now be- ing sought. George C. Wenzel is president of the league, Everett Phelps vice president, Harry Duvall treasurer and Calvin Donaldson secretary. President” Wensel has in mind a post- season series with the pennant winner in the Sunday School League of Balti- ‘more. Arranging of the league schedule now is under way and the card soon will be announced. With virtually every member of its 1928 team at hand along with several new performers of worth the base ball team of the First Methodist Church South of Hyattsville has h the Tri-City Sunday School Base League pen- nant. It is planned to hold first prac- tice Saturday afternoon on the River- dale Park diamond. Carl Frey has been re-elected manager of the team with Willlam T. Luman, captain, William Pistel has been chosen business manager, succeeding W. R. Earnshaw. Hyatisville High School's base hall team scored its second win in as many starts in the Prince Georges County championship series, when it downed Baden Agricultural High nine here yes- terday, 15 to 9. The game was called in the eighth inning because of rain, Hyattsville girls also won over a Baden team, triumphing in a county championship volley ball game, 18 to 12. The Hyattsville girls have now won one match and lost ong in the county title play. —e Pennsylvania, New York, Tennessee and Texas sent teams to the National %.demy Champlonships at Madison, ELBOW BEHAVIOR. NOT UNDERSTOOD BY SOL METZGER. With the slow and wide back- swing pnn:lflu in mind for driv- ing that the long-hitting Abe Mitchell advocates, the next prob- lem of the goif driver cencerns the downswing. Ere taking that up, it will be noticed from the accompanying sketches of long drivers that their right elbows do not always remain AT 10P OF SWING et (W tucked into the right side, as we are told they should. This apparent erroneous wandering of the right elbow—an unorthodox behavior, to say the least—is caused, in the case of these players, by the wide swing up of the club at the end of the upswing. It momentarily pulls this elbow muz and away from the side. As apparent wandering of the right elbow is noticeable. even with such stars as Bobby Jones, it may be dismissed as of no barm in vie of the faet that about the first movement of the downswing cor- Tects it. The same is true of the bent left elbow at the top. 8-LEGGED RECORD.

He succeeds Homer S. Popc, who served as chairman for one year and declined re-election. During the latter part of his term Pope also served 2s chairman of the greens committee. ‘To the latter post William D. Lock- wood was named last night, succeeding John P.

All three of the new chairmen are thoroughly acquainted with their new posts, having served on the various committees immediately prior to their elevation to the chairmanship. Mc- rter has been/a prominent re in the invitation teurnaments ° about Washington for the past three years, although he has never been counted upon as a ible winner. He is a olfer who plays his home course in the W 808 an high 70s. Leckwood and Walen are well known players. ‘The Middle Atlantic open champion- ahlls lpg.ren'.ly has gone by the boards. Stifled by lack of the necessary financial support, the tournament was not held last year, and, judging from the manner in which the professionals speak of the matter this year, the event for the title won by Leo Diegel in 1927 probably will not be played again this year. At the recent professional meeting at the Town and Country Club the pros declined to set a date or choose a cours® for their professional championship, al- though they agreed that one of the great needs of the mentors in this sec- tion of the country is more competi- tion between themselves in order that their respective games may be improved in the fire of competition. Most of them aaserted that singles match play campetition is the best test and will do more to improve their games than medal play, even though medal play is the accepted test for professionals. Yet, in the face of this understanding, they declined to place their indorsement on a proposal by Ralph Beach of Balti- more, that a round robin series of events be held throughout the season in which the pros of Washington, Bal- timore and nearby Vi ia cities would meet each other. with the winner to taks all the pot at end of the season. They agreed alacrity, however, to play in a 36-hole sweep- stakes event arranged by S8andy Armous at_Congressional on June 3. Possibly the professionals need a Judge Landis—an outstanding .man in lacal golf, who will represent taem, and rule on their little squabbles, and at the same time be the individual who can obtain for them the financial support needed to put their tournament across. Golf professionals are notorious indi- vidualists. ‘They cannot be made to slide in a single groove. They want to play in their own way and move along their own paths. But it will be oo bad if the Middle Atlantic Professiopal Golfers’ Associa- tion champienship is allowed to-lapse ! entirely, for it started bravely enough back in 1924, when Leo Diegel brought a group of New York pros, including John Farrell, to play in it at Burning Tree. It had been held since, up to last year, when it was al or financial reasons.

Bill Wood, manager of the King Pin bowling alley, found this out the other night when he chal- lenged Arthur B. orn, pro at the Town and Country Club, to a bowling match. Thorn ¢idu't do so well in the first game. His first effort resulted in a game of 96. But then he got warmed up and struck a string of birdies to- gether, winding up with games of 132 and 143. This streak of super bowling scalped the genial Wood, and now he knows that golf professionals can do other things than play goif. Two major improvements are planned at the Washington Golf and Country Club during the latter part of the sea- son. One is reconstruction of the seventh green by raising it at the back. and the other is rehabilitation of the seventeenth hole. Just how far the work on the seventeenth will go has not yet been determined, but it is likely that the ditch will be tiled and roofed over so that a well hit ball will not find its way to the water hazard. Greenkeeper Whaley has an idea that the climb from the ninth green to the the tenth tee may be eliminated in part by constructing a new tee on the knoll at the right of the ninth green and cutting off part of the big hill about 140 yards away. By this method, he says, play would be approximately along the same line as at present. For the short player the hole would become a dog-leg affair, while the long hitter "xould try the big ecarry across the hilitop. P ] T {DAWSON WITH A 71 LEADS IN N.-S. GOLF | By the Associated Precs. PINEHURST, N. C, April 10.—The first round of match play in the North and South amateur tournament was under way here today with 16 survivers of qualifying play making their bids for the title now held by George Voigt. John Dawson of Chicago took medal- ist honors yesterday with a card of 71 for the last 18 holes and a total of 143 for the two rounds of qualifying com- petition.
