SPORTS.’ Three Golf Champions Will Appear in Exhibition Maiches Sunday in Capital ‘VOIGT, MCARTHY AND PITT T0 PLAY Held Also te Display Skill. Affairs Listed at Wash- ington, Bannockburn. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HREE holders of important golf titles are billed to show their wares in exhibition matches to be held at Washington clubs on Sunday. In contest to be held at Bannockburn and Washington, both starting at the same time—2 o'clock—George J. Voigt, North and South amateur and Long Island open champion, third ranking amateur golfer of the United States; Maurice J. McCarthy, intercollegiate title holder, and Harry G. Pitt, amateur champlon of the Middie Atlantic Golf Association, will exhibit the brand of lolt that brought them these champion- Vulgt will pair with Eddie Held of New York, former trans-Mississippi champion, and first holder of the na- tional vublic links title, against Pitt and John C. Shorey at Bannockburn. ‘The latter holds the District junior title, won last year at Indian Spring. Pitt atnexed the mid-Atlantic cham- pionship at Congressional last year, downing Shorey on the nineteenth hole of the final round. The other match will find the long- hitting MecCarthy, captain of the Georgetown golf and basket ball teams, matching his distance-eating clouts at Washington with that other famed gol$ ball mauler, J. Monro Hunter of lndlln Spring, who has the status of a pro- fessional and the attitude toward the game of a first rank amateur. Mc- Carthy will pair with Walter R. Mc- Callum of Washington, while Hunter will play with his professional aide at Indian Spring, George Diffenbaugh. Diffenbaugh is small in stature, but is a mighty man of the links, He and Hunter have never been defeated in four-ball competition around Washing- ton, although they have engaged near- ly all the leading duos around the Capital during the.past year. Their lone defeat came last year at the hands of two Baltimore amateurs—Tom Cole and Charles M. McCourt—at the poorly kept Clifton Park public course in Baltimore. Both exhibition matches will be open fo the public without charge. The Bannockburn _tilt will mark George Voigt's second appearance of the year on a Washington golf course, for two weeks ago he played in an exhibition at Indian Spring. Eddie Held never has played around Washington, and is not at all familiar with the rugged Ban- AIN played havoc with the plans of both junior and senior sportswomen for out-door ac- Women in day afternoon. Army, Navy and Marine Corps Club golfers were forced to postpone their opening tour- nament of the season. which was carded yesterday morning, while junior basket ball and schlag ball stars had to cancel | all activities on the playgrounds for both Wednesday and yesterday. Thursday, April 18, has been set as the new date for the opening of the service club matches. The usual 9-hole handicap round will be played off in the morning, open to all members of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club and their guests, and fol- lowed by luncheon and a business meet- ing at the clubhouse. Golfers who expect to stay for the luncheon meeting are requested by Mrs. ‘Thorne Strayer, golf chairman, to make their reservations in advance with Mrs. Campbell at the club. The phone num- ber is Clarendon 1859. Election of officers for women’s ac- tivities will be the principal business before the group. Playground basketers have lost count of the postponements of their long-de- layed title contest for the interpl: nockburn layout. Voigt, however, knows all its tricks, for he has been a mem- ber of Bannockburn for fourrears, and has at present the status of a non- resident member. Both Pitt and Shorey know the Bannockburn course thor- oughly. ‘The contest at Washington will be marked by the tremendous hitting of McCarthy and Hunter. Few people know that Hunter, who has been a pro- fessional golfer for only seven years, ‘won championship of Western Canada for five consecutive years, and learned the game of golf on the same courses near Edinburgh, Scotland, on which the Armour brothers, Bob Cruick- shank and other famed Scottish 1%1-0- fessionals developed their games. ir appearance at Washington will be their first showing of the year as a pair. Diffenbaugh did not play in the muh with Voigt two weeks ago. Just to show that the tricks of the Washington Golf and Country Club course could be solved by them, Diffen- baugh and Hunter played a practice round over the course yesterday, and THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, VAN RYN PITS SPEED AGAINST JAP'S LOBS By the Assocldted Press. PINEHURST, N. C, April 12—The Jersey volleys of John Van Ryn were DoC easy afternoon with Jack Wright, Cana- dian outdoor champion, from Toronto, eliminating him in straight sets by a 6—1, 6—4, 6—1 score. Onda had more difficulty with Marcel Rainville, right’s teammate -from Montreal, but wore him down by the application of patient lenenlship and calm eomu y. The score was 6—1, had a best ball of 65. Registered under unfavorable scoring conditions, on put- ting greens which had not been cut for three days, this score is an indica- tion of what McCarthy and McCallum must do to keep pace with the Mutt and Jeff combination from Indian Spring. McCarthy holds the course record of 66 for the Washington layout, and both he and his partner will have to be at top form if they expect to keep pace with the gargantuan hitter from In- dian Spring and his diminutive partner. Yesterday Hunter and Diffenbaug] stagted the last nine 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, whicl is 3 under par for the ‘five holes played. At the sixteenth Hunter drove into the trap guarding the green and he carried the trees at the seventeenth - even though he had to buck a cross wind. In so far as the inconsistent game of golf can be consistent, George J. Voigt should go on today and tomorrow to win a third consecutive North and South amateur championship. Today he matches shots with Phillips Finlay, the long-hifting Harvard sophomore, whom O. B. Keeler has termed the longest hitter in the world, while Richard Wil- son, Georgetown University lad, who was brought up within a stone’s throw of Pinehurst, is opposed to Willlam C. Fownes, jr., conqueror yesterday of John Dawson of Chicago. Fownes is particu- larly effective at Pinehurst, but the re- sult of the Fownes-Dawson match yes- terday is still another illustration of the elusiveness of winning form at golf. Bill Fownes won the amateur cham- plonship back in 1910 and has been a consistent top-liner ever since. But he was given little chance against Dawson, who won the qulluytng round on Tuesday and was expected to con- test with Vom in the final round. Against these odds and against the young man who has become one of the most prominent amateurs of the Nation, the amateur champion of 1910 won his second round match. Fownes should take Wilson's measure today, and advance into the final against Voigt, for Finlay is hardly consistent enough to match Voigt's unfailing ac- curacy. Sport ground championship which was rained on again this past Wednesday. It is probable that the teams from Chevy Chase and Garfield will get together tomorrow morning at 10:30 at Plaza field if the sun shines, but no more ad- vance dates will be arranged definitely as advance plans seem to invite their particular jinx to get busy and spoil the party. The tossers hope to lnelk up quietly on some unsuspecting st morning and steal a march on Old Mln Weather by staging their all-important contest before he catches his breath sufficiently to blow up a protesting storm. Schiag ball openings also have been postponed this week because of in- clement weather. Games which were scheduled Wednesday and yesterday afternoons on the local playgrounds in the seven divisions of the interscholas- tic league, as well as contests arranged on the interclass circuits of the ele- mentary schools, will be carried over to later dates, which will be agreed upon mutually by the team managers and directors of the respective playgrounds on which the contests are to be staged. All postponed games in the playground series must be worked in between reg- ular contests £0 as not to interfere with By CORINNE FRAZIER. the scheduled circuits. --OPEN SATURDAY NIGHTS-- PBING Schavolite Golf Clubs give distance!
