1 mHE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1929. : SPORTS. 31 Youthful Munro Hunter, Son of Indian Spring Pro, Is Chip Off the Old Block ALREADY MATCHES DAD'S LONG DRIVES Shows Skill With 76 Under Adverse Conditions in Baltimore Event. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HERE has been little ballyhoo about a tall lad from Indian Spring who knocks the ball &s far as his daddy. But if our judgment is any good in the business of picking a youngster who is liable to knock 'em all dead around Washington when this same youngster geots a little more experience, we should like to call attention to Munro Hunter, 17-year-old son_of J. Munro Hunter, professional at Indian Spring. Because his father is a prcfessional it doesn’t follow that the youthful Mun- ro is a pro. But it is logical that he | should be a fine golfer and that he | ¥! should follow in his dad’s footsteps as | a mammoth hitter. Just by way of bringing the argument up to date, we should like to point out the following facts. Munro played in his first big-time | tournament at the Suburban Ciub of | WV Baltimore Monday. The weather was| very bad. High winds vied with blus- tering rain squalls to make the going tough. Most of the pros were well up in the high 70s and some of them were | over 80. | great golfing father moved over the par | 70 course in 76 strokes, which included one missed putt of three inches and three more of less than two feet. That missed one of three inches came from inexperience, for the lad tried to hit it backhanded and it didn't move. | FEis Just to show how much power he has in | his swing, he was the only man in the field to get an eagle on the par 5 four- teenth hole, a 468-yard affair with one of the narrowest fairways in existence. Here he nonchalantly knocked a pair of wooden club shots on the green and rolled in the putt for a 3. ‘Munro Hunter is going to play in the ‘Washington club tourney next week, if he can get enough time off from his Jessons at Central High School. And if he doesn’t give the golfing gentry here- abouts something to think about, there | o is no such thing as a sliced tee shot. He knocks the ball very nearly as far as his more famous daddy, with an easy swing that is reminiscent of Roland MacKenzie when the latter was moving up to national recognition. And he, 00, is as long as Roland used to be. To our eyes Munro Hunter is the best youthful golfing prospect around Wash- ington today, and if his game develops as fast in the next two years as it has in the past year, he should be very near | the top of the amateur heap hereabouts | very shortly. His father says he fis | quick to pick up the fine points of the | game and is an assiduous lad about the irksome business of practicing. He and his partner, A. B. Thorn of Town and Country, finished in sixth place in the amateur-professional event Monday at Baltimore. But if Munro had had ® little more experience in these tourmaments they might have | finished in first place. As it was, Charles | T P. Betschler, pro, and Frank Sweeney, amateur, of the Rodgers Forge Club shot a 70 to win the event. Little George Diffenbaugh and F. W. Harvey of Indian Spring turned in a 72 to finish in a tie for.second place with two Balti- more pairs, while J. Munro Hunter, the Indian Spring pro, and W. R. McCal- lum were next with 73. The next tour- ney for the pros will be a mixed best bail event at Columbia May 6. AT A REVISED BOWLING CARD FOR WOMEN’S TOURNEY |s, e 3 Lebanon E. E. ulliyan and Leonberger.

And Pop Sommerkamp, turned 60 years, let fly with a duckpin ball. He had made three consecutive strikes. The boys were pull- ing like mad for a fourth. It is said no bowler has ever made a quadruple strike in the Washington City Duckpin Association tournament. But Sommerkamp came as close as possible. On his fourth shot nine pins went down and the tenth wobbled. The association has a standing offer of $20 for a quadruple strike. A triple is worth $5. The veteran is the only bowler of the current season to coilect a fin. But Pop isn’t through collecting on that triple. It helped a lot to put him and his partner, Van Sant, in first place of the Class B doubles. If their total of 707 doesn't stand up to the finish it is quite certain to figure in the money. Sommerkamp’s games were 132, 121 and 106, for a total of 359. Sant had 100, 117, 131—348, bination, which led, with 682, 14 Van They supplanted the Thayer-Meadege com- Duckpin Tourney Scores TEAMS.

With §4 teams and many doubles and D | singles listed, it will be the largest duck- | pin event for women ever held in this city or any other. Competition in all events is scheduled | for tonight. The teams will swing into i action at 7:30 o’clock. Linworth team of the Northeast League is far in front in class B, in the | city tourney, with a set of 1,729, the highest team score of the tournament. With G. Heney contributing 150 pins, the Lindworth dropped 614 in the open- er. The other games were 551 and 564, Heney leading the individuals with 371, followed by H. Cole with 355. Camp and Pillsbury, with 642, took | the lead in class E doubles. Taylor and | Kirkpatrick had been on top with 632, Double-header strikes are a bit too numerous to please the association bosses, who feel comfortable when the treasury is in a healthy state. A buck apiece is paid for double-headers, and up until last night 44 had been made. i is far above the average for a week of play in the tournament, which opened a week ago last Monday. At this rate twin strikes will cost the asso- clation around $175. Rena Levy, who is assisting assiduous- | ly with the clerical work and sees every score sheet, notes a remarkable number of single strikes. Fifteen were made the | other night by two teams shooting on the same alleys. “The most consistent team bowling,” | observes Miss Levy, “was done by the | Pilots. They had a set of 1510, and there were only two individual scores low 90, and only three over 100. George Friend, the Curb Cafe star has accomplished little or nothing in the tournament, but he is burning up S & Gk d A‘nnann Girl Bowlers St;l—rt Tourney For District Titles Tonight the drives in independent games. If he doesn’t lhcoulzenp:n any given game, the cigars are on him. In the old Palace alley days, when Harry Krauss was in his prime, this wizard backed himself to shoot 125. But that was before Harry took a leading part in a campaign of alley managers against gambling. It is rumored that Bradley Mandley, this year's foremcst Wowler, will shoot with the King Pins next season., How- ever, Brad was reported once before signed by Capt. Howard Campbell. Len Collins has proposed that the al- ley folk organize a league of their own, composed of three or four man teams | and rolling at a different establishment | each week. Ten pins is a dead game here, but the big maples will be resurrected for one night when, next Saturday, the Ameri can Ice Co. holds its annual tourna- ment at the Arcadia. Two teams from each of the following cities will com- | pete: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, | Baltimore and Washington. | Total pins for three games will deter- | mine the winner. The ice concern con- | ducts a ten pin league in each of the | cities named and the 12 high average | men of each are sent to the national | | tournament. It was staged in Boston | last year and Washington won. | Charles C. Small, president of the | American Ice Co., and other officials will | come to the tournament, which will be | followed by a banquet at the Raleigh Hotel. | Washington's _representatives this | year will be: William Schreider, A.

A YANKEE ARMY RIDERS SEEK WORLD HONORS By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 24—A United States Army team of four riders will sall on May 2 for Europe to compete in the international jumping competi- tion at Warsaw, Poland, from June 1 to 12. Three members of the team already }have been selected—Maj. Harry D. | Chamberlin and Capt. William B. Brad- | ford, both of the 9th Cavalry, Fort Riley. Kans., and Lieut. Edwin Y. Argo, 1st Field Artillery, Fort Sili, Okia. Earl F. Thomson, 9th Cavalry, prob- ably will be the fourth member of the | squad. |, Only once before has an American team competed in European jumpiig contests outside the Olympic™ games.
