SPORTS.. TRACK MEET LAST CHANCE FOR TITLE STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. MRS. J. MARVIN HAYNES of Columbia, former District wom- en’s golf champion, will lead a group of 10 women stars from Jocal clubs into action a week M Has Failed to Shine in Trio| from tomorrow in the first of a series of of Big Sports, but Has Scored in Minors. NLESS the track team comes through with a victory in the annual Spring title meet May 24 Central High School will experience one of the worst athletic years in the annals of the Co- lumbia Heights institution. The Blue and White has failed to show much in foot ball, basket ball and base ball. The track team, however, appears better than the average which have carried Central's colors in recent years and is thought certain to figure prominently in the championship mect whether it wins top honors or not. In the minor sports, however, Cen- tral has fared better. Its rifie team has just won_the indoor title and it ap- pears to have a good golf team. The Blue and White also has a stalwart tennis team, though Western downed the Columbia Heights racketers, 7 to 0, & few days ago to win public high net laurels. 1In foot ball last Fall Central won two games and lost two to finish third in the championship series. In basket b_n)l. a sport in which it has been predominant in recent seasons, it flivvered with a will, finishing at the bottom in the title chase. The best the school’s nine can do in the current base ball series is to split even, having won one and lost two games and having only one more contest to play. Thoroughly aroused over the situa- tion, Bert Coggins, Central director of athletics, and his band of coaches are determined that if it is humanly pos- sible Central will regain its place in the athletic sun in the mnext school vear. ’ ‘Coach Louis (Ty) Rauber is prepping his foot ball aspirants energetically in Spring practice and Coggins has al- ready begun turning over in his mind his basket ball prospects. Two attractive base ball games and & tennis match are carded for scho- lastics hereabout tomorrow. Eastern and Gonzaga are to face on the East Ellipse at 3:15 o'clock and Tech and Navy Plebes are to clash at Annapolis in the diamond encounters. Eastern squeezed out a 10-9 win over Gonzaga recently in the Eastern Stadium. Gonzaga and Georgetown Prep are listed to engage in a prep school tennis league match at Garrett Park, Md. Heading today's schoolboy card was the public high school base ball cham- pionship game between Business and Central in the Eastern Stadium. In other diamond tilts Western and Catholic University Freshmen were to meet at Brookland, Hyattsyille High and Gonzaga on the Monument Crounds, St. Alban’s and Woodward at St. Alban’s, and Eastern and Swavely at Manassas, Va. Business and Central tennis tcams were slated to hook up in a title en- gagement. A prep school net league match between Et. John's and George- town Prep at Garrett, Park, Md., also was sched! . s was a tennis en- gagement between Western and St. Alban’s at St. Alban’s. SEEKS HUME SPRING PILOT. Manager Charles Deuterman of the A, B. & W. Bus Co. nine wants the Hume Spring team manager to call him after 7 p.m. at Clarendon 807-F-5. The Bushmen are after a game for Deco- ration day with some out-of-town team. Manager Deuterman may be addressed at Arlington, Va. ntercity matches widh visiting women golfers. The Washimgton women will play against a selected group of women from Baltimore on the course of the Columbia Country Club. The Balti- more golfers will be headed by Virginia Holzderber, holder of the Middle At- lantic Golf Association women's cham- pionship and a star of national fame. The team of Washington women who will meet Miss Holzderber's team will be chosen from the following women golfers: Mrs. J. M. Haynes, Mrs. William S. Corby and Mrs. 8. F. Colladay of Co- E. Booker of Washington; Mrs. H. A. Knox, Mrs. R. L. Rose and Mrs. L. B. Chapman_of Congressional; Winifred Faunce of Manor; Mrs. Dorothy White Nicholson of Washington; Mrs. Alma von Steinner of Beaver Dam and Doro- thy Hunter of *Indian Spring. uniformly successful in their engage- ments with teams of women playe! fro mother cities. Mrs. Haynes is ne with golfers from the Capital. An augmented field of players start- ed today in the first day's qualifying round of the popular Town and Coun- try Club tourney. The field, of more than 130 players, has been split into two sections, with half the entrants playing today and the other half sched- uled to_start tomorrow. Amonz the stars scheduled to get under way to- day are Page Hufty of, Congressional, J. A. Cox of Argyle and*J. J. Lynch of Argyle. The qualifying round will be concluded tomorrow and will be fol- lowed by the customary twin rounds of match play. At last Fred McLeod has missed a trap shot. The diminutive Columbia mentor, who has gained fame by the accuracy of his shots from bunkers, missed one yesterday that may have cost Mrs. J. M. Haynes and himself first place in the woman’s professional Scotch foursome event at Columbia. As it was, Effie Bowes, woman star of Rodgers Forge, and Charles P. Betschler of Rodgers Forge won first place with a card of 81. Bnt Mrs. Haynes and Mc- Leod were two shots in front of the Rodgers Forge combination at the fif- teenth hole. Here they took a 6, for McLeod put the ball in the bunker and Mrs. Haynes played it out to a hanging lie on the hillside. That was bad, but worse was to come. Mrs, Haynes, driving first at the sixteenth, ut the ball in a bunker at the left of his 150-yard short hole. And as Fred- die waded into the sand we expected to see one of those brilliant trap shots nestle up against the pin. But what a catastrophe befell the house of McLeod at this juncture. Freddie not only knocked the ball out of the trap, but he knocked it across the green into an- other trap. . Then followed more missed shots, with McLeod missing another bunker shot, and ‘the upshot of the thing was the pair holed out in 7 strokes. Meanwhile little Charlie Betschler parked his tee shot eight feet from the pin at the seventeenth and Miss Bowes ran down the putt for an eagle 2. After that there wasn't anything to it but Rodgers Forge. - The Haynes-McLeod combination finished in a tie for sec- ond place with- Mrs. W. D. Bahn of Baltimore and Willie Schreiber of Fred- erick. Mrs. R. L. Rose of Congressional and A. B. Thorn of Town and Country were fourth, with 89. Forty-four entries competed in the tourney. And it now is our opinion that Charles Betschler should give the balance of the pros a handicap when be starts in these pro- fessional things. For he won the tourna- ment two weeks ago at the Suburban Club of Baltimore and yesterday he had a walkaway to win lumbia; Mrs. J. M. Hodges of the Army, | Navy and Marine Country Club; Mrs. Y. | The Washington women have been | | gotiating with women from Norfolk and | Frederick, Md., to play in team matches | 'TILDEN AND HUNTER Twelve Washington players are among the 105 entrants in the Spring invita- tion tournament of the Baltimore Coun- try Club, entries for which closed last night. Prominent among the entrants are Miller B. Stevinson of Columbia, the District amateur title holder, who won the tourney in 1926; Albert R. Mac- Kenzie of Columbia, runner-up in the Baltimore event several years ago; Hugh H. Saum of Columbia, Hugh MacKenzie of Columbia and Harry D. Cashman of Washington. The probable reason for the small entry list from Washington is the conflict with the Town and Country | Club tourney, which starts today. The Baltimore event will be played over the Five Farms course of the club and the tourney dinner will be held Thursday night at Roland Park. Three of the four matches in the third round of the French High Com- mission Cup tourney at the Chevy Chase Club were concluded yesterday, and only one, the match between D. D. L. McGrew and J. H. Hinemon, was to be played today. Results in the other | matches follow: E. P. Porcher defeated | Gen. Charles G. Treat, 1 up: E. O.| Wagenhorst defeated W. J. Du Bose, | 6 and 4; Dr. W. B. Mason defeated | Hugh M. Southgate, 7 and 6. | Woman golfers of the Columbia Coun- | try Club were to compete this afternoon in 1{ match play against par tourna- ment. TO SAIL TOMORROW By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, May 7.—Leaving the carly part of the American Davis Cup campaign in younger hands, Big Bill Tilden and Francis T. Hunter sail on the Aquitania tomorrow night for an extensive tennis invasion of Europe. While John Hennessey, John Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison are taking care of the Davis Cup in American zone competition, Tilden and Hunter will be campaigning in all the principal tourna- ments abroad. They have their eyes set on six championships in singles and doubles in France, England and Hol- land, but there is some doubt whether | their ambitions will be realized in as many as half of them. Starting with the French champion- ships at Auteuil on May 20, the first and sccond ranking players of the United States will travel to England for the Wimbledon championships starting June 24, with a side journey to Am- sterdam for the Dutch titular tourna- ment beginning June 4. Hunter is the present Dutch singles champion, and either he or Tilden may op away with the title again this year and per- haps will win the doubles. But France probably will continue her monopoly on t;lledchnmpionshlpa at Auteuil and Wim- ledon. Tilden and Hunter have made tenta- tive plans for a team match against a picked German squad before they leave the continent for Wimbledon, but final arrangements have not yet been made. They plan to return to the United States the latter part of July. U. S. G. A.

BALTIMORE, May 7.—None of the outstanding 2.year-olds of last season will be at the barrier Friday for the thirty-eighth running of the Preakness Stakes at the Pimlico course. Twink, the last of the nominees which dis- tinguished itself as a 2-year-old, with- drawn by the Loma Stable after pulling up lame Saturday, assured the event of that. ‘This year’s classic, in the opinion of those who follow the races, is an ex-| tremely open event, with a large field | going to the post to contest for the total of $72,000, which the race is worth, $62,000 going to the winner. Essare, The Nut, Minotaur and Grey Coat, all of which have been showing well in the season so far, are certain to be given heavy backing. Groy Coat has beaten a field of Preakruss aspi- rants, while The Nut is adj.dged better than Dr. Freeland, despite the fact the latter led him to the wir¢ Saturday in a race which saw six of (he Preakness | | cligibles in_action. Essa12, taken to New York tracks after the close of the Bowie campaign, won the Wood Stakes, leading Annapolis, Upset Lad, Brown Wizard, Mr. Foo, Flag Day, Beacon Hill and Chatford, all Preakness nominees, in_casy style. Black Diamond, Walter J. Salmon’s hope for both the Preakness and Ken- tucky Derby, was returned an easy win- ner yesterday at Pimlico in the second event at a mile and a sixteenth, though he was not pitted against eligibles for the classic on Friday. The Preakness distance is a mile and three sixteenths. | My Sis, W. F. Scheid’s entry for the Preakness, was declared definitely out yesterday, and sent to his home in Lan- caster, Pa., for a rest. Charles Gaffagnini has engaged Jockey F. Halbert to ride Minotaur on Friday, while R. Leonard will have the mount on R. T. Wilson's African.

CIGARS ARE THE MOST ENJOYABLE AND LEAST IRRITATING FORM IN WHICH TOBACCO CAN BE SMOKED is the expert medical opinion of DOCTOR LEON BIZARD Laureate of the French Academy of Medicine “Thecigarsmokerseldom becomes a tobacco addict —an inveterate smoker. ‘Therefore, he does not suffer the consequences that result from the con- oS stant indulgence in tobacco. In my opinion the cigar is the most enjoyable form in which tobacco can be smoked. Its smoke has no tendency to irritate the mucous membrane.’ <yt » 7 SPORTS. 35 PLAQUE IS AWARDED TO ALEXANDRIA HIGH ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 7.—Alex- andria High School has been presented the bronze plaque awarded annually to the member of the Virginia Literary and Athletic League adjudged the best in both literary and athletic endeavor. ‘The Maroon and White foot ball team won the State championship, the track team obtained one second two thirds in the meet at Virginia Saturday, while A}\‘Jidrey Lee won the reading champion- ship.

He tastes the full, rich flavor of the finest tobaccos—and is satisfied. Therefore cigar smoking never degenerates into anervous habit. Thereisno craving, no hurried lighting of one from the butt of another. Puff for puff the average cigar smoker smokes but half as much as HROAT troublesso prevalent amongst American Smokers, irritation of bron- chial mucous membrane, are duc to two causes. Firstly, the burning, drying effect of bot. tobacco smoke upon the tender tissues of the nose and throat. Secondly, the presence of Furfural and Acrolein, twin irritants found in the smoke of tobaccos cured and flavored with cer- tain foreign substances that must be regarded as adulterants. It is these two substances (Furfural and Acrolein) which are the prime cause of coughs, overwrought nemves, decreased vitality and other disorders which result menwedded to tobaccg in its other forms. f you would feel better, with no cough or throat irritation, improved nerves, in- creased vitality and less of chat tired feel- ing—test the opinion of Dr. Leon Bizard —smoke cigars exclusively for one week. To really test cigars with justice to yourself and to cigars, we suggest the test be made with La Palinas.

The sensational success of La Palina re- sults from an exclusive and secret blend which combines for the first rime in one cigar, an extreme mildness with a rare richness of both taste and fragrance. “It sure is the berries!” said Nan. “I chew it whenever I can.
