In this day of gasoline buggies and motorized farm implements, the old gray mare is less useful than ever, but her footgear is carrying on nobly. The game of horseshot-pitching is riding a tide of popularity that promises to sweep the country. The first ripples have hit Washington and its vicinity. Unpublished announcements of The Star's tournament met with response that was more than gratifying. Staff men who laid the groundwork for the big tournament were agreeably sur- prised by the co-operation they re- e celved. Those already engaged enthusiasti- cally in the sport welcomed an oppor- tunity to play for prizes and cham- pionship honors. Many who hadn’t played the-game since boyhood days vowed they'd resurrect the old skill and show the folks how horseshoes really should be pitched. And if they * couldn't quite get back the expert touch of yore, why they'd have a 10t of * fun anyway. All Out for a Good Time. The latter volced the real spirit of The Star’s invitation to its tournament. ‘We're all out to have a good time more than to achieve distinction as athietes, Horseshoe-pitching it an.ideal com- munity sport. Anybody can play the game, yet, to be expert, one must possess 'the qualifications that make for success in other sports. Like golf, it is not a game of brute strength, but rather an art in which co-ordination of the eye, mind and muscles is essential. There is a therapeutic value in the game and it is being adopted by sani- tariums as a medium of helpful exer- cise for convalescents, It is being in- cluded in the athletic courses of men’s and women’s clubs. It is being played in municipal parks, Summer camps and at beaches. It is one of the most uni- versal of sports in America. Few are the men who haven't at one time or another pitched horse shoes. In some sections of the country it is excep- tionally popular among women. The rapid rise of the automobile probably had much to do with the de- cline for years of horse-shoe pitching. Less general use of the horse created & scarcity of shoes in mapy communi- ties and a total lack in some. Special Shoes Boost Sport. But the game not only has been saved, but made better than ever and actu- ally boomed by the manufacture on a large scale of special shoes and stakes of uniform dimensions. These are eas- ily obtained and are inexpensive. Only regulation equipment will be used in The Star’s tournament. A va- riety of shoes of barnyard origin un- doubtedly would raise complications, and in many instances would make for unfair competition. Many of the com- munities included in the tournament already are supplied with regulation equipment: all of the Washington play- grounds, for instance. An insignifi- cant tax per capita on participants would outfit the tournaments that have none. With a few modifications, the official rules of the National Horse Shoe-Pitch- ing Association will be followed throughout. Some of them differ con- siderably from the makeshift rules by which many of us played years ago. For instance, it used to be that no regular distance between stakes was| marked off. Tho official specification | now is 40 feet for men and 30 feet lul’i women. Scoring Different Now. We used to score 5 points for a vinger, and if your opponent dropped one on top of yours he scored double. Nowadays in championship play a ringer counts 3, and if an opponent covers it neither side gains a point. What used to be termed a “leaner” and was counted for 3 points, now is rated merely as the closest shoe, and if peither cof the opponent’s shoes is touching the stake goes for 1 point. The regulation shoe is somewhat Jarger than the average of the barn- yard type. It weights 215 pounds, is 71, inches in length and 7 inches wide. The opening is 31, inches. Every pitch counted in the old game. Now only those thoes that park 6 inches or less from the stake are scored. This rule, however, will be waived in the women's competition of The Star's tournament. * A nearly complete list of the towns neld is appended. The chairman of and communities in which meets will be each will be announced later. Any towns or communities in the oounties listed which are not included, but desire to participate, should com- municate with the horse shoe editor. ‘The Washington entrants will be as- signed to the playgrounds nearest their residences. Matches will be played in the late afternoon—after supper time for most. ‘Where Events Will Be Held. Places where tournaments will be held follow: WASHINGTON. ‘WESTERN SECTION. (Georgetown Division.)

Thus once again Bobby Jones has fought off all the professional golfers in America in the open championship save one man, and this one man is a worthy player equipped to give Jones a great battle. But the odds favor Jones a little because of his previous experi- ence in such conflicts and his splendid game of golf. Jones might have won the title out- right with strokes to spare, but he fal- tered badly in the home ‘stretch, and finally had to do a heroic 4 at the home hole to tie with the professional, who had established his score of 294 about one hour and a half before Bobby came down the fairway to the last hole. The hole that ruined Jones was the ffteenth, where he took a 7, being in trouble with his second, playing his third safe and then knocking his fourth | over the green and into a trap.

BY ALAN J. GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. INGED FOOT CLUB, MA- MARONECK, N. Y., June 29. —OQut on the high perched home green this afternoon, the createst golfer of them all, Bobby Jones, somewhat tired and worn by a bruising battle with par and a record gallery, knelt to study the dif- ficult line of a 12-foot putt on which hung his last hope of staying in the hunt for the open golf championship of the United States. While fully 12,000 spectators fostled, shoved and milled for a peek at the last episode of a dramatic struggle, Jones stepped up briskly, struck the ball and sent it curving beautifully into the cup for a par 4, enabling him to tie with Al Espinosa, after the Atlanta amateur had come perilously close to disastrous elimination. Jones, two-times champion now in his fourth play-off, and Espinosa, pro- fessional of the Sportsmen’s Golf and Country Club of Chicago, now sharing the greatest heights he has ever ex- perienced, tied for the regulation 72 holes at 294 strokes apiece after one of the wildest battles in the history of the tournament. Jones, finishing as poorly as_he started brilliantly, scored 69—75—T71— 79. Espinosa put together rounds of 10—72—177—15. Play It Off Today. ‘Tomorrow they will play off the title at 36 holes, 18 in the morning starting at 10, and 18 in the afternoon at 2 o'clock. Thus, for the second succes- sive year, Jones, with the crown ap- parently perched firmly on his head, permitted it to slip off in the final round for hands to grab and dispute with him. Last year the famous Atlanta am- ateur, in a similarly commanding posi- tion as leader going into the last 18 holes, fritted away 7 strokes on five straight holes, wound up in a tie with Johnny Farrell, also at 294, and then lost the play-off by a stroke at Olympia Fields. Today, with a three-stroke margin over his nearest rival, Gene Sarazen, and four shots ahead of Espinosa, after 54 holes of competition, Jones astonish- ed a gallery of 12,000, the greatest and also probably the most uncontrollable in open championship history, by taking 7s on two holes, the eighth and fif- teenth, then three costly putts on the sixteenth green from only 18 feet. Espinosa Finishes Strong. Espinosa, in the thick of the fight all the way, a co-leader with Saragen after 36 holes, rallied spectacularly himself on the last few holes to post his 204 and take the lead, after an atrocious 8 on the twelfth hole apparently had put him out of the running. But Jomes met a flock of fresh trouble himself, when he seemed to have the title stowed safely away. After Espinosa had finished with a blazing 4—3—4 for his final round of 75 and mnd total of 294, Jones came to the last two holes needing par 4 on each to tle. He played the seven- teenth perfectly, then smashed a long drive down through the dense masses of humanity fringing the eighteenth fairway. His iron, slightly pulled, was hole high, but off the green, a foot from the edge of a trap. and when he chipped a dozen feet short of the cup his chances looked slim. A slight slope to the green required careful calcula- tion, but Bobby had the finishing punch and delivered it, where farther back it looked as if he was himself on the ropes and about to be knocked right out of the tournament. Shute Comes Close. This was exciting enough for the great throng, but there was one more bit of drama as once more Shute, 42- year-old Columbus, Ohio, professional, came along behind Jones to make the one remaining thrust either for the title or a share in the tie. Needing 4—3 or 3—4 to tie Jones and Espinosa on the last two holes, Shute missed his bid for the birdie on the seventeenth by inches. Still game he slugged a tee shot that cleared the last two hillocks and rolled to within 125 yards of the 419-yard ninth. His pitch was straight, but too strong, rolling back over the green among the spectators. Knowing he had to sink the next shot to tie, Shute struck it boldly, but it went well past the cup. His last hope gone, he took a 5 for the hole, 76 for his final round and a grand total of 296 that left him in a tie for third place with Gene Sarazen. The half dozen contenders who fur- nished the main pack of thrills in the closing drige was completed by George Von Elm, “the Detroit amateur, and Tommy Armour, professional fellow townsman. Each wound up with totals of 297 for a tie for fifth position with the rest of the field, as well as a flock of badly beaten favorites, scattered be- hind them, Leo Diegel finished in a tie for eighth at 301. Horton Smith finished ninth with 302. 'Walter Hagen in a tie for nineteenth at 309. Gone and almost forgotten was the 1928 champion, Johnny Farrell, who failed to even have the distinction of competing in the last half of the battle. Distance Too Short. Today's hectic events added weight to the conviction that 72 holes no longer are sufficient to decide the American G{Jen championship. This is the fifth play-off for the crown required in seven years. What is more remarkable, it is the fourth out of these five in which Robert T. Jones, jr., the Atlanta lawyer, has been a participant. Jones won his first open title in 1923 in § play-off with Bobby Cruick- shank. He lost a spectacular play-off with Willile MacFarlane in 1925 at Wor- cester, won the champlonship in 1926 without any extra competition and lost his third play-off to Farrell last year. In 1927, Tommy Armour, who tried gallantly to get into the front line today, beat Harry Cooper at Oakmont in a play-«T, so that tomorrow’s battle is the third encore in a row. It is an entirely new experience, on the other hand for the swarthy, brilliant Espinosa. As a result Jones established himself the favorite tonight with odds of 7 to 5, but he will find Espinosa ready to give him a tussle all the way. The Spaniard came closest to the open title back in 1921, when he finished second with 297, but eight strokes back of the winner, Jim Barnes. In the last four successive open tourna- ments, Es has been no better than ninth. He was fourteenth last year, but was a finalist in the P. G, A, champlonship, losing to Leo Diegel. Jones, playing sensationally in his third round this morning, appeared well on the path to victory when he finish- ed with 71, one under par, for & 54- (Ceontinued on Third Page.)
