‘ 'Mangih Is Beaten in College Net Final : Golf Clubs I DEFEATED BY BELL IN AS-SET MATCH Georgetown Racketer Gives Way After Having’Tifle Almost in Grasp. Texas another intercollegiate Jawn tennis chamionship of the United States when he defeated Gregory Mangin of Georgetown Uni- versity in a five-set match, after one of the greatest uphill struggles the col- lege tournament has scen at the Mer- fon Cricket Club. Two years ago Wilmer Allison, now in Europe with the Davis Cup team, won the college singles for the Lone Star State. Bell wears the crown which for the past year was worn by Julius Seligson of Lehigh University, who was com- pelled to default to Bell in a semi- final match yesterday, when he failed to appear, believing, because of the rain, competition had been called off. Changing his style of play after dropping the first two sets to Mangin, 6—2, 6—3, Bell returned in the third set to conduct himself on the court like a different player. In the first two sets he tried to rely on a slice or an under- hand chop stroke to take the offensive, but that was not a sharp enough weapon for the cool, accurate George- town star. In the third set Bell re- sorted to a hard, flat drive, which scored placement after placement for him Mangin felt himself slipping ,and in turn did not play with his character- istic smoothness.” While the first two sets was a back court battle, the third set saw both players going to the net, with Bell the better of the two. In the fourth set, Bell's scorching gervice proved faithful to him and the stream began to run harder against Mangin. Mangin was carried backward by ‘Bell's brilliance in the fifth frame. He was able to make but weak resist- ance to the shots the Texan was shoot- ing over. Mangin did rally to win two games, but these rallics were short- lived and the Southern youth swept through the eighth game to take the set and the match. Mangin Wins in Doubles. Although beaten in the singles final Gregory Mangin, Georgetown favorite, became a finalist in the doubles along with his teammate, Emmett Pare, when the Hilltop pair defeated John Doeg and Lawrence Hall of Stanford in a hard- fought match, 6—3, 4—6, 2—6, 6—3, 6—2. ‘The Western team had two sets to one and it appeared to be on its way to victory when the intermission be- tween the third and fourth sets was called. Mangin and Pare returned to win the final two sets, easily beating the Stanford pair in the final set. In the other doubles semi-final Gor- chakoff and Kussman, Occidental, de- feated Bell and Barnes, Texas, 4—6, 4—6. 11—9. 75, 6—4. The final set of the doubles will be played tomorrow. 12-FOOT FINAL PUTT PUTS BOBBY EVEN ‘(Continued From First Page.) hole total of 215, where Sarazen and alipped b o 18 'ahgxs“mm' cf 18 an , T ve- ly. Up to the eighth holes of the final round, too, it looked like a cinch for Jones, even with par and off to the best start of any of his rounds, but disaster was just ahead. ‘The eighth is a dogleg, 439-yard lay- out, with the green cunningly trapped to absorb any shot that is off the line. Jones hit what looked like a perfect iron to the green, but it hit near the edge and rolled off into a trap. Ex- , ploding out, he shot the ball clear across the green into another trap, then blast- ed back to just where he was before, while the crowd gasped. He barely ex- ploded in five and took two putts for a 7. A birdie 4 at the ninth saved him a stroke, where his chip shot for an eagle rimmed the cup, but he lost ground and strokes steadily thercafter. Three times he missed putts of 4 or 5 feet for birdies, but he was over the green on the tenth, as well as the thir- teenth, two short holes that cost him four each. ‘Then came the crowning blow, on the fifteenth, where his drive landed in the rough behind a tree. He chipped out safely, but then shot his third well be- yond the green, missed the chip back, Tolled the next up to within 5 feet of the cup and missed the putt. It was another 7. Two great shots to the six- | teenth were wasted by three putts, and it took all the well known Jones pres- sure to save himself on the last two holes. Espinosa, after traveling out on his last round in par figures, 36, was on the verge of a complete collapse as he lost fve strokes to par on the tenth, eleventh and twelfth. The climax was the twelfth, a par 5 layout, 497 yards. His drive was hooked back of a trap.: Try- ing to get home, he used a spoon and landed in a trap on the thirteenth fair- way. He took a mongrel mashie and reached his third trap. His niblick was short and he finally reached the green in 5. Three putts completed the catastrophe and gave him a weird 8. Any doubts about the stoutness of Espinosa’s courage were dispelled by the way he settled down grimly to reel off the last six holes in 22, two under par, the greatest finish of the day. He had birdies on the sixteenth, as well as seventeenth, and on the home green he had close to a 20-foot putt for another birdie 3 that, as it turned out, would have given him the championship with 293, had he made fit. YANK BEATS BRITON IN MOTOR BOAT RACE| By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, June 20—America, rep-| resented by Ralph Snoddy of Los An- geles and his speed boat, Miss Ricocco, Third, ran away with the Duke of York’s trophy in the international mo- tor boat meeting on the Thames, which ended today. Snoddy's speedster made a clean sweep of the three heats for the trophy with ease. Getting away last in the final heat today, Miss Ricocco soon rushed into the lead and won by nearly a full lap of four nautical miles. The boat is owned by James Talbot. The three successive victories gave Snoddy a total of 12 points in th scoring, while his closest British com- petitor, the Newg, driven by Betty Carstairs, scored only 4 points. Newg finished second in the first two heats ‘Thursday and Friday, but developed motor trouble early in today’s race and driven by Jack Brooke, came ond in the final run. One other | entry started today, but it also was forced out by bad ditions on the -/ river. Miss Ricocco sped over the bad | water at a rate of 44.11 miles an hour. | , The Duke of York's trophy has been in competition . annually 1921, But only once before has it been e..g; | tured by America. In 1927 Snod ! piloted his craft to the first American Victows. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D O, AMERGANSSEIRE INBRTISHTEANS Tilden, Lott and Three Fair Sex Players Survive in Singles. By the Assoclated Press, IMBLEDON, England, June 29.—With George Lott of Chicago winning in straight sets today, the United States has two of its representatives among the eight surviving contenders for the English tennis championship in men’s singles. Bill Tilden and the youthful Lott, who played brilliantly in eliminating Jan Kozeluh by scores of 6—4, 6—I, 6—4, a double-barreled American threat in the quarter-finals in each half of the draw. France has three of its men in the charmed circle of eight—Henri Cochet, Jean Borotra and Pierre Landry—while a young Englishman, H. W. Austin; a titled Hungarian, Baron von Kehrling, and a red headed Dutchman, Hans Tim- mer, complete the list. In the women's singles the end of the first week of the classic tournament finds Helen Wills, Helen Jacobs and Mrs, May Sutton Bundy, all of California, still keeping the United States in the | running. England also holds three berths of the eight with Miss E. A. Cold- sack, Mrs. C. G. McIllquham and Joan Ridley in the quarter-finals. The South Africans, Bobby Heine and Ruth Tap- scott, make up the rest of the bracket. Also Aim in Doubles. In the doubles events, Tilden and Frank Hunter, Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn, Lott and John Hennessey, Miss Wills and Edith Cross, Mrs. Bundy | and Marjorle Morrill and Elizabeth Ryan, former Californian, who is paired with Betty Nuthall of England, are left to represent the U. §. A. with third- round play completéed. The Wills-Cross combination dropped a set today in win- ning, 6—1, 5—7, 6—1, from Mrs. Molla Mallory and Miss Desmidt, a United States-South African team. 7. s fine tennis against Kozeluh pro- vide: _one of the principal highlights of today’s play, the match sharing singles | interest only with a five-set battl® which H. W. Austin, Cambridge Univer- sity c-glain last season, finally won from Charles Kingsley, Oxford captain sllx zenrs ago, 6—2, 4—6, 6—1, 4—86, Although Lott landed in England only | a week ago and had but two practice | sessions before starting play in the | tournament he gave evidence that he become almost entirely acclimated | by the manner in which he polished off the diminutive Czech, a brother of | Karel Kozeluh, great professional player. | The Czech had & beautiful style and | a fine assortment of shots, but a weak | service largely because the American | was_over-hitting his shots, Kozeluh led | 8t 3—2 in the opener and the court was 40-love in the sixth game when | Lovee settled down and captured it to draw level and from that time on the American led. | Stage Great Duel. The other outstanding singles match, | that between Austin and Kingsley, was | watched breathlessly by the huge Sat- | urday afternoon crowd which gave both | players a tremendous ovation when they finished their exciting duel. | After a dreary, two-hour baseline contest between Timmer and an Eng- | lishman, Sharpe, which the Dutch player finally won, 6—1, 3—6, 6—0 11—9, Miss Wills and Miss Cross met Mrs. Mallory, their American com- patriot, and the little South African, Miss Desmidt, in a battle which ex- tended the Californians to their best efforts, Even then they could not keep Mrs. Mallory, with her strategy, and Miss Desmidt, with her youhthful enthusiasm combined with a generous amount of all-court skill, from taking the second set, 7—5. Miss Cross played a strong game to back up Miss Wills’ steady, hard-hitting play and contributed some particularly werful and accurate drives down the sidelines. ‘The quarter-final matches are to be distributed through the coming week, with the finals in all events on Satur- day. The singles line-up sends Cochet against Timmer, Tilden vs. Landry, Borotra vs. Lott and Autin vs. Von 3 ‘Wills vs. Miss Heine, Miss Goldsack vs. Miss Tapscott, Mrs. McIllquham vs. Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Bundy vs. Miss Ridley. —————— MANY LINKS NEAR CHICAGO. ‘There are 265 golf courses within a radius of 50 miles of the center of the city of Chicago, Some 50 of these | Th Tired but Unbeaten, Army Net Vet Defaults Semi-final play for the Army singles net title and the coveted Sheridan Cup will get under way at 3 o'clock this afternoon with Maj. R. C. Van Vliet, defending champion, facing Lieut. John W. Strahan, the Reserve Corps racketer who captured the championship two years ago, and Maj. Thomas Finley, athletic officer at the United States Military Academy, opposing Lieut. E 8. Baker, also of the Reserve Corps. Lieut. Baker figured in one of the two most spectacular matches of the tournament yesterday when he played Col. Wait C. Johnson, veteran Army star, to a standstill in a_marathon con- test of more than two hours' duration. As a matter of fact, it was never com- pleted, Col. Johnson conceding the #ictory to his youthful opponent after he had carried the match to three sets, bowing to Baker in the first, 3, taking the second at 6—2, and t%en battling to a 12—12 tie in the third at which point he called time. Both Col. Johnson and Licut. Baker were visibly worn by thz long griyi, but the colonel, who is noted for his endurance, declared {vat had "t not been for a badly blistered foot, he would have fought it out to the finish. The committee decided, in view of the cir- cumstances, however, to accept the default, conceding the victory to Baker. Third Set Endurance Test. 1f there has ever been a more thrill- ing match played.in an Army or other local championship than that in which these two displayed their wares yester- day, the!story of it has not been recorded. Despite his 52 years, Col. Johnson rushed the net as is his usual custom, scoring brilliantly on his over- head placements and skiliful stop-shots. Baker played mostly in the backcourt, on the other hand, displaying equal bril- liance in his line placements and his re- markable recoveries. Not only was the game score elongated, but each point was an endurance test, especially in the crit- ical set. With the score standing set-all and 12—11 in games, Col. Johnson Endurance Test worked his way to match point three times, only to find Baker on his toes | each time back to deuce, and finally annexing the game on the colonel’s delivery. Lieut. Baker had won a preliminary ‘ound match from Lieut. E. S. Matthews, 6—0, 9—7 earlier in the day. Finley Beats Hills. In another three-set match Maj. Finley nosed out Maj. Huntington Hills, the lone Washington survivor of preliminary play. Maj. Finley took the opening set at 6—4, and, after Hills had | him in a 5—2 hole, climbed out to_even things at 5—5 in the second. From t.h?n it was a nip-and-tuck battle until Hills finally drove home the winning point at 10—8. In the third sé{ Finley piled up a 5—2 lead at which pdint. his opponent did some climbing out of the “eellar,” coming within a narrow margin of tieing the count before Finley suc- ceeded in closing in for a 6—4 victory. Maj. Van Vliet reached the semi- finals with the loss of but one game, in his quarter-final encounter with John Pitman whom he bested 6—0, 6—1. Lieut. Strahan had little trouble in tak- ing the measure of Lieut. S. K. Robin- son, one of the “comers” in the tourney who could not combat his opponent's deceptive chop-drive coupled with su- perior court experience. The score was 6—0, 6—2. g Doubles Matches Today. Two doubles matches are scheduled for this morning at 10 o'clock. In one of them, Lieuts. Strahan and Baker will fact Lieuts. Robinson and Sherburne while in the other Col. Johnson and Lieut. Hedekin will meet Maj. W. E. Sheed and Maj. R. E. Walsh. Finals of the singles are carded for tomorrow afternoon, probably at 3 o’clock. Doubles semi-finals will be played ‘Tuesday, weather permitting, and the final doubles match, on Wednesday afternoon. Good Cure for Topping Drive BY SOL METZGER. In a round the other day most of my tee shots on the first nine were topped. I thought it was due to looking up too soon. But after I had tried a few practice shots and had overcome that natural tendency to see th= ball fly before one actual- ly hits it, I still continued to top. The local champion then offered a AODRESS BALL AS SHOWN 11 PREVENAS -gppms = £l Mefys) suggestion. “Address the ball like this,” he said, placing the face of the driver about 6 inches back of the ball and a bit inside the line of flight, “and you'll find that you'll get your club in back of the ball as you come down.” 1t's a bully idea. You see, in ad- dressing it in this way you force your- self to hit through the ball from the inside from a low point a half- foot back of it. The result is that you tend more to throw the club- head through the ball, as one should to drive well. HARVARD FOUR WINS COLLEGE POLO TITLE e By the Associated Press.

An American has not wen since 1882 when Foxhall, owned by James R. Keene, came in first. R. L. A. REEVES, well known Indian Spring southpaw golfer, did not think much of Dr. E. R. Tilley'’s tee shot. Both being professional men-—in allicd lines of work—they could josh each other with impunity and without hard feeling. So Reeves saw Tilley approaching to play a match in the Congressional tourney last week, and thinking to joke | Tilley into a sharp reply, said: “Doc, I don't think you're such a hitter. Bet you can't knock your first tee shot 200 yards.” “You don't think much of your money. do you, Reeves?” Tilley replied. “I'll show you how far I can knock ‘em. Monro Hunter has nothing on me.

Conklin, Wichita dentist, has pat- ;n{fd a* device to wash and dry golf alls, “A clean, bright ball for every stroke” is the claim he makes for an oblong box he has invented. By turn- | ing a small crank the ball is fo between a series of revolving brushes immersed in water. Then a set of dry brushes finishes the process. Dr. Conklin believes the demand for cleaft golf balls should make the idea popular among golfers who can't afford new pellets every time they soil one. WCRARY UPSETS MAYTAG IN GOLF Des Moines Youth Captures Trans-Mississippi Title in Grueling Match. BY PAUL R. MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. MAHA, Nebr., June 29.—Bobby McCrary, fighting Scot from Des Moines, Iowa, is the new transmississippi golf champion. Fighting a strong south wind that mud&esood golf almost impossible and a more experienced opponent, he captured the crown today by upsetting Bud Maytag of Newton, Iowa, 2 and 1, in a gruelling 35-hole fight on the championship Omaha Field Club course. It was his first golf victory of im. portance and it terminated his success- ful march through four of the best shot-makers of the tournament, which started Monday. Too, it was a “natural” triumph for it was McCrary who shoved the defending champion, Arthur Bartlett of Ottumwa, Iowa, out of the cham- pionship round with a brilliant 2 up victory on Thursday. ‘With a terrific wind lashing the course and making good golf almost impossible, it was bc'dness that counted today and the sandy Sgotchman had the most of it and won. He spanked his drives harder from the tees, pitched for one putt and rolled his green strokes for the lip of the cup. Maytag, always a careful player, took the ordinarily safe method until he became almost hope- Jes—'y behind. Then, he too became bold and fought a valiant battle, but the come-back started too late. Maytag, a millionaire washing ma- chine manufacturer, excelled his youth- ful and diminutive opponent in only one department today, and that was with his woods. Throughout the match his drives split the fairway, while Mc- ‘s long clouts were alternately ng. : -='ght or wild. The new champion was victorious be- cause of his better play in the 18-hole morning round. He started out by winning the first two holes with a birdie 3 and a par 4 and while he was tied at the end of the first nine holes, he was never headed.

Scores made in the event for the Southgate cup also may apply in the competition for the golf committee cup. Every golfer at some time ‘or other has been so disgusted with the game that he swore he would not play again and offered to give away his clubs. But seldom has the threat become an actual- ity, The caddie of Dr. W. V. Connors of Manor took the genial Maporite literally last Wednesday when Dr. Con- nors pulled the time-worn line that he was going to quit the geme and give away his gveapons. He took it so literally that when g. Connors came out to play in the Congressional tournament on Thursday his clubs were not to be found, and he assumed the boy had be- lieved him and made off with his clubs. So Connors had to borrow a set of clubs with ghich to continue play in the tourney. Latest dispatches from the war i relate that Connors still is looking Tor his wegpons——and the caddie who took him literally. ‘Two queer incidents happened in the Congressional tourney that illustrate the necessity for knowledge of the of golf. And strangely enough both happened in the same golf match. J. L. Richards of Congressional and J. C. Johnson of Beaver Dam were ired in a first round match in the fifth flight. On the fifth the two balls lay close to each other, but not close enough for the near ball to be lifted. Richards was away and he putted his ball into the cup, but in the follow through of the stroke his club struck Johnson's ball and knocked it away. They were undecided as to the ity, and “told Y ney he enters he is goin Out of all the field o{h mearly 300 layers who started ¢ e Congres- :mnfl tourney only gen contestants were able to make 5s on the 623-yard tenth hole. Many of them played through the rain, it is but in such a stellar fleld it is uhusual that not more than seven men 5s on this hole. M. Parker Nolan had the highest mark on the hole—a 14, scored when he put his fourth shot in the quarry at the left and short of the green. He reached the putting urface in 12 shots, after losing a ball in the fearsome hazard. “Why is it?” asks Walter W. Cun- ningham of Burning Tree, “that I can play the local courses in the low 70s, sometimes drop into the 60s, in friendly matches and the minute I get in a big time competition my score runs above 80?” Cunningham cites rounds below 70 made at Burning Tree, Wash- ington and Town and Country as proof of the contention that he can break 70 and play well in matches where o5 | nothing in particular hangs on the result He says that whenever he goes into a big tournament he gets tightened up, mentally and physically, and that he is unable thereby to show his true me. is it?” he wails. And “Red” swears that in the next big tour- gato be loose with all his shots and avoid that fatal tightening-up process. ~But Cunning- ham is not alone. Johnny Farrell did the same thing| in the first round of the open, tighten- ing ughlnd hooking all his tee shots until score had run up to 84 blows for the opening round and his cham- plonship had gone away off by itself. ‘The next big tournament for the local amateur brigade is the Sherwood Forest event, which will b2 held during mid- July over the rugged course high above the Severn River near Annapolis. The o] week will come the Maryland Country Club invitation event. In both tournaments a number of Washington players usually compete, Charles W. Cole, jr., of Indian Spring, who is a student at George Washington University. is spending the Summer far away from scenes of bunkered fair- ways and tricky putting greens. As soon as the Columbia tournament was over, Cole started west to meet a group of youthful friends in the foothills of the Rockies and camp out through Colorado, Utah and New Mexico during July and August. k in He will be bacl Washington in time to resume studies. Milton D. Hine of Columbia does not believe a hole is lost just because his opponent happens to kneck the ball wit five teet of the cup and his own ball goes careening off many yards from the line to find a billet in rougx. Hine was playing the short thirteenth at Columbia the other day. and his opponent knocked his ball within five feet of the cup. while Hine's tee shot was badly sliced into the fair- way on the hill at the twelfth. Being of ‘a sanguine disposition, he pitched th2 ball over a mound into the cup to win the hole with a birdle 2 when his opponent missed the putt for the half.

The entry list is the largest in mm of women’s golf about Wash- n. A small group of Washington golf professionals are to play tomorrow in a sweepstakes golf event over the course of the Catoctin Country Club near Frederick, Md. The affair is one of the regular tourneys listed by the Middle fizlnuflc Professional Golfers’ Associa- n. An odd father and son combination turned up in the Congressional Country Club tournament, finding the Taylors— Dr. Bruce L. and hiis son, B. L. Tayler, and the Quigleys of th: Harper Coun- try Cluh, father and son, all tangled up in family strife. They all qualified in the fourth flight of the tournament and the battle was on. In the first match lay round the younger Taylor defeated the junior Quigley, and the eider Quig- ley won his match, while Dr. (and senior) Taylor lost in the first round. In the afternoon of the first day of match play the senior Quigley downed the junior Taylor. So the junior Quigley and the senior Taylor went into the consolation. And they met yesterday in the semi-final round, with the senior Taylor vietorious by 4 and 3. =~ Quite & family mix-up. But it was all in fun. Alex (Sandy) Armour of Congres- sional comes to bat with a plea for more and_stricter observance of the rules of golf, How many ttimes-Armour —an authority on rules—was approach- ed in the fonal tourney with re- quests for rulings he does not know, but he estimates he was asked his judgment some two score times. And that does not include the many who thrashed out the rules away off by themselves out on the golf course. Even ths professionals are not immune from infractions of the rules. One prominent local pro suggested to us recently that it would be & good idea if the fes- sionals met once a week, took rule book section by section and learned all the rules by heart, with the explana- tions for them given by such old timers in the game as Armour or Fred McLeod. The Congressional Country Club tournament was played under strict United States Golf Association rules, except where they were modified local rules which applied only because of the heavy rain which fell on three of the four tournament days. Yet we saw one pair in the first flight not playing stymies “by agresment among themselves.” The logical question to ask is whether they can “by agreement” waive the same set of rules under which the other competitors are playing. George F. Miller of Manor and Roger Peacock of Indian Spring, who uedflgr low medal score in the Congressional tourney with cards of 75. are to play off the tle at ssional today in an 18-hole medal play match.
