SPORTS. Richmond Youth Proves Sensation of Maryland Country Club Golf Tourney HOWELL FAVORITE 10 CAPTURE TITLE Shoots 14Z for Two Rounds. Sasscer Only D. C. Man _in First Flight. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ALTIMORE, Md., July 27.—A new goif star who is destined to be of the first magnitude if he keeps along in the path he has been: traveling for the past two years, was.qn view today in the final day’s play of the Maryland Country Club invitation golf tournament. The new star is Billy Howell, 17-year- old Richmond High Schocl youth, who won the Virginia State amateur title last year and was billed today as the favorite to win the tournament, mainly because of his scintillating golf of yes- terday, when he played 36 holes in 142 strokes, which is exactly par for the testing layout of the Maryland Country , rangy, with a close, compact, swing and a splendid competitive spirit, keen student of the game he loves, Bill Howell has convinced all who watched him beat Tom Sasscer yester- day that here is a youthful star in the making from a State that never has produced a golfer of the first class. His chance to win his first tournament out- side of his own State may be rudely snuffed out in the semi-final round to- day by Alex M. Knapp, star amateur of the Baltimore Country Club. But if the youngster keeps to the same relentless scoring pace that gave.him victories over Karl F. Kellerman and Tom Sas- scer, he should win from Knapp and go on to win the tournament. Seldom have we seen a lad with more golfing promise. He has in his game many of the fundamentals that have made Roland Mackenzie great, and has ore of the winning spirit than Roland ‘The lone Washingtonian to reach the semi-final round in the first flight club is Leroy Sasscer of Indian Spring, who was a member of the Maryland club for many years and knows every twist and quirk of the tricky course. He met Harry Wisotzkey of York, Pa. in the other semi-final today and was a favorite to trounce the stocky Penn- lvanian. It seems there always must be a Basscer mixed up in these Maryland tournaments, and where Tom failed yes- terday, his brother Leroy came through. Leroy is the sole survivor of the four capital entrants who made the first flight. He beat Byrn Curtiss of Indian Spring in the first round, while Karl Kellerman was losing on the nineteenth hole to Howell, and Roger Peacock of Indian Spring fell before the heavy artillery of Knapp in the afternoon. Howell Wins on Nineteenth. Howell was around in 70 in the morning to finish square with Keller- man, and win the match on the nine- teenth when the Columbia lad missed a short putt for the half. Roger Peacock had no chance with Knapp, while Sas- scer was out in 35 in the afternoon to win by 6 and 5 from Harris Jones. The Howell boy is the son of a| prosperous Richmond merchant and has been playing golf only about four years. Seldom have we seen such coolness under fire as he has shown in this| tournament, a factor that is surprising in one so young. His close, compact swing will not permit of much devi- ation from the line, and he maintains that type of swing, even though he isa tall, rangy lad, with some of the awk- ‘wardness of youth still showing through the veneer of the seasoned tournament player. Unless we are far at sea, Washington &nd the Nation are going to hear more about this lad. ‘Two_Washingtonians are left in the third flight. While all have vanished from the second flight, the fourth flight finds two golfers from the Capi- tal still in the running, while one Capi- tal player is left in the fifth flight. Two Washingtonians still_are in the sixth flight, while E. L. Bono of Columbia ‘will uphold the standard of the Capital in the last flight. J. B. Murphy of Columhia won his first march round in the second flight, and was all square at the eighteenth in the second round. But he obligingly topped his tee shot at the last hole and lost the match. Curtis of Indian Spring and Keller- man of Columbia survive in the first flight consolidation. In the second flight consolation R. Mackenzie of Columbia and J. L. Hopkins of Wash- ington were to meet today, while in the third flight A. S. Gardiner of Columbia and Lindsay Stott of Beaver Dam are still going forward. ‘The fourth flight finds E. M. Wallace of Columbia and H. L. Lacy of Manor still going strong, while Robert Gorm- ley of Columbia still survives in the ‘consolation. E. M. McClelland of Manor is the only Washingtonian to survive in the Afth flight, although Joseph O'Hare of Bannockburn and D. L. Thomson of Manor still are in the consolation. Emmert Heitmuller of Indian Spring and Charles J. Doris of Manor are still in the running in the sixth flight, while the consolation finds G. D. Kirkpatrick of Washington and Lloyd Carey of Kenwood still in the struggle. In the seventh flight the Washington survi- vors are confined to E. L. Bono and F. S. Appleman of Columbia and A. L. Duncan of Indian Spring, who are in the consolation.

Arriving in New York aboard the Aquitania with the Wightman Cup team from Great Britain as shipmates, Miss Wills took occasion to comment |on the strength of the invading squad. ‘The English team is a good one it will be hard to beat,” said Miss Wills. They are very good in doubles, they | play so much more of that than singles, |and_have such good teamwork. | “Betty Nuthall is every bit as good | now as she was on her first trip two years ago. Her slump last year was Gue to the experiment of changing from her underhand service to the regular | overhand serve and it is a good one now. In addition to Miss Nuthall the Eng- | lish team, which won the trophy on its own soil last year, consists of | the captain: Mrs. | Phoebe Watson, Mrs. D. C. Shephard Barron and Mrs. L. R. C. Michell, the former Peggy Saunders I Accompanying the members of the | team were Mrs. Arthur Green, who designed a white cloth blazer to identify the team members, and B. C. Covell, husband of the captain, and manager of the team. ‘The blazer, of white cloth, has silver buttons, a Unlon Jack on the breast | pocket and crossed racquets and the year “1928” below the flag. ‘The invaders plan to play not only in the Wightman Cup matches but the Maidstone Club's annual invitation tournament, the women’s national sin- gles and doubles champlonships, the national mixed doubles at Longwood | and team matches in Chicago, Kansas City and San Francisco, in addition to the Pacific Southwest championship, at. | Los Angeles. They will sail for home on | October 9 WRIGHT BEATS DOEG IN CANADIAN TENNIS | TORONTO, July 27—Jack Wright of Montreal or Frank Shields of New York will be the 1929 Canadian tennis cham- pion. They won their way to the final after two exciting matches. Wright, Canada’s No. 1 ranking player, played one of the finest games of his career to eliminate John Doeg | of Santa Monica, Calif., ranked No. 8 | in the United States, 5—'1 , 6—2, 6“—4 ‘The match was p]lyed at'a fast 1! was almost an All-Canadian final, for Willard Crocker of Montreal, in his match with Shields, was within one point of set in both the second and third sets, which he lost, while in the fifth he once was within one point of match and twice only needed two points. In each case, Shields, ranked tenth in the United States, had just enough in reserve to prevent "defeat and ultimately won the most ing match of the cnmpemlon by 4—6, 12— 10, 7—5, 9—17. Mrs. 04 E. Gray and Olive Wade, Toronto sisters, won the women’ doubles championship by defeating Mrs. H. L. Beer and P. Rykert of Ottawa. Miss Wade added to her laurels by winning the nationsl funior champlon- ship. She defeated Miss Betty Oaks of Toronto, 6—0, 6—1. A. 8. Veysey of Montreal and A. D. Noble of Boston qualified for the junior final when_ they defeated G. Munday :lndl Mark Hecht of New York, respec- vely. Veysey defeated Mund-y in straight | sets, 6—2, 6—1, 3, and Noble won | from Hecht by 6—2, 7—5, T—S5. W. L. C. Richardson defeated W. P.| Brodie, 6—3, 6—2, in the veterans’ singles, Mrs. H. F.

A, “Rainmaker” Hansen of Minneap- olis, nationally krown bicycle rider of a quarter of a century ago, is dead here after an illness of t®o years. Hansen established two amateur rec- ords which still stand. They are the 1,000-mile road record of 92 hours 32 minutes and the 24-hour dirt track mark of 376 miles. In 1889 Hansen rode from Minneap- olis to Chicago and return over 800 ; miles of rough roads in less than two | weeks, using a “high wheeler.” Later he made the round iri ln seven da Auto Bndlu, Ra, llm, R-pnud ho N.v R-d B um W:mhn- laoo ltdn Nor!b 711 Also_319_13th,_ TODAY BASE BALLm. o AMERICAN LEAGUE PARK Washington vs. Cleveland .

OOLY MITCHELL, who was to figure in the doubles titular mly today paired with Wil- m Buchanan, will battle for the singles public parks net crown as well tomorrow, when he op- poses the winner of a deferred spmi- fln‘l match scheduled this afternoon veen Bob nsidine, defending pion, and nk Shore, junior champ, at Henry Park courts. The sin- gles final will be staged at 3 o'clock to- morrow on the Rock Creek Park courts, Sixteenth and Kennedy streets. Mitchell yesterday triumphed im- pressively over Maurice C'Nell, title holder in 1923 and '24, #—5 6—4. While points were close, Mitchell ap- peared to have the upper hand most of the time. O'Neil held the edge at 2—1 and again at 5—4 in the opening set, but Mitchell evened things on each occasion and romped through three straight games to annex the set after the ninth stanza. Mitchell in Command. O'Nell started the second set on his own service, which he won on the first and third games, again giving him an edge. From this point, however, it was Mitchell's match. He ran out a 4—2 lead before O'Neil was able to stem the tide momentarily by winning again on his own delivery. Mitchell scored in the eighth and tenth games when he was serving, clinching the match. ‘The Montrose Park star scored some of his most effective points by drawing O'Neil to the net and then handling his kills or attempted placements in such a manner as to leave no roum for argument. On the few occasions when Mitchell advanced to the net, he em- ployed a stop-chop or base-line smash which caught his opponent flatfooted. Judging from yesterday's demonstra- tion, with Considine having a hard time on the next court to keep one jump ahead of Alan Staubley, in a quarter-final tilt, which he finally an- nexed, 8—86. 6—4, it would not be amiss to predict that Mitchell has more than even chances of capturing two public parks crowns within the next two days. He is generally conceded to be stronger than Frank Shore, should the latter upset the defending champ. Perhaps Bob was not extending him- self yesterday. He wasn't at the net as often as expected. But however that | may be, Staubley, gaining an edge in the service toss, led the lanky George Washington ace throughout the first set until games stood at 5—3 and 40—15. Double Faults Decide. Only Staubley’s two costly double faults saved Bob from defeat at this point. Bob subsequently won that game and the next two for a 6—5 edge—his first since the match began. Staubley took his own service to tie the count in the twelfth, but Considine crowded him out in the next two for an 8—6 win. In the second set, Staubley trailed 5—2, then pulled up to the short end of a 5—4 count, only to have his own service annexed for the match game. Mitchell and Buchanan are to battle O'Neil and George Shoemaker at 3 o'clock this afternoon on the Henry Park courts for the doubles champion- ship. While the former team is slightly favored, stiff opposition is expected from the O'Neil-Shoemaker combination. Winners of both the singles and doubles events will be sent to Buffalo to compete in the national public parks championships August 19-24. SPORT S, Playing Ball Up Gets Sure Stop LONG 1RON MAKES COMTALT AFTER PAGSING | | | | BY SOL METZGER. ‘The clubhead on any golf swing, according to Johnny Farrell, travels at its greatest speed as it passes the lowest point of its arc. That is where good drivers tee their ball. On long irons, where stop must be obtained as well as distance. George Duncan plays his ball just beyond this point. The reason is clear when you study the accom- panying sketch. Duncan's iron meets the ball at position 1. At contact a ball does not immediately leave the face of the club. It stays with it, flattens out upon it and then rebounds immediately into its globular form. Thus we see the need of following through. By skidding the iron head through low at contact another result is ob- tained. The ball tends to run up the face of the iron to the position shown at 2. Here the angle of the face is more acute than at 1. That helps to gain elevation. And the Tun up of the ball on this face helps to add bite. There is the secret of sound iron play. GIRL STARS TO VIE IN CHICAGO TODAY CHICAGO, July 27.—When the wom- | en athletes from four corners of the | United States clash today in the stad- | ium at Soldier Field, in the women's national A. A. U. track and field cham- pionships, & thrilling battle between a New Jersey girl and a Chicago com- | i petitor is almost certain to resu't. This event will be the shotput, and & it will be Eleanor Egg, a triple cuampion, | holder of the Metropolitan 100-yard, high jump and shotput marks, "and | Evelyn Perrara of the Illinois Women's | | Mls! Egg is recognized in the East | as one of the most accomplished of | woman athletes, and she had displayed | Such skill that her chances of starring | and winning in her three specialties are pretty generally accepted in this | part of the country. However, Midwest experts declare that Miss Ferrara, though not so celebrated among woman athletes as her Eastern rival, neverthe- | less must be reckoned with, especially in the shotput event, since she has re- | cently made some remarkable throws | in trials. ‘The Metropolitan Association of the | A.

Flying the ROBIN GULF RIDE OIL DIEGEL SETS PACE INTITLE DEFENSE Stroke Ahead as Last Round of Canadian Open Golf Tourney Starts. BY BRIAN BELL, Assoctated Press Bports Writer. ANAWAKI, Quebec, July 27.—If Leo Diegel can finish a golf task as he started it, he will find fame in plenty awaiting him. The defending champion, who has won the Canadian open crown three times, can make it four by a snappy finish in the fimal 36 holes today. Starting the crucial third round, the lone pro from Mexico was @ stroke in front of the field, with a count of 137 for the first 36 holes. There were 79 others playing the final day. but only a score or so were conceded a chance to overhaul the flying Leo. ‘Tommy Armour, the black Scot, with 138, stood by pick up stray strokes, and Bill Mehlhom was only 2 back, with 140. Jim Barnes, who set the early pace, slipped in the second round, but was close enough to be dangerous, with 2 count of 141, as was Billy Burke, ‘credited with 142. Not so _close, but in position to come with a fast drive should the leaders falter, were two Canadian pros, E Wakelam and Harry Towlson, and a flock of stars from the United States, including Horton Smith, Joe Kirkwood, Wiffly Cox, Emmett French, Walter Hagen, Jack Forrester, John Golden, Charlie Lacy, Al Watrous, Craig Wood, Tommy Kerrigan and MacDonald Smith. Under the system of permitting all within 20 strokes of the leader to con- tinue the competition, the officials faced a task in handling the field of 80 for 36_holes. It looked as if it would be nightfall ‘when Horton Smith holed his final putt. He and Willie Lamb, Canadian P. G. A. c?llmman, start their third round at Scores of the leaders: Leo Diegel.
