SPORTS. THF FEVENING STAR. WXSHINGTON Fooi Ball Star Wins Horsesh “BOW WOW” MYERS BEATS EX-MINNEAPOLIS CHAMPION Murray Johnson, Feared as Melropo]{lan Crown Contender, Among Plaza Winner’s Victims, Two Other Champs Returned. NAME familiar to every Washington foot ball fan flashed out today from the long list of those competing in the metropoli- tan horseshoe pitching tournament sponsored by The Wash- ington Star. Add to the list of athletic achievements of John “Bow Wow” Myers of independent gridiron fame, the winning of the barnyard golf championship of the Plaza playground neighborhood. Myers today was safely over one of the toughest spots in the great tournament, which embraces 200 towns and communities of Southern Maryland, Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia. The Plaza preliminary drew several of the most formidable players OH,MAN! “HeLLopIACK' How's% ' h e‘GgB"\(At? You'RE LOOKING entered in Washington. In the list of Myers' victims was at Teasi. one pitcher who was regarded as a strong contender for the Metropolitan ecrown, This chap, Murray .Johnson, is the owner of a pocketful of horse- shoe pitching medals won in the Middle West and one of them records a championship triumph in the annual | city tournament of Minneapolis, Minn. | Star Goes Out Quickly. | Johnson was beaten barely had he ! started against Myers, who threw six | ringers, doubling’ 'em up in two instances. The dope was splattered | all over the place when the ex-Minne- | apolis champ fell by the wayside in an | early round. | In the semi-finals, Myers eliminated | C. M. Knocky, 21 to 6, and by the same | measure polished off Theodore Murray | in the final. The finalists will carry | on into the Plaza division play-off starting next Thursday, in which will play also the champions and runners-up of the Edmonds, Hayes, Ludlow and| Peabody Playgrounds and of Greenback | Lane. “Bow Wow,” whose sobriquet may have been born of the bulidog game he plaved at center in foot ball, is 8 hit- or-miss specialist as slinger of hoss- shoes.

He grips the shoe well down from the heel calk and throws a low, swift “liner,” the slipper making a three- quarter turn and “opening” reaches the peg. ~When Myers miss the stake the shoe carries on indefi- nitely. Two other neighborhood champions were crowned vesterday. At the Ketch- am playground, Will Bragerod nosed out S. Howard, 21 to 18, in the final | and at the Cooke plavground, J. Kiine put the bee on J. Birthright for | the title, 21 to 19. | A battle that held the interest of | many at Rosedale was that between the | famous bowler, Jack Whalen, and his pal, Carroll Daley. Whalen struggled all the way to win by 21 to 20. Bruce Neill, chairman of the tourna- ment at Fredericksburg, Va., announces C. S. Sornberger as the champion, What apoeared for a while to be a battle io the finish in the Cleveland Park tournament resulted in a decisive victory for Dan Wheeler over R. H. Brown, 50 to 28. It was a see-saw Af- fair up to fhe twenty-eighth point when Brown's game went flooey. . In | other Cleveland Park matches | Calvert defeated L. 8. Waldron, to | 27, and W. F. Hoppe trimmed R.

This time also it was a Californian who brought the winning streak of the 37-year-old Philadelphia veteran to an end, and John Doeg, 20-year-old Stan- | ford University sophomore, stands as the holder of the massive challenge bowl on which are inscrieed the names of Wil- liam Tilden, Vincent Richards, Howard | Kinsey and John Van Ryn. ‘The d of the veteran interna- tionalist, who.was playing tennis in Switzerland before Doeg had been born, and who won the Achelis Cup here in 1914, 1915 and 1916, was accomplished in three sets, 6—3, 7—S, .

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, August 3.—In the Seabright tournament, where one may always meet more ten- nis authorities than anywhere outside the great national championship events, one caught very | clearly two angles of the amateur prob- lem. Pirst you heard criticisms of players who spend their time hopping from one tourney to another in various scetions of the country, contributing their dis- inguished presence to the drawing qual- ity of the events. And on the other hand, complaint | was voiced about players whose amateur | spirit was so keen that they appeared— at Seabright, for instance—or did not | appear, as sulted their sweet will. The barnstorming amateurs have been covering this season, as in the past, an | immense amount of territory; in some cases they have had time to play but in one or two rounds, when, like Arabs, they have silently stolen away to some other point hundreds of miles remote. In return they receive “expenses.” Just how much money they receive depends, it would seem, upon their imagination in making up the swindle sheets, The feeling seems to be that this will have | 10 be stopped. But how? The only answer is the echo of the question, Then, at the other extreme, we have such a player as Miss Helen Wills, whose non-appearance at Seabright was re- | gretied. Miss Mills selected the tourney at Maidstone, which starts today. But | this engagement would not have kept | her away from Seabright had she want- | ed to play there. But evidently she did | not want to. And whose business was that but hers? Being an amateur she conceivably had a perfect right to play or not to play as she saw fit. It is hard to project the simon-pure amateur spirit and retain popularity. | A year or so ago Miss Wills enatered a | tourney at Los Angeles. Arriving there | she found that she had been assigned | to play at an hour favorable to maxi- mum_gate receipts, but not suitable to the champion’s plans. So she returned to Berkeley without playing. She has not since been invited to Los Angeles. For some reason she found it inexpe- dient or undesirable to enter at Sea- \ How Overlapping Golf Grip Is Used BY SOL METZGER. ‘The overlapping grip seems to be the one that has proven most suc- cessful.

Tourney. | RS. RUTH MARTINEZ was to | meet Frances Krucoff at 3| o'clock this afternoon on the | Columbia Country Club courts to decide fhe District of Co- | lumbia singles tennis champlonship | for women. A drama of the nets lies behind those 28 words. The story of the rise of a new star from the ranks of the “comparative unknown” at one jump. | And behind that, the story of pcl’.u-‘ verance, purpose and pluck. One does not develop a game from the novice | class to championship mettle in less | than two years without that trio. Mrs. | Martinez, who last year was just an- other “early victim” adn today is final- ist in the major event of the District, has_them all. She showed it in her match yester- | day with Phoebe Moorehead, District | League titleholder and Washington City runner-up, whom she downed in a thrilling battle, 6—3, 3—6, 8—6. It took pluck to fight her way out of | the hole when the seeded favorite had her 5—3 and match point in the third |set. Mrs. Martinez accomplished that | feat and deserves double credit for its | accomplishment. upon her first appear- | ance in semi-final play of a District title event, Game Much Tmproved. Steady application to the business of l:arning the game, competent instruc- tion during the past year from Otto Glocker and Jimmie Mitchell, and the untiring co-operation of her husband in giving her daily practice, reaped their first harvest during the past two wesks, for Mrs. Martinez, first when she went | to the semi-finals at White Sulphur, | and during the past five days, as she | has advanced steadily to the champion- ship goal &t the District nets. Perhaps the challenger will not be victorious today. She has met Miss Kru- coff before and been vanquished by her. But she should give her a good run And there are other days for Mrs. Martinez, if she continues to advance | #s :he has begun. 1 Miss Moorhead piayed a heady game | yesterday, and in the second set pushed | | her net ‘attack so successfully that she was easily in command of the situation. | Mrs. Martinez drove so deep to the| corners in the third set, however, that | Miss Moorhead was forced to abandon | | her forecourt game, at which she excels | all others in the city. i | 771t was the most interesting match of | | the tournament from the spectator’s | standpoint. | Prances Krucoff was extended in her first, set. with Joe Dunham. who led her at 4—3. but couldn't hold the pace. The | second set, Miss Krucoff gained with comparative ease, though not without being on her toes for every point. Doubles Champions Advance.

By the Associated Press. STELLE 1V, the British “Hush- Hush” motorboat with which Miss Betty Carstairs hopes to capture and take back to Eng- land the International Speed Trophy, to be raced for at Detroit, has reached this side of the Atlantic still mostly a_mystery. Instead of being unloaded from the steamship Arabic in New York, as was expected, the craft was taken off at Halifax and has been shipped for final tests at Lake Muskoka, Ontario, prior to being sent to Detroit. Gar Wood, winner of the speed trophy last yea will lead the defense by American speed Kings in the races, starting August 31. Miss Carstairs, who will arrive in the United States shortly, confidently expects Estelle IV -not only to better the speed of 93.123 miles per hour, attained by Gar Wood in Miss America VII at Miami Beach a few months ago, but to actually attain a speed of 105 miles per hour. One of the most interesting features of the new craft is its sturdy hull. It | welghs 3,400 pounds without engines or equipment. The “sewn plank” sys- tem, that is, planks sewn together with copper wire, is used to keep the sides as light and flexible as possible. The new boat has an outer shell of horizontal planks, with a layer of oiled canvas separating these from the inner lining of diagonal planking. ‘Three 1,000-horsepower engines, driv- ing three propellers, are the power plant of the Esfelle IV. Each engine has three carburetors and its own gaso- line, oil and water supply. The boal thus has in effect three separate power plants, controlled from the dashboard by _three levers, one for each engine. ‘To make steering easier the Estelle IV has been equipped with two syn- chronized rudders, one of them being in the middle of the hull, well forward of the turning propellers. She is 35 feet long, with a beam of 91 feet, and has three bucket seats in the control position, one for Miss Carstairs at the wheel, another for the mechanic and a third for the man who will watch the gauges on the dashboard.
