20 YOUNG WIZARD RINGS ’EM 'MOST ANY OLD FASHION Holder of Nine World Records Throws Ringers in Bunches and Some Blindfolded—Metro Tourney Stars Drill for Play-offs.

't the greatest hoss-shoe flinger, he is at now in his early twenties, held nine world records at last accounts, which was some time back. SPORTS. D Mossman Phenomenal Horseshoe Pitcher : Morgan Asks Big Sums to Risk Title ) 30 double ringers in one game. 39 ringers in 40 shoes pitched. 47 ringers in 50 shoes pitched. 85 ringers in 100 shoes pitched. 10 straight double ringers. 35 double ringers in 100 shoes pitched. 268 points in 100 shoes pitched. The young Middle Westerner is a eolorful showman, too. He throws ring- ers on a moving stake; throws em blin folded; while a man is standing on the stake (what great difference the man would make isn't quite clear); thrcws em when a blanket several fect in front hides the ‘stake; tosses with consum- mate skill with five different holds and turns; and rings the stake without breaking a glass tumbler set a few inches in front of the peg. But these are only a few of his tricks. The horseshoe editor saw Mossman, in an exhibition at Tampa, Fla, light a match fastened to the peg with one rirger and put it out with a ringer on tre next toss. Between exhibition games he throws in a few acrobatic stunts the while ex- plaining that's his method of keeping in physical trim. ‘Earl Pryor, it would appear, conducted the Tuxedo, Md., tournament largely f¢ his own benefit.

Hooven cleaned up the crowd at Lyon Park, V. but collectively they put the bee on him. After the tournament Hooven Yeceived so many challenges that he decided to take 'em on in bunches. He pitched one group of eight, which meant that he tossed one shoe to the enemies’ eight. He lost, 21 to 12. At Lyon Park they believe Hooven | will be a star in the Arlington County | finals at Clarendon a week from to- MOrrow. MANY STARS PITCH | IN LAKELAND EVENT| Star horseshoe pitchers abound at| Lakeland, Md., according to Arthur A.‘ Greene, general chairman of the col-| ored metropelitan tournament. Due probably to overconfidence, Ray- mond Wallace, the town ace, went down to a stinging defcat in his first game with Geuggcgwalls. ‘Wallace, with the game firmly in his grip, permitted it| to slip away in the last inning by a| prilliant finish on the part of Walls. ‘The same pair will meet again today, and Walls claims he will eliminate the| star.

TRACK MEET, BALL GAME | ON SAME CARD SUNDAYI A track meet, followed by a base ball game, will be held at the Polo Field in Potomac Park Sunday by the newly or- ganized Postal Telegraph Cycle_Club. It will initiate its cinder path schedule in the meet at 9 o'clock in the morning. Palisade Juniors and the Mackays will | face on diamond No. 7 at 1 o'clock on the same card. Seven events will be included in the meet—quarter, half and 3-mile races for boys under 16 and 1, 2 and 10 mile Taces for those over that age. A miss- and-out race also will be staged. Twenty prizes, including two wrist watches, will be awarded the winners. Tocal bicycle dealers, including Mount Vernon Bicyele Co., Cy Caufl- man’s, Harry Seamarks and Hazelton & Tnroop, also have donated prizes, as well as the Postal Telegraph Co. and the United States Rubber Co. OAKBROOKS, MIDWICKS IN POLO EVENT FINAL CHICAGO, August 16 (#).—The 1929 intercifcuit polo championship rests between the Oakbrooks of Chicago and the dashing Midwicks of Pasadena, Calif.

NEMESIS, ARISES Texas Ban on Ring Battles May Again Bring War on Promoters. By the Assoclated Press. s ranger, at odds for almost ars, again have come to grips through Gov. Dan Moody's dictum that the glove game is taboo under his regime. Almost since there was a State, rangers have divided their time be- tween wars on Texas bad men and sporadic forays against wary fistic im- presarios, It has been a spectacular bout, with first one and then the other gaining an upper hand. Promoter Is on Ropes. For the present, at least, the pro- moter is reeling against the ropes. Just when the game was beginning to flourish at weekly shows in more than a dozen Texas cities, the youthful governor resurrected an old statute banning boxing, and the Rangers did the rest. Now the game is as dead as a dodo. In its zeal to carry out orders, the State’s crack constabulary made’ one | laughable blunder by halting a wrestling | match—and there is no law against the | mat sport. Texas owes its present boxless state to the fact that James J. Corbett, champion at the time, and Ruby Roberv.‘ Fitzsimmons once came to Dallas to fight. Gov. Charles Culberson called a special legislative session and passed his pet law against the sport. Jim nnd‘ Fitz then repaired to Nevada to settle | their dispute. | In the hide-and-seek game that fol- lowed it was not long until the rangers agaire crossed Fitzsimmons® trail. This tiny Ruby Robert, who had succeeded Corbett to the throne, was to fight Peter | Maher at El Paso. Rangers Outwitted. The story of how Fitz and Maher circumvented the soldiery of two na- tions in the bout that followed is a| prime chapter in boxing history. Rargers notified the promoter he had made a financial blunder. President Porfirio Diaz informed the gladiators they were not welcome in Mexico. The vromoter then chartered a special train, herded fans and principals aboard, and journeyed to Langtry, Tex., named after the noted beauty. Crossing into Mexico, they pitched a ring in full view of the rangers, who commanded grandstand seats from their side of the Rio Grande. Fitz stopped his rival in the first round amid cheers from both banks of the Tiver. WOODS OF U. S.

DUTCH GIRL SWIMMER CONQUERS LAKE GENEVA GENEVA, Switzerland, August 16 (#). —Corry Liebbrand, 21 years old, of Utrecht, Holland, swam yesterday from Lausanne to Geneva, a distance of 60 kilometers, approximately 371 miles. She entered the water at 6:30 am. Wednesday and completed the grind at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, after being lost four or five hours with accompanying boats during the night. Miss Liebbrand is believed to have covered over 70 kilometers. The only previous attempt to make the swim ended in failure June 18, 1928, when Georges Michel, French conqueror of the British Channel, was forced to abandon the attempt after 12 hours due to choppy water. —_— CUPID AT THE NET.

Hagen made his first bid in golf back in 1913, so he isn’t a 20-year star. Mac Smith tied for the United States open championship in 1909, so he qualifies. Tilden was playing intercollegiate tennis around 1914. Tilden has been a high-grade tennis player for nearly 15 years. There are few 20-year stars around. Cobb lasted 23 years, Speaker 21 years, Lajoie and Wagner more than 20 years. John Ball of England won his first and last championships 24 years apart. Varden, Taylor, Braid and Herd have been star golfers for more than 30 years, but they began slipping badly two or three years ago, although Taylor played remark- | able golf in a British open less than three years ago. Of those play- ing golf in championships 20 years ago MacDonald Smith is easily the leader. Max Carey of Brookiyn was a fine ball player 20 years ago, but Max has spent most of his time on the bench this season and by next season should make some club a first-class manager. He has all the ingredients'a good manager needs. Babe Ruth has served only 16 years in the big league, 5o the Babe has four years to go before making the 20-year grade. When you check back over the list, few who were competing in 1909 are still part of the parade. Modern com- petition has been keyed to a killing pace and 20 years as & chunk of time is'a longer period than most competi- tors can stand the strain and the grind —not only of play, but of getting ready and keeping in necessary shape. The Game for Time. EW tennis players and fewer fighters are any good, comparatively, after 20 years of competition. Not when sent against _first-class stars of younger years. Base ball has known more 20~ year stars than tennis, Far more than boxing. Few fighters are well known until they have reached and passed 20, and few amount to much after they have passed 32 or 33. Golf, being on the lighter physical side, demanding nothing in the way of speed, offers a longer road than any other sport. There were eight or ten entries above 50 still good enough to play in the Iast British open, and some of them played well. “Harry Vardon,” says Tommy Armour, “can still hit a golf ball better than any one I know, but he hasn’t the old ower and his putting touch is com- pletely lost.” And Vardon is around 60. Chandler Egan, Bob Gardner, Jerry Travers, Francis Ouimet, Bobby Jones and Jess Sweetser all won championships at 21 or younger, and this happens in few sports. Walter J. Travis won four champion- ships after he had passed 39, and this also happens in few sports. Golf offers the player a longer stretch of time for first-class play than any other game. One needs fast speed for tennis, base ball, track, foot ball, boxing and basket ball—but not for golf. Ball players, tennis players and box- ers usually begin to lose the old elastic- ity that operates in the legs. They slow down and so_ drop back. Leg- power is a factor, but not a big one. The wearying part of tournament golf is the mental side and the nerve strain, resulting from continued and increas- ing tension. No one feels tired after playing well. But four or five bad holes in & row bear down with the weight of centuries and the pressure of granite boulders. After Fifty. LL of which recalls an argument opened a short while ago as to Who should be named the greatest athlete among those Who had passed the fiftieth year. 3 The most remarkable physical speci- man was Zbyszko. He won the heavy- weight wrestling ‘championship around his fiftieth year, when he was not only as strong as three or four horses, but amazingly quick with his hands and feet. Vardon was around 50 when hel had the United States open champlon- ship practically won at Inverness in 1920, when a storm broke on the last few holes. | Fifty isn’t the season for champion- | ships.

ROTHSCHILD’S INNOXA WINS DEAUVILLE PRIZE DEAUVILLE, France, August 16 (#). —Baron Edouard de Rothschild finally managed to break Capt. Jefferson Davis Cohn’s winning streak of all 1929 fix- tures of the Deauville turf when Innoxa, 3-year-old filly by Sanslesou, out of Reindescremes, came home in front of eight other starters, all colts, in the Kergolay Stakes, featuring the race card yesterday. The event was a handicap Tor all ages over a mile and 7 furlongs. The Argentine sportsman, Simon Guthman's Feb was second. The Baron de Rothschild’s Pinceau was third. Cohn’s two entries, Dark Times and White Clover, odds-on favorites, ran unplaced for the first time since the 1929 Deauville meet opened. Innoxa paid 5 to 1. TWO ASHEVILLE GOLFERS GET ACES ON SAME DAY ASHEVILLE, N. C,, August 16 ¥P).— Two Asheville golfers joined the hole- in-one club on the same day.

O not permit any one to tell you that all the excitement is over in the big-league races. There are a lot of possible thrills still left, if you only look for them. 1t is true that Boston apparently has last place cinched in_the American League, but there is a hot race in the National. There either Philadelphia or Boston might lead the league, reading up. The race between Cincinnati and Brooklyn also is becoming a spirited one, and the New York Giants and St. Louls may have quite & contest. Pittsburgh isn't racing anybody just now. It's just finishing second. The Chicago Cubs are beginning to have to use field glasses when they look back at the opposition. It looks as if Washington, the big dis- appointment of the season, has over- come all opposition for sixth place in the American League, but Cleveland, St. Louis and Detroit are still in a position to dispute the places from fifth to third. Cleveland is regarded as the most improved club in either league. ‘The Yankees, like the Pirates, are just running second, with little opposi- tion for this position from either above or below. The Athletics are in the same class as the Cubs, except that they are getting so they have to employ one of {;he larger telescopes when they look 'ACK SHARKEY, who, when he wants to fight, is a mighty good heavywelght, always has been care- ful to point out that his ancestors were Lithuanians and not Poles; but the Poles have been doing well in base ball. First, there is John Quinn Pincus, who, though in the base ball records for 26 years, is said to have played sandlot ball with the original Alexan- der. John is still quite a pitcher. ‘Then there is Aloysius Synzmanski, known to base ball as Al Simmons, who is quite an outfielder and a meritorious hitter. Barring Ruth, many consider Simmons the most valuable outfielder in the game. Simmons is & Milwaukee product. He was born in that Wisconsin city in May, 1903. He played with the Aberdeen club in the Dakota League, the Shreveport club in Texas, and the Milwaukee club, from which ke went to the Athletics.

His weakness seems to be a ball which cuts the heart of the plate. He frequently lets these go by without taking his bat off his shoulder. But no pitcher has perfect control. He can't always throw one down the groove. Sooner or later he throws one wide, and then Al clouts it to the far open spaces. F it is true that Grover Cleveland retire from base ball, the game will lose one of its greatest pitchers and one of its most picturesque figures.

He hesitated at the pitcher's box and then continued to the bench, where he indulged in earnest conversation with a teammate. The crowd sat on the edge of its chairs. This was a serious mo- ment and here was some “inside stuff,” where all might see. No rooter but would have given his all to be able to hear that conversation. It later developed that Alex wished to borrow a chew of tobacce. (Copyright, 1920, by North American News- paper Alliance.) GERMAN BOXER HAS PH. D.

CARLSBAD, Czechoslovakia, August 16.—For the first time since the open- ing of the international chess masters’ tournament two weeks ago, Rudolph Spielmann of Vienna met with defeat in the thirteenth round at the Kurhaus yesterday. His opponent was Canal of | Peru, who was successful in outplaying the Austrian after a long-drawn-ouf struggle of 59 moves. Canal had the white pieces in a queen’s pawn opening and, getting the upper hand in the middle game, was able to win a piece. Thereafter it was an uphill fight for Spielmann until he resigned. Although defeated, Spiel- mann still holds first place by & narrow margin. Shortest Game of Day. Jose R. Capablanca of Cuba made the most of his rival's reverse by defeating Mattison of Latvia in a queen’s pawn opening lasting 20 moves. This was the shortest game of the day. Capablanca had the better of the opening, while | his opponent was undeveloped on the queen’s side of the board. When Mat- tison resigned, he faced the necessity of giving up a piece to prevent check- mate. While even with Spielmann in games won, Capablanca has lost one mere game than the Austrian. Another upset was recorded at the second table, where Bogoljubow of Rus- sia succumbed to Maroczy of Hungary in a queen’s gambit declined lasting 60 moves. Bogoljubow lost a pawn in the middle game, after which he could not prevent defeat. Marshall, the United States cham- pion, lost to Dr. Treybal of Czecho- slovakia, who triumphed in a difficult ending. Other winners were Colle of Belgium and Becker of Austria, who defeated Miss Menchik of Russia and Gilg of Czechoslovakia, respectively. The standing: Players.

Record, managing editor of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He was playing in the outfield for a professional team at Rock Is- land, Il, and his team led by one run when the opponents came to bat_the last of the ninth. “They loaded the bases,” Record's brother relates, “but Jim's team re- tired a couple of men without per- mitting the score to be tied. The next batter hit a pop fly to Jim. He should have caught it easily. “It happened that the engineer of an approaching freight train pulled his whistle just as Jim prepared to catch the ball. He was so startled he didn't even touch it. “That night, after being released, Jim decided newspaper work was his forte.” »moomnomonmnoz ST- N Auto Accessories 10000000000000000000000000000000000000 0 GANAL AT CHESS = SPORT Fights Last Night By the Associated Press.

EW YORK, August 16.—Take it Blacksmith” from New Zealand ~—the next heavyweight cham- plon will be Victorio Campolo of the Argentine. “Honest Tom” expressed his opinion of Campolo’s worth last night after the 6-foot 7-inch South American had stopped him in the ninth round of as bruising and savage a struggle as metro- politan fans have witnessed since the palmy days of Jack Dempsey. “The greatest fighter I ever faced,” was Heeney’s comment. “No one ever hit me as hard as that giant did with those right hands. I think he'll be the next heavyweight champion.” For seven rounds the New Zealander and his glant opponent battled on even terms, the tide of apparent victory swinging quickly from one to the other. In the eighth, however, Heeney, weak- ened by the towering Campolo’s heavy | him. body punches, was & mark for the Ar- gentine’s right hand. One crushing right sent him to the floor for no count just before the round ended. In the ninth Campolo battered the New Zea- lander from pillar to post and finally floored him with a terrific right.

BY JOHN J. ROMANO. EW YORK, August 16.—Paddy Harmon has Tony Canzoneri signed to fight Tod Mor; for the latter’s junior th‘?enkht title, September 6. It is now up to Harmon to place a good size guarantee on the line before the lithe Morgan will risk his title against the hard punching Brooklyn scrapper. Morgan must be slipping or he would not exact the big guarantees he has of late. In the Baby Sal Sorio contest, held at Los Angeles, the little Mexican was lucky to get training expenses for the chance of stepping into the ring with a champion. The Mexican, as a matter of fact, would have had to pay out of his own pocket had he been good enough to cop the title. ‘Word reaches the writer that Morgan has demanded $30,000 for his end in a fight with Eddie Mack, the Denver stat. Mack, & brililant prospect if there ever was one, has had two tussles with Morgan and many thought the Denverite won both of them. Probably Morgan figures the Mexican collegian carries too many guns for him and in the event of a meeting and subsequent loss of his precious title Tod wants to make sure he is well paid for his loss. That Mack has a bright future was predicted by Sid Terris after the pair had stepped 10 fast rounds. Terris on his return from the mile-high city spoke in glowing terms about Eddie’s ability and urged local promoters to use the Denverite before some other section of the country realized the lad’s worth and stole a march on them by featuring Los Angeles promoters grabbed the chance to use Mack and sent him in with Sorio. The little Mexican, who was able to last the distance with champion Tod Morgan, was sent into the land of nod in the fifth frame by Mack. Eddie was brought back with Doc Snell and the Tacoma walloper tatted the third knockout of his long career in the third round. Harmon may have his troubles land- ing Morgan for Canzoneri. The price may be too high.

Smith bunted and was thrown out by Brown, New Orleans pitcher, and on the way to the dugout was met by Anderson. Sharp words apparently pass- ed between the two. Several blows were landed before Moose Clabaugh, Bir- mingham, outfielder, intervened and Anderson started for him, precipitating a free-for-all. Clabaugh received a couple of blows from Anderson as Bonura grabbed for the Baron. At this juncture the players swarmed upon the field and Police Chief Fred McDuff, with a squad of officers, di persed them. Both players were re- moved from the Baron line-up and play was resumed. “DOD0” 3 UNDER PAR. “Dodo” is & new golf term meaning a hole in three under par.
