SPORTS. Old-timers to Seek Jones’ Title : Helen Wills’ Crown Menaced, Richards Sa INTERESTING ARRAY OF GOLFERS LISTED Amateur Tournament Draws Picturesque Linksmen of Other Days. BY WALTER HAGEN. N my 15 years of roaming over the | golf courses of the North American continent I have met many very interesting personalities, a number of whom will be compelitors during the first week of September in the na- tional amateur championship at the Pebble Beach Club, on the Monterey Peninsula of California. Some of these players are already well known to the golfing world, but there are others with quite as inter- esting background who at one time or another have figured prominently in | national and international golf. One of the most noteworthy of the contendef® at Pebble Beach will Heinle Schmidt, entered from the Clare- mont Country Club of Oakland, Calif. Schmidt was reared in the Massachu- setts golfing colony, which more than 25 years ago held State championships with fields of real worth. Winner in Old Days. Schmidt was a winner in the old| days in Massachusetts, but he left for | the Pacific Coast at about the time Francis Ouimet was coming into promi- nence. Heinle has remained on the | Pacific Coast_ever since and this will | be his first return to the national ama- teur championship in more than 15 years. In the Spring of 1912 Schmidt, then a young golfer at the Worcester Country Club, worked his way to Eue rope on a catile boat and played in the . British amateur championship at Hoy- lake, where he reached the final eight | and was only defeated in an extra- Tole match by the master British ama- teur, Harold Hilton. Schmidt has had little opportunity for big league competition since he moved West, but he possesses a method- jcal game, has hardly changed in physi- | cal appearance and is very likely to | qualify at Pebble Beach. | Lord Hope Coming Back. | Lord Charles Hope of the Royal and ‘K Anclent Golf Club of St. Andrews is coming back to the championship the first time since he failed in the qualify- | ing round of the national amateur when | it was played at the Engineers’ Club, in 1920. Lord Hope failed to qualify in | that meeting largely because he ran | into a seven or eight on one hole, and I remember that when an American cor- respondent asked his lordship how he | could possibly have taken an eight on & hole, he replied: i “Easy enough, my dear man. G. M. Standifer is entered from the Deep Dale Golf Club of Great Neck, N. Y., although he is really a Pacific Coast 'man who for years was identified with golf in the Northwest. It was| Standifer who in 1921, with the sanc- tion of the United States Golf Asso-| ciation, sent a delegation of Portland | and Seattle players to the national championship in order that they might demonstrate that the standard of golf in the Pacific Northwest compared fa- vorably with that of any other section of the country. Made Splendid Showing. Standifer’s players made a splendid showing in St. Louis and although no | golfer from that section has yet won | the championship they have men cap- able of it in Frank Dolph, Bon Stein and Don Moe. On trips to the Middle | West both Dolph and Stein have won the Western championship. In looking over the list of entries I see the names of amateurs from the British_ aristocracy, American million- aires and the sons of American million- aires, as well as players who learned their golf on the public courses of America. ‘There are players whose hames are in the social register and players who are just in the telephone directory, but 'heyhall Lhavruone com- on inferest, and that is golf. | M Gne old-timer who will be there is Max H. Behr, who in 1908, 19 years ago, at Garden City, was runner-up in ‘the championship to Jerome D. Travers. Behr has made his home in | southern California for many years and this year made a trip to Europe, where he-contested in both the open ateur championships. B e has been & most active propa- gandist for the “floater” ball, 8 sphere Which is even lighter and larger than the one which this Summer was adopt- ed for play by the United States Golf ‘Assoclation. He played his floater ball in both the, British championships and promises me that he will pound it over the links at Pebble Beach. Egan Another Old-Timer. . Chandler Egan—and I do not thiti Re will object to my referring to him as an Oregon farmer—is returning to the champlonship after an absence of many years. Egan won this m; at Baltusrol in 1904 in & final in Whic! e defeated Frank Herreshof, and re- peated his victory a year later in Chi- cago. Egan shares with H. J. Wigham, ‘Walter J. Travis, Jerome D.

OREST HILLS, N. Y., August 19. — Three players, who have known what it is to be queen of American courts and 61 others who would like to know were here today for the opening of the wom- en’s national tennis championships at the West Side Tennis Club. Helen Wills of Berkeley, Calif., the defending champion, has won the title five times. Among the 63 players seek- ing to dethrone her are Mrs. Molla Mallory, eight times national champion, and Mrs. May Sutton Bundy of Santa Monica, title holder in 1904. Miss Wills and Mrs. Mallory have had almost a strangle hold on the sin- gles championship ever since 1915. Only once in the last 14 years has any other player won the title, Mrs, Hazel Hotch- kill Wightman turning the trick back | then simply | in 1919. Mrs. Mallory, Molla Bjurstedt, began her reign in 1915, won again in 1916-17-18-20-21- 22-26. Miss Wills first won the title in 1923, repeated in 1924-25, did not defend it in 1926 and won it again in 1927 and 1928. Invaders Are Menace. But Miss Wills’ most serious opposi- tion this year is expected to come, not from either Mrs. Mallory or Mrs. Bundy, but from several younger players. Not only is the Berkeley girl threatened by American rivals, but by a dozen play- ers from other lands as well. England has sent a delegation of six, headed by 18-year-old Betty Nuthal who gave the American champion such a terrific battle in the Wightman Cup matches that some critics concede her a better than outside chance of win- ning the championship. The other members of the English squad are Mrs. Peggy Saunders Mitchell, Mrs. B. C. Covell, Mrs. Phoebe Watson, Mrs. Doro- thy Shepherd-Barrow and Mrs. D. A. Alston. Canada has entered three players, Olive Wade, dominion champion; Mrs. O. E. Gray and Jean Burritt, all of Toronto, Sweden is represented by Tackan Thdmasson; Brazil by Mar- guerite Falkenberg, and Bermuda by | Gladys Hutchings. In the American lists are Miss Wills, Mrs. Bundy and Mrs. Mallory, as well as such stars as Helen Jacobs, ranked second to Miss Wills; Edith Cross of San Francisco, Mary Greef of Kansas City, Marjorie Gladman of Santa Monica, Mrs. L. A. Harper of San Fran- cisco, Sarah Palfrey of Boston, who captured the eastern grass court wom- en’s singles title yesterday. Outlook for Semi-Finals. Indications are that the semi-final round on Friday will find Miss Wills meeting Miss Nuthall and Mrs, Watson playing Miss Jacobs. Miss Wills is seeded at the top of the upper half of the draw and Miss Nuthall at the bot- tom. In the lower half Miss Jacobs is seeded at the top and Mrs. Watson at the bottom, England is favored to win the doubles crown either with the Mrs. Watson-Mrs. Covell or the Mrs. Covell-Mrs. Shep- herd-Barron combination. The former pair won the Wimbledon champlonship this year, with Mrs. Covell and Mrs. Shepherd-Barron runners-up. FORFEIT AIDS HARTFORD TO GAIN SANDLOT LEAD A forfeit and an unexpected defeat shook up the standings of the leaders in the senior division of the Capital City League. The Try-Me Aces, hith- erto undefeated, - were knocked off by the Montrose club, 10 to 6, and the Roamers forfeited to the Hartfords, who were shunted to the top. ‘The Bostonians forfeited to the Miller Furniture team, and the Brookland team, with three runs in the ninth, mfidv out the D.

Not long ago I was speaking of the lesson that could be learned from watching a fine player like Harry Cooper at the United States open. One thi that became clear to me in following him was that for long wood shots he took a full pivot that pulled his left heel off the ground, whereas for long approach shots the heel remained down. There was a . slight turning of the left foot at the ankle, a la Joyce Wethered, who does nothing else, even on her long tee shots. Also a bending in of the left knee. ‘The pivot for the long iron is al- most entirely a shoulder tum. In other words, it is & compact swing. Cooper starts his hit with the straight left arm. As he does he straightens his left and braces it it as he ulng:uon through. ‘This brace anchors body and forces him to hit on through with entirely. Naturally the braced left leg tends to make the shot accurate. | the left side of the seventeenth fair- | fairway, hopeful that the slope of the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

In the attempt to keep the ball from STRAIGHT O he is lucky or not, but the stance on the golf course, and it was own carelessness. rolling into the ditch which runs along way (no easy task these days, what with the hard ground) many golfers play up along the edge of the sixteenth hill will bring the bail down into the seventeenth fairway and give them a shot at the hole. Playing to the six- teenth hole, the seventeenth fairway is out of bounds and a row of stakes runs along the dividing line. Howard was playing the seventeenth and struck his tee shot far to the right along the edge of the fairway. When he came up to his ball he found it had come to rest within six inches and exactly behind one of the stakes which mark the out of bounds line for the sixteenth hole. He didn’'t know exactly what to do with it, but after some inquiry the other members of the match decided it would be alright to move the stake, But that wasn't so easily done. They tugged at the heavy piece of wood for 5 minutes before it rc?ucuntly left, its place and incidentally left a deep hole in the ground. ‘Then Howard, who is somewhat of an opportunist when it comes to shot making in the pinches, took a heavy mashie and laid the ball 8 inches from the cup, scoring a birdie 3 to win the hole. The post was not replaced. ‘The tragic part of the yarn comes a few days later. Howard hit the same type of shot from the seventeenth tee, toward the same spot. He searched long for his ball, and finally found it in the hole made a few days previously | by extracting the out-of-bounds post. He was in a quandary. Under the rules, he must play it or call it an unplayable lie. But the other men in the match agreed to let him. drop. And he laid the ball on the green and registered a par 4. Now he doesn't know whether he is lucky qr good. R. Clff McKimmie, assistant pro- fessional at the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club, set a new record for the course of the service club in a match yesterday with Frank Hartig, the club professional, pdired against M. A. Shipley and Thomas S. Pitt of Argyle. McKimmie went around the lengthy lay-out of the servicg club in 71 strokes, breaking par by one stroke, and shattering the best previous mark by the same margin. McKimmie and Hartig triumphed over the Argyle duo by & 4-and-3 margin, with a best ball of 68. McKimmie's nines were 35 and 36, and the former Midatlantic title holder was hitting the ball the proverbial mile from the tee. Hartig had an individyal score of 78, while both Shipley and scored 79. Results of the week end medal play events at the Army, Navy and Marine ; Corps Club were announced today as} follows: Saturday: Col. A. J. Cooper, 85—17—68; Lieut. Comdr. J. B. Waller, 97—27—170; Comdr. H. W. Scofleld, 98—26—172. Sunday: Lieut. R. H, Har- rell, 90—22—68; Col. J. J. O'Hara, 90— 16—74; Col. E. B. Miller, 89—14—175. Scoring a birdie 3 on the eighth hole, Ralph §. Fowler has maintained a one- stroke lead over Edwin P. Hair in the ringer competition in progress at_the Washington Golf and Country Club. Fowler now has a composite score of 59 for the 18 holes, while Hair is right on his heels with 60. Several Washington professionals are | planning to play in the Virginia open championship, to be held over the course of the Hermitage Golf Club, at Richmond, August 29 and 30, for the title now held by Charlie Isaacs of Fredericksburg. First prize in the 72- hole medal play event is $150. Second money is $100 and third money is $75. ‘The golf committee of the Bannock- burn Golf Club has decided not to change the method of pla; its tournament from the modified e hurst system, which now has been in vogue for four years at Bannockburn.

Why shouldn't Tilden have won in straight sets? There probably are not six men in the world Tilden cannot still beat three straight sets if he wants to. There used to be only two. One was Johnston and the other Richards. Frank Hunter never has been a great tennis player. The only thing about it is that darn few players can beat him. That's often annoying to the experts, who assure you that Hunter only has one stroke. He has made this one stroke ,| 80 & long way. It has carried him to in | championships in many countries. But Hunter's form is terrible. So was Hans ‘Wagner’s, and so was Luis Angel Firpo’s, and so was Ted Ray's. But these fellows puttered along pretty well. Hunter can't beat Cochet, and he will never beat Tilden until old Bill has to use a crutch instead of a racket, but Frank will continue to prove a mean guy to take for even some of the most grace- ful youngsters. No form, but he gets the ball back with such awkwardness that it knocks the racket out of your hand. It is most annoying. MISSOURI U. éRID STARS NOT SO HOT IN STUDIES By the Associated Press.

Basket ball players and non-frater- nllty groups were below the average of men.
