SPORTS ) MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 1930. SPORTS : o Weather-Beaten 50 in Los Angeles Golf : Rice Shows Way to Nationals at Bat D. C. in Golf Limelight With Two Products on Walker Cup Team SHUTE TOPS FIELD OF GOLFING ELITE [lany Ranking Players Are 80, Failing to Qualify for Title Rounds. By the Associated Press, 0S8 ANGELES, January 13,—Half & hundred select wanderers of the national fairways today put behind them two distressing rounds of golf over the rain-soaked, wind-swept Riviera course, and pre- pared to continue play in the Los An- geles $10,000 open tournament, cheered by the prospect of a clear day. A young professional from Columbus, Ohio, Denny Shute, who yesterday con- quered the reacherous course and the rioting elements to shoot a 74, 3 over par, headed this array of qualifiers with a score of 147. This gave a two- stroke advantage over his nearest rival, Young Norton Smith of the Miss Ozarks. Among the discards—the 80 who failed to shoot 159 or better—were some of the country’s golfing elite, including the veteran campaigner, Walter Hagen. ‘The “Haig,” whose nearly 20 years of professional play led him to most of the major championships of the world, yes- terday picked up his ball at the end of the eight hole and announced that he “had enough.” Hagen Drops Out. ~he round had been one of disaster for Sir Walter. Caught when the storm was at the peak of its fury, the British open champion took 40 strokes on the first_eight holes, after shooting an 81 in Friday's opening round. It was the first time he ever had quit in major competition. Hagen was not alone. Fourteen others gave up in despair yesterday: three dropped out of the first 18 holes Friday. Half a dozen or more others of the Nation's leading players failed to make the grade. Chief among_these were Henry Cuicl, one of New England’s leading pros; Craig Wood, winner of the Hawaiian open; Al Watrous, Detroit pro; Johnny Dawson, a high-ranking amateur from Chicago: Joe Turnsea, a member of the Ryder cup team; Ed Gayer, Chicago, and a host of others. What quarter was given by the ele- ments yesterday was received by Shute, when he went out in 38, three over par, and came home With an even par 36. ‘The tempest broke with all its fury as the young Ohioan holed out at the eighteenth. Smith was caught with the storm at its height. The torrential rain, driven before an ocean gale, caught the Mis. sourian as he went to the sixth green and did not let up until he had com- pleted the thirteenth. Grouped with Cuici and MacDonald Bmith, the defending champion, Smith grimly fought his way through for a 76 while his partners took 82 and 84, respectively. MacDonald Smith turn- ed in 159 for the 36 holes, just enough to permit him to stay for the third and final rounds today and tomorrow. Armour Makes Grade. ‘Two strokes behind the Missouri pro and four behind the leader trailed a quartet of drenched contenders with cards of 151. These were Tommy Ar- , Detroit; Fay Coleman, Culver Calif., amateur; Al Espinosa, Chi- cago, and Bobby Cruickshank, New York. Johnny Rogers of Denver, whose subpar of 70 for the opening day placed him in a temporary lead, faltered with an 82 to boost his total to 152 in a three-cornered tie. The best 18 was chalked up for Neil Christian, Portland, Oreg., pro, who also had the favor of the elements when he shot & 73 for a 152. His in card in- cluded four consecutive birdies. Grouped with him were two Californians, Chet Beer, Bakersfield, and Willie Hunter, Los Angeles. Leo Diegel, national P. G. A. cham- pion, scored an 80 to finish with 153. Among the fortunate who _just squeezed into the low fifty were Tony Manero, Catalina Island, open cham- &hn: “wild Bill” Mehlhorn, also of W. uri ew York; Ed Dudley, Wilmington, Del., and W. H. Cox of Brooklyn. Coleman’s third place tie with 151 ted him to head the list of ama- with George Von Elm of Detroit the only other Simon pure to make the qu ‘ification grade. He nad a 157 to his credit. Eighteen holes are on today’s sched- ule. with the concluding round of the 72-hole tourney tomorrow. Weather forecasts were clear and cold. DISTRICT SOCCERS LOSE TO MARYLAND OUTFIT Marlboro soccer team defeated Rose- dale and Silver Spring downed D. C.

Glenna Collett advises golfers to turn_the club toe in slightly toward the hole when playing & chip. The object is to impart overspin to the ball in order to make it roll farther. She says that she plays her chips with enought left to carry the ball in the air for half of its journey to the hole. By turning in the toe of one's club when addressing the ball you plan to strike it with the club in this position when contact is made. Now, Jet us see just what this turning in of the toe of the clubhead does. First, it lessens the loft on the club, just as turning it out increases the loft. That means you give the ball less trajectdry than if struck normally with the same club. It also means that you impart both overspin and pull to the rolling ball, because your clubface somewhat smothers it at contact. So allow for this slight pull if you follow this ad- vice, an allowance that only practice will determine the exactness of. Unless you understand the pivot you cannot hope to shoot de golf.

Hagen ‘Picks Up’ in Meet First Time in Career LOS ANGELES, January 18 (#).— Walter Hagen, who through pearly a score of years as an outstanding professional golfer has held almost every prominent golf championship in the world, yesterday dropped out of the Los Angeles $10,000 open after playing eight holes under the most adverse kind of weather. Dripping wet from the rain, which was swept in from the ocean by a driving gale, the Haig picked up and announced that he had “enough.” At the Jocker room he said it was the first time he had “picked up” in a major tournament. His play was even worse than that of Friday, when he shot an 81, 10 over par. EAGLES T0 INVADE . U. GYN TONIGHT Game Will Usher in Busy Week for Basketers of D. C. Colleges. A and American University clash on the Brookland court in a game ushering in the busiest week of the campaign for college basket ball teams of the Washington area. Card- inals and Eagles have been licked in their last three games, but for one group this losing business will be over for a time as tonight's engagement is concluded. In all, 13 games are to be played dur- ing the week by the local varsity fives with Catholic_ University seeing the most action. Following their date to- night with the Eagles the Camlinals have engagements with Loyola of Balti- more tomorrow night, Duquesne Thurs- day and Navy Saturday. The Mld.lhl&- men will be encountered at Annapolis. Maryland starts its two-game week tomorrow night when it will tackle the University of Virginia five at Char- lottesville. Friday the Old Liners will entertain their long-time foe, Johns Hopkins, at College Park. Georgetown, George Washington and Gallaudet are to be on the floor for contests. The Hoyas are to play once at home and twice abraad. The Co- lonials ‘are booked for two games in Virginia, while the Silents will go to Annapolis the end of the week to scrap with St. John's. Georgetown’s five, which has been f its home games at various places, will play them hereafter at Ryan Gymnasium at the Hilltop. The Hoyas have but four more home en- gagements. Del Cosgrove, Gallaudet flash, con- tinues to lead District college basketers at scoring. He is credited with 117 points, Don Dutton of Georgetown is second, with 80 points. Karl Wildermuth, sprinter, a mile relay team and & distance runner yet to be selected will represent George- town at the annual Brooklyn College indoor track games to be held in Brook- lyn Saturday night. Wildermuth will compete in the Olympic sprint series. Among his opponents will be Jack Elder, Notre Dame’s fleet trackman. George Washington hopes to rear- range its October gridiron dates that places on its schedule may be found for games with Iowa and William and Mary. The Colonials already have one open date in the month as a result of the canceling of their engagement with American University. ALS GIRLS BOOKED. Als A. C. girls basket ball team will play the Warrenton, Va., A. C. sextet in Wilson Normal School gym at 9 o'clock tomorrow night. LOSING streak will be ended to- night when Catholic University OR .the first time in golf history two men who learned the game in the Capital are named as members of the team which will represent the United States next Spring in the outstanding international joust of the year. George J. Voigt, only five years ago a public links’ golfer in Wash- ington, and today generally rated as third ranking amateur in this country, is a member of the Walker Cup team, picked by the United States Golf As- days ago, which will meet RcthtioniewoSeY ‘l carefully chosen team of eight Brit- ish golfers at Sandwich, England, next May. Roland R. Mac- Kenzie, who has twice been a mem- ber of Walker Cup teams in the past four years, is named as an alter- nate this year, while Maurice J. McCarthy of Georgetown Uni- versity also s named as the alternates. McCarthy, however, is not a Washington prod- uct. His game was developed in and around New York. Honors such as these do not come without merit. To make the Walker Cup team a man must be more than a winner of sectional tournaments. He must be a figure of commanding im- portance in golf in a national way. For this reason the naming of Voigt and MacKenzie as members of the 1930 edition of the Walker Cup team is a tribute to the quality of golf played in the Capital, and sets it up along with the quality of the game played in any other section of the country. Although George Voigt today is not a Washingtonian, his game reached its crest here from 1924 to 1927, and in those years he set what still is a record for consecutive tournament and con- secutive match play victories. He is the same golfer today he was in the days when he was riding roughshod over his opposition in the mid-Atlantic terri- tory, and, we daresay, he is no better a performer than he was in_ his last year as a purely Washington player. So Voigt is a Washington product, even though his game has been toughened in the flerce fire of more intense com- petition since he went to New York in the Spring of 1928, Roland MacKenzie is Fumy a Wash- ington product, in so far as his golf is concerned. He, too, has been through a toughening process in national and international events, but his game is the same tried and true product it was be- fore he sought fame in fields far from ‘Washington. Roland learned the game under that master teacher—Fred McLeod—when he was a youn; r attending Western High School. those days—back in 1923 and 1924—he rounded out the game that later brought him the na- tional championship qualifying medal and earned him a spot on two Walker Cup teams. Columbia is his club and there is where his game was developed. ‘The path of Voigt to the lofty pin- nacle of the Walker Cup team is quite different. Starting as a caddie on the old course of the Columbia Country Brightwood, two decades igt developed a fair game of B as a caddle, but when Columbia moved its course in 1912 to the present location in Chevy Chase, Voigt for- got golf. He did not take it up again until 1921, when the public course in East Potomac Park was opened. He then was a_typewriter repairman in the Treasury Department at a meager salary. Before work and after work he practiced and Plnyed golf, and first showed signs of becoming an impor- tant factor in golf about Washington in 1923. He won the Columbia tourna- ment the follo'dn’uyur. after having annexed the District public links title, and in 1925 started a sensational march George Voist. LTHOUGH the basket ball sea- son is well under way new teams are being organized right along. The South Atlantic tournament of the A. A. U, to be staged beginning March 10, is proving a strong incentive. Members of the Royal Arcanum will get together tonight at 8 o'clotk in Peck Memorial gym to form a quint. Games with unlimited class teams will be booked for the team which promises to be sturdy by A. Brown at Metro- politan 7041. Ryan’s Cafeteria is organizing a quint and is seeking & fast and rangy center. Candidates should call the manager at Lincoln 8837. That the Skinker Eagles do not pro- pose to suffer further indignities at the hands of Baltimore quints is clear. After suffering defeat recently at the hands of the East Arlington five of Baltimore the Eagles came back yes- terday to drub the Snyder Athletic As- sociation quint from the Maryland metropolls, 59 to 16, in the National Guard Armory at Silver Spring. The visitors were never in the running. Joe Sweeney led the Birds' drive, scoring 23 points, including 11 goals from scrimmage and one from the foul e. Next Sunday the Eagles will enter- tain the Lithuanian-American Club, another Baltimore quint, in the Silver Spring Armory. Spengler_Post _basketers will meet Company E tossers Wednesday in the Central High gym. Spengler Post basketers will meet Remsens Tuesday night at Takoma Park and Wednesday night will hook up with Company E at Central High. A benefit dance will be held by the Spenglers Thursday night at the L'Aiglon. These Jewish Community Center boys are knocking 'em off again this season in ruthless style. Yesterday they regis- tered their sixth win in as many starts, | trouncing Kennedy A. C., 48 to 18. Levin and Abramson with 11 and 10 points, respectively, did the bulk of the winners’ scoring. .

LAST OF FOOT BALL. ‘Wolverines defeated Trojans in a 115-pound class foot ball game, 12 to 7, yesterday at Silver Spring. It was the final contest of an extended campaign for the elevens. through the amateur ranks around Washington. Beginning in 1926, he won something like 12 consecutive tournaments, cluding the N teur championship at Pinehurst, the Middle Atlantic Golf Association District champion- ship. Without doubt, in the years 1926 and 1927, he was the king pin of the amateurs about Washington. In those years, how: ever, Roland Mac- Kenzie did not MacKenzie. play in a single local tournament, with the exception of the 1926 Baltimore Country Club tournament, where Voigt beat him. Had Roland played in the local events, the rivalry would have been intense be- tween the pair. Voigt became a member of the Ban- nockburn Golf Club in 1926 and a short time later entered the employ of E. B. McLean, Washington newspaper pub- lisher. In 1927 District Golf Asso- clation declared Voigt not eligible to compete in its amateur championship because the association claimed he had acted in a manner detrimental to the best interests of the game of golf. A subsequent investigation developed in- dependently by the United States Golf Association cleared Voigt of similar suspicion by the national body and the District association recanted and with- drew its charges. He then won the District title for the second time that year. In the Winter of 1927-28 he went South with his employer, but in the [ off he becam Spring of 1928 e associated with a New York business house and has remained in New York since. Voigt still is a non-resident member of the Bannockburn Golf Club. TUNNEY IS IN HOSPITAL FOR KIDNEY OPERATION NEW YORK, January 13 (#).—The New York Daily News says that Gene Tunney, retired world heavyweight champion, has entered the Presbyterian Hospital for an operation to be per- formed today. ‘The newspaper says that Tunney, ac- companied by his wife, the former Polly Lauder, entered the hospital last night. Mrs. Tunney was assigned to a room adjoining that of her husband so that she could be with him during his con- valescence. Dr. Hamilton Pish will perform the operation, cutting away a part of one of the former champion’s kidneys. Hos- pital authorities were uncommunicative regarding the case. g TO AID YQUNG PLAYERS. A helping hand is to be given aspir- ing boys who wish to play professional base ball by the New England Base Ball League. [Each club will carry two players who are without previous ex- perience in organized base ball. oo YOUTH IS RING CLOUTER. In his 23 ring encounters Larry “Big Boy” Rawson, youthful heavyweight of Dorchester, Mass., has scored 22 kayoes. He is the heaviest hitter, it is said, since Boston produced the famons John L. Sullivan. TIE-UP WITH PENN PRIME NAVY MOVE Annual Gridiron Tilt Franklin Field Apt to Prove Popular. Special Dispatch to The Star. NNAPOLIS, January 13.—The understanding reached between | F: the | ¥ the athletic officials of Naval Academy and the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania for an indefi- nite number of foot ball games to be played annually on the first Saturday of December is regarded as one of the | most important moves made in recent years by the Academy. ‘While it is understood that the game will not be played at that period of the schedule should the service schools patch up their differences, the agree- ment means that the Naval Academy sees no reasonable chance of such an agreement within a short time, and is arranging a game to take its place. After the athletic break between the service schools, the Naval Academy met Princeton and Dartmouth, respectively, in its final game. As long as there was some chance of a prompt reconciliation with the Military Academy the Naval Academy officials did not intend to ‘en- ter into a permanent arrangement with any college, Since the recent conference between the heads of the academies, when the |y representative of the Military Academy declined all of the Navy's suggested compromises and declined to offer any | g is part, it is recognized in naval circles that the chances for an under- standing are very remote. ‘The first game with Pennsylvania will be played on Franklin Field, Phila- delphia, on December 6 next. At pres- ent it is the intention to play the games | {f regularly on that field, though there is no doubt that Baltimore would like the game played in its stadium in al- | & ternate years. Penn Versatile Foe. In selecting Pennsylvania as an op- ponent Naval Academy officials had in mind past athletic relations, the ad- | vantages of the playing site and the probable popularity of the game as an | B annual event. As to athletic relations between the two the Naval Academy meets Pennsyl- vania in more sportsithan in the case of any other college. For the past 20 years the Naval Academy and Penn- |W sylvania have been meeting in most years in rowing, base ball, soccer, la- crosse, basket ball, boxing, swimming, water polo, ‘gymnastics and fencing. The first foot ball game between the | two was played about 40 years ago, and though they have not met regular- ly there have been a number of games since, including contests in each of the last three seasons. Franklin Field is considered an ideal | iy, playing ground and has always been Rout popular with the Navy. Further, it is a | Bole comparatively short distance from An- napolis, and there is no trouble in transporting the regiment of midship- men to the game. The Navy's game on this fleld has always proved popular and attracted a large crowd. In addition to the University of Penn- sylvania, the Naval Academy has met |Lb the Military Academy, Pennsylvania State, Princeton and Dartmouth on Franklin Field. It was also announced by Comdr. Jonas H. Ingram, director of athletics at the Naval Academy, that the game hoihbs:, with Princeton, to be played about mid- season, will also be on a like basis as the game with Pennsylvania as a regu- lar annual game for an indefinite period. | Mo Prince Georges County Basket League Enters Its Second Series YATTSVILLE, Md., January 13. —Play in the second series of the Prince Georges County Basket Ball League will open tonight on the National Guard Armory floor here.

VETERANHITS 323, § 46 BEHIND LEADER Only Three of Griffs Bat in .300 Class—Altrock Gets “Lead.” HY Washington finished no better than fifth in the American League race last season is easily discernible in the official batting averages of the 44 | circult, made public today. Of the en- tire lot of Nationals listed in the records only three finished with sticking marks in the .300 class. A club can't get very far these days with such meager sock- ing of the ball. ‘The best of the National batters was Sam Rice, veteran of many campaigns, who hit for a record of .323 in the 150 % |games in which he participated. Anc 7 |that mark is 46 points lower than that of Lew Fonseca, Cleveland first sacker, who led the league. The others of the Nationals in the | .300 class were Joe Judge, also & vet- eran, who slammed for .315 in 143 games, and Buddy Myer, virtually a rookie, who hit the ball for a batting average of an even .300. ‘The outstanding flop of the season in a batting way was Goose Goslin, who in 1928 led the American League hitters with average of .370. Last season the Goose never could get his eye on the ball, and hit for a mark of .288 in 145 engagements. Five Nationals bet- tered his average in the campaign. Goslin Continues His Slugging. At that, the Goose continued his slug- ging, for he was the best home-run hitter of the Nationals. He slammed 18 of the four-ply drives during the year. Rice and Myer got an even break g as three-base sockers, each hitting 10. ‘The best two-base hitter of the club in 1929 was Rice, who clouted 39 doubles. Actually the leader in batting in the American League was Nick Altrock, the well known and popular coach of the Nationals. Nick squirmed his way into & game as the season ended and got a chance to go to bat once. And he socked the ball for a single. No other '2 |in_the circuit had the 1.000 mark. The Washington club was no great shucks at batting, if one may become It did no better than .276, which gave it only a fifth place tie in the circuit with the Browns of St. Louis. ‘The outstanding batting performance by a National was that of Joe Cronin. youthful shortstop. At Boston on Labor day the rookie Joseph went to the plate five times in one game of a double- header and hit for a homer, a triple, two doubles and a single. Sam West, although hitting only at a 3 | .267 rate, proved a valuable member of the Nationals. He contributed 22 sacri- fice hits to lead the club in this respect. ‘There was little base stealing done by the Natlonals, despite their real speed afoot. - Buddy Myer showed the way in this matter with a total of 18 thefts. {{1:; :l"u caught attempting to steal seven SCHOLASTIC SPORTS PROGRAM FOR WEEK Basket Ball Today. 8t.
