THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MARCH 2, 1930—PART FIVE. Mangin Hailed as a Coming Net Star : Cut in Spring Golf Tournaments Soughit TWO CLUBS MAY ABANDON GEORGETOWN LAD IS HEADED FOR TOP Held as Likely to Figure in Doubles With the Davis Cup Team This Year. This is one of a series of stories #n which Vincent Richards is analyz- ing the playing ability of the men chosen for this year’s United States Davis Cup squad. BY VINCENT RICHARDS, International Tennis Star and Former Davis Cup Ace. \WO years ago in the na- tional championship at Forest Hills a mere boy with the cocky stride of a world conqueror had the sta- dium cheering frantically as he ofought the great Henri Cochet of France, world's lead- ing player, to a standstill in the gnest set of their match. That boy was Gregory Mangin, New- ark, N. J. now a junior at Georgetown University, Washington, D. C. Cochet won the match and then went on to annex the title. That one great effort by the New Jersey lad was the making of his tennis reputation. Overnight he | became a national, | if not internation- al, figure, and to- day he is a mem- ber of the Davis Cup squad His brilliant per- formance in the championship was not the first time Balance Is Lost If Player Presses BY SOL METZGER. | The great trouble with most of us as golfers is that we try to hit the ball too hard. In an attempt to kill it we press. The result is invariably a slice if we actually con- nect with it at all. The sketch of the player in long trousers shows him at the finish of a pressed drive. Body has gotten in ahead of the hands. It always does when we press. Isn't this convineing proof that you don’t get results when you get the body into a shot, as we sometimes hear we should? Pressing means a Herculean effort from the very top of the swing, a heave that gets the body lurching at the ball. Balance is lost, there is no_foundation to swing from. How much better the idea of Jones, who hits through with the hands, the body following the club- head because it has acted as a foundation for the swing through. Swing through with the hands, m v using the body as the base to work from and balancing it nat- Mangin had dis- tinguished himself Earlier the same year he had gone through a strong fleld of Americans and Australians to |- e reach the final i round of the Southhampton in- Gregory Manein. | vitation tourney. | And in 1929 he rose to even greater heights. He won the Eastern inter- ocllegiate title, competing against play- | ers from all of the country. He | won the metropolitan grass court cham- | g‘nionmn one of the biggest in the , and he reached the final of the national intercollegiate tournament at the Merion Cricket Club, Haverford, Pa. Only a great rally by Berkeley| Bell prevented Mangin from walking off with the college crown. He is one | of the outstanding favorites to win this | year. | Not only is Mangin a rapidly im- proving singles player, but he is even more brilliant at doubles. He and Bell | made one of the best teams in the East in 1929. They won the famous Seabright doubles tournament together | and were conspicuous throughout the season. His Best Doubles Feat. The best doubles performance the Newark lad turned in all year, how- | ever, was when he paired with Johnny Van Ryn in the ‘West matches against George Lott and John Doeg. Lott and Doeg had just arrived from Boston after winning the national championship, and so it made & big| hit with the crowd to see young Man- gin steal their thunder and play the best doubles on the court. Not even Van Ryn, who had won the ‘Wimbledon dcubles with Wilmer Alli- son, and beaten the best teams of Ger- many and France in the Davis Cup matches, played as brilliantly as his new partner. I believe it was the sen- sational play of Mangin in that match as much an anything else that won him a position on the Davis Cup squac Any one who had pla; such a corl ing game of doubles all season and then capped it with this performance against the national champions be_overlooked. far. But it is hard to tell what a player as cocky and sure of himself as Mangin will do. Despite his lack of international experiénce and of good form, or what is accepted as good form | in stroke production, he is just as likely as not to knock off a big player. ! Unfeazed by Reputations. | It doesn't make any difference to Mangin how big the reputation of his opponent is. He will tell you that the | bigger they are the harder they fall. Johnny Hennessey is the same way, and Temember that Hennessey'’s form is not chuic‘luzlmer. :y lnyh:'-r!};:‘l‘! g:.the imagination, and " yet ten ‘Tilden, Borotra and even Cochet. Mangin alternates in the use of a chop and a forehand drive with exces- sive top spin. He turns his wrist so sharply over the ball that sometimes it hardly comes off the turf, and in spite of this excessive top he gets tremendous pace on the ball. His forehand is his more reliable stroke, but his most spec- tacular shot is his backhand, particularly his straight backhand. His backhand drives down the line had the crowd mn; with delight when he played e The Ball Boy of Lyons was irritated by those stunning beckhanders, and when their match, which was inter- rupted by rain the first day, was re- sumed the next afternoon he had learned to keep the ball away from Mangin's backhand and particularly not to give him a chance to make a backhand drive on the run at an angle. Gregory eats that shot up. Despite lack of height, Mangin being | one of the shortest players in big com- pany, he has a damaging service. He throws the ball high into the air and meets it with just the right shot, tim- | ing his swing perfectly. He is a good | volleyer, though inclined to be erratic, and he also is shaky at times overhead ‘With him it is all or nothing on his | volleys or smashes, and that is true of most of his strokes. He plays to the hilt every time. When he has learned to bide his time more carefully and await the opportune moment for a fin- | ishing shot he will be all the more ef- | fective. His foot work is satisfactory, and be- cause of the great speed with which he starts for the ball he can get almost anything, whether it is a drop shot or a widely angled drive on the other side of the court. It probably will be a year or two more before Mangin can have any se- rious hope of landing a singles berth on the Davis Cup team. For 1930, his| chances rest on the doubles. He will| have plenty of competition, but if he gets his chance he may have Van Ryn | and Allison and Lott and Doeg all (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) (Next: J. Gilbert Hall) BELL AND BARNES WIN DOUBLES IN BERMUDA| HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 1 (#)- Berkeley Bell and Bruce Barnes of Aus: tin, Tex., won the men's doubles title a the annual Bermuda tennis champion- ships today. Bell and Barnes defeated John Doeg and Herbert L. Bowman, 6—3, 6—2, 6—3, in the final round. ‘The mixed doubles title went to Penelope Anderson of Richmond, Va., and Barnes, who defeated Virginia Rice of Boston and Bell, 7—5, 6—8, 8—6, |tween the Concord and Wasl hustling to beat him out of a doubles | Job. urally. As a matter of fact, hitting through with the hands actually compels the body to flow with the thl?! and to automatically brace tself.

A land and Virginia is to be com- piled by the Middle Atlantic Golf Association during 1930. The association, at its annual meeting last night at the Willard Hotel, decided | to draw up a list of handicaps for the players from clubs in its membership who have a chance to win the associa- tion championship, and will rate them accordingly. A. McCook Dunlop of the Chevy Chase Club, was chosen chair- man of a committee to arrange the handicaps of the players in the mid- Atlantic section of the country. Other members of the commtitee are: Wil- liam P. Hall, Maryland Country Club; F. J. D. Mackay, Country Club of Vir- ginia; Walter R. Mitchell, Princess Anne Country Club, and W. Fred Byrne, Bannockburn Golf Club. The commit- tee will meet at an early date to ar- range the handicap listings. ‘The annual men’s championship of the association was awarded to the Country Club of Virginia to be played over the James River course of the club on June 5 6 and 7. The associa- tion abandoned the 36-hole qualifying round which has been specified for pre- vious tournameénts and will confine the qualification round this year to 18 holes. The tourney next Ie r probably will go to the Princess e Country Club of Virginia Beach, Va. Alvin M. Smith, president of the Country Club of Virginia, was elected president of the association, succeeding . P. Strobel of Baltimore. Walter R. Mitchell of Norfolk was re-elected first vice president and Donald Woodward of Columbia was re-elected second vic® president. Walter R. McCallum of the Washington Golf and Country Club was chosen as secretary-treasurer. The choice of a course and selection of a date for the women's champion- ship tourney of the association was left to the executive committee, which will report on July 1 on a course and £ date. courses were offered for the women's tourney, those of the Indian Spring Club _and the Hermitage Golf ub.

Martin has arran; of training for the see that Bluege follows it. Batting practice, the players’ delight, starts Monday morning. The pitchers will have their innings as well as the few outflelders and infiélders at hand. Johnson intends to do the dur- ing most of the initial session, although he will have Savidge and Daugert on the hill, too. For the hurlers, there will be a bunting class. Last season the low- er end of the batting order seemed as weak at bunting as it was at hitting ‘em out and the Washington pilot wants batters able to lay 'em down this year. Ping pong, the game their fathers played when youths, has taken theflrlly- érs by storm. In the basement of the hotel where the club is quartered is a glnl pong table that never is out of use after supper until 10 at night. The players bang the little celluloid ball back and forth with a vengeance and already a formal tournament is in prog- réss. Among the stars at the game are Hadley, who has an especially wicked | service; Liska and Ruel. Nor is Senor hgguel Martin any slouch at the pas- e. t Playing of the game is én ed by Johnson. The players make real work out of it and he considers it a valuable part of the training routine. Barnes Summoned to Camp. Red Barnes, outfielder, has been or- dered to report to training camp in ad- vance of the other gardeners and inner defense players. He probably will reach Ih!l’e in time to enter the workout Mon- | day. With Goose Goslin still silent as | to his intentions,Johnson wants to leave the young outfielder ge¢ the benefit of all training possible.

In Chess Circles BY FRANK B. WALKER. fourth round in the tourna- ment for the title of District chess championship was quite important in changing the staniding of the players, though not so much so as the third round. Byler and Walker remainéd in a tie for the top position by defeating Knapp and Wimsatt, respectively. Bishop, who also was tied for first place at the end | of the third round, lost to Carl Hesse and dropped to & ti€¢ with him for fourth | place. Bettinger won from A. Y. Hesse | and stepped into third place. Knapp dropped back to sixth place. Byler and Knapp played a quioco pi- ano opening. Bylér got the better of the game in the opening, but all the pieces were off the board before Knapp after 43 moves. In his game with Wimsatt, Walker played P-Q4, to which Wimsatt re- sponded irregularly. Wimsatt castied on the king's side, while Walker castled on the queen’s side. At the end of 20 | moves the game appeared to be about even. At this stage Walker commenced an attack against the adverse king with queen, two rooks and two knights, and on his thirty-fifth turn Wimeatt re- signed, as he could not save his queen. Bishop played the Vienna opening, to which Carl Hesse resporided . He pressed his advantage, Bishop resigned after 35 moves. Bettinger and A. Y. Hesse had a lively setto, which occupied two avmm. At the end of adjournment, after first evening, the position was sbout even, but Bettinger gained an advantage on !{w second evening and A. Y. Hesse re- signed. Here is the standing at the end of four rounds: y LR I i GV While Byler and Walker are in the lead, neither is assured of first place. ‘There are three more rounds snd both have to play Bishop and Carl Hesse. In addition, Byler has to play Wimsatt and Walker has to meet Bettinger. Anything may. happen. Bettinger may step into first place, or Carl Hesse or Bi.sho? mlyflyet get to the top, or at least tie for first place. No game is scheduled for next Satur- day, March 8, as that is the night of the annual meeu%o( the chess unit of the City Club. e closing rounds of he tourrney are scheduled for March 15 and 22. Carl A. Hesse, tournament champion of the City Club, recently gave a fine oy 00l. He pi g8 10 boards, two players consull at one board, and won every game. His op- ponents were Joseph Marshall, Hiliman Harris, George Danzig, Robert Hall, Ra- fael Sterfy, Lawrence Sterfy, Louis de Lesdernier, George Poretsky, Schlesing- er and Hornstein (consulting) and Paul Edward Holmes.

'COLONIAL GIRLS WIN ANOTHER RIFLE TILT 1930, it appears that if the recommendations of two chairmen are| adopted by their clubs, these clubs will not hold invitation events| this year. The clubs are Congressional and Indian 8 ring and Chair- | man Mason of Congressional and McCarter of Indian Sprin | made recommendations looking toward abandonment for 1930, of the tourneys of the two elubs. Both recommendations are based | have on the theory that there are entirely too many golf tournaments held in the Spring about Washin siderable cost to the clubs and n, and that they are held at con- nconvenience to the club members. meanwhile the schedule makers of the District association have | gone ahead with their schedule, and have included in it dates for hese two events. McCarter is the author of a plan to hold one big tournament about Washington each year, durin which medal and match play rounds would be played at all the clubs, with the winner to be the District champion. Mason has consistenl; many tourneys in the Spring about the Of course the tournament dates have not been definitely set, but it seems to us that the schedule makers have made a serious mistake in setting the dates for the District junior cHampionship and the District amateur championshi) for consecutive days. They drew uj schedule a few days ago at a pre! inary meeting of the executive com- mittée which set the junior title chase for September 3 and thé amateur cham- plonship for September 4 and 5. Will Be Held Early. Both tournaments are to be held un- usually early this year, according to these dates,” for hot weather extends well into September around Washing- | ton, but the fact that the two events are being held on consecutive days| M seems to be a bad piece of schedule making. Theé District junior is a 36- hole medal piay event, and the District amateur is & 72-hole medal play tour- ney. ‘There are several ungsters about the Capital who are yqem" capable of winning the District amateur cham- Elmhin. and who also will play in the iet junior.

Probably the schedule makers will change these datés. They should be changed in fairness to the juniors, and the District smateur should be set for a d-bt: later than the early part of Sep- tember. Roland R. MacKenzle of Columbia, who has been chosen by the United States Golf Association as a member of the Walker Cup téam, has heard noth- ing from the association regarding the possibility that he may go abroad as a team member, but he probably will go abroad, just the same.

Moe, the Western amateur champion and ‘a regular team member, has de- cided not to forego his studies in order to make the trip abroad, thus leaving & vacancy on the team. Maurice J. Mc- Carthy of New York, who is a student at Georgetown University, is recovering from injuries suffered in a recent au- tomobile saccident. He expects his sheepskin in June and probably would not take two months from his studies to go abroad with the team. So Roland MacKenzie automatically falls into line for the vacancy under the alternate system used by the U. 8. G. A. It is understood that the entire team, con- sisting of regular members and alter- nates, will be asked tov’G abroad this year. Roland now is in Washington and mfilmu in business here. We played with him at Columbia last Wednesday and saw a lad whose game, if possible, has improved. He was around the course in 73 strokes, with a number of missed 6 and 7 foot putts, on a day when conditions were hardly good for first-class . ‘The Wi Cup team is booked to sail for gland on the Mauretania from New York on April 30, arriving in England on May 6. At present nego- tiations are under way for them to play the Oxford-Cambridge Society at Rye on May 11, and it also is possible that the team members will play for the St. George’s Vase on May 10 at Sandwich. The Walker Cup matches will be played on May 15 and 16, and it is probable that a match will be arranged with Moles Golfing Club at Woking on May 18. Rumors have it that Jones, captain of the team, expects to go to Germany to play in the German ama- teur champlonship on June 5 at Wann- see. It is certain he will play in the British open at Sandwich and in the British amateur later. The latter title is the one big national championship that has so far eluded the great At- lanta shot-maker. ‘The 16 members of the Washington Golf and Country Club who were among the Capital golfers who went to Vir- ginia h over the last ganized a golf tournament among them- selves, and R. J. Morman and J. E. Rice were the winners. In so far as pos- be | sible an effort was made to pair a high handicap player and & low handicap player together, and Rice and Morman were successtul in the medal play event. ‘The cross mound at the top of the hill at the second hole at Columbia has been cut down and no longer menaces the low tee shot or the topped drive. ‘The new first tee below the tournament tee at Columbia has been resodded and will be ready for play as soon as the season opens, probably within a fort- night. A new barn is being constructed to replace the one which burned down early in the Winter. J. Monro Hunter and George Diffen- baugh, the famed Indian Spring pro- fessional best ball combination, which has not been beaten on an even basis in more than two years, caught a pair Indian Spring and bowed before the steady golf of J. V. Brownell and J. W. Harvey. The amateurs were conceded a liberal handicap, however, and they beat the pros handily. J. Monro Hunter, jr., son of the big hitter of Indian Spring, has been prac- ticing diligently for the past two weeks and is playing exceptionally well. A few days ago he played the first nine at Indian Spring in 38 strokes. Dave Thomson, professional, of Wash- ington has a deserved reputation as an accurate putter and chipper from around the green. He demonstrated how good he is just the other day when he holed a chip shot from the upper edge of the ninth green at Washington for a birdie 2, with one of his og_ponenu R A SR m:."«'am or & 1 W on Thumm’n shot and he holed the chip for a in 2 with A.
