b 26 . k) WASHINGTON YOUTH LEARNED AS CADDIE Beaver Dam Course Round- ing Into Shape—Two Events on Here Tomorrow. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ICHARD W. COOK, a Wash- ington youngster who learned the game of golf over the courses of the Washington Golf and Country Club and the Columbia Country Club and has held down several minor professional posts at clubs near the Capital, has been named rofessional at the Annapolis ads Golf Club. Cook started on his new duties yes- terday, and will live at Annapolis Roads during the season. He succeeds Walter F. Hall in the professional berth st Annspolis Roads, which is in its second year of play and is universally ranked as one of the leading golf courses in this section of the country. ‘The young profiesional—Cook is but 23 years of age—was assistant to Willic Robertson at the Glen Oaks Club of Farmington, near Detroit, last season, and was in cmxfe of Robertson's golf shop. He was formerly assistant to Ralph Beach at Burning Tree, Was clubmaker for two years at East Pc- tomac Park, was in the shop of Tommy Armour for a year at Congressional and served a season as professional at the Mansfleld Hall Club of Fredericks- burg, The appointment of Cook 15 the only change made in the ranks of the professional golfers about Wash- ington this Spring. Started as Caddy. Cook, who is familiarly known as “Dick” to many Washington players, learned the game as a caddie at Wash- ington and Columbia, where he fre- quently caddied for several of the lead- ing players of the city. He will have complete charge of the golf shop at Annapolis Roads, which is to be con- structed in a few weeks, and will live at the club house. Virginia Holzderber, former champion of the women players of the Middle At~ lantic Golf Association, has been prac- ticing over the Annapolis Roads course for more than a fortnight, belleving that the shots which must be play:d on that course to obtain respectable scores are much the same as those she will have to play on the British courses next month, when she accompanies the team of American women to England. She recently played the Annapolis course in 85 strokes, which is consider- able golf for a woman. A match scheduled for today between officers and midshipmen of the Naval Academy at Annapolis Roads has been postponed until next Sunday. Comdr. J. B. Pollard is to head the officers’ ‘Washington's longest—and one of the best—golf courses is rapidly rounding into shape, and members of the Beaver Dam Country Club at Landover, Md. have every hope that the layout near Bladensburg will be in such condition by the middle of Spring that Summer rules may be placed in use. Fairways on the last nine, put in play only last year, have eome along rapidly and today are covered with a sturdy growth of 'k grass. Patches which are not covered with grass are being top-dressed and sown to seed, and approaches to all the greens hafe been top-dressed. ‘The Beaver Dam layout is 6,827 yards in length, with many par 4 holes which are very near par 5 distance. It is a course for the slugger and yet demands considerable to score well. Beaver Dam has not a weak hole in jts entire length. - The club has before it a proposal for members of the golf team of Maryland University to practice and play their matches over Landover course. Last year Congressional extended the privileges of its course to the George- town golf team. Professional golfers of the Midatlan- tic sector, a group of amateurs and women players about Washington will play in a brace of tournaments tomorrow over the courses of the Washington Golf and Country Club and the Rolling Road Golf Club of Catonsville, Md. The pros will pair with amateurs in a best- ball event sponsored by the Middle At- lantic Professional Golfers’ Association at Rolling Road, while the women are to compete in the 18-hole medal play event for the Phylls Keeler Miller Memorial Trophy. In the women'’s event th> players with low handicaps will start shortly after 9 o’clock, while those with the higher handicaps will start later. Entries should be telephoned to Miss Elizabeth Brawner, secretary of the District Women's Golf Association, at Decatur 5348. More than twoscore fair golfers are expected to turn out for the competition. Capt. Watson B. Mil- ler, husband of the late secretary of the women's association, is to present the prizes tomorrow afternoon. Golfers of the public high schools, who have among their number some young- sters who are capable of offering first- class opposition to men many years their seniors, are to take advantage of the Easter holidays by playing off their interscholastic championship at East Potomac Park Tuesday. Play will be at 36 holes medal play competition, and is to start at 9 am. Francis Horton of Central is the present title holder, and will have strenuous opposition from such lads as Tommy Webb of Western, Harold Graves of Central and Bowen of Tech. The Dawes Cup tourney, which is played annually for the high-school team championship, is to start within & few weeks. The Baltimore Country Club has made a gracious gesture toward public links golfers of the neighboring Mary- land metropolis. _Realizing that the public courses of Baltimore are not up to standard as tests of links skill, the Baltimore club has consented to the use of its Five Farms course later in the year for the sectional qualifying rounds which will determine the Baltimore contestants in the national public links championship. Washington is fortunate to have two such fine public courses as East | Potomac Park and Rock Creek Park | for the devotees of the game who use the municipal links. None of the courses in Baltimore approaches the quality of either of the Washington public links.

Ohlo won 12 first places to only 3 for ~he Panthers, Pitt’s only claim to distinction came in the ranking of the leading point- getters for the day. Capt. Bowen and Kloblock tied for first place honors, each with 11 points.: George Simpson, Ohid's century champion, set a tri-state record in the 100-yard dash, easily defeating Bowen, Pitt star.

THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, GIRL GOLF CAPTAIN RESENTS CRITICISM, Chose British Team to Play Americans Informally, Says Miss Gourlay. - By the Associated Press. ONDON, April 19.—Molly Gourlay, captain of the British woman's golf team to oppose a team head- ed by Glenna Collett May 1, has been subjected to some press criticism and anonymous letters. In spite of the fact that the captain is being made the victim of the nineteenth hole experts, she continued her plans today for the matches with the American women, with no indications that she would retire under the bombardment. Miss Gourlay objects to the anony- | mous letters and criticism of players selected and the assumption that her team is an official British line-up. The British girl's view is that the Sunningdale match is a “choose-up” event between her team and that of Miss Collett. - “When Miss Collett wrote Miss Joyce Wethered,” she said, “and our cham- pion could not take the responsibility of raising a side because she had no intention of taking part in champion- ship golf, I was asked to undertake the task. “Miss Collett made it quite clear that this really was not an international match. She sald that she would like the players who were coming to Eng- land to take part in the championship to play as her personal side against a team which she asked me to organize. “I simply chose players able to give Miss Collett’s team a good game. In any internatjonal match the first four or five players select themselves and there are only a few left for the re- maining places, so there is bound to be some criticism. But when it's personal, it’s very worrying indeed. It's unfor- tunate that an unofficial game between these two teams should have been the won 220-yard dash, tying the dis- trict record of 21 2-5. HE golf course of the Bannock- burn Golf Club of Glen Echo, Md., will undergo a complete reconstruction process and will become &, modern layout in every sense of the word, if plans discussed with club officials by Charles H. Banks, eminent course architect, are realized. Banks, who was an associate of the late’Seth Raynor, and is recognized as an out- standing course architect, visited Ban- nockburn a few days ago, walked over the layout, suggested changes and gave the club a price for construction work that will bring about a complete change in the Glen Echo course and raise it up to modern standards, if the club decides to go through with the suggest- ed improvements. Banks bullt the course of the Anna- polis Roads Golf Club, which is recog- nized by many golfers in Washington as one of the outstanding layouts of the East. The Bannockburn course has under- gone many changes since the original nine-hole course was constructed back in the years which saw the beginning of the World War. At that time Ban- nockburn had, and still has, an en- thusiastic group of members, who visioned on the rolling hills above the Potomac near Glen Echo, a golf course which might become of first rank. Chairman Garrity of the Manor Club golf committee has sent out a notice to all the golfers of the Norbeck organi- zation to play in the initial club tour- ney to be held Sunday, May 4. The event will be an 18-hole medal play affair with handicaps. There will be a prize for first and second low net and low “Turn in your score cards for handi- caps,” the notice says. “We can't give you a handicap unless you do so. It should be the desire of all members to have a proper handicap and to see that those with whom they play have a proper handicap. After May 15 those not having turned in cards for handi- capping will not be allowed to partici- pate in any handicap tournament.” Golf tournaments were scheduled at two local clubs today. At the Argyle Country Club a selective handicap tourney was listed, and at the Wood- mont Country Club the members were to engage in a one-day handicap event. ‘Woman golfers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club are to compete in another of the weekly tour- naments at the service club on Thurs- day. Rain forced a postponement of the event last Thursday. . ‘That remarkable score of 30, made on the last nine holes of the Washington Golf and Country Club last Friday by P. W. Calfee, surely will be one of the outstanding bits of golf hereabout this year. The last nine at the Virginia club yields up its par only to a man who hits the ball far and straight from the tee and putts exceptionally well. Opportunities for wasted strokes abound all through the nine, where woods, ravines and bunkers reach out to catch the ball off he line, and ditches lie in wait for the topped tee Bobby Jones Alters His Grip for Driving BY SOL METZGER. Here is Bobby Jones' driving grip. Compare it to his grip for putting shown yesterday. Note the dif- ferences. First, the right hand over- laps, the little finger of that hand fitting over the first finger of the left hand. Second, the grip is more in the fingers than was his putting grip. In other words, Jones is go- ing after distance when driving, after Comdr. A. H. Douglas, who is attached to the Anacostia Naval Station, and who, according to the men with whom he plays at Columbia, can knock a golf ball from here to there with greater ease and certainty than any amateur ebout the Capital. Comdr. C. B. Hatch plays with Douglas frequently and de- clares that Douglas hits as long a ball as he ever has seen. Douglas played the other day at Columbia with Hatch and L. W. Laudick, who has quite & reputation as a hitter himself, and said the tee shots of this pair made him feel like a schoolboy. “They knock them so far as to make an ordinar; tee shot jook ridiculous,” Hatch said.

One day he and Connie Doyle, ace of Washington ten- nis. players, were to play at-Oolumbia, but & light rain made net competition impossible. So Connie proposed a game career that has made Stevinson the out- standing golfer about the Capital. “My first shot,” Stevinson said, “was a beauty, right down the middle, about | 200 yards. I think I holed out in 9 about putting. I remember my score | for the first round was 115. But I had been bitten by the golt bug and I went after it.” S | Manager Kochenderfer of the Colum- bia Country Club has dug out a number of old pictures from the club archives showing the golfers who have played the Columbia course and a few pictures of the old course over in the Brightwood section, where so many stars of today learned the game. One group taken on the steps of the old house of the Columbia Golf Club— predecessor to the present Columbia Country Club—shows something like a score of men who are members of Columbia today or are playing at other courses about the city. The grill, which has been refinished, has been embellished with these pic- tures and with cartoons by Clifford K. | Berryman of the popular Fred McLeod | and D'Arcy Banagan, pro and assistant | pro of the Columbia club. With their | cartoons are reproduced verses read at the club golf dinner last Fall. CENTRAL WINS DIAMOND Central High School's base ball team rang up its third win in as many starts when it topped Forest Park High of Baltimore, 14 to 10, yesterday in the Columbia Heights School Stadium. It | was a heavy-hitting game, each team socking 14 bingles. Thompson and Al Miller led Cen- tral's attack, each getting three hits. Central gained a five-run lead in the first inning and added two more in the third, but the Baltimoreans came back to count six 4n the fourth. The Blue, however, got two more in- the fourth and then chased across five in the fifth to clinch victory.

ONTE CARLO, April 19.—In starting a series of articles on the teams which must bhe considered as possible chal- lengers of France in the Davis Cup, I suppose one should start with America, last year's challenger, but I prefer cli- max to anti-climax, so will write first of the outstanding playing strength in the European zone before taking up the United States. There are four real threats in the European zone, any one of which may reach the interzone final. These are Japan, Italy, England and Australia. I will write first of Japan. The Japanese team consists of Takeichi Harada, Yoshiro Ohta, Tameo Abe and the new star, Satoh, first name undiscovered by me. This is a group of seasoned and experienced players, with the exception of Satoh. Fine All-Around Player. “Takey” Harada made his first ap- pearance in Davis Cup play in 1924. He represented Japan in 1925, 1926 and 1927. It was in 1926 thl&: he first proved his right to be onsidered among the great players in the world when he beat Little Bill Johnston at Newport and followed this up by beating both Cochet and LaCoste in the Davis Cup match. 'Kehls seemed to be the high point of Harada's career, for the following year he went into & slump from which he did not recover until this Winter. He did not play on the Japanese Davis Cup team of 1928 or 1929, but last De- cember he once more beat Henri Co- chet during the trip of the French players to Japan. Then Harada was himself again. During the two years since I had seen him, I found he had increased the power of his service and improved his volley. Today, Harada is a fine all court player. He drives with terrific power, forehand and backhand. He is about the hardest hitter now in the game. His service is -Feedy and carries a good spin. His volleying is still uncertain, but far better than it was. Overhead he is sound and severe. Harada uses the peculiar unorthodox grip of the Japa- nese stars and his ground strokes, par- ticularly his forehand ones, carry an exaggerated topspin. Big Bill Likes Satoh. Harada is a possible point winner for Japan against any team. He should win at least one if not two singles in each tle. i The second singles position is still uncertain, but lies between Satoh and Ohta. Personally I consider Satoh de- cidedly superior. Ohta is a baseline player with the exaggerated topspin ground strokes of his national style— & player of great courage, resource and stamina, but so limited in stroke equip- ment that I cannot see him a point winner against teams like England, Italy or Australia. His limitations are too definite, his weaknesses too easy to exploit. I expect to see Satoh play the sec- ond single. Satoh, in my opinion, is the greatest potential player of any Japanese I have seen, because his style is classic, clean cut, almost American or French in its stroke production. He has none of the unorthodox grip or exaggerated topspin of his teammates. He is a stroke player of ease, grace and remarkable subtlety. His service is a well placed, average pace slice of reli- ability, but not great offensive strength. Both Satoh’s forehand and backhand are accurate, flat drives, which he uses with consummate skill. He disguises his direction brilliantly. His volleying is sound, not particularly severe, but ade- quate, while overhead he is magnifi- cent. I see no weakness to Satoh’s stroke equipment. He lacks the pun- ishing power of Harada, but his game has far more variety. It is a more modern style. Has Plenty of Power. One cannot yet tell what Satoh will show in the strain of Davis Cup matches. I have played ag: t him twice in doubles on the Riviera, and found him a cool, dangerous, fighting opponent. He is a man of great phy- sical strength, apparently tireless and of most remarkable quickness. I have been tremendously impressed by him, although he has not found his true game on the Riviera. I would not be surprised to see Satoh win one or both singles in the Davis £ | Cup against any man in the European zone, ‘The last member of the Japanese team, Tameo Abe, is the finest doubles player of any Japanese. Abe is not a great singles player. I would place him behind all three of his teammates, but in doubles I believe he is the best. This is due to his magnificent volley- ing, crushing overhead and his clever use of short angle shots in returning service. There is a good old maxim in the tennis world that any Japanese team is a mark in doubles, but I believe this year will prove a very different story. I have twice played Harada and Satoh c|on the Riviera and twice met Abe with other partners, and can say that neither team proved easy. Harada is not a good doubles player, but certainly Al is, and Satoh is close behind Abe, Abe and Satoh Fine Pair. If the Japanese, who for some reason still are uncertain about the doubles team, pair Abe with Satoh, then they have a combination which may win points against any team in the Davis Cup matches. I believe Abe and Satoh would have at least an even chance, if not better, against either Morpurgo and Gaslini of Italy or Gregory and Collins of England. Only Crawford and Hop- man or Moon and Willard of Australia have the edge on them in the European ne. To sum up my impressions of Japan’s ELL balanced stocks of new as well as used month to date have so exceeded our expectations that in order to balance our stocks we to consider liberal sllowances on certain makes of cars in trade on new Nash automobiles.

Dick Cook Named Annapolis Roads Golf Pro : Japan Is Real Davis Cup Threat chances to reach the interzone final of the ehallenge round, I would say that if they play Harada and Satoh in sin- gles and Abe and Satoh in: doubles they have an excellent chance to come through. Harada may well win two singles d Satoh one, or even if they win but two singles between them, Abe and Satoh may pick up the third point in the doubles. If, on the other hand, Ohta is used in the singles instead of Satoh, or Abe is_omitted from the doubles, then believe the chances are against the Japanese winning the European zone. It seems to me that Satoh is the pivotal player of the Japanese team. Have Potential Strength. I am counting on Harada finding and holding his best form, which should make him a certain winner of at least one singles in each match. If Satoh fulfills his promise and can come through with a point in either singles or doubles, then the Japanese are a serious contender for the challenge round itself. Much depends on the rapidity with which these Japanese become accli- mated and accustomed to conditions. It was only in flashes that they played their best tennis on the Riviera, but when they did they definitely showed they are a most dangerous team. (Copyright, 1930.) TARHEEL TRACKMEN DEFEAT PENN STATE By the Associated Press. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, April 19.— North Carolina’s flying trackmen showed marked superiority in the dashes and hurdles today to defeat Penn State, 70'2 to 55%, and keep unbroken an eight-year record of no defeats in dual meets. Performances were consistently good despite a wet track. Minor Barkley, Tarheel distance star, beat Rekers of Penn State, who holds the I. C. A. A. A. A. 2-mile record in a 4;26.6 mile for the feature of the meet. ‘The Tarheels took eight first places. Farmer, sophomore sprinter, led North Carolina in point scoring with first in both the dashes. ‘The Penn Staters proved strongest in the half-mile, in which Bachman, Wolfe and Rekers made a clean sweep, and in the 2-mile, which Meisinger and Detweiler won easily, finishing hand in hand for a tle for first. Every JAPAN AND AUSTRIA BREAK EVEN AT NET VIENNA, April 19 (#).—Japan and Austria split even in the first two matches of an international tennis tournament begun here yesterday. In doubles, the first two ranking Austrian players, Franz Matejka and Herman Artens, defeated Otah and Sato, 97, 7—5, 6—3. In singles, Tamio Abe of Japan. defeated Willy Winterstein, third ranking Austrian player, 6—1, 6—0, 6—1. A second singles match between Takeichi Harada, Japan, and Matejka was uncompleted, play being postponed until tomorrow with Matejka leading by scores of 8—6, 8—6, 3—86. \CAPITAL AND ORIOLE GUNNERS SPLIT EVEN BALTIMORE, Md., April 19.—Balli- more and Washington divided honors in the intercity trap shoot today at the Oriole Gun Club in Gwynns Falls Park.

TWO N.-S. NET FINALS LOST TO PINEHURST By the Associated Press. . PINEHURST, N. C, April 10— Officials of the United North and South Tennis Tournament tonight arranged for all matches except the men's singles finals and men’s doubles to be played away from Pinehurst, following a day of rain which prevented play here. The step was taken because tourna- ment entries had made other engage- ments which made it necessary f to leave Pinehurst. e Weather permitting, Johnny of Santa Monica, Calif., and Gregory Man- gin of Newark, N. J. will meet here tomorrow morning in the finals of the men’s singles. In the afternoon George Lott of Chicago and Doeg will play in the men's doubles finals against the winners of a semi-finals match in which John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J., and Wilmer Hines of Austin, Tex., are paired against Berkley Bell of Austin, Tex., and Man- gin. A previous agreement made it neces- sary for Miss Penelope Anderson of Richmond, Va., to leave Pinehurst. She and Mrs. Marian Jessup of Wilmington, Del., will play the final match of the women's singles in Richmond tomorrow, Semi-finals and finals in the mixed doubles will be played at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. Surviving players in the mixed doubles are going to White Sulphur Springs to enter the Mason and Dixon tournament, All Nationally Known Makes for ;. . ... ..
