SPORTS. / British Lacrosse Team Bolstered for Its Winning Invasion of United States STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE FIVE PLAGES HELD BY TONN PLAYERS M #0xford-Cambridge” Twelve, Had No Stickman From Latter School. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, May 1 (C.P.A).—It is so rare that Uncle Sam has anything put over on him in| international sport that when 1t happens the old gentleman can afford to take it with an amused smile, if in- deed, he does not laugh it off with & hearty guffaw. Laughter certainly is indicated in the matter of the recent invasion of the *Oxford-Cambridge” which has just cleaned up the colleges of this country and thus wins the Flan- nery - trophy emblematic of titular honors in lacrosse. For strictly, or even loosely speaking, it was not an Oxford-Cambridge outfit. There was not a Cambridge man on the team. And there were only six Oxford men. Since 12 men comprise a la- crosse team, a statement that the in- vading band of English players was not a college team at all, will not be re- garded as unjustifiable. Players Are Recruited. Of the players who swept through this country like a channel gale, clean- ing up Union, Army, Harvard and 12 other American university lacrosse com- binations, losing only to Pennsylvania and St. John’s, five of the men were recruited from’ crack town teams. Pielder, G. Ainsworth and R. Ains- worth play for the Oid Mancunians, a well known club in Manchester; Astle plays for Stockport and Rains for the ©Old Hulmeians of Hulme, a place in the neighborhood of Manchester. The writer first understood that some of these men were Manchester University aduates, but cable advices say not. t is possible, however, that a sub or two were from this university. Thus it would seem as though Uncle Sam had had his leg pulled rather neatly. But, as said, the matter would seem rather to call for mirth than any other emotion. According to the story, when this in- vading team was organized the Cam- bridge candidates were weeded out as being too inept to represent England in the United States. Then, the story goes, the remaining Oxonians went to Man- chester to play, and had their eyes opened by lacrosse of a sort they knew nothing about. So there was further ‘weeding out and the team which finally came here as an “Oxford-Cambridge” group was organized. Question as to Ethics. Any ethics or lack of ethics involved in this matter relates merely to the name under which the visiting team played, and even here there may be no reproach irom the ‘English view- point. For it might be that Oxford officially permitted this team to stand as its representative, Whether or not this would be done, or could be done, the writer cannot say, being unfamiliar with English university procedure. But in country it is certain that if any American team went abroad, say a Harvard-Yale track or tennis com- bination, the authorities of these uni- versities would make certain it was composed completely of students of the two universities, and American followers of amateur sport would not dream of 8ny other arrangement. coming season. lacrosse team, | ANY Washington golfers who are playing in the Washing- | ton Golt and Country Club tourney today and some Who failed to qualify are looking forward to | the annual Spring invitation event of the Woodmont Country Club, which will start next Tuesday over the fine course near Bethesda.

C., THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1930. bia Country Club, in the first of the season's invitation golf tournaments at the Washington Golf and Country Club. Pitt, who won the qualifying round of the tourney yesterday with a score of 73, and Stevinson, holder of the District amateur championship, both were in the top half of the bracket, and if both won thelr first round matches, they were to meet this afternoon. Pitt came up to the eighteenth green late yesterday needing a4 for a card of 72, but he missed a 4- foot putt for that mark. Nevertheless his 73 was good enough to win the medal by a single stroke. Stevinson needed par 4s on the seventeenth and eight- eenth for a 72, but he finished with & brace of 5s for a 74, just a few moments ahead of Pitt. Prior to that time Roger Peacock of Indian Spring and W. J. Cox of Beaver Dam had tied for first place with cards of 75. Withdrawal of several men who registered better than 78 permitted five scores of 78 to make the first flight without a playoff. house yesterday as a decision hinged on the play to the first hole of Maj. Earl N. Naiden of Columbia, Maj. Naiden hooked his initial tee shot out of bounds, played a second ball and holed out in 6 strokes. When he reached the first green he found his first ball with his name on it, on the putting green, and he putted that one out, also holing in three strokes. Think- ing that his first ball may have taken a freak bouncé on the concrete roadway There was a flurry around the club | prior to the qualifying round, but with characteristic generosity, the Washing- ton club added a sixth flight for the visiting players, There were no mishaps or failures to qualify in the first flight, with the exception of Frank K. Roesch, whose score of 80, made on the first qualifying day, was two strokes too high to make the first flight. Everett Eynon’s 79 also was a stroke too high for the first flight. 4 Golfers of the Veterans’ Bureau will gather next Monday at the Beaver Dam Country Club to play in the qualifying round of their tourney. After the quali- fying round a series of flights will be arranged, with a separate flight sched- uled for the women competitors. A permanent trophy is to be awarded for the first flight, and other prizes also will be awarded. About 150 players are scheduled to compete. The tournament committee is composed of F. J. Mc- Donald, J. E. Downin and John E. Upp. RED SOX RELEASE BAYNE. BOSTON, May 1 (#)—The Boston Red Sox have unconditionally released william Bayne, pitcher, to the Chatta- nooga club of the Southern League. at the left of the first fairway, he was in a quandary as to whether his out- going score was 34 or 37. With the first ball the score would have been 34 and with the second ball and a 6 on the hole, his score was 37. Dwight N. Burnham of the Manor Club finally revealed that his caddie had picked up Naiden's ball out of bounds and had dropped 1t on the putting green for Naiden to pick up as he came along behind Burnham. Lots of funny things happened in the medal round. For example there were the consecutive 2s scored on the thirteenth and fourteenth holes by E. F. Wesely of Manor, who holed a pitch shot for an eagie 2 on the par 4 thirteenth and then sank a putt for a birdie 2 on the fourteenth. Burt P. Garnett of Washington, holed his mashie shot for an eagle 2 on the sixth and E. B. Baxter of Manor holed a chip shot for an eagle 3 on the long fifteenth. On the fourth hole the third shot of Walter McCallum of Washing- ton hung 15 feet up in the branches of a cedar tree, and McCallum climbed up in the tree and played it out, ac- cepting a one stroke less rather than the two strokes which the penalty of an unplayable ball would have levied against him. Only five flights were announced ZzZzZZ\\N\\\ \ 2 PLAY THE NEW 1.55-1.68 CLICK COLONEL Lighter and larger, the new 1.55-1.68 golf ball is cutting the scores of thousands.

ROCHESTER, Minn., May 1 (#).—Jack Dempsey, former heavywelght boxing champion yesterday underwent an op- | eration, apparently as a step in physical check-up preceding a decision as to whether he is to attempt a “come- back.” He is resting comfortably. Physicians said the operation was of a minor nature and added that they expected Dempsey to be confined to his bed only a few days. He may leave the hospital within a week or so. The operation was successful, they said, and gave the former champion's condition as “satisfactory.” CLAIREMONT RACKETERS SCORE LEAGUE VICTORY Clairemont defeated Burroughs, 7to1, in the Capitol City Tennis League. ‘The summaries: Singles—Shepherd () defeated Grant, 6—3, 6—3; Ritzenberg (C.) de- feated York, 6—3, 6—2; Roberts (C.) defeated Lawrence, 5, 6—3; O'Brien SIPORTS.
