SPORTS. _C-3 Greatest Marathon Runners of Country Will Compete in Contest Here June 7 NATIONAL T5.MILE CROWN AT STAKE De Mar’s Entry Is Assured for A. A. U. Contest. College Notes. BY H. C. BYRD. AT may be one of the greatest distance races ever held in the Nation- al Capital is the 15-mile run for the Amateur Athletic Union championship of the United States, scheduled Saturday, June 7. The run is to take place under the auspices of the District of Co- lumbia Association of the Ama- teur Athletic Union in co-opera- tion with the Welfare and Recrea- tional Association of Public Build- ings and Grounds. The meet is sanctioned directly by | the Amateur Athletic Union of .the United States as a national champion- ship event. It is expected that the greatest dis- tance runners in the country will come here for the race. Word already has been received that Clarence De Mar, generally regarded as the _greatest marathoner in America, intends to en- ter. And. in addition’ to De Mar, it is likely that the gathering will com- prise the best group of distance men got together in years, according to Win- ifree Johnson, 1046 New Navy Building, who is in charge of the entry list. Course Is Outlined. ‘The course of the run is outlined as starting at the zero milestone at the ‘White House, through Potomac Park ast the Monument and the Lincoln lemorial, along the river from the Lincoln Memorial and thence around the Speedway back to the starting point. Probably no more attractive course could be found anywhere. Without any hint of humor, it is almost neces- sary to mention that it is hardly pos- sible anywhere else to combine a mara- thon run and a sightseeing trip. National A. A. U. medals are to be given for first, second and third places, gold, silver and bronze, respec- tively. District of Columbia Associa- tion of the A. A. U. bronze medals will be awarded to all those who finish within two hours. Dr. O. U. Singer is giving a trophy to the victor, to be won three times for permanent posses- sion. A silver cup is to be the reward to the first District of Columbia runner to finish. A team trophy for teams of three men also is one of the prizes. The local committee managing the event is Dr. O. U. Singer, chairman; Winifree Johnson, Kip Edward, Edward C. Beckett, John O'Reilly, M. C. Rac- clnpi and J. Dewey. The ional A. U. long-distance running committee l.s final authority for the event, which committee is made up of representatives of all A. A. U. districts. H. Obertub- bessing of New York is chairman of that committee. The run is open to all amateur ath- letes registered in the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States and to for- eign athletes whose entries are approved by the foreign relationship committee of their country. Georgetown Plays Temple. Georgetown's ball team came back to Washington yesterday after easily de- feating Seton Hall College, to play again on its home flield this afternoon. The Blue and Gray entertains Temple Uni- versity, which stops here on a three-day trip, the next two games being with the Marines at Quantico. Today's game is to be played on the War College grounds, Maryland’s ball team left last night for Blacksburg, Va., where it opens a three-day trip this afternoon by playing Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Mary- land beat V. P. I, 2 to 1, in & game here two weeks ago. The Old Line team meets Washington and Lee tomorrow and Virginia Military Institute Wednes- d.zy in the other two contests before it returns. ‘The Georgetown-George Washington tennis match this afternoon ought to develop some of the best intercollegiate tennis of the year. The two net squads have shown themselves, when all their players are in action, about the best in the section and among the strongest in the country. Against each other they- ought to put up competition such as is seldom seen on local college courts. Three contests are scheduled for local colleges tomorrow, but only one on a local field. Catholic University plays Mount St. Mary’s at Brookland, the gme marking the second visit of the ountaineers to Washington. The other two contests are for Maryland teams, the nine being at Washington and Lee and the tennis team at Wil- liam and Mary. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Virginia Military Institute engaged in a ball game at Blacksburg Saturday such as is seldom seen on a collegs diamond, the game stretching out to 16 innings and winding up 1 to 0 in favor of V. P. I “Lefty” Willlams, V. M. L’s heretofore undefeated hurler, and “Reg- gle” Mapp, V. P. 1’s slab ace, engaged in a duel that would stand out as a remarkable performance even had it occurred in the big leagues. Mapp al- lowed V. M. I. only six hits, and Wil- liams held down the V. P. I. batters to seven. That would have been good pitching for a nine-inning game. Wil- liams struck out 14 and Mapp 10. That was the most remarkable college ball game that has ever come to the atten- tlon of sports writers in this part of the world. Nothing more extraordinary is remembered in the whole history of college ball. Just what pflphlng means to a col- lege ball team could not better be ex- emplified than by Catholic University's poor showing at Maryland Saturday. ‘The Cardinal pitchers could not get the ball over the plate without centering it, and when Maryland batters did not 1V\alk they lambasted hits all over the ot. And be it said that perhaps C. U. owes something of its poor showing to the fact that its players were not in condition to do their best. Social ac- Sivities in the nature of a big dance + the night before, according to rumor, hardly was conducive to accuracy and slertness nor to improvement of batting ayes. Those who sald the Oxford-Cam- Kridge lacrosse team was weak when it gas defeated here early in the year in dhe opening game of its invasion by St. John's simply failed to take into ac- count that what seemed to be Oxford- Cambridge weakness was in reality St. John’s strength. Any possibility of doubt about that was removed yester- day at College Park. Maryland has a strong lacrosse team, but St. John's simply outclassed it yesterday with what has every appearance of being one of the best college lacrosse teams ever developed. St. John's has a fine group of athletes, far better men as in- dividuals than those who wore Mary- land colors, and they were so well coached that they played with a co- hesion that, as far as almost any col- lege game is concerned, is going to be slmost unbeatable. FLAHERTY HEAD COAC}{ SPOKANE, Wash, May 5 (#).—Ap- pointment of Ray Flaherty, outstand- ing athlete at Gonzaga University in 1923, 1924 and 1925,-as head athletic coach at his alma mater has been an- nounced by Father Danlel Reidy, presi- $ dani of the school. A FAMILY AFFAIR SMM o Mr\mo ur}’”é %flgn HAT are you going to do about those Palfrey girls? Here they are, the oldest only 18, and they already have a strangle-hold on the indoor tennis title of the United-States, and there are all the reasons in the world why one or the other of them should succeed to the throne now occupied by Helen Wills! Tennis critics are already predict- ing a brighter career for Mianne and Sarah Palfrey than that of the fa- mous Sutton sisters, May and violet who did so much in the realms of women'’s tennis. Mianne Palfrey, playing in her first women’s national indoor singles championship, defeated half the noted players, including Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup, in the final, and won the title in so astonishing a manner that she left the crowd, the experts and her opponent gasping for breath like fish out of water. Mrs. Jessup, an experienced and HE Annapolis Roads Golf Club is to stage another invitation golf tournament this year for the Denby Cup. The event will be held earlier in the year than last year, when it was played on October 12 and 13. it s ‘Talbott T. Speer, cl an of club golf committee, has called a meet- ing of his committee for tomorrow night, at which the dates of the tour- nament will be chosen and details ar- ranged. Speer has obtained data on all the tournament dates around Wash- ington and Baltimore and on all tour- naments which might conflict with the Annapolis Roads event, and will make every effort to avoid a conflict, such as there will be between the Chevy Chase Club and the Baltimore Country Club events next week. Last year the tour- ney was held as a 36-hole medal play event, with the chief prize the Denby Cup, presented by Col. Charles Denby, rendent of the club. This affair may doned this year in favor of a mwh-pl-y tourney. One week from today the second big event for women golfers of Washington will start over the course of the Indian Spring Golf Club, when a large field of fair players is to gather for the first round of the 36-hole tourney for The Evening Star trophy. The event will be a 36-hole handicap tourney, with 18 holes scheduled each day, the trophy to go to the player with the Jowest net score for 36 holes. Mrs. Frank R. Keefer, president of the Women’s Dis- trict Golf Assoclation, which will stage the tourney, announces that the course will be open for practice next Friday. The tourney was won last year at Chevy Chase by Mrs. J. N. Hodges. ‘Three events were on today at local clubs. At Congressional the profes- sionals from Wl.lhl.nmn and Baltimore were playing in a 36-hole -mpm.kes tourney. The Women's Golf Associ tion was sponsoring a miniature wul‘nl- ment at the Manor Club, and lfllferl of the Veterans' Bureau were competin g in the qualifying round of the annu bureau tournament at the Beaver Dam Country Club. Meanwhile many of the leading ama- teurs of the city were practicing over the fine course of the Woodmont Coun- try Club in preparation for the invita- tion tourney of the club, which opens tomorrow.

Then Mianne, the 18-year kid, be- came a combination typhoon and whirlwind, and raced through 11 straight games without losing one! She then won, 7—5, 6—2, in one of the most astounding comebacks in tennis history. But what about Sarah, Mianne's younger sister, who had been one of the sensations of the women’s out- door championships at Forest Hills last Summer, defeating Mrs. Shep- herd-Barron of the English Wight- man Cup team, among others? Pre- vious to that tournament she had won the Eastern women’s singles title at Rye. Well, little Sarah won her third successive doubles title, paired with Mrs. Wightman, who, it may be said here, has given no end of time and energy in developing the Pal- frey sisters’ tennis. Sarah and Mianne held a monop- oly on the girls’ indoor and outdoor titles for several years. Now they are apparently going to have a mo- nopoly on more grown-up honors. STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE Mrs. Alma von Steinner and R. M.

FULLER, JR. ASTERN HIGH'S base ball team will be after its ninth straight victory in public high school championship play when it faces Tech tomorrow afternoon in the Cen- tral Stadium at 3:45 o'clock. It will be the opening game in the current title set for the Light Blue. Last season and in 1028 Eastern swept opponents in each set. There is much speculation as to whether Coach Chief Guyon's boys can maintain their clean slate this Spring. The Lincoln Parkers have lost valuable material through graduation. The big- gest question is whether Dick Lanahan, who appears to be the class of Eastern’s mound corps, is good enough. Eastern’s pitchers have been the biggest factor in the team’s success the past two seasons. Last Spring it was Bud Hanna, and the year before Andy Oehmann, who came through in stellar style on the mound for the Light Blue. Lanahan has shown impressively in pre-series games, and Eastern followers will be opposed 8-4 game with Western last Tuesday, and though he showed well at times his exhibition on the whole was disappoint- Kinley will be a body blow to its title hopes. Record for Two Years. That Eastern deserved to win the title the past two seasons is shown in the fact that it captured six of its eight games in easy style. Here is the Light Blue’s record: 1928 Serdes. Eastern, 2; Central, 1. Eastern, 6; Tech, 3. 9; Western, 2. 1929 Beries. 8; Western, 7. 9; Central, 1. Business, 8. Eastern, Tech, 7. In the brlgh&est ball game scheduled tomorrow aside from the Eastern-Tech clash, Gonzaga and Western will face on the Gonzaga field The Purple and Red are old athletic foes, and their clashes are always interesting. Other diamond encounters tomorrow will bring together Central and Mary- land Freshmen at College Park, Devitt and Georgetown Freshmen on the lat- ter's fleld and Business and Episcopal at Alexandria. Gonzaga and Friends’ are to meet at Friends’ and Devitt and Georgetown Prep at Garrett Park in Prep School Tennis League matches. Devitt and Catholic University Preshmen were to face at Brookland and Geargetown Prep and Gonzaga at Gonzaga in diamond brushes today. Tech and Friends' were to battle it out in a tennis match on the Friends’ courts. MT.

Although no public statement has been made about Miss Jacobs' illness, the Herald-Tribune learned of it through a letter written by Miss, Ja- cobs to a friend. For a long time the nature of the {llness was not known, and there was no apparent explanation for the defeats Miss Jacobs received in the Riviera tournaments.
