£ FOUR DAYS LEFT T0 GET IN NAVES Duffers Have Chance to Win Prizes in Metropolitan Title Tournament. I I pitchers! Wednesday the deadline will fall. Entry blanks are available at every playground in the city and the form is being published daily in The Star. A The tournament will be run strictly on schedule and to do this it will be impracticable to accept applications at the last minute. It will require the better part of a week to prepare pairings for the eighty- odd preliminaries to be held here and publish the starting times. This applies only to Washington. The out-of-town preliminaries are being managed by local chairmen, who are governed by local conditions. Some will keep open’ the lists until play com- mences. ‘The entries may be sent either to the Horseshoe Editor or turned over to a playground director. The big idea at this moment, if you desire to take part in a whooping big tournament, is to shoot in that entry! ND don't be backward, you fellows who “haven't a chance.” Most of those who won prizes in the 1929 tour- nament had the same opinion of them- URRY along those entries, you Washington horseshoe selves at the start and sought only a| bit of recreation. They got lots. + They came to know the modern horse- shoe game as one that calls for more general athletic ability than was im- led. About one in several hundred pitchers in this part of the country can throw ringers consistently. About 90 per cent of them are content to score close shoes, with a 3-pointer every now and then. HERE the ordinary pitcher shines is in the preliminaries, each of which is a championship event, with either a town or community title at stake. If he can win one of these, ,” as they say, something.” OUNG HUBBARD QUANTRILLE, the Plaza division champion, has improved his game by practicing a three-quarter turn. He has been coached by Earle Crane, a veteran who went far in last year's tournament. And now it wouldn't be surprising if Crane has undone himself for there is a strong possibility that somewhere along the line he will be called upon to meet Quantrille. Hubbard will compete in the Buchanan school preliminary and Crane will attempt to qualify for divis- ional play in the plaza playground event. If both win, or finish second, they will be thrown together in the same play-offs. Quantrille modestly avers Crane is “s bit too much” for him. Crane is reluctant to admit it. “He'll cause trouble for anybody he meets in the tournament,” is Earle's tribute to the youth. LEVELAND PARK Dpitchers are get- ting ready for another bang-up preliminary. The chairmanship has been transferred by Walter S. Steele to Fred A. Christoff, who was runnerup last year to Robert Buzzard. Steele will help but wants more time to pitch. 1It’s nobody’s set-up to manage a horse- shoe tournament properly and the pitchers of Cleveland Park quite properly are fussy about having things done shipshape. Under Steele’s manage- ment they had the best conducted pre- liminary in Washington last year. ‘The Cleveland Park event, although not to be held on a public playground, will be open to any resident of the sec- tion. In fact, Christoff issues a gen- eral invitation. Those who desire to compete may reach him at 3817 Ordway street northwest, telephone Cleveland 1742, or they may turn in their entries to the horseshoe editor. 'D EDMONSTON and Ed Pearce, Peoples Drug Store team, are still | looking for matches. They may be reached at the Peoples warehouse. They're dangerous. Edmonston is said to have shot 10 straight ringers in a recent match. ROM the Hyattsville correspond- ent: “Indications are that Hyattsville, which had a highly successful horseshoe tourna- ment last year under auspices of The Star, will have an even more successful event this Summer. John Henry Hiser, hustling sports promoter, who handled the tournament in 1929, is again in charge. “Merle Heilman, who won the Hyatts- ville title last year and then went on to gain Prince Georges County honors, will have no easy time retaining his laurels, judging from the hard work being put in by shoe hurlers on various courts about town. “Tom Garrison, picturesque detective and until a few years ago one of the oldest officers of Prince Georges County in point of service, and a group of warm rivals gather almost every evening on a court near the Garrison home, and thnose who have watched the contests say that all of them are putting up a brand of flinging that stamps them as dangerous contenders for county ‘honors. “‘Magruder Park, the scene of last year's tournament, is drawing a group of flingers each evening. Among the best are Gene Burgess, Joseph Hill and Hob James. All are hopeful of high honors in the tournament.” MARCEY 1S LEADER _ AT BENNING TRAPS Breaking 48 out of 50 targets, J. Marcey pointed the way to a field of 15 contestants to win the scratch trophy at 16 yards in the regular weekly trap- shoot of the Washington Gun Club held yesterday over the traps at Benning. Livesey, Wilson, Dr. Parsons and Dr. Stine pressed Marcey, each scoring 47. Six shooters tied with a gross 50 in the added-target handicap trophy event, ‘which was won by Dr. Parsons. Close competition developed in the handicap contest for legs on the Trophies. Britt, with 25 straight, was victor in the first event, while Wilson, Strowger, Wi and , each with 24, took legs in the second com- lon.

Pitchers Urged to Speed Eniries : 27 Capital City Tilts on List Today FEARED IN COMING STRUGGLE FOR METROPOLITAN SHOE TITLE EARLE CRANE, Probably the most colorful pitcher in The Star’s tournament last year, who is priming for the second annual tourney, to open a week from next Wed- nesday.

STAN. ¢¢ ] S Mr. Baker at home?” injuired a tired, dusty youth standing in front of a house at Easton, Md. “Why, Mr. Baker doesn't live here in Easton,” declared the man who answered the doorbell; “he lives at ‘Trappe, which is about seven miles from here.” “Well, I've walked all the way from Washington, so I guess a few more miles won't hurt me,” muttered the young man as he hit the road again. Marcus Chaconas wanted to play pro- fessional base ball the worst way. One day, after leaving Gonzaga High School, he read that the famous Frank “Home- run” Baker was about to start the sea- son at Easton as manager and Marcus made up his mind to try for a job under his diamond hero. Chaconas had no traveling dough, bui there was nothing shy about his | dogs or his will. That was about three years ago. Marcus walked as far as Annapolis and was confronted with the problem of getting across the river, But some kind-hearted traveler came to his aid and took him across the The Star’s E Horseshoe Pitching Tourney ners-up to meet for State honors. Washington, Maryland and Virginia champions to play for metropolitan title. All prizes to be presented by The Washington Star.

Playground directors will be in charge of Washington neigh- borhood events and town tour- naments will be conducted by local leaders. American Horseshoe Pitchers' Assoclation rules will govern.

He plodded onward, and | when he finally reached his destination | he lost no time in making clear to the | once famous home-run hitter that he | was confident he could play ball and all he wanted was a trial. Baker took kindly to the lad. From | that time on, until Baker resigned as | manager, Marcus was a mainstay. He played the outfield, the infield and took a regular turn in the box, winning con- | sistently for a last-place team, | He was regarded as one of the best | pitchers in the Eastern Shore League. | His battery mate was Jimmy Foxx, now | of the Athletics. When Frank Baker quit, Cha | didn’t linger. He came back to Gt conas eorge- |town and resumed his place in the! Georgetown A. C. line-up. This year the Georgetown A. C. has no team and Chaconas, shifting scenery for the first time in almost 10 years, is socking the ball for Bill Flesters French A. C. His average is .750. In the Terminal League he is riding the apple at a clip of .769, with most of his hits good for extra bases. Chaconas is one reason why Flester's club is high in the running for the un- :l‘mit%dl c}:ux‘x;nlonshlp.

Fencing also was installed at the Athens institution, Growth of this sort means a di- versity of interest most valuable, not only in the way of adding that color to a schedule of sports which variety brings, but in providing activities for students who have not found them- selves in games that have existed on the program. | | | | ST.

This is the opinion of Arthur A. Greene, general chairman of the col- ored tournament, after a survey of the field, which includes hundreds of play- ers not only in Washington, but North- ern Virginia and Southern Maryland. Warren Walker, hustling chairman of the Hyattsville tournament, has an- nounced that the .colored metropolitan crown will be worn by the Maryland State champion and he also avers that |.the State champion will be none other than Franklin Marshall, Marshall captured the Maryland title ir 1929 and was runner-up to Baylor in the metropolitan finals. He is prim- ing dally and has been going great James taking the measure of their op- ponents in machine-like fashion. Both twirlers were in fettle for the crucial battle. Marshall put up a hard fight and it was a thriller from the start. Ringer after ringer was , but James proved he was the master by taking two of the three games played. In the county championships James was eliminated early by Tilghman, the North Brentwood champion, while Mar- shall carried everything before him to' capture the title from" Tilghman. The State final was another fight between Tilghman and Marshall and that con- Marshall Threatens Baylor’s Colored Horseshoe Supremacy for plenty of b.ntlmg if he is to keep | slstent open shoe that Marshall throws again pushed him to higher honors. He won in straight games and covered the peg 36 times, while Tilghman threw 20 ringers. | Baylor ran up a long unbroken string of victories in 1929. He defied suc- cessfully not only the skill of foemen, but the law of averages, which decrees an occasional trimming for even the best horseshoe pitchers. Learning a lesson from Baylor's suc- cess, scores of colored pitchers have been toiling ambitiously to perfect an “open” shoe style and some are suc- ceeding. By the time competition opens, a week from next Wednesday, Baylor likely will have some formidabie rivals. Anyway, Chairman Greene thinks so. In the meantime, the prospect is for a bigger and better tournament. Greene has been crusading for weeks in the in- terest of horseshoe pitching. As phy- sical director of the Twelfth street branch Y. M. C. A. he has taken hold of the game with enthusiasm not only because of its rgll”llyllel.l training quali- ties, but its wos as a sport. It is be- no mean athletic distinction to be a crack horseshoe pitcher, for suc- cess cannot be achieved without con- "??’:hs:&min t few expert ringer at few throwers are developed inside of three years. However, the career of Baylor tends to refute this. Last year was his first :n ‘t:uniu':\ent competition, bufltg:: swep victory over a large learning as he went. Wednesday.

FRANK LE BARON, | His 7-pound trout won the award offered by Rod and Stream for the largest fish caught in salt water during June. 12 miles above Solomons Island, on June ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER. | RANK LE BANO, 1107 Eleventh street northwest, won the salt- water prize and Frederick B. Mills, 44 Longfellow street northwest, captured the freshwater prize in the rod and stream monthly fishing contest. Le Bano, fishing at Calvert Beach Saturday, June 28, landed a 7-pound trout. He used a hand line baited with a large plece of cooked shrimp. Le Bano says he felt a terrific jerk on his line and commenced to pull in, having no idea what kind of a fish he had until it was in the boat. It won for him a handsome Kingfisher rod, a Fox free spool surf reel and 100 yards of 30-pound test linen line. He was delighted with his prize. Mills landed a rock fish weighing 14 | pounds while fishing in the Potomac | River under Chain Bridge on June 4. Mills is an experienced angler. He went up the river after large rock fish and when he got his strike he knew exactly what he had hooked. He said | it took him about 20 minutes to subdue | his prize and get him in the boat. Mills lost no time entering his fish in the He was awarded a Heddon rod, Shakespear level winding reel and 50 'yards of 18-pound test Japanese silk ‘line. with his prize. Despite the heavy downpours of last week, fishing conditions were not seri- ously affected. The Potomac is re- orted in good shape and the Shenan- doah, both at Harpers Ferry and at Riverton, where the north and south branches join, is reported to be clear. The one bass stream reported muddy is the Monecacy. While fishing in Fort Channel, James W. Mason of Beaufort, N. C., hooked a large black fish, and when he pulled his catch into his boat discovered a 11;-foot shark clinging to it. The shark evidently grabbed the black fish | Jjust as the latter took the hook. Re- fusing to turn loose, the shark wui landed along with the fish. The Washington, D. C., Chapter of the I. W. L. A, through the efforts of Its president, Dr. D'Arcy Magee, and others, and with the able assistance of members of Congress, chief among whom was Judges Evans of Montana, | pushed to a suceessful conclusion the | | bill to_prohibit interstate shipment of | the junior eight—by three lengths, with | black bass in the United States. This bill, when signed by the President, will offer great protection to bass. It is always a good plan on traveling into new country to inquire of the natives regarding the prevailing weather signs and probabilities. For instance, there is always one wind that com- monly brings rain, another that pre- vails only during fair weather, and 50 on. Every district, too, has its old tradi- | tional signs, such as, for fair weather | cobwebs on wet grass, crimson sunset,‘ swallows flying high, rainbow at night, heavy dew in the evening. Bad weather | Mills also was carried away | fish. His catch w: as made at Calvert Beach, 28. . Indications, woodpeckers and bluejays very noisy, swallows flying low, sun shining through watery haze, rainbow in the morning, a halo round the moon, dark clouds blown rapidlg under lighter ones. These are only a few of the an- cient rules, many of them being good | enough, at least, to give fair warning. ‘Walter H. Hull writes in asking for a little information For his guidance and others interested, we give the fol- lowing: | Q. What are the rates chargad for taking out parties for salt water fishing at various fishing grounds? A. The majority of salt water fishing guides charge $10 a day for still fishing and $15 a day for trolling. For a morning or afternoon outing tie usual charge is $5. There are some places that charge $1.25 per head and there is another | place where the charge is $2 an hour. | What we would like to see would be a uniform rate at the different fishing | grounds. Q. What are the rates for skiffs rented by the day? A. Usually 50c or perhaps $1 a day. Q. What kind of fish are caught in the Potomac nearby Washington? | A. Catfish, large and small mouth bass, perch, herring and striped bass or rock: The baits inostly used are min- nows, bloodworms, peeler crabs and | shrimp. The big rockfish are usually caught on cut herring. | Q. Where can I get a copy of the | laws regulating fishing, both fresh and salt water, in this vicinity? A. Copies of the fishing laws may be obtained from the clerk of the court of Alexan- dria for Virginia and the clerk of the court at Rockville for Maryland.
