SPORTS. Fort Goes After Horseshoe Champion : Cagle Not Worried About Coaching Job AY NEET PEAKE -~ INEARLY BATTLE Metropolitan Finalists Last Year Wil Compete in Bethesda Tourney. HARLES A. FCRT, ho shoe champion of Wa. ington, who recently be- came a resident of Glen Echo, has picked, perhaps, the toughest preliminary of The Star’s Metropolitan District tournament to do his early pitching. Fort will compete at Bethesda, where he is likely to encounter none other than the Metropolitan champion, Millard E. Peake. However, it is far from a certainty that either will win the Bethesda title There are several other formidable pitchers in that fourishing suburb. Fort and Peake are old rivals. For- tune favored the tall Bethesdan when he defeated Fort, a Government scien- in the final match of the Mary rginia-Washington play-off last Before taking on Peake, Fort played a gueling match with Alexan- der Kirchner, the Northern Virginia champion, and it was fatigue late in his battle with Peake that decided the issue. There was little doubt that Fort was Peake's equal under ordinary con- ditions. Both displayed marked game- ness, which is a more important virtue in horseshoe competition than the un- initiate might think Stamina played a large part in the determining_of every major champion last vear. In each State play-off the victor was the man who drew the bye in a three-man final ROOKE GRUBB, manager of the Silver Spring Giants, has taken charge of Silver Spring’s horse- shoe tournament, which means that it will be well handled. Brooke is one of the most enterprising sports pro- moters about Washington, and he is bent upon having a large entry at Sil- ver Spring, where more than 150 pitch- ed last year. However, Grubb isn't likely to beat the 1929 entry which included many | Washingtonians, now barred from the Maryland section of the tournament. He will be assisted by Townsend Howes of the Maryland News editorial stafl. Grubb may extend the entry deadline, which has been set for next Wednesday. Chairmen of Maryland and Virginia preliminaries have this privilege. MMETT PAUL SAUNDERS, chair- man at Lyon Park, observes that his community “isn't horseshoe minded.” but just the same he has an entry of 32, which is uncommonly large for a village of Lyon Park’s dimensions. Horseshoe pitching is extremely con- tagious, as it were. What started out to Ryan, E. E. Mottern, Walter Ludwig, Paul ‘'W. Shiely, Emile Krause, Henry Marston, B. H. Toulotte, D. L. Shepherd, Otto H. Schuster, J. C. Dyer, Eugene | Harpole, L. N. Barnard, W. C. Dave Crickenberger, Francis L. Fisher, E. Paul Saunders, Henry Hartung, P. Franklin Little, anard Saunders, W. Fletcher, Harry Vinson, W. Pfeiffer, Basil Gordon, and, last but not lea | P. F. Taylor, who is one strapping fel- | low. Of| + YON PARK may ot be horseshoe minded, but Lyon Village certainly is. Several courts kept busy over there | The other day Forrest Stieg, Lyon | Village chairman, and Jim Chinn were | inveigled into an informal tournament {at Piney Point. Several pitchers were taking on all covers and cleaning up. But they got “cleaned” by Stieg and Chinn, who lost nary a game. URCELLVILLE, in Loduoun County, is bent upon producing the North- ern Virginia champion. One of its leading candidates is S. P. Edmonston, who will_direct the Purceliville prelim- inary. Others who figure to do well most are include Lester Wortman, J. D. Edmon- | ston, John J. Hall, C. L. Lee, E. H. True. Francis McDaniel, J. T. Keesling, H Irwin Little, H. Adams, Ernest Lemon, Elmer McDonalc, Samuel Edmonston and Everett Hogan 'TONY WAGNER HEADS HORSESHOE TOSSERS Tony Wagner has been appointed chaimnan of the Frederick, Md., colored horseshoe tourney. Toney is a member of the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A. track team but lives in Frederick. He asserts that Robert and James Hill will not |only play in the State finals, but that one of the two will wear the metropoli- tan crown. Robert Hill is quoted as | scoring a ringer an inning. Entries are flowing in from Dunkirk, Md. The Mackel brothers, crack base ball players, will handle the local pre- liminary. By Clarence A.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE OB BARNETT, the affable and popular professional golfer at the Chevy Chase Club, who holds the Middle Atlantic professional match play championship, is at Gar- field Hospital today, recovering from an operation. He collapsed yesterday in the dining room of the club and was rushed to the hospital, where he spent a comfortable night and underwent what was termed a “minor” operation today. For several months Barnett has not been feeling well and, although he went through a complete physical examina- tion, his ailment was mnot disclosed. Yesterday he arose from the table in the dining room, after lunching at the b, and collapsed. He was taken im- mediately to the hospital, where his ailment was diagnosed as gall stones His associates in the golf shop at Chevy Chase today were hopeful that he will be out of the hospital within a few day: | although it is doubtful whether Barnett will be able to play golf for several weeks. | Page Hufty, former champion of the Congressional Country Club, is a stroke in the van in the race for the ringer tourney which started at Congressional on April 15 and will end October 31, Hufty has scored birdies on all the holes and has picked up one eagle for a ringer score of 28—26—54.

There may be some team matches before the championship. The woman’s championship will, it is believed, also be better than usual, as the best woman players in Europe have planned to take part. This is a big tennis year. One foreign player who should surely attract attention is G. Lyttleton Rogers the Irishmsn. He nds 6 feet 17 inches and weighs about 200 pounds.
