BY FEW ENTRANTS Y Ninety Per Cent Limit Their * Quest to Neighborhood > and Town Crowns. as 7. “\HE clank of horseshoe against | ” stake will resound through- | out the Metropolitan Dis- i trict of Washington late to- day, when several thousand pitchers start competition in the second annual tournament spon- sored by The Star. They will battle for local cham- nships in all the neighbor- ds of Washington and in towns and communities of nearly o score of counties in Northern Virginia and Southern Maryland. There will be nearly 80 preliminaries in Washington alone, with one on every playgrcund. Half of these will get un- der way today and the others next ‘Wednesday. Elsewhere on this page is printed a list of playgrounds where the entries have been kept open until next Monday. Every winner of a preliminary will be presented a medal by The Star, em- blematic of a town or community cham- pionship, and the runner-up will be given the privilege of carrying on in quest of higher honors and awards. Washington has been laid out into eight divisions, each containing a num- ber of playgrounds, and there will be play-offs of champions and runners-up of preliminaries for divisional _titles. The next stage of competition will be play-offs of divisional winners and run- ners-up for sectional honors, there be- ing a West and East section, each con- taining four divisions. In the all-Washington final, the sec- tional winners and runners-up will clash. The same general plan will be fol- Jowed in Northern Virginia and South- ern Maryland, with the finalists of town tournaments meeting for county titles and the county finalists battling for State honors. Topping off the tournament will be o 'grand finale, bringing_together the Washington, Northern Virginia and Southern Maryland chlm{flum. Play in Washington prelim day was to start at 5:30 o'clock. entrants are asked to appear shortly before that time. It is likely that ail will have a chance to play first-round matches today in tournaments where the entry is not large and In where many are to compete the players | Tho, can obtain from playground directors definite times for future matches. : NE tournament here already is un- der way, with pitchers of Cleveland Park engaged. It was started Monday under the direction of F. Christoff. The first match was played by two Spanish-American War veterans, O. E. Gelbrick and Charles Harlow. It was a tight battle part of the way, but Har- low finally “got hot” and pulled away to & 50-to-18 victory. The game ran into 60 innings with each tossing 122 shoes. Ronald Buckley of the Bureau of Standards and R. E. Spencer of the United States Weather Bureau fought 1t out for 92 innings, with Spencer win- ning by 50 to 35, having taken the lead, in the fifty-ninth frame. Each tossed 184 shoes. Chairman Christoff is running off two matches an evening and managing the tournament in true Cleveland Park style, this preliminary having been prob- ably the best handled of the ‘metropoli- tan affair last year, with Walter 8. Steele as director. In the Cleveland Park event there are ground tenders, stake umpires, official scorekeepers, scoreboard returns and a strict adher- ence to all the rules of championship ‘competition. In last night's matches John 8. Cal- wvert defeated George Larkin, 50 to 40, each recording three ringers, and Bobby Steele, aged 14, but asking no quarter from any one in this tournament, ¢rimmed S. A. Jackson, 50 to 30. Steele Mnade three ringers and Jackson two. CONSPICUOUS figure these days is Millard E. Peake, the tall ex- mounted sheriff of Montgomery County, who wears the metropolitan crown. There is about an even chance that Peake this year won't get past the pre- liminaries, ‘for Charles A. Fort, who won the Washington championship in 1929, is bearding the lion in his den. Fort, having recently switched his resi- dence from Washington to Montgomery County, is entered at Bethesda, where Peake holds forth. Peake beat him in the grand finale last year, but it was a struggle that kept & capacity gallery on pins and needles. Yea, bo, that was a ding- dong battle! Tmulouo(mmfof'm tion over who will succeed Fort as ‘Washington champ. Nine-tenths or more of the Capital City entrants aren't concerned with that title. They feel they have no chance for the higher honors but are content to put up & afiht for neighborhood and divisional s, There are a select few whose ambi- tion is unlimited. Several of these only recently joined the ranks of Washington slipper slammers. ERE'S a champion who admits he very likely will lose his title. Writes R. L. Greene, champion and chairman at Germantown, Md.: “I look for either Franklin Waters or Del Griffin to win the tournament here. Anyway, they are showing lots of class in practice matches and seem to be proving each day.” Greene will start his tournament to- night at 6:45 o'clock on a court along- side J. J. Snyder's garage. Among_ the contestants will be the Rev. W. H. Topping. HEY'RE all set for a big tournament at Riverdale Heights with Clinton F.

The tenta- tive part of it is the weather. “Tolley said he would compete un- less the weather got hot,” Don K. Moe of Portland, Oreg, the defending West- ern _champion, said. and doesn’t want to play golf in that kind of hot weather again.” ‘T.
