Calfee, The Star’s correspondent in Culpeper, Va.: “Climbing into the region of the hundred mark is the list of entries for the Culpeper tournantent, for Chairman Dick Weaver took full advantage of the week of grace allowed towns in Mary- Jand and Virginia and has been adding to his already fullsome list of entries every day. ‘'With practically all of the old-timers on hand and almost an equal number of new players, the chances are that Culpeper will have one of the largest and best tournaments in the entire cir- cuit and perhaps turn out the State champion. Young George W. Hawkins, county champion last year, is slinging some mighty pretty shots i the practice bouts these days, and there are a score of others, among whom may be men- tioned R. D. Spotswood, John Smith (runner-up last season), Wade Massie, jr.; Russell Guinn, A. 8. White (member of the County Board of Supervisors), J. Wester Quaintance, who won the horse- shoe pitching prize given by The Star| at the Culpeper Fair last year, and | Chairman Weaver himself, who are hard to beat. “The three Culpeper women whose entries were reported the other day have been joined by a fourth, Mrs. R, R. Tolbert, wife of the principal o!\ Culpeper High School. The women | were all fer piaying in the men's tour- | nament, but Chairman Weaver wouldn't | allow it. What Yirginian would want | to beat a woman—even pitching horse- shoes?” | — | ONIGHT'S pairings for the Seat| Pleasant tournament follow: Louls | Palmer vs. Hardesty, W. Maloney vs. I. Main, E. F. Roberson vs. E. McChesney: J. C. Blackwell vs. D. Chaney, F. F. Martin vs. K. Nugent. For tomorrow night—Willlam Bettis vs. P. Kraft, E, Chatterton vs. H. Donn, J. E. Quintrell vs. W. Phelps, B. Boyer vs. O. E. Lamp, E. Hayes vs. B. Hoar. LIMINATION play has started at Wynnewood Park, in Montgomery County, Md. Karl Jarrell, after trailing Jack Blades during the early play, came from behind to win by & score of 21 to 12. Branson Thomas also staged a rally to win frem John Mec« Kinsey by a score of 21 to 8, never be- fng headed after overtaking his eppo- nent. Howard Bailey defeated George Poston, 23 to 8. Poston’s shoe knocked Bailey's on for a ringer in the final box. Howard Kacey and Oscar Blades, two who are predicted to play in the semi~ finals, will get into action tonight, and Joseph C. Cissel, unoffieial champion of the Park, will pitch against Thomas E. Jarrell on Sunday. .
