THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D O JULY 20; 1930—PART FIVE. Navy Net Team Retains Leech Cup : Night Sandlot Foot Ball League Considered SCORES OVER ARMY FFTH TIV N RO Takes 6 of 7 Matches, One by Default in Which a 15-13 Set Figures. N annual Leech Cup tennis matches when it handily defeated Army, 6 to 1, yesterday afternoon on the Chevy Chase Club courts. After winning three of the four sin- gles encounters the Sailors cleaned up in the three doubles, capturing the No. 1 match in this division by default after Army had taken a 15-13 second-set Marathon to make the set score 1-all. With darkness approaching Army de- faulted the match to enable Lieut. G. W. Smith and Comdr. C. C. Gill to qualify for the national doubles cham- pionships at Boston, August 25. At the conclusion of play Assistant Secretary of the Navy Ernsst Lee Jahncke introduced Abner Y. Leech, jr., donor of the handsome cup bearing his name, which he presented. Mr. Jahncke complimented the players upon their fine spirit and expressed the hope that the competition would pave the way for the resumption of the Army-Navy foot ball game. Lone Army Victor. ‘To Lieut. Stanley K. Robinson went the honor of winning the lone Army conquest. He vanquished Ensign Jimmy Farrin in a stubbornly fought three-set match, 4—6, 6—3, 8—6. It was the only singles match to go to extra sets. Defeat of Maj. Robert C. Van Vliet, jr., clever Army racketer, at the hands .of Lieut. R. M. Watt, jr, in the No. 1 singles was something of a surprise in its decisiveness. Sharper competition developed in the doubles, two of the three matches being sternly contested. Ensigns Howard and Farrin did not have a lot of difficulty brushing aside Lieuts. Hedekin and Rob- inson, but Lieuts. R. W. Dole and Watt had to battle energetically fo conquer Maj. J. H. Hills and Maj. L. 8. Hobbs, 6—8, 6—3, 6—3, Stage Lengthy Set. Judging from that 15—13 second set in the Smith-Gill and Van Vliet-Fin- ley match, this engagement might still be going on. After the Navy had come through with its 6—4 wia in the open- ing set it became a great fight, with both teams showing strongly. Navy has won the Leech Cup five times, against two wins for the Army. ‘The Soldiers gained the trophy in 1924, the first year the cup was in compe- tition, and again in 1925. Since then NNI:K has taken it cach season. SINGLES—Lieut. R. M. Watt, sr. (N.) defeated Maj. Rovert C. Van ' Viiet, ir. , 6—3; Lieut. G. W.

Into- Doubles Final of Clay Court Play. the Associatec Press. ANSAS CITY, July 19.—The three ranking tennis players of the Missouri Valley, two East- erners and a player from the Old South will compete tomorrow for the singles and doubles championships of the twenty-first annual national clay courts tennis tournament. Championship pairings finally were determined today. Wilbur F. (Junior) Coen, Kansas City, advanced to singles finals, with a straight set triumph over Herbert L. Bowman, New York City. ‘The defending doubles pair, Frederic Mercur and J. Gilbert Hall, Harrisburg, Pa., and Orange, N. J., defeated Frank Shields and Emmett Pare, New York and Dayton. Coen won 6—2, 6—2, 6—3, and Mercur and Hall remained in competition with a 6—3, 6—3, 3—86, 6—1 victory. Coen will play Bryan Grant, jr., 18- year-old Atlanta, Georgian, of a well known tennis family, and Mercur and Hall will meet Wray Brown and Harris Coggeshall, St. Louls and Des Moines. Grant went to the finals yesterday after a hard-fought 5-set struggle with Bruce +| Barnes, Austin, Tex., and Brown and Coggeshall eliminated Fred Royer and Iatll.u.s ‘Thalheimer, Chicago, in straight sets. Coen and Bowman today played three sets of orthodox tennis, with no spec- tacular shots to arouse the calm gal- lery. The douvles were more entertain- ing, but both teams were erratic and the tennis displayed was far from championship caliber. Bowman's straight set elimination was a surprise to critics and tennis fol- lowers, as the seventeenth ranking player in the Nation is credited with being able to win a set from almost any one he plays, Coen played perhaps his best tennis of the tournament and his accurate placements could not be equalled by the New Yorker, who ap- peared sluggish and reluctant to exert himself. Pare and Shields teamed well together at times, especially in the third set, which they won, but most of the match d | Shields was driving outside or into the net on his service and was wild on y back court returns. Pare showed flashes of spirit as did Mercur. In the fourth set the cham- plons appeared benefited by the period rest and mowed through their oppo- sition with the loss of but one game.

Besides track, fleld and fencing, they | will be able to compete in gmynas- tics, swimming, tennis and skating. 21 Foot Ball Players Among 39 Graduated Hoya Athletes P the 39 Georgetown University athletes who have been lost by graduation, 21 were foot ball players. Those who made Hoya gridiron his- tory who have graduated include Re- tiring Capt. Jim Mooney, Sam Cordo- vano, Robert Gehringer, Paul Liston, Kenneth Provincial, Harold Wynkoop, Chatles Walsh and three regular backs, Johnny Hudak, Ben Schmid and Steve Bnrsbny.s. 1t would seem that such losses should be most discouraging to a new coach, but not so with Tommy Mills, who has hopes of producing the same high-caliber team as has carried the Blue and Gray the past five years. Nine have been lost from the track team. Karl Wildermuth, intercollegiate 100-yard champion in 1929, and Leo Sexton, highest point scorer in the in- door intercollegiates, will be most missed. Maurice McCarthy, captain of the basket ball team the past season, has graduat- ed along with four other members of the court squad. In addition to his bas- ket ball prowess, McCarthy was selected for the United States Walker Cup golf team, but was unable to compete cause of the pressure of studies. Four members of the crack Georgetown base ball team, regarded as just about the class of Eastern intercollegiate circles last season, have been lost, including two who are playing organized ball. Ralph McCarthy, who was captain, is with Toronto in the International League, and Johnny Dunn is with Al- bany in the Eastern League. age of 90 or better for four years.

REGATTA WILL HAVE 20 OR MORE EVENTS Twenty, and Jossibly thirty, races will be run in the third annual Tri- City Regatta at Herald Harbor August 2 and 3, under the auspices of the Chesapeake and Potomac Power Boat Association, it was announced last night by Commodore Edmund F. Jewell. The demand of racing drivers and power boat owners for races open to all types of craft has caused a revision of regatta plans, Commodore Jewell said the Maryland Yacht Club will make the regatta the opening event of its annual cvuise. Due to the different sizes of boats entered. this will be a handicap affair. It will start from the Maryland Yacht Club, with the finish at Herald Harbor. Gov. Ritchie of Maryland and Ad- miral Robison, commandant of the Na- val Academy, have been invited to attend. Eight entries have been received so far for the runabout races, including Peter Pan, owned by W. E. Johnsoni two of the large 235-horsepower Gar Woods, owned by the Tyler Boat Co.; Dobson's 225-horsepower speed boat Pep, Endnlwc of Ray Thompson's Christ raft. E. C. Baltz, chairman of the Racing Committee, has received 30-odd entries, with the bulk to come in during the week preceding the regatta. very power boat owner is eligible for some event. Entry blanks may be obtained from E. A. Zimmerman, 1317 l: street; E. C. Eleventh street, or any motor room in Weshington. Baltz, 500 boat sales A lone upset marked opening day’s play yesterday in the annual District public parks tennis championships. This was supplied by George Considine, brother of Bob Considine, District sin- gles champion and defending public parks title holder, who triumphed over Gilbert Hunt, runner-up in the Dis- trict boys' championships. The scores were 6—2, 3—6, 6—2. Bob Considine reached the third round when he brushed aside Elwood Hoffecker, 6—0, 6—1, the second round. Dooly Mitchell, runner-up to Considine in the 1929 championships, and seeded No. 2, and Maurice O'Neill, seeded No. 3, and all other favorites also came through with wins yesterday. An_interesting match today will find the Considine brothers meeting in a third-round encounter at 3 o'clock on the Rock Creek courts. Bob, who is a | crown, doubtless will find his brother a stout opponent, though he is expected to win without a great deal of difficulty. Winners of second-round matches at Potomac and Monument courts are to report at 2 o'clock today at Rock Creek courts for third-round tests. Dooly Mitchell is to engage Clyde Smith at 10 o'clock this morning on the Monument courts. Maurice O'Neill will face Muscoe Garnett at the same time on_the Potomac courts. Five first-round matches and one second-round test were disposed of in the women's division yesterday, and the women _continue competition today at competing in the tournament this year for the first time.

EW YORK, July 19.—Those who saw Frank Shields win the New York State singles champion- ship in tennis at Syracuse saw a youngster who has it in him to be | Tilden's successor. Whether or not he | will take advantage of his natural as- set and rise to his opportunity remains to be sen}. Itl rests with Shields and with Shields alone. The boy now stands 6 feet 2 in his sneakers, has plenty of physique, a blazing service and possesses about all the strokes known to tennis. To date he has not taken himself seriously, and there are those who fear he never will. If he does not, it will not be because of lack of advice from those whose sermons and advice are entitled to respect. No youngster playing tennis today holds the promise that he does. His natural capacity for the game and his mastery of strokes set him apart. Shields, it is said, will give up his for Pennsylvania. His absence from the chiefly due to a disinclination on the part of the Davis Cup Committee to in- terfere with his scholastic work. ‘While the make-up of the Davis Cup team was to have been announced on Sunday, no announcement of the sort has been cabled from France, so it looks as though Gene Dixon, non- laying captain of the American team, n still hoping to include Bill Tilden as a member of our playing squad.

Woman Defeats r | By the Associated Press. ISLEY, England, July 10.—A woman who drove an Army mo- tor car during the World War, Marjories Foster, defeated many of the crack marksmen of the British Empire to win the King's prize for rifie shooting on the famous Bisley ranges today. Not only is Miss Foster the first woman ever to achieve this feat, but s | she is the only member of her sex ever to place among the final 100 competi- tors in this event. She is the manager of a chicken farm near Bisley. Her score of 280 was a single point better than that of Lieut. A. E. Eccles of the Seafoard Highlanders, who shot 279. Miss Foster won a cash prize of $1,250 in addition to the National Rifle Asso- ciation’s highly coveted gold medal and gold badge. Shooting as “Driver Foster,” since as she is & member of the British Wom- en's Legion and the event is open:only to service members, Miss Foster fired with amazing skill and nerve, At the very close of the competition she was called on to make the most difficult shot of the tournament. Lieut. Eccles posted his total when Miss Foster had two shots to go. If she scored two “inners,” shots just out- side the bull's-eye that counted four points apiece, she would have ended in ® tie with Lieut. Eccles. Using & serv- Marksmen on Her Last Shot Best British ice rifle at 1,000 yards she scored one inner while the bulk of the crowd stood behind her in tense silence. She fired her'last shot and scored a clean bull's- eye. Miss Foster's vlc'm? ‘was all the more amazing because of the day-to-day strain of the classic tourney. The King’s prize competition is designed as a thorough test of marksmanship at many ranges and is as nerve-racking a test as any open golf tournament. The competition has been going on since ‘Wednesday. She thus became the third woman in a trio of English women who have made their sex famous by feats of skill and endurance this year. Miss Amy Johnson flew from England to Australia and Miss Betty Brown trounced the male opposition in winning the King's Cup air race. Dressed in & rough tweed jackef, khaki shorts and stockings, with a slouch hat pulled down over her close- cropped hair, there was little to distin- gu!.sh Miss Foster in appearance from er men rivals, but her smiles of hap- piness when receiving the congratula- tions of officials and being carried around the camp in_the old-fashioned chair, wherein the King's winner al- ways 'is_hoisted, were wholly feminine.

SHAMROCK VOYAGE DELAYED BY STORM Yawl-Rigged, Towed to Shelter Near Cowes. By the Assoctated Press. ORTSMOUTH, England, July 19. —The Shamrock V, Sir Thomas Lipton’s latest challenger for the | America’s Cup, started on her voyage across the Atlantic today to the crowd and a serenade of ship’s sivens, but was held up by stormy conditions. The craft, on which Sir Thomas has flnned his hopes to achieve his ambi- fon of capturing the famous cup, to- | night was anchored in the Spithead | Roadstead, sheltered from a stiff blow | and a turbulent sea. With her was 8ir | Thomas' steam yacht Erin, which will | escort her across the ocean. | Late tonight the Shamrock V was taken in tow by the Erin and moved from Ryde Roads up the Spithead Roadstead toward Cowes, where the yacht races are annually held. The westerly wind was greatly abated and the water much calmer. During the night the Shamrock will remain under the lee of the Isle of Wight, and in the mcrning if weather reports are favoranle she will set again with the Erin. Careful preparations have been made for the Shamrock to keep in touch with the Erin throughout the voyage to the United States. The Erin will keep Sir Thomas informed by wireless of the Shamrock’s progress. reach the Azores in a week and to com- plete the long voyage within one month. The Shamrock, when she started to- day, was not the trim racing craft she will be in the races at Newport begin- ning September 13. The top section of her towering mast has been remcved and she has.been yawl-rigged for the ocean crossing. This gives her a rather stumpy appearance as compared with her racing rig.

According to Tommy Armour it's pretty nearly a waste of time to fol- low Bobby Jones and other stars. We haven't the wrists to play strokes as he does. After writing words to that effect Tommy proceeds to explain how he plays the irons. But how can we play them like Tommy, once you have seen his hands? I imagine Jones is a rather good example to pattern after in spite of JONES OF “NIDDLE O {2 ALL SHOTS ( =g -0 all Tommy has written. We can at’ least obtain the principles involved from studying his game. They can’t be far from right. One is gfl‘flfl'l qm;oot playing the ball. r all normal shots Bobby stands with it opposite the middle of his left foot. You merely cut the legs out from under it. Sol Metzger has prepared a leaflet on “The Art of Pitching,” in which he reveals the secret of how to make the ball “bite” the green when it hits. Send stamped, addressed en- vebpe to Sol Metzger, in care of this peper, and ask for it. (Cooyright. 1930.) Swim and Gym At the - "Y.M.C. A.

UMMER breezes still resound with the crack of the bat, the thud of the ball hitting the glove and talk of the coming city championship series. There’s plenty of time left for base ball and plenty of good base ball left, and it would appear on the surface that only an extreme- 1y optimistic soul could think of & more strenuous sport in this sweltering heat. < But now something else has sand- lot addicts thinking and these thought~ run into a channel which entirely be- lies the weather—foot ball. ‘Washington is due to receive its first | taste of night foot ball this coming season and it may not all be played by college teams either! There is something else in the air—sandlot foot ball under floodlights. Rumors have been flying thick and fast lately and dealing with a sub- ject which may be realized ere long. It has been reported that President Clark Griffith of the Nationals is in- terested in the formation of a tri- State foot ball league, comprising teams from Baltimore, Alexandria and Wash- ington. May Be Six-club League. Despite the fact that they are rumors only, rumors do not start from noth- ing at all. Such a league is far from impractical, and while nothing definite has been reported, it is understood that Grifith has talked with one or two managers of top-notch grid clubs in this vlctnlti' and is enthusiastie about the formation of such a logp, which, in the end, would leave a champion of g:ryund. Virginia and the Capital y. Griffith is said to have gone as far as to suggest a six-club league, tenta- tively comprising two teams from Bal timore, three from Washington, and an sail | Alexandria team. No particular clubs were mentioned, but it is fenmlly sup- posed that the trio of local aggrega- tions are the Apaches, Mohawks and the Northerns, which, for the past sev- eral years, have held a monopoly on the District title. The Virginia - resentative, doubtless, would the St. Mary's Celtics, long recognized as the best i the Old Dominion State. Just what two teams would repre- sent Maryland is not known, but it is very likely that they would be Balti- more teams. A league has been in O%TII.‘DB in the Monumental City, but whether clubs belonfln( to this circuit or outside gregations are to enter, 15 yet to be learned. Baltimoreans have long been visitors here, and locals return the calls quite a bit, competition being keen at all times. There are several strong teams in the Monumental City, with Irvington, Montebello, Lansdown, Hampden and Holmstead being the outstanding. A fast loop it would be, Night Games Practical. Doubtless_this suggestion on the part of the Washingtdn Club prexy will meet with the unanimous approval of all concerned, as well as the multitude of sandlot foot bau followers.
