B stage the Arlington County | finals of the current Met- ropolitan District horseshoe ghamplomhips, sponsored by The tar. This village was chosen, not only to honor the Northern Vir- ginia champion, Alexander Kirch- ner, who hails from Barcroft, but because of the splendid facilities | there. Chairman _Kirchner, 8 brother of the champion, will have several perfectly condi- tioned courts for the play-offs, and they will be electric lighted. “ A definite date for the Arlington County finals won't be set until it is ascertained how long the preliminaries will_require, but some time in mid- August will just about hit it. Alexander Kirchner has been a spec- tator at some of the town tournaments in his county and admits he faces a tough struggle to keep his crown. Competition in the town tourna- ment at Barcroft will start Frida Following are the pairings: J. Kirch- | ner vs. Orrie Potts, A. A. Kirchner vs. James Head, Charles Armstrong Chester Wilson, Thomas McArdle vs. | Hugh Hennesy, Erne Miller vs. Calvin Jones, Ed West vs. Eugene Donavant, F. E. Denson vs. C. E. Adams, M. Cul- bert vs. R. L. Knicely, Cecil Huff vs. g‘n Wexler, C. D. Cooper vs. James ass. Chairman Kirchner requests that all report Friday at 6 p.m. ARCROFT, Va, with J. T. Kirchner in charge, will TTH a fleld of 22, about twice as | many as last year, play gets un- der way this week in the Ber- wyn, Md., event with W. C. Hossfield, & new chajrman, directing. Hossfield announces the following airings: E. F. Giddings vs. Morris Tay- r, W. J. Baker vs. Russell Jons Henry Smith vs, Mark Kiernan, W. C. Hossfield vs. Stewart Parker, Alton Parker vs. Morris Taylor, jr, Cleve- land Johnson vs. W. H. Baker, R. A, Baker vs. Aubrey Parker, E. A. Auld vs, Vincent Kiernan, C. M. Barb vs. A. B. Galvan, R. Klippert vs. George Edmonds and Wilson Auld vs. Owen Burgess. b C. M. Barb is"the defending cham- | jon. His runner-up last year was Mark | jernan, L. GREZNE, the chairman at » Germantown, Md., who predicted his own downfall as defending champion, came through with colors fiying and the ..an he defeated in the final was the same Russell Lenhart, who | ‘was a finalist last year. Lenhart got the jump on Greene by | winning the first game, 50 to 47, and | it was just as tight as the score in- | dicates. {ireene took the second rather easily with a count of 50 to 25, but the deciding skirmish was almost a repetition the first, Greene winning by 50 to 41. A summary of the Germantown tournament follows: Del Griffin defeat- ed Franklin Waters, 51—42; Morgan Griffin defeated Espey Curtis, 50—33; James K\nz defeated Willlam Snyder, 50—20; R. L. Greene defeated Clarence Rome, 50—34; James Shewb feated Sterling Bowman, 50—34; Russell Lenhart defeated J. J. Snyder, 52—37. Del Griffin defeated Shewbridge, 50—16; Greene defeated King, 51—33; Lenhart defeated ‘dorgan Griffin, 50—33, Lenhart defeated Del Griffin, 52—45, Green defeated Lenhart,, 47—50, 8025, 50—41. Greene and Lenhart will represent Germantown in the Montgomery Coun- ty play-offs at Laytonsville on August 14. “There were twice as many entries this time than last year,” writes Greene, “and horseshoe pitching is increasing in popularity at Germantown. The tourna- ment was well attended and I expect many more to take part in next year's contest.” N E. W. Edmonston, according to Chairman Robert R. James, Cherry- .dale has & pitcher who must be reckoned with in the Northern Virginia competition. “His average ringers per game has been 15" says James, “and this has caused some of our pitchers to refuse to _compete with him.” Late results at Cherrydale follow: Roy James defeated M. Ruble, 50—3! E. W. Edmonston defeated M. Wheeler, 50-—13; Carol Jones defeated W. Haigin, 50—44; Edmonston defeated Dewey Berry, 50—13. It will be remembered that Edmon- ston won the Petworth Citizens’ As- soclation tournament Independence gay, but refused the prize because he hailed from Virginia. 'HARLES J. FORD, tournament di- rector at Round Hill in Loudoun County, Va., announces the follow- ing pairings: Holmes Thomas vs. Willard Herrell, r Wilson vs. G. W. Unger, H. H. Cooley vs. Richard Larrick, Charles L. Payne vs. Rogers Thomas, Richard Poland vs. Guy P. Carrico, W. H. Moatz vs. L. P. Moreland, James Mellon vs, Lee Wynkoop. Owen Thomas, jr., drew a bye. William H. Moatz is the defending | title holder. GUY RIORDAN of Laytonsville, who will have charge of the Montgomery County finals, is ac- cepting entries from Howard County in the Laytonsville preliminary. Any one residing in Maryland, Vir- ginia or Washington is eligible for the metropolitan tournament, but entrants must compete in their own States. ITH the temperature above 100, George Heckert got “hot” in the Cleveland Park horseshoe tourna- ment and trimmed two sterling pitchers in one evening—Edward Bruce by 52 to 9 and Kline by 50 to 31.

C, in 41 innings, with 164 shoes being thrown, and the second in 43 innings, with 172 shoes thrown. In the first game Heckert got 11 ringers, one a double. One of Heckert's ringers canceled one by Bruce. In the second Heckert got 10 ringers, among them another double. Because of his easy motion and keen eye and consid- ering the fact that this was his first time out this year, this boy will bear ‘watching. Cleveland Park has now completed its first round and has pitched two games in the second round. Walter Steele lost a hard-fought baitie to Ray Brown and George Heckert took Kline into camp. Chairman Christoph of Cleveland Park announces the follow- ing second-round pairings: Charlie Harlow vs. R. E. Spencer, Bob Steele vs. John S. Calvert, W. F. Hoppe vs. G. E. Chartner, Ed Reidy vs. C. B. Davis, and winner of one of these matches with Joseph H. Parker.

(Kitty) | Tales of a Wayside Tee. T was noticeable that those who were playing well at Interlachen in the open championship were stick- ing rather closely to three funda- mentals: 1. They were keeping their heads anchored until after the ball was struck. 2. They were letting their weight shift with the swing—to the right side on the back swing and forward on the down swing. 3. And they were keeping their right elbows anchored fairly close to their t sides. m‘lEm golf swing is not strictly stand- ardized. But there are certain funda- mentals that all good golfers follow when they are playing well, and these were three of &em. When they vio- iated any one of these fundamentals usually found trouble. ‘Here is one example. In playing to the hole on his first round Walter Hagen sliced his drive to the rough and pitched out some 70 yards from the green. He had a deep trap to carry on this short pitch. It was a ticklish position all way. Just before his clubhead reached the ball his head poj up and the ball fluffed along about 15 yards.

It isri't necessary to sway to let the weight go with the swing. The slight lateral motion and the turn will take care of 3 One must hit on a line from the in- side out, unless he is looking for a slice or a cut, and it is impossible to come into the ball correctly without letting the left shoulder turn. ‘There were many who held their heads fixed only long enough to hit the ball. Others gave you the distinct im- pression of holdlrtlggm head in the right place until ball was well on way. But who let the head or the chin drift to the left, along the line of flight, almost never got awa; shot. There was no great variety ere. Efther they obeyed the law and did well, or they broke it and failed. The Right Elbow. 'OMMY ARMOUR, the fine iron- playing Scot, gave the best individ- ual example of keeping the right elbow tucked into the right side. In the case of Armour it remained against his body, where apparently his hands, wrists and arms, with a good the job. You had the feeling that he was throwing his clubhead through the ball with hands and wrists from this compact position, and while he was fresh his execution was brilliant. Mac Smith and Bobby Jones also never permitting it to fly upward or position which the average golfer would soon get if he only gave it enough thought, work and close attention.

It was firm at the moment of impact, hodling the clubhead along the right line. The average golfer makes little or no use of his left hand. The strong hand hlulna or swinging forward takes charge of his stroke. He would be bet- ter. off playing the game with the right hand.” But the winning golfer in any big tournament has d"gl respect for this left hand and arm. He takes the club back with the left hand. The left hand is still in control on the start of the down swing, and he keeps the n%ht out as much as he can until both hands swing into action through the final sector of the swing. And this is something else the - averlze golfer can work on to his most listinct advantage, if he is looking for better scores, and is getting & bit sick of a bunkered existence.
