T e | New__ Horseshoe Sensation Makes Hit : Phil Scott Compared to Scared Rabbit . SAUNDERS' VICTIMS Missouri Youth Wins Favor as Well as Victories. Heilman Triumphs. l championship competition, . H. F. Saunders is a remark- | ably well known figure in the sec- | oud annual metropolitan district horseshoe tournament conducted by The Star. Saunders’ name creeps into every discussion of probable win- ners of high honors although he! has yet to meet a worthwhile foe- man in the metropolitan event. The young man's suddenly ac- quired reputation has been made in matches outside the tourna- ment. In the last fortnight he has won victories over all but a few of the pitchers who stood out in_the 1929 championships. including Charles A. Fort, Washington champion; _Earle Crane, Andrew Tallmadge and last, but rhaps, - most important. Willard E eake, the Metropolitan title holder. Only Peake and Crane have been able to break even with him. Everv other foe has been soft prey. He has had particularly easy sailing in the Park View preliminary in which he has toyed with all opponents. Saunders is a rather tall. clean-cut and athletic youth of 24, distinguished otherwise by humor-lit gray eves and an engaging grin_which was just getting under way when the photographer enapped the picture printed on- this page. He came to Washington three monthe ago from St. Louis to assist his brother-in-law, Representative David Hopkins of Missouri. | He was taught to pitch horseshoes by Ed Wajl, a former champion of Mis- gourl. who specialized in the one-and- three-quarter turn. Using this grip. Saunders averaged 38 ringers per 100 | tocses last vear in the St. Louis city| league. He has heid that pace here. E horseshoe editor hasn't seen all the pitchers in the Metropolitan | tournament, but is convinced that | Saunders is the fastest worker of the lot. His first shoe barely reaches the ez before the other is on the way and ge mekes rapid strides from stake to stake. “After a match with Saunders,” says Crane, who is no sluggard, “vou don't know whether you've pitched horseshoes or_run a Tace.” The Missourian pitches a low shoe with lots of zip. OR a chap who has accom- plished next to nothing in IN search of opponents to try his mettle, Saunders has invaded. Vir- ginia and Maryland and_has- been well recelved in two ways. In several places he got the desired competition and everywhere his personality made him a favorite. As one victim put it: “He can beat a guy and make him like it.” But there was one pitcher at Park View who cared not at all for Saunders’ treatment. The latter, who let up on most® of his Park View foemen, ac- cepted the challenge of a kibitzer and Tazzer. The Kkibitzer hasn't been -around since. Score, 50 to 0. szal HEILMAN, defending cham- pion of Prince Georges County, is safely past the Hyattsville pre- liminary. He vanished Ernest Moore and Charles Joyce last night in the final. Heilman scored 50 points, Davis, 46 and Joyce 27 in a play-off to elim- | inate the third man and then the champion knocked off Davis, 50 to 17 | and 50 to 28. It was almost - a foregone conclu- sion that Hnflm‘u would repeat at Hyattsville, but there was merit in his victory. The:tall giipper- slammer has been ill and almost drs himself to the court last night. He averaged 13 ringers a game. ORE results from Laytonsville, where the Montgomery .

However, when the latter's shoes were not on_the peg they were hugging it and the single pointers earned him his_margin of 1.

But Thompson got up his deciding skirmish and swept on to a 51-33 verdiet, scoring 23 ringers against Darnes’ 19. Their Stock Goes Up. Both of the finalists proved last night that they must be reckoned with in the higher stages of metropolitan com- petition. Such pitching would have won either of them a major title last year.

Of the 18 | countries which had entries nearly every one was represented by its best players, the champion of the countries, in most instances, heading the team. | The contest was close from start to | finish, first one team and then another being at the top. After 16 rounds Hungary led Poland by one-half point, but it had to play | Hofland, the eighth team, in the final | round, while Poland played Finland, next to last in the list. In the last round Hungary lost to Holland, while Poland decisively defeated Finland, thereby winning by & point and one- half. Germany finished . third, four points below Poland. A recheck of the dally press reports shows that Austria and Czechoslovakia are tied for fourth place. The United States team finished in | sixth place. 1t was in the lead at the end oi the twelfth round, Then came the tiagic match with Austria, when the United States lost all four games, the only match in which this country did not score, As a result of this de- feat, the United States dropped to sixth place, from which it never recovered. The United States defeated the strong German team, 3% to 3; it tied with the Polish and Czechoslovakia teams: defeated Holland, 2% to 1%;: it tled England, and finished the tournament one point ahead of that country. Counting matches only, and drawn matches counting ': point, Poland is ahead with 13}, matches won to its credit.

The fact the players have to draw on their own resources for expenses is a deterrent in many cases. . Then, again, case one of the players should become ill or get out of form, in not being able quickly to provide a substitute because of its remoteness from the scene of action. These contests are growing in inter- est, and it may be some devotees of the game will make donations to cover the | expenses of players who give their time ample supply of substitutes to relieve players from the burden of playing in every match. TOURNAMENT for the world woman championship also was held at Hamburg at the time the team tournament was in progress. Miss Vera Menchik of Hastings, Eng- land, representing Czechoslovakia, re-" tained her title of woman champion, her score being 6'; to 1. Mrs. Paula Wolf-Kalmar of Austria was second with the score of 5% to 2, and Mrs. Henschei of Germany, who won from | the ‘champion, was third.

However, one bright spot was found in the afternoon and that was the | work of a young man who modestly admitted he was Ham Fish, one-time New York-Pennsylvania League play- er. Ham, or Pish (take your choice), played first base for Wreco, the champs, and it was through his mighty efforts with the flail that Capital Traction was “wrecoed.” Ham started off the game with a blow that resounded off the left field wall and pulled up at second—that is, Ham pulled up at second. He later scored. In the third frame, Mr. Ham Pish sunk Traction’s hopes with an- other rousing two-bagger that barely missed going over the fence. - This wallop scored two runners and Fish | ultimately was dragged across himself. | Stil another double was hung up by | Ham. Pish was hooked on his fourth trip, however, when he popped up, but just to prove that he is no sucker, he slashed a single as a parting salute. Hh:t'“ a “star Fish,” no doubt about that. fans, the largest crowd to New Style mase Running. As for the game itself, there was nothing to it outside of Ham worth mentioning. The pitching was only fair, yet the conducters of both teams punched quite a bit, and it wasn't transfers they punched, either. Nine- teen strike-outs were registered. Some of the boys devised a new style of base running. They gave the impres- sion that they thought they were still on a street car and the car was going along a straight stretch of track. How- ever, the motormen and conductors can’t be blamed too much. Tt is rather an innovation to play in a big league park with 3,000 fans on hand. Earl White, Tracticn pitcher, really out- pitched Schneider and Varnell for Wreco, but his brother Earl at short- stop had a stormy afternoon, kicking in with five errors that spelled finis to Traction’s chances. Despite the looseness of play, etc., the boys had a great time, and even one of the fans stood up and cheered as the meeting was convened. ABHOA. Cap. Trac. ABHOA 9 aniel3b 5 2 0 ton,2b Duley,c.....

BY WALTER TRUMBULL. AM still ruminating on the re- : markable case of Philip Scott. teries of the ring. His physical and mental attri- butes are no mystery. Here is a man with the frame of a giant and the courage of a mouse. He is a good defensive boxer, on the same theory that a much-chased rabbit is good defensively, having learned every trick of escape. I say rabbit, rather than fox, be- cause an escaping fox is smart, where a rabbit is only panicky. Scott had height, weight and reach on most of the men he fought; yet the mystery concerning him is how he ever got as far in the boxing game as he did. I wrote some of the things I thought of Scott at Miami, and got & letter from an indignant Anglo-Saxon asking why I didn't like Scott, but pre- ferred Lithuanians. Must Have Courage. ‘When I look at a boxer it makes no difference to me whether he is a Lithuanian, Greek, Italian, Dutchman, Spaniard, Briton or Senegalese. All I am interested in is whether he can fight; whether he has speed, courage, skill. You may see pugilists without speed, or without skill, and find much in them to acdmire. But I defy any- pody to admire a boxer without cour- age. If he happens to be an Anglo- Saxon, I admit that I resent it the more, because some of us believe that there are traditions to be maintained. But again I say that what interests me in a fighter is not his ancestry, but his ability. . And considering Phil Scott’s naturs and ability, it certainly is a mystery to me how James J. Johnston ever man= aged him into three big heavyweight matches, Jimmy always has done wonders with boxers others would have considered hopeless. But usually the fighter has to help a little. Johnston has been the victim of hard luck. He has. as he says, always had 9 and 11 seconds fighters. ‘They never kept an opponent down ovar 9 | seconds, and never got up themselves | under 11 seconds.

August «C.P.A.).—"Kid” Chocolate, who is training here for his bout wiih Jackie (Kid) Berge next Thursday night, is first a showman and then a good fighter. He likes nothing better than to put on his gayest raiment and stroll down Broadway handing the populace an eyeful. He has 114 suits, almost as many pairs of shoes, and it is utterly im- possible to calculate the number of neckties. Chocolate has been working in the indoor ring instead of the squared circle swung in Gus® Wil- son's backyard The kid would rather work in the open air, but as the inside ring contains a bit more spring in its flooring he figures that he can put on a better performance.
