SPORTS TRobins Gain at Expense of Dearest Rivals : Only One Vacancy on U.S. Polo Team VANCE NIPS GIANTS INMOUND DUEL 10 Cubs Go to Pieces as Bucs Come From Behind in a 12-to-8 Encounter. BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Bports Writer. ‘HE Brooklyn Robins and New York Giants have done each other several good turns this season by beating their rivals from Chicago and St. Louis at timely moments. But when they go against each other whatever friendly feeling they may have is forgotten, particular- ly when the Giants are trying to reach Brooklyn’s place at the top of the National League. There was great rejoicing in Flatbush yesterday when the Robins came.out ahead of their rivals from the other side of the East River by a 1-to-0 score 1n one of the season's warmest pitching duels. For eight and one-half innings the teams battled without a score, with Carl Hubbell holding a slight edge over Dazzy Vance, who had not won a game, or even completed one, since July 14. But Babe Herman opened the Robins’ half of the ninth with a hit that he stretched into a double by brilliant base-running. Moore sacrificed him to third, and the Giants' board of strat- egy ordered the move of walking Wright and Bissonette to fill the bases. The plan failed, and Brooklyn won the gme when Hubbell continued to pitch and walked Flowers also, to force in the game’s only run. Robins Add to Lead. Despite the report that the Robins would rather beat the Giants than win the pennant, they can get a great deal of satisfaction from today's standing, for the victory put them three games ahead of Chicago. The Cub machine | went to pieces after sailing along ahead of the Pittsburgh Pirates for seven in- nings, and Pittsburgh scored eight runs in the eighth for a 12-to-8 triumph. Al Bool led the victors by contributing his fourth home run of the three-game se- ries to the rally, while Hack Wilson hit x thirty-fifth of the year for the bs. The St. Louis Cardinals improved their fourth-place position by winning two games from Cincinnati, slamming out a total of 27 hits to_win by scores of 11 to 6 and 6 to 3. Puccinelli pro- vided the first game feature by clout- ing a homer as a pinch hitter, the sec- ond time he has performed the ful-* The Phillies, after losing 12 twin bills this season and dividing a few more, won their first double-header of the season, beating the Boston Braves, 11 to 5 and 4 to 1. Phil Collins and Claude Willoughby pitched the two games. ‘The theme of rivalry between neigh- bors was carried qut in the American League by the New York Yankees and | the Philadelphia Athletics, with the ‘Yanks a six-run uprising in the eighth inning to win by a 9-to-3 count. Before this assault on Rube ‘Walberg the game had been close, with Babe Ruth's fortieth homer of the year as the one big clout. But Tony Laz- geri put the homer into the background when he settled the argument with a triple with the bases full. Yanks Climb a Bit. The first-division results in the junior circuit were all in favor of the Yankees, for the Boston Red Sox finally broke their losing streak in their second game against Washington with & 7-to-1 triumph after the Senators had carried it to 11 games by winning the first, 11 to 2. The winning pitch- ers, Al Crowder of Washington and Jack Russell of Boston, each hurled five-hit games. ‘Waite Hoyt also pitched a good game, stopping all of the Chicago White Sox but Carl Reynolds to give Detroit a 4- to-3 victory. Reynolds drove in all the Chicago runs with a pair of homers. ‘The St. Louis Browns continued their recent streak of slugging to place them- selves only a game and one-half behind Chicago. They pounded four Cleve- land pitchers for 18 hits to defeat the Indians, 14 to 6, although three Cleve- jand players walloped homers.

Miss Krucoff played her first com- petitive tennis following a long iliness, and in the final it was apparent that much of her stamina had been taken by the morning match. Miss Dunham, who had been erratic in the semi-final, tried valiantly, and with no little suc- cess, to make up for it in the title match, but Mrs. Martinez and Miss Walker were inexorably smooth in their team play, Miss Walker playing bril- liantly. at the net and Mrs. Martinez seldom erring with her drives.

Kansas City to Start Night Golf This Week KANSAS CITY, Mo, August 4.— A night golf course of nine holes will be opened in this city this week at Eastwood Hills. The course is being lighted on the presumption that golfers drive down the fair- ways. Those who let fly into the rough may have some difficulty in retrieving their shots without flash- lights. The fairways to the ninth hole are being lined with poles bearing Special lights lighting crew proces farther and farther across the course the problem of illumination becomes more difficult. Bunkers create shadow hazards. Ravines, under the experimental light tests, become black, ragged ribbons. The slightest elevation on the course produces shadows resembling ra- vines and holes. Special lights are being arranged to distribute the light smoothly. ‘The “eh ";ghgl;:umm tee l: on the el Was opene mum several nights ago. The layers were pleased. Short shots to the rough were recovered with- out difficulty, the white ball shining out in the dim reflected light. Night golf seems to have some drawbacks.

GETS SKIN-FIAY MALLOY 5AID His PA SAID HE ZovLp BE'A DETECATUV Along the Water Front By Carrol Klotzbach UR much-quoted Cap'n Carl has departed. His yawl Explorer will no more be seen in the ‘Washington Channel—at least for some time. Away he is and his wife with him. Away for a cruise that we all of us envy—a cruise that is to take him around the world if the spirit and the ship holds out. And we be- moan the loss of & good chap and worthy fellow. Buen viaje, cap'n. There'’s a bit more to be said about his cruise. It ish't & “stunt.” He's not cruising to make any records, not cruising for prpfit in glory and cash. Cap'n Carl cruises for freedom, health, happiness. Wherein these three? Con- sider. Freedom. Freedom from what? Freedom from a time clock for a start- er, freedom from deadly routine, ruts, grooves. Freedom from friends (2) whose eternal topic is prohibition, from the curious, from those anxious to shackle his fate, his life, his ways of life. Custom and the proprieties are trampled, petty restriction submerged. Health. Need we discuss it? Fresh air, sunlight, exercise, good food, no worry—what physician would prescribe better treatment for eternal health. Happiness. Household happiness, 24 hours of the day. Bristling adventure, changing scenes, new interests, discov- eries—all made together. No routine of office or shop to keep them apart, no arriving home tired and irritable from the daily struggle for existence, no ir- ritable scrapping with fellow workmen (who says there isn't such?), none of these. Now their troubles will be les- sened. Consider—over 80 per cent of our difficulties arise through others, not through ourselves. Remove the contacts as they have done— result? Figure it out for yourself. 3 8o again we say buen viaje, cap'n. And we're glad you're gone away, for we know you are on the road to the magic three named above. HOW‘Ynnny know that a chap named Harry Pidgeon circled the world in a similar ship to that of Cap'n Carl? Not so many, for small boat salling is not given thé publicity that dangerous stunts like flag-pole sitting and hot dog eating is. 'We cannot tell his story here. ‘We can tell that in an old issue of the National Geographic, that of Feb- ruary, 1928, easily found on any old bookstand. The story is carried in full, with fine fllustrations by the author. Alain Gerbault, in Firecrest, also sailed the seven seas and tells us of his ad- ventures in “In Quest of the Sun"—a title alone that would make us buy the book. Read them, you will treasure them for the new vistas of fireside ad- venture they may open up for you read them —and you may become & world cruiser yourself. At any rate, read them. NOW, a letter. From a subscriber that—well, read it, here it is: “I have just read your ‘Along the Water PFront* article in today’s Star, and was flrflcuhfly interested in that portion of your article concern- ing the Stars. I quite agree with you that there is no reason why the Capital of our Nation should not be represented with a fleet in the International Star Class Yacht Racing Association. “As a Star owner for five years, the winner of one of the international championship series and vice president of the association I feel that I can with some authority speak of these marvel- ous little racing yachts. All that I may say, however, could never measure up to the actual statistics which speak so much louder than words. Starting in 1911 with 23 boats, this truly one-design class has risen to a place in the yacht- ing world second to none. Fifty fleets throughout the world in which are en- rolled 800 boats all built to a single plan is a worthy achievement. The Star has given to the man of average means his chance to participate in yacht rac- ing which hitherto has been looked upon as a rich man’s sport. In no class is the competition as keen. The inter- national championship series to be held at Gibson Island 1l bring together the champion skippers from no less than 25 of the 50 fleets. “There is no reason why the sailing yachtsmen of Washington should not go in the game. The only drawback to a Star t is sufficient water to float & boat drawing 3 feet 2 inches. Although I have lived here but a few months, and have had to go to Gibson Island each week end to rticipate in the Star racing there, I Pave been unable to understand why sail boat mfl\rh:::rglnva nnflt l;tui:lu opportunity of st g & fleel a nplun of my not meeting sail boat men here I have been unable to talk Sf to any one but motor boat and rocking chair yachtsmen. If you can put me in touch with two. of three men who might be interested in small boat rac- ing I will do all that I can to assist them in starting a fleet here. “Stars can be maintained with very little facilities. A life boat davit and chain fall will haul them out in five minutes, even though they weigh 1,500 pounds. All that it takes is three live wires with a determination to own and race a small yacht. They will never regret it.” The signature is that of Mr. Prentice Edrington, jr., 3000 . Connecticut E. avenue, Wi 'OW then. Here’s an opportunity. Here's Cap.t Edrington—a cham- plon—willing to assist and advise. Here's a skipper with nothing to sell, nothing up his sleeve, all willijpg and ready to do his stuff. And if you are interested, do yours, get in touch with him. right away. The Summer is far from over and the racing season just beginning. A suggestion. Why not a bit of syn- dicate racing, such as is practiced else- where? If each yacht club in Wash- ington were to invest in one of these great little ships our fleet would be five—Capital, Eastern, Washington, Co- lumbia and Corinthian. If the boat clubs up river were to come in as they have come in on everything else, we could count on at least three more. And there’s the Alexandria boys—de- pend on it they would not be behind- hand when real sport is in the offing. And the Sea Scouts—with a little im- petus and energy these boys could build one or two. At least 10 boats! A fleet that would campare favorably with most! Merely a suggestion, skip- pers, but & good one I do believe. It would promote all the things that go for esprit de corps—competition, good fellowship, clean sportsmanship, keen and close work. And any one that thinks that sail- boating isn't sport will change quickly if he ever roosts on the weather rail with the lee under, surges through the water at exhilarating speed in the ab- sence of noisy engines, races in a con- test where skill and nerve are the de- ciding factors instead of needld gaso- line, super horsepowers (plus plenty of dirt, racket, uproar and vibration—well, Jjust try it. We have heard the argument that there is insufficient water in these parts for such sailing. For those supporting this view we cry, Fie! Two fles if nec- essary. Enough water to sail small craft! Have you ever seen a workboat skipper beat up the Washington Chan- nel in a stiff nor'wester and lay his 70-toot schooner or bugeye alofigside the fish wharf with the aid one hand— no motor, mind you? No room for sailing. Occoquan Bay is large enough for most any kind of race meet, and the river between here and there is ample for any one determind to have a bit of sport. Motor boating is largely a matter of sitting and steering—sail- boating is sport, action, thrills, work! Come on, skippers, grab a tiller! CHANGE IN BUTLER ATHLETICS IS SEEN INDIANAPOLIS, August 4 ().—This Indianapolis Star says it haslearned from _reliable sources that Harry M. Bell, athletic director at Lombard College. Galesburg, Ill, will succeed George (Potsy) Clark as head of the Butler University athletic department. The change, the Star says, is a direct outgrowth of Butler’s suspension by the North Central Association of Colleges early this year. Among the charges brought against the Indianapolis school was one that a disproportionate amount of money was spent on athletics. The Star says that as part of the reorganization plan Butler officials propose to trim the present coaching staff and to reduce the salaries of those retained.

N PLAY GOLF TONIGHT Capitol Plaza Golf Club UNION STATION ON_NORTH CAPITOL ST. FOR OUR TOURNAMENT $100.00 in Prizes SPECIAL. TONIGHT— $10.00 IN GOLD fessional, made cricket history in this | EVERAL times during the past year Dave Thomson, the fine playing little professional at the ‘Washington Golf and Country Club, has been within a couple of putts of shattering the course record held by Maurice J. McCarthy, former Georgetown University amateur, now living in New York, where he recently won the metropolitan amateur cham- pionship for the second consecutive time. Davie has had & number of 68s and several 67s, but each time it seemed he was well started on the road toward breaking that 66, or at least becoming the co-holder of the record, something has happened. The Washington course is like that. You think you are going along well and everything looks rosy, when some hole like the fifteenth looms up and knocks you for a row of buzzards and there you are—just another ordinary golfer. Well, Dave started out yesterday with Verne Simmons and Ward B. McCarthy, by chipping up 10 feet away at the first hole and sinking the putt. He went along in par to the fifth, where he rapped in another bird, and then he got a miraculous par at the sixth, where he almost pitched into the cup from the hillside at the right. Then at the eighth the little pro nearly holed his second shot for a deuce. The ball came to rest only inches away and he got another birdie 3. That left him needing a par 3 at the ninth for a 32, but the bunker at the right caught his tee shot and he got out in 33. Now the last nine at Washington is considered - easier than the first nine, and with a 33 behind him, it seemed as if Dave might do another 33 or better. But the heat got to waxed careless and three putts on the tenth and eleventh greens spelled the end of that fine chance to break or tie the course record. With the ten- sion gone, Dave let down and took 7 on_the fifteenth. Only at Washington does an amateur golfer hold the course record. At all the other layouts about the Capital a professional has been able to score lower than an amateur golfer, and in some cases the professional mark is several strokes lower than the best the simon pures have been able to record, But then the’ professionals have not played Washington as often as they have played some of the other courses, which may or may not have something to_do with this course record thing. Some day some fi)llel’ is going to get | real “hot” and play the Washington course in about 63 strokes. It can be done, particularly with the course as fast as it is these days, provided he gets past such holes as the seventh and fifteenth. A few days ago Col. James Magee made the first hole in 1 at the course of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club, which evidently stirred the ire of Comdr. D. F. Bucey, for he heeded the biblical injunction to and do likewise and countered with an ace for the Navy to match the one made by the Army representative. ‘The service club course has been use only for two years, and during that time there has not been a hole in 1 until a few days ago Col. Magee de- cided enough time had elapsed. So Lowest Arc Swing Off Left Shoulder BY SOL METZGER. Remember, as big Bob MacDon- ald will tell you, that the lowest arc of the swing is a point off the left shoulder. It may be off the left heek; as so many say. But it is only there when the left foot at address is under the left shoulder. That's the way Bobby Jones ad- dresses the ball for a drive. Another reason why you should so play the ball for the long shots is that your clubhead travels at its greatest speed at this point of your [ OFF LEFT. 3 $HOULDER ;hrnllghl lm ‘To get distance ow must uf e ble - Jeal Tactor. - This s s cardimal one, Cracks play their pitch shots in many cases by hitting down on the ball. What they really mean is that at address they play the ball & bit farther from the hole than a point opposite the left shoulder joint. Consequently they hit it just before the clubhead reaches the lowest point of the arc it follows. Hence the divot after contact. i A new free illustrated leaflet on “The Art of Putting” has been pre- pared by Sol Metzger. Write for it.

McNeill saw the shot. And yesterday along came Comdr. Ducey, with the conversation of that ace made by the Army ringing in his ears. So he came to the short seven- teenth, a 160-yard affair, and here he knocked his ball into the cup for the second ace within a few days, after a drought of two years. W. A. Angin witnessed that shot, d now honors aré even between the Army and Navy in the matter of ace. How about the sea-soldiers? W. Fred Byrne, genial chairman of the Bannockburn golf committee, de- cided yesterday that he should cut in for a share of the prizes in the events he stages each week end at the Glen Echo organization, and so he went out and shot himself a 31 in the best nine- hole event staged by the club, billed as the “Potomac Handicap.” From the 18 holes played the best nines were chosen, and Byrne sccred a 31. Willlam L. Pendergast, holder of the club title, scored 32, and there was a triple tie for third place between G. E. Moore, L. F. Pass and J. 1. Alexander, each of whom scored 33. C. W.
