D'Arcy Banagan, assistant pro at Co- | lumbia, 1s getting considerahle good-na- tured “joshing” these days, and o is Fred McLeod, the club pro, all because of a match in which they played with Herbert T. Shannon, president of the | club, and Paul J. Prizzell, who was | tourney this year. For it seems that Frizzell, who has | improved his game by leaps and bounds this year, was the bright and shining star of the quartet, outscoring Both the | professionals with a card of 71 and | “carrying” Banagan to victory. “He self,” McLeod remarked with grin, | big boy can't glly olf. His 71 was as sound a round as I have seen, and it | might have been a good deal better.” Frizzell was quite a surprise to a lot of folks at Columbia last June, when he reached the final round in the invi- tation tourney. But to reach the final in an event like that at Columbia takes considerable golf, and Frizzell had it when he needed it. He has demon- strated since that his accomplishment was far from & fluke, for he has been steadily playing around and below the 175 mark all during the Summer, and | playing, McLeod says, the kind of golf that deserves to win tournaments. Frizzell and Clyde B. Asher, the vice president of the club, are the “hottest” pair of amateurs at Columblia these |{torrid days, according to McLeod. Asher, whose improvement also has been rapid, has been scoring 71_and 72 -in | recent games. Asher and -Frizzell are | unusually accurate around the putting green, as every one has to be who scores below 175. Arrangements are in the making for quite a part of Washingtonians to go to | Merion in mid-September to watch the amateur championship. A few of the golfers who make the trip from Wash- ington will play in the title chase, but most of them will go only in the capac- ity of onlookers, Miller B.

Golfers Do Well In Tourney Practice JACKSONVILLE, Fla., August 5.— ‘Washington'’s team of ‘municipal golfers completed their final prac- tice round yesterday for the ninth annual national public links golf tournament, which started here to- day. All were confident that their games were in order and expect to make a creditable showing in the competition. Louis Fuchs was the only one who kept & score in the round yesterday and achieved a very creditable 7. Others were around that figure. Fuchs, with B. H. Burrows, Robert Burton and Sam Parks, make up the quartet which will compete in the team match. While the greens of Bermuda grass have bothered the Washington boys, who are accustomed to much faster putting surfaces, they grad- ually are solving the purzle and all were down in one puit on the eighteenth. ‘The best score in the preliminary workouts to date was 73, made by both Harris Givan, Seattle, and Curtis Bryan, Jacksonville. Two 825 are considered zood enough to qual- ify in the 32 for match play.

SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y., August 5.— ‘The first American singles appearance of G. Lyttleton Rogers, giant Irish ten- nis ace, has been extremely brief. The 6-foot 7-inch player from Dub- lin, who beat Henri Cochet on the Riviera this Spring, was eliminated in the first round of the Southampton in- vitation tournament_yesterday by little Marcel Rainville of Montreal, Canadian Davis Cup ace. Rainville played a shrewd back-court game to beat the Irishman, 6—2, 5—7, 6—3, in the only outstanding upset of | ¢— the first day's play. The 30 survivors after yesterday's competition were to be joined today by three members of the American Davis Cup squad—George Lott, Wilmer Alli- son and Berkeley Bell.

York, whom he beat in three sets, 2—6, 6—., 8—6. The Atlantan was confronted with & stern task today, with Rainville to dispose of, if he was to reach the third round.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, August 5—The | reply of the “big” minor | leagues to the major leagues’ ultimatum de- manding acceptance of the uni- versal draft was in the making today. The minor organizations—the Amer- ican Association, International League and the Pacific Coast League—had planned to meet to consider a renewal of the modified draft agreement, which has governed relations between the majors and the minors since 1923, but the recent demand by the former that the ::mhn--l drfltl:: accepted stroy the origin e, At & recent joint meeting, the Amer- ican and National Leagues decided that all player relations with the three big minor organizations, as well as with the Western and Three-Eye Leagues, would cease after December 1, unless the uni- versal draft was accepted. Promise of open warfare was given when the International, American As- soclation and Pacific Coast groups de- cided to fight the demand. Thomas J. Hickey of the American As- sociation expressed the opinion that the difficulty would be “threshed out” when the minors met ll: in joint e - doubtful, and open break loomed. The so-called non-draft minors claim that the majors are to blame for the situation, and that the ultimatum was a répudiation of the 15 of 1921, The majors insist that their relations have not been good because the minors have ignored their pleas for a readjust- Clara | ment of the player situation. The present, or modified, draft agree- ment was made in 1023, after the majors had withheld players from the leagues in question for one year. Under the existing plan, only players who have been “up” may be drafted from the International, _American tion, Pacific Coast, Western and Three-Eye Leagues. FIGHT I8 DELAYED.
