T HE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, AUGUST 10, Public Parks Tennis Crown Wobbles TED DREWES SEEKS TITLE HE GAVE LP Da Lara Another Threat to Dethrone Jennings in Tournament Here. EORGE JENNINGS of Chi- cago, national public parks tennis king, is wearing a loose crown. Reaching for it in the annual championships, slated here next week, will be one Theodore Drewes of St. Louis, whose brow it adorned before Jennings climbed the throne. Drewes’ reign lasted four years, from 1924 to 1927, inclusive, after which he tired of the title and withdrew from the national. Now he's back with te- newed ambition. The tournament here will have the strongest field ever, and & triumph would be relished by even the victory calloused Drewes. Colorful Performer. Another theat is Jack de Lara of Los Angeles, who will command attention if only for his color. De Lara is tall, lanky and spectacular. He has been in the East for some time and doing well in tourpaments. He showed to advantage in the Canadian, intercollegiate and New York State championships. De Lara is No. 2 in the national public park rankings. If the defending champion gets by Drewes and De Lara he likely will find a trouble maker in Jack Castle of Buf- falo, ranked No. 3. Castle is the cham- pion of Buffalo. He was defeated in the national semi-finals last year by De Lara, but it is understood his game has improved. These, however, are only the best- known entrants. With star racketers coming to light almost every day, and more than a score of cities represented. the tournament may produce a surprise champion. Winfree Johnson of the pub- lic buildings and public parks office said last night that 32 entries had been re- celved for the men’s singles, but that nearly as many more were expected. Lots of Territory. Represented so far are: Washington, Nashville, Chesterton (Ind.), Birming- ham, Providence, Buffalo, Falls Church, Avondale (Pa.), Lakewood (Ohio), Wil- mington, New York, Little Rock, De- trot. St. Louis, Perth Amboy, Frederick, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Plainfield (N.J.), and Rockville. For the first time women have been invited to compete in the national | tournament and according to Johnson the entry is most gratifying. The lists will be kept open until next Monday morning. shortly before play starts. Conspicuous among the girls will be Ethel Haas of Buffalo who, at 16. has developed a driving game not to be| disdained by some racketers of the op- | posite sex. The Buffalo flapper re-| cently waded through a field of 60| women in public parks competition. * O'Bear Named Referee. | Entries for the women’s tournament have been received from Washington, Detroit, St. Louis, Buffalo, Philadel- phia, Baltimore and New York. Davidson Q'Bear of St. Louis, chair- man of the Public Parks Committee of the United States Lawn Tennis As- sociation, will referee the tournament. Final arrangements for the event and for the entertainment of the visiting rackzters will be made at a meeting tomorrow night at 8 o'clock at the Roosevelt Hotel. which will be tour- nament headquarters. | DECLARES LIVELY BALL KEEPS KIDS OFF MOUND| Big Ed Walsh, quite a pitcher in his | day, has something to say against the lively ball: “Years ago the first thing a boy wanted was the pitching job. They fought for it. Now they shun the box. | If the lively ball stays much longer, | there will a keen shortage of | pitchers.” | FOUR ASHTONS BOW | T0 AIKEN POLO TEAM By the Associated Press. WESTBURY, N. Y., August &—The | four Ashton brothers, playing under the banner of Goulburn Club of Australia, ‘were defeated today by Old Aiken team of American college polo stars. The former national junior champions won a brisk polo match at Meadow Brook, 11 to 6. ‘The international contest between strong, youthful polo combinations at- tracted ‘a crowd of several thousand spectators, who saw what opened like a rout for the Americans, turned into & | hard, fast and furious struggle. Old ‘Aiken led by 4 to 1 at the end of the first half, outhitting and outgeneraling the Australians. The Ashton brothers caught their stride in the second half, but the best they could do was play their young| American opponents on close to even| terms. The play was rough from the start. Both sides blocked and rode each other with youthful vigor, while the fleet. wiry mounts of the visitors galloped on even terms with the bleeker American | ponies. Despite the close order, check- | ing and double checking, only one actual | #pill occurred. Robert Ashton, back.| went down with his mount in making a sharp turn, but was only slightly bruised in the leg and quickly resumed lay. PE"T.

And, exactly two decades after ne tled for first in the United Sta Open at Philadelphia, he would have won both of these two open titles except for one man! Mac.

It's hard to “keep up with the Joneses,” as the two Smiths, MacDonald and Horton, have too often discovered. Mac Smith has more than a flaw- less style and the ability to play a mashie shot better than any other golfer. He has courage—and lots of it. He finished with a grand 71 at Hoylake, to tie Leo Diegel with 203, two strokes behind Bobby. And the fact that Emperor Jone had clicked off a scintillating 68 in the morning round on July 12 at Interlachen didn't make the veteran Scot blow up either. Not a bit! He just went to work in the.afternoon and shot a 70 to Bobby's 75! AUT LOST THE F’Lflfi OFF.

An uncon- trollable gallery so upset him that he took an 82, and finished third! But don’t get the idea that Mac has never been a winner. Far from it! Two Western Open (1912 and 1925). two Metropolitan Open (1914 and 1926), and one Canadian Open (1926) championships have come his way, and in 1928 and 1929 he fin- ished first in the Los Angeles Open igetting a cash prize of $3,500 for his efforts each time). Also, he has numerous other minor victories to his credit—but not yet a United States or British Open title! MARIORIE MORRIL WING NET TOURNEY | East Scores Over Midwest as Marv Greef Is Beaten at Maidstone Club. By the Assoclated Press. ASTHAMPTON, N. Y., August 9. —Marjorie Morrill of Dedham, Mass,, eleventh ranking woman player in this country, captured the Maidstone Club’s annual gold cup invitation tennis tournament tcday, de- feating Mary Greef of Kansas City in straight sets, 6—3, 6—2. Although Miss Greef, at No. 6, ranks five notches higher in the national list, Miss Morrill's victory came no great surprise, The Dedham girl had played brilliantly throughout this tournament and only yesterday had eliminated Sarah Palfrey of Brookline, Mass., who ranks fourth. After the Kansas City girl had taken the fourth game of the first set to make the score 2-all, Miss Morrill showed her opponent no mercy. Lashing out with deep court drives, the New England girl then would reverse the play and trap Miss Greef at the net. Miss Greef broke in on her own service in the sixth game to make the score 3-all. but after that Miss Morrill dominated play. ‘The second set was practically a repetition of the first, with Miss Morrill snatching the last four games after the score was tied at 2-all. Miss Greef showed only a flash of her usual form when she was trailing 25, with the score in the eighth game 15—40. She brought the score to deuce and gained advantage three times, but Miss Morrill's consistent re- turns finally forced the Middle West- erner to drive into the net to give the Eastern star the game and match. NEW CLASS AT NAVY Mills, with four, featured the scoring for Old Aiken, Stewart Iglehart, No. 3. accounted for the other two goals. For| the Australians, Geofrey Ashton, No. 2, scored three goals, while brother James | tallied twice and brother Robert just| before the final bell. Although hitting_ neither so strongly | nor accurately as their American rivals, | the Ashtons gave a fine exhibition of team work in their first real competitive test in this country. WILSON WILL COACH NAVY PLEBE GRIDMEN ANNAPOLIS, August 9.—Johnny ‘Wilson, former backfield coach of the varsity squad and at one time physical director at St. John's College, An- napolis, will be the plebe coach coming season at the Naval A The appointment marks the inten- tion of the athletic officials to devote special attention to the development of the fost ball mhteral in the entering asses, Wilson being one of the most experienced and valued coaches at the academy. ‘Wilson has also acted as chief varsity coach for a number of seasons, and will retain this position.

But he brought back the Wimbledon Cup from a field that had enlisted the best amateur tennis players in the world, including no less a verformer than Henri Cochet of Prance. The best that Tilden could do at Wimbledon was to beat the man who beat Cochet in straight sets. All 1n all, Tilden's European per- lormance was a remarkable competitive round-up. | first Wimbledon title 10 years ago | when he stopped big Patterson of Aus- ilralm somewhat abruptly in the final match.

The Greatest Tennis Player. HO 1s the greatest tennis star of all | time? I put this query to a former champion, who is one of Lhe] top students of form, and got this reply: “In the list you must consider Law- rence Doherty, Bill Larned, Bill John- ston, Bill Tilden and Henri Cochet | And’ don't forget Bill Johnston. You may have forgotten how he blasted Lacoste from the courts only as far back as 1925, before his stamina left a frail system, and Lacoste was then beating Cochet, “If you take everything into consid- eration—skill, speed, power, stamina, tactics and strategy, length of reach—1 suppose Tilden must have the call. | Even today he would come dangerously | close to beating Cochet on turf courts, but not on clay.” This verdict seems to be sound. At his best from 1920 to 1926, Tilden, un- all-around tennis player the game has yet sent into action. He had what the best of the others had, and with it he had those long, fast fiying legs and a killing_reach, and he was almost tir less When he was beating Bill John- ston he was beating one of the greatest tennis players that ever lived, and one of the gamest fighters any sport has ever known. The little Californian could never | quite match the handicap in speed and reach. but from 1920 to 1925 only a Til- | den could pave brought him down. Bealing the French. ILL JOHNSTON had the one sure system to overcome the skill and steadiness of the French method. { This was to literally blast their defense fiom the courts. 'He knew he could never match their safe, sure play, where Lacoste, in particular, mereiy waited for each opponent to beat him- | self. There was no flame or flash about | Lacoste’s play, but he was steadier than two rocks. He had to be shelled from safety, and it was the violence and chance-taking qualities of Johnston's attack that did the work. The same | applied also to Tilden. | "Today there are no such blasters | around in the younger set, who have, at the same time, the strokes and the | control. Many of them can blast, but | they don't know where the ball is going. | Few realize the wild fervor Johnston | put into those Davis Cup matches, or any tennis match against a foreign rival. Gerald Patterson will never for- get the fury of the Johnston charge at Forest Hills, that struck the Aus- tralian after the manner of a cyclone. ‘The Cub Chance, another crack at the Athletics, they face the big chancs now with a lon, home stay while the Dodgers THE SPORTLIGHT | By Grantland Rice: Giants are touring the West. | cago's main hope can’t scramble back ‘The lanky one captured his | der pressure, was just about the best |A | JF the Cubs intend to repeat and get | If Chi-| |into the lead this month and open | something of a gap, pennant odds will | then shift to Brooklyn and New York.

Up to the last few years the East has had most of the polo talent, but the spread of the game has been phenomenal, when you figure the cost, and this all-America idea will make the next series one of the most interesting ever held. Players and ponies will have to step through the hardest preliminary campaign any | polo season has yet known. | (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- | paper Alliance.)

WOOD WINS FINAL AT SOUTHAMPTON 18-Year-0ld Gotham Player Conquers Allison in a Five-Set Match. By the Associated Press. OUTHAMPTON, N. Y. August 9. —Sydney B. Wood, jr., 18-year- old youngster from New York, won the forty-seventh annual Southampton invitation tennis tourna- ment today when he conquered Wilmer Allison, Davis Cup star from Fort Worth, Tex., in a grueling five - set match. The scores were 3—6, 6—3, 2—6, 6—2, 6—4. Wood's triumph gave him his second major tournament victory in a week. He whipped Ellsworth Vines, jr., in the finals of the Seabright invitation last Saturday. By his victory Wood put his name alongside those of Big Bill Tilden, Little Bill Johnson, Howard Kinsey, Fritz Mercur and other tennis notables who preceded him in this blue ribbon net classic. Allison hardly played in the form he displayed at Wimbledon, where he conquered Henri Cochet in the quarter- final round in straight sets, but he played well and Wood was forced to mflol’m in flawless style to conquer im. ‘The same smooth, easy stroking, al- most machine-like game which gave Wood his victories over Bryant Grant. George Lott and Frank Shields in the earlier rounds of the tournament again carried the Forest Hill boy to his final- round triumph. Allison was the more brilliant in flashes, especially when the Texan could work his way up to the net, but Wood was by far the steadier and steadiness proved of more value than brilliance in the long run. ‘Wood showed great courage in pull- ing out his victory. . He did not have to avert match points as in the Lott and Shields matches, but he did have to come from behind one set handi- caps twice and from 0—3 in the final chapter. He never gave up, fighting all the time, and his flaming spirit and will to win were as important factors as his beautiful - stroking. In the semi-final round of doubles, Wood and Prank Shields of New York were eliminated by Berkeley Bell of ! Dallas, Tex., and Gregory Mangin of South Orange, N. J., 9—7, 8—10, 4—6, 11—9, 9—7, in an endurance contest | that lasted mearly three hours. Wood and Shields were at match point four times in the fourth set, but each time Bell and Mangin fought them off. In the finals tomorrow Bell and Mangin will face Richard N. Williams and J. Gilbert Hall. In the mixed doubles John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J, and Marjorie Gladman of Santa Monica defeated Big Bill Tilden and Helene Marlowe of Los Angeles, 6—2, 6—2. TILDEN TOPS DRAW IN EASTERN_EVENT By the Associated Press.

Nine of the country’s first 10 ranking players are entered as well as 4 Brit- ish players. Of this country's leading stars only Wilmer Allison of Fort Worth, Tex., has passed up the tourna- ment.

No imported horse can be raced there, but steeds can be imported for breedin BIG PICNIC HELPS T0 ATIRACT THEN Varied Entertainment Due Crowd at Montgomery County Finals. ITTLE Laytonsville, in the heart of Montgomery Coun- ty, Md, will become the | horseshoe pitching capital | of the Metropolitan area of Wash- next Thursday when town cham- pions and runners-up get to- gether in what promises to be & corking battle for county honors in The Star's second annual tournament. Action will start at 1:30 pm. There will be a double attraction at Laytonsville. The horseshoe tournament will be,one of the most impoytant events of the metropolitan affair, and by itself would attract many horseshoe pitchers from Washington and Virginia as well as Maryland. But the visitors will be offered a variety of entertainment. There's that Modern Woodmen's picnic, and, oh. boy, wot a party! A full 2,000 attended it last year and more are expected this time. There will be something doing every minute through most of the day, and in the evening an outdoor dance will cap the affair. Laytonville still owes some money on its new town hall and figures to wipe out the indebtedness with Thurs- day's picnic. Outstanding among _the horseshoe pitchers will be the metropolitan cham- pion, Millard E. Peake of Bethesda, and Charles A. Fort of Glen Echo, who was defeated by Peake in the Bethesda final in the most sensational duel ever fought in championship competition hereabout. Fort is the Washington title holder, but is ineligible to defend his crown because of lately acquired Maryland citizenship. He’s bent upon taking from Peake the Southern Marylind title by way of get- ting even for a pasting the tall Be- thesdan handed him last year in the | metropolitan grand finale. Both are popular with horseshoe fans and neither will want for backing at Laytonsville. Some who have kept tab on the leading pitchers of the tourna- ment believe Fort will win the Mont- gomery County title. He and Peake are easily the class of the county’s tossérs, and the dopesters calculate it's Fort's turn to win. He has lost two u|mgh decisions to Peake in metropolitan play. | QOME of the best Washington and vth’fln:; plwhe{l thwul try their strength against the Marylanders in an informal tournament to follow the title matches. There will be two courts, and they likely will be ki busy all day. F. Guy Riordan, county chairman, promises that the courts will be kept constantly in tip-top shape. Riordan rounded up nearly 100 pitchers for Laytonsville's preliminary, and they won't finish until a day before the county finals. Not having seen any other participants in the Metro- politan tournament, Riordan is making no boasts regarding his own chnr{:. “We're not very hopeful of our cham- pion runner-up getting past the county finals,” he sald yesterday, “but next year it will be a different story. Horse- shoe pitching has taken hold sure enough at Laytonsville and the towns near us, and we guarantee to make a showing in 1931. WEEK following the Montgomery county event the Arlingwn County, Va., finals will be staged at Bar- croft. Barcroft has no picnic to offer but |its safe to say the town will be swamped with pitching fans August 21. The county chairman, Jose] Kirchner, and his brother, Alexander, Northern Virginia champion, a much to put the game forward and their tournament likely will be a model. Glenn Talbott of Rosslyn will be the defending champion. ALBOTT would do well to retain his title. He has suffered one de- feat already, having lost to Dr. Eye in the Rossiyn final. Dr. Eye is & newcomer to the metropolitan tourna- ment and something of a dark horse. He got most of his horseshoe experience in the Middle West where the sport is on a high plane. 'N the meantime; most of the Wash- ington preliminaries are nearing completion and some time this week dates for divisional play-offs will be ar- ranged. There will be eight divisional tournaments, to be followed by Eastern and Western sectional events and then a Washington final in which the sec- tional champions and runners-up will compete. The field here is dotted with dark horses, several experts having come to Washington within recent months from hotbeds of horseshoe | pitching. SHOOT OPENS AUGUST 18.
