Sp Shoe Pitchers to Form Leagues ©ORTS. EXPERTS WILL GIVE DUFFERS A CHANCE Handicaps to Be Governed | by Performances in Monthly Events. ORSESHOE pitching is to be made an all-year sport in | the territory covered by! The Star’'s metropolitan district championships. Leagues are being formed in| Washington and several counties | of Maryland and Virginia and 1 next year it is expected that vir- tually every town and neighbor-| hood in the metropolitan area | will be represented by a team. The league idea is that of several ex- pert. pitchers who sought to give the | dub a chance for victory. Handicaps | will prevail, these to be based on the | showings of pitchers in monthly tourna- ments. | After the current tournament is fin- sshed, which probably will be during | the first week of September, the Metro- | politan District Horeshoe Pitchers’ As- | sociation will be organized under the auspices of The Star. Under its direc- tion local tournaments and leagues will operate and each season will be rll-i maxed by the metropolitan champion- ships. | Preliminary plans for the organiza- tion are being worked out by Walter S. Steele of Cleveland Park, Joseph Kirch- | ner of Barcroft, Northern Virginia | chairman: Millard Peake of Bethesda, | metropolitan district champion: Charles A. Fort, Washington champion the horseshoe editor. When they have mapped an organization a general meet- ing of chairmen in The Star’s tourna- | ment will be called to effect it. ! The Metropolitan District Association | will be affiliated with the National Horeshoe Pitchers’ Association. whose Tules w:ll govern all competition. NUMBER of pitchers who played in The Star's tournament last year remained out of the current affair because they knew they would be out- classed. On the other hand, there was & new and large crop of duffers en- tered. In a handicap league they would | have equal opportunity with the experts. | Handicaps will be based on ringer | and close-shoe averages, a close shoe being one within 6 inches of the peg. | COMMUNITY'S team will be made | up of its five best pitchers, these | to be determined by monthly tournaments. In a league match each player will mecet all the members of | the opposing team. To purchase prizes a_small membership fee will be levied. -The Star will continue to fur- nish all prizes in the metropolitan | championships. ORSESHOE pitching is a year-| aronnd game. Some of the par- ticipants _in the metropolitan | {ournament _ played _throughout last | | | | | { Winter, on occasions removing snow from the courts. It is a better sport in Fall and Winter than in Summer. D KRUSE, chairman at Beltsville, | Md.. believes his new champion, | A. Kerns, will cut a figure in the Prince Georges County play-offs. Kerns defeated a large field at Belts ville with ease and his victims in the Anal was Kruse, who is much better n average Roy Stanaert, who won the Beltsville title last year, took Kerns' measure in doing so, but the lat- ter has improved since then. He averagrd 14 ringers a game this year He beat Kruse by scores of 50—36 and 50—24. In the first game they | were tied at 36 points, but Kerns at | this point bore down and Kruse never had a chance thereafter. Following are the results of late | rounds at_Beltsville: P. Chaney de- | feated F. Flore, 50—48; L. Edwards de- | feated P. Manuels, 50—45; E. Kruse de- | feated A. Scroggins, 50—17; J. White- head defeated I. Jenkins, 50—33; H.| “Pilkerton defeated W.

Alexmul?ifl’é bol Diegel Thinks Hagen Will Stage Comeback BUFFALO, N. Y., August 11 ().— leo Diegel of Chicago, national champion of the Professional Golf- ers’ Association, predicts a comeback for Walter Hagen. Here on an exhibition tour with Horton Smith, Diegel said sports commentators have based their ob- servations only on Hagen's failure to qualify in the Professional Golfers’ Association match play. “Hagen will stage a comeback.” Leo asserted. “that will make golf history. Hagen is hitting the ball to the green better than ever before in his career. Let Walter just get back his putting touch and he will be right in the front rank again.” TWO STARS BEATEN THE EVENING STAR, A CLOUTING THOMAS N EASTERN TENNS Shields and Vines Put Out in| Second Round—Other Fa- vorites Score.

A. Harri- man at No. 1: H. W. (Rube) Williams at No. 2, J. Checver Cowdin at No. 3 and Elmer J. Boeseke, jr., at back. The Reds, spotted eight goals in handicap, held the Whitss on even terms until the sixth chukker, when Hitchcoc¥'s four went into the lead and stayed there, Pedley was once more the scoring ace for the Hitchcock combina- tion, _tallying _eight scored four and Hitchcock two. Although Pedley's _ sharp-shooting earned the verdict directly for the Whites, it was some fine defensive work by Hitchcock and Guest that held the Reds in check. Two spills marked the game.

Washington and New York are still battling for second place, Cleveland and Detroit are rivals for the last place in the first division, and Chicago and | . Louis are contesting the next to last place in the league. Cellar posi- tion goes to the Boston Red Sox by about as wide a margin as first place goes to the Mackmen. Even their friends thought the Red Sox would fin- | ish )ast, and the Red Sox are not play- ers to double-cross their friends. HE National League race is still “a honey.” The Brooklyn Robins have a tough row to hoe in the next few weeks. Their series with the Cubs will be an important set of games. Chicago still is convinced that it can win that flag and the Cubs are playing on home soil. New York is still in the running, but the Giants' pitching has not been dependable enough to make one risk a lot_on their chances. St. Louis doesn't seem likely to finish better or warse than fourth this year, although Pittsburgh . might possibly edge into that last first division berth. RBoston and Cincinnati seem to be fight- ing it out for seventh place. The only reason the hard-hitting Phillies are in eighth place in that there is no ninth or_tenth place.

You cauldn’t take a clubhead straight back from the ball without making | a swing that would be anything but golf. | Note Bobby Cruickshank with his iron under way. He takes it back without bending the left wrist, the left arm moving it.

EW YORK, August 11.—1It is a tribute to the personality and crowd appeal of Kid Chocolate that, even though defeated by Jack Berg, the little Cuban monopolizes the aftermath. Is Chocolate really one of the world’s great boxers? Could he have held up his end with the leading performers of his weight of all time? Did he make as good a fight against Berg as he could have put up? Four days after the fight those ques- tions still are being debated wherever the habitues of the stock market con- gregate. The question that intrigues the writer is the last one. It is conceded by all, even by those | who do not admit that Chocolats was defeated last Thursday night, that the | reason he lost the official verdict was | his unwillingness- or inability to fight | morg than a fraction each round, whereas his opponent traveled at top speed for 3 minutes of every frame. There are many, including one mem- ber of Chocolate's official family, who attribute his defeat to the orders - sued by his manager, Luis Gutierrez. That, perhaps, is one reason for the bitterness of Gutierrez over the verdict. In the writer's opinion Chocolate has been held in too much restraint. He always has been given to ‘coasting” for long periods in his important fights. Whether he has been instructed to fight in spurts or whether that is his own idea is difficult to say. At any | rate, whenever faced by a capable op- ponent it has been his habit to fight a while and rest a while. “Keed” Was Under Wraps. It is the belief of this observer that Chocolate, despite the pre-battle prom- ises by Gutierrez, did not or was not to extend himself to the limit in his brawl with Berg and that | he is a much better fighter than he ever has shown_ himself to be. Several days before the fight Guver- rez told the writer thal. altnough be M extend himself, he would send him oul to do or die in the battle with Berg. “Above all things I want Chocolate to win this fight and above all things he wants to win it.” sald Gutlerrez. “You will see the real Chocolate in this fight.” It Chocolate was living up to that promise he is not as great a fighter | as the writer and many others thought, for he loafed through extended periods. He did next to nothing in the fourth and fifth rounds, for example, after putting on a storm in the third. ‘What would have happened if Choc- olate had fought 10 rounds as he fought the third? You can answer that according to your own lights. Certainly, if the Cuban could have gone that pace for 10 rounds he would have won with plenty to spare. Possibly, however, he would have not been able to finish the 10 rounds.
