CREVNE OLDTINE * TEAMIPLAY TODAY "Forty Members of Each Club to Shoot—Chevy Chase Grass Defies Heat. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. OMETHING like 40 members ! of the Washington Golf and | Country Club are to be en-| tertained this afternoon by an equal number of their friends of the Columbia Country Club. The "Washington players have been asked to be d#t the Columbia Club for luncheon at 12:30 and| then will play a round of golf. No| teams, as such, will be chosen,! but the matches are to be ar- ranged at the first tee, with two) men from each club playing in| foursomes. Not sinc» the old-time team matches of somewhat unhappy memory, has & mmatch been played between Co- lumbia and Washington, and today affair likely will b® followed by a re- turn engagement at Washington. The team matches iapsed—or rather, were allowed to lapse—because they were un- popular with the rank and nle of the club golfers. But today's affair between Washington and Columbia is entirely different, for the game has nothing of a formal nature about it and consists only of a group of about 80 friends get- {the Spring. |and filling has been done on the space | Virginia Expands Its Athletic Facilities to Aid Intra-Murals! versity of Virginia will be more than doubled during the ses- sion of 1930-31, according to James G. | Driver, Virginia's athletic director. | Contracts have just been let for the | construction of three new practice and playing fields suitable for foot ball in | the Fall and for base ball or lacrosse in These are in addition to the new $300,000 foot bail stadium now being constructed.

Such affairs, in our opinion, are| "First of all we want to develop a much more fun than the old formal | Well rounded system of athletics with challenge matches, in which the con- |8 program broad enough to take care that we intend to put too much em- | training every man who reports for var- | | trainer and track coach, who was star testants played as if much more than | club honor was at stake. Indeed, the as one of the why the clubs discontinued the matches, together with postponements, | and the fact that during ihe Summer | months few of the clubs were able to | get together a representative team be- cause so many golfers preferred to g0 out of town over the heated week ends to playing in the team matches. Most golfers like competition, but they pre- fer competition with their own friends and like to make their own matches, rather than have them made for them. | F all the golf courses about Wash;g ington which we have played dur- ing the heated spell, we have no hesitancy in saying that the fairways at Chevy Chase, on the whole, have withstood the neat in better shape than those at most of the other clubs. Un- doubtedly this comes about because the Chevy Chase fairways are older than | those at most of the other clubs, have a heavier stand of grass in consequence | of their age, and because of the gently volling terrain, have been subject to fewer washes when it rained—if it ever did. Even today, after two months without rain enough to thoroughly wet the grass, the fairways at Chevy Chase | have grass on them, although it is burned and brown. However, below the | ball there is something to go into be- sides clay and dirt and a divot can be taken with less likelihood of fluffing the shot than at most of the other courses. | OMAN golfers of the city are to | W play tomorrow morning at the | Columbia Country Club in a match | play handicap tourney. Pairings will be made at the first tee and prizes will be put up for low gross and low net. ROM Saratoga Springs, N. Y., where F the Summer racing season is on, comes word that James G. C. Cor= | coran of the Washington Golf and| Country Club has set a course record | of 68 for the Ballston Spa layout. Cor- coran shot the first nine holes in 34 | strokes and duplicated that score on the | second_nine. He was playing with | Harry D. Cashman, also of Washington, | who it refetred to in the accounts of Coreoran’s _record-breaking _score as “Daddy” Cashman, and called the sporting editor of a New York news- paper. Harry used to be a newspaper | man himself, but has been out of the | news-writing game for many years. HAT night golf experiment con- | ducted at the Manor Club last Thursday night with the aid of | Yights hung over the shoulders of the | players, may lead to development of the game at night to some degree about | Washiagton, in the opinion of Harry G. Pitt. Playing with Pitt were Al Treder, pro at Manor; George Richard- | son, E. B. Baxter of Manor and J. B. Murphy of Columbia. ~They played eight holes with the aid of the lights and only one ball was lost, when Bax- ter flubbed his tee shot at the fourth Thole and lost the ball in a ditch. The best ball of the quintet was 34, and | between them they made four birdies. | Treder and Pitt halved a hole in birdie | 3s, while Baxter ran down a lengthy putt for a birdie 2 on the second hole. ' MONRO HUNTER, JR., winner of - the Maryland Country Club tour- nament, looms these days as a distinct threat to win the junior and senior championships of the District next month. Hunter has been knock- ing the ball around Indian Spring in the low 70s for several months, and only last week romped home with a €9—two under par. He played the first nine holes in 34, had luncheon, and then played the last nine in 35, for his 69, the best mark he ever has made on_the course. Hunter’s game, & bit inclined to Jooseness last season, has tightened up considerably this year, and today he is' about as hard a golfer to beat as any amateur about the.city. Always able to hit a long tee shot, he has tightened up his short game and is putting very well. He is not quite able %o keep up with his dad from the tee, however, for the elder Hunter has se- cured a new driver with what he calls & “tin shaft” with which he knocks the ball astounding distances from the tee. The other day he hit one so far on the par 5 seventh hole that he played his second shot to the green with a mashie-niblick. y UITE a group of Washington golf- ers are planning to watch the > amateur championship at Merion late next month. Ten or 15 players e planning to go to Philadelphia from Columbia to watch Bobby Jones try to ‘make it a perfect year, and incidentally to watch Miller B. Stevinson and Harry Pitt attempt to qualify.

By the Asrociated Press. YE, N. Y., August 16.—Gregory Mangin, Davis Cup alternate of | Newark, N. J,, and Georgetown University, and 19-year-old | Clifford Sutter of New Orleans, holder | gant's Cup regatta on September 12 and of the intercollegiate championship, fought their way to the final round of the Eastern grass-courts men's singles championship on wet courts today. In taking their semi-final round | matches they eliminated higher rank ing stars. Mangin turned back John Van Ryn, Newark, N. J. No. 5 in the | ranking, 6—1, 6—1, while Sutter's win | came over Berkeley Bell, Texas, No. 9 | player, 6—4, 6—3. The' two_youngsters will clash in the | final match tomorrow afternoon, while | the title Tound in the women's singles | will bring together Miss Marjorie Glad- | man, Santa Monica, Calif, star, and Baroness Giacomo Levi of Italy, former Chicago girl, who has been the sensa- tion of the women’s championship this week. Miss Gladman today defeated Miss Clara Louise Zinke, Cincinnati, 6—3, 6—3, while Baroness Levi elim. inated Miss Helen Marlowe, Los An- | geles, 6—0, 6—3. Mangin's victory over Van Ryn was less expected than Sutter's victory over | Bell, for Van Ryn had won his way to the semi-final round by defeating sev- eral opponents without loss of a set. Though all players were handicapped by the muddy condition of the courts, only | Mangin seemed to carry off points with | a startling finish that made the gallery forget the heavy balls. Earned poinis. were chalked up by | Vvan Ryn while Mangin was scoring placements with regularity. The Bell- Sutter duel was marked by numerous falls as the players desperately sought to | retrieve balls, Sutter, however, man- | nicety. The women's doubles final-round match_tomorrow will present Miss Vir- | ginia Hilleary, Philadelphia, and Miss | Dorothy Andrub, Stamford, Conn., | against Miss Virginia Rice, Boston, and | Miss Clara Zinke, Cincinnati. The for- | mer pair today downed Miss Edith Cross, San Francisco, and Miss Mianne Palfrey, Brookline, Mass.. 8—6, 5—1. 6—1, while the Rice-Zinke team d feated Miss Marjorie Gladman, Santa Monica, Calif., and Miss_Josephine Cruckshank, Santa Ana, Calif, 6—4, —17, 6—4. Both semi-final matches in men's doubles were stopped by a late shower. Van Ryn and Mangin were leading the English pair, S. J. Perry and H. M. N. Lee, 65, in the third set after each | pair had taken a set. Bell and Eddie Jacobs, Baltimore, were opposing Ells- | worth Vines, jr., Pasadena, Calif., and Keith Gledhill, Santa Barbara, in the first set of the other semi-final when the rain intervened. 44 V.

Cause of Slice And Easy Cure BY SOL METZGER. While T-bby Jones was winning | the recent open title at Interlachen we talked with over half a hundred pro golfers about their teaching problems, Most of the conversation was confined to the chief faults of average pupils. In short, what brought the pros their business. The vote was almost unanimous that slicing is the main trouble with most of us who do not devote our | CAUSE. OF SLICE. HANDS LEAD CLUB /7 | entire time to golf. And the almost unanimous verdict of these leading teachers -and players was that slic- ing- on /the part of those Who habitually do so is caused by the hands leading clubhead at contact. The effect is the same as pulling the face of the clubhead in toward the left hip as you strike the ball. The cure is easy, yet hard. All you have to do is to have hands and club face on the same plane as your club goes through. Sol Metzger has prepared a fine illustrated leaflet on “Slicing” which he would be pleased to send to an: u&u it. Send stamped, to him, care of the foreign seed: 1 _France 2 3. | & 5 6. 7T 8, .England ‘This is a pretty strong entry but let us glance for a moment at the probable list_of American seeded stars. The United States players should be seeded as follows: 1. Tilden, 2. Hunter 8. Loty Mercur 4. Allison . Coen There is & chance that Mercur and Coen might be challenged for place by any of the following: Bell, Mangin, Sut- ter, Vines, Wood, Grant or Pare. Borotra to Take Part. Certainly Borotra will be on one side of the tournament and I will be on the other. This would throw Lee on my 5. Doeg 6. Van Ryn side and Hunter, if seeded two, on the | side with Borotra. Lott and Allison would be drawn and one each would g0 into the quarters with Lee and Borotra, while Hopman and Moon, if playing, would be with Hunter and my- self. Certainly on paper after the season record to date Borotra and I are logical finalists, but far be it from me o say either or both of us can come through. -Lott proved in the Davis Cup he is very close to beating Borotra while Hunter has beaten the French star the majority of their matches over the past four years. Wilmer Allison's wonderful Wimble- don performance shows he may spill any one at any time. Lee at his best is a difficult proposition. Yet I cannot fig- ure that the only- chances for defeat of the top-seeded players lies among the first four Unifed States and foreign stars. Far from it. There are many thampion beaters in the lower seeds and among the unseeded players. I look to see John Van Ryn have a big national championship. He might be the dark horse of the tournament. Owing o John Doeg's delayed return f{ from Europe I do not look to see him repeat his great performance of last year and he may go out early in the meeting. Junior Coen is about due to spill & few leading stars and I would not be surprised to see him well up in the last few players. Watch out for both Hopman and Wood as well as Boussus. If the young French star hits a streak he may do almost any- thing. May Be Many Upsets. : There is still another group that must be considered when the question of upset_comes up for discussion. Any one of Bell, Mangin (who beat Austin at Wimbledon), Sutter, Shields, Selig- | son, Pare, Sidney Wood. Grant, Hall, Williams particularly, A. W. Jones, Barry Wood and White might produce tennis that would upset any one of the seeded stars. I consider that this year the Ameri- can championship is a wide open tournament that any one may win. My choice for _semi-finalists will be Borotra and Hunter on one side with either Lott or Allison, which ever is on that side, and me on the other. It would not surprise me to see an all- American semi-final, and I feel we will see an all-American final. Up to the middle of August Frank Hunter, handicapped by iliness, had shown little of his true form: but with the rest of the month of August for hard training, and once more in good health, I think you will find Hunter again in the final and quite possibly the winner. ‘The boys whom I think will be the stars of the tournament will be Lott, Allison, Van Ryn and Coen. Only Borotra of the foreigners, I consider serious, although if Moon rouses him- self to play hard he has a great game. Naturally I would give much to suc- cessfully defend again, but no one realizes more acutely than I the great danger the defending champion runs in n event where there are so many good players all specially keen when they meet the title holder. Any way I look to see the most in- teresting American championship of | recent years, with an excellent chance | of the title staying at home. (Copyright, 1930.) GENERALS TO HAVE 14 LETTER MEN BACK LEXINGTON, Va, August 16.—En- thusiastic letters and reports of Summer activities which will prepare them for the strenuous 10-game foot ball sched- ule of the Washington and Lee Generals this Fall already have been received by Head Coach Eugene Oberst from many of the 44 men who will report here for practice September 1. Tilson, guard and center, reports that he is driving mules in a Texas con- struction camp. F. D. Williams, half- back, sends word that he has been punching cattle in Montana. If necessary, Coach Oberst reports, an entire team can be made up of the 14 letter men who will return this Fall, all of whom are good players. ‘The letter men returning are Groop, center; Day, end; Jones, halfback; Faulkner, tackle; Thibodeau, halfback; Williams, end; Bailey, tackle; Bledsoe, end; Harris, guard; Holstein, guard; Gene Martin, quarterback; Mattox, haltback; Mitchell, fullback, and Bob Martin, gyard. Because of a Southern Conference ruling, this year's squad cannot report for practice until Labor day. This will ailow Oberst and his backfield assist- ant, W. E. “Bus” Malone, less than three weeks in which to prepare their team for the opening game of the season.

A remarkable inning by Herbert Sut- cliffe, who scored his seventh century in Anglo-Australian matches, steadied !the homeland team down and took it round the bad corners met when star batsmen like Wally Hammond, W.
