S " HANDED TRIMMING AT ALL OF LINKS Pros and Amateurs Join in Terrific Assault, Marks for Courses Show. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. LD MAN PAR has been taken for a fast and joyous buggy ride by the amateur and pro- fessional golf brigade around ‘Washington in the past few years. The et result of the various rides the “old man” has taken is that at none of the older layouts about the Capital has par been able to withstand the onslaught of the gents who nonchalantly knock in the birdies and eagles and break the ©old man's back in the doing of it. A fair idea of how par may be busted wide open stands on the scoreboards of the various clubs, where ringer con- tests are going on, and where the tabu- lations to date—even in Midsummer— with the contests far from over. show :lgn&par golf is not the thing it used At not a single course around Wash- ington has the par of the course been able to stand up against attacks of the better golfers of our fair community. Amateurs and professionals alike ha joined in the baitle, and the “old man” has been taken for so many assorted sides that par no longer is what it used to be. What with hard ground and soft putting greens, and conditions alto- gether conducive to low scoring, mno| wonder the old man Is staggering| around, punch drunk and groggy, as| the young men and the veterans con- tinue their relentless assault on his | PORTS. Dt [Bopsy JONES * ( AT FeeoLe LAST SEPTEMEER ) A FIGHTER ON THE LINKS - R AWSON LITTLE ,Jr., 20-year- old S8an Francisco golfer, who defeated Johnny Goodman, the lad who jumped to fame by putting Bobby Jones out of the national amateur golf championship stronghold. Just as an example of what may be | done along the line of subjugating par, | note what Tommy Armour did two| years ago at Congressiona), when the| tall Scot took his clubs in those iron hands and shot a 63—which is nothing4 less than 10 under par. Had Tommy | not gotten a bit careless on the four- teenth hole, he might have made a mark that would stand as the world for a lengthy course, for .on that fairly easy fourteenth—a par 4 affair—he took & careless 7. All Have Low Marks. | The Washington course has been shot | in 66, four under par. Indian Spring has been done in 66, five under par. Columbia has been done in five bet- ter than par, and at Chevy Ohase the par crackers have beaten par by five shots Burning Tree has been done in five or six strokes below par, and at all the other courses the gents who say it with birdies have done thelr bit toward knocking the im- pregnability out of the old man himself. Here are the records of the various courses, unofficial and, official, where they have been recorded in the archives of memory or the more enduring rec- ords of the clubs: Washington, official record, 70, macde by Maurice J. Me- Carthy in the qualifying round of the 1929 Spring invitation tournament. Un- official record, 66, made by McCarthy in a friendly round. Columbia—Official record for the Fment course, 69, made by Jim Barnes n the national open championship of 1921. Amateur record (official), 71, made by Bobby Jones in the same championship and tied by W. Carlton Evans and Roger Peacock in the Spring tournament of the club last June. Un- official record, 65, made twice in three days by Fred McLeod two years ago. | Unofficial amateur record, 66, made by Roland MacKenzie three years ago. Various cards below 70 have been made by several amateurs and professionals at Columbia, but none of them, other than those mentioned, can be regarded as course records. All are far below 0. Chevy Chase—Official record, 69, made by George J. Voigt in 1927 in the qualifying round of the tournament. Unofficial record, 65, made by Robert T. Barnett, the club professional. Charles M. Mackall, Chevy Chase ama- teur, shot the course in 66 two years ago, which stands as the unofficial course record. Par for the course is 69 and it is one of the hardest pars to make about Washington. Congressional--Professional unofficial record, 63, made by Tommy Armour in @ friendly game in the Summer of 1928. Amateur official record, 71, first made by Roland MacKenzie in the qualifying round of the invitation tourney four years ago, and tied in the medal round of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association champlonship in 1928. Page Hufty and M. Parker Nolan have shot the course in 69 strokes, but these records are unofficial. Par for the present eourse is 73. Manor Club—Official amateur record, 2, made by Miller B. Stevinson in an exhibition match last year, in which all putts were holed. Unofficial record, 68, made by Harry G. Pitt in a friendly round. In the qualifying round of the Fall tourrament last year Comdr. J. B. Pollard tied the official amateur record with a mark of 72. Stevinson Set Another. Indian Spring—Official amateur rec- ord, 67, made by Miller B. Stevinson in the District amateur championship of 1927. Later tied by George J. Voigt in a tourney of the Brightwood Caddies’ Association. The professional official record is the same, made by Ralph Beach a few days ago in the sectional qualifying rounds for the Professional Golfers’ Association championship. Burning Tree—Official record, 72, | made by Leo Diegel in the t8urney of | the Middle Atlantic Professignal Golf- ers’ Association of 1926. Unoficial | record—Fred McLeod and Leo Diegel, 67. The course has been made in 69 by George J. Voigt, but this score was not official Army, Navy and Marine Corps—Am- ateur record, 71, made by John. C. Shorey in a friendly round and not of- ficial. Professional record, 69, made by Arthur B. Thorn in a friendly round | and not official. Few tournaments have been played at the service club and therefore few scores have been made which might be regarded as official. Woodmont Country Club—Amateur record, 71, made by Harry G. Pitt in the qualifying round of the invitation , tourney three years ago. Professional rocord, 69, made by Arthur B. Thorn in & Iriendly match. Bannockburn Golf Club—Amateur | record, 71, made by William L. Pender- | gast, the club champion. Professional | record, 67, made by A. L. Jamison and tied by A. L. Houghton. None of these marks is official. ‘There is usually a considerable spread between the official and unofficial marks | for a golf course, because A man may have a conceded putt or iwo on the first few holes and then, finding he has a chance for a course record, may start boling them all. In addition, the use of different sets of tec markers make 8 big difference in the length of the golf courses. _Take such courses as Indian last September, hopes to have an- other crack at the crown now worn by Harrison “Jimmy” Johnston when the field tees off at the Merion Cricket Club, Philadelphia, next September 22. Little is the son of Col. William Lawson Little of the Presidio, at San Francisco, and is a very = lar youngster both on and off the golf course. It will be remembered that at Peb- ble Beach last September the popular Rcbert Tyre Jones suc- cumbed in the very first round to: Johnny Goodman, an unknown youngster from Nebraska. The wires were still hot carrying this news to varigus parts of the world when Lawson Little, jr, had defeated ASHINGTON Golf and Coun- try Club members are look- ing forward to the middle of September, when they will entertain much the same group of men who entertained them yesterday at the Columbia Country Club in an unusual golf affair, described by President Charles H.

Indeed, so little was the at- tention paid to the golf that no results were kept and no one today knows just which club won the match. Or cares, for the affair had none of the It was simply & gathering of golfers to play and enjoy themselves. From the contests, as they came in, it was learned that many of them were squere, and that victory seemed to rest alternately on the representative Columbia and Washington clubs, count was taken of the matches, which were played as best ball affairs alone, and not in the usual manner of count- ing three points to each match. ‘The !oum;ml :Z poudao 5 Anderson an .

In & match of youngsters, composed of Tommy Bones and John Holzberg of Columbia against Tommy Webb and James Drain of Washington, the best ball contest finished all square.

On any of these layouis, the use of the | back tees may cause a difference of | two or three strokes in the scorzs of | the best players, for there is usually a difference of 20 or 30 yards on each hole, with the exception of the short holes. The only course records that can be regarded as official are those made in medal play and those made from the year tees, “thg whole length of the golf course,” as Pred McLeod calls it. | Official records for the course of the $eaver Dam Club are lacking, for no big tournaments have been played at Beaver Dam. - That's the test you can yourself make of your game. If not, see your pro and get busy ironing out your troubles. You may finish as the smaller fig- ure in the sketch. That is, your weight has not come through.

Ouimet, too, lost his next match to “Jimmy” Johnston, the ultimate winner, who, it might be said, was “the man who beat the man who beat the man who beat the man who beat Bobby Jones!™ Little defeated Philips Finlay in his first match at Pebble Beach. He has his heart set on another chance at the national amateur title. He is o great competitor, with poise, a fine style, and a tee shot reminiscent of Babe Ruth. He won the annual ‘Washington'’s Birthday Tournament at Del Monte thi¥ year, tied for sec- ond in the national open qualifying trials in June, but was beaten later in a couple of minor tournaments.

ROD AND BY PERRY MILLER ROUGHT and forest fires have taken an enormous toll of wild life and fish throughout the United States. The depletion of game and fish will be felt for fears, according to the American Game Pro- tective Assoclation. Ashes and burned timber falling into lakes, streams and swamps formed a kind of lye.that poisons fish. “The finny tribes have already been decimated and destroyed to a degree that is_incalculable,” ‘says the United States Bureau of eries. “All of the cold-water game fish, such as trout, began to show si of the stress weeks ago,” Lewis Radcliffe, deputy commissioner of fisheries said. “As the temperature of their brooks and streams ran up, there were whole- sale endeavors to rescue these fish and place them in streams where they might ltve.” Black bass, water fish, and many other species died in water thought to be deprived by the excessive heat of its normal content of oxygen. Motor boats have been kept going in many places to keep the .water stirred u& thus creating more oxygen for the 2 These conditions obtain in mnearly every State and it will be some time before State game commissioners, the United States Bureau of Blological Sur- vey and the United States Buresu of Fisheries can approximate toll taken of wild life. Because of these events, it is all the more imperative for all of us to de- vote every effort to conserve the deci- ranks and schools of our game and fish. Alarming as -the situation is, Carlos Avery, president of the Amer- ican Game Protective Association, sald we can not only conserve what we have left, but we can restore the losses if the public will turn to and help their State game and fish commissions, an essentially warm- ; Ron AND STREAM for the last two weeks had speakers for its radio broadcast over Station WMAL, two men well qualified to talk on pollution. The first was Art.hurv!;‘.1 &‘dmsfimr sanitary engineer, - lick Health Service, who told his in- vistole audience that the water resources belong to the public and hence the general public has a right of use. How- ever, as is so often the case, anything owned in_common is generally abused by some, he said. In the case of most of our streams, their abuse has brought deplorable condition of pollu- tion. “‘Streams, rivers, lakes and other bodies of water all are contaminated to a more or less degree. Big rivers may receive large amounts of polluting matter in the form of human wastes or as chem- ically complex rejected matter from in- dustry. ‘Assu the absence of any control or alleviation measures what- soever, the amount of pollution re- ceived by a stream will be dependent upon the population contributing to it.” Miller pointed out that every stream accessible to the people should be con- sidered as carrying some contamination. This, he said, is substantiated by the fact that those responsible for the purification of drinking water usually insist upon the water being disinfected, at least, even though the supply may be one of very good natural quality. “Let us consider the uses to which a river may be placed,” he said. “The highest use of & river or other body of water is as a source of a public water supply. No settlement of people can long exist without drinking water. As streams are natural drainage channels of the land, it follows that the second highest use from a sanitary standpoint is for the conveyance or dilution of sewerage and for receiving wastes from industry or from the development of natural resources. Thereafter, accord- ing to local circumstances, the order of use may be for navigation, manufac- turing, industry, power, irrigation, agri- culture, fishing or recreation. The first two uses of a stream, namely, as a source of public water supply and as a means of removing wastes, are the ones which ‘most often are in conflict with each other. A city which must take its water supply from a river badly pol- luted by wastes from towns farther up on the watershed may, in turn, be caus- ing similar trouble for municipalities Jower than itself on that same shed if it discharges its sewage into the river without tment.’! \ Miller sald that in some cases the polluting matter is increasing so fast that with our present processes it will soon be im le to purify enough to make it suitable for drinking purposes t at a prohibitive cost. ‘Miller- referred to another aspect of particular interest to the angler—the effect of pollution on fish life. Chem- fcal discharges from industry may be toxie to fish and kill them or may ruin the food supply of the fish and force them to change their habitat. Ex- cessive pollution in & river may so de- plete the oxygen content as to make it uninhabitable by fish life, he sald. The other speaker, Carroll Klotzbach, took as his subject “Observations of the Potomac From & Pleasure .Boat.” Klotzbach lives on his boat the year round. H H “Every time I go for & trip down PRO HAS SCORE OF 132, 13 BIRDIES, IN 36 HOLES| LEXINGTON, Ky, August 18 (#).— Fred Miley, Boston, Mass., professional at the Lexington Country Club, yester- day shot 36 holes In 132 over the Coun- | try Club course. | Miley's record was 10 under par.| | which is 71 for the 18-hole course.

'SUTTER WINS TITLE, DEFEATING MANGAN RYE, N. Y., August 18.—The honors of the American tennis season to date have been entirely the spolls of & new generation of players, and yesterday it | was in keeping of the record for the last two months that another of the major grass court titles should fall into the hands of a stalwart youth from the South, who will reach his twentieth birthday on August 31. In the final round of the Eastern grass court championship at the West- chestér Country Club, before a gather- ing of 2,500 spectators, Clifford Sutter of New Orleans and. Tulane University defeated Gregory Mangan of Newark and Georgetown University, tenth in the national ranking and member of the Davis Cup squad, after a struggle that lasted for three hours and fin- ished in darkness and rain. The score was 4—6, 8—6, 7—5, 4—86, 6—1. Other results were: Men’s Doubles. Semi-final round—Berkeley Bell and Eddie Jacobs defeated Ellsworth Vines and Keith Cledhill, 8—6, 10—8; H. G. N. Lee and 8. J. Perry defeated John Van Ryn and Gregory Mangan, 2—6, 6—2, 9—17. Pinal round—Bell and Jacobs de- feated Lee and Perry, 6—4, 6—1, 7—5. Women's Singles. Pinal round—Marjorie Gladman de- feated the Baroness Giacomo Giorgio Levi, 7—5, 4—6, 8—86. ‘Women’s Doubles. Final round—Virginia Rice and Clara Louise Zinke defeated Virginia Hilleary and Dorothy Andrus, 6—3, 7—5. STREAM river T see, pass over and through: a fine big sewer that empties into the Potomac just about halfway to Alex- angria, a sewer that I consider respon- sible for most of the pollution in the river today. This sewer, being located where it is, is supposed to free Wash- ington waters of its output. It does— when the tide is running out. But when | the tide runs in——well, that’s another | story. The walls of the park, the walls of the Eastern Branch, th® walls of the ‘Washington Channel, all are coated by a nice saturated solution of sewage, wherein boats float, boys swim and fishermen attempt to fish. Hundreds of folk sit in the park and enjoy the view and cooling breezes blowing across this vast stretch of sewage. There's one thing certain—one can always be sure of seeing sewage along the water front.” Klotzbach pointed out that the Dis- trict permitted dumping at the foot of South . Capitol street, otherwise known as_Buzgards Point—probably because only a buzzard would roose there under present_conditions. Turning his attention to the water front, he spoke of the space taken up by the District as a parking place for selzed junk automobiles; lumber yards roosting on docks never repaired; a steamboat company maintaining an unsightly shack that has never had a coat of paint since it was built; the Morgue and fireboat stations over- hanging the water and by their appear- ance threatening to slide into the river most any day, and stated that the whole area is one of dilapidation and ruin. Many of the docks are condemned— nearly all of them should be—and the condition is a disgrace, he said, con- tinuing: “Unless a concerted fight is made we may see the time when our river is nothing more than an epen sewer, unfit for fishing, unfit for swimming and unfit for boating. Just take a trip down to Bellevue and investigate that severe case of halitosis that the river has had these many years, and use your own judgment.” ND now to get back to fishing. our ol end Ho k us_the following: o Lewis M.

The diminutive Chicago professional, | one of the game's great stars of yore, stepped up another rung on the come- back ladder yesterday by conquering a brilliant field with par-shattering golf to win St. Paul's first $10,000 open championship over the wind-tossed Keller County course. To accomplish this, Cooper toured the 72-hole stretch in 280 strokes, efght under par, and three strokes betm; losest rival, Tony Manero of fi‘::!l{‘onrk’,: It 'h‘n's urneer o(h‘y '.zwmmlmst “T'J::.f&'fin 31, el:llve strokes under par, on the second nine holes :1”:1118 rd round hed the dashing b m, He took a 37 on the outward trip of the round for an 18- hole total of 68 strokes, that gave him a one-stroke lead over Manero, which he stretched two more strokes with a fine 70, two better than par, on his final round. Cooper’s four rounds were 69—73— 68—70. ‘Horton Smith finished third with & 285 total. The renowned New York protessional finished the three-quarter mark seven strokes behind Cooper, but ended with a 68 that brought him the $1,500 third place money. Manero's score netted hi $2,000. Walter Hagen landed fourth with a 286 score. Gene Sarazen, New York professional, who scored a course record with a 67 on his first round, only to fall a victim of the wind and loose putts, finished in a fifth place deadlock with Charles Lacey, the Young Briton from Clement- sen, N.

The past two years there has been a tourna- ment at Bradley Beach. Two years ago Alekhine won first prize; last year 1t was Kostick. No announcement has been. seen of a tournament this year.

Saemisch played at the head of the German team in the Hamburg tourney. He is the master to whom ca lost a plece and the game, and probably first prize, at Carlsbad last . At the end of five rounds Kash- had won four, Helling, Saemisch Steiner one each and two Were | hyrg, ad. ed. Kashdan won three games m{fflw two in the first five rounds.

The Federation has decided that teams entering must be placed in order of playing strength, and always must play in that order. When the reserve player comes in he always must play at board No. 4. The Hamburg chess correspondent of the London Times, in his dispatch of July 27, makes this comment on the new rule: “Any one who has noticed the kaleidoscope changes in the placing here during the last fortnight will appreciate the ad- visability of this decision.” ’I"}l! chess clubs of Buenos Aires, Argentina and Sso Paulo, Brazl, recently played a telegraph match of two boards. Argentina won one, and got & draw in the second game. THE kriegsplel tournament at the Capital City Chess Club, 917 Fif- teenth street northwest, is making good progress. John Roberts is in the lead with a score of four won and none lost. Mainhall and Whitaker each has won one and lost one, and Gleason and have won one-half and two and one-half.

Dec. 3320 e with Dr. Bern- | o e —s A TOWN CHAMPIONS WILL BE NUCLEUS Virginia Highlands Touts Ross as County Title Threat Thursday. OSEPH KIRCHNER, chair- man of the Arlington Coun- ty section of the Metropoli- tan District horseshoe cham- pionships, will make the first step toward organizing a county league next Thursday night when the Arlington play-offs are held on his electric lighted courts at Barcroft. Eight or 10 towns are expected to send champions and runners-up to the county finals and these Kirchner plans to enlist to form town teams for the league. Horseshoe pitching has been & big game in Arlington County this Sum- mer, and the twirlers don't intend to quit with the finish of the Metropolitan tournament. Horseshoe clubs are being formed throughout the Metropolitan _district, and eventually all will be linked in an association. Monthly handicap tourna- ments will be held in which the begin- ners will have equal chance with the best pitchers, but players with the best ringer averages will be selected for the town teams. Enzer L. Brandon and George C. Thompson of Falls Church will take the lead in organizing a Fairfax County League, Brooke Brubb of Silver Spring, Millard Peake of Bethesda and Guy Riordan of Laytonsville will do the same in Montgomery County, and Ray Panholzer of Seat Pleasant, Tom Gar- rison and Merle Heilman of Hyattsville, Ted Gardner of Riverdale Heights and Earl Pryor of Tuxedo in Prince Georges County. COUNTY chairmen are trying to out- do each other in puttng on snap- py play-offs. Guy Riordan did every- thing possible to make the Montgom- ery County event an all-round success, and the pitchers were grateful. ‘Quality of the courts will be stressed by Kirchner at Barcroft and Brandon at Falls Church. “We have the finest courts in the Me- tropolitan area,” says Brandon. “Our’s” says Kirchner, “are a pitch~ er’s delight.” George Thompson, who owns the Falls Church courts, recenliy installed three to bring his total to five. They are electric lighted. ICHARD S. TENNYSON, assistant superintendent of playgrounds, will have a leading part in the organizing of leagues in Washington. Few realize how much Tennyson has accomplished in establishing the game here. The Metropolitan tournament, ° the Washington section of which is being run off by the playground depart~- ment, has been a real burden to Tenny- son who probably is the most inde- fatigable worker 'his department ever has had. He was largely responsible for the birth of the metropolitan tour nament and his pioneering was done in the knowledge that his own duties would be greatly increased. Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, superintendent of play- nds, gave her full indorsement of ideas on the promotion of horse- shoe xlu:hlnl which Tennyson more than five years ago said could be made a major sport here. He was the first called upon when The Star last year decided to haojd the metropolitan tour- nament. 'SON has proposed that the I grand finale this year be held at night and is making arrangements today for a lighting test at the Plaza gl:yrround where the big event will be ld. More bleachers last year will be supplied by the playground de- partment, w] looks for a much lapger attendance whether the matches are held during the day or night. Due almost altogether to Tennyson's efforts the grand finale last year was one of the finest horseshoe pitching shows put on anywhere, but this year, he avers, there will be several im- provements. HA D CHRIST, chairman at Vir- ginia Highlands, has this to s about the Arlington County finals: “You've heard a lot about Alex Kirchner of Barcroft, Dr. Eye and Glenn Talbott of Ballston and Ed Ed- monston of Cherrydale, but we've & fellow who'll make 'em all dizzy with ringers.

He averages around 23 ringers a game.” finals, which be made by the horseshoe editor at the request of Chairman _Kirchner, who, with his brother Alex will represent Barcroft will be announced to- Judge Fuchs says he offered Sacrae mento $75,000 for Hoag; the player the Yanks landed.
