Pitchers from several county districts had it out at the annual farmers’ pic- nic for the honor of representing their bailiwicks in the county finals, to be held August 30 at Manassas, under the direction of Maj.

TILDEN AND MANGAN | CLASH AT NEWPORT By the Associated Press NEWPORT. R. I, August 21.—The fortunes of the Newport Casino tennis draw today forced Bib Bill Tilden, de- fending champion, to attempt the dif- ficult task of brushing Gregory Mangin, capable Newark racqueteer, out of his path to the semi-finals. Despite an injured hip that has rob- bed him of much of his mobility, Tilden | has advanced through four brackets without grave danger. His wealth of experience, wide variety of strokings and keen competitive spirit, has made him a favorite over the Jersey player. Tilden's Davis Cup teammates have also accompanied him into the fifth round, George Lott of Chicago, inter- national singles player, will clash with Sydney Wood, sensational New York youngster. Wilmer Allison of Austin, Tex.. and his Davis Cup doubles partner, Johnny Van Ryn of Orange, N. J., will also be | seen in action. The former will en- gage Frank X. Shields of New York, while Van Ryn tackles Frank Hunter, | | veteran New Rochelle, N.

By the Associated Pres; RION, Mich,, August 21.—"“The | Haig” isn't through yet. Sud- denly reversing the form that threatened to topple him ence and for all from his pedestal as one of golf’s greatest stylists, Walter Hagen once more stood out today as a one big threat in one of the favorite tourna- ments of his long career, the Western open championship, A record-breaking 67, five strokes under par, in the 18-hole qualifying round over the championship Indian Wood Country Club course yvesterday and a 66 in the practice test the day before, was Hagen's signal of his| promised comeback. The rounds shat- | tered the course record and again placed him as a marked man in a champlonship_ struggle. Hagen appeared the Hagen of old. He smacked his shots with his old- time accuracy, snared an_eagle and four birdies on his_triumphant round and lost only one decision to par—on the short thirteenth, where a short ap- proach and a rimmed putt forced him to take a four against & par three. It was one of the best rounds he has ever carded and that included the many he tallied in the triumphant seasons that have been his Withal, Hagen faced spirited compe- STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE golf clubs have shattered their own previous course records by | few days.

Mihills got all his shots working to- gether the other day, and registered a 16, which is only four over par for the Indian Spring course. Richardson also found himself in a fine scoring humor and registered a 76, which is three over par for the Congressional layout. And now Mihills is backing himself at all manner of odds against F. L. Hudson, his favorite golfing pa:tner and the man who usually takes his measure on the course, while Richardson, by virtue of Wis 76, has established himself as a former national open champion from New York, who finished one shot be- hind Hagen in yesterday’s 18-hole qual- ifying test with a brilllant 68; Al Wat- trous, Detrolt pro, who scored a 71, and the two Espinosa brothers, Al and Abe, from Chicago, both good cam- paigners in medal play. So roomy was the qualifying space yesterday that 121 made the grade for the championship tussle with 84s or better. Thirty-two sutomatically qual- fied because of last year's low scores. Other low scores in yesterday’s qual- ifying round were: Charies_Guest, Detroit, 70; Johnny Fischer, Fort Thomas, who led the amateurs, 71; Emerick Kocsis, De- troit, 71; Jimmy Noonan, Chicago, 72; XECUTIVES of two Washington |golfer who has shown more improve- | ment this year than most of the men who play at Congressional.

Only a few youngsters have entered for the Dis- s.| trict junior title chase, to be played at the other | the Washington Golf and Country Club on September 2, and not many have come in for the senior championship, which is billed for the Burning Tree Club on September 4 and 5. The junior championship comes the day after Labor day, and only one dm for practice at Burning Tree by the Jjuniors intervenes between the junior event and the senior event. Inasmuch as one of several juniors may hit a streak and win the senior event, it ap- pears that more than one day of prac- tice might have been granted the ju- niors by the District Golf Association. Ties in both events must be played off immediately. U. 8. SOCCER TEAM IN TIE.

Williams, who writes that the pitchers are busier than ever, although the Boyds preliminary has been finished. So much have the Boyds twirlers improved over last year that the defending champion, Charles Custer, and the runner-up, J. M. Kingsbury, had no chance this time. Williams himself won the 1930 title and J. Frank Rubel took second place. Williams and Rubel didn't show for the Montgomery County finals af Lay- tonsville, Williams explains, because they thought the tournament would be tponed on account of rain. Millard eake's victory was popular among Boyds pitchers, he says.
