THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO! D. C, SEPTEMBER 17, 1930—PART FIVE. Youngster Is Star of Shoe Tourney : Panholzer Takes Prince Georges Finals FORMER KENTUCKY CHAMP BEATEN BY 14-YEAR-OLD Carow, Hero of Sensational Upset in Iowa Avenue Play-offs=—Stant Gives Quantrille a Battle. Grand Finale Set for Saturday. T'S anybody’s horseshoe championship in the Washington sec- tion of the Metropolitan District tournament, now drawing to a climax. The grand finale, in which Washington, Northern Vir- ginia and Southern Maryland champions and runners-up will compete, will be held next Saturday at 3:30 o'clock on the Plaza | playground, near Union Station. | Early this week the eight divisional play-offs in the Washington | section' will be finished and the survivors will go right on into the | East and West sectional play-offs, which will determine the four | pitchers who will represent the Capital in the grand finale. | Northern Virginia’s representatives already have been selected | and are awaiting eagerly the big test. C. C. Henson of Arlington and Alexander Kirchner of Barcroft, both of Arlimgton County, will carry | the banner of the Old Dominion and, mark you, they'll hold it high. A more popular champion than—— was Eric Bombard of Bloomingdale, Yyoung Henson (he’s 17) hardly | g‘mld have been produced in the orthern Virginia play-offs. Following his victory at Barcroft the other night the youth was acclaimed hot only by his fellow Virginians but pitchers from Maryland and Wash- ington, whose admiration he won through a courageous struggle with the 1929 Old Dominion champion, Alex- ander Kirchner, in the final match. Before this he had eliminated another tough customer in Sam Darnes, pop- mlar runner-up of Fairfax County. It is easily possible that Henson will meet a plicher or pitchers younger than himself in the grand finale, for there are several lads in the Wash- ngton divisional play-offis who are making brave bids to reach the Metro- politan_finals. Notable among these is Glenn Carow ©f Petworth, who the other day pulled the outstanding upset of Washington competition by eliminating Wilson Jones, for three years amateur cham- lon of Kentucky. Glenn took Jones' easure in the Iowa Avenue divisional mmeet, in the second round, 50 to 35. Though only 14 years of age Carow handled himself like a veteran. He ‘was a bit nervous at first but quickly got himself under control and over- came a margin that Jones had piled up. The dope is against the youngster to ‘win the divisional meet, but for that matter the dope was against every pitcher who won a major title last year, Before reaching Carow Wilson & tough time disposing of Melvin Tor- ney, the Phillips playground cham- fon. Torney led at one time by 43 26, and appeared a certain winner when the score was 49 to 39 'in his favor. Thoroughly on his mettle, the Kentuckian run his way out of the hole and a double header put him only two points behind. With the score 49 to 47 against him Jones tossed on & ringer for the victory. NOTHER youngster to be feared by the recognized stars is J. Stant of Vi ia Avenue. The defending champlon of the Virginia Avenue divi- sion, Hubbard Quantrille, barely was able to overcome Stant in the final, Stant taking the first game, 50 to 39, losing the second, 15 to 50, and the third by 44 to 50. It was accounted extremely unfortunate for Quantrille, himself an unbearded youth, that one of his shoes knocked off a Stant ringer in a critical spot. 'D KEITH is the new champion of the New York Avenue di¥ision. He was forced to bear down all the ‘way to defeat Jean Monk in the final, 50 to 45 and 50 to 32. Keith hails from the Emery Playground and Monk from the New York avenue lot. Vie Riston of Brookland repeated his triumph of last year in the Blooming- dale division. His victim in the final ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER. HE third month of The Star’s fishing contest has passed into history. Upon completion of & careful examination of the fish entered Rod and Stream finds that ‘William B. Holton of 3621 Newark street is the winner for the fresh-water prize, having landed a small-mouth black bass at Widewater on August 16 weighing 4 pounds 2', ounces. Holton caught his prize fish on a Heddon fly rod and » bass bug. Fred W. Lehnert of Fort Myer, Va., won the salt-water prize with a trout weighing 6% pounds, landed at Ken- wood Beach, Md., August 24. In his letfer entering his fish Lehnert Baid: “This is to certify that I caught one it with hand line at Kenwood Beach, .. August 24, between 8:30 and 9 a.m. “The fish was 29 inches long and weighed 6’4 pounds heavy. “My wife and 1 were spending the week end with Mr. and Mrs. John Portch at their cottage at Kenwood Beach. We were out in the Portch’s motor boat about five miles from shore when I made the catch. Mr. Portch and his son-in-law, Ray Frith, were present and saw me pull it in." Big Trout Not Entered. ‘These anglers are requested to come to room 1723 Star Building and receive their prizes. Rod and Stream knows that a seven-pound trout was landed, but this fish has never been entered in the contest despite the fact that its captor brought his fish to us and we have a picture of it. There are rules goremming every conitest and they must followed in order to win. The angler with the seven-pound trout lost an op- mny to get a complete salt-water | outfit by not entering his fish. Perhaps he will land another during Beptember and, if so, we earnestly re- uest that he cut his entry blank from | ay’s Star and send it in. Another | angler enters a catfish weighing 13'; | pounds, but this species of fish is not | eligible for a prize, the contest being confined to game fish, namely, large and small mouth black bass in fresh | water and trout, rockfish and taylors in salt water, The Police Department’s latest club is the fishing club, composed of men at headquarters. Its membership is as follows: Lieuts. Frank A. Varney and Charles J. P. Weber, Detectives H. E. Brodie, Hoyle D. Secrest, T. M. Bragg and J. E. Kane and A. P. McKennon, headquarters clerk. These anglers have been making week end trips to Piney Point and have caught many fish of all kinds, but on their last trip they had trouble with sharks. Now the men are used to catching sharks of all kinds, in their regular work, but when they go fishing the less sharks they encouniter the better satisfied they are. ¥ ~ 204-pound Catch. On the last outing the sharks were numerous, every man in the party land- ing one or two, but when another species of fish was on their lines and a shark swiftly came along and bit the fish in two, they really got angry and called it a day Anyhow, they wiil make trips to their favorite fishing grounds until the ‘weather gets too cold for comfort.
