DOZEN CAPITALITES INTEST TOMORROW Columbia Course in Fine Con- dition for Its Invitation Event This Week. ITH the Columbia County N Club tournament and its elongated entry list top- ping the golf bill this week about the National Capital, the eyes of golfers will turn mo- mentarily tomorrow to three wide- ly scattered cities in the vicinity of Washington, where 11 of the golf professionals of clubs about the Capital and 1 lone amateur will strive to qualify several of their number for the national open championship, to be played at Toledo e2rly in the blistering days of July. i sectonal qualifying rouncs for the open ch2mpionship wil be played tomorrow at sorge 20 widely separa.cd cities, from Maine to Calitornia, and | out of the sectional rounds will emerge | approximately 110 golfers—amateurs and professionals—who will be qualined | 10 go to Toledo early in July | o struggie for the greatest prize in| golf—the American open championship.

Only one of th> Washington boys has decided to go to Philadelpnia. where the sectional trials will be played at White- marsh Valley. This is Gene Larkm, the well-lik>d assistant pro at Chvy Cnase, who, like his mentor, Barnett, hails from the Quaker City. All of them will play 36 holes over the courses which they have chosen and it will not be at all surprising ere night falls tomorrow to see four or five of them make the grade. | Last year, it will be remembered, three Washington pros grabbed all three of tke places open at Richmond.

Philadelphia—Gene Larkin, Chevy | Chase. At Oakmont there are eight places open for a field of about 90 men, and the early predictions have it that a Palr of 82s will qualify over that tough | ayout. The scoring at Richmond and Philadelphia probably will be lower, for neither the course of the Country Club of Virginia nor Whitemarsh Valley | have the possibilities for unlimited trouble that awaits the wayward pill at Oakmont. That course, you know. is where they have 3-inch furrows in | the traps, and when a ball gets in them, as Jones says, all it takes to get | out is a “strong back and a willing| heart.” All the boys from Washington | are playing well. or were when they left here, and it will not be surprising to gee several of them qualify for the Jonesless champlonship at Toledo a month hence. Amateur Golf at Peak. OLUMBIA'S big show this week brings amateur golf about the Capital to its peak.

RINCESS: ANNE COUNTRY CLUB, Virginia Beach, Va., June 6.—Playing superb golf of true champlonship caliber, Billy Howell, 18-year-old Washington and | Lee University student, who hails from | the Country Club of Virginia at Rich- | mond, today retained his Middle At- |lantic Golf~ Association championship, | defeating Walter R. McCallum of Wash- ington Golf and Country Club in the final round of the 1931 title chase by 5 and 3.

The _youngster, a former Virginia | State t.tle holder, is entered in the national amateur chlmr.omhip this year and should do well.

TILDEN, 2D, ‘World's* Professional Tennis Champion. HE past week has been very I significant in the events in the tennis world. France has successfully defended ! her own championships for men !through the victory of Jean Boro- |tra over his teammate, Christian | Boussus. The United States Davis | play of Frank Shields and Sidney Wood, earned the right to meet the ultimate victor in the Euro- pean zone and will be on the high seas when this is published. The clean-cut victory of PFraulein Cilly_Aussen of Germany in gaining th> Women's Singles Championship of France from a fieid that included Helen Jacobs, Betty Nuthall, Eileen Bennett and Simone Mathieu stamps the little German star as second only to Helen Wills Moody herself. In my last article I said I believed George Lott was the logical singles main- stay for this tbroad. On the day that was published Lott went down to sudden and apparent- Jy totally unexpected defeat to Pat | Hughes of England, and I was once more convicted of being the world's worst ten- nis prophet. I own defeat in this case. Lott Lost Big Chance. Frankly, 1 fully expected Lott to be at least finalist against Borotra and possibly to beat him and win the title. If he ‘had done so I think he would have earned his place. It was his big chance to make sure of his position and 1 deeply regret that he threw it away possibly through overconfidence an carelessness. Lott should have beaten Hughes. He is the better player. In marked contrast to Lott's l]ament- able defeat was the magnificent per- formance of Sid Wood and Frank Shields against the Argentine team. Boyd and Robson of Argentina are an experienced and dangerous team. To defeat them at all is no mean schieve- | ment, but 1o blank them 5—0 is mag- | nificent. | Shiclds and Wood seem to have defi- nitely earned their positions in the Davis Cup singles and no matter what | the outcome of the matches in Europe, | the bovs have fully justified the con- | fidence placed in them this year. Clifford Sutter showed his class by his victory on the last day, even though the strain was over and the tie won. Sometimes, when viewing the Davis Cup situation, one is prone to wish that Wimbledon did not complicate the trip of the team, but, after all, even though Wimbledon is on grass, where can young players gain such valuable experience as on the historic turf of this English club in the greatest of all tournaments? Wood Is Vastly Improved. Wimbledon is no new story to Lott and Van Ryn. but even though Sydney Wood plaved there previously, it was long enough ago, and he was so young at the time that to him and Frank | Shields it will be almost the same as | a new adventure. Sidney played a fine match against Lacoste on hie first ap- pearance. but his improvement sin then has been so great that the Eng- lish will hardly believe him to be the same boy. I believe that Frank Shields. with his magnetic personality, his physical vital- ity and his dynamic hitting, will be a greal favorite with the British pub- lic. I look to see the boys prove one of | the most popular attractions of the vear. It will be too much to expect them to reach their best form just off the boat and plaving on grass for the first time this vear, but I believe they will come close enough to their real ability to make their record an im- pressive one. If Lott and Van Ryn can repeat their French championship victory at ‘Wimbledon. their claim to the world's best doubles team should be clear and cur Davis Cup doubles worries over I Inck %o sec them winners, and if so. can hardly imagine any other pair successfull” stznding against them in Paris, even if Cochet-Brugnon should represent France. | French Situation Delicate. | The French situation is clearly a | delicate one. Can Cochet recover in time to pley and if %o can he re- produce his form of other years? Probably, I would say! He is the out- standing’ genius of the racquet and as Brake Service Lily Alvarez, hp, year's Davis Cup team | Tilden Likes Yankees’ Chances at Wimbledon such he will come, through under greatest. stress, If Cochet plays, will his teammate in singles be Borotra or Lacoste? Personally I would count on Borotra rather than Lacoste this year, for Borotra is match-tough, while La- | coste has had no competitive tennis for nearly three years. Lacoste at his best is the superior to Borotra, but I believe that Borotra today s far more reliable than the un- known quantity that now is Lacoste. ‘With our Davis Cup singles players en route to Europe to join our doubles team at Wimbledon, American tennis fans face an exciting and interesting six weeks. To Wood, Shields, Lott ana Van Ryn and their captain, Sam Hardy, good luck and all success.
