SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.. MONDAY, Golf World Now Focuses on Ryder Cup Match STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE YANKS AND BRITISH BATTLE THIS WEEK U. S. Has Strongest Line-up It Ever Has Assembled for Classic Series. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. OLUMBUS, Ohio, June 22.— Now come the Ryder Cup matches, between profes- slonal- teams representing the United States and Great Brit- ain, to entertain the golfing pub- lic of America. The Scioto Coun- try Club of this city, Friday and Saturday, will be the scene of the third biennial international matches, which rapidly are grow- ing in favor on both sides of the Atlantic. The Ryder Cup matches will be played next Friday and Saturday and will be divided into singles and two-ball foursomes, both of which will be ov the long, 36-hole route. The United States and Britain each has scored a victory in the matches, the Americans winning decisively at Worcester, Mass., in 1927, while the British won a one- sided victory at Moortown two years ago. As a preliminary to the matches, 13 American home-bred professionals will compete at 72 holes of medal play Mon- day and Tuesday to fill two vacancies and two alternate positions on the home team. Capt. Walter Hagen and the P. G. A. Selection Committee last Winter nominated Gene Sarazen, Johnny Far- rell, Leo Diegel, Horton Smith and Al Espinosa for regular positions with the Haig on the team. To fill the vacancies such players as Joe Turnesa, Densmore Shute, Olin Dutra, Ed Dudley, Craig Wood, Wiffy Cox, Al Watrous, Johnny Golden, Charlie Hilgendorf and four ‘;sht:“ will compete in the elimination | U. 8. Strongest Team. From this group the United States should be able to present the strongest team ever entered in the Ryder Cup matches. The American squad are very confident of victory, and because the British have voluntarily elected to play the balloon ball, it is not believed they they will put up a very strong fight against the native sharoshooters. But Gene Sarazen, who just has re- turned from the British open, where he saw all of the invading squad in action, sounds & word of warning to his com- patriots. “We may have our hands full in beat- ing the British,” sgid Gene. “They have some fine, steady players on their Ryder Cup team and if weather condi- tions are similar to those under which the Western open was played in Day- ton, you will see the British shooting some fine golf. The Britons have been practicing with our ball since late last Winter and it will be no mystery to |. them. We were confidnt in 1929 at Moortown and took a good beating. The same thing could happea at Columbus.” ‘The British have a fine squad prac- ticing at Scioto. Abe Mitchell and George Duncan, two of their standbys, are well known in the United States, and | Archie Compston and Ernest and | Charles Whitcombe are famous wher- ever golf is played. Arthur Havers, an- other of the invading team, is the only Briton to win the British open cham- plonship since 1920 and he is playing fine golf once more. Crack Match Players. Mitchell, Compston and the two Whitoombes are particularly strong match players and they are the ones the American players fear most. Dun- can js given to brilliant rounds and should he hit one of his scoring sprees at Scioto there are few players who can match his pace. The Scioto course is very 1ang and well trapped. It is made the more haz- ardous by the presence of the same fearful rough that made the 1926 United States open a nightmare to so many players. The course will test the | power and skill of both teams and should produce some splendid golf. Columbus has turned the city over to golf for the week. An international dinner, which will be graced by many political celebrities as well as famous golfers, will inaugurate the matches and several other golf events have been ar- ranged. Robert T. Jones, the retired monarch of golf, will be among the spectators. Another probable bystander will be Henry Cotton, the fine young British player, who refused a position on the British team. However, there still is a belief that Cotton may settie his difficulties with the British P. G. A. and be in the line-up of his country when the matches start. Minor Leagues American Association.

By the Associated Press. IMBLEDON, England, June 7 22—An entirely new slate of champions will be crown- ed in the British tennis championships beginning today cn the courts of the All-England Club. Not one of the champions or cham- pionship combinations will defend the titles gained a year ago. Big Bill Til- den, who held the men’s title, now is a professional. Helen Wills Moody, queen of women's singles players, elect- ed not to make the trip abroad this year. Mrs. Moody also held the women's title with Elizabeth Ryan. Wilmer “Allison and John Van Ryn won the men’s doubles fcr the United | States last year, but only Van Ryn is on the ground this time. The mixed doubles winners of 1930, B. Crawford of Australia, also have broken up their partnership through Miss Ryan's with- drawal from the tournament. She suf- fered a leg injury some time ago. The United States again presents a strcng challenge with Frank Shields, Sidney B. Wood, George Lott, John | Van Ryn, Gregory Mangin and Watson Washburn in the men’'s division and Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Calif, in the women's. Of these, only Shields, Wood and Miss Jacobs were seeded in the draw. Shields was seeded third, behind Jean Borotra and Henri Cochet of France, in the men's singles. Wood was seeded seventh. Miss Jacobs was seeded sixth in women’s singles, behind Cecelie Aus- sem of Germany, Betty Nuthall, Eng- land; Mme. Rene Mathieu, France; Hilda Knhwln?el Germany, and Elia de_Alvarez, Spain.

McCALLUM: FTER long years of playing with big fellows who swat the goif ball a mile from the tee, Fred- die MeLeod is going to get a break. : Spectators at the forthcoming na- tional open champlonship- to be played over the famed Inverness course near Toledo, on July 2, 3 and 4, will see a «couple of little fellows starting off at 9:25 on the opening day of the cham- plonship and at 12:35 on the second day. the occasion, and some one is sure to ask, “Wh this tournament?” ‘Then there will be hurried recourse to the starting sheet and finally ‘some one else will answer in an awed whis- “That _little’ fellow with the cap gflmddte McLeod. He who won the champlonship in He is playing with Larry Montes, the Filipino.” ‘That's the kind of break Freddie is to get after long years of watching the big boys pole 'em out. Freddie finally kas been paired with some one his size in the orn cmmpionxhlp and he won't be breaking his back trying to keep level with the lengthy wallops of the big men. Larry Montes, according to McLeod, is a fine chap and a fine player, and €ven better for Freddie, he is about the height and size of the Columi mentor. McLeod, you know, tips tha scales at about 125 pounds on a hot day, and he reaches up toward the stratosphere only about 5 feet 4 inch-s. Montes is about the same height and is even lighter than Freddie, and the little Scot from North Berwick is looking forward to a good time knocking the ball around Inverness with a man of his own physi- cal charaeteristics. Back in the old days Freddie used to be paired on occasion with ‘“Nipper” Campbell or Wilfred Reid, men who were about his size. But of late years Preddie has been drawing none but the big men, like Jim Barnes, who tops 6 feet, or Bob MacDonald, or Walter Hagen, who is not so small, or men of like size, who knock the golf ball a long way and have Freddie struggling to | keep up with them from the tee. Monro Hunter, the big man from Indian Spring, is paired on the o) tgen!ng of the championship wi Art Straub of Bloomfield, N. J., at 8:50, and on the second day with the same player at 12 noon. Al Houghton of the Ken- wood Country Club, the other qualifier from Washington, is paired at 2:25 and 11:15 with Georg: Dernbach of Floss- moor, near Chicago. Tommy Armour is to Mlay with Henry Cotton, the ir- repre.mble one from England, while George Voigt, former Capital amateur, is paired with Marcus Churio, an Arzen- e, 'HERE were no scores kept in that friendly golf joust yesterday at Washington, but judged by the countenances of the more than 300 men who braved a blazing sun, the golfers of the host club who entertained and a group of Columbia members had a bang-up time. Notwithstanding the heat of the day, some played 36 holes. No scores were kept and no one was in- terested in the result of the total team match.

HYATTSVILLE, Md., June 22.—Four regular members and five reserves of the Hyattsville High School base ball team, which Saturday won the State championship, drubbing Chestertown | 1 High, Eastern Shore title holder, 11 to 0, will not be_available next Spring. All have been lost by graduation. Francis Peffer, pitcher; Jack Sheriff, first baseman; Curley Byrd, jr., second baseman, and Carleton Heyser, short- stop, all mainstays, are the regulars who will be missing. The reserves who have received their diplomas are Mau- rice Moudy, pitcher; Charley Moxley, infielder, and Bob Newell, Harold Wess- berg and Ernest Michaelson, outfielders. Loss of Peffer is certain to be espe- cially felt. He pitched the team to vic- tory in all five of its State games, as well as in the county contests, and wielded a potent bat. Sheriff and Byrd also proved unusually capable players, while Heyser, though he did not set the world on fire at the bat, proved a timely hitter and a dependable fielder. Regulars listed to return the next school year include De Voe Meade, pitcher and outfielder; Teddy Glasgow, catcher; Francis Green. third baseman, and Babe Anderson, Pred Miller and Coleman Headley, outfielders. Willlam McClay, reserve first baseman, and Stanley Kernan, who played some in thek infield last season, also will be Hyattsville won 10 games and lost 8 during the campaign.

Folks Behind The Microphone BY THE RADIO EDITOR. T an age when most boy children are banging unmusically upon tin drums, Nathaniel Shilkret was playing simple melodies on a clarinet. He had acquired the clarinet on his fifth birthday anni- versary and two years later was pla. ing_clarinet solos in a 70-piece boys’ orchestra. The orchestra’s first public appearances ~ were in New York. Later the young- sters went “on the road” and the child Shilkret was billed as the “boy prodigy of the clarinet.” Seven - year - old Nathaniel wasn't satisfied with the range of musical expression allotted him by the reed instrument. He climbed upon a piano stool and worked hard at ex- Nat. ercises given by a teacher. In a few years his srall fingers brought out the melodies of Beethoven, Bach and other master composers. During all this time the youngster's ambition was to bs a civil engineer. Music was fun—but not considered a possible lifework. He did not dream that his natural talent eventually would put him where he would be conducting orchestras for audiences of millions. ‘That time came when he began radio work, broadcasting through network stations associated with the National Broadcasting Co. He went to school. Mathematics, physics—all studies thought necessary to his planned career in engineering— were assiduously studied. He did not neglect his music though, and even- tually music conquered him. He stopped his study of engineering in his sopho- more year in college. Always ahead of his years in his ac- complishments, Shilkret was an active assistant of Walter Damrosch at the nge or 16. His work was then at the Whfle in his ’teens he played with the ussian Symphony Orchestra, using his clnrln the New York Symphony Or+ chestra and the Barrere Ensemble. He learned more of symphonic music under Sfavov and Gustav Mahler in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. In order to become an accompanist for singers, the yoath took voice les- sons.
