SPORTS. Many Stellar Golfers, Professional and Amateur, Start Play in Capital Open NEARLY 130 SWING ONKENWOOD LIS | i Many of Italian Strain in Field Setting Out for $2,550 Prizes. M stand off the attack of the| Scottish, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic pretenders to the crown of first “National Capital open golf‘ champion.” As the frost-bitten early starters left the first tee to- day in the chill of a November morning at Kenwood Golf and Country Club at least one-fifth of the field of nearly 130 stellar golf- ers gathered in Washington to shoot for the purse of $2,550 put| up by the Kenwood club could USSOLINI called on his shock troops today to Walker Declines Stribling Serap By the Associated Press. EW YORK, November 7.—Mickey Walker, the pride of Rumson, N. J., has decided he'd prefer not to tangle with Young Stribling, at least not until after he has had & “ghot” at Max Schmeling's heavy- weight championship. Negotiations for a match between Stribling_and Walker in Madison Square Garden December 11 ended abrutly yesterday when Jack Kearns, Walker's manager, declined to con- sider the match L:t gu time. ‘Walker expect sign for a match with Schmeling soon, the bout to take place either in Miami, Fla.; Los Angeles or Atlantic City. Schmeling himself has indicated that he would like to meet Walker, who regently held Jack Sharkey to a draw. TOP FLIGHT CHOICE IN PIMLICO STAKE Whitney Horse Will Be 0dds-on Favorite in $70,000 Race to Be trace their ancestry back a gen- eration or two to a clear blood | strain of the nation whose des-| tinies are guided by the dynamic personality of Mussolini—Italian dictator. For golf, be it known, no longer be- longs to the races who cradled and nurtured it along the wind-swept shores of the British Isles. The warm blooded Southerners from Italy have swept into the professional game and are going 80 fast that within a few years, at the Tate they are going, it will be a rarity to find a true Scot among the entry lists at major championships. The Na- tional Capital open, which started to- day at Kenwood Ciub, is another ex- ample of the manner in which these seccnd and third generation sons of Italian blood have taken the game of golf and made it their own national game. Many Potential Champions. So far stubby little Gene Sarazen is the only Italian-American who has won a national championship. But who is there to say that among the Ciucis, the Turnesas, the Serafins, the Maneros, the Piores, the Mazziotis or the Mattuccis there shall not come forth tomorrow, come sundowm, an American lad with Italian parentage who will be the first winner of the National Capital open golf champion- ship? be sure, the entry list in the tourney today contains plenty of good Scottish and Celtic names like Armour, Forrester, McLeod, O'Hare, Nolan and ©O'Connor, but the preponderance of the names characteristic of any one race is in favor of the warm-blooded sons of Ttaly, who have embraced the game of goif and are going somewhere with it. They are all good Americans, though, the Sarazens, Turnesas, Armours, O'Hares ard O'Connors, and all of them have an equal chance to cop off & share of the prize money today if their skill is equal to the test of meeting the golf course and beating it. The ample-sized purse, exceeding in size the money put up for the national | open championship, has drawn them | lfi.' from lH corners of the land, and somewhere out of the huddle will come tomorrow night a lad who will proudly step up to the pay-off window and draw down the lion’s share of the purse. Statistics are dull affairs, but they are quite necessary in the case of such a mathematical affair as a golf tourna- ment where figures—chiefly the figure 4—are the most prized symbols of all. Some Bald Statistics. Here are the bald statistics on the first National Capital open tournament, which started today at Kenwood: The club—Kenwood Golf and Coun- try Club, located about two miles north of the District line on the River road immediately west of Bethesda, Md. The entry—Leading professional and amateur golfers of the East, including | the present British open champion, the P. G.

By the Associated Press. ONWAY, Mass., November 7.— Happy Jack Chesbro, famous spitball pitcher who gained the pinnacle of base ball's heights a generation back, died yesterday at his chicken farm in the heart cf the Berkshire Hills, where he learned the game he played so well. A heart attack brought death to the 58-year-old spitball hurler. | Happy Jack wes a native of North Adame. He was developed on the sand- lots of Western Massachusetts and he | gained his first experience in organized base ball with the old Springfield club. Once With Pirates. Chesbro, christened John Dwight, re- ceived the ccgnomen “Happy Jack” long before he joined the ranks of organized base ball. It wes while he served as | an attendant at the Middletown, N. Y., | Insane Asylum that an inmate called | him “Happy Jack,” and the name stuck. | From the diamonds of Western Massachusetts he went to the Rich- mond club of the Atlantic League and Jater joined the Pittsburgh club of the National League, where he began his big league career. Whlgle with Pittsburgh, in 1901 and 1902, he led the National League pitch- ers, winning 21 and losing 9 games for an average of .700 in 1901 and piling up & percentage of .824 the following year, with 28 victories and 6 defeats. Wild Pitch Costly. He won 14 straight games in 1904, while with the New York Highlanders, before the Red Sox, then a pennant | winner, stopped him. The Boston team seemed to ?m\'e a jinx on him, for he lost the pennant to the Sox in the final game of the season when he uncorked a wild pitch that let in the winning run, uHis spit ball became the talk of the base bl?l world and, while he was not the first hurler to use the moist de- livery, he was regarded by many base ball authorities as the best. Happy Jack's best years were spent under Clark Griffith, then manager of the Highlanders, and he stayed with the New York manager until 1909, when his arm went back on him. A short term with the Red Sox followed. In 1924 he made his last appearance in major league base ball. For a time he helped out with the Nationals’ pitch- ers uncer his old manager, Griffith. ‘Then he turned to a small chicken farm in his native Berkshire Hills to spend his days of retirement.

'OMAN golfers of the Indian Spring | Golf Club carried the battle to the home course of the Columbia Country Club women's team yesterday and defeated the host players on their own layout, 7 points to 2.

Thelr performances thus far this season have been balm to the ruffied feelings of those who figured mortals and teams to win, show and 3,284 yards in length, with a par of 36—total 70. ‘The rules—United States Golf As-| sociation rules will govern all play, | with the exceptions that the ball may | be teed in the fairway and the penalty | for ball out of bounds is loss of dis- | tance only. | Conditions of play—The entire field | plays 18 holes today, the first 60 and ties to continue play at 36 holes to- morrow, Wwith the prize places to be | based on the 54-hole total. | OT the least of the interesting | phases of the tourney will be the battle between at least half a dozen good amateurs for trophies put up by the club. The amateurs are topped by Billy Howell, the Richmond | youth, who was the sensation of the last amateur championship in his march to the semi-final, where he was stopped by the veteran, Francis Ouimet, They also include Tommy Bones and Everett Eynon, amateur stars of Co- lumbia: John Lynch of New York, Howard Tryon of Detroit, Edgar Lucas, Tom Cole and Ernie Caldwell of Balt more, Luther Steward and M. Parker Nolan of Columbia and a few others | Yho brobably will not qualify today | for the final day of play tomorrow. Another phase of the tourney will be the attempt of the stars to shatter the course record of 66 made only a week ago by Walter W. Cunningham of Burning Tree. If the weather re- mains cold and windy it is not prob- able that any of the pros will shatter the 70 mark, although Tom Creavy, the P. G. A. title holder, might have ac- complished that feat yesterday had the Jow temperature and the cold wind not driven him in after he had negotiated the first nine holes in 33. Tommy Armour, the British open champ, split- ting the pin from tee to green and putting like a duffer, was around in 74 on his first gallop over the course. Most of the others were merely content 1o try out their shots and few of them would relate their scoring efforts. | All the local professionals, practi- cally without exception, have turned | out for the tournament and one of them may work himself well up into the list of money winners. It would not be at all surprising to _see a lad like Cunningham, who has been burn- ing up the course in practice, step out and shoot himself a score good enough to place well up on the prize list. But, in the main, sunerlor ckill and experience probably will count, as it does in most golf tournaments, and the touring pros, who make the play- g of golf their life work, will carry the lion's share of the dough.

Yessir, the most suicidal act in bowl- ing—prognosticating just what pinmen will be the fair-haired boys—has been nothing short of uncanny by those who called the names of three, four or five | boys who would produce fireworks. The Lucky Strike team was a favorite when it went to the post in the Dis- trict League. Rendevous, the champ, was well backed. So was Hyattsville, end others in other leagues. In that the prognosticators took it on the whiskers in a big way. But how the individual performances of Clarke, Megaw, McPhilomy and Smith are re- viving them! IGHT now this quartet comprises the District's “Big Four.” ‘And they were liked b& plenty ‘way back before the season began. Clarke is showing no signs of weak- | ening with his 130 average on his back. | | The Old Dominicn boy shot sets of 389 | and 380 this week and though 390 is necessary to maintain a 130 pace, he did well enough. He has shown many that he has “arrived,” but there also were a lot of folks who believed it last year when he won the Howard Camp- bell Sweepstakes. Then there’s Earl McPhilomy with a 120 average in the District League. This week he has rolled 397 and 412. And it was no handful who figured Earl's comeback would be a smashing success. HOKE SMITH and Red Megaw were not due to “arrive” for the simple rezscn was that they already had Neither were they making comebacks after a few years of retirement. But give the prognosticators (Arthur Lcgan was one of 'em), credit, for credit is due. There are about 20 other bowl- ing stars of almost the same caliber last year who could have been picked to lead leagues and things. Megew opened up fast and Smith Pin Honor R High Ind. Game.

For the past month he has been under treatment at Walter Reed Hospital, where physicians have been making every effort to clear up the bone trouble which threatens the end of his golfing career. They finally have advised amputation, but meanwhile a group of friends have ad- vised Frank to seek the services of one of the famous American orthopedic sur- geons in New York. He hasn't made up his mind gel as to just what to do. More than a year ago the British goverrment advised the United States ‘War Department that the Victoria Cross had been awarded to Lieut. Frank C. Hartig for conspicuous bravery under fire near Loos in 1917. Hartig was an American officer observer, brigaded with a London regiment, and du an en- gagement he went out under severe enemy machine-gun fire to rescue one of the British officers, retu badly wounded by machine-gun fire, spent months in the hospital, and during the years that have intervened has been handicapped by his injuries. For several years Frank was profgs- sl at the Army-Navy Club here, resigning from that post on May 30 to accept a berth with a club at Saranac Lake. A month ago his leg began giv- ing him trouble, and for a fos ht he walked on crutches. His many friends in Washington hope the leg may be saved and that Frank may in be a familiar figure on the golf courses around Washin; IN CHESS CIRCLES BY FRANK HE third game in the match be- tween F.
