THEY DON'T SPEAK THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D 00N Gy, Avildl, 6. 19 OUR LANGUAGE. —By WEBSTER . [ tve JusTHAD THE | AWFULLEST TiMmE | crROERING UP A | TRUNK FROM THE TANDEM BOARD. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE CORD CIRCUIT PEPEATERS BY H. C. BYRD. O big Western universities Missouri and Stanford, may | come here next seascn for | basket ball games. Both | have signified their desire to make | trips East, and, if arrangemems! now in the making finally take successful form, both will be seen | on local floors. Somewhat definite commitments | already have been effected whereby Mis- | souri will make the trip and play three games, meeting West Virginia, George Washington and Marylana. These un versities have virtually agreed to spiit the cost of the trip among them, so that Missouri 1l receive m each equal guarantees sufficient cover penses. Arrangements for the Sta have not pregrassed so far @ have gone beyond the stage cf discus- | slon. Stanford has made known l'..‘l desire to come here and attempts have | been made to outline a schedule of| games the guarantees of which would meet the cost. It is possible that the Stanford trip may nct take place until the following year. Jim Pixlee, director of athletics at George Washington, is arranging the trip for Missouri, and it is he who has taken up with Stanford the question of playing in this section. Pixlee has many official connections and close per- sonal friends throughout the West and is taking a good deal of pleasure in working out plans to help them bring their basket ball teams East. 'HE University of Iowa is to play a night game here next Fall instead of on Saturday afternoon, when it meets George Washington. Coach Pix- lee of the Colonials has been working on the Iowans for quite a while in an effort to get them to play at night, and the final agreement to do so is a real feather in his hat, because, so far as the writer knows, it will be the first | time that any Western Conference eleven has taken part in a night con- | test. The game is scheduled for Fri- day night, October 28. ARYLAND'S base ball team left here this morning for Charlottes- ville minus its regular first bas man, Spencer Chase. The tall fello broke his thumb yesterday in batting practice and will be on the bench for some time. His place is to be taken by Gorman, who held it down last season, but who has been in the outfield this Spring. Gorman is a good first-sacker | and about the best batter on the team. | ‘The game Maryland is to play today at Vi ia was scheduled last week, but was not played on account of rain. Coach Shipley took a squad of 18 men He did not say before leaving who would | do the pitching, though he probably will | send in Physioc. Davidson. McIlwee and Ruble are the other hurlers on the t=ip. HERE seems to be an_ insurrecticn | among some of the Maryland col- leges over fees charged by batket ball officials. Scme of the schools got the thought that too big a percentage of the costs of basket ball was going into the pockets of officials and cal'ed a meeting in Baltimore two weeks ago. From that round-table discussion has come a definite decision to lower the | fees for games and if certain officials do not feel that they can work for the lower amount then other officials Will be procured.

The Northerners, who put the bee on MILD WINTER, RAIN That Promise to Be in Best State Ever. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HE depression in the best weather circles, which had the local golf courses suf- fering from a two-year drought and consequent poor con- dition, is over. From all sides and all the golf layouts around the Capital come optimistic reports, marked by the most rosy predic- tions from Greens Committee chairmen and course supervisors that the drought, which started back in 1930 and continued partly last year, has been whipped to a frazzle, and that with a mild and |open Winter behind them the golf layouts around Washington, on which thousands of duffers whack and beat helpless golf balls into submission while Old Man Par gayly laughs at their efforts, are due to be better than ever this year. This optimistic picture of the golf sit- uation this year comes not from one club, but from all of them, as fairway grasses shoot up at the rate of a half inch a day, putting greens regain their normal Spring-time velvet and the courses take on the well-groomed ap- pearance that always is characteristic of them in the Spring, when a golfer’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of bul- let-like lee shots and putts that find the bottom of the cup. Which is all by way of saying that every one connected with golf and golf courses agree that the ravages of the 1930 drought are over and that this year the golf courses about Washington, which suffered plenty from lack of rain and lengthy heat during 1930 and part of 1931, will come back this year and be better than ever before. F course, this does not mean any- thing to the golfer who has not grooved the old swing, for he finds it just as hard to score on a well groomed course as he does on a layout where the grass has hardly started to sprout. But it is true that this year, what | with a_heavy snowstorm following a mild Winter and frequent rains re- cently, zll the golf layouts around the Capital look better and are better. That practically rainless Summer of 1930 did plenty of damage to the golf courses. But last Summer the latter part of the season found a lot of rains and this year conditions have been ideal for growing fairway and putting green grass. It won't be long now before the put- ting greens at all the local courses will be top dressed, and if we have a light rain after that happens, watch 'em sprout. The fairways already have been rolled at some of the courses and on a few of them Summer mhal uld be put in uss right now—a monl fore they are normally played. And within 10 days the putting greens will be in top- notch shape, at least two weeks earlier than normal. S, the depression is over in so far as the condition of your favorite golf course is concerned. Dick Watson of Chevy Chase and Indian | Spring, R. P.

Fitts of Columbia all agree that the past Winter and early Spring have been ideal for bringing the courses into perfect condition earlier than usual. All of them, as well as the course su- pervisors at the other golf courses, are working hard and bringing results that wreathe the faces of the Greens Com- mittee chairmen in smiles as they note the heavy stand of fairway grass and the good condition of the putting we have normal Spring rains, the golf be wonderful.

Ellsworth Vines, Frank Shields, John Van Ryn and Wilmer Aliison Vines. Shields and Van Ryn hold three of the first four places in the national singles rankings, and Allison and Van Ryn rate as the No. 1 doubles combination of the Nation. Allison, originally slated for an alter- nate position on the squad, moved up to the “varsity” when George M. Lott 20 YEARS AGO THE STAR. ASHINGTON ball team was to play the Cornell University nine this a.ternoon in American League Park. The Boston Braves vesterday defeated Washington, 7 to 5. Engel and Boehling, vitching for the Nationals, received bad support Tyler pitched and Gowdy caught for the Braves. Howard Shanks has earned a job as utility outfielder with the Na- tions. Ryon was slated to pitch today for Catholic University against Ver- mont. Donie Bush, Detroit shortstop, is a hold-out, and Oscar Vitt, who last season played third base for San Francisco, is filling Bush's shoes ac- ceptably. John Kilonis, Greek middleweight wrestling champion, will try to throw both Jack Conners and Jack Herman at the Lyceum. Frank Sherman of this city won his fourth match in the National | Pocket Billiard Tourney in Phila- | delphia, defeating W. Wilson of | Hackensack, N. J., 150 to 82. S | announced that business would prevent EW YORK, April 6.—The bur- | him from participating in Davis Cup den of American Davis Cup Play this year Undoubtedly Vines and Shields will be picked to play singles against Cana- da, with Van Ryn and Allison confining their attention to the doubles, in which they are the current champions Against this squad Canada will throw a team composed of Dr. Jack Wright nd Marcel Rainville of Montreal, Gil- bert Nunns of Toronto and Walter Martin of Regina. Wright and Rain- ville, in all probability, will play the singles, and Rainville also may be asked to carry on in doubles as well, perhaps with Wright Of the American team only Vines has had no previous experience in Davis cup play. Van Ryn and Allison formed the American Davis Cup doubles combina- tion in 1929 and 1930 and against Mexico in the American zone last year. Lott took Allison's place as Van Ryn’s partner overseas. Shields played through the cup campaign of last year. Should the team eliminate Canada, as expected, “other players may be given consideration for future tles based on their previous records and this sea- son’s play,” Bernon S. Prentice, chair- man of the Davis Cup Committee, an- nounced. The team will gather at Pinehurst, N. C., next week, playing in a tournament starting there April 11: in another at White Sulphur Sprmgs, W. Va. starting April 18, and then go to Wash- ington April 25 to complete training. They will practice at the Chevy Chase | Club. . 30TH YEAR AS MANAGER. ‘This is John McGraw’s thirtieth year as manager of the New York Gian!

MORTENSEN IS BARRED NEW YORK, April 6 (#).—On top of the prospective loss of & number of for- eign athletic aces to the 1932 Olympic games, the National Amateur Athletic Union has disclosed that Jesse P. Mor- tensen of the Los Angeles A. C., nation- al decathion champion and record holder, is not eligible to represent the United States. Mortensen'’s connection for so with the Riverside, Calif., . lege as a teacher in ph bars him from the Olympics under i ternational rules, according to Deni J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the A A.

Unlike most of the better players among her sex and most of the male stars of to- day, Miss Orcutt sticks to the old-fash- joned wooden shafts in all her clubs And how she hits ‘em! She is fully s long from the tee with her hickory shafts as most male players, and hits the ball through the green with the crispness_and accuracy of a profes- sional.

Johnny Evers, center season, Golf Analyzed BY JOE GLASS, A common f-ult of the player who or stoops over his ball at the ress is that the minute he begins backswing he stratghtens up his This, of course, changes his ition entively. No part of his body except his feet is in the same relation to the ball as before. If he continues in the more up- right position, the player is very apt to top his ball. But if, as is the nat- ural and usual thing, he tries to get back to his former position, his right oulder is almost certain to drop. Down goes the clubhead, too, BoDY BENT ON DOWNSWING SAME AS AT START STRAIGHTENED BODY, WHICH PROBUCE'S \ TOPPING striking back of the ball Now, it may be that it is natural for you to bend over in addressing the ‘ball. Bill Burke, present open champion, bends over and maintains that the position is natural to him. It certainly is effective. But Burke doesn’t straighten up when he starts his backswing. He has schooled himself to keep his head and shoulders fixed where they were at the address It is all right to bend over if you feel more comfortable that way. But you will find it easier to “groove” your swing If you use the more upright stance, like. Bobby Jones, MacDonald Smith and most of the prominent golfers. Burke's stance is probably due to the fact that he was self-taught and didn’t really begin studying the game at as early an age as the other stars.
