"A—12 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, =@, 039 o 22, TILT AT GOLUBIA SHORT AND SWEET Brawner and Johnston Play Last 9 in 6 Under Par. Gruver Gets Hot. BY W. R. McCALLUM. EAVE it to Fred McLeod, the little pitch and putt man of Columbia, to dig up a hot | links yarn on these torrid days of Midsummer when the golf scmetimes gets as blazing as the sun and the birdies warble gaily as they stroke ‘em in from far and near. It all happened the other day at Columbia, and Freddie tells it on himself of how he tried to put the whip on a couple of his amateur playmates at the club and how they turned on him and | riddled him with a barrage of birdies. Fred started out with E. L. “Nubb; Jones and Jimmy Johnston. They we to be joined later by John F. Brawner one of Columbia’s best amateurs. Brawner was late and he finally showed up as the other three reached the sev- enth tee. They wrangled around and finally made up a match in which Jones and McLeod were to play Brawner and Johnston, giving them a two-hole handicap in the remaining 12 holes to be played. RAWNER and Johnston were Dot in sulted, They took the handicap and then proceeded to blast that last 12 holes wide open. playing them i 6 better than par, to cover the last nine with a better ball of 31 and completely snow under the best efforts that Jones | nd the “little doctor” could show When the storm was over.” said Frea- die. “T thought I had been in a steam bath. Were those gents hot? They were simply steaming. When one didn't get a birdie. the other one did. I got Three birdies myself, but 1 guess I was Jucky to get a half with ‘em. Birdies simply didn't mean anything to those dudes.” Johnston stuck in a birdie 3 at the seventh and holed a 10-footer for a deuce at the eighth. They lapsed back to par at the ninth, but came again with a birdic 3 at rhe tenth from the putting blade of John Brawner. HEIR only lapse from par or better than par came the eleventh. the hardest hole at Columbia. where they both took 55. But they came right back on the birdie trail at the twelfth. where Freddie got a birdie 4 and secured a half. after Brawner had putted for a 3 and nearly holed it. Brawner then sank a putt for a deuce at the thir- teenth, completing the knockout of Mc- Iood. They proceeded through the teenth and ffteenth with simple but the storm broke again at the where both Brawner and Johnston. just to put in a final punch. | both secured birdie 2s. And they broke up the game with a bird 3 on the sev- epeenth, finishing the nine with a 4 for a best ball of 31 Guess I was lucky to get out alive.” id Freddie. “Were those gents hot? They were simply burning up. You'll nover again get me out on the golf course on such a day. The golf is tco hot and the weather is too hot. Never have I seen so many birdies in cne T reminds us of the yarn of how Dorie C. Gruver put the bee on V. Calvert Dickey over at Washington not 0 long ago. These two friendly golf encmies get mc-re kick out of beatinz each other than they do out of shooting the course in par. They always ha par contract when they start out, for a small wager, said contract usually being 10 or 12 the conurce @ it happened be for 12 pars. Dickey ccasted alonz serenely, getting a par here and therr, but not enough to be safe. Gruver meanwhile was having trouble. He had five pars going out. with the help of a birdie at the fifth, which counts for two pars under their scoring tem. | Under the same system an eagle, or two under par, counts four pars Well. they came to the long fifteenth, with Dickey apparently out of it and Gruver with only seven pars under his beit. In other words he needed four pars and a birdie to complete his con- tract. He laid out a mighty tee shot at the fifteenth, walloped a big spoon shot to the grecn and sank the putt fcr the ragle. “Ouch,” said Dickey, as he sank his putt for a 6. “Here we play all the way around I haven't a chance to get my contract and Dorie hits me right in the eye with an eagle for four pars.” Naturally Gruver got a par on the six- | teenth to run out his 12 par contract. UNNY how some fellows can gear their golf games up from a mediocre performance to one that equals par when they need to do just that. Jimmie Corcoran of the Washington Golf and Country Club is one of those who have that faculty of improving as the going gets tougher. He proved it again yes- terday by playing 16 holes of a tough match in exactly par, when he was figured the weakest - member of the foursome, in which he and V. C. Dickey opposed Dr. T. D. Webb and D. Gru said Webb, “do you know you have two pars for a 70.” They stood on the seventeenth tee. “Well, here goes nothing,” said Corcoran, as he hooked his tee shot into the ditch. “Do you fellows think I am going to be handicapped on a 70 basis? Nothing doing. I'm not a 70 shooter.” He finished with a brace of 6s for a 74. | Corcoran had little Davie Thompson, | the Washington pro, that way day be- | fore yesterday. when he paired with | Dr. J. T. McClenahan and M. C. List | sgainst the best ball of the professional, iving Thompson 1 up on each nine. avie was around the course in 70 strokes. The handicap gave him a' gnatch play score of 68 and yet he was Jicked. The best ball of the other mn’e‘ was 66.

Solomons Island SPORTS. Golf Analyzed BY JOE S HE recent successes of Gene Sa- razen will call attention again to the way in which he grips his_clubs. Almost all the great stars use the overlapping grip. but Gene uses the interlocking. His belief is that it adds to the amount of leverage he obtains through giving him better control of his club. It may be that this is true for Gene. His hands are short and pudgy, very different, for instant, from those of Tommy Armour. There used to be a suppositian that Gene used the interlocking grip only on long shots, switching to the overlapping for the shorter and more SLASS e SAME FOR SHORT PITCH delicate ones. This is not the case, however, for he uses the same grip right down to the mast delicate chip shots It you have hands like Gene's the interlocking grip may be of value to you And, if his case proves any- thing, it is that the interlocking is good for the whole gamut of shots. Note his left hand—well on top of the shaft in the sketch. This aids control. (This 1s one of a series of articles in which Joe Glass analyzes Gene Sarazen’s sound golf form.) The correct grip for holding a club means distance to your drive. Write Joe Glass in care of The Star and ask for his leaflet “Correct Grip for Driving.” Be sure to stamped, addressed envelope.

The river is clear and low at Great Falls and cloudy at Chain Bridge. Just T Falls and cloudy at Chain Bridge I am at a loss to understand. Anglers after the small-mouth black bass are having great sport in the Potomac. The river is full of these gamesters, and one report from | Shepardstown, W. Va., above Harpers Ferry, from Capt. W. R. Moffett of 2900 Carlton avenue northeast, fishing there last Sunday, says that he landed account of their size. He kept 9, the largest weighing 3': pounds. A good many bass also are being landed frcm the dam above Great Falls. The largest reported caught last week weighed 4'. pounds. Capt. Moffett says he used a wet fly to entice all his fish. Since receiving these reports I am more convinced than ever that local bass anglers will find no better bass fishing grounds than the Potomac River, both above Washington for the small mouth and below for the large mouth. and the best part of it is that the Potomac River has been clear for the past several weeks. Let's hope it will remain clear. FISHING By Ed Decker Incidentals for the Tackle Kit. ISTED below are items that should be included in the well- filled general utility tackle box.

It consisted of Willlam Hard, well known newspaper man and magazine writer, his son. William Hard ir.. and his secretary. Miss Edith Need ham. They landed 86 fi bi; | hardheads and trout, the largest trou weighing 5': pounds. This party went out three times—Friday afternoon when they landed 60 fish; again for a short time on Saturday, when they landed 12, and again on Sunday morn- ing, when they landed 14.

The last Capital hope for a victory in the national municipal title chase faded late ye: terday when Bradley H. (Ted) Bur- rows of Washington missed a 4-foot putt on the eighteenth green to square his match with Karl Karch of Brooklyn. Burrows was licked when he missed that putt, losing by 1 up. Out in 39, Burrows turned 2 up on the Brooklynite, but the Washington player grew erratic after the turn and lost on the home green. Most of the Washington hoys turned their faces toward the Capital today. Burrows and_three others came to Louisville in his automobile. he is planning another trip next Wed- nesday. EORGE KNIGHT of Leonardtown reports that the fish in the lower Potomac are furnishing excellent sport He informs us that a party of local anglers fishing on Tuesday of this week landed 150 hardheads off Kopels Point and that ancther party landed a nice string of big perch and hardheads last Sunday at the same place, John T. Briscoe, State's Attorney, of Leonardtown, with Coombs Birch, Thomas McKay and Capt. L. B, Hun:- ington, trolling off Southwest Middles in the bay off Point Lookout last Sun- day, landed 66 taylors and trout, the fish averaging from 3 to 4 pounds. George H. Stanford, a local angler. with Capt, Tom Trott, landed 42 rock- fish weighing between 10 and 12 pounds trolling off Tall Timbers this week, | and Roland McKay of Leonardtown | landed a large string of trout off Her- | ring Creek | Knight also asserts there is no scar- city of peeler crabs down his way and | that they are selling for 40 cents a dozen at Kopels Point. W. L. Santman, a local angler, writes in, as follows | “For the information of the readers | of Rod and Stream, S. T. Maltby, P. E. | Harding and the writer, fishing at | Tighmans Island last Friday evening landed 199 fish, mostly hardheads. All of the fish caught were of good size | and were landed in about four hours, | fishing with Capt. Randolph Harrison. | Another part of seven landed over 500 hardheads the same evening | “Some nice bluefish and trout also were being caught trolling at Tilgh- mans last week. We saw one catch of 2 large ones by Capt. Lavin Harrison and his part.” Tne fish are here, there and every- | where at the present time in salt water. All that seems to be necessary is to lower a bait to them. The trout and blues are gradually increasing in num- bers and 1t is safe to say that during | August and September = anglers will catch 0 many and such large fish that they will have something to talk about until the start of the next fishing season, | SALES TAX ON YACHTS.

VEN the very toughest of rasslers can stand only so much some 7,000 spectators discovered last night in Griffigh Stadium. Gino Garibaldi, for instance, cannot stand being strangled a half a dozen times and Rudy Dusek cannot take 2 sock on the head from Referee Benny Bortnick's hamlike fist and still strangle. It was all very involved, last night's battle, but it served to send the cus- tomers into a tumultous ovation for one rassler or the other as Dusek was disqualified and Garibaldi given the de- cision. HE match fulfilled all expectations and ranked with the previous Gari- baldi-Dusek affair, which went to no by another dizzy decision. The boys went at it hammer-and-tongs and so worked up was the crowd that half of the ringside spectators remained in their scats when a heavy rain fell abou: midway of the battle. The rest of the crowd scurried to the grandstand. but the gladiators went at it with renewed vigor.
