SPORTS - D.C. May TRIP TO PORTLAND DECLARED T00 FAR Washington Entrants Also Have Failed to Shine in Recent Events. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. yASHINGTON is hardly likely to be represented in the national public links championship of 1933. The championship is sched- uled to be played during the first week in August at the Eastmore- land municipal course at Port- land, Oreg., a distance of some- thing in the neighborhood of 3,000 miles from the National | Capital and about as far West as _ any national title tourney ever has been staged. | Last year the public links manage- ment here paid the expenses of only one man to the Natlonal Tourney, | claiming that the expense hardly justi- | fled sending a team to the champion- ship. George Malley, the red-headed lad | who caddies at Columbia occasionally, | was the man chosen to go as the guest of the public links management, after ad won the city .municipal title. ‘This year, unless there is a marked im- rovement in conditions, it is more than 1y t"h:’: Washington will not have a iree thousand miles is & lot of miles to go to a championship in which there is little more than a meager chance to get anywhere. And the Washington entrants have not proved over the past six or seven years that they can go any- where in national golf. It costs quite a piece of money to travel across the continent and to remain at Portland for | & six days, notwithstanding the induce- ments held out by the enthusiastic gents | out in Oregon, who make the usual “bigger and better” claim for the com- tournament. previous years the public links tourney has been held at points within overnight distance from Washington. But this year the rney takes the big jump, to the fic Coast. Lack- ing a.ntg outstanding star capable of win- e tournament, it is hardly likely that the men who have sponsored public links teams in other years will find the money this year to send any one to the National, although Jim Preston, public links, committeeman for Washington, is & resourceful chng and he may find a way out of the dilemna, either by raf- fling sets of clubs or by some other means. IT‘S only a little more than four weeks to the opening of the big-time tour- nanent season around Washington and already the signs that the young- sters are going to have a good deal to say about the winning of the comin events are becoming evident. Over a ‘Tree the logfilgttm Dick Lunn is sharpening up rong game, ‘having played his home course in 73 the other day. At Manor such kid golfers as Billy Dettweiler and Maurige Nee have been crashing the ball around in 73 and 74, and at Columbia young Billy Shannon is playing daily practice rounds, groov- ing his swing to carry on where he left off last year. The youngsters usually start at a faster pace than the old- timers. It takes hot weather for the older men to get into the swing of the game, while the kids start off at a dizzy pace right away. The opening tourney of the season is the invitation event scheduled by the Manor Club May 9, 10, 11 and 12. This tcurnament, won in 1931 by Bradley H. Burrows of Rock Creek Park, will find all the competition-hungry golf addicts of the city entered. OTWITHSTANDING the uncer- tainty that hovers over the Gov- ernment departments in Washing- ton, Uncle Sam's faithful workers, who play occasional rounds of golf when they find time from their duties, will compete again this year in the annual Interdepartmental League champlon- | ships. 'lp'!:c tourney will be held again this year, it was decided at the annual meet- ing of the league last night, and the teams will play for the Mellon Trophy | as the bureaus and departments are at present constituted, regardless of the changes made under plans for reorgani- zation. The place and date for the “tournament will be settleg later by the Executive Committee. BY H. C. BYRD. base ball team leaves tomorrow on a five-day trip through The Old Liners open with Duke at Durham on Monday with two games, and Tuesday meet North Carolina, | Wednesday Virginia, Thursday Rich- | mond and Friday William and Mary. | Two games at Duke will be the first | | time in many years that a Maryland | nine has met an opponent in a double- | header. It has been customary for some time for Duke to stage a twin bill on Easter Monday and the local school was invited for the role. Virginia and North Carolina both were played last season, but this will be the first visit | the Old Liners have made to Richmond | and Williamsburg in a long while. ‘There has been some question as to | whether or not Coach Shipley could | make the trip, owing to illness. How- ever, he was in uniform with the team yesterday and announced that he prob- ably would go. In its cpening game yesterday with Penn State, Maryland gave some indi- cation that it will be better than it was last year, despite the loss of two fine players in Berger and Chalmers. If the pitching staff holds up, then the team seems certain to make a bet- ter record. Maryland trimmed Penn State yes- terday by 13 to 8 after Penn State| had jumped in a 7-to-1 lead in the first three innings. McIlwee, Maryland left-hander, went on the mound after | the visitors down without much diffi- culty. In fact, he was master of the | !lm!;-flm the whole time he was on the | slab.

The Old Liners simply swept things as far as the running was con- cerned, but in the fleld events neither the varsity nor the freshman teams did anything especially noteworthy, Earl Widmyer, Maryland sprinter, again won both the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and won them running away from his field, without trying his best.

He nof only handles himself well behind the plate, but throws accurately, seems to | have intelligence and is able to wield | a bat with greater eflectiveness than the average catcher. Bob Maxwell of Maryland and Walus of Penn State were the high boys at %t | bat at College Park yesterday, getting a double and two singles out of five trips to the plate. Maxwell also made | a fine running catch of a long foul fly | along the left-field foul line. ARREN EVANS, who graduated at Hyattsville High School, has| ability to make one of the great | quarter-milers of this part of the coun- try. It will not be long before he hauls down his mark for the quarter to a point below 50 seconds. Especially re- markable has been Evans' development in track this Spring, when it is con- sidered that he was out for the basket ball team all Winter. If Coach Eppley refuses to let Evans glly basket ball next Winter and keeps im running in the big indoor meets, he should by the time Spring opens up be good enough to do a lot of things. 1t is difficult, indeed, to run at the same time one is playing basket ball, because it is nearly impossible to keep the run- ner's legs in shape. Young Bob Archer, like Evans, also stands a chence to develop into an ex-'| ceptional 440 man. Evans won the| quarter in the dual meet with Rich- mond vesterday in 50.8 seconds and | Archer was right on his heels.

By the Associated Press NNAPOLIS, Md., April 15.—Coach Gordon Sikes of Princeton was op- timistic today as his Tiger crew | met Navy's eight on the River Severn. | He has the heaviest varsity as-!| sembled recently at Princeton and, in addition, the weather has b2en such that the practice sessions have been longer and more frequent than in other recent years. The varsity averages 182 pounds, while Navy's varsity tins the scales at an average of 177 pounds. Four of his men were on last year's 20 -YEARS AGO THE STAR. OT in years has the weather been so unfavorable for base ball as this Spring. Washing- ton has played just one game, the league opener here with New York, and has been forced to idle the last four days. The old hidden ball trick has been tabooed by President Ban Johnson of the American League. He doesn’t believe it good sportsmanship. Ty Cobb's failure to sign with the Detroit Tigers makes it necessary for the National Commission to re- instate him before he will be eligi- ble to play again. Philadelphia has trimmed the world champion Boston Red Sox twice, both times by one run, and through the fine pinch-pitching of Eddie Plank team and competed in the Olympic trials. Coach Charles (Buck) Walsh of Navy was hardly so optimistic. While | | predicting a close race, he opined his | crew was probably under condition and | did not even allow the four lengths defeat the varsity handed the junior varsity earlier in the week to pep him | up_appreciably. | “'The races, for varsity and junior varsity crews over the Henley distance, start at 3 p.m G.

EW YORK, April 15.—Max Schmeling is looking past his forthcoming match with Max Baer to another meet- ing with Jack Sharkey for the world | heavyweight champlonship in Sep- ! tember. The German puncher thinks Sharkey is a virtual certainty to | *“take” Primo Carnera again, and if | he does Schmeling is ready and anxious for another crack at the Boston tar. “\Carnera is in no mental state to wage & great fight,” Schmeling said on his arrival here here yesterday. | I don’t think he has any money ' and the suit he lost in London re- | cently will not help him either. ‘ Worried fighters are not good fighters.” Schmeling, apparently in great condition and tipping the beim at his best fighting weight, 190 pounds, declined to venture any prediction as to the outcome of his match with Baer at the Yankee Stadium June 8 under Jack Dempsey’s promotorial banner. He saw. Baer fight Johnny Risko in Cleveland and thought the Californian a “big, Strong fellow, a good right-hand puncher.” Schmeling now is at edds with Madison Square Garden, which is promoting the Carnera-Sharkey match June 29, but siys he'd have no hesitancy about signing with the Garden for a Sharkey match in Sep- tember. “If Joe Jacobs makes the match, why not?” he asked. “I do what Jacobs says. He knows his busi- ness.” 4a ting Victory Over Baer. Sure Jack Will Beat Carnera. About the political situation in Germany, Schmeling was less eager to talk, but he said he had seen no instances of persecution of Jews there. “Sport,” he said, “is international. It bas nothing to do with politics, races and creeds. I saw no cruelties against Jews in Germany. My coun- try never was more quiet and peace- ful. Many of my neighbors in Ber- lin are Jews and my manager, Joe Jacobs, is a Jew. There is no ques- tion between sport and a national problem.” Chancellor Hitler, he said, is a fight fan and soon will announce a program for compulsory boxing in elementary schools, high schools and colleges. Schmeling will make a short exhi- bition tour before beginning inten- sive tnlx\mg May 1 at Lake Swanna- noa, N. J, for Baer fight.

Roberts and McClure each won a game in the intermediate class, and went to the second round. The second round found seven play- ers eligible in the advanced class and 14 in the intermediate section. The pairing brought together Byler and Bet- tinger in the advanced class. These players are among the best in the local club, and it was not surprising to find them in a warm contest. The first game was adjourned for a second ses- sion. Tate won from Shepard, 2! to 13, and Knapp stands 1!; to !2 in his match with Weeks, with one game to play. Mundelle had a bye. In the intermediate class second round Aronson eliminated Hervey, Burch defeated Eskin and Hopkins con- quered Norris, each by the score of 2 to 0. Roberts eliminated Lamp, and McClure beat Kurtz, both by the score of 21 to %. The matches between Wright and Ferguson and Bowers and Rubin were not furnished. .

'HE test competition method has been adopted in selecting three members of the team of five to represent the United States in the team | tournament of the International Fed- eration to be held at Folkestone, Eng- land, in June. Two places have been reserved for Marshall and Kashdan. The competition will be held early in May under the auspices of the United States Chess Team Committee, and with the sanction of the National Chess Fed- eration, U. S. A., whose only stipula- tion is that the five players on the team are members in good standing with the federation. All five players will go as amateurs, without any compensation whatever, outside of their traveling expenses. Communication has been received from H. M. Phillips, chairman of the com- mittee, 2 Lafayette street. New York City, stating that these expenses must be raised from American lovers of chess, and that subscriptions to the fund will be thankfully received. Checks should be made payable to Alfred A. Link, treasurer. Favorable replies have already been received by the International Fed- eration from Germany, Italy, France, Norway, Denmark, Mexico and Scotland | to the invitation to participate in the tournament. In 1931 there were 18 teams, and in the teams were such noted masters as Alekhine, Rubinstein, Bogoljubow, Tartakower, Spielmann, Maroczy. Flohr, Sultan Khan. The United States team brought home the Hamilton Russell Cup, emblematic of victory. Kashdan has announced that he will make a tour of the Eastern States dur- ing the month of May for the purpose of raising funds to defray the expenses of the United States team and of boxer, in public audience. Carnera was | spreading interest in his new magazine, accompanied by his mother. the Chess Review. Tolley Pans 18-Hole Matches Ex-British Champ Urges Qualifying Tests and Then Double Rounds in English Amateur. ONDON (#).—“Our present scheme is like a first-class tennis player having a one- set match at Wimbledon.” Such is the indictment of British amateur golf championship condi- tions delivered by Cyril Tolley, twice holder of the title, on his return after two years in America. “I want to see our championship i decided under totally different con- ditions,” he said. “Personally, I would prefer a qualifying round and then the matches over 36 holes.” Under present conditions, each match is an 18-hole test with & 36- hole final. Tolley, who held the champion- ship in’ 1920 and 1929, plans to compete in the 1933 competition at B. WALKE! the Pennsylvania State champion- ship tournament H. Morris eliminated H. G. Weiner in the eighth round, and Morris and N. T. Whitaker are to play it out. Whitaker's score is 7-0, and Morris’ score is 7-1. In the eighth round, according to the Allentown Call, in the game bvetween Morris and Weiner, a draw seemed inevitable after 50 moves. Each player had lost a game, and a draw would have eliminated both players and given Whitaker the title. room and tossed a coin to settle on the winner. Morris won, and on: resuming play Weiner purposely made a bad move. This method of deciding tourna- ments is & new one in chess contests. It does not tend toward fair play. 'N the Metropolitan Chess League, New York City, the Empire City Club furnished a sensation by giving the strong Manhattan Club its only defeat. Manhattan presented on its team Kash- dan, Willman, Kupchik, Dake, Horo- witz and Tenner. The Marshall Chess Club continues in the lead with 10 straight victories.

EW YORK, April 15.—Max Baer, a bigger, better and far less giddy heavyweight than when he last ap- peared in these parts, has gone into profound training for his 15- round scramble with Max Schme- ling the night of June 8 at Yankee Stadium. If he does nothing else of moment on his current visit, the curly-haired Californian can claim the distinction of having thrown a real surprise into the ranks of the city’s fight-writing fraternity, a group that doesn't sur- prise eastly. The last time they saw Max, he was, to put it mildly, quite a character. He went in for liver-colored limousines and chauffeurs of the same hue. He was quaint, both in dress and de- meanor and, to tell the truth, no great shakes as a fighter. That was back in 1931 'HE scriveners, then, scarcely were prepared for the new Maxie, the Maxie who has been broadened by a couple of marathon bouts out West, by a string of successes over notable opponents, by marriage and by threat- ened divorce. He isn't’the same old Livermore butcher boy. He's gone and grown up. Though his clothing still inclines to- ward the hot-cha, so to speak, he’s definitely off the limousine standard and, withal, pretty serious about things in general. He weighs around 230 on the hoof, compared to a mere 202 of other fighting days, looks as big as & skinned mule and frankly believes he will knock Schmeling loose from his moorings. “I've got no money now and no worries,” he said in explaining his change of attitude. “All I want'is plenty of salt air to train in ahd & cl’filnce to hit that Dutchman with my = . AER'S new found confidence in him- self is excelled only by that of Jack * Dempsey, promoter of the ap- proaching scrap. The old Manassa mauler thinks Max, is a great one. “He's the biggest, best looking heavy- weight I ever saw,” declared Jack. “He can take punishment, fight all day and is the hardest right-hand puncher in the ring.” Just how much Jack thinks of his Beer-Schmeling duel is indicated by a “dare” he tbssed the other day at Jimmy Johnston, promoter for Madison Square Garden of the rival heavyweight attraction between Champion Jack Sharkey and Primo Carnera. “Tell you what,” said Dempsey. “Let’s match the winners of our two fights later in the Summer. If my man wins I take all the profits. If yours wins you get the gravy. Is it & deal?” Johnston had other important ‘busi- ss. WELSH AGAIN PRESIDENT Rockville A.
