SPORTS.’ T0 HAVE REAL FOES | IN DISTRICT PROS Houghton, on Home Course, | and Thorn Seem Sure to Press Noted Stars. /BY W. R. McCALLUM. ENE SARAZEN and Joe|$} Kirkwood, impresarios of | £ the long wallop and the lengthy pitch, holders be- tween them of three of the im- portant golf titles of the world, are due for a rude awakening if they have an idea that Washing- ton is another “tank town” into which they can go and knock off the local prides to the accompani- ment of thunderous applause from the awed populace. Gene and Joe, two of the great of contemporary golf, now touring the country under the colors of Henry L. Doherty and the Miami-Biltmore, in a de luxe auto bus, will appear at the Kenwood Golf and Country Club next Sunday in a charity exhibition match, under Community Chest auspices. All the money raised above expenses will go to unemployed relief in the National Capital. Against Sarazen, holder of the Ameri- can and British open titles, and Kirk- wood, the rejuvenated trick shot artist, who holds the North and South cham- pionship, will appear Al Houghton, Kenwood star and potential big-time winner, and Arthur B. Thorn, late of Woodmont, now attached to a driving course on Wisconsin avenue. Gene and Joe are no saps. They know that any small town in America can produce a golfer good enough to whip the best over his own course. 'HEY know that they will have to put on their best stuff at Kenwood on Sunday if they are to come home winners of this exhibition match. Both of them are great troupers and both have the game that will bring home the bacon in any competition they enter. But they will be up against a pair of lads geared to a high notch o! competition, who have been pointing for weeks with this match in mind. Houghton is the stand-out perform- er on the other side, the home pro who knows every kick and angle of his own layout and who wants to win to show the home folks that he can hold his own with the big shots cf the game. Thorn is one of golf’s dependables, & Jad who knocks ’em straight and far and who will always be in there with a par, giving Houghton a shot at a birdie. Some years ago Kirkwood made a remark to me that had in it the ear- marks of a truism. He was speaking about Larry Nabholtz, the sturdy lad who held down the professional berth at Lima, a little town in Ohio. Kirk- wood showed in Lima against Nabholtz, of whom he never had heard. They stepped out on the first tee and Larry made a crack something like this: “What do you want to play for? A hundred Nassau? Or a couple of hun- dred on the match?” It knocked Joe | off his feet. He never had heard of Nabholtz, but in the round which fol- lowed he saw a lot of him and his shots. “It proved to me,” said Joe, “that anywhere you go up and down the land, there is always some lad who can take you over his own course. Gene Sarazen saw this same Nabholtz perform a year or two later, for Larry knocked Gene out of his P. G. A. cham- picnship at French Lick in 1924. O it goes up and down the land. Arnywhere the big-timers go they can expect to find the local prides waiting for them with whetted clubs and sharpened putters, training their eyes on a goal—that of beating the great ones of the game. In this case 1t is Houghton and Thorn. Sarazen and Kirkwood will be the favorites, but before the winning putt raps against the back of the tin they will know they have been in a golf match. Kirk- wood will put on an exhibition of his trick shots at 2 p.m., to be followed by the match, starting at 2:30. Tickets are on sale at one dollar a copy, tax exempt. Incidentally, Gene has come to the fore with an offer entirely new to golf troupers. He has voluntarily agreed to give to the P. G. A. 10 per cent of his gross “take” on his tour, to go to the relief of unemployed golf profes- slonals, GEO. CHURCH LEAGUE W. Wash. Ba Grace 'Episco. Cov.-Pirst... Individual Averases.

Parks played No. 2 for Catholic Uni- versity, which won from the William and Mary lads by 5 to 1, and his finish was something to write home about. The tall lad needed a 3 to square the best ball match on the eighteenth. He got it. He needed a 3 to win on the nine-. teenth, and he got it. John Jankowski, top ranking C. U., linksman, downed the hitherto invincible Mortimer Jaffee, by 2and 1 Summaries: Jankowski (C. U.) defeated Jaffee (W.and M.), 2 and 1; Waters (W.andM.) defemd Parks (C. U.), 6 and 5.

FLAHERTY, one o( 1 Congressional’s “animal _game” stars, who has been in Georgetown Hospital for several weeks, visited the Congressional Club yesterday, marking the first time had been out since he was taken fll in March. Tom con- ducted an impromptu reception, with many of his friends shaking hands with him and wishing him well. Mrs. Alma von Steinner of Con- gressional, one of Washington's most consistent feminine golfers, winner of nearly every major event around Wash- ington, today has a second leg on the Keefer Trophy, donated by the former president of the Women'’s District Golf Association. R. McCALLUM, Mrs. von Steinner, who was runner- up for the local women’s title in 1927 put on a fine last round to nose out Mrs. Gilbert Hahn of Woodmont by a single stroke in the tourney at Chevy Chase. She scored an 88 in a wind to annex the trophy with a 36- hole net score of 162. Mrs. Hahn, who |leé over the first round, was next with ‘The gross scores of the winner were 94 and 88 for a gross total of 182. Her }u.udict.p was 10 strokes to each round. Mrs. Hahn added a score of 101 yesterday to her 94 of the first day for a gross total of 195. With a 32 handicap for the two days, her net score was 163. Mrs. von Steinner scored deuces on the short fourth hole in each of the two rounds. Other leaders were: Mrs. J. E. Davis, Army-Navy, 192— 28—164; Mrs. J. F. Gross, Indien Spring, 193—28—165; Mrs. A. E. Fischer, Beaver Dam, 197—32—165; Mrs. E. C. Schroedel, Manor, 193—26—167. Conso- lation—Mrs, las Tschiffely, Wash- ington, and Mrs. B. C. Hartig, Manor, tied at net 177. Mrs. J. M. Haynes of Columbia dis- played the most consistent game of all the women, scoring a brace of 86s to win the low gross prize with a total of 172. Gnmxmm of the mid-Atlantic <3 section held their monthly meet- ing vesterday at Annapolis Roads, with Prefldent Reginald Giddings pre- siding. The meeting followed an 18-hole handicap match. In addition to Gid- dings, officers of the association are: Bill Dunt, Sherwood Forest, vice pres- ident; Dick Scott, Rolling Road, secre- tary, and R. P. Hines, Manor Club, treasurer. Gene Sarazen and Joe Kirkwood, who will appear at Kenwood on Sunday, will put cn an exhibition at Annapolis Roads on Monday afternoon. Shadows of the Past BY I C. BRENNER. DOAK started out to pitch in semi-pro ranks in Pittsburgh back in 1909; and now you will find him down in Bradenton, Fla,, still throwing a ball occasionally. ‘The Florida boom hastened Doak’s retirement from the majors. He went into the real estate business down there and for a while pros- pered so well that base ball looked like a waste of time to him. When the bubble burst Willie tried to come back but it was too late. course, you remember Doak with the Brooklyn club.

Somewhere between 800 and 900 players, including all the leading stars of the game, had formaily signified their intention of competing when the dead- line was reached at 6 p.m. last night. Officials of the United States Golf As- sociation indicated that later entries also might be accepted, but even so, the total number was expected to fall short, h qups by nearly 200, of the 1,012 total last year. Except for the 30 players exempted by reason of their showing in the 1932 open, at Flushing, N. Y., all contestants will have to take their chances in the sectional qualifying round, to be played on 21 scattered courses throughout the country Monday, May 15. THE exempt list includes the British and American Open champlon, Gene Sarazen, and seven of his American Ryder Cup teammates as well as many other leading stars, but there still remain a number of top-flight golfers who will be forced to undergo the 36-hole qualifying test. Among these are Horton Smith, ninth member of the Ryder Cup team; Al and Abe Espinosa, Johnny Kolden, Joe Turnesa, Jim Barnes, Al Watrous, Bill Mehl- horn, Johnny Farrell, Willie Macfar- lane, Charley Guest and Willie Klein. Sarazen and his Ryder Cup mates, Walter Hagen, Leo Diegel, Olin Dutra, Paul Runyan, Denny Shute, Craig Wood and Ed Dudley, will go direct to the championship proper, to be played at Chicago, June 8, 9 and 10. Among the other 22 players ex- empted from the qualifying round are the amateurs, Johnny Goodman and Johnny Fischer, and luch leading pro- fessionals Cruickshank, Wiffy Cox, Bflly Burke, Harry Cooper, MacDonald Smith, Tom- my Armour, George von Elm and Charley Lacey. ANOTHER “LENGLEN” FOUND IN ENGLAND Sheila Hewitt, 18-Year-O0ld Ad- miral's Daughter, Seen as Future Champion. By the Assoclated Press. RITAIN has hopes that a real Eng- lish “Lenglen” has at last appeared on the tennis horizon. Miss Sheila Hewitt, 18-year-old daughter of Rear Admiral Hewitt, is considered by many the most promis- ing English lawn tennis player of post- War years. For the second time within M.I.u szm beut‘ll;\'lulfln he German nf 1931 in an important Ri en’s singles final. ‘The second triumph was achieved at Nice, when the fraulein was beaten, 6—4, 6—3. Unlike the great majority of English players, Miss Hewitt has hitherto re- frained from tournament play, prefer- ring intensive pflvate practice. Many English sports writers believe she would xivc even the redoubtable money, and predict the Wimbledon hxmtpumahIp as her ultimate attain- ment.

A Good 2 Hours’ Angling Job | |Janes Thinks Niblick Is Used Too Much and Sees Rare Need For It Except for High Pitch BY BOBBY JONES, who ever held the America: mate\i‘t, und "opeh_ championships, and. Brit: teur and open c! ampionship in one AVE su‘n{l:R!.AND formerly professional at a St. Louis club, now of Burbank, Calif, brings up & point concerning the average golfer. “What do you think of the nveme player’s use of the niblick?” asks “My observation is that it is u.led (nr too much when the front of the green is wide open and there is no real need | for it.” Certainly there are a number of times when the average golfer, or nny kind of a golfer for that mnter. save strokes by pla; the righs club and the right shot. Tne gulding thought should always be to select the club Lhn h eum to use, with which be played, and then to is a mistake to attempt a steep Ewh with backspin when there ample room for a normal shot. The more spectacular shot may be more satisfying when it comes off, but the average of reaftits will not be so good. Every requirement of timing, control and precision which we add tells in the long run against consistently good performance. Normally, it is not so easy to play| a niblick as it is some club with less‘ loft—at least, until the pitch becomes very short and the necessity for pitch- ing is definite. When the ball must be played over a bunker or other hazara, | 1t is easler to play a straightforward | shot with a niblick than to bring off a | trick effort with another club. But the | pitch over a bunker is certainly more | difficult than an ordinary pitch and run to a wide-open green. The man ‘who plkhfis up w the hole all the time, might just as well have a bunker in front of him. He does not know how to take advantage of his better posttion. Tm are two circumstances which | induce me to haul a niblick out of | the bag for use from a lie in the fairway. One is the necessity for| pitching over a bunker or other ob- struction, when I could not stop the shot with another club without play- mx & very delicate stroke. The other is a heavy lie from which I know the hnxlll will take an abnormal amount of rol Of course, the lie is always a cir- cumstance of importance when one is deciding how much roll to expect. The proper order of procedure is to visual- ize the shot. to determine where tne pitch must drop and how much roll it should have. Then to select the club and attempt the swing which will pro- duce this result. Always favor a straightforward shot, but go to a more lofted club only when the necessity for stopping the ball makes it necessary. (Copyright, 1933.)
