SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, MARCH 11, 1935. National Golf Champ’s Prodigious Toil Makes Him Good SPORTS. A—13 Bet to Stay on Top DUTRA HARD BENT IFOURBALL TEAMS ° ON HOLDING TITLE Practices Hours at a Time. Will Tour With Game’s Longest Hitter. HICAGO, March 11.—Olin Dutra, the giant don, who holds the national open golf championship, has serious in- tentions of retaining same when the 1935 contest over the rolling fairways of Oakmont is completed. Senor Dutra would like the championship another season, for the purpose of turning a few more odd dollars into the fami¥y till. In preparation for the defense of his hard-won title, Senor Dutra is spending his hours at practice. Dutra always has been an indefatigable worker at golf, and it is nothing to find him spending three or four hours at a stretch, belting every variety of shot down the fairways of the Brent- wood course. After going from driver to niblic, Dutra then is likely to spend a brisk half hour on the put- ting green. Practice Makes Perfect. UTRA owes his success to long | hours of practice. His first professional job was at a Fresno, : Calif., club, where he was everything from instructor to caddy master. Un- able to afford the expense of a caddy to chase practice balls, Dutra used to drive a hundred or so shots down the fairway, and then go down the meadow and hit them all back toward the tee. By dint of diligent practice, Dutra’s climb was rather rapid, for he started in the business of golf later than most of his fellows, hav- ing been a hardware store clerk in Monterey, after finishing up as a caddy. | Around the first of April, Dutra, in | company with Jimmy Thompson, the world’s longest hitter, will start an | exhibition tour which will carry him | through Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, | Jowa and other Midwestern States.| In New Frame Copyright, A.

REATER thrills on America’s store for 1935 as a result of the decision of the Contest Board of the American Automobile Association to completely revamp dirt track racing. The champion intends exhibiting his skill for the entertainment of the | public until & week or so before the National Open, when he will skip to| Oakmont and study the intricacies | of the tournament course, and there | is a course, by the way, which will | take a lot of studying. t Getting Much Distance. | QUST before the writer left Califor- J nia, Dutra was hitting his shots | better than any time in his ca- | reer. He was getting fine distance | with the woods and long irons, but it | was his deadly accuracy which wnsi most astonishing. | Few professionals have greater shot control than the big Spaniard, and | if he is fortunate enough to escape | fllness or injury, twin evils which have been plaguing him for the last two seasons, he will be a good bet to | retain the open title. Something | which few men have been able to do in our championships. Eastern Star os. H. Mil nity .. Mizpah Pleasant.. . | relative speed will be brought to- | | entry list. . The national governing body of the sport has ordered a reclassification of drivers, cars and tracks and on this move rests the promise of even closer competition than during 1934’s successful campaign. Under the new arrangement, cars of gether in various classes and drivers of like ability will comprise the auto racing speedways are in | and Picard Fail With Putter in Pinches. By the Assoclated Pre M ball tournament — something couldn't do yesteraay in a 36-hole match. For six long hours the survivors of three gruelling days of sub-par golf fought it out yesterday over the wind- swept Miami Country Club course, only to finish all square when Smith missed an 8-foot putt on the thirty- sixth hole. Revolta Blows Short Putt. HE draw was a heartbreaking climax for Picard, Hershey, Pa., professional, and Revolta of 3-up edge at the twenty-seventh hole and appeared headed for first prize money of $1,000 apiece. Then Revolta dubbed a 3%%-foot putt on the twenty-eighth and missed a chance to make the score 4-up. The gallery of some 2,000 onlookers sensed a change in the situation. Taking heart, Runyan, determined New Yorker, spanked his tee shot on the twenty-ninth to within a yard o | Prize moneys paid to drivers will be‘i materially affected by the reclassifi- | cation, with the purses being raised in | certain instances. Coast Not Affected. HE program as outlined by the Contest Board will affect every section of the United States, ex- | cept the Pacific Coast, where such a ! classification has been carried out | for several years. This “remodeling” process will have no bearing on the great 500-mile In- ternational Sweepstakes on the his- toric Indianapolis Motor Speedway next May 30. The $100,000 prize purse again will attract the Nation’s great- est drivers. The Contest Board definitely has refused to make any changes in the prize slip of national championship racing in taking its stand against cer- | | 7 | tain moves for a lower purse. Rather 5 | than a reduction, the Contest Board | 17| favors an increase, says Ted Allen, Individual Records. | (10 games or over.) BETHANY. Greevy Jones .

Aviat PLAYING OFF TIE Smith and Runyan, Revolta IAMI, Fla, March 11.—The weary Horton Smith-Paul Runyan and Henry Picard- Johnny Revolta golf teams were given 18 holes today to decide the winner of the international to;lxr- they Milwaukee. They had stroked out a| the pin and holed out for a deuce. A three was the best Picard-Revolta effort. ‘Then Smith of Chicago reached the thirty-first green in two and sank a 15-foot putt, leaving his team one down. Another Smith birdie on the thirty- fourth left the match even. They halved the thirty-fifth and the tour- nament went into a play-off when Smith’s effort to sink that all-impor- tant putt on the thirty-sixth was inches short. Straight Off Tee JOINT meeting of all first and second team captains of the ‘Women'’s District Golf Associa- tion will be held tomorrow at the home of Mrs. Theodore Peyser. The 1935 team match championship sched- ule will be drawn. The tentative tour- ney schedule and team lists will be submitted to the Executive Committee for approval March 25. June 7 has been set for the Herald Trophy tournament, a women'’s event, to be staged at the Kenwood Golf and Country Club, Frank G. Erskine has been elected president of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Golf Association, with Rudolph M. Bush, secretary, and Harlan C. Allen, treasurer. Herbert Grove Dorsey, jr, has been named chairman of the Tournament Commit- tee, with Thomas W. Kines, John R. Fitzgerald and Frank G. Borden as his_associates. Three tourneys will be held by the association the coming season at East Potomac Park, the first being slated for April 12. There will be an elimi- nation tourney for the Coast and Geodetic Trophy, won last year by Herbert Grove Dorsey, jr.

That’s the only way the boys can ex- plain his presence here. “He hasn't got a fast ball,” mused Rogers Hornsby, going into his detec- tive routine. “He hasn’t got a slow ball. to see his curve, and even then you think it might be the wind. He don’t seem to be much of a pitcher. He says he is a cousin to the Dean boys. He baffles me.” “Do you believe then,” inquired the interviewer, “that the person in ques- tion is a secret agent in the pay of the Dean family and other elements hostile to the welfare of your club?” “H'mm,” said Mr. Hornsby, looking like a combination of Sherlock Holmes, Philo Vance, Father Brown, and Lord Peter Wimsey. “H'mm.” Rajah Is Thoughtful. IS tone and manner were 80 fraught with meaning that the interviewer felt sure Mr. Horns- by had something on his mind. He never found out what it was, however, because at that moment the dinner bell rang and Mr. Hornsby lurched with feigned reluctance toward the dining room. | Federal Leagu COL. C. D.

It's possible that they will hustle themselves into & position somewhat above their normal rating. That's| what they did in 1934, at the expense of the White Sox and the crippled Senators. With Burns on first, Meillo at sec- ond, and Clift at third, the infield is just about ready to go. Hornsby has a slight problem at shortstop. He is torn between Al Strange, the recruit who performed so niftily last year, and Johnny Burnett. the semi-veteran from Cleveland. “Burnett is all right, a good in- fielder and a good hitter,” says the boss. “The trouble is that he never had a chance to work regular before. The same thing applies to Bob Wei- land, my new left-handed pitcher. They never gave Bob enough to do. I think he’s a real good pitcher.” Banks on Bell. HERE is a possibility that Hornsby will listen to the siren song of the cash box and sell or trade his star second baseman, Oscar Melil- lo, to another club. He doesn’t admit this, but, if it happens, the other club | is likely to be Boston, which is very | lame on the right side of the infield. It Melillo goes, Hornsby will be able to evolve a keystone combination from the talents of Strange, Burnett and Ollie Bejma (pronounced Bayma.)

He paid a lot of money for Beill. He expects a lot from him. If Bell comes through, and if Rollie Hemsley con- ducts himself like a gentleman this year, the Browns will be a good de- fensive team with a moderate punch. says the Ra- ah, “and you can't get mad at a guy with a disposition like he's got. He don’t resent it when I fine him for cutting up. He just asks how much the fine is and then goes out the next day and works his head off for the club.” In the pitching department, the Browns are pretty well fixed. Blae- holder, Paul Andrews, Newsom and Coffman figure to start it off. If Wei- land comes through with his portside delivery, as per advertisement, the staff will rank among the best in the league. The pitching was good last year. The hitting was mediocre.

Carr wrote that there is “a live and encouraging interest in the territory” covered by the proposed league and expressed the hope “to have the wheels in motion for the 1935 season.” He said the interested cities include | Salisbury, Cambridge, C:isfield, Eas- ton and Pocomoke City in Maryland, Dover in Delaware and Cape Charles and Parksley in Virginia. “From this group,” Carr asserted, “a substantial six or eight club league is proposed.” He pointed out that Mickey Coch- | rane, Jimmy Foxx, Leroy Parmelee, Paul Richards, Charles Ruffing, Clint Brown, Charles Fisher, Jimmy Jordan and Jake Flowers are some of the better known ball players who came from the Eastern Shore. ‘The old Eastern Shore League broke up nine years ago.
