SPORTS. < PUTS 60 PER CENT OF SHOES ON PEG Sanders, Vonder Bruegge ! Trail Terp in Finals of Star Tourney. OLPH TEMPLE JARRELL, University of Maryland sen- for, today owned the distinc- tion of being the first District intercollegiate horseshoe champion. In the finals of a tournament spon- sored by The Star, Jarrell yesterday defeated a college mate, Joe Sanders, and Henry Vonder Bruegge of George Washington, better known as a foot ball star, Jarrell scored a grand slam in the three-man play-off, taking two games from each of his rivals. Sanders blanked Vonder Bruegge, but the goose egg beside the hefty Colonial's name in no wise was humiliating. He was beaten by Sanders 50-49 and 50-45, missing ringer after ringer by &kimpy fractions of an inch. The final standing was: Jarrell . Sanders Vonder Bruegge . I ‘Whalin, University of Maryland titleholder, 50—37, 50—22; Sanders defeated Red Rathjen of George ‘Washington, 50—18, 50—16, and Von- der Bruegge defeated Charley Oland of Maryland, 50—39, 50—35. In the finals, Jarrell defeated Von- der Bruegge, 50—36, 50—21, and San- ders, 50—6, 50—1, and Sanders de- feated Vonder Bruegge, 50—49, 50—45. Jarrell averaged about 60 per cent ringers throughout. In his second game with Sanders he opened with eight straight ringers, missed one then strung another eight, giving him 17 out of 18 pitches. ‘Twenty-four players, four each from Maryland, George ‘Washington, Georgetown, Catholic University, American University and Gallaudet, took part in the tournament. Jarrell's performance marked him a5 a formidable contender for the Metropolitan Washington title, to be at stake in The Star's annual tourna- ment late this Summer.

Grant Sparkles. By the Associated Press. EXICO, D. F.,, May 18.—One vic- | tory stood today between the United States Davis Cup tennis team and a trip to Europe. Straight-set victories by Bryan| Grant and Donald Budge in the open- ing singles matches of the American zone finals with Mexico yesterday left | the United States needing only to win the doubles today to qualify for the interzone finals, which will be | played at Wimbledon later in the‘ Summer. To snare that triumph, Walter L. Pate, non-playing captain, sent out Budge and Gene Mako, the California doubles combination, against Jose Lilano and Alfonso Unda. Budge and Mako were prohibitive favorites to win the match and with it, the series. Grant at top form in his match with Esteban Reyes in singles yester- day, won decisively at 6—2, 6—3, 6—3. Budge had a stiffer fight on his hands to down Daniel Hernandez, but nevertheless triumphed in straight sets, 6—4, 6—4, 6—4. e RICE STARS ON HILL Holds Gaithersburg to Two Hits as Georgetown Prep Wins. ‘With Lloyd Rice allowing only two hits, Georgetown Prep defeated Gaith- ersburg High School, 8-1, yesterday at Gaithersburg. Rice, pitching for the Little Hoyas, allowed only four men to reach first base, one by an error, and he fanned 11.

Then to finally bar the door to any hope of a Dettweiler rally, he knocked in a 15-foot putt for a bird 3 on the tenth to go 7 up. Billy himself birdied the eleventh to win his only hole, but it was too late, for Greene flung a spade shot 10 feet from the hole at the twelfth and the putt for the bird went in as’if it had eyes.

We have seen some good golf in the final round of Chevy Chase tournaments, but never before has such unerring accuracy, and such re- lentless bearing on par been shown before.

The decision was made yesterday at a meeting of the three commis- sioners, Maj. Ernest Brown, Fred Buchholz and Maj. Lucian Vandoren, chairman of the local Boxing Board. Maj. Vandoren, who was instrumental in drawing up Washington's ring code, was the leader in the stand that the Shriners’ big lightweight bout not be exempt from the commission's wout” The commission, one of the few in the country that is able to show a ledger in black ink, is expected to collect anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 as its share of the Canzoneri-Klick “gate.” Members of the Shrine Box- ing Committee are confident the fight will draw approximately $60,000. ERT GALLIA is the pitching choice of the Washington team today against the St. Louis Browns. Walter Johnson hurled the Na- tionals to a 3-2 win yesterday over the Browns.

There is some feeling that the dis- tance is a bit too long for Beccali but it shouldn't be, rating him off his Olympic and subsequent performances over the metric routes. He has a stretch “kick” that rivals anything the other middle distance stars have shown. Lovelock, the Oxonian who beat Bonthron in a memorable world rec- ord mile at Princeton in July, 1933, is due the first week in June from Eng- land. Borthron, who graduated a year ago from Princeton, is devoting his week ends to a thorcugh program of training at his alma mater. Cun- ningham is keeping in shape at the University of Iowa and can be de- pended upon to put up a brisk de- fense of hi= hold on the world record, 4:06.7.

He and Morriss beth have been clocked in 14.4 or better for the distance. Beard's mark is 14.2. Bushnell has not yet persuaded Ben Eastman to make another at- tempt to lower the half-mile record, which the former Stanford star sliced to 1:49.8 at Princeton last June, but Bill Graber will be on from Southern California to meet Yale's Keith Brown in the pole vault.

ANNE'S-ON-THE-SEA, Eng- land, May 18.—Leading Simon- pures from the United States, France and the empire were gathered in this little Lancashire town today, putting the final touches to their golfing equipment in prepara- tion for the British amateur cham- plonship, beginning Monday. Numerically the American chal- lenge will be as strong as it ever has been but as a matter of cold fact, pre- tournament indications are that Law- son Little, husky Californian, defend- ing the title he won a year ago at Prestwick, will have to shoulder the United States’ hopes almost all by himself. Little is the only outstanding golfer of the American contingent of 13, although such players as Dick Chap- man of Greenwich, Conn,, and Tom- my Tailer of Piping Rock, N. Y., may cause some trouble to the ‘home-breds. McLean Is Formidable. OUNDING out the American chal- R lenge will be Robert A. Strana- han of Toledo, Ohio; Guy Hayes, North Andover, Mass.; John H. Fors- man, New York; Dan Topping, Green- wich, Conn., millionaire owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National Pro- fessional Foot Ball League; Robert Barbour of Paterson, N. J.; Harvey Shaffer of New York; Robert Knowles of Brookline, Mass.; Capt. A. Bullock- Webster of Monterey Park, Calif., and the transplanted Robert Sweeney and Douglas Grant. Sweeney, formerly of New York, and Grant, & native of California, live in England. The experts foresee the possibility of an international final between Lit- tle and Jock McLean, the talented Scotsman. Both, however, will have & hard fight to get that far. Little's bracket includes the former cham- pions, Cyril Tolley and Eric Martin- Smith, as well as Leslie Garnett, who gave him such & tussle in the lem! finals last year; Leonard Crawley, H. G. Bentley and T. A. Bourn. In McLean's half will be the for- mer champions, John De Forest and the Hon. Michael Scott, as well as Tailer, Ross Somerville, the Canadian star, who won the American title in 1932, and Lionel Munn, ex-Walker Cup player. @. U. RACKETERS WIN.

The intercollegiate championship, at Congressional late in June, and the Southern Golf Asso- ciation title tourney, at Richmond in mid-June, also are scheduled, but these tourneys are open only to a limited number of Washington golfers, so the Manor affair really marks the end of the local tournament trail for the great bulk of the sod-wallopers around the Capital. Field Nearing 300, ITH an entry list that already is close to the 300 mark, the Manor tournament will be the biggest and perhaps the best of all the club events to be played around Wash- ington during 1935. Harry Pitt, the Manor Moose, will be the big shot of the tourney, as he has been since J. Webster Manring first put up the chief trophy back in 1929. Harry now holds the Manning Cup and this year Roger Peacock—his chief rival—will not be a starter, for Roger is so busy with club affairs at Indian Spring, where he is the club secretary, that it looks as if the Peacock man will be out, leaving Harry as the player the lads must beat. Entries for the Manor affair closed last night, but post-en- tries were being received today for the ‘pairings to be made by Ralph Gibson and his Tournament Committee to- night. Quite a flock of our more eminent linksmen are planning the Virg: ia Beach trip in June to take in the mid- dle Atlantic, where the boys at Prin- cess Anne always put on a good show with Virginia trimmings. And, by the way, when is a local man going to win the Middle Atlantic? Not one of them has turned the trick since Harry Pitt won at Congressional in 1928. Both Harry and Roger Peacock have gottea to the final since that time, but nary & sectional crown has come their way. Both of them probably will be at Vire ginia Beach trying to strip the crown from the capable head of young Bob- by Riegel, the lithe young Richmond lad who won at Hot Springs last year. The reason Roger Peacock withdrew from the Chevy Chase tournament and probably won't play at Manor is that Roger has been busy scouting around the Government departments | securing new members for the Indian Spring Club. The young man has been as busy as a bee and has pro- duced a flock of potential members. —_— local ring commission, will be and Buck Everett clash over a sched- uled 10-round route at Griffith Sta- dium. But Everett, not Brown, will be wearing the mythical crown when they enter the ring.

ROWN'S title was not advertised as at stake when they fought the first time, chiefly because the boxing commission felt such momen- tous crowns should be decided in rounds. But yesterday, when Turner was preparing his billboards for the re- turn match and placed the heading, “District heavyweight champion” over Brown’s name, there was a commotion. Erwin, on the scene, declared that Brown was no more champion than he was and rushed over to the com- mission’s office for a showdown. After due deliberation, the solons— Maj. Lucian Vandoren, Maj. Ernest Brown and Fred Buchholz—decided that since Everett defeated Brown in their previous match then Everett was the champeen. They also declared that since Brown lost his crown in a 10- round bout he should get a chance to win it back over the same distance. Hence the May 27 affair will be for the title, which, with a nickel, will gain the possessor a cup of coffee or a couple of “sinkers.” “In the future, however, it may be necessary for boxers to meet over a 15-round stretch to decide local titles,” declared Maj. Vandoren, chairman of the boxing board. “The commission is considering the addition of such a clause.” _— TECH FAVORED IN MEET Tech High School, favored today in the seventeenth annual “C” Club track and field meet at Central Sta- dium, was expected to meet the cream 1 of local and nearby States scholastic runners and weight men before carry- ing off the honors. Although most of the records seemed to be in no danger of falling, Eddie Miller, lanky Eastern High School high jumper, was conceded a fine chance of toppling that mark. The record of 6 feet 15 inches was bet- tered last week by Miller when he leaped 6 feet 21 inches against Tome Institute at Port Deposit, Md. The 100-yard dash, with 31 sprinters entered, was expected to be the best race of the meet, although Prank Hus- sey’s mark of 9.7 was not felt to be in danger. Five of the century men, however, have raced the distance in 10 seconds flat previously this year. ‘The games were to get under way ap 1 o'clock.
