SPORTS. Star Harriers in Line for Play, FELD S D0TTD | WITH CHAMPIONS Agee, Porter, Mundy, Miller Are Hot Rivals in Big Gallop Tomorrow. BY ROD THOMAS. HE champion, Pat Dengis of Baltimore, will forfeit his title but tomorrow’s gallop for the District 10-mile title, spon- sored by the playground department and Takoma Park Citizens’ Associa- tion, will contain the smartest field that ever went to post in the annual event, in quest of The Evening Star ‘Trophy. Heading the list will be Bill Agee, former national 15-mile and marathon champion and five times winner of the Independence day run here, He will Tepresent the Stonewall Democratic Club of Baltimore. His leading rivals will be Paul Mundy of the Nativity Club of Phila- delphia, former 10-mile titleholder, and Mel Porter of the German- American Club of New York, who has | held several national distance running | titles. He was a member of the Ger- man-American team that won top honors in the recent Evening Star marathon in which he finished secoad to Dengis, Baltimore Welshman. Agee Is Disappointed. ENGIS has trained little since win- ning The Star’s race and for that reason is not competing here tomor- row. He was offered a special trophy 1f he won, it being the hope of Dick Tennyson, manager of the event, to put on a great duel between Pat and Agee, who trailed the Welshman last year to Takoma. But Agee, disappointed in not hav- ing a crack at the only runner ever to beat him in the Playground-Takoma race, won't be without stiff competi- tion from his own city. In fact, ac- cording to Dengis, Bill may be ex- tended to the limit by Baltimore Bucky Miller, ho ran second to Agee a fort- night ago in an 8-mile gallop and more recently tied the Stonewall ace at 10 miles, but this appeared to be by Agee’s consent. “Miller right now is capable of run- ning a strong 10 miles,” says Dengis. The District A. A. U. championship | medal will go to the first Washington | runner to finish, and a hot duel for this is assured. The leading contenders, on their recent records, should be Fred De Mar of the Department of Labor, District marathon champ; Melvin Leach of the Public Parks police, former District 10-mile ruler, and Thurston Putnam and George Shorb of the Washington Track and Field Club, with a dark horse in Louis Siegel, & newcomer to the game. Team Battle Close. ‘EAMS have been entered by the German-American Club of New York, Stonewall Democratic Club of Baltimore, Washington Track and | Field Club, Shanahan Catholic Club | of Philadelphia, Congress Heights Boys’ Club, Meadowbrook Club of Philadelphia and Chester Pleasure Club of Baltimore. % A close struggle for team honors is expected among the German- Americans, Stonewalls and Meadow- brooks. ‘The start will be at 1 o'clock on the Mount Vernon boulevard near the railroad bridge, with the finish at the bathing pool across from the Takoma Park playground.

Washington and Baltimore swim- mers will renew an old rivalry tomor- row at Maryland Club Gardens in the open meet sponsored by the District ofs Columbia A. A. U. There will be events for men and women. Entries will be received until mid- night tonight. The meet tomorrow will start at 2:30 p.m. 1 Rod and Stream flounders and sting rays,” Newman Sudduth reported to us on his return from a trip to Southwest Middles Monday. Malcolm Major, one of his fishing companions said: “We struck our first school of blues between Point No Point Light and Northwest Mid- dles. All big ones, but we landed only three of them. I never have seen so many different species of fish. The water was very clear and we could see them swimming around about two or three feet under the surface, but they would not attack anything but a Japanese feather, and there was only one in our crowd. However, we did succeed in landing a number of channel-size hardhead, the largest I have ever seen. This was my first trip to these grounds, and it is the best fishing grounds in our sec- tion of the bay that I have visited.” Clayton Thom and Russell Entwistle also were in this party. Sunday night they made a trip out to Point No Point Light and caught a number of hardhead. Early Monday morning they made another start and fished at Northwest and Southwest Middles, being forced to return at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on account of black clouds approaching from all quarters. Now why is it that all these blues are seen and comparatively few caught? We think there are several causes. First, the blues still are spawning and therefore not seeking much food. When they feed they are taking their food from the bottom and are not seeking it when they appear on the surface. There have been times this season when fairly good catches were made, the largest re- ported to this colemn being 52. Then again the hot weather undoubtedly has had its affect on the fish. When seen on the surfgce they are either playing or feeding, and the majority of times this year they evidently have been playing. Talbott Denmead, chief of the black bass division and law enforcement officer of the United States Bureau of Fisheries said he was at a loss to account for the blues not striking, but was inclined to think our guess was right. These fish are on these grounds in large numbers, and when they start to feed on the surface, I hope I will be among the lucky anglers. . We received & report from the Sus- quehanna River stating this stream is clearing and that the rock are run- ning large. Fishing should be good there this week end. At Rock Hall hardhead are biting 8ood, 200 being landed on one trip. A few small rock also have been caught. Annapolis reports that extra good catches of hardhead and that fishing co:ltdmom appear good for the week en Capt. Robert E. Lee at Shady Side reports plenty of hardhead have been taken across the bay off Bloody Point Light and Poplar Island. For channel bass, king fish, trout, sea bass, etc, you can't go wrong fishing off Quinby, Va. according to Capt. L. 8. Corbin, and the same kind of a report reaches us from Cape Charles, Va., where channel bass, trout and blues are being landed. At Gloucester Point, Va., where the anglers fish off York Spit Light, re- ports state plenty of hardhead and sea trout and s few blues are being landed. KENWOOD BEACH BOATS From Kenwood Pier.

ONDON, July 3—It was the Donald Budge-Gottfried von Cramm match that drew the crowd thmough the portals of famous Wimbledon today. They were betting even money that the sensational redhead from Cali- fornia, lone American survivor in the men's singles, would turn back the steady German and reach the final, possibly with England's Fred Perry, in the All-English singles tennis champlonship. ’ Budge, who made English tennis experts take notice when he defeated H. W. (Bunny) Austin in the quarter finals, has won the hearts of the gal- lery as few Americans have done. Perry Playing Crawford. HE FACED Von Cramm in the center court, following the match of the English ace, Fred Perry, and Jack Crawford of Australia. Perry, de- fending champion, was favored to reach the final round. Before yesterday’s play was com- pleted, tennis fans had taken their places in line outside the box offices which didn’t open until this morning. ‘They were joined by hundreds of others during the night, some dozing on camp chairs, others talking tennis to while away the damp night hours. Peaturing yesterday's play was the defeat of Dorothy Round of England, defending champion, by Joan Harti- gan of Australia. Miss Hartigan used & forehand stroke almost exclusively to down the favorite, 4—6, 6—4, 6—3. - TRAINER IS SUSPENDED Ditzer Charged With Being Pro- fane to Track Officials. CHARLES TOWN, W.

WANTS TILT TOMORROW. Burroughs A. C. wants & ball game | tomorrow. Call North 7848-W. BY BILL DISMER, JR. ELL, we won't have much longer to lock at what the doctor ordered for sore es. ‘Those :tymcuva tennis matches which started last Saturday, when the girls began the District tourna- ment, are ending all too soon this very afternoon, It seems as if scme of the girls are dated up, or scmething, for the holiday tomorrow, so the officiais de- cided to play the finals in both singles and doubles today. Two girls, the class of the tcurna- ment, will fight it out for each cham- pionship. Sara Moore, City of Wash- ington champion, and Mary Cootes of Alexandria, recently crowned cham- pion of the Old Dominion, are final- ists in both classes. They will meet for the singles title at 2:30 and shortly after the ending of that match will oppose in the doubles. For partner, the local lass has Dorette Miller, whi.c Mary is teamed with Bobsy Turney. Anc both needed extremely good partners to win yes- terday against stubborn foes. Real Battle in Doubles. FOR quite a while yesterday it seemed as 1f the pair of Frances Bassett and Mary Ryan was sure to be the ones to meet Sara MMoore and Dorette Miler, who had fnished two long sets against Eleanor Craven and Betty Kronman. The Bassett-Ryan combination, playing the deciding set of their match with Bobsy and Mary, were leading, 4-1 and 40-love, in the sixth game. But then something hap- pened. The Misses Cootes and Tur- ney unexpectedly begah slamming the ball around to halt the onrush of their foes and they never quit slam- ming until they had annexed the next five games. The powerful services of Miss Cootes and the all-around-the- court gallivanting of Bobsy began to pay dividends, and soon the match was over. Two of those who will face across the nets again today met in one of the singles semi-finals yesterday when Miss Moore routed Miss Turney, 5—1, 6—3. In the other semi-finals battle of the Marys—Cootes and Ryan —~the former experienced just a little stiffer opposition in winning, 6—4, 6—3. Miss Cootes Formidable. IP ‘WE seemed to imply yesterday that the tournament championship might prove “ple” for Sara Moore, it was only because we had not ob- served Mary Cootes in action long enough to gain an accurate appraisal. This young Smith College graduate, who early this year won the Old Do- minion championship in Richmond, showed about just as much energy in her play as has been exhibited by any 'OWS Vintage know where Vintage tobacco is -au‘\'du-ndb-ydmmolh. say Grade A Vintage tobacco.

Her service Is severe, her backhand good, though not as strong as that of Dorette Mil- ler, who possibly possesses the best in the tournament, and she covers the court well. 1t should be a great match today.
