A—16 SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TFRIDAY, JULY 5, 1935. SPORTS. Mrs. Moody Sees Donald Budge, Fiery Californian, as Coming Tennis Ruler < BILL AGEE ‘Winning for the sixth time the Independence day 10-mile race sponsored by the Municipal Playground Department and Takoma Park Citizens BY ROD THOMAS. OUNDING BILLY AGEE of Baltimore, one of the world’s greatest runners at distances from 1Q_to 15 miles, today set up his second Evening Star trophy, | major prize in the annual Independ- |ence day race sponsored by the Municipal Playground Department and Takoma Park Citizens’ Association. He won his third leg on it yester- day in competition with the finest field that ever ran in the seven-year- oid event, daddied by Dick Tennyson, assistant supervisor of playgrounds. But The Star trophy probably was the lesser of two awards received by Bill. The other was a plaque, given by Tennyson and presegted by Miss Sybil Baker, supervisor of playgrounds, for “ood sportsmanship and service to the game.” Tennyson had in mind the fact that Agee, out of condition, took a beuting last year from Pat Dengis raher than have the race run without a defending champion. Wilson Euns Second. GEE'S time of 56 minutes and 28 seconds was 1 minute and 7 sec- onds under the record for the event, cstablished by himself. In second place and running strongly was popular Bill Wilson of tne Meadowbrook Club of Philadel- phia. Wilson was nearly a minute behind Agee. | Third prize went to Mel Porter of the German-American Club of New | Washington Track and Field Club, who | finished eleventh. Kleinerman was the pace-setter for half of the route, with Agee, Wilson and Porter trailing in that order. Then Agee stepped to the front and steadily | pulled away. | Running conditions were not ideal, | but the time generally was fast, a fact attributed to the excellent service of the Emergency First Aid Corps, com- manded by Mrs. Charlotte Randall, which had four relief stations along the way and one at the finish. Mrs. Randall made the presentation of The Star Trophy and said nice things about Mrs. Agee’s boy. CRAWFORD CRAFT WINS Averages 38.7 Miles Per Hour in Hampton Regatta.

ITTLE GENE GOTT, 3d, and Ann Hathaway, less than 12 years old, were the two youngest winners of events held at Columbia Country Club when they won the 25-yard free-style races for children 12 years and under yesterday in a swimming meet carded especially for youngsters. ‘The next youngest boy to win was Conroy Dougherty, who triumphed in the same event held for those between the ages of 12 and 15.

In duplicating his recent triumph at | Atlantic City, Crawford flashed across the finish line just 3 seconds ahead | of Dr. Cecil Bagley, Baltimore, driving his Wilmer III.

ONDON, July 5.—Donald Budge peared before the startled eyes of the tennis followers of Eng- the West. He was not even vaguely known, and now he has definitely ranking players by going as far as the semi-final round of the men’s This shows what the Cailfornia courts will do for the learning of ten- surface brings on a player's game more quickly than any other. Also there all the year round outdoors. Players of the past from California tennis hall of fame. Three of the greatest names were McLoughlin, the latest wonder from the West, can- not be said to resemble exactly any of | tacular in the way McLoughlin was. | He does not seem to be reeling off Johnston. He does not appear to be banking tremendously on his serve, as | something from the games of two of these players. Budge Imperturbable. HE IS loose jointed and easy mov- ing in action, as Vines was on the court. Like Johnston, he is al- ways in position to take the ball as it rises and he is quick and makes the most of his opportunities. He prob- ably has little in common with Mc- Loughlin, except that his hair is red. Budge is Scotch. His father played foot ball in Scotland and later settled in California. Budge does not look | typically American or Scotch. He is just Budge — quiet, well-mannered, self-contained and apparently un- moved by the center courts at Wimble- | don or by anybody. He seems to know exactly what he is doing and, in spite | of his years, is the calmest person on the courts. His hair is as light red as can be without being blond and on overcast days he is a bright spot of California sunshine against the sub- | dued green of the English turf. Evidently his temperament is well suited to match play. He does not ! seem to be hurried, but remains cool in the more strenuous rallies and at the same time is making his head save his feet. When he is ahead he presses the | game and forces the play instead 0(" slowing up and playing cautiously. | This is especially the talent of cham- | pions—knowing when to put on speed. Has Great Backhand. | JEVERY ONE is remarking about his | wonderful backhand, which is done in an easy and flawless style, with scarcely any effort at all, This stroke is fast and travels low over the net. Its most remarkable quality, however, is concealment of direction. | The best players cannot seem to ue]l‘f where it is going until too late, and it | is equally efficacious down the line or | cross court. This stroke always looked to be a marvelous one on the asphall courts of California, but on grass here | it seems to be even more deadly. Budge’s service, because his action 1s graceful, does not appear as fast as it is, but it is easy to see it is con- stantly catching his opponent on the | wrong foot. On the forehand his | drive is all that can be desired—deep, fast and consistent. In fact, there is no terrifically outstanding part of Budge's game because it is evenly bal- anced—a game 1deally suited for match play and undoubtedly a game | that will be consistent over a period | of time. It is not a brand of tennis | that will have its “off” days very often. A word should be said of Budge's gense of anticipation and his timing | of strokes. He has that happy faculty | of being near the ball when it is re- turned, so that he does not appear to | onlookers to be moving rapidly. In‘ the timing of his strokes he reminds me of Johnston, who used to get the | best results with a minimum of effort. | As to Budge's future, he is more than likely to be the winner of all the | big events next season, for he is one | of those rare persons, a born tennis | player, and to all appearances a born champion. And a very popular one he will be because of his quiet manner on the courts, his youth and his likable personality. opyright. 1935, by the North American (oY wspaper Alliance. Inc.) | Rod and Stream 'HERE are times during the fishing season when fish will strike no metter which way the tide is flowing and regardless of weather conditions. Buch was the case Tuesday afternoon when Commissioner Frank T. Bell of the United States Bureau of Fisheries he ied a party of distinguished anglers to Solomons Island. They engaged one of Capt. Harry Woodburn's boats and were entrusted to the care of Capt. Dick Woodburn. Despite a rather un- even sea they made straight for Hoopers Island Light and there the fun commenced. The fish must have learned in some mysterious manner that they had the first fishermen of the country visiting them and gathered to extend a royal welcome. Fishing just 2% hours, the party landed more than 300 hardhead. Just to show the other members of the party that he was the right kind of an angler, the commissioner al- lowed J. L. Baity to land the largest hardhead and also the only sea trout that was caught. The commissioner and his friends fished from 5 to 7:30. Shrimp and peeler crabs were the bait used. Those with Commissioner Bell and Baity were Dr. M. D’'Arcy Magee, John P. Bramhall, George Underwood, H. Lee Barnes and Wallace McK. Stowell. KENWOOD BEACH BOATS MRS.
