HREE weeks of sizzling compe- | championships of Washington, Maryland, Virginia and the Metropolitan area will get under way ning of the seventh annual Evening Star tournament. Maryland’s flippers, primed by half will start the irons flying. Then will come in succession the Virginia, ‘Washington and Metropolitan events, survivors of the previous play and the defending champion, Clayton C.

Following are the dates: Maryland—July 15 and 16, Virginia—July 18 and 19, with entries closing July 16. Washington—July 22 and 23, 20. —Metropolitan—July 25 and 26.

Thompson at Falls Church and the Washington | and Metropolitan tournaments will be held on a municipal playground lay- out yet to be selected. It is likely that the courts beside the Tech High swimming pools, on which the District and Metropolitan events have been held for several years, will be aban- doned for a spot where more specta- tors may be accommodated com- fortably. Capacity gatherings have been the rule since the tournament first was held and the Metropolitan play-off has outgrown the old layout. Saunders Now Boss. ALL entries should be mailed or phoned to The Star sports de- parment, National 5000, branch 375. An entry blank will be published daily starting early this week. As in the past, the Virginia tourna- ment will be directed by the former State champion, George Thompson, but there will be a change in the management of the Washington event. Superintending this will be none other than Harry Fraser Saunders, former Metropolitan champion and present Washington titleholder, who | recently joined the staff of the Mu- nicipal Playground Department in the unique capacity of horseshoe in- structor. For the remainder of the Summer and probably throughout the Fall Saunders will tour the city’s numer- ous playgrounds, giving lessons to all who would have them—without cost. More to Come. TBE Star’s tournament, though cli- I* maxing the season, will not end it. Far from it. One of Saunders’ duties will be to promote two tournaments on every playground, one for grown- ups and one for boys 15 years old and under, with the winners to meet for the city playground championships. Although a title will be at stake, the playgrounds’ senior tournament will | be essentially a duffers’ affair. Any player who has reached an advanced stage of a major event in the past will not be permitted to compete, First-class courts will be installed on all grounds and shoes provided. Full details about the playground pitching will be published during the next several days. Next to The Star tournament, the annual invitation event, held in con- nection with the McLean, Va., carni- val, is of greatest interest to the ex- perts, the lads who bang an average of 50 or more per cent of their irons onto the stakes. This will be held July 31. Henry Huschke, in charge at Mc- Lean, is hard put to make his selec- tions. Heretofore 16 players have been invited to try for the valued McLean prizes, but this time Huschke may limit the field to eight. Tie for League Lead. N THE meantime, the struggle goes on apace in the all-star Metropol- itan Singles League, with those two brilliant rivals, Boo Henson and Harry Saunders tied for the lead with clean slates of six wins. Following are the league statistics and the schedule for this week: 3 Merryman . ’ [ 1 Saunders - This Week’s Schedule.

He will conduct regular classes at various grounds, a schedule to be announced later. Saunders also will organize tourna- ments on all municipal grounds and will assist in the management of The Evening Star champion- ships, which will get under way & week from tomorrow Saunders has had a hand in the development of most of the top- | notch horseshoe pitchers of the metropolitan area and also has proved himself adept to the teach- ing of golf, tennis and basket ball.

So Ed Linke was sent to the slab, and while Fatso is a charm- ing fellow and a good rassler, he is not much of a pitcher these days. | 8o the Yanks tied it up in the eighth. Back bounced the Griffs, though, in the ninth, to score another run when Cecil Travis singled across Johnny Stone, but prosperity is some- thing Linke cannot stand. With two out he pitched a double to Tony Laz- zeri, scoring Chapman and mnkxn31 it 6-6. | So it went into the tenth and then into the eleventh, with Linke stag- gering and Jimmy DeShong, who re- placed Gomez, doing much better. ‘Then, to open the eleventh, Linke walked Jess Hill and Rolfe sacrificed. With three balls and one strike on Gehrig, he was lifted for Burke. It was going from bad to worse. Bob completed the pass to Columbia Lou and then walked Tony Laszeri to force in a run. Finally Burke managed to get & ball over the plate and Myrl Hoag singled to score Chap- man and Gehrig and send Lazzeri to third, from where the Latin from Manhattan counted as Hoag stole second. That was the end, although Powell raised faint hopes by opening Wash- ington’s last raps with a double and racing unmolested to third. He scored on a grounder by Alan Strange, but that was all. HELPS INVICTORY » G4 PEAGOCK REPEATS WIN OVER OWENS Temple State Star in 100-Meter Race in Ontario. By the Associated Press. RYSTAL BEACH, Ontario, July 6.—Eulace Peacock, Temple U. colored star who startled the track world with a double victory over Jesse Owens ‘Thursday, demonstrated today it was no fluke when he flashed home in front of the Ohio State colored sprinter in the 100-meter dash, feature of the Buf- falo, N. Y., Police Club games, in & driving finish. Peacock allowed Owens to set the | pace for most of the distance and then flashed to the front in the 4nal 25 yards, crossing the finish line go- ing away with a burst of speed. The Temple sophomore’s time was 105 seconds, three-tenths of a second slower than the time he set Thurs- day at Lincoln, Nebr. in defeating Owens. The Lincoln time is better than the world's record, but its ac- ceptance is in doubt because & wind was blowing. Race Ruled Fair. T APPEARED that Peacock “el- bowed” Owens as they passed in ‘lhe stretch drive today, but officials ruled not. Owens did not object to | the ruling. Isaac Meadows of Michigan® State was a bad third in the race. Peacock’s Owens were in the broad jump and the 100-meter dash. Eddie O'Brien of Syracuse Univer- sity smashed the district record for 400 meters in a special event, doing the distance in 50 seconds, 4 seconds better than the old mark. Carl Roesch, Buffalo Y. M. C. A. star, offered O’Brien his only opposition, but faded in the stretch. Sawyer Scores in 200. OB SAWYER, captain-elect of the Pennsylvania track team, toppled another district record in a special 200-meter race, defeating Meadows, the Michigan State entry. Sawyer's time was 0:228. The old mark was 0:23.2. Joe McCluskey, former Fordham star, wilted in a special 1,000-meter race after holding the lead nearly ail the way, and Joe Mangan, former Cornellian running for the N. Y. A.

General admission to the arena will be only | 85 cents while tops will be $1.65. How- | ard Livingston, former District ref-| eree, who is matching and doing gen- eral managing for the Legion's new venture, figures the cut rates will make a paying gate. In Belloise, a New York golden gloves’ product, Livingston is bringing here a fighter generally rated fourth among the feathers. Mike has among his victories one over the highly re- garded Roger Bernard. He also turned back Petey Hayes and Pete De Grasse. Not so long ago Belloise gave Baby Arizmendi a great battle. Rivers' chief claim to fame here comes from his scraps with Petey Sar- ron. In them Joe sppealed to District fans, but he probably will find the go- ing much rougher when he encoun- ters Belloise. The New Yorker is a skilled boxer as well as a good puncher. That he mastered such a battler as Bernard shows he can cope with the best of them, Big Bout for Wilson.

Harry recently qualified as a challenger for Barney Ross’ welter title by getting a decision over Joe Rossi. And he once fought Ross to a draw.
