A—18 Lawson Little to Be Received at White House as Sport Good Will Emissary ks LINKS CHAMPION T0 DOCK SUNDAY Not Likely to Play Golf on Flying Visit—Looks to Armour Lessons. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. CHEDULED to land in New York on Sunday, after several months spent in Britain, where he successfully *defended his ¥ritish amateur golf championship W. Lawson Little, jr., world amateur king, is expected to make a ried trip to Washington on Mon- qay to receive the congratulationsand Sest wishes of the President of the United States on his record-smashing | achievements in golf. Little is the first American to win the British amateur title two years " in a row. He sailed from England on July 10 and is due in New York on Sunday. President Roosevelt, who used to be an ardent golfer before a severe iliness stopped his play, has been in- terested in Little since the burly| Californian won the American and | | | Perry, Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen British championships last year. Little is the son of an American Army colonel, and considering Little to be an American ambassador of good will in sport belween the two great golfing countries of the world, the President is represented as wishing to make some gesture to show his good feeling toward the California boy who is the Teigning amateur king of the game. Although President Roosevelt him- self does not play golf now, he has 1wo able proxies in “Steve” Early and Marvin H. McIntyre, two of his sec- retaries, who do their divot digging at Burning Tree. Not Setting Precedent. er'n.E, according to present plans, will come to Washington shortly after he lands in New York and will | be received by the President, who will | congratulate him on his links achieve- ments. Several other famous Ameri- can golfers have been received at the White House, among them the great Pobby Jones, who was received by Presidents Harding, Coolidge ana Hoover. “ President Hoover received Bob Jones in early September, 1930, after Jones had won three of the major links titles of the world and was on his way to winning the fourth (and his last) big championship at Philadel- phia, President Taft started it all ‘when he—an ardent golfer—received Chick Evars in 1912 shortly before Chick safled for England to play in the British championship. Evans also played several rounds of golf at Chevy Chase and Friendship with President Harding. From Washington Little will go to Chicago to place himself in the hands of Tommy Armour, the man who rtraightened out his iron shots and | converted him from another so-so golfer into the finest amateur stalking the golf courses of the world today. Lewson probably will spend several weeks in Chicago under the tutelage of Armour. It is doubtful if Little will play golf while in Washington. He probably will be here for only a few hours.

Briefly, Al claims that he is going to make an attemps to gather the American ‘and British team to play a match at Indian Spring. Well, if not the American team, the British team at least, Al gnused. We sug- gested that such a move might cost quite & little dough, but Al, with the incurable optimism of the born sales- man, laughed it right off. “We have a backer who is willing to put up the dough, and we think if we charged a gate fee we would come out on top," he said. “You know, the boys are in the game for a living and it might cost about $100 a man. That's about $1,600 and it would take a flock of customers to make that much dough i at the gate.” “Sure,” said Al, “but think of the rawing power bf Sam Parks, Alf and the rest of the boys if they | gather here to shoot for & little piece of money. Why, we should pull in $8,000.” What a man this Houghton is. You can whip lim down on the golf course, maybe. You can throw he still comes up with the right answer, But he will be biting off a mouthful if he tries to put on a match with both the Ryder Cup teams here.

WON'T know until he plays golf for a couple of ypars how lucky he was. He won't know that lots of good golfers, including Bobby Jones, went years without a hole in one. But you probably couldn't tell Stewart Dickinson of the Library of Congress that there is anything tough about this golf game, for Dickinson, in his first essay at the game, holed an ace. It happened down at East Poto- mac Park several days ago. His part- ner, Irving Swanson, handed him a No. 2 iron to play the 116-yard fourth hole at G cowrse. A 2 fron isn't ex- actly the club for 116 yards, but Swanson thought that perhaps Dick- inson might hit it as far as the green. by devious means, bouncing off a hummock or two, skidding up a foot- path until it found the green and rolling straight into the hole. Dickinson probably thought he had the game licked. If he is smart he never will play again. He might find out how hard a game golf can be-| come, even after he has played it for a long time. saliva samples to the New York State | sonnei of the United States team Racing Commission laboratory for which will play In the international analyzing.

He gave the 6-year-old a long rest.

D.” was probably the small- est caddy. Whenever young Dahlbender got into trouble he and “J. D.” would go into a huddle and figure out the best shot. The never-smiling, solemn-faced young colored boy would hoist the bag of clubs, which was almost as long as he, and plod down the fairway to take his position while his employer was taking a mean swing at the ball. Although the young Atlantan was driving them 200 yards, he fell before the consistent shoot- ing of W. W. Deantignac, a grown-up, 5 and 4. It was Gene's first tourney. ~—A. P. Photo.

NOAH HAZZARD was right. He told us recently that just as many and as large ha.dheads were being caught on the west side of the bay as across the water around Bloody Point Light, off Poplar Island and other places. We went to North Beach Wednesday and our catch con- firmed his claim. Herb Corn, his son Burt and myselt | were guests of Al Ketcham, who keeps a 48-foot cruiser in the creek near Deal, Md. Getting on the fish- ing grounds about 3:30 in the after- noon, we were rewarded from the outset, 125 being caught in a ‘short time. Later we anchored off the black buoy in Herring Bay and our luck continued. Little Burt Corn hooked such a big one he was forced to call on his father to help land it. JHARDHEAD, though, appear to be plentiful most places, Capt. Harry ‘Woodburn of Solomons Island advis- ing us that all boats loaded up Wed- nesday night with them, they being especially prevalent in the mouth of the Patuxent River. However, it is the advent of blues and sea trout in nearby waters that is interesting the anglers. Capt. Charlie Phillips of Hoopers Island has reported a school of blues cover- ing a wide area, big ones, too, break- 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR WABHINOTON defeated Red Fa- ber, Chicago’s pitching star in the first game of a double- header yesterday, 8 to 3, but lost to Eddie Cicotte, 12-5, in the nightcap. In winning, the Na- tionals got seven of their eight runs after two were out, in every instance the bases being empty when the rally started. Faber, the Chisox ace, has estab- lished a record by drawing his way to seven passes in a row. On his eighth trip to the plate, he worked Jones to a three-and-two count before flying out, but it ap- peared Umpire Wallace might have called the pitch which Faber hit a ball. L. I. Doyle and John Holmead played on the Holmead tennis team which defeated the Bureau of Standards Club yesterday, six out of eight matches. Other play- ers were Fischer, Bates, Lewis, Williams, Barber, Lothrop,. Ed- wards, Mueller, Hixon, Phelps, Cragoe, Wingfield and Dempsey. Aubrey D.

Sea trout were landed at Hoopers Islaad Light ‘Wednesday. Fishing less than two hours, a party headed by Harry L. Thompeon landed 330 nardhead Tuesday night at the | Gooses. All were caught during two | heavy Tain squalls. ‘There still is some fine fishing at Oregon Inlet, N. C., it is reported by | J. P. Stone, E. P. Wetzel and Elsie Bean, who recently fished at that place. They had no luck July 5 en account of bad weather, but the next | day they hooked two big drum and 13 channel bass. Japanese feathers and a No. 8 hook are the best lure. | GEORGE KNIGHT, at Leonardtown, tells us that, despite the water being muddied by recent rains, good catches are being made off Piney Point, Tall Timbers, in the mouth of Bretton's Bay and as far up as River Spring and Rock Point. Capt. C. F. Willoughby, at St. | Jerome's Creek, Ridge, Md., says there | are plenty of blues on Southwest Nid- | dles, but that storms have interfered | with the fishing. He also reports sea | trout as being landed at Point No | Point light. | According to A. H. G. Mears, at Wachapreague, Va. plenty of fish, large and small are being caught there—8-foot sharks, channel bass, 40 to 58 pounds; sea trout, porgies, flounders, etc., falling prey.
