SPORTS. - Kenwood Plans Big Blowo PROS AND SCRIBES T0 JOIN IN PARTY Janney Girl of Baltimore Is Section’s Best Slugger, McLeod Asserts. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ENWOOD is planning quite & blowout next Monday for the | jonals in this area and | idea being to put, as the boys say, the arm on Wiffy Cox, the well known | Brooklynite who knows what to do| when the boys shove a fist at hi Wiffy is the new pro at Kenwood, and he is to be initiated at the jam- boree on Monday by a flock of pars and birdies to be shoved in his direc- tion by the fellows with whom he will do most of his friendly gambling over the next year or so. All the lads from the entire area will gather at Ken- wood Monday to play golf with Wiffy and later to stick their feet under one of Kenwood's best tablecloths for dinner. It's a good gesture and should | get the transplanted Brooklynite away to & flying start in his next venture. | The pros will have a little golf tournament among themselves, the newspaper men will show how golf shouldn't be played and every one will have a good time, so the Ken- wood folks tell us. Weaken After Tee Shot. JUST how far does long hitting get a girl in golf? We have in this town Helen Dettweiler, the blond Congressional miss who pokes ‘em a mile and who probably is the longest hitter of all the lassies who push golf balls around the local courses. We have Mrs. Leo Walper and Betty Meckley, both of whom can maul a golf ball fairly far. We have Louise Claytor of Chevy Chase, a girl with & grand golf swing and the ability to park the ball out there in the great open spaces. But of all the long hitters among | the women in this territory a Balti- | more girl takes the crown, according to Fred McLeod. The girl is Eliza- | beth Janney of the Green Spring Val- ley Club of Baltimore. Now, Miss Janney is a fine player from the tee. She wallops them a long way, like | Babe Didrickson, but quite apparently | she hasn't learned what to do with | the ball after the tee shot. Miss Janney, cespite her lengthy hitting | from the tee, hasn't yet won anything important in women’s golf. “How do you judge her length from the tee?” we asked Freddie. “I gave her a lesson out on Lunatic | Hill one day,” Freddie said. “You| know Lunatic Hill, out there at Co- lumbia? John McInern named it that because it made lunatics out of normal people. Well, Lunatic Hill is about 240 yards from the hedges along the Connecticut avenue sidewalk. | Miss Janney poked out a couple of | wooden club shots that ended up in that hedge. And they didn’t jump | in the hedge at the end of their run | either. They hopped in on the first or second bounce. That's how far she can hit ’em. Boy, if she had a good short game she would give the Test of the women a flock of duck- | fits.” KING SAXON IN BUTLER Ace Miler, Sound Again, to Re- new Duel With Discovery. NEW YORK, July 13 () —King Saxon, ace of the turf milers, which was painfully injured three weeks ago in the Brookivn Handicap at | Acqueduct, sought revenge today as he returned to action against Dis- | covery, Top Row and three others in the $10,000 Butler Handicap at Em- pire City. Although assigned 132 pounds, | 8 more than the King and 16 more | than Top Row, Discovery was the 6-to-5 choice with King Saxon held at 3 to 1 and Top Row 13 to 5. Also named were Willlam Woodward's Vicar, Mrs. Dodge Sloane’s Good Goods and Mrs. Deering Howe's Only One. MERIDIANS AFTER FOE.

Harry has played very little golf this year, but the Manor “moose” isn't dismayed by his failure to win a tournament dl“fl the Spring campaign. Over | Norcross ~ Tilney, | in the matches one week from today, | GREAT | Duvall-Mansfield Duel at Glen T OFTF THE TEE R.MECALLUM golf course. A round like that during pull a round or two like that during tomorrow in an informal match with THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, IRING on the District tennis front is to be heard on four sectors here today, while a I faint rumble descends from Brookline, Mass. Gilbert Hunt, the only District of Columbia net man now left in com- petition out of the city, was to meet Princeton’s 1935 Easter intercollegiate champion, in the semi-finals of the Longwood Bowl tournament, being held up in the Bay State. How stern Hunt’s opposition will be is gathered from yesterday’s re- sults. Tilney trounced Guy Cheng, a member of the Chinese Davis Cup team, in straight sets, allowing his illustrious foe one, two and three games, respectively, in the three sets played. Meanwhile Hunt was forced to play a bit longer in disposing of John Hill of Waco, Tex., 10—8, 6—4, 6—2. LOCALLY, net interest is focused almost entirely on team play. Out at Columbia the Washington ten- nis team is to meet the Army Leech Cup team at 2 o'clock. Just last Sun- day the Capital stars took the_ meas- ure of the Navy team, which will play and they are out to make it unani- mous over the services. Of course, the Public Parks League has its weekly schedule for this aft- ernoon, with Monument playing at Rock Creek and Potomac at Mont- rose. Principal interest will be cen- tered on the latter match, in which Montrose will try to go into second place, now held by Potomac by a| margin of one match. Out at Argyle Country Club the team of that club will face Lakeview | in a Suburban League match. In first-round play these two teams ob- tained results contrasting to the ex- treme. Argyle won all but one of its seven matches, while Lakeview could win but one. Lucille McDowell and Barbara Boose, co-favorites to reach the finals of the playground tennis tournament, quarter-finals of which are expected to be played Monday, swept on yes- terday as they have been doing all week. Playing on her home courts at Takoma, Miss Boose was forced three sets to turn back Mildred Ken- more of Phillips Playground, 6—4, 4—6, 6—2, but Miss McDowell had an easler time in eliminating Dorls Kramer of Hoover, 6—1, 6—0, on the Rosedale courts, Other matches resulted in a vic- tory for Mary Hunter of Geargetown over Hilda Thompson, 6—1, 6—2, and a triumph for Eileen Lennon, who defeated Irma Ludwig, 6—3, 6—2. THE hapless Federal Power Com- mission netmen, who have been able to win only three matches out of 30 in the Departmental League, lost five more yesterday when they were whitewashed by the Agriculture squad. The results: Barroda and Brown defeated Davenport and Garnett, 6—2, 6—3; Martin and Steinhauser defeated Wellwood and Anderson, 6—1, 6—4; Hoffecker and Fleming defeated Dewey and Kaufman, 6—2, 6—1; Sherman and Royal defeated | A Alamus and Jones, 6—1, 6—4; Byrd and Chase defeated Roland and Dimmott, 6—2, 7—5. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR VWALTER JOHNSON rescued Jim Shaw in the eighth inning yesterday to hold Washington's Jead which beat Chicago, 5 to 3. Entering the game with two out, the bases full and two balls on Fournier, Johnson forced the bat- ter to pop to Shanks and then retired the side in order the fol- lowing frame on six pitched balls. Brooklyn fans are going base ball crazy, more than 55000 having seen the games at Ebbets Field last week. The Dodgers are in fourth place, just two games be- hind the league-leading Cubs. Only 8': games separate the last-place Braves from the top. Cleveland rests in the American League cellar, 22 games behind the leading White Sox. There was a rumor that George Stovall would return to manage the Indlans, replacing Harry Davis. Immanuel barely won from Cen- tral in the Northwest Sunday School League, 8 to 7. Central did much better work than usual both at bat and in the fleld.. The batting of Lehman and the field- ing of Trimble, at shortstop, were notable. = George Mogridge, the tall south- paw for whom the Yanks paid the tidy sum of $5,500, will have his third chance in fast company. He has been up twice previously with Chicago. —e DIVERS COMPETE | Echo Promises Thrills. A superb diving attraction will be offered at Glen Echo Monday night when Marie Duvall and Marian Mans- field will exhibit their specialties in events which have brought them wide acclaim in the realm of aquatics. Leaders in the feminine diving world, the pair promise a great battle for supremacy. District Champion Duvall must be at her best to outpoint the 18-year-old Chicago mermaid, who placed second in the senior national indoor meet at Chicago last year. Marian now is on her way to Man- hattan Beach, N. Y., where she will compete in the senior national cham- pionships next Thursday. o POLICE BOYS READY. With a diamond at its disposal, the No. 5 Precinct Police Boys' Club wants a game with a junior or un- limited team tomorrow at 1 p.m. Call No. 5 precinct. the last week and despite the hot weather Harry has played several rounds of golf and he has yet to go over 73 for the Manor Club course. A streak of golf like that at Indian Spring next month would put him up there among the qualifiers who will go to Cleveland in September, ‘Wiffy Cox, the Kenwood pro, seems just about ready to take up where Al Houghton left off in the business of busting par for the River road course. Wifly played a round of golf at Ken- wood yesterday and he didn’t do any- thing but whack himself out a 69, which is one better than par for the the National Capital open would’ be worth a considerable slice of dough, and probably now that Wiffy is getting onto the tricks of the course he may the forthcoming tourney. were 35 and 34. Wiffy is due to play at Kenwood His nines Roland MacKenzie of Congressional. He will play at Congressional on Sun- day, July 21, in a match with Mac- Kenzie, Bob Barnett and Fred McLeod. NEW women's record for the Con- gressional course today stands to the credit of long-hitting Helen Dett- weiler, the District girl's title holder. Helen shot an 81 yesterday in a tour- ney staged by the woman golfers of Congressional, playing the nines in 43 and 38. Many a man would be proud of a score like that. The blind bogey tourney was won by Mrs. J. F. Dow- dall, who scored a 91 and was helped by a 7 handicap. The prize for the least number of putts went to Mrs. W. R. Bush, who used only 33 putts. At Manor Mrs. J. W. Cramer and Mrs. Harvey J. Cooper tied for first FURR WILL FIGHT T0 REGAIN FAVOR Works Briskly for Tilt on| Dublinsky-Wilson Card Here Monday. HIL FURR will be looking for more than victory at the ball yard Monday night as he bat- tles in a supporting bout of the | Harry Dublinsky-Bobby Wilson high spot of the Turner-Ahearn boxing bill. Not only will the District welter champ be out to subdue Frankie Blair, the Jersey jouster, but also to regain prestige lost in the recent defeat at the hands of Tony Rock. That beating by Rock here nearly | two weeks ago led District fight fol-| lowers to believe that Furr was ready to be shelved so far as topline boxing | was concerned. But the set-back failed to convince Furr that he was| “through.” Nor did Phil look so yes- terday as he went through two torrid training rounds with Dublinsky. At the finish of the second heat, both boxers were happy to call it quits. Dublinsky had gone through four! rounds before facing Furr, getting the | workcut at the expense of Paris Apice | and Mickey Landis. The Chicago boy | who ranks high among the welters of | the Nation looked as if he would be in fine fettle for his 10-round effort Monday. ‘Wilson also went through a speedy six-round workout yesterday, paying much attention to the grooming of his left hook, which has won him the favor of Capital fans. Thirty-six rounds of boxing are| booked for the show next week. In| addition to the main go and the six- round special between Furr and Blair there will be two other six-rounders and two four-round engagements. Minor Leagues International.

ONTHILL, Ontario, July 13.— Shotmakers from across the border today held the leading position in the General Brock Hotel open golf tournament as the play went into the final 36 holes. Ray Mangrum of Pittsburgh and Byron Nelson of Ridgewood, N. J., with cards of 143 for the first half of the tournament, were leading the parade toward the $1,000 first prize money, but such stars as Walter Hagen, Denny Shute of Chicago, Tony Ma- nero of Greensboro, N. C., and Clar- ence Doser of Rochester, N. Y., wers close on their heels. Hagen missed tying Mangrum and Nelson by one inch. He needed a par 4 on the eighteenth yesterday to draw abreast and missed a 20-foot putt. His second shot had found a bunker, but he blasted to within 20 feet of he pin. The usual large crowd was following “The Haig” and he turned in one of his bits of show- manship here. He strode to the ball and taking but brief aim, hit it toward the hole. As it paused an inch from the lip he grinned, walked to it and painstakingly measured the shot, be- fore poking it in from one inch. HIGH wind kept scores up in yes- terday’s play and the closest to a 70 par was Henry Picard’s 71. The big Hershey, Pa., pro, however, was five strokes away from the leaders in total points. Mangrum, who tled for fourth place with Shute in the United States open, found the road a little more rocky yesterday than he did the day before when he turned in a 69. Yester- day he took 39 blows going out, com- ing in in 35. Doser was one stroke behind Hagen with a 145 and Manero and Shute followed him with 146 each. Canada’s best bid came from her amateurs. Jack Cameron of the Lookout Point Club, that is host to the tournament, and Joe Thompson, Burlington star, had totals of 147, GERMANS FAVORED OVER CZECH NETMEN Seen Stronger for Singles Play in Davis Cup Test—Expected to Lose Doubles. By the Associated Press. PRAHA, July 13.— Czechoslovakia was expected to defeat Germany in the doubles play of the Davis Cup | European zone finals today, but Ger- many’s strong singles players were calculated to earn that country the right to oppose the United States in the interzone play a week from today. Roderich Menzel and Josef Malacek were slated to uphold the Czech colors in the doubles against Hans Denker and K. Lund, with Baron Gottfried von Cramm a possible substitute for either of the Germans. The betting leaned to the Germans yesterday when Heiner Henkel, al- though beaten by Menzel, turned in a sensational performance that bade ill for Jon Caska, his slated opponent in the sfngles Sunday. Should Henkel defeat Caska it practically would as- | sure victory for Germany because Von Cramm, who reached the finals of the all-England play with Fred Perry, was counted & sure winner over Menzel. Von Oramm loafed to an easy vic- tory over Caska yesterday, 6—2, 6—4, 6—2, having the play in hand at all stages. Henkel, who is only 19, car- ried Menzel, No. 1 ranking Czech, to five sets and came very close to snatching victory from the veteran. Menzel won after a bitter battle, 7—S5, 6—1, 4—6, 2—86, 6—4. CHESS STA.R REPEATS Hernandez, Tampa, Takes South- ern Title Third Year in Row. KNOXVILLE, Tenn,, July 13 (#).— Nestor Hernandez, Tampa, Fla., chess star, won the championship at the annual Southern Chess Association tournament here. It was his third straight year to win the title and his eighth victory since the tournament began 14 years ago. He had a percentage of .900 by winning nine games and having two draws. W. N. Woodbury, Birmingham, and P. J. Walker, Varnville, 8. C., tied for second place. Next in order were W. W. Gibbs, Staunton, Va.; James McClure, Nashville, and Martin South- ern, Knoxville. R A MORE SANTA ANITA COIN Purse Money for Next Race Meet Increased Over $100,000. LOS ANGELES, July 13 (#).—Over $1€0,000 more in purse money will be at stake at Santa Anita Park here for the second Winter meeting than was available during the successful inaug- ural year. The Los Angeles Turf Club, an- nouncing its program of stake events during the 58-day meeting, which opens December 25, said the Santa Anita Handicap, to be held February 22, will again be worth $100,000 added money. In addition, $10,000 will be peid trainers of winning and second- place thoroughbreds and $2,500 to the first two jockeys in the race. Santa Anita’s Derby takes place Feb- ruary 15, with the added money in- creased from $20,000 to $25,000. With $1,000, the total money put up for the meeting will run well over $500,000.

AKE POWELL'S old team, the Takoma Tigers, isn't planning to send any players to the big leagues at present, but it has been playing a mighty fine brand of sandlot base ball lately and Manager Ed Bladen believes he has one of the most capable collections of diamond- ers in the District. ‘Winning five of their last six tilts, the Tigers boast victories over such strong nines as the Warwicks, Ballston ‘White Stars, Gaithersburg and North ‘Washington. Bladen, starting the season with a mediocre aggregation, cut loose some of the dead wood and signed several seasoned performers, which accounts for the recent win spurt. With an infleld composed of Bob Newell, Johnny Pope, Ed Raker and Buddy Jarboe, opposing batters have had little luck in smashing a bingle through the diamond. Newell Is Pep Merchant.

Twenty teams have entered for the international team match, which is a record number.

At a reception given by the mayor of Margate, England, to members of the international chess tournament held there recently, Sir Ronald Storrs, formerly Governor of Jerusalem, described chess as played by Arab sheiks, somewhat as follows: “These matches were played under canvas while little foals trotted in and out of the tent. Very often, when he seemed like winning, one of the chiefs would say to him, ‘Beloved gen- eral, look at that exquisite foal’ He would turn around to do so and when he came to resume play & castle would be missing.” NEW ENGLAND will be represented in the American Chess Federa- tion championship tournament, to be- gin at Milwaukee on July 21, by Fred- erick R. Chevalier, former intercol- legiate champion and chess editor of the Christian Sclence Monitor, and Harold Morton. former champion of New England and chess editor of the Providence (R. 1) Journal.

PRINCETON IN LINE FOR OLYMPIC TESTS| Has Great Facilities and Is in| Spot Where It Is Able to Attract Track Fans. IT SEEMS pretty well assured that the Olympic trials next Summer will be held in the Palmer Stadium | | at Princeton. The fast track, oppor- | tunities for housing all the athletes and pleasant environment are among | the factors which will dictate the choice of Old Nassau. But of more important considera- tion is the fact that the outstanding centers of interest in the sport of track and field are Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York and various important cities in the metropolitan area. Here lies the gate and here only— unless you go to the West Coast, which, of course, is too far away from the rest of the Nation to make it a feasible location for a national meet. So far as the athletes are concerned, they are better pleased, more greatly stimulated when they perform before sizable throngs, and the accessibility of Princeton to a multitude of track fans within a radius of 150 miles in- sures & larger number of spectators than would gather anywhere else.
