B—10 s SHING SHOOTHED BY DISTRICT GRL Accounts for Improvement in Tee Shot That Helps Toward Record Score. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ELEN DETTWEILER seems about ready to cash in on| the promise of the years of development that have come along since the young Congressional miss, then a golfer only two years,| went to the final of the District’s | women'’s championship of 1933. A Constant practice since the District | championship back in June has set- tled Helen mto a swinging groove that bids fair to get the Congressional girl to the top spot among the local | women, a spot that should have been | hers a year o so ago. Helen realizes that there is only one way to ircn out kinks in her golf game, and is cashing in today on the | hot, long hours spent on the practice | tee at Congressional, hours that have | left her with a well-grooved swing | and a tee shot longer even than the | lengthy wallops she has been hitting over the past two years, Like her brother Billy, Helen Dett- weiler is serious about golf and get-| ting somewhere in the game. Modest | to a degree, unassuming about her game, the Dettweiler girl has a bright future before ker in the links sport. But she understands that there is no royal road to stardom, which is the reason Helen is concentrating these days on vractice and is playing only an occasional round of golf. | | PORTS. Boys Will Golf For Muny Title A SMALL fleld of boys who play their golf on the public courses will start tomorrow in the first annual District junior munic- ipal title chase down at East Potomac Park. B. Harry Graham, the irrepressible manager at the down-river course, who used to run a flock of tournaments each year at Rock Creek, thought up this one, and will pull it off this week. The tourney will open with an 18-hole qualification round to- morrow, to be followed by three match play rounds. Entries will be received at the tee tomorrow. EATON N HOT SPOT DEFENDING CROWN His Western Amateur Title | Is Sought by Array of Golf Satellites. By the Associated Press. OLORADO SPRINGS, July 13 —Across the picture post card links of the Broadmoor Country Club the chase after | Zell Eaton’s Western amafeur golf | | title will open Tuesday. Where the dipping plain rolls up to | the Rockies, some of the best of the | country’s amateurs will hustle for six | days in quest of the second most im- | | portant of America’s non-profit golf | championships. But those occasional rounds, sand- wiched in between practice sessions, are good—as she proved the other day in wallopirg the ball around Con- gressional in 81 strokes to set a new women'’s record. You cannot make a score like that over such a lengthy course as Con- gressional’s without doing a lot of golf ball hitting. Pat-ball won't do at all Congressional is no sissy course. But Helen, the crown princess of local women's golf, ironed out all the rough spots witih that 81, the finest score ever recorded by a woman in compe- tition over the course as it stands today. Bound to Gain Heights, HELEN DETTWEILER is due some day to become the best feminine | tainly far from least—that persistent | golfer ever turned out in Washington. It may not come this year, or even next year, but it will come. No woman wich the concentration of pur- pose, the will to play well, and the sheer power that Helen has can long be denied. She won the Maryland State cham- pionship last year in impressive fash- jon, but she had a good week of golf in winning. This year the young woman who last June graduated from college didn’t go far in defense of her title and was eliminated in the first round of the District championship | by Mrs. Roland MacKenzie. But she won't be beaten many more times by any woman around Washington if she keeps on hitting the ball as she has been hitting it lately. Helen knows the cure for her one big fault. She knows that hitting from the top of the swing doesn’t go | in golf and that her troubles of the past have come from this. Her main effort in practice has been to weed out that bad habit, which is in fact the only unsound part of an otherwise strong golf game. When Joyce Wethered, queen of world woman golfers, appeared at Co- lumbia last month, Helen was right up there in the front row watching the effortless and smooth swing of the tall | British girl. “She swings so smoothly,” Helen said of Miss Wethered's game. “And yet she gets a lot of power into the ball. That is what I must do.” And she is doing just that. Rippy Deserves Laurels. CLAUDE RIPPY really did a good job of it when he finally won the District municipal links title after two Years of being the best golfer playing the public courses without a title. That score of 282 shot by the tall North Carolinian last week over the Rock Creek and East Potomac Park courses stands out as one of the finest and most consistent bits of scoring any local golfer ever has turned in. Rock Creek and East Potomac Park are not the hardest golf courses in this or any other town, but they are not soft spots either. They take a knowledge of shotmaking that doesn't permit many men to bust par. Yet Rippy broke par on one round (the third) and finished even with par on two others to score that record-break- ing 282 last week. Rippy will make a good captain of the Washington Harding Cup team in the national tourney at Indianapolis late this month. He has an outside chance to win the tourney, and it wouldn’t shock a lot of people to see him go a long way. Give Claude Rippy two years of Jbractice over the better golf courses around Washington and he wouldn’t be beaten many times in a season by many golfers—amateur or pro. He is a good golfer and one who has a bright future in store for him. Compact and smooth of swing, Rippy also is one of the better putters anywhere. He has learned the knack of rolling ’em in even on those slow greens at the public courses. Put him on the smoother putting surfaces of the private clubs and you would find Rippy busting par in many of his ¥ounds. . BRITON IS AFTER OLIN Hulls Sails for U. 8. to Obtain Opponent for Peterson.

Merritt, a former Dartmouth base ball star, appeared to have the title won when he put his second shot 4 feet from the pin on the first extra hole. Stimson's drive found the woods, his second hit a tree and bounded into bushes and he hacked his third far over the green. His amazing chip for a 4 was so startling that Merritt missed his easy putt and halved the hole. Stimson got a par 4 on the second extra hole, where his opponent's weak third left him with a 40-foot putt that he could not sink.

Of course, we are referring to Gil- bert Hunt, the boy who has played less around this city but done more to focus a bit of the national tennis spotlight on his home town than prob- ably any local player in recent years. Gil hasn't played in a local tourney since he graduated from the junior class,'and that includes since the time | they reckoned that there were only 22 | better players in the country. ‘There seem to be two reasons why Washington sees so little of young | Hunt. Primarily, the former M. L T. | graduate wants to, and is able, to| travel around from major tournaments | to feature events. Consequently, the more famed opponents he stacks up against in addition to the various critics who watch him play do their part when it comes time for the selec- tion of the land’s best. But one who knows Washington consistent delegate to the “big time | attributes another reason for Hunt's | | persistent absence from local tourna- | ments. In fact, there seem to be two | reasons. Our informant says first that Gil realizes there is nothing to be gained, nationally, by participating in Wash- | ington’s biggest tennis events, but sec- ondly, this boy, who is much younger | than Washington's net “greats” is ob- | sessed with an inferiority complex when he faces the familiar faces here- about. The knowledge that he possesses a national ranking in comparison to players who are unknown outside the District line benefits Hunt not at all in competition here. | | WASHINGTON'S trouping tennis quartet hes returned to the city | after a week which started promis- ingly, but during which they were sent home empty handed so far as trophies were concerned. Two of the city’s leaders were elim- | inated on the first day's play and | might just as well have saved train- fare had they been able to foretell | the opposition they were due to | receive. Hugh Lynch, who shone brilliantly in his first local exhibition to reach the semi-finals of the District of Co- lumbia tournament, was eliminated in | the first day's play at the Spring Lake invitation tournament. | Likewise, Harry March, Tech’s great captain, emulated Goliath when a young David struck him down in the play at Frederick. | The other two, however, weren't stopped until the final stages. Of the pair, young Charley Cmnmng“\ still competing in boys’ tournaments here, went the furthest, and what he | | did commanded the most attention. | Up in the Blue Ridge Mountain tour- | | nament with March, Channing m:mi all the way to the final and it was no easy road. Standing between him ! and the title round was young Allie | Ritzenberg, who up until last Wednes- day had trimmed the Central star | every time out. | | But Charley knew there weren't a lot of familiar spectators standing around expecting to see him lose, so surprise Ritzenberg with a three-set victory. And later it took a coliege player to stop the high school lad, for the winner of the tournament was none other than the ranking No. 1 player at Washington and Lee.
