THE veteran, a former State cham- | pion, has been handicapped by & lack of practice and his game is far below his standard of other seasons. Hoot Danzberger, young southpaw, won the consolation round for the sixth place on Virginia's team in the metropolitan district plav-offs, which are scheduled for next Thursday. Vir- | ginia’s other representatives will be Boo Henson, defending metropolitan champion; Frye, beaten by Henson in last year’s final; Thompson and Henry. This list packs more class than Mary- | land’s and likely Washington'’s. The | Capital’s tournament will be held next | Monday and Tuesday nights on the municipal playground courts at the Eckington Recreation Center, beside | the Tech High swimming pools. | APT. HARRY WOODBURN at | Solomons reports that there is an increase in the number | of sea trout being landed in | the mouth of the river and around | Cove Point Light, one boat returning | with eight of these gamesters Wed- | nesday night. | Hardhead, he said, are being caught in large numbers, mixed sizes, with | the majority of them large. He said| that Capt. Preston Woodburn, with a, party from Rockville, fishing late in the evening on Tuesday, landed 500 of these hard-boring creatures. When | all is said and done, the old hard- head still remains the backbone of | the fishing season. And, incidentally, there is some real sport landing the | larger ones, weighing 3, 4 and 5| pounds, These fish now are being | landed at all salt water fishing grounds on both sides of the Bay. In the lower Potomac off Tall Tim- | bers and Piney Point, George Knight st Leonardtown reports many hard- | head being caught along with a few sea trout, blues and roekfish. He said | one day this week Capt. Walter Ches- | eldine landed 11 rockfish averaging from 10 to 15 pounds. At Wachapreague, Va,, the last few | days bave seen a mumber of channel | bass landed along with sea trout, | porgies, hardhead, flounders, etc. A. H. G, Mears reports he landed in three days more than 200 sea trout, s good percentage of them weighing 3 and 4 pounds. ! Fishing was at its height this week end at.Ocean City, all varieties being landed with the exception of channel bass. These “big horses” for some reason or other have slowed up and few are being caught, according to James D. Jarman ‘of this resort. He informs us that plenty of blues are being landed, the boats returning with catches of 72, 74, 86 and 50, ranging in weight from 3 to 8 pounds. “POP" GIRLING, who knows his fish and how to land them, sends in an interesting report of a trip to.the Gooses. This angler said the wisdom of en- gaging a boat well in advance was demonstrated clearly by the large number of anglers who had congre- gated at’ Kenwood at 6 p.m. for boat accommodations that were totally in- adequate at this time. Capt. Leonard was awaiting his party, he said, and in a few minutes they were on-their way to the Gooses, “Arriving an hour before sundown we observed one of the largest fleet of fshing craft I ever saw on any fishing grounds,” he writes. “It was just a case of shrimp the hooks, drop them overboard and reel in, often two fish at a time and no hooks slighted. In all my many years of fishing I never saw hardhead caught anywhere that average larger than the 150 this party | landed on the Gooses. “You take that boat and go back to your home and never show up at my wharf again,” W. G. Beacker is re- ted to have told one of the boat captains he had engaged from across the bay for the crowds now visiting Plum Point Beach, and to another he said after inspecting his craft, “I'm sorry, but we cannot use your type of boat; it is.not seaworthy; don’t bring it here again.” The first party had ' been indulging too freely of meunax All-Day Charity Show Under Way WXTH martial trimmings supplied by its American Legion spon- sors, the charity borse show which is to benefit the Montgomery County Hospital, got under way this morning at 9:30 on the East- West highway exhibition grounds opposite the Meadowbrook Club. Four pony classes opened the pro= gram of 22 events scheduled to continue throughout the day. RVAL FORGES i RN AT LATE Legion, Turner Bands Avoid Conflicts, but Will Hold Two Shows a Week. O FAR as conflicting dates are concerned, the war between the Turner-Ahearn interests and the American Legion for fight so far as patronage is concerned it The rival promotorial outfits got together yesterday to pre- pare new schedules—with the Tur- ner-Ahearn interests getting all the breaks—but with each going ahead with two shows a week the situation remains muddled. Washington is not big enough to support two boxing shows every week and oddly only Monday night has been good financially for the fight game. The Legion, represented at the meeting in the offices of the District Boxing Commission _yesterday by Howard Livingston, its fight manager; | Joe Malloy and Frank Peckham ex-| pressed a desire to alternate with the Turner-Ahearn interests for fight shows on Mondays, but the Turner- Ahearn clique would have none of that. So the cut-throat business goes on. Generally, the rival promoters set their future schedules for four days | a week—the Legion to conduct box- ing on Wednesdays and wrestling on Saturdays at its arena at Sixth street and Florida avenue northeast, and the Turner-Ahearn interests to carry onm | with boxing on Mondays and wres- tling on Thursday at Griffith Stadium. | However, this schedule will not go into effect until late next month. The | Legion arena will be dark next week and there will be no boxing at Griffith Stadium the following two weeks. | Fights will be conducted by the Legion on August 1 and 8 and after that on Wednesday nights. The Turner-Ahearn interests will offer boxing bills on Monday after the| Danno O’Mahoney-Joe Savoldl wres- | tling bout to be staged at Griffith Stadium August 6. NEEDS TILT TOMORROW. Pabst Blue Ribbon team of the J. E. Dyer & Co. are without a game for tomorrow due to a last-minute cancellation. For games call West 0268 or West 2747. over 3 per cent. These words are mu- sic to our ears. This manager of fishing boats at Plum Point Beach is conducting his business in the right manner. He now has a fleet of boats from the Chesa- peake Bay fishing fleet of Tilghman Island, operated by capable and re- liable men. We understand that his motto is “courteous treatment for all.” Plum Point Beach is marked clearly | by an arrow and is recommended by this column to all anglers wishing to visit the Gooses. We now are sure that the captain referred to recently has commenced to see the error in his treatment of anglers and will change his tactics. DAY and tomorrow will be great days for all anglers, either in salt or fresh water. Select your grounds and let us know the result, Bass fishermen chuckled in anticl- patory glee this week, welcoming an announcement by State Conservation Commissioner Robert F. Duer that 200,000 black bass were stocked in various Maryland streams within the last few days, according to an A. P. dispatch. These fish ranged in size from 1 to 4 inches, which means the anglers must wait until their prey “comes of age.” Of special interest to Washington anglers is the fact that in Montgomery County the Potomac River was stocked with 7,800 of these babies. Farther upstream 7,000 small mouths were placed in the Potomac near Hagers- town. The largest number were placed in the Conowingo Lake, where 70,000 large mouth were released. We im- agine that the majority of fish placed in this lake eventually will make their way into Pennsylvania streams, as the water in the lake is 100 and 200 feet deep, much too deep for the anglers and also too deep for the fish to seek food except around the shore line. TEXAN IS NET CHAMP Weller Annexes Eastern Juniors’ Title in Easy Fashion.

DZY PACE I SET N ST, PAL GO Tie in Tourney Led by Ray Mangrum. By the Associated Press. T. PAUL, July 20.—Par, hallmark | S of perfection in golf, was worth: about as much as last year's| reputation in the $5000 St.| Paul open championship today. | As the field, a record-breaker for | class and numbers, stepped out in pursuit of Ray Mangrum of Los An-| geles in the second round of the 72- hole champlionship battle, the scoring pace was so fast over the perfectly conditioned Keller public course that par was good only for a fourteenth- place tie. Mangrum, armed with a red-hot| routed par by five blows on his first round tour yesterday, but all he got| with his 67 was a one-stroke lead. | “Lighthorse” Harry Cooper and Frank Walsh of Chicago, and Bill| Kaiser, Loulsville pro, had 68's. Field Is Bunched. 'HE field, generally, was so tightly bunched for the final 54-hole drive that 72 of the original 165 starters were parked within 10 strokes, 67 to 7. The other par-busters were Ky Laf- foon, Chicago, 69; Henry Picardo, Si| Kunes, Philadelphia; Bunny Torpey,| Kansas City, and Pat Sawyer, Min- neapolis amateur, all tied at 70, and s trio of 71-shooters from Chicago— Tom Armour, Eddie Loos and Horton | Smith—and Joe Brown, Des Moines. Tied from fourteenth place with! par golf were five professionals—Byron | Nelson, Ridgewood, N. J.; Denny | Shute, Chicago; Leo Diegel, Philadel- | | phia; Ralph Stonehouse, Indianapolis, | and Sammy Belfore, & dark horse from | | Duluth, Minn. The scoring was so low that some of the experts figured that the record | low for the tournament's five years of | play—278 by Horton Smith in 1931— was endangered. GET IN GRID RUNNING Barber, Fugua Pile Up Votes in All-Star Team Poll. CHICAGO, July 20 (4. —Jim Bar- ber, University of San Francisco tackle, and Ray Fugua, end from Southern Methodist, have moved into the contention for places on the col- lege all-star foot ball squad which meets the Chicago Bears August 29. Each remained in third place in his- respective division, but gains of more than 13,000 votes put them closer to the leaders. e PEEWEES CHALLENGE. Little Tavern Peewees are seeking opposition. Call Manager Cozlin at Columbia 4301-M. O WEAKLING is Bob Barnett when he invites a few of the boys over to Chevy Chase to play golf. You might think, to look at Bob and to watch him play pending on the game, that he might like to play the usual course, taking the markers where they come. But it isn't so at all. Bob puts all the boys back on the extreme rear of the rear tees, and if you think Chevy Chase is a pushover or a sissy golf course under those con- ditions, with watered fairways, you are ell wrong. That golf course, from those back tees, must measure close to 7,000 yards, even though the card doesn’t say so. The first three holes, which used to be drive-and-pitch affairs in the Sum- mer when the fairways got hard, now are two big shots each even with wood, and the whole course has been stretched out to something that looks like the Chevy Chase of Spring invita- tion tournament time when there isn’t & longer golf course to be found any- where.

Bono, Dana Belser and George F. Miller. Bono needed the bird to give him a flat 70, which is just par for the layout. Miller drove the green and nearly holed the putt for the eagle. GAINES LONE VET IN WESTERN GOLF Gets to Semi-Finals With| All Youngsters. By the Associated Press OLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 20.—Four expert shot- makers, to whom winning the | 36-year-old Western amateur golf championship would be a brand- new experience sharpened their sights | for the semi-final matches today.

Of the four, Bliss had the easiest and Yates the hardest job in driving to the semi-finals. Bliss, all clubs blazing, saddled a crushing 9-and-8 defeat on Dave (Spec) Goldman of Dallas, who beat Johnny Goodman the day before. Yates, shooting three below par for the 36 holes, over- hauled Gus Moreland, Peoria, I, | and beat him 1 up. Gaines topped Jack Malloy, Tulsa, 1 and 1, and Edwards fired four birdies in the last four holes to beat | Walter Emery, Shawnee, Okla, by the same score. BEATS TROTTING MARK. CLEVELAND, July 20 (#).—Miss Abbedale, Indiana mare, driven by Denny Shell, bettered the world half- mile track Tecord for pacers com- peting from a standing start when she traveled a mile in 2.03% at the Berea course last night. chance for the membership to agree to & two week's cessation of play, which is what would be needed were a national title tourney staged over that layout. Bob Stead, golf chairman at Chevy Chase, who handled the Curtis Cup matches so well last year, says that it would be unfair to ask the big membership to give up the golf course for so long a time. (CLAUDE RIPPY, captain of the ‘Washington Harding Cup team, which will go to Indianapolis next week to play in the national public links tourney, is & worried lad be- cause of the rumors that have been flying around sbout his amateur status. Claude knows that nothing in the nature of an official protest has been made about him or his job as & clerk at Rock Creek Park, but he knows of the conversation going the rounds. In fact, he even has been considering not taking the trip, which would be absolute foolishness. F A TENNIS fan had four pairs of legs and four separate minds he'd be no quandary today. He might go to White Sulphur Springs to watch Barney Welsh at- tempt to add the West Virginia open to his record and then turn his at- tention to ome of the resort's other courts and see Alexandria’s Mary Cootes, District women's champion, 80 after the feminine honors. He might ride over to Baltimore to | see two of Washington's youngsters, Harry March anr Davin Johnsen, climb another rung of the tennis ladder by playing in the semi-finals of the Maryland junior and boys’ champlonships. But even if he stayed at home he'd probably wonder whether to head North or South, We presume, how- ever, he'd forego the opening rounds of the public parks tournament at Rock Creek and cross the Potomac to get to the Army and Navy Club to watch the Army and Navy forget everything else but the desire to annex the famous Leech Cup matches: There's not apt to be many vacant seats among the 1,000 chairs when play begins at 2 o'clock. IP BARNEY WELSH succeeds at White Sulphur today, hell have real reason to expand his chest. His foe is Paul Pollard, a Lynchburg boy, who has upset two favorites. On the second day Pollard eliminated the West Virginia State champion, Sam Cohn, and yesterday he turned back Paul Kunkel, the 134 finalist. Barney, on the other hand, was provided with little more than a workout in trimming Billy Jacobs of Baltimore, 6—4, 6—1. The District’s other champion, Mary Cootes, at White Sulphur likewise ad- vanced to the final, but the chance of another battle between her and Sara Moore, City of Washington champ, went when the latter bowed in the other semi-final to Mrs. Naomi Thompson of Wash- ington, Pa., 6—1, 6—1. Miss Cootes had to defeat the defending champion to earn the right to play today, but Prances Grimes, who won the title last year, was outplayed after taking the first set and bowed, 2—86, 6—4, 8—6. OVIB at Baltimore, Harry March and Dave Johnsen held Washing- ton’s hopes in the semi-finals of the Maryland State junior and boys’ cham- plonships scheduled for today. March went through two rounds yesterday, defeating Albert Earlbeck, 6—4, 6—S3, and Walter Cummings, 6—1, 6—3.

Willie O'Steen, the girl of the playground without a court, seemed to have been playing all her life as she trimmed attractive Helen Orme, Roosevelt High's champion, 6—3, 6—4. Miss Orme sent more returns back at Miss O’Steen than that young lady had experienced in the whole tourney, | but Willie returned the “unplayable” ball even more.
