THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1935. SPORTS. #x A—13 Plans to Make Golf Tour in Own Plane [ SPORTS. Roland M’Kenzie, Learning to Fly WIFE WILL TAKE LESSONS LATER Young Congressional Pro Will Be First to Pilot Self to Tourneys. BY W. R. McCALLUM. OLAND MacKENZIE, young Congressional Country Club professional, is going up in the air next Winter. The young man who turned profes- sional three years ago after a success- ful career as an amateur, is taking flying lessons at College Park Airport, and plans to buy a plane and make the Winter golf tour from Florida to California and back. His winsome wife—Mrs. Betty Mac- Kenzie—plans to make the air tour with him. It's all in the tentative stage now, but Roland is determined to become the first golf professional in the world | to make the Winter professional tour by air. He made it last year (or part of it) by automobile trailer, thereby setting a new style in travel for the golf pros. But this year, if his present | plans work out, he will go a step further in fast transportation and travel by airplane. Already Roland has done a good deal | of solo work in the air, with an in-| structor in the front cockpit, and has | made several landings and take-offs. | His work with a training plane has been labeled good by airport attend- ants, and his instructor says the young man is learning fast and will make ® good pilot. ‘Wife Likes His Ideas. SO FAR he has kept the word of his plans a secret, even to his mother and father, who are spending the Summer at Colorado Springs, Colo. But he has slipped away from Con- gressicnal on his day off and late in the evening, after his dutles were over, to jump over to College Park and go through his flying routine. He | has been a student aviator for about two weeks and is progressing rapidly to the point where he will have that | thrill of all flyers—his first solo hop, without an instructor aboard the ship. “Both Betty and I are all for it, Roland said today, as he looked back on another lesson he took last night | at College Park. “We are lcoking | forward to the day when we can pile} our golf bags and a few clothes in our own ship and shove off for Florida, | and a hop across the country to Cal-| fornia, where I plan to play in the| ‘Winter tournaments on the Pacific | Coast. Will it be tough on my first try? Sure, but it is great fun, and along with the plane work I have to learn a lot about navigation and how to fly the beacon routes and all that | sort of thing. I already have had some practice in fiying over the rail- road tracks and it is hot stuff. My big thrill so far was when my in- structor cut off the engine and told me to land deadstick. I didn't do so well, but he slipped her in alright and that taught me plenty.” 1 She’ll Learn to Fly, Too. ‘ RS. MacKENZIE has done a good | deal of transport flying, but she never has had the stick of a plane in her hands. That will come later, for as soon as Roland attains his 50 | hours of solo work and receives a license to carry passengers aloft, Betty will begin to learn how to han- dle the plane and will become Wash- ington’s first golfer-aviatrix. Professional golfers frequently have used airplanes in their hops between tournaments, but no one yet has at- tempted to use his own plane for the job. That is what Roland intends to do, if all goes well. He figures that the cost of operation will be about that of the auto trailer the young MacKenzies used on their cross- country jaunt to California last Win- ter. “It runs about $1.50 a day for storage,” he said, “which is about the cost of putting up a car in a garage. And the gas and oil items won't be much more than operating an auto- mobile.” So don't be surprised any day now to see Roland MacKenzie zoom down out of the skies in the latest model airplane, land on an adjacent fair- way and nonchalantly take his golf clubs out of the cabin and start hit- ting the ball. If he files as well as he plays golf, the MacKenzie young- sters are going to have themselves a flock of thrills. PETWORTH A. C. BOOKING. Manager Herman is booking games | for the Petworth A.

HURTS SHELVE L. WANEB; Crash With Wall May Keep Him | Out for Several Weeks. CHICAGO, August 6 (#).—Physi- clans reported tonight that Lloyd Waner, brilliant center fielder, may be out of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ line- up for several weeks. Waner ran against a wall at St Louis yesterday. The extent of his| injuries were unknown pending the outcome of an X-ray examination. “The trouble was in the concrete,” the player observed “it simply refused to give.” RESENT KNIGHT RULING Fans Toss Chairs and Cushions in Support of Everett. MIAMI BEACH, Fla, August 6— Joe Knight. 169%, Cairo, Ga., was awarded an unpopular 10-round deci- sion here last night over Buck Everett, 181, Gary, Ind, after a rough-and- tumble fight. | Referee Jimmy Maloney and one | judge voted for Knight, the other judge balloting for a draw. The crowd of 2,500 threw cushions and chairs into the ring in protesting the decision. CAMPBELL NO BETTER Stricken Tribe Outfielder Still in Serious Condition. DETROIT, August 6 (#).—The con- dition of Bruce Campbell, outfielder | for the Cleveland Indians, who was | stricken with cerebro-spinal fever Sat- urday, remained serious today. Harper Hospital attendants said he passed “only a fair night.” Campbell’s mother, Mrs. Marguerite Campbell, is at his bedside. TAKES LEGION TITLE.

S e DUDLEY'S 143 IS BEST. READING, Pa., August 6 (#).—Ed Dudley won the Central Pennsylvania open golf championship from his as- | sistant pro at the Philadelphia Coun- | try Club, shooting a 70—73—143 over | the Reading Country Club course. SATURDAY GAME SOUGHT. | A Saturday game with a strong | unlimited nine is desired by the Call Georgia 5499. - ARYLAND bass streams now are in the best condition | M they have been this season. R. F. Thomason, at Riverton, reports that the north branch of the Shenandoah is clear at Strasburg and | cloudy at Riverton, and the south | branch very cloudy at Luray and also at Riverton. At Harpers Ferry anglers will find both rivers clear, according to our report today. } Following good reports of bluesi being caught at various salt water grounds, many anglers were r"le-J‘ pointed Saturday and Sunday. There | were some lucky anglers who got among schools of these fighting game sters, but the majority were disap- pointed. not only with the blue, but also with the hardhead. | Capt. Harry Woodburn, at Solomons Island, informed us that Saturday and Sunday few hardhead were caught, and that they did not commence to strike until 8 o'clock in the evening. Sunday several schools of blues broke water and some rather good catches were made. Several miles below Cedar Point Light several boats ran into these gamesters and landed 25 and 30 of them. Between 1and 3 Sunday after- noon other anglers were lucky enough to see the blues breaking off Cove Point and made good catches. There were 30 boats on Southwest Middles Sunday and all are reported to have landed many good-sized blues. Among the lucky anglers at this place were W. G. Garrison, R. L. Rever- comb, S. Lidoff and A. B. Gusdorf, fishing with Capt. L. M. Spriggs ol Piney Point. They landed 22 blues averaging 4 pounds, with the largesc tipping the scales at 612 pounds. They chummed and trolled, and while chum- ming landed many large hardhead. John E. Haltigan, brother of Pat Haltigan and former clerk at the Police Mitchell Park Comes to Life In Swim as Georgetown Wins EORGETOWN play ground again was victorious in its own pool, but this time the swimmers of Mitchell Park, previously failing to score a point in boys’ meets conducted by the Depart- ment of Playgrounds, were the object of attention as they piled up 29 to take third place. Scoring 69 points, Georgetown had little trouble annexing the élimina- tion meet. Takoma playground placed second with 39% points, while Chevy | =16 Chase finished fourth with 10; Eaton, %Y%; Happy Hollow, 3, and Fillmore, 1 ‘Tomorrow the girls’ interpool final meet will be held at the Monument Pool.

Court, took his first salt water fish- ing trip Sunday, accompanied by George E. Brown, Thomas Daly and ‘Wallace Hanning, all lawyers in the Veterans' Burei They went out with Capt. Manifold of Herring Bay and fished off Tilghman Island, Sharps Island and on the Gooses, land- ing & total of 50 big hardhead. They report trolling through school after school of blues, but could not get a strike, although trying all kinds of lures. Dr. and Mrs. Shannon Butts and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Sandoz spent the entire day Sunday fishing in the Herring Bay district and only landed two blues, one weighing 5% and the other 4!, pounds. Last Wed- | nesday Dr. Butts caught 40 and on Friday 78 of these gamsters weighing 3 and 4 pounds. Senator Vic Donahey of Ohio and his secretary, E. C. Reed, visited Gales- ville Sunday and went out with Capt. Howard Hartge in one of Capt. Haz- zard’s boats. They landed 35 hard- head, the largest weighing 4!2 pounds. W. G. Becker and his son, fishing on the Gooses Sunday, landed 69 blues. Joe Thomas, local angler, hooked an unwelcome 40-pound skate on the Gooses Sunday. He had a_terrible time landing this big fish, He got it into the boat, all right, but the big thing flopped around and finally got back into the water, and “another big one got away.” James E. Chinn of The Star, just back from a trip to Ocean City, says fishing is not any too good at this resort. He is of the opinion that the majority of big blues have advanced up the coast. He went 35 miles off shore with Capt. Crawford Savage and landed only several small blues, but he said he did see a whale, noth- ing else, and that this big monster broke water about 212 miles off his boat. Close enough, he would say. In the Susquehanna River, Capt. W. W. Wilkinson, at Old Rock Run Mill, reports fishing very good at this time. One boat, he says, took 85 pounds of rock in one afternoon. At Rock Hall, Md, Capt. Lewin Blackston, jr, says rock have been striking, trolling and chumming, and that many of those landed ran be- tween 2 and 8 pounds. The high boat landed 70 of these striped beau- ties last week. Across the bay at Deals Island, Md., Capt. sDewey Webster reports good catches of hardhead, blues, sea trout, kingfish and perch.

HE latest wrangle in golf—or Pprofessional golf as she is being played around Washington these days—Ilies between two of the smallest fellows hitting the ball well and two of the biggest. That doughty lictle Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase, as cocky a redhead as ever stroked a putt, has taken diminu- tive George Diffenbaugh of Indian Spring as his partner and has come out with a challenge to two of the big- ger boys in the pro racket for a golf match. ‘The two men he picked are also fairly competent hitters of a golf ball, for Bob never wants any pushover. He has chosen Wiffy Cox, the Kenwood sharpshooter, and Roland MacKenzie, the budding young aviator from Con- gressional. The match will be played in a week or so. “And they can play us anywhere, anytime,” says Bob. “We like that match over any golf course, the tough- er the better. We like ‘em tough.” Bob had a 74 yesterday at Indian Spring to prove the top scorer in a little informal contest’ which he and | Roland lost to Diffenbaugh and Roger Peacock by 2 and 1, with George miss- ing a 3-footer on the eighteenth to| tie for the best medal card. Not one of the four was really warm, | but again little George was the poison- | ous lad. He banged in a couple of | lengthy putts to give his side the de- cision, those putts coming from a new blade which Bob had brought over to | him from Chevy Chase. “It’s like get- ting stabbed with your own knife,” Bob Joked. 'LAUDE RIPPY, the tall young man from Shelby, N. C., about whose status there was a little fuss prior to the national public links champion- ship, has gotten himself a new job. He has left the Leoffler organization to become associated with a sporting goods house with a store located in the downtown area. Rippy won the District public links title on July 9. LITTLE BETTY BOOP, as petite Betty Keeler is known to her links cronies, is going to have a rough time grabbing the women's public 106 blows to negotiate the course yes- terday. Mrs. Arnold McNitt, who has been playing golf only a few months, scored a 90 to take the early lead, a lead which held good until late in the efternoon when Mrs. Walper came in with her 86. The opening match-play round was being run off today, and the final is carded for Friday after- noon. SHORN of their title to the colored | caddie chamipionship of the city and about to go on relief if they don’t win the next match, Rudolph Ivarson and Clyde Martin, colored Congres- | sional caddies, are pointing for their next contest with two free-swinging Columbia boys next Monday. Harry Jackson and Bobby King of Columbia trimmed them by 5 and 4, taking nearly 50 bucks from the Con- gressional boys. “We'll get 'em on our own course next week,” grinned Rudolph. “And collect that bundle and a little more.” NSULTS are being piled on insults at Indian Spring as Capt. Tommy | Utz of the Indian Spring “midgets” replies to the taunts of Capt. E. B. ‘Wagner of the “giants.” The two cap- tain a brace of teams which will meet in a fortnight for the dinners. Here is & sample of the Utz replies: “Little men to arms, brain versus brawn, skill | versus brute force, sclence, technique, | ability, delicacy of thought, intelligent execution of effort is being challenged | by brute strength and awkwardness. “Huge monsters in semblance of hu- | man beings dare to question our su- | premacy as men and golfers.

By the Associated Press. ESTWOOD COUNTRY CLUB, CLEVELAND, Au- gust 6.—Practically all the class A feminine golfers between the Alleghenies and the Pa- cific Coast were ready to tee off here this morning in the opening round of the match play which will lead one of the 32 qualifiers to the women's West- ern championship. Among more than 100 woman stars who participated yesterday in the qualifier for the 35-year-old tourna- ment, the 32 emerged as the select list which will battle for the crown won & year ago by Mrs. L. D. Cheney of San Gabriel, Calif. Mrs. Cheney is not defending her laurels this year because of illness. Final Slated Saturday. MATCH play will continue through Friday, with the finale over the 36-hole route. In the opening round is Dorothy Traung of the San Fran- cisco Olympic Club, who lost to Mrs. Cheney a year ago. Others include Mary K. Browne, former tennis cham- | plon of America and Cleveland's four- | time golf champion; Shirley Ann Johnson, 17-year-old Chicago girl, who has been playing great golf; Eva Shorb, another 17-year-old from Mas- sillon, Ohio, and a host of veterans. Miss Traung faced a dangerous op- ponent in her first match today, Miss Marion Wiley of Lexington, Ky., the trans-Mississippi champion. Miss Browne, who paired with 17-year-old Ellamae Williams of Chicago to lead pay.” The midgets must not weigh more than 150 pounds, nor scale more than 5 feet 8 inches. On the first tee will be a set of scales, with a height scale, to weigh and measure the competitors. links championship this year. The reason is the ominous and awesome | figure of Mrs. Leo Walper of Ken- wood, a woman who never has played in the public links tourney before, but who probably will win this year's joust. Betty automatically qualified yes- terday, and Mrs. Walper won the| medal at Rock Creek Park with a card | of 86, dropping into the lower half | of the match-play rounds, while little Betty Boop found her spot in the top | half of the bracket.
