B—10 SPORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., AUGUST 18, 1935—PART O E. SPORTS 65 M. A. Golfers Aimat U. S. Crown : “Mac Smiths” of Women’s Clan Try Again TAKE SECTIONAL [EST ON TUESDAY Indian Spring Course Made as Tough as Possible for Amateurs. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. LAYING over a course in the pink of condition, stretched out to its maximum length for one of the most important tournaments ever played ai Indian Spring, 65 aspirants for the national amateur crown, now worn by W. Law- son Little, the California larruper, will scrap it out Tuesday for 11 places in the simon pure title tilt at Cleve- land next month. The cream of the amateurs of the Middle Atlantic sector will gather at Indian Spring on Tuesday to play a longer golf course and a tougher course than Indian Spring ever has been, even in wet weather. Elaborate preparations have been made by the club and by the Golf Committee, headed by Tom Belshe, for this tour- nament to weed out the best golfers in this area for the national tourney. Stretched out to a length of around 6,800 yards, with heavy rough bor- dering all the fairways, Indian Spring shapes up as one of the finer tests of golf for any amateur sectional test. W Rough Is Tough. | ITH this affair in mind the Golf Committee months ago issued | orders to let the rough grow tall and | gng Marpin McIntyre (right) how he knocks the ball into the cup. unchecked. The result has been that the forthcoming sectional tourney will put a premium on long and straight driving that seldom has been equaled around Washington. In the past some golfers have re- ferred to Indian Spring as a course | where you could park a tee shot almost anywhere and still get home‘ with an iron second. That statement no longer is true, if it ever was true, | g WO well-balanced golf teams | will face each other across the | first tee at Beaver Dam this afternoon when Kenwood's doughty linksmen will try to plaster on the Beaver Dam team their first | defeat in three matches. Beaver Dam | has won a brace of contests from | Manor and Hermitage of Richmond and is seeking its third straight win | today. Here is the way the tcams will| line up: Beaver Dam—Cliff Spencer (pro.) and Eddie Bean: Martin McCarthy and P. Cary; John R.

Par—In, 36. Yardage—In, 3,425. Total par, 71. 6,830 Those four finishing holes at Indian Spring, where the big pressure will come on the boys as they battle dow: the stretch late Tuesday afternoon, are among the better shotmaking tests to be found anywhere. A fellow can come to the fifteenth needing four pars in for a respectable score and boot his card sky high on those last four holes. Mere slugging won't get anywhere on the lengthy fifteenth | and sixteenth; the ball must be kept straight, for on those holes lies the greatest concentration of heavy rough, as it should be on the long holes. But the man who can pound out two lengthy wooden-club shots and keep them straight will find his reward in possible birdies on these two holes. Houghton Stiffens Test. ‘HE eighteenth, one of the finer finishing holes anywhere in this sector, will yield its par only to the man who propels a tee shot straight down the alley and follows with a pin-splitting iron. It is one hole where even the best of them may come to grief, even thouch it apparently lies wide open. Indian Spring shapes up as one of the better tests of the game for this forthcoming sectional jam- boree, and it looks as if scores as high as 155 may find their makers within the qualifying circle. Predictions as to the leading score range from the 144 guests of Roger Peacock and George Diffenbaugh to the 147 guess of Al Houghton, the guy who is responsible for making the | course so tough. But the records of past qualification rounds show that when the boys get geared up for ac- tion they can cling fairly close to par. ‘The gold medal which goes to the leader was won last year by Gene Vinson of Manor, with a score of 147 for the Five Farms course. But Five Farms is a little trickier and a shade tougher than Indian Spring. Prob- ably a score around 145 will grab the bauble. WINS FOUR TENNIS Last Four Holes Tough.

TITLES IN ONE DAY Ed Weller Puts on a Whirlwind Show in Kansas Open Event. Captures Every Set. By the Associated Press. INDEPENDENCE. Kans., August 17. —Rangy Ed Weller of Austin, Tex., stroked his way to four titles today in the most amazing finish the Kansas open tennis tournament ever has seen. He did not lose a set throughout the tourney. Weller won both the men’s and Junior singles titles against the bril- liant Oklahoma City junior, Don Mc- Neill, 6—2, 6—3, 6—2. Each had won his way through both divisions. The Texan then returned to the court with Lindsey Franklin of ‘Topeka, 1934 men’s singles titlist, and the two won the men’s doubles crown over Clyde Bailie, Pittsburg, and Ray McSpadden, Tahlequah, Okla., 6—3, 6—1, 6—0. In the junior doubles final, Weller paired with Bob McGinnis of Austin to defeat Ed Linsey and George Counts of Oklahoma City, 6—3, 6—4. WILLIS IS TENNIS LOSER D. C. Lad Bows to Madden in Western Maryland Final. OAKLAND, Md., August 17 (#).— Bobble Madden, 18-year-old Pitts- burgh star, carried off the men’s singles in the annual Western Mary- land tenis tournament at Mountain Lake Park today. The United States Golf Associa- tion has announced a record entry list of 954 for the national amateur championship, which will be played at Cleveland September 9-14. Nine hundred and three of these will play 36 holes of medal compe- tition In 26 sectional tests next ‘Tuesday. Ten already have been picked from fields totaling 36 in qualifying competitions in Denver, Los Angeles and San Prancisco. Under the rules a transfer player must equal or improve upon the highest qualifying score in the dis- trict in which he competes. OMMISSIONERS ALLEN, HA- ZEN AND SULTAN have been invited to attend the an- nual city-wide boys’ track and field meet at Central Stadium on Tuesday at 9:30 o'clock and are ex- pected to witness the more than 2,000 contestants vie for medals and honor. An Olympic parade will precede the events and the National Training School Band will provide music for the spectators. Virginia Avenue, defend- ing champion, has made strong show- ings in sectional tests, but will be forced to win out over more than 50 playgrounds before it can cop first place again. Unrestricted, unlimited events, in which nationally known college track stars will compete, are due to get un- der way at 12:30 o'clock.

HILL AND CREWS CHASE 1. . THTLE @ Drive for Honors Long Just Beyond Reach. BY PAUL MICKELSON, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, August 17.—Opal and Maureen, the McDonald Smiths of woman's golf, are going to try again. At Interlachen, the same trap- infested course where Bobby Jones scored the third trick of his unfor- gettable grand slam five years ago, Mrs. Opal Hill of Kansas City and Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews of Coral Gables, Fla., will make what may be their final serious bids for the woman’s national golf championship next week. The golfing careers of the two feminine stars and the veteran Carnoustie Scott are strikingly parallel. For years and years, Mac has been coming close to his greatest ambition, the national open championship. For a decade—or more—Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Crews have been close, only to be denied fulfillment of their dreams by a missed putt or two. Like a vic- tory for Mac Smith, a triumph for either Mrs, Hill or Mrs. Crews would be one of the most popular in the history of golf. Glenna Again Serious. BOTH women have won almost every- thing they've tried for except the national and both have a sound enough game, together with undaunted courage, to achieve their ambition. Of the two, Maureen has come the clos- est, losing in the flnals fn 1927 to Mrs. M. B. Horn at Cherry Valley, Long Island, 5 and 4, in a distinct upset. Mrs. Hill's march always has been stopped late and usually by the ultimate champion. Thi« vear, bota will enter the week’s fight, better rested and betler equipped than be- fore. | Looming as the biggest obstacle in the path of the two will be a familiar figure, however, in Glenna Collett Vare of Philadelphia, five times win- ner of the title. In the absence of | Virgina Van Wie of Chicago, who re- linquished her title without firing & shot, Mrs. Vare stands out as the one to beat if Opal, Maureen, or anv of the host of rising youngsters from | | all sections of the Nation do march into the throne room. Mrs. Vare hasn’t taken competitive golf seriousiv since her marriage and motherhood, but will be back with all her shots in working order this time. Of the younger stars, Marion Miley of Lexington, Ky. trans-Mississipoi and Western champion, is the stand- out although she has played a lot of tournament golf lately and may be tuned a little toco fine for such a strenuous week. Lucile Robinson of | Des Moines, conqueror of Miss Van in the Western championship two years ago, has been in a slump but rates to be a serious contender. Other Stars Rated. ATING the stars is a dangerous occupation, but here are some of | the outstanding ones, in addition to | those already mentioned: Dorothy Traung of San Francisco, & husky who was defeated 3 and 2 in the finals last year as Miss Van Wie won her third consecutive title; Charlotte Glutting of West Orange, N. J.. conqueror of Enid Wilson of England in 1933 and a golfer capable of some of the “hottest” golf in the game: Ada McKenzie of Canada, a star who threatens to show her| Canadian form sooner or later in this show; Patty Berg, the young Minne- apolis girl who Mrs. Hill rates as one of the surest coming stars; Mrs. Marion Turpie Lake of New Orleans, former Southern champion; Mary K. Browne of Cleveland, former National tennis champion and defeated finalist in 1924; Jean Bauer of Providence, R. I, Miami Biltmore champion; Peggy Wattles, Buffalo; Mrs. June Chicago, Western finalist; and Mrs. Leon Solomon of Kansas City. Ninety-four in all will shoot for the title. | Women's par at Interlachen fis 38—40—78, and the course stretches | over 6,345 yards from the front tees. It is well trapped and dotted with enough water hazards to make golf interesting. Jones won the National Open over the same layout from the | back tees—6,672 yards, with succes- sive rounds of 71—73—68—75—287, | completing his grand slam by win- | ning the National Amateur. Frank Fleshman, 60, Triumphs : In County Horseshoe Tourney RANK FLESHMAN, 60-year-old F citizen of Rogers Heights, demonstrated he takes no stock in the theory that youth will be served when he knocked off | 21-year-old Jimmy Whalin, University of Maryland champion, to win the first annual Prince Georges County horseshoe championship on the Bart- lett courts at Brentwood. The scores 40—50, 50—46 and 50—217. The tourney was conducted by the paper. Fleshman, an ice dealer, was as sells. In the third game, with Whalin in front, 44—23, Fleshman hurled a flock of ringers to win. Whalin battled gamely in the early stages of the fourth tilt, but the veteran got hot in the closing innings, filpping 10 ring- ers in 18 shoes to take the game and the title. N Fleshman is the father of Lee Flesh- man, former Maryland champion. He long has been an enthusiasitc devotee of the sport, but never before had won an important tourney. Fleshman and Whalin were the survivors of a starting field of 37. Clayton (Boo) Henson, 1935 runner- up in The Star's metropolitan tour- ney, scored over a brilliant field in the invitation sweepstakes that fol- lowed the Prince Georges event. He vanquished Bill Moore, Washington titlist, in the final. The score was 50—34, 29—50, 50—33. Henson aver- aged 64 per cent ringers. Moore’s ringer average was 60 per cent. In the final game Henson pitched 30 ringers out of 40 shoes while M flipped 31 out of 40. All this tossing, though, was done in the la stages and Henson was 35—14 when the heavy started. Henson defeated Joe Merryman of Bladensburg, 50—27, in the semifinal. Earlier he downed Whalin, 50—20. In other matches in the ’stakes Moore defeated Woody Wilson also of Wash- ington, 50—8; Moore downed Lee Fleshman, 50—15; Fleshman defeated Temple Jarrell, Maryland champ, 50—46, and Merryman defeated Frank Fleshman, 50—2. Following the competition Mayor William N. Mahaffey of Brentwood, honorary chairman of the tourney committee, presented prizes offered by the Hyattsville Independent. Temple Jarrell was in active charge of the affair. P — D. C. MEN MAY FACE RUTH BALTIMORE, Md, August 17.— It is expected District of Columbia and Maryland golfers will be up against the competition of Babe Ruth in the Maryland open golf tourna- ment to be staged here September 13, 14 and 15. Mayor Howard W. Jackson tele- graphed an invitation today to the Babe at Cleveland. Ruth replied he would accept the mayor’s invitation if it does not con- flict with promises previously made, the dates of which he will not know until his return to New York. SASSE GETS TRAINER.

Yes, Dan Suttenfield’s tournament for the boys who never had a chance comes to an end today. and of the five | entrants who were left in the quarter and semi-final matches yesterday nc: one ever has come near winning a local championship. Look at 'em— Alan Staubly. Hugh Trigg, Spencer | Howell, Ray Stocklinski and Don Gar- ber—tennis players, tried and true,! but up to now their song’s been blue. | They could spot you or me four | games a set and our chances of win- | ning one set in a match would be | about as thin as the sheet of paper voure holding. But stack 'em up against the city's bigger boys and they'd last about as long as a Wash- ington pitcher against an all-star| team. They've always given the top-notch- ers plenty of trouble at first, but to- ward the end of the second set they've | folded up or broken down and it's| been the same old story of the same | old names winning. But it hasn't been that way during the past week. Suttenfield, who looks after his en- trants with something akin to perental solicitude, has observed with no little delight that his patrons have battled as hard the past eight days as if they'd been fighting for a major cham- plonship. There’s a cup awaiting the winner with the inscription, ‘ Cham- pion—Embassy Tournament,” and if you don’t think that first word means something to these boys, then you probably believe Max Baer's coming back to the ring merely for the love of money. But Suttenfleld is nol the under- dog’s sponsor, exclusively. As soon &s the unranked doubles teams finish their tournament which opened yes- terday, he's staging au invitation tournament to which the best 16 play- ers of the District will receive bids. HILE the Embassy singles tourna- ment ends today, Bcosey Turney says her chiselers affair would close, too—if she ever could get her players to pull down the curtain. Over a week, now, the entry list of around 30 has been engaged in singles and dou- bles competition and, at Jast, the end is in sight. And unless rain, hurricane or non- appearance of contestants (and the| latter is the most likely) postpone it further, the tournament’s singles semi- final matches will be played tomorrow | with the finals on Tuesday. while | doubles will be wound up with semi- | finals on Tuesday and the champion- ship match Wednesday. Arthur Simmons, State Depart- ment’s nearest approach to the es- sence of unorthodoxy as illustrated by Representative Hamilton Fish some two months ago, already is in the finals and awaits the outcome of a semi-final match tomorrow. This will involve Bobby Burns and the winner Carson must be obtained before defi- nite plans can be made. Army and Navy Clu'.x tournament opens this week, probably tomorrow, | with Capt. 8. K. Robinson. Lieut. Her- bert Thatcher and young Dewitt Ben- nett the likely favorites. Incidentally, Gene Herman is plan- ning an invitation women’s tourna- ment to start the Saturday before La- bor Day. the contestants to be limited to 16. Unless the local girls can de- cide for themselves as to who's to enter, a few preliminary rounds may be played on the Virginia courts. Edith Moore of Montclair, N. J., who de- feated Mury Cootes, new champion, with the loss of but one game in two sets last year, looms the favorite again. Y FAILING to last in the Embassy Tournament, the Sherfy brothers are not upholding the men’s angle of the reputation the courts of the Cen- tral Presbyterian Church always have held. Before being removed in defer- | ence to a new Sunday School Build- ing, Central's courts provided the starting soil whereupon Joe Dunham and Peggy Keyser took their first steps toward District titles which they later annexed. Strand Johnsen, who lately had seen his last name in the public prints only as the suffix of his son-cham- pion David, proved his own right to carry the Johnsen name into battle when he flashed more youthful form than his position as the father of two children would seem possible. Strand has only taken up the game since coming from Sweden in 1929, and that was at the behest of Mrs. Johnsen, who also is & net enthusiast. And had vivacious Verna Parsons, member of the local bar and a recent initiate into the ways of the General Accounting Office, entered the Federal employes’ tournament, we honestly believe she’d have gotten to the semi- finals. Remember that next year, Vernal PERRY DEFEATS SUTTER Briton Good Enough in Pinches to Take Close Match. TORONTO, August 17 (#)—Fred Perry, England's Davis Cup ace and | the world’s No. 1 ranking tennis play- er, turned back Clifford Sutter of New Orleans in straight sets in an exhibition match today. ‘Turning on just enough pressure at critical points, Perry won, 6—4, 7—5; thrown in for an unscheduled one-set match against Gilbert Nunns of Toronto, Perry lost, 6—4. He then paired with Nunns and took a straight set beating from Walter Martin, To- ronto, and Sutter, in doubles, 5—4, b o ol POLICE, HUB NINES CLASH. ‘The No. 5 Police Junior Nine will play the Hub Restaurant at 1 o'clock today on the West Ellipse. of the Kahl Sprigg-Jobnny Hatch match which is to be finished today. Sprigg and Hatch started their match last Thursday, but were fcreed to quit after battling two hours, Hatch win- ning the first set, 9—7, and Sprigg the second, 8—8. Because Simmons’ semi-final oppo- nent, Spencer Howell, was no more than his equal, Mistress of Ceremonies ‘Turney had a premonition Simmons would win.
