B—10 Largest Delegation Ever to Represent Capital Set for Cleveland. BY W. R. McCALLUM. FEW days hence a group of eight hopeful club-swingers, representing just about the = best there is in local golf, will hop off, singly and in small groups, for Cleveland, where they will start on September 9, in the chase for the national amateur cham- pionship crown, now worn by Lar- ruping Lawson Little of California. The largest delegation, with one ex- ception, to play from the National Capital, in the amateur classic, these lads, most of them comparative youngsters at the business of beating a ball around a bunkered fleld with & club, should make a good showing in the coming tournament and one or two of them may go far in the all-match play tourney. A survey of their capabilities finds them just about on a par with the Jesser light from other localities. But from those lesser lights occasionally comes a star of surpassing magnitude, and who can say that one of the Jocal boys will not rise as Billy Howell | did in 1931, and become the sensation of the tournament? Pitt Has It AlL ON THE face of things three men appear to stand out among the eight qualifiers from Washington. These are Harry G. Pitt, Manor Club’s veteran war-horse, at the age of 31, a veteran of many years of hectic links warfare; Roger Peacock, Indian Spring’s smooth swinger, and sensational scorer, and Levi Yoder, the tall pine from Linville, N. C. who has won for himself a top posi- tion among the Washington linksmen in the brief space of a year of com- petition. The others—Maury Nee of Columbia, Volney Burnett of In- dian Spring, Page Hufty of Chevy Chase, Hickman Greene of Manor end Craig McKee of Indian Spring— all may go well, but the spearhead of the attack seems to lie in the eapable hands of Pitt, Peacock and Yoder. Harry Pitt may not go to Cleveland. If he does not go the Washington delegation will be wenli ened, for big Harry is a great matci player, a man who takes chances and who has all the shotmaking equip- ment any champion needs. He is the type of fellow who might regain the keenness he had seven or eight years ago and produce a round .of golf good enough to lick Lawson Little. It sounds funny, but Harry had it & few years back. Lawson is the one - golfer in the field to beat, the one man who seems to be able to outclub any amateur in the game in the big championships. But the Harry Pitt of 1928 and 1929 could go as fast, when right as the Little of today. Never has a finer match been played anywhere than that between Pitt and Maurice McCarthy at Chevy Chase in 1928. In that round Harry shot a 68, one under par, to whip McCarthy’s 69 by a single hole over a golf course that was as tough as the Cleveland Country Club layout will be next month. Peacock Can Apply Pressure. OGER PEACOCK, too, has put on some exhibitions of golf that would win in any company. Not the least of them was that, Maryland State final of 1933 at Indian Spring where the Peacock boy, 2 down to | 5m Pitt, played the next 16 holes in four under even 4s to win going away. A turn of speed like that would whip anybody, and Roger is the boy who ean put it on. Yoder is not as flashy as either Pitt or Peacock. The tall, black- haired one from the Carolina moun- tains, is more of a plodder, but a steady, plugging type of golfer who goes along getting his pars and let- ting the birdies fall where they may. He will take a lot of licking. Volney Burnett is the erratic type of player, s man capable of great spurts of brilliance and & good shotmaker un- der pressure. But he hasn’t had any experience in the national. The big show may awe him as it has awed many others. Maury Nee hasn't yet cashed in on the promise of his early years, Three years ago he looked to be a coming champion, but he hasn’t done anything since to make him ap- pear the kid wonder of his George- town Prep days. Maury, like the others, never has been in the match- play rounds of a national, and will be in there matching shots with the best in the game for the first time. His putting, sometimes brilliant, may get him far along in the national. McKee Is Erratic. HICKMAN GREENE, could he re- gain his form of Chevy Chase, could beat any one. For the Louisiana kid put on a show in that tourner that would whip any man in the .amateur field. Golf isn't like a spigot. ,You can't turn it on any time and _hope it will flow out, full bodied and unchecked. But Hickman is the type ‘of lad who takes his game seriously “enough to work hard. He may go well “at Cleveland. " Craig McKee is a slashing player, the type a gallery likes to watch. He will take chances to win, gambling ‘everything on one shot, but he isn’t 1ikely to go far at Cleveland. He needs -gonsistency more than anything else. ‘Sheer nerve to try the big shot doesn't slways win golf matches, Page Hufty, back on his putting stroke again, can go well at Cleveland. The former North and South cham- plon was a pitiful putter for a stretch of years. Two-footers became the bane of Hufty's life. But now he has come back on his putting stroke and is scoring like he used to score 10 years ago. The Washington group all are good ‘golfers, but you can look for Pitt, “Peacock and Yoder to set the pace, ‘with a possibility that Maury Nee may ‘get “hot” enough to win a few matches. © JACKSON NET VICTOR ‘Doluu Fitch for Colored Tennis : Association Crown. ., INSTITUTE, W.

EPTEMBER, the month of club S championships, is almost with e us, and within a few weeks the business of deciding club crowns will be well under way. Chevy Chase is the only local club which has settled its championship, won by W. Beverly Mason. At least a half-dozen others will stage their club title tourneys during the next month. Here is the list of the current club champions: Chevy Chase, W. Beverly Mason; Columbia, Miller B. Stevinson; Kenwood, Russeli Hollebaugh; Washington, Dr. Calvert E. Buck; Congressional, Luther C. Steward, jr.; Woodmont, Howard Nordlinger; Army-Navy, Maj. R. K. E WERE talking with West Virginia's Representative, Jennings Randolph, yes- terday, and this ardent tennis fan and former intercollegiate champion of his State expressed what every one in this town of ours has been thinking for the last few years. We asked him what he thought of the tournament (or non-tournament, to be more truly descriptive) situa- tion around Washington, and this distinguished gentleman of Congress, who proves just as democratic in sports as he is in politics, stated it most succinctly in one paragraph. “Gosh, there's not half enough of ‘em for the number of tennis players in this city. The District ought to sponsor three times as many tourna- ments. This town could go tennis- mad, if given half a chance.” UT isn't it true? be a great shock, too, when net- men hereabout learn that only one more tournament will be held to com- plete the 1935 season. For yesterday it was rumored that the Washington Grove tournament, listed in the tennis guide to start one week from tomor- row, has been canceled. The hard- working but inelastic court provider at the Army and Navy Club, Gene Hermann, stated that no men's tour- nament would be held there, as first stated. The invitation ladies’ event.\ planned for the Labor day week end. will be the only tournament to which outsiders will be invited. Columbia Country Club’s Tennis Committee meets this afternoon to discuss the fate of a proposed invita- tion tourney at the Connecticut ave- nue estate. If favorable action is taken, 16 of the city's leading net- men will be asked to take part in matches which may start next Satur- day, now that the Washington Grove event seems definitely off the books. Sixteen would start play on Saturday afternoon, with the quarter-finals listed Sunday morning, the semi-finals Sunday afternoon, and the final on Labor day STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE by W.R.MECALLUM tional women’s championship, which opens tomorrow at Minneapolis.

Por..mcs and lack of courts are said to be the reason for the can- cellation of the Washington Grove tournament. The home town boys didn't like the idea of outsiders using the few courts that belong to Sam Walker in the Grove, and brought pressure to bar any influx of Wash- ingtonians. Over at Army and Navy “Happy” | Hermann is faced with the proolem | of placing 960 club racketers on six | | courts. Hence, any encroachment by | outsiders upon so few courts is not | looked upon with any special favor by | those who contribute to the exchequer | that sustains the Arlington “luxury.” | But Gene is planning at least to | | new courts next year and also cavis- | | fons resurfacing the, present concrete | courts, giving to them a grasstex footing. So at present it seems as if the 1935 District tennis -season will be completéd with only three open tournaments, the Big Three—City of ‘Washington, District of Columbia and Public Parks—already having been held. And, as Representative Ran- dolph said, “Not half enough for the number of tennis players in the city.” THE HON. MR. RANDOLPH, who | gave us such a nice “lead” for | today’s chatter, is quite devoted to | athletics. For some years he served | as athletic director of Davis and | Elkins after playing tennis with his | Salem College team. During the | | present session of Congress he has | been playing tennis frequently, some- times as much as three times a week. His best practice has been gained in his sets with Tom Frydell, Columbia’s pro. But he's been unsuccessful in his attempts to lure his colleague, Hamil- ton Pish, back to the courts. You re- member, of course, Mr. Fish's .ner- getic endeavors on the courts last June during the City of Washington tournament. He hasn’t played since. ‘What Mr. Randolph recalls with the greatest delight, however, is the Sum- mer he played with Champion Barney Welsh in the Western Maryland | tournament at Mountain Lake Park. The Mountaineer says he would have | been there this year if Congress had | adjourned in time. In case you think Karl Corby, asso- | clated with Hibbs & Co., doesn't like his tennis, let it be stated for your information that «fter he had arrived in Maine recently to start his vaca- tion he phoned, disdaining to wire or write, Tom Frydell to send his spe- cially-made racket from the Columbia tennis shop. That it already had been sent seemed to console nim & great deal. The interest of another Congress- man in the game is shown by the anxiety of Represnetative Ralph O. Brewster to get home to Maine to play on his private courts. Speaking of Prydell reminds us that the smiling sunburned maestro of Columbia’s courts says he's going up to take his annual licking in the professionals’ tournament at Forest Hills about September 15. Now, would you be surprised if he gave a licking or two before being eliminated? I wouldn’t. LOOKS as if the woman's invitation at Army and Navy next week end may result in a battle of the Moores for the championship. With Mary Cootes out of the local picture, Sara Moore seems destined to lead the local girls,” while Edith Moore from New Jersey is rumored as the strong- est .of the out-of-towners to partici- pate. D AUGUST 25 LUTHER, SERAFIN TIE AT HERSHEY Finishing With 290s, Will Play-off Today for Open Golf Meet Prize. By the Associated Press. ERSHEY, Pa., August 24.— Racing past the faltering leaders as they collapsed down the stretch, Ted Lu- ther, slim Ohloan, and Feliz Serafin, husky up-State Pennsylvanian, dead- locked today for top money in the l:,ooo Hershey open golf champion- ship. ‘Taking advantage of the high-run- ning final round scores compiled by the earlier pace-setting trio of Denny Shute, Jimmy Hines and Byron Nel- son, the Girard, Ohio, pro and the Scranton money player smashed out sub-par rounds of 71 on their last tour of the course to tie with 72-hole totals of 290. They play off tomorrow at 18 holes over the Hershey Country Club lay= out for the title and the $1,000 top money prize that goes with it. The loser tomorrow takes $750 second money, Shute Stumbles at Finish. HUTE, the easy-going former British open king from Ohicago, kicked away his three-stroke lead at the 54- hole mark py stumaing in with a big 80 on the last round to deadlock with Johnny Revolta, the wiry Mil- waukeen, at 293 as runners-up to the leading pair. Revolta had even par 73 on his final 18. Another dark horse, Gene Kunes of Norristown, Pa., was immediately be- hind them. He added a sub-par 71 to his previous score for a 295 aggre- gate.

Have Gone into Debt. IN RECENT years—since the downe under players have failed to win their way into the semi-finals—Aus- tralian tennis has been going deeper and deeper into the red. The situa« tion several years ago became so bad that the nation was not represented in Davis Cup play. This year, again, the economic picture is distressing indeed. Present strength of the European zone players gives no favorable out- look for Australia.

STALLION IMPORTED FOR LABROT’S FARM Kantar, Coming From France, Has Won Much Money, Produced Many Stake Winners. By the Assoctated Press. ANNAPOLX& Md., August 24.—The arrival of a stallion, purchased in Prance by the family of the late Sylvester W. Labrot, is expected at the Holly Beach Farm, near here, within 30 days. The stallion, known as Kantar, out of Alcantara II, was owned by Lady Grenard, sister of Ogden Mills, and has won purses totaling 1,360,000 francs. ‘William H. Labrot said the stallion had produced five stake winners and had been bred to mares owned by King George of England, Lord Derby, Lord Astor and Joseph W. Widener. Kantar, born in 1925, will take the place of Sir Greysteel, Labrot stallion, recently destroyed when he broke -his leg. Terms of the sale were kept private.

J., August 24.—Fred , England’s great amateur tennis player, gave a near-capacity crowd of 1,500 persons attending the annual intersectional court series between the East and West a sample of his prowess today by defeating Manuel Alonso, one-time Spanish Davis Cup star, in an entertaining exhibition contest at the Orange Lawn Tennis Club. Preparing for the defense of his United States singles championship at Forest Hills, Long Island, next week, Perry downed the still-dangerous Alonso, .7—5, 6—4. He appeared to have trouble at times in getting his shots inside the boundary lines, but when he bore down he displayed the same brilliance which has carried him to the very top of the tennis world.

As'will be recalled, the Australian team barely managed to squeeze through in its match against the French this year. Solves Two Problems. 'OMING to this country in 1936 Australia would meet the Unites States combination rather early. If the Americans were defeated, the Act tralians then could proceed to Europe with some degree of confidence in sur- viving long enough to realize a sum which, included with the takings here, would amount to a reasonably satis- factory total. And if, on the other hand, the U. S. L. T. A. outfit stopped the Antipodeans there would be the compensation of a fair financial re- ward and no necessity of barnstorming to Europe in order to learn that the team was not a winner. Australia, too, has serious fault to find with the different brand of tennis balls used in the various countries, each nation having a make of its own. It is argued, warrantably, it seems, that the powerful International Davis Cup Committee should decide on one standard make for Davis Cup play. e MONTROSE IS SECOND Beats Rock Creek, 6-3, to Cinch Runner-up Spot in Loop.
