SPORTS. G \ THE EVENI STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1985. SPORTS. A—18 " Columbia Golf Teams’ Rivalry Is Warm : Henson Outshines Horseshoe King TIWO SQUADS TIED . FORLEADINLOOP Pace-Setters Pressed by One Linkswoman’s Group in Competition. BY W. R. McCALLUM. UNNING smoothly along through a Summer of com- petition, seven groups of golf- ers within Columbia Country Club are nearing the end of an inter- club schedule that has kept more than two-score players busy each Sunday in team matches. The first team, composed of the leading players of the club, now is in a tie for the lead with the fifth team with a couple more matches to go, but both are being closely pressed by the women's team. The matches started on May 12 end will wind up late in September and the peculiar part of it all, accord- ing to Red Banagan, assistant pro and starter for the matches, is that not a single match has been post- poned because of rain. “These matches are giving every one a lot of fun—and are great sport,” Red said. “Fwpe they keep up. We have been lucky this year in not having a postponed match because of rain.” George M. Ferris heads the first team, while the women's team Is headed by Mary Minnix. At the end of the matches a cup will be pre- sented to the winning outfit by the Golf Committee. How Teams Have Fared. ERE is the standing of the teams at present, with the number of matches played: First team, 45 points, 4 matches played; second team, 36 points, 5 matches played; third team, 35 points, 5 matches played; fourth team, 30 points, 4 matches played; fifth team, 45 points, 5 matches played; sixth team, 31 points, 4 matches played; womends team, 43 points, 5 matches Pplayed. Next Sunday the first and fourth teams are slated to meet. The matches are played on a club handi- ¢ .p basis and the handicaps are kept strictly up to date. Banagan sees to thet. He has a line on every golfer who leaves the first tee, knows how h: plays and what he scores. Manorites at Pine Valley.

Mrs. Clarke has been unable to play during most of the Summer, but lately she has been practicing over the Army- shot. Navy course and, according to the books in the golf shop, has been get- , ting around in figures that spell trou- ble with a capital T for her rivals in the forthcoming mid-Atlantic joust at Congressional. ‘The girl whom she beat for the Middle Atlantic last year—Lily Har- per of Po uth, Va.—qualified among the leaders in the women’s na- zlcml tourney at Minneapolis yester- ay. Army-Navy golfers will go to Rich- mond on September 7 to meet the Country Club of Virginia team in a match over the James River course. Maj. C. M. Beck has been named to succeed Maj. Richard K. Sutherland as golf chairman at Army-Navy. Maj. Beck is going to start a series of tournaments at the service club begin- ning early in September. Entries are being received at East Potomac and Rock Creek Parks for the “uptown” tourney to be played next week at Rock Creek, where Ed Burns, course manager, expects a rec- ord list of 100 or more contestants. An 18-hole qualifying round on Tuesday, September 3, will be fol- lowed by four match play rounds, with the final in all flights slated for Sep- tember 6. PROS of this sector will gather at Indian Spring, September 30, to compete for the mid-Atlantic match play title now held by Charles P. Betschler of Hillendale. They held a meeting yesterday at Rolling Road and settled on the date, and also chose Rolling Road as the scene on Beptember 6 of the sectional qualifica- tion rounds for the P. G. A. cham- plonship. Two of their number, in addition to Al Houghton, will repre- sent this sector in the national P. G. A. championship at Oklahoma City, starting October 17. Houghton is automatically eligible because of his good showing in the 1934 tournament at Buffalo. Before their meeting the boys staged a little golf tournament and watched one of their number who is rapidly winning his spurs on the golf course grab the major slice of the prize dough. The man is Leo Walper, who presides over a driving course at Bethesda, Md.. Leo shot himself & form-fitting 70 at Rolling Road to win the pro and teamed with Charlie Betschler to grab the pro-pro best ball affair with a mark of 67 ‘whacks. Second place went to Mel Shorey ‘of East Potomac Park, and Carrol & | bowling history of the Capital, is back Stocking Returns to Bouwling Whirl as Silver Spring Boss ARLE D. STOUKING, who, as a$ battling president of the Wash- ington City Duckpin Associa- E tion and later a progressive alley manager, did much to mold the with a headful of ideas, this time as pllot of the Silver Spring plant. Stocking recently returned to the | Capital from Norfolk where, as the | manager of a leading maple establish- ment, he accomplished a lot to de-| velop the sport. Through his gflorba} the National Duckpin Bowling Con- | gress champlonships were taken to the | Virginia port in 1932 and will be held there next year. For two years Stocking has sought | to return to Washington, and now here promises to be a building influ- ence, not only in the Capital's bowling affairs, but those of the country. The St. Patrick’s day doubles, a national event originated by him, comes with Stocking from Norfolk to Silver Spring. Gifted in the art of stirring interest, | it was Stocking who “brought out” the famous Ida Simmons of Norfolk, who last season was ranked not only the | country, but the most valuable to her team. Miss Simmons will appear in a number of Silver Spring programs. Stocking plans a flashy reopening of the suburban plant, in®which a num- ber of national stars will assist. Incidentally, he will have Sunday bowling at Silver Spring starting Sep- tember 8. EARLE D. STOCKING.

The league expects to in- | crease its membership from six to eight or ten teams. All women inter- ested in bowling are invited to attend. Officers will be elected and rules adopted. Cup matches will be played. They left yesterday by automobile and will be back in town Thursday or Friday. Among those who went along to Pine Valley were Harry G. Pitt, Al Treder, Dr. L. F. Souders, Ralph P. Gibson, J. William Harvey, jr., C. B. Putnam, R. McK. Clayton, Bill Jones, Dr. L. G. Pray, and Ed Carver. Harry Pitt views the Pine Valley trip as good experience for his forth- coming test in the national amateur championship. “Any one who can play that Pine Valley course can play any course,” Harry says. The big Manor champ and Hick- man Greene, the other Manor quali- fler for the national, plan to leave Washington on September 4 for Cleveland. Most of the other local qualifiers will leave about the same time to get in three or four days of practice in advance of the tourney. NET WIN ANNIVERSARY.

Notice how he has kept his head down on this mashie of Woodholme, who George Diffenbaugh and and Volney Burnett (amateur) of Three-score caddies were battling today at Kenwood for %our places to represent Washington in the chase for the national caddie champion- ship, with Lewis Worsham, 17-year- old Kenwood bag toter, safely en- sconced in the lead following the first round of the 36-hole tourney yes- terday. Worsham shot a 76, to grab a 4- stroke advantage over his nearest competitor, who was V. Ruffo of Congressional. Vergil Worsham and Ernie Garlem of Congressional and Columbia were third with 81s. Gar- lem was a member of the OCentral High School golf team last Spring. MOS’I‘ of our better pros and & smattering of amateurs are to gather at Southport, Md., just back of Indian Spring, next Sunday to compete in a little private tourna- ment to be staged by Prof. Bolwell on the picturesque little 9-hole course. The amateurs will play in the morning, while the pros will compete in the afternoon for cash prizes, Par for the course is 27, and invi- tations have gone out to a group of amateurs and to all of the pros. The women's natifonal champion- ship, if you can believe a long-range forecast from Maureen Orcutt Crews, lies among Glenna Collett Vare, Mrs. Louis D. Cheney, Charlotte Glutting and Marion Miley. Tagged with the earmark of the Florida year-round clubs, a publicity blurb comes today quoting Maureen as choosing these four as the group from whom the new champion will come. Maureen doesn’t pick herself, but she is one of the brightest of the stars who started at match play at Interlachen today.

Spectal Dispatch to The Star. OLINE, Ill, August 27.—Olay- ton C. (Boo) Henson, former horseshoe champion of the metropolitan area of Wash- ington, today was hailed as a poten- tial winner of the world title follow- ing a brilliant exhibition at Spring- fleld, Ohlo, yesterday in which he out- shone Ted Allen, present wearer of the crown, who wil defend it in a tourna- ment here starting Thursday. In & team match at Springfleld, with Henson, Temple Jarrell, Mary- land champion, and Roy Wilson, ‘Washington star, opposed to Allen, Evans and McCarthy, Henson had the high game of 88 per cent ringers and Allen the second best of 84, The East- erners were beaten, 341 to 336, with the match tight all the way. Henson Feared Dark Horse. ENSON, three- time winner of The Washington Evening Star tourna- ment, one of the game's leading events, is regarded as the strongest dark horse in the world tournament, which is sponsored by the National Horseshoe Pitchers’ Association. He comes here with a record of having pitched 38 consecutives ringers in in- formal competition, & remarkable feat if not a world mark. In this perform- ance Henson barely missed having a streak of 45. His thirty-ninth shoe bounced from the peg and he threw on six more in a row. If he holds his current form he is bound to qualify in the big tourna- ment starting Thursday. The pitchers will throw two rounds of 100 shoes each, with the better 100 counting in the qualification test. The high 24 each playing the others one 50-ppint game. The latter competition begin Friday and continue mmg{ll *ma’g“ and Wilson there is 0N/ re, this year's winner at mum who turned up unex- pectedly. Only Henson of the four has had experience in world championship play, and his was scant. After a fatiguing journey and no rest he failed to qualify at Chicago last year. In view of his victory over Henson in The Washington Star final, Frye is not regarded lightly by the brilliant Moline fleld. Both he and Henson have pitched ringer percentages that would win any tournament, . Henson, Jarrell, Wilson and Hen- son’s brothes, Beymour, riding in Wilson's car, had a narow escape when a wheel came off the machine. | None was injured, but the travelers were held up 10 hours. STARBOAT EVENT CLOSE e Champ Has Slim' Lead, Squalls Due in International Race. NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., August 27 (P)—With storm warnings hoisted along the Bouthern California coast- line, skippers could expect anything from a squall to a full galle in today's fourth race of the 1835 imternational star boat championships. The 2-point lead held by Defend- ing Champion Hook Beardslee looked slim as the 16 entries went to the line for the race, yet his Balboa Yacht Club boat, BY-C, has as much chance to profit by tricky weather as the rest. Point standings of the five leaders were: BY-C, 45; Ace (Adrian Iselin), ‘Western Long Island, 43; Three Star Too (Glenn Waterhouse), San Fran- cisco, 35; Star Dust (William Shee- han), Chesapeake Bay, 35; Gemini IT (8.
