SPORTS. Parks and Kirkwood Appear in an Exhibition Golf Match Here Next Month OPPOSE D. C. PAR AT INDIAN SPRING Champ, Trick Shooter Meet Houghton-Diffenbaugh | Late in September. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ‘NOTHER one of those big-time exhibition golf affairs (the season has been studded with them) is going to come off at Indian Spring late in September, when Bam Parks, the lad the boys have called the fluke champion, and Joe Kirkwood, the man who picks his teeth with niblicks, will appear against Al Houghton and George Diffenbaugh, Indian Spring professional duo. It all comes in line with what ‘Houghton promised a couple of months back, when he took over the manager- ship of the Indian Spring Club. At that time Al promised a flock of ex- hibition matches, to bring the leading mashie-wielders of the Nation here for a golf match and a little coin, and the Parks-Kirkwood match will be the second of the series. Stars Here Labor Day. THE first will come off next Monduy (Labor day) at Indian Spring, when Jimmy Thompson, the burly blond from Long Beach, Calif, who pokes & golf ball further than any human biped swinging a club, will show his vindicative disposition, along with smooth-swinging, smooth-faced Henry Picard, the tall boy from Her- shey, Pa ‘Thompson is pure hate when he sees & golf ball. He has the meanest dis- position on earth when faced with an innocent little white sphere and a wide green fairway. He fairly bristles with anger when he sees this combi- nation, and all the hate in his nature concentrates on annihilating that little white pill. He does it quite ef- fectively, too, with a flourish that is all his own. No man we know could play the fifteenth and sixteenth holes at Indian Spring with a wooden-club ‘wallop and a mashie shot. But Thompson can, and probably will, if he hates his tee shot hard enough to hit it far enough. Picard s smoother. He sort of coaxes and massages & golf ball to do his will. It's all part of the Puritan tempera- ment (he was born in the shadow of Plymouth Rock), but he does it quite as effectively, without the dash and elan and fire of the Scottish-born ‘Thompson. Not a Fluke Champ. JO! KIRKWOOD has been here be- fore. Lots of pop-eyed folks have watched the irrepressible one from Australia pick rabbits out of hats and make three golf balls bloom where one grew before, but few Washing- tonians have seen Sam Parks hit a | golf ball. | ‘They have called Parks a fluke champion and a lucky champion, and | 80 on, all of which is true, barring the fluke part. Any man is lucky to win the national open crown, but no guy is lucky who lives and almost sleeps on a golf course preparing him- self for the biggest test of the year. That's what Parks did at Oakmont and that is one of the reasons he won. That and the fact that he got obstinate and refused to fold up when the guys with big reputations were blowing shots all over the landscape. The date hasn’t yet been set for the Parks-Kirkwood affair. But Houghton says it is all set and 81l that remains is to line up the date with others in which Parks will show his stuff. It will probably be around S8unday, September 22. HUNT IN NATIONAL PLAY| Ry | Will Meet Thompson at Start .t; Forest Hills.

SE of gill nets in Chesapeake Bay was declared a violation of the law yesterday in a de- cision handed down in the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court at Annapolis by Judge Linwood L. Clark. The ruling was made in the case of ‘W. C." Jackson, fisherman, of Tilgh- man Island, who was charged with *fishing by use of destructive device hauled by power boats,” Jackson was fined $25, but his equipment was not confiscated. Jack- son’s counsel announced an appeal would be taken to the three judges of the fifth judicial circuit. The appeal ¢annot go to the Court of Appeals since it originated in a magistrate’s eourt and its appearance before Judge Clark is considered as an appeal from the ruling of the lower court. Judge Clark christened this method of fishing and called it a “circular #ill net,” it having no name. Holding that the only logical approach to the Question was to compare the net as used with the nets prohibited by law, Judge. Clark declared that by this standard it must be put “in the de- structive class within said law.” Pointing out that the law “says nothing about this old and apparently forgotten method of encircling the #chool with a gill net,” Judge Clark said: “It is the failure of the law to make #pecific reference to this old former use of the gill net, superseded many §ears ago, that has given this court trouble in getting at the legislative intent of this ‘method of fishing’ sec- tion of the law. “The court is, however, definitely of $he opinion that the legislative intent ‘was not to prohibit the only common- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Marlboro Host to Sizable Throng as Nearby Racing Returns BN ot £o 1‘ Here's part of the crowd of 5,000 that turned out yesterday for the inauguration of the Fall turf season hereabout as the five-day meet of the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association got under way. MRS. VARE PICKED 10 WIN GOLF TITLE Upsets Remove Jean Bauer, Lucille Robinson, but Path Still Is Thorny. ~ BY PAUL MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. INNEAPOLIS, August 28— battleground of one of the hardest-fought national open Interlachen Country Club, championships five years ago, was the | scene of what offered every indication of a stirring struggle for the national women'’s golf title today. Over its rolling fairways, engaged in hand-to-hand battle for quarter- final berths, were 16 stars from 11 States and Canada, and their abilities appeared so evenly matched that not one had a rose-covered path ahead of her. Seeking Sixth Crown. MRS GLENNA COLLETT VARE of Philadelphia, hot in pursuit of her sixth national title since 1922, was the pronounced favorite, but even she was confronted by a dangerous opponent in Fritzi Stifel, Wheeling, W. Va., girl, who produced two big upsets yesterday by defeating Lucille Robinson of Des Moines, 1 up in 20 holes, and Jean Bauer of Providence, | R. 1, tournament medalist, 2 and 1. Topping the upper bracket, matched against each other, were two members of the tournament’s “big five” Charlotte Glutting of West Orange, N. J, for years a prominent contend- er, and the sensation ‘of 1935 golf, Marion Miley of Lexington, Ky. Mrs. Opal 8. Hill of Kansas City, always close but never quite able to burst into the throne room, was chal- lenged by a fine young player, Mrs, ;‘mnk Goldthwaite of Fort Worth, ‘ex, The only member of the “big five” | who appeared to have s wide edge was Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews of Coral Gables, Fla., who met Marian McDougall, a youngster from Mil- waukie, Oreg. Miss McDougall was anything but a set-up, however. Girls Thill Home Town. COM‘E what may, the home folks of Minneapolis have had their thrill out of the show. Four Minneapolis girls, ranging from 17 to 23, had sur- vived, setting a record for one city's representation in the third round. They were Beatriee Barrett, Mrs. Aus- tin Pardue, Patricia Stephenson and Patty Berg. The word was out to watch’Miss Berg, a 17-year-old girl with a thou- sand freckles and as many good shots in her bag. Ada Mackenzie, perennial Canadian champion, was Canada’s remaining threat. Her opponent today was the same Patty Berg. NATS SEEK FRIDAY GAME. Jack Pry Nats want a game for 1 o'clock Friday. Call West 2446, public demand for good fish, or the ancient and honorable method that you and other fishermen in this State are following. The underlying theory of this legislation is the protection of the food-fish supply. In this the law not only protects the consuming pub- lic, but the fisherman. “If the law does more or less than intended by those who made it, the remedy is repeal or amendment. In a few months there will be a special session of the Legislature, and if you can convince them, as you have not convinced the court, that the ‘circu- lar gill net' should be expressly ex- cepted from the provision of said law, | that will be your privilege.” Fishing experts from all sections attended the trial, which opened last Friday. The arrests were made by the Maryland Conservation Depart- ment and Attorney Myer Rosenbush, noted authority of Maryland fishing law of Baltimore, assisted in prosecut- ing the case. STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE by W. SIXTY-EIGHT without a five on his card. Obviously a guy A in four better than par isn't getting a flock of 5s anywhere along the route, but the round Roland Mac- Kenzie had at Congressional is one that you seldom hear about. It was done without a single 5. All the young man had was deuces, treys and fours, barring one 6. Some day soon he is going to bust his own mark of 68, but so far over two years of playing at Congressional his low- est mark is 68. He has had a half Wxfl% the big Kenwood pro can bowl its way to the hole. dozen of those, and each time has had & chance to crack the mark, only to run into an expensive hole somewhere. Par for the course is 72, and even in these days of fast fairways that par is tough. Not so tough that it can’'t be busted, however, if you believe “Steve” Crom- well. For Cromwell, playing in a match yesterday with Troy Car- michael, Billy Dettweiler and Claggett Stevens, bagged three birds in a row, starting at the fourth. He grabbed & 3 on the fourth, a 4 on the par-5 fifth and ended the parade with an- other bird 3 on the sixth. Cromwell and Stevens licked Carmichael and Dettweiler, even though Billy, who failed to qualify for the national ama- teur last week, bad a 73. EN‘I’RXFS for the Southport open tourney, first of its kind to be held on the private course of Prof. R. W. Bolwell, discloses that most of the better mashie-wielders around Washington will play in that forth- coming affair next Sunday. The amateurs will play in the morn- ing, while the pros will do their stuff in the afternoon over the nine-hole course built at Southport, Md., by the George Washington Univcnlty tutor. Par for the layout is 27 strokes and the betting is that it won't be broken. Dr. Larry Otell, Frank K. Diamond Dust PUBL!G WORKS and G. P. O, deadlocked in the two-out-of- three play-off for the Departmental League championship, will battle it out for the title tomorrow at 5 o'clock on the South Ellipse diamond.

TRACK MEET HERE LURES 1,700 GIRLS 'Representatives of 65 Play- grounds to Compete To- morrow at Central. NLY a matter of hours remain before Central High's cinder path and athletic field be- come the scene of another playground track meet, but this time it's the girls that will take over the spotlight. ‘Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock the girl conference champions from all the city’s playgrounds will hold their annual city-wide track meet, and at this hour, Miss Maude Parker, as- sistant supervisor of playgrounds in charge of girls' activities, couldn't name the winner if you offered her the captaincy of the United States women's Olympic team. Of course, Virginia Avenue always must be considered when the pastime of picking the victor is essayed. Not only because it is the defending cham- plon, but because it has little Willie O'Steen, smiling, round-faced, all- around athlete. Miss O'Steen, you re- member, won the girls’ playground tennis championship a month ago, and her track abilities are no less ex- tensive than those she showed on the court. But limiting the “award” of the title to Virginia Avenue is to forget Rosedale, with its Simond sisters, and the countless other 1,700 girls that will be cavorting about Central’s spa- cious fleld, representing the 63 other playgrounds. Every one of them will have but one vision—that of Miss Parker presenting the silver loving cup to their playgrounds. GRAY HEADS BOWLERS Norman A. Gray of Indian Office will head the Interior Department Bowling League this season, with James R. Wannan, Secretary’s Of- fice, as vice president, and Henry Billings as secretary and treasurer. | It will be Billings’ ninth term. The league may be combined with the Public Works circuit, many of the | 1atter’s bowlers having been sent out on field service. A change of home alley is expected, a committee having been appointed to do some ‘‘shop- ping” for new drives. There were 12 teams in the loop last year, but more are expected this time. SPORTS.
