“Steps Are Being Taken to MUNY GOLF NEEDS REGULAR CONTROL Capital Only Large City That Lacks Supervisory | Board for Game. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ORMATION of a District public links golf body to handle tournaments and generally surpervise municipal play may be a development of the coming ‘Winter. Discussed for many years, such an organization is badly needed in Wash- ington where today the public links golfers have no standing and are in- vited to play in tournaments only as 8 matter of courtesy. Preliminary steps to complete the organization probably will be taken next month. ‘Washington is unique among golfing cities in that it has no organized body supervising public links golf. An or- ganization was attempted 10 years ago, but did not last long and never did function. Baltimore has a public parks golf association and other cities of size comparable to Washington have their municipal links organizations. With such an organization it is certain that 8. G. Leoffier, the “little Napoleon” ot public links golf, would wholeheartedly join. Leoffler and his organization have been responsible for most of the municipal golf activities for many years. ASHINGTON women are choosing a team to go to Richmond on October 28 to play the Richmond women at Country Club of Virgina. Susan Hacker, acting president of the ‘Women's District Golf Association, is trying to work out a scheme of quali- fication for places on the team, but the details haven't yet been arranged. The invaders from the Capital have been uniformly successful in their links contests with the players from the Virginia State capital. ELEN DETTWEILER, the tall Congressional girl, made the only birdie recorded by a woman on the lengthy seventh hole at her home course during the Middle Atlantic. Helen hit two hefty shots to the edge of the green and then chipped in. The Dettweiler girl hits the ball as far as a good male hitter and plays most of the holes in much the same style and with the same clubs as the longer hitters among the opposite sex. If she could conquer the habit of hitting from the top of the swing and wait until her club reaches hitting position she probably would be the longest hitter among the women of the land, barring Babe Didrikson, who is @s long as any pro. In Chess Circles BY FRANK B. WALKER. ! E columns frequently have ) mentioned the part chess has taken in the school life of certain _communities. In Strobeck, Germany, known as the “home of chess,” the school program includes chess. It thas been played there as a pastime for 300 years. Five years ago the Mil- waukee public schools made chess a feature of the city'’s recreation de- partment, and it has continued ever since. Then mention was made that & leading school for the blind in Eng- land has fostered chess for years. The Chrissan Science Monthly for Beptember 24 contained an article on “School Chess,” setting forth its edu- cational value. It states that Russia was one of the first nations to organ- ize chess education. In 1895 the Cen- tral Chess Academy was instituted, consisting of 223 associations with more than 7,000 members. At pres- ent it is a compulsory subject in the Russian schools, and the Central Chess Academy has thousands of member associations and millions of players. In the United States, at New Bedford, Mass., the E. R. A. has been providing for chess instruction, pay- ing two experts to teach it daily. The class has 30 to 40 pupils in attendance each day. The Monitor states that the primary value of chess educa- tionally is its incomparable excellence for training logical thinking. It states that the analogy of mathematics to chess has often been stressed. The game has value as a remarkable anti- dote to any gambling tendency. The article is illustrated with the picture of the start of one of the annual girl chess championships at the Imperial Chess Club, London; picture of a bronze statue in the Tate Museum, London; Queen Elizabeth of England end King Philip of Spain playing chess and picture of a game in prog- Tess at the boys’ chess championship @t St. Bride's Institute, London. ‘The American Chess Bulletin is re- sponsible for the statement that the reason Samuel Reshevsky did not par- ticipate in the international team tournament at Warsaw was that he has not yet received his final citizen- ship. With regard to Isaac Kashdan, the magazine states that he found it impossible to go to Poland because of @ shortage of funds in the hands of the team committee.

OUR Washingten golf clubs will swing into action in the semi- final team matches of the Maryland State Golf Assocla- tion next Sunday. All the matches are listed at local clubs. Chevy Chase, winners in 1933, will meet Hillendale at Chevy Chase and are favored to win over Ernie Cald- well's club-swinging associates; Indian Spring will play Rolling Road at In- dian Spring, and Manor will clash with Kenwood at Kenwood, where the team champions will have no soft snap winning. Manor won the tourney last year. ciation hard at work starting pionship. As usual. the teams will consist of 12 men, with the pro playing at No. 1 position. THR!‘.E men have reached the semi- final round in the Washington Golf and Country Club championship, while one second-round match re- mains to be played. Reese Halr, champion of 1932 and 1933, was licked by Vivian C. Dickey in the second round by 3 and 2, while Erwin Hair, brother of Reese, advanced with a 1-up victory over James G. C. Cor- coran. In the other contest Joseph Clenahan, 3 and 2. The match be- tween John Thacker and Dorie C. Gruver remains to be played. 'WO of Washington's better par- | seeking woman golfers clashed | today in the Middle Atlantic cham- pionship final at Congressional. Reach- |ing her first big-time final round, Betty P. Meckley, winner this year of the Maryland State title and a victor in many other links events. On the basis of what happened yesterday, Mrs. Meckley should be the winner, but no one can predict what will happen in golf in a game where form is so evanescent, foot ball teams of 19352 This is a trifle soon in the season to make any set guess, but Nebraska should be one of them. So far, you might nominate Ohio State, Washingtca, Rice, Stanford, Nebraska, California, Temple, Michi- gan State, L. 8. U, Notre Dame, and maybe Alabama, North Carolina, Santa Clara, T. C. U, Pittsburgh, Navy and Princeton. And a few others may crowd some of these out. But Nebraska, with the galloping Cardwell, still is likely to be up there by Thanksgiving day. Nebraska plays Minuesota Saturday. Minnesota still is good, but it can’t be the Minnesota of 1934, with Lund, Alphonse, Kosta, Clarkson, Bevan, Larsen and others missing. Later on, Nebraska plays Pittsburgh, and, after the same fashion, Pittsburgh has lost ‘Weinstock, Weisenbaugh, Mun- Jas, Nicksick, Shotwell, Ormiston and several other stars. And not even the earnest and able Dr. Jock Sutherland can lose all that talent without feeling the jolt. In the meanwhile, Nebraska's young team of 1934 has been coming along like a Western prairie fire. You can't blame Minnesota for looking in the direction of trouble alomg the Lincoln landscape. Another Tough One. ‘HERE will be another twister in the same neighborhood on Satur- day when Colgate and Iowa pile into the pit. X The Red Raiders are moving a long way from home cooking and they are facing a team that is sure to be better than it was last season. But Iowa will find Andy Kerr’s de- ceptive attack hard to choke down. Colgate has a set of backs now well seasoned and unusually adept at 'at- eral passing. Iowa has picked up over last year, but Iowa will have to be quite good to handle Colgate. This also will be one of Colgate’s hardest games, and, if the Red Raiders can duck defeat out West, they will be something to top the rest of the season.

Boyd Morrow of Elkridge by 3 and 2 in one semi-final yesterday, while Mrs. Meckley sprung the real surpise of the tournament, whipping Lily Harper of Portsmouth, Va., in a match that was remarkable for its reversals. Two up at the turn, Mrs. Meckley dropped four straight holes to her diminutive rival and went 2 down. Then she won four of the next five holes to an- nex the match when Miss Harper's putter suddenly went haywire and she missed putts as short as a foot in length. Mrs. Meckley won on the seventeenth green by 2 and 1 in a the boys in the District cham- match that was a fine tribute to her fighting qualities. The Harper girl has made three .bids for the Mid- dle Atlantic, and has twice gone to the final. She was a favorite to win this year's event after grabbing the medal last Monday. Miss Dettweiler, the girl who upset | the champica—Mrs. David H. Clark of Army-Navy—is the lengthy slugger who holds the Congressional course record for women with a mark of 81. Mrs. Meckley scored an unofficial 79 last Tuesday.

This was prov- | | ed when more than 50,000 came out | to see Ohio State and a scrappy Ken- | tucky team last week. Foot ball delegates from that sec- tor tell me that Ohio State and Notre Dame would draw 150,000 easily if there was only parking space for that many human systems. The only factor that might dampen the happy occasion would be to have both teams beaten. This isn’t likely to happen. They both will be among the best all year and it will be a ter- rific shock to Buckeye rooters if Ohio State loses at all. It will be more than a shock. It will be a catastro- phe. If anybody can handle the job, it will be Notre Dame. And with Notre Dame, it will be a matter of building up a line that will match her backfield—probably the best back- field in foot ball, with Layden, Shake- speare, Pilney, Fromhart, Carrideo, Elder and others on top of the works. But it will take a line to give these backs a chance .against the man- power of OhiG. In the meanwhile, Ducky Pond’s Yale defense will have a large after- noon -stopping that Penn attack in one of the big games of the East. Yale has a fine pair of ends, but they will get a load of pressure before the day is over. (Copyright. 1 New: by the North American aper Alliance. Inc.)

OUISVILLE, Ky., October 11.— Shooting four strokes under par on the first 18 holes, little Paul Runyan, 130-pound White Plains, N. Y., professional and P. G. A. champion, today led the fleld with & sizzling 67 as the Louisville $5,000 open went into its second day of medal play. Runyan missed a 14-foot putt on the eighteenth hole at dusk yesterday, thereby losing an opportunity to tie the course record of 66. He zoomed around the first nine holes in 34, the second nine in 33. A stroke behind Runyan with 68 was Victor Ghezzi, holder of the Los Angeles open title. Al Zimmerman, Portland, Oreg., Northwest open titlist, and Terl Johnson of Winter Haven, Fla., tied for third with 69 each. In all a half dozen professional golfers clipped par, with other favor- ites yet to be heard from, as part of the field were grouped in first rounds today. Richard Burton, a member of the British Ryder Cup team and for- mer British P. G. A. champion, and Bill Kaiser, Louisville, each finished with 70, one under par on the Audu- bon Country Club course.

HICAGO, October 11.—This is the fifty-sixth season of in- tercollegiate foot ball at the University of Michigan and over that span of years, the Wolverines have lost just 56 games, counting the one shuffied off to Michigan State last week. The 1934 record of seven defeats in eight starts was the worst in Wolverine history, but chances are the present Since Michigan returned to the Western Conference in 1917, its cham- many of them—always were bullt around a supercenter and a great forward passer. When there was an | all-America like Vick, Blott, Morrison or Bernard snapping the ball, and passers named Uteritz, Friedman or Newman whipping spirals down field, | the men in Blue always finished on top or thereabouts in the Big Ten battles. Michigan had no outstanding cen- ter last season and it has none this year, unless Joe Rinaldi, a huge sopho- more, comes along as & passer, Cross blocker and line backer overnight, which is unlikely. Wolverine teams always have been famous for their de- fensive foot ball. Give a good Michi- gan team one touchdown and it asks for little more. In recent years it was Blott, Brown, Morrison and Bernard | who made the defense so impregnable. | ‘The Wolverines have a good passer | in Capt. Bill Renner. He's 50 good in | fact that Kipke rates him the equal of | Friedman or Newman. That may be | stretching the bow a bit, but it re; mains the man is a great passer when he has receivers and gets suf- ficient protection to make his throws. Michigan State’s linemen swarmed all over Renner and several times tossed him for heavy losses. Michigan's offense may be stronger than last year if the sophomore backs, Ritchie, Smithers and Cooper, get go- ing. Cooper, the best of the three, did not play against Michigan State. However, that will not offset the weaknesses of the line, since the ends are only fair and the tackles and guards do not measure up to that lim- ited recommendation. MAY GET TOLEDO CLUB.

Some of the boats did not land a fish, others returned with catches of 3, 6 and 8. Of course, there were some which had better luck, such as Ollie Atlas, Charlie Cohen and Benny De Ment, who landed 19 blues weighing from 3 to 7 pounds. Ollie informs us that they must have lost 40 or 50, which he at- tributes to the large hooks being used and also to inferior chum. In my party Wednesday were Dr. Charles E. O’Connor, Malcolm Major, Bob Pyle and David Davis. We went out with Capt. Albert Ward from Capt. Woodburn’s wharf more or less ex- ploring. We made straight across the bay to Hoopers Island, saw some blues breaking water and trolling for 5 or 10 minutes, landed one. Pyle hooked this fish on a Japanese feather. We then made up the Eastern Shore line to Gooses and anchored on a line be- tween the Bell Buoy, Sharps Island and the island on our right, which I think is Taylors Island. This was the place where the record catch of 118 was made last Saturday. We landed eight blues, the largest weighing 5 pounds, and lost four. Yesterday Capt. Harry Woodburn called to say that the larger catches | of blues were landed above the Gooses Wednesday. A boat captain making out from Plum Point said that the blues would be in the bay until the next northeast blow accompanied by & cold rain. We are of the opinion that this captain knows whereof he speaks. The water | still is warm, much too warm to cause the blue to leave at this time. When the blues finally make their departure there should be great rock fishing. ‘Woodburn, fishing around Cedar Point Light and inside in the river, landed 25 of this species, one weighing 92 pounds.

This may be 50, but again we say there is no better fishing grounds in the bay than Southwest Middles and that blues will be caught there long after they have left the Gooses.
