SPORTS. District Open Golf < NEARLY 30 PROS - WILL SEEK TITLE' Cox of Kenwood Expectedi to Make Rivals Shoot Well to Beat Him. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ITH the affair wide open to the world, a field of nearly 30 golf pros from the mid- Atlantic sector is expected 4n the first annual District of Colum- bia open golf championship tourney, scheduled for Indian Spring next Monday and Tuesday. All the prominent mentors from clubs around Washington and Balti- more, with two or three exceptions, already have entered the 72-hole tour- nament and additional entries from Virginia and Maryland are expected to bring the entry list up to 35 or more. The purse hardly will be attractive enough to bring in a flock of the big timers, for the prospect is that only prize dough around $300 will be hung up for the affair, with about $100 to go to the top pro, a piece of money that is small change to the lads who | have been playing for $1,000 top prizes throughout the season. Practically Local Affair. O THE District open shapes up as purely a local affair, or rather a Middle Atlantic tourney, with a pos- sibility that Bobby Cruickshank, famed Richmond pro, shorn of a chance to gather in the sheaves in the National Capital open this year, will be around for the District open. Cruicky grabbed off the $600 first money in the National Capital open at Kenwood last year. If Wiffy Cox of Kenwood enters (and Tom Belshe, president of the District Golf Association, is going to try to coax Wiffy to enter), the local lads will have some real opposition, for the wise-cracking Cox can go when the checks are down. He likes the Indian Spring course, too, and, with good weather, should be no worse than 288 for the 72-hole distance, a score which would be good enough to win. Several years ago Leo Diegel won the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. over the same course with a score of 291. Another threat will be Cliff Spen- cer, the long-hitting Beaver Dam pro, who has performed sensationally in several tournaments this year and is about ready to win one. Roland Mac- Kenzie, who within a few days will celebrate his third anniversary as a golf pro, also will be no push-over in the tournament, for Rolang has been ‘banging the ball around Congressional in subpar figures for a month. Quite a few of the Baltimore lads will be over for the affair, among them Johnny Bass, the mid-Atlantic P. G. A. titleholder; Charlie Betschler, slugging Glenn Spencer and Alex Tay- lor, the gent who will head the mid- Atlantic P. G. A. next year. Course in Fine Trim.

During the year he played 61 full games and hit for an average of .326. Washington'’s Swimming Club's team of divers outclassed the all- Baltimore aggregation and won the trophy for the meet, awarded on the basis of the audience applause. Those representing Washington were A. W. Bennett, A. A. Craw- ford, C. Carrick, R. O. Eliason, E. B. Ansley and J. L. Adebdschain. Fifty-nine fatalities attributed directly to base ball occurred dur- ing 1915. Statistics show that 38 deaths were caused by bean balls, 6 players were killed in fights during and after games, 6 died of overexertion and 3 from collisions. Figures show Grover Cleveland Alexander to have been the out- standing pitcher in either league during the season. The Phillies’ + star was the only hurler to win more than 30 games, won the most shut-outs—12—and struck out more batters—233. Walter Johnson won 27 games for the fourth-place Washington club. NEW GOLF LIST OFFERED California Sponsors Capitulate to P. G. A. in Proposal. LOS ANGELES, October 25 (#).— After weeks of wrangling over the sub- ject, the Association of California Golf Tournament Sponsors has arrived at a tentative decision to offer to the Pro- fessional Golfers’ Association for ap- proval a $27.500 tournament schedule opening December 27 and running six weeks, The action amounted to an almost complete capitulation to the P. G. A. for the 1935-6 season, but the sponsors wanted it understood that the West's | preferential dates be respected by the | Professional Golfers’ Tournament Bi- reau hereafter. The schedule suggested yesterday would include: December 27-30, Pasa- dena, $4,000 open; January 4-6, Los Angeles, $5,000 open; January 10-13, Riverside, $3,000 open; January 15-19, San Diego, $3,000 open; January 24-26, Sacramento, $3,000 open; February 1-3, San Francisco $4,500 match play; February 5-7, Catalina, $5,000 open.

On that day he and Miller B. Ste- vinson, perennial best-ball champions of the club, will do battle with the challenging team of Albert R.

All sorts of rumors regarding the future of Indian Spring as a country club are going the rounds today, among them one that predicts the club will be taken over by a group of members. Interest payments on a note are due next week. The note is held by a Washington insurance group. Another rumor has it that a substantial curtailment will be asked. WIFFY COX, Kenwood pro, is sweet. on the golfing future of Lewis Worsham, the former caddie, who now is a full-fledged member of the club. “He hasn’t much power yet in his long shots, but he can knock those putts in under pressure,” Wiffy says. “He had Roger Peacock dizzy in that team match last Sunday. When the lad grows a little more (he is only 17) he will get the power he needs from the tee and he is going to be plenty tough.” Wifly, by the way, has too many things on his mind and too much to do to play in the District open cham- pionship next Monday and Tuesday. “Don’t see how I can make it,” he ve got too much to do here.” SKI LEADER IS HERE Dr. Lunn of England to Lecture on High-Brow Subjects.

SPORTS, ARBAmA R[]”_ERS Dixie Pigs Defending Margin In Intercity Bowling League SET LEAGUE PACE Take Two Games From Lucky Strike in District Loop Engagemen_t. RCADIA continues to set the pace in the District Bowling League race after taking two games from Lucky Strike last night. It was the fifth straight win for the Arcadias. Rolling top set of 1,823 the Arcadias breezed home in the first two tilts and had not Dutch ‘Weldman, the Luckies’ lead-off shoot- er, come through with a timely strike and spare in his final two frames it would have been a clean sweep for the “surprise” team of the major league campaign. Paul Harrison, lanky Arcadia ace, topped the winners with 143 and 378, while Billy LaBille cracked a stout 398. Megaw’s Bowling Decides. RED MEGAW paved the way for Heurich Brewers to takc the odd tilt from Mike Rinaldi’s Grand Cen- tral Valets when he struck and spared | in the final two frames of the last game. Incidentally, it marked the fourth time the Valets had been nipped in the last box after having a game practically in the bag. Chopping through the head pin was responsible for both teams rolling scores far under normal. Ed Blakeney's 362 was high for the tussle. At Northeast Temple Irving Bill- himer had the misfortune to foul last night. The Grand Central shooter was on a spare when for the first time in his long and brilliant bowling career he heard the toot of the line judge’s whistle. Hurd Rolls to Record.

Washington'’s own Temple Dixie Pigs, leading the pack as a result of being the only team of the eight-team loop to win four games on the opening night, must stave off the John Mar- shall Statesmen of Richmond, victori- ous in three of their five-games match with the Baltimore Recreation Cen- ter five last week. Occidental Restaurant, the other Capital entry, did as well as any other team last week by taking the odd game from Peninsula Bus, and will go to Richmond to meet the Coca-Cola Cav- aliers of the Old Dominion capital. The Richmond aggregation dropped three games to Plaza of Baltimore. While the Pigs are battling to retzin supremacy, Astor Clarke of Occidental, | will be rolling to maintain his indi- vidual laurels, garnered last week in the wake of a 665 set, six pins higher than George “Buck” Crowder of Pen- insula Bus. Clarke and Crowder tied in the high game score, each knocking off a 157. Incidentally, Occidental has a high- | team set to defend, their 3,066 pinfall | last week giving them honors in that respect.

With 582 as| high game and 1683 for the set the | Restauranters would have tied Balti- more’s Recreation mark of 678 for high team game. Other matches this week find Pl.za of Baltimore traveling to Norfolk to meet the Peninsula Bus aggregation, and Norfolk’s Health Center team coming north to meet the Recreation Center five at Baltimore. — RE-ELECT BOAT HEADS.
