" D2 Middle Aétlantic Golf CAPITAL WITHOUT VICTOR IN 7 YEARS Won Six Times in Row, Then Richmond and Baltimore Smashed Monopoly. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ASHINGTON no longer is the center of the better golfers in the Middle At- lantic sector, if you go by the records of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association. Where a decade ago Washington golfers completely dominated the Mid- dle Atlantic area, the representatives of Baltimore, Norfolk and Richmond have succeeded in grabbing the premier sectional crown for seven consecutive years right from under the noses of our better club wielders. Morton J. McCarthy of Virginia Beach is the present title holder, but he probably isn't any better as a golfer than sev- eral of our leading par busters, even though not one of them has been able to win' the mid-Atlantic crown since 1928 It shows how the neighboring cities have risen in production of winning golfers to view the ancient old cup which is the main prize in the Middle Atlantic Golf Association champion- ships.

Here O'Mahony is shown working on Donovan with a combination arm and wristlock. MacKenzie, Walter Tuckerman, George J. Voigt, Harry G. Pitt and Clff Mc- Kimmie—won those championships to the almost complete exclusion of the links representatives of the other towns, but of late years the boys from the Capital haven't been doing much winning. Indeed, Harry Pitt was the 1ast Washington man to win the title, which he accomplished in an extra- hole final rourd back in 1928. Title Eludes Peacock. SINCE that time Richmond has won the major portion of the tourna- ments won by representatives from any one city, with Billy Howell winning twice in a row and Bobby Riegel win- ning the title once. Baltimore also won the tournament twice, with Ernie Caldwell winning in 1932 and Dave Crook victorious in 1933. Does all this mean that Washing- ton is slipping in so far as production of winning golfers is concerned? Prob- ably it does not, for at a guess Roger son, Eddie Brooke, Albert and Rolandi Field Hockey UST two weeks ago they told Jenny Turnbull, one of Wash- J ington's best girl athletes, that she was through with sports until next Spring.

And the final round at Hermitage in 1924 between Walter Tuckerman and Clff McKimmie, won on the last hole. Or the round of 68 shot by Ernie Caldwell at Columibia in 1932, when he couldn’t miss a putt. COURT GAMES WANTED.

Clampitt’s Pin Mark Wasted As Valet Five Beats Brewers ILL CLAMPITT, the Grand Central Valet and Occidental Restaurant teams today are sharing the limelight of Wash- ington’s major league rolling, as each played feature roles in the District League last night. The Heurich Brewers' star estab- lished a season record set of 453, five pins under the all-time mark of Maxie Rosenberg, when he scattered the maples for games of 155, 150 and 148. A second season record went by the boards when Mike Rinaldi's Valetmen rolled a set of 1,909, which bettered their own mark by 15 sticks. The champion Occidentals moved into first place in another of the high- lights, It was a battle from start to finish at Lucky Strike between the Heurichs and Grand Centrals. The latter club was off to a winning start, rolling 618 to 605. Clampitt's second big string of 150 proved the wallop that gave the Brewers the second skirmish, 648 to 640, while Joe Freschi threw in a 163 to give the Valetmen the odd tilt. Heurich's set total was 1,869, | high for the season. But Clampitt’s mark was not the only heavy scoring. Inspired by his Dixie Stakes victory, Freschi cut loose with 417, while Johnny Anderson and Lou Pantos, his Grand Central team- | loped Baltimore nearly as much, 8-0. | So we have more than a chance. Washington's team will line up with the same qutfit that played at Mont- clair. That included Hazel Sayre and Betty S8ands, who impressed Jersey officials so much that both were chosen for the Southeastern reserve team, which played in Cleveland’s na- tional tournament last week. The lat- ter, they say, played almost a perfect | game at goal at Montclair. Miss | | Sayre, though not flashy, is one of the | most dependable players on the squad. G. P. 0. RALLY DECIDES. Staging a last-quarter rally, G. P.O. handed the Bureau of Standards quint a 23-19 defeat last night as the United | States Government Basket Ball League | | swung into its second week of action. In other games P. W. A. trimmed Loans and Currency, 34-13, and H. O. L. C. triumphed over Indian Bureau, 20-14. Astor Clarke’s bid for the league leadership was enhanced when he led the Occidentals to a sweep over Con- | vention Hall with a stout 404. Harrison backed this heavy up with 375, Joe | scoring Almost unbeatable for many weeks, Arcadia relinquished its hold on first place when Lucky Strike snared the off game by four sticks. Al Woods’ 141 and 373 paved the way for the Luckies” win. Mabelle Hering, Convention Hall's anchor shooter and captain, won a free entry in the Chesapeake Stakes by rolling 319 at Arcadia last night. Her second game of 130 put her over. Lois Clopton and the world-record- smashing doubles duo of Helen Rand- lett and Olivia Schmidt, members of Bill Haskins’ Richmond Health Cen=- ter team, will journey to Atlanta Sat- urday to participate in the annual John Blick Southern Women's Sweep- stakes. 6,000 TIRES GOODYEAR Star Determined To Aid D.
