THE German-American Club of New York, which won the team prize last year, also will defend its honors, with Mel Porter, who finished third in The Evening Star marathon on May 30, heading the invaders. Porter likely will be second choice to win the race, with Agee, one of the country’s strongest runners up to 15 miles, as the hot favorite. Por- ter was the runner-up last year, with & teammate, Larry Cece, third. Harry Helme will be assistant di- rector of the race. The race com- mittee is headed by Walter Irey.

June 20. | — America’s aquatjc stars heightened Uncle ' Sam's Olympic hopes here today when they bettered one world and | two American long course marks in the National A. A.

Another Title to Flannagan. RALPH FLANNAGAN of the Great- er Miami Swimming Club, winner of the mile championship yesterday, added another title today by taking the 440-yard free style in 4:48.6. The other American record was made in the 220-yard breast stroke when John Higgins, Olneyville Boys’ Club, Providence, R. I, cut through the Birdland Pool waters in 2:43.3. Yale’s crack quartet won the 880- yard relay, fourth championship event on the program, in 9:22.5. The De- troit A. C., defending champion and record holder at 9:21.6, was second, with Lake Shore A.

By the Associated Press. AVENPORT, Iowa, June 20.— Rangy Ray Mangrum of Dayton, Ohio, backed up his spectacular introductory 66 with another par-smashing round of 67 today for an amazing 36-hole total of 133, to cling to the lead in the annual Western open golf title battle at the halfway stage. The hilly, sun-baked Davenport Country Club layout looked just the same today as it did yesterday as far as Mungrum was concerned, but it didn't look much tougher to Ralph Guldahl, raw-boned Los Angeles pro- Guldahl matched the Day- maker’s 67, to rocket into an extremely threatening second place at 135—just two strokes back. A SIZEABLE distance back, but not out of the running for the $500 first prize money, with 139 strokes, came Horton Smith, lanky Chicago pro, who added a one-under-par 70 to his 69 of yesterday; the veteran Mac- Donald Smith of Nashville, Tenn., who stepped up his pace to a great 67 after an opening 72, and “Light Horse” Harry Cooper. Cooper pounded out a 69, two under even figures. Lawson Little of San Francisco and Chicago, the 1934 and 1935 American and British amateur titleholder, now in golf as a business, who finished sec- ond to Mangrum with a fine 67 yes- terday, needed 73 strokes today and was tied with Tony Penna of Chicago at 140, NETMEN TRUE TO FORM ITH but little space and less time to have touched upon aught but the high lights of the City of Washington boys’ and junior tournament which The Star has been conducting at Edgemoor for the last four days, it well behooves us to cast a restospec- tive glance at this competition, which, for in- Jecting freshness into a traditional game, is unsur- passed. But, before re- lating a few of the incidents which reflect the character of — these kids, we must pause and pay tribute again to the sports- manship of one Edith Clarke, who had a part in all three title matches of the women's division of the same tournament. Edith, you see, could have assured herself and her mixed doubles part- ner, Tom Markey, of their eventual championship one point sooner than they did on Wednesday had she chosen to follow the counsel of the other three players on the court. Leading, 5—2, and at match point in the second set with the Robin- sons, Marge and Stan, one of the Robinsons’ returns came whistling down the alley close to the sideline. To the Robinsons, and to Markey, it appeared out, and both “losers” came running to the net for the congratu- latory handshakes. The umpire, how- ever, called the ball “good,” and then arose protests—by three players. They were sure, they told him, the ball was out and the match was over. But Edith said, “He called it ‘good.” Let’s play.” Edith took the next point and the match was over. And on no disputed ‘2055%’”0[“ Pierce Mill and Rock Creek Winldeclslon.

COLLIER STILL STAR Declared Through 2 Years Ago, Fee Is Ace for Heurichs. ‘Two years ago they said Fee Collier was through as a sandlot ball player. ‘Today, Collier is catching regularly for one of the best independent nines in town and looks good for many more years. Indeed, it's been the hit- ting of the chubby 38-year-old re- ceiver that has kept the Heurich Brewery nine in the lead in two leagues and his wisdom has steadied every pitcher on the squad. A father of four children and a veteran of 20 years in sandlot base ball and foot ball, Collier boasts a current batting average of .341, and has cémmitted fewer errors than any other man on the club. BATTLE AT COLESVILLE. A close game is expected on the Colesville diamond at 3 o'clock today when the Colesville Cardinals enter- tain the Rockville A. C. Each team N daughter of the Marine colonel would have it. AMONG those now in the discard, having been eliminated long since from the junior singles, are two who promise to go far in D. C. tennis circles, once they have attained the age and size of major opponents. Billy Turner, one of Tom Frydell's proteges while the latter was Colum- bia’s pro, without a doubt has one of the brightest outlooks for the fu- ture of any boy in the District. Pos- sessing a brilliant stroking game and a good serve, Turner won four sets without losing a game before he bowed to Harry March in the quarter- finals Friday. Turner’s second victim, moreover, was Miguel Nunez, who the day previous had eliminated Mac Hatch, one of Western High's best | tennis players of recent years. And when Turner carried March to 5—7 in the second set it was only indica- | tive of the fight which the youngster | was capable of putting forth every time he stepped on the court. The other loser to impress in de- feat was courageous little Dewitt Smith, one of Edgemoor’s best junior | players. Smith had won two deuced | matches by scores of 6—4, 6—4, and | 8—7, 6—4, and when he went up against Allie Ritzenberg in the quar- | ters there were many in the crowd pulling for, and not entirely without | hope of, an upset. How strong a fight he gave the seeded No. 1 player is seen in the score of 6—4. The cases of Harry March, Charley Channing, David Johnsen and Ralph Adair need no further analysis, their feats well known by their past suc- cesses. A COUPLE of boy players in The! Star’s tournament have appeared who warrant future consideration through their accomplishments in their first major tournament. Maurice Cowan, singled out by Col. John Mc- Clintock, chairman of the National Scholastic Committee, who has been on the scene each day, was perhaps the | best “find,” although he lost to Billy | Zeller, the seeded No. 1 player. the first day. That defeat, however, came only after scores of 6—3, 5—7, 6—3, leading Inot only to his own encouragement but the encouragement of the colonel, who travels about the country with an eye toward developing the best kids he sees. Then, too, there is chubby Bob Kirk, the 13-year-old boy who rode the street car from the northeast section of the | semi-final round. GEHRIG GAINS T0P IN MAJOR HITTING JTravels at .652 Clip for Week to Run Season’s Average to .395. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, June 20—Larrup- ing Lou Gehrig, the New York Yankees' iron-man first base- man, hit the ball at a 652 clip during the past week to outclass any other batter in base ball's big-time and move into the lead in the big-league hitting race. His feat of collecting 15 safe blows in 23 trips to the plate boosted his average 29 percentage points to .395, giving him not only the American League pace-setting position, but the edge in both loops. At the same time, Stu Martin, the | St. Louis Cardinals’ clouting rookie. | | held onto the National League lead, | but he lost 14 points, dropping to .377 by getting only 9 hits in 29 times up. GEHRIG replaced Billy Sullivan of the Cleveland Indians in the American League lead, the Tribe's young catcher falling off sharply from 411 to 377 by hitting safely only 6 times out of 26. Stu Martin’s closest rival in the Na- tional League was still Johnny Moore of the Phillies, who, although out all week with injuries, retained second place with .360.

M’Leod and Hinshaw Gluttons For Golf on OSE “old” men of Columbia, Fred McLeod and Willlam W. Hinshaw, who haven’t much else to do but play golf, are in the middle of setting a modern record for continuous golf play, which may run the string well beyond any- thing ever done before around Wash- ington before Summer heat cuts off their days of continuous play. Hinshaw, the 70-year-old former grand opera executive, who has taken up golf with a will to go somewhere and is getting there fast, has played Columbia 72 out of the last 73 days, which stretches his record out to well over two months. The odd day it rained. McLeod, the 54-year-old club pro, who has been at Columbia for 24 years, one of the oldest active pros in America, and one with the longest tenure on one job in the country, has played 70 days out of 73 at Columbia, but has piled up even a longer record for the number of rounds played. The McLeod has played 117 rounds of golf in 73 days, doubling up 47 times to go the 36-hole route. Fred missed two days while he was away attending the national open championship at Bal- tusrol, but even there he found time for a round at Deepdale with Gil Nichols. And he missed two days at twin bill at Shady Oak. The first fray will get under way at noon. a Columbia Links qualify at Hillendale for the national open championship. All in all, the golfing record of these two men, both well past their youth, is something to marvel at. Many men at their age hardly can play three rounds & week, but they keep on ap- parently forever. And they don’t play 50 badly, either. Hinshaw whacks the ball around Columbia consistently in better than 80, sometimes getting down as low as 73, while McLeod's ability is well known. The Columbia master has had a flock of sub-70 scores re- cently, and has been down as low as 65. “It’s getting so that hitting the ball is mechanical with me,” says Fred. “I just pick up the club and let it fall; away goes the ball and I have a putt for a birdie.” How many people wish they could do the same thing? “But it is tiring to play 36 holes a day for a couple of weeks in a row,” ds Fred.
