. SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHING TON, D. C, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1936 = District Golf Duffers Looking to Big Week-End of Compelition ROD AND STREAM MANY TOURNEYS DOWN FOR JULY 4 Al Local Clubs Schedule Holiday Events-—Babe Uses 16 Sticks. BY W. R. McCALLUM. NOTHER day given ever to that long-suffering sports sinner— A the golf duffer—will find events being played at all the local clubs Saturday, the second big holiday of the year. Every club has scheduled a golf affair, although some of the chairmen haven't made up their minds Just what they will be. The Chevy Chase Club will stage the second tourney for the Hungarian Cup, an 18-hole handicap affalr, with the contestants using seven-eighths of the club handicap. At Columbia, a mile away, a best ball two-man team affair is listed, while at Congressional Andy Walker will stage a flag tournament, while Chairman Bill Jones attempts to haul in some of those big channel bass at Oregon Inlet. Competition Is Varied. OVER at Washington several events are to be played, with an 18-hole handicap affair topping the program. Indian Spring will pul on a flag tourney, while at Manor a big golf day is scheduled for the lads and lassies of the Norbeck Club. There will be a match - play - against-par tournament for men, and a flag tourney for women; also & driving contest for men and a pitching contest for the feminine con- tenders. Argyle will stage a flag tournament, while a varied program of affairs will be played at Beaver Dam, including 18-hole events for men and women, and pitching and putting contests for the fair sex. Down at Charlottesville, Va., today B & near-record field of entrants, in- cluding a few from the Army-Navy Country Club, started play in the Vir- ginia State championship over the Farmington course. Morton J. Mec- Carthy, the portly Norfolk lad, who won the Middle Atlantic last year, is | listed as one of the favorites to win, along with John C. Shorey of Ken- wood. who now hails from Staun- ton, Va. Babe Praises Congressional. BAEE DIDRIKSON, the slugging | Texas girl, doesn't think that wamen ever will be the equal of men | in golf, but she has ideas about her | own capabilities. With less than two vears of golf behind her, the Babe has come along so fast that she may yet become a factor in the national | open championship, the only big event | for which she is eligible. ‘“Most women don't hit the.ball far gnough to hold their own against the t men play- ers,” she said. “But they may be able to make up for it by more skill around the greens. I hit ’em fairly far, but not as far as the big hitters among the men. But I'm going to keep at it until I really conquer this game of golf.” The Didrikson girl carries 16 golf clubs in her capacious bag. “And I use them all,” she grinned. *“You have so many good shots on this Con- gressional course I need every one of them. It's a darned good golf course.” BELLOISE BOUT LIKELY Earron Believed Ready to Risk Feather Crown Here. Rumors that Petey Sarron, world featherweight champion, rhight make his second defense of his title here in September against ranking contender Mike Belloise arose today as the cham- pion speeded up his training for his non-title go against Bobby Dean at Griffith Stadium Monday night. Dean, unbeaten in his last two years of competition, is considered one of the toughest opponents Sarron ever | has been called upon to meet. In his Jast 28 local appearances Dean has knocked out 17 foes, scored decisions over 9 others and boxed 2 draws. — TIE IN FRENCH GOLF Dallemagne’s Rally Gets 277 to Match Cotton for Lead. ST. GERMAIN, France, July 2 (#). =Marcel Dallemange, French native open champion, and Henry Cotton, the English star, finished in a tie for first in the 72-hole French open golf tourney. Dallemange shot a 66, seven under par, on the last round to match Cot- ton's total of 277. Ted Turner, Pine Valley, N. J., shot 294 for eighth place. Willie Goggin, San Francisco, finished with 297 for tenth. ——— SOUTHWEST IS VICTOR. With C. Barbour smacking a home Tun and two doubles, the Southwest A. C. routed the Petworth Flashes, 8-1, yesterday in a Boys' Club League OLF'S great melting pot was boiling merrily today down at East Potomac Park where a flock of school boys, taxi drivers, caddies, brewery workers, sports goods salesmen, chicken workers, chants and plain citizens were trying to knock the District public links championship from the bland brow of tall, skinny Claude Rippy, the em- peror of the public links game in these precincts. From any angle it looked like too tough a job for the rest of the boys to accomplish, for Rippy has his eye set not only on winning a spot on the Harding Cup team which will represent Washington in the national public links title tourney late this month, but also on the title he won last year for the first time. Needs Little Practice. FURTHEHMORE if Brother Rippy keeps on pouring the same kind of hot golf out today that he showed yesterday in topping the fleld with a 36-hole total of 141 he will be several parasangs in advance of the field. They won't need any camera eye to record the wind-up either. Rippy took over a new job as clerk few weeks ago. Being new on the job he didn't feel as if he could take much time off to play golf. So he played in the afternoon and on week ends, but he didn't get much golf in at that. It didn’t dim the luster of his game much, for any guy who can stroke the ball around courses B and C at East Potomac, as he did yesterday, in 72 and 69 whacks for the double circuit doesn’t need much practice. The 69 was & scoring gem, and a fine come- back, for he took 37 on the par 34 first nine, and then scorched the fair- ways of the tougher second nine with a blistering 32, winding up by canhing a 25-footer for a bird 3 at the eighe teenth, Burrows Is Hero. UT the real hero (or he will be if he qualifies among the first four today) is Ted Burrows, the portly poultry merchant. Ted used to play a lot of golf. Among his achievements in other years he has won the Manor Club invitation and has been runner- up at Chevy Chase. has played golf about a dozen times & year and four of those times have been trict title. Yesterday Ted showed up for his fourth round of golf this year. He didn't do so badly either, knock- ing out a 72 and a 71 for a total of 143, and second place. Ted, Rippy, Bob Burton and George Malloy were the qualifiers for the national last year, and they may make it again thisyear, but aside from Rippy and Burrows the others were in tough spots. Burton, for example, took seven whacks on a par 4 golf hole and |a 78, but he improved in the after- noon for a 71, and a total of 149. Malloy, who started out to scorch the layout, had 71 and 76 for 147, several in a downtown sport goods store a | But lately Ted | in the 72 hole tournments for the Dis- | CalLum and then, late in the afternoon, she stepped out and took the course apart with a 76, to set the new mark, playing in a game with Helen Dett~ weiler, the youngster who can do & little golf perpetrating in her own right. The Babe started in a game with Parker Nolan, Roland MacKenzie and Roger Peacock, but she stopped at the ninth after scoring & 41. An hour later she stepped off the distance in 76, which, in case you didn't know, is four over men’s par. And she didn't play the women’s tees, either. Before the week is out, the gal may get her putting stroke in gear and waltz around in 72 or better. If confidence will do it, it's in the bag. She has great gobs of that stuff they call confidence. And plenty to back it up. McLeod Is Hebbling. FR!D MCcLEOD, Columbia's 54-year- old maestro of golf, is getting around these days with what the boys call & “bum gam.”- Freddie dislo- cated a leg the other day, and while a sawbones managed to get it back in shape, Freddie doesn’t feel any too comfortable. He plays, but not too | well. And whaddye thing of getting a bird {3 on a tough par 4 hole and losing ‘rlt. That happened to E. L. Bono |on the fifteenth at Columbia. Jack Barr, his opponent, flung a mashie | shot into the hole for an eagle deuce. AL BROWN, an unattached golfer, and a guest at the Washington Golf and Country Club, has joined the army of hole-in-one makers by scor- ing an ace on the 155-yard second hole. He played the shot with a No. 6 jron. FIRPO FIGHTING AGAIN Scores Two Knockouts, Now Meets Conqueror of Loughran. BUENOS AIRES, July 2 (#).—Angel Firpo, once known to boxing circles as the “Wild Bull of the Pampas,” faces the first real test of his come- Godoy, young Chilean heavyweight, in a 10-round bout July 11. In two appearances to date, Firpo easily knocked out two fourth-raters. Godoy, cne of the leading South American heavyweights, boasts a rec- ord that includes a victory over and draw with Tommy Loughran, former world light-heavyweight title holder. POST DIAMONDERS WIN. Sreclal Dispatch to The Star ALEXANDRIA, Va,, July 2.—Scor- ing all its runs in the second inning, the Washington Post showed why it is considered the favorite in the Alexandria Commercial League when shots backs of a lot of guys who want to go to Long Island to play in the national. Included among these were lanky Pat Axtell, the erstwhile Rock Creek caddie, at 144; Barney Welsh, the cab driver, also at 144; Harold Bowers at 145; Bill Seay, and 17-year- old Raymond Willett, & Kenwood cad= die, at 146; Virgil Worsham, another Kenwood caddie and James Gipe, at 148, and Harold Ciriella, a Naval Hos- pital employe, at 149 ,tied with Serge Folk, a printer. All of them had a chance today, but the main scrap for the four places and the title lay among Rippy, Axtell, Burrows and Bowers. Didrikson Scorches Fairways. P BABE DIDRIKSON, the Texas cyclone, really gets hot at that Congressional course, where she is wowing the populace with her dis- tance-eating tee shots, she really is going to set a record that will be a record for women for that course, It stands officially at 79, but the lanky Babe already has wiped that (unofficially) off the books. And she will be around for three more days, probably with 36 holes or more a day before her. That's the way she plays. Eighteen holes of golf are merely a warm-up for the Babe. She played 18 holes yesterday in 80 whacks, just to get her hand in ——— ——— AMBK?;KBOR’ HOTEL POOL RACKETS RESTRUNG ® $2.00 ANDUP o “Washington’s Leading Tennis Store” game. 1019 15th St. N.W.

NET FINALS PLANNED SUNDAY Way to Crown Play Will Be Cleared Unless Showers Again Interfere. OSSIBILITIES of an attractive tennis “double-header” on Sunday, when two District of Columbia champlionships would be at stake, were marred only by the threat of continued rain today as players, officlals and faps alike begged the skies to stop crying. Should all of today's dozen singles and doubles matches be played per schedule, the quarter-final round of each would be completely filled, leav- ing matches in that round to be played tomorrow, the semis Saturdsy and the finals Sunday. Two semi-final singles berths will be filled as soon as clear weather permits play. Barney Welsh and Lieut. James McCue already are in the quarters, as are Hugh Lynch and Frank Shore. They were listed to play at 5 and 5:30 o'clock, respectively, this afternoon. Slated for Today. 'RED WEST of Lynchburg was scheduled to take on the winner of the Price Colvin-Hy Ritzenberg match in fourth round affair at 4 o'clock, while Dooly Mitchell and Deane Judd and Ralph McElvenny and Frank (Buddy) Goeltz were to play other fourth round assignments. Three of the four out-of-town players left in the tournament are seeded “foreigners”—Colvin, Goeltz and McCue holding that distinction. However, West, No. 1 on the Lynch- burg College team for the past two years, may give them all a surprise. Idle since Sunday, when he defeated Jimmy Moore, he sprang one of the few surprises of the tournament by eliminating Tom Mangan in straight sets on opening day. Today's schedule: Singles.

This is not merely 'a rumor, but ‘personal observa- tion. This department went fishing Tuesday and yesterday with Edgar Bowen and caught & number of the very numerous stripers which right now are playing almost anywhere in the waters between Point Lookout and Cove Point. Next to bluefish, rocks without a doubt offer the best fishing on Chesa- peake Bay. They are fighting little creatures, and have enough argument with them to® put them in the class of game fish. That they are not to be compared to blues is true, and that they cannot hold a candle to bonito or channel bass also is true, but these two last-named species are so rare that they cannot be classed with those regularly caught by the run-of-the- mine angler. And while we are watting for the blues to hit the upper section | of the bay we may practice on rocks. Our fishing yesterday was done late in the afternoon. The total catch was 66 rocks. These ran from about 1| pound to a shade over 2 pounds. That is not the best catch that has been made this season, but it does supply an afternoon’s easy angling. By all means try it. ERE'S the method usually em- ployed to bring in these striped beauties. The boatman heads for some place where they have been caught recently or where they usually are to be found. At Solomons the best place is Cedar Point. Mostly, they may be easily located from a dis- tance by the gulls which hover over them. When you get near them you | can see the rocks breaking water all | around the boat as they leap in search | of food. The gulls are there because | the small silversides, which correspond | | to our minnows here on the Potomac, | |taken by the gulls. It's a losing proposition for them whichever way | they go. You may just watch the action of the gulls and tell when a rock will |break water. The gull will drift around, then it will dip suddenly. A moment after it has dipped & rock will | break With a disappointed whipping | of his tafl, and as likely as not the gull will fly away with a silverside for a trophy which a moment before had been the prey of the rock. Most of our fish were caught yester- day between the old, abandoned light- house and the bell buoy, but a goodly number were caught out in deep water and up in the bay. A good boatman always will be on the watch | to see which direction the school heads when & sudden whim overtakes them. They may easily be located because of their habit of breaking water and be- cause of the gulls following them. usually are caught by trolling a baited lure behind a slowly- moving boat, We had the best results with the June bug spinners and biood- worms. A number were caught, how- ever, on a tandem spinner intended for fishing in fresh water for black bass, but, all in all, the June bug was found the best. Because the rocks were feeding on silversides we thought that they should be fooled by a No. 2 silver min- now (a bass and musky lure), but this experiment was that much wasted effort. A bloodworm spoils the action of the minnow, and they would not bite on a baitless lure. Other lures which are mo good are bucktails and streamer flys. It never hurts to try different baits, though. Some day you will hit on one that will prove to be a real killer, but up to now June bugs give best results. SALT-WATER tackle—18-pound line, = drag reel and a fairly strong bamboo rod—is the usual tackle equip- ment, but this department found that much more sport may be had with light, fresh-water tackle. We used a whippy tubular steel rod, 10-pound line, gut bass leader and a single ac- tion trout reel. When even a one-pounder hits that there is plenty fun in the ofing. That rod bending all over the place is a beautiful sight indeed, and is actually as much fun as fishing for blues on the heavier tackle. Not one fish was lost because of a broken line, so it would seem that 10 pounds is plenty if it has a good springy rod behind it. The only trouble with using light tackle is that some day a big fish is going to hit it and then it will be just too bad. About two ounces of sinkers are plenty. It is advisable that one of these be a keel sinker on the line just above the leader too keep from twist- ing. This is almost a necessity, as no swivel yet invented will work all the time under the pressure of trolling. Once in awhile a trout or a hard- head will take the trolled lure, and 5| seeking to escape the mouths of the | You can be sure that it is a big one. granddadies are taken by trolling.
