Paralleling the singles procedure, three quarter-final doubles matches were scheduled for 6 o'clock today. Welsh and McElvenny were to play Hugh Trigg and Max Kay, while Lynch and Latona met Bill Buchanan and Stan McCaskey, winners to be opponents tomorrow. In the other bracket Mitchell and Tom Markey are to face Ed Mather and Larry Phillips for the right to meet Colvin and Alex Keiles of Baltimore, who reached the semi-final round yester- day. Colvin and Keiles attained that berth almost as easily as Lynch was | whipping Frank Shore to become the first singles finalist. While the former Princeton net captain astounded with a 6—0, 6—1 rout of the former junior champion of the city, the Baltimore pair vanquished the two “Buddies"— Adair and Goeltz—6—4, 6—3. Goeltz, somewhat weary from his etrenuous three-set affair with Me- Elvenny, which ended in victory for the latter, 1—6, 6—4, 6—4, dropped out of the running after a week in which he had been one of the non- resident group’s most promising threats. Mitchell Hard Pressed. hIrEL\'ENNY's match with Mitch- ell now looms as an even bat- tle, especially in light of the hard time which Mitchell had in defeat- ing Deane Judd yesterday. Always one to force the favorites to the limit, Judd took & 7—5 set from Mitchell after dropping the first at 6—2. And despite the 6—2 score of the third set, Mitchell never was permitted to ease up.

Fantastic? Maybe. But it isn't at all outside the realm of probability, when you cast a feverish eye over the stunt the young man from Shelby, N.

McCue’s most notable accomplish- ment has been his three-set defeat of Tom Markey, fifth seeded local player. McCue was ranked fourth among the out-of-towners at the start of the tournament. Welsh and McElvenny should get their severest test in the doubles competition against Lynch and La- tona tomorrow, while Mitchell and Markey face the toughest of the two other teams in the lower bracket to- day. Phillips and Mather have formed e formidable combination and may extend the second seeded team to the limit. STYMIE RULE IS OUT Massachusetts Golf Association to | Play Without Hazard. BOSTON, July 3 (#).—Charles E. Mason, president of the Massachusetts Golf Association, has announced that his organization would eliminate the stymie from all championship tour- naments under its jurisdiction this year. Mazson explained that elimination of the rule would be a test case for the purpose of observing its practical working out in tournaments of im- portance. TITLE TO D'ALLEMAGNE His 139 Beats Cotton by Stroke in French Golf Play-Off. B8T. GERMAIN, France, July 3 (P). =Marcel Dallemagne won the French open golf championship, defeating Henry Cotton, 139 to 140, in the 36- hole play-off over the St. Germain course. Dallemagne, the home professional, had rounds of 69, 70, while the 193¢ British open winner scored a pair of 70s. D. C. MAY GET HOCKEY Cambria Reported to Have Taken Site for Ice Arena. Possibility that Washington will be represented in the Eastern Amateur Hockey League arose today as Joe Cambria, owner of the Albany Sen- ators, was declared to have exercised his option on the proposed site for a hockey arena at Thirteenth and Up- shur streets. Cambra is said to have plans for constructing an arena seating 5,000 and a franchise in the league of which Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Atlantic City, New York and Hershey (Pa) are members, is reported to have been awarded him. et LITTLE CHAPMANS WIN Ben Chapman Peewees outslugged the F Street nine, 19 to 10, yesterday as Curtis saved the game with his re- Uef pitching.

'Y will captain the Harding Cup { RIPP team which will represent Wash- ington in the tourney for the national and the intercity team championship. That honor, as well as the city title, rightfully goes to him. The other | qualifiers are Burrows, who plays | about a dozen times a year, the gal- |1ant portly man who walked out on the first tee two days ago and said, “Tell the boys Ted is here,” and then proceeded, without any practice, to play 72 holes in one stroke above par; bespectacled, tall Pat Axtell, a 50-50 golfer a few months back, who took time off from his job as barbecut at- tendant out on Connecticut avenue to practice for the tournament and win a place, and stubby little Bobby Bur- ton, the navy yard mechanic, who | pulled himself up by his bootstraps into a last-place tie, and won on the play-off from Barney Welsh with a birdie on the second hole. Welsh, Wwho drives a taxi, tied with Burton at 292, but the mechanic won the play-off. Bowers, Seay Barely Miss. AROLD BOWERS, West Potomac Park employe, was 2 shot out- side with 293, tied with Bill Seay at that figure. Rippy, Burrows and Bur- ton all qualified last year. But the big shot of the crowd is Rippy. The guy was tremendous, as he strode around that layout, busting par wide open, to set a record that probably will stand for many years. The old record for the 72-hole distance was 282. Rippy only broke it by 8 shots. The national will start at Bethpage State Park on July 20, but the four Washington qualifiers will be there three days ahead of time. Give Rippy a touch of the genius he showed over the past two days and he will come home a national champion— pulled up. Mrs. Dowdall Is Winner, MR& J. F. DOWDALL of Congres- sinal was back on the job as tournament chairman of the Women's District Golf Association today, facing a dull Summer without many golf events, but with one of the major trophies of the year to carry back to her club. Mrs. Dowdall, who has been in charge of the women's tourneys since March, left her working chair- manship role yesterday to become & working golfer, and so well did she work in her new characterization that she won the Heraid Trophy in the tourney at Indian Spring, which marked the end of the early season among the feminine players. She re- turned a score of 84,'with a 7 handi- cap, for & net of 77, to win by a shot. She also won the gross award, but took the main trophy, while the’ gross prize went to Mrs. L. G. Pray of Manor with a score of 86. Only one shot behind the winner were Mrs. J. P. Gross of Columbia, and Mrs. T. N. Beavers of Maror, with net cards of 78. Mrs. Gross won in the draw, after scoring 80—12—78, while Mrs. Beavers, a consistent com- petitor in women's tourneys, scored LS Cliff Spencer clouts a lengthy wallop from the eleventh 89—11—78. Other prize winners were: Mrs. T. J. Johnson, Army- Navy, 88—9—179; Mrs. George Diffen- baugh, Indiarn Spring, 92—13—79; Mrs. O. G. Elbe, Congressional, 99— 18—81; Mrs. E. M.

BABE DIDRIKSON, who is going to be one of the great golfers of the world some day, was playing again today at one of the local courses, after another good round at Con- gressional, which she had to cut short yesterday to make a broadcast- ing date. The Babe played fifteen holes with Roland MacKenzie, Wiffy Cox and Billy Dettweiler, in a few strokes over par. MacKenzie and Cox | finished the round for scores of 69, exactly even on match and medal play. Sunday the Didrikson gal will ap- pear in an exhibition match at Con- gressional with MacKenzie as part- ner, against Cox and Fred McLeod. The admission fee will be $1.10, Sports.

ARY GWYNNE CAMPBELL, official reporter ef the fledging horse show to be held at Virginia Beach this Sunday, writes in to announce that the junior committee has bought its trophies, sold its concessions, put the grounds in order and otherwise whipped the situation into hand pre- paratory to the opening gun of a meeting that will permit no one over 18 years of age to have & hand in its management. Miss Campbell, who also is pub- lisher of a sage journal entitled the Conversational Digest, devoted to giv- ing her elders an idea of what they ought to talk about at dinper, will turn out all the news items pertinent to this novel event. Judging from her first sample she will produce what is known as the full report. We have it on the word of this pre- coclous 14-year-old miss that the various saddle horse, hunter and good hands classes have between them earned approximately 500 ribbons in past competitions where the field was not so strictly limited. Undoubtedly placing all these budding stars in a ring at one time will serve merely to intensify the spirit of battle. Margaret Hill, the young Washing- tonlan who has been invited to serve as one of the judges, and Susan Boll- ing, her colleague, may expect to find themselves with a fine job of hair- splitting on their hands, a task at which both are eminently capable. As a suggestion of the eclat with its horsey affairs, Miss Campbell notes that two owners from Greenwich, Conn., shipped their ponies to Vir- | ginia Beach recently in an air-cooled | van equipped with electric lights, fans and hot and cold running grooms. The official committee consists of Patricia Thraves, James Wolcott, jr., (and Bobby Henderson of Virginia ;Beach. Ellie Wood Keith of Char- | lottesville, Peggy Klipstein of Green= wich, Conn.; Susan Potter of Sewick- ley, Pa., and Sarah Louise Adams of San Antonio, Tex. Court photographer for the occasion will be Sidney Banks, |jr, son of the director of Virginia | Beach's famous Cavalier. Loudoun Officials Efficient. THE Loudoun Hunt Horse Show last week. always one of the more con- | genial and sporting exhibitions of the season, deserved special commenda- tion this year for the promptness with which the classes were run off, the astute speed of the judges., North Fletcher and Courtland Smith. and the exceptional quality of the entries. | Few one-day meets around the District | ever have offered as high type of com- petition. Hawing seen the issue left unde- | cided between Ray Shoemaker's Our Way, the outstanding 3-year-old at | Way having been placed first and Ma= youngsters who are to ride in the | which the rising generation conducts | < A\ TANBARK-<TURE s38h Upperville, and Horace Moffett's Macolon, the grand champion there, followers of these matters were much excited when Our Way finally re- ceived the championship at Belmont. Since the two horses were tied for the honor on points, the decision rested on conformation rating entirely. Our colon third in’the model hunter test, the former automatically took the tricolor. Although the Loudoun outside course was both fair and interesting this year, the business of starting horses off in the ring over two jumps that can be knocked down and then putting them at four that won't give an inch is apt to be a bit deceptive. Of course a really top horse is not go- ing to feel jumps very hard to see if they give, but many entrants in local meets are not quite that good. Columbus Meeting Marred. 'HE Columbus meeting, which con- flicted with Loudoun on Saturday and suffered accordingly, also had a commendable outside course and some of the better overnight horses, but other things served to mar its pristine beauty. Chief among these was the con- tinual howling about the judging on | the second day. Having failed in some instances to state its class con- ditions explicitly and fully, the man- agement was left in a quandary by these complaints, as either the judges | or the owners might have been right, | under the plausible interpretations | offered by both. In one case where there was a pro- test the committee upheld the ex- | hikitor, thereby turning its back on |two. judges—unfortunate tactics, to | say the least. In yet another diffi- culty, the judges were upheld, which made the second protesting exhibitor feel, naturally enough, that what was sauce for the goose evidently was not sauce for the gander. Too bad, as Vincent Lester, who | managed the show, unquestionably had worked hard to make it satis- factory in every way. A bit more precaution in specifying class condi- tions next year should give both the | | judges and the owners a better idea | | of what is expected.

Any second-rate prize fighter will get more for a couple of bouts in the big time. Away down at the foot of the list among the prize winners is Sam Parks, jr, the 1935 national open champ, who took it on the chin with a grin all along the Winter circuit and wound up the first six months of the year with total winnings of $86. Tommy Armour, the Silver Scot who was one of the big money win- | ners a few years back, didn't fare much better.

If it happened just once, it might be luck—but when hundreds of men choose a Vintage White Owl as the best tasting cigar in test after test, it must taste better. In White Owl’s twelfth straight victory—at the Louis-Schmel- ing Fight—289 smokers were picked at random from the crowd ... given two unidentified cigars—a Vintage White Owl and an- other, representing the leading nationally advertised brands. The cigars bore no names or familiar bands to prejudice them. Each man smoked both, then indicated the one he liked best— by taste alone. For taste is the only thing that really makes for smoking pleasure. 66% preferred Vintage White Owl’s mildness.
