Tourney AATEUR PRELIN ONTAP AUGUST 25 Only de Handicap Players Eligible—Entries Will Close on 12th. BY W. R. McCALLUM. F COURSE it has been known for months, to golfers of the town and the ambitious boys who hope to crash through in the national amateur championship this year, but the sectiohal qualifica- tion rounds for the 1936 Simon-pure title tourney finally have been awarded officially to the Columbia Country Club. The official announcement came through yesterday from Harold ‘W. Pierce, the red-faced Bostonian who heads the Championship Com- mittee of the United States Golf As- sociation. The tournament will be staged at Columbia on August 25 over the 36- hole route, but the number of places open in the sectional rounds will not be known until about August 18. Entries will close with the United States Golf Association, at 73 East Fifty-seventh street, New York, on August 12. As soon as the U. 8. G. A. tabulates the entries it will assign places in the sectional rounds through- out the Nation in the ratio of about one place to each eight entrants, the same ratio which has held good since the sectional qualification system was inaugurated back in 1932. Marylanders Handle Tourney. TH’E sectional rounds will be handled by William D. Waxter, jr., and his brother officers of the Maryland State Golf Association. The championship proper will be played at the Garden City Golf Club, Garden City, Long Island, September 14 to 19, inclusive. Only amateur golfers with handicaps of 4 strokes or less will be eligible. Once before the sectional play for the amateur championskip has gone to Columbia, back in 1933, when the championship itself was played at Cincinnati. In that year 12 men from this section qualified, five of whom were from Washington. The five were Roger Peacock, Miller B. Stevinson, Martin F. McCarthy, Lu- ther C. Steward, jr, and Richard Lunn. You can look for the same men to be in the thick of the fight at Columbia on August 25 this year. Chandler Harper, now a pro, and Ernie Caldwell of Baltimore tied for the medal in 1933 with 36-hole scores of 147. The top score to qualify that year was 155. This year the field probably will be a little faster and if the fairways are fast, as they probably will be, a score of 153 or better may be needed to make the grade, with a card around 145 leading the parade. Since those days three years ago several stars have erisen in this area, among them Levi Yoder of Kenwood, the mid-Atlantic thamp; Haryey Johnson, the Columbia title-holder; Volney Burnett of Indian Spring, Ralph Quinter of Chevy Chase, Bobby Brownell of Manor, Billy Shea of Congressional, and Billy Dettweiler, &lso of Congressional. Course Is Ne Cinch. THE Columbia course, played from the long tees, is not the lengthiest layout around Washington, but it is one of the toughest. With a par of 35—35—70, 1t stretches out, as it will be played in the championship test, to Seek to Break Triple Tie Today | a distance around 6,600 yards. You can depend on the tee markers being placed as far back as they can go, as they were in 1933, when Miller Stev- inson remarked he never had seen the ourse so long. “Why we almost backed dp in the honeysuckle on some of. those tees,” he said. Washington should grab the lion's &hare of the probable 13 or 14 quali- fication places in that sectional test. Baltimore has only two or three golfers capable of making the grade, and Richmond, which has been a hot-bed of golf since Billy Howell started the Confederate Cavalry marching back in 1930, will not send such a strong delegation. Howell and Bobby Riegel both have left the city of cigarettes and first families to make their homes in Texas. Chandler Harper of Nor- folk has turned pro, but in his place Morton McCarthy, also of Norfolk, has become a good golfer.

ONDON.—After nearly a clean sweep in Britich prize-money golf tournaments, big Alfred Padgham, the newly crowned British open champion, looks wistfully at the “rich” rewards harvested by American pros. Victor in five major tournaments, thereby setting up the greatest com- petitive record Britain has seen in many years, Padgham won only $7,075 for all his work—and his biggest tri- umph, in the open, netted the smallest return. Tough But True. TH!.' open title, once valued by Gene Sarazen at $100,000, carries with it a check for only $500, and the addi- tional revenue to be reaped on exhi- bition matches, adveritsements and teaching totals about the same amount —at least to a British winner. Sara- zen this year estimated the potential value of the open crown at $50,000— if he had won it. But he was counting on gleaning most of that sum through an exhibition tour of Australia. Padg- ham probably won't profit by a twen- tieth of that. “The hard truth” says Geoffrey Simpson, sports columnist of the Lon- don Daily Mail, “is that the British open championship is worth less to a Britisher than to an American.” 9 The answer brings out a variety of contrasts between the two countries, In the first place, British athletic heroes live a brief “shining hour” in the limelight. They are not idolized, no matter how great their achieve- ments, nor ballyhooed on anywhere near the scale of such American demi-gods as Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth, Bobby Jones or Bill Tilden. Perhaps more important, from Padgham’s financial outlook, British crowds fail to patronize exhibition tournaments featuring the new champion—and British advertising firms refuse to pay fat fees for the champion’s indorsement of products. Last, but by no means least, the British pro, after winning a big title, is not offered highly lucrative posts at fashionable country clubs as in America. In fact, British pros com- plain that they can barely scrape out the humblest sort of a living, even in this country where low wages predominate. Yankeeland Lures Him. ADGHAM'S victories, in addition to the open title at Hoylake, in- clude: Royal Mid-Surrey ' championship, $1.500; Daily Mail tournament, $2.- 500; Silver King competition, $1,000, and Dunlop-Southport tournament, $1,575. Looking back on that compara tively meager return for winning Britain’s five biggest tournaments of the past nine months, Padgham is seriously considering fallowing the example of Tommy Armour, Willie Hunter, Bobby Cruickshank, Mac- Donald Smith, Jim Barnes and other British players, who have transported American scene.

GROUP of discontented caddies with a couple of ringleaders thought the Washington Golf and Country Club should per- mit them to use the course for play and threatened a general caddie strike a week ago. Balked in their demands but play- ing for time, the boys threatened again yesterday to call a strike at noon, just before the time of heavy play. Golf Chairman Jim Tracy, called to the scene, got together with Professional Dave Thomson, weeded out the ringleaders and banished them from the course, forever. “We’ll run our own business,” Tracy said. The boys had pointed to one or two clubs around Washington which permit the caddies to use the courses on Monday mornings.

Hunting Cougars for Pay Is No Sinecure Nimrod Who Has Bagged 500 for Government Has Trailed ’Em 40,000 Miles Since 1919. Py (ne Associated Press. REDATORY animal hunters are employed by States and by the Federal Government to control carnivorous spe- cies which prey upon game and lve stock. These men, engaged in what might be termed the last-frontier occupation, often capture moun- tain lions and bobcats alive. - They belittle such feats and say “it's all in the day's work.” “I would hate to see the moun- tain lion extinct,” says Joseph S. Hunter of the Californias Fish and Game Department. “The lion is too interesting an animal” It's estimated 500 remain in California today. Mountain lions, known variously as pumas, cougars and panthers, -.are lonely, prowling cats, tenacious ~in surviving despite the fact they are slow breeders. Hunters say they seldom attack men, except when cornered. The lions like venison and mut- ton. It is estimated that one lion - will kill a deer a week, or, in sheep country, will account for $1,000 worth of sheep a year. It takes a lot of walking, some- times more than 100 miles, to bag a lion. Jay Bruce, who killed his 500th this year, figures he has footed more than 40,000 miles fol- lowing tracks since he took a State hunter’s job in 1918. The cats are great travelers, cov- ering up to 20 miles a day. Practi- cally tireless when walking, they are short-winded on the run. A pack of dogs, usually five or six, is used to track down a lion. The dogs are worked in relays, bee cause they wear out before the hunter, . ‘When tracks are found, the dogs are set on the trail. Then the long hike begins. The trail may be old and may lead into almost im- passably rugged country, but the hunter and his dogs must follow. Ultimately the lion is treed and the hunter makes the kill. Only regular hunters are per- mitted to work in game refuges, be- cause it is certain their dogs will trail lions exclusively. A long pe- riod of training is required to edu- cate the dogs. Hunters say that if a young dog goes for a bear it is worthless 50 far as lions are con- cerned. Wolves, bobcats and coyotes are among the game and stock destroy= ers on the predatory animal hunte er's list. These are more numerous than lions, even in most States ‘where lions are found. nolds Smith, Gus Moreland, Jack 34 Classes Listed for Program at 2! BIG CREWS MARKS OF G0OD GOLFERS, FORBUFFALOFOUR Champions, Earn Rating as Giant Killers. | Py the Associated Press. UFFALO, N. Y., July 11.—The West Side Rowing Club’s na- tional championship “midget” four-oared crew of 145-pound- | ers will try its giant-killing act again this Summer—this time at the Olym- pic games. | “They gave away nearly 50 pounds per man to win the national title from 'wim an 18-hole qualifying round.

Two years ago they won a championship at Halifax in a borrowed shell. The midget four isn't the only crew on the West Siders’ roster. They have held four national and Canadian Hen- ley titles with their heavyweight four- oared boats, picked up a couple of titles with the eight-oared, and their star singles sculler, Bank Teller Erwin Konrad, has won the national quarter- mile sculls championship twice, suc- cesstully defending it this year in Philadelphia. — 34 CLASSES FOR SHOW Clarke County Event Is Slated for August 20 and 21.

HE new order of the day is curs | with college degrees. In order to acquire these newly estab- | lished degrees, the dogs will | have to matriculate in the obedience classes at the various shows. Success- | tul graduates will be able to add the | letters “C. D.” “C. D. X." or “U. D.” | to their names, which mean respec- tively “Companion Dog,” “Companion Dog Excellent” and “Utility Dog.” Of course, the mutt long since may have proved his right to any or all of these cially as the American Kennel Club considers itself the only licensed or- or withholding titles. And the Ameri- can Kennel Club will grant no titles to any but blue-blooded dogs of high de- gree. IT IS encouraging that the ruling body in dogdom has taken cog- nizance of the fact that a dog is more than a bony skeleton duly equipped with flesh, blood, organs and hair. Countless dogs are valued more for what they are than what they look to be: many a show champion is a com- plete washout on the farm or in the field, or whatever his natural field of endeavor should be. The obedience tests are doubtlessly a step in the right direction, although, as they are run now, they seem toc mechanistic, too | rountinized, to indicate true intelli- | gence. They seem rather to indicate the degree of training to which the dog has been subjected, or perhaps the skill of the trainer. ‘To win his C. D, a dog twice must score 80 or more points out of a pos- sible 100 in the novice class, at least six competing. The tests are (1) heeling on leash, 20 points; (2) heel- ing free, 25 points; (3) handler when called, 20 points; (4) sitting one minute, 15 points; (5) lying down three minutes, 20 points. C. D.’s are eligible for C. D. Xs, by competing in the open classes and twice scoring 200 out of a possible 250 degrees. The tests are the same, although scored differently, and the following tests added: Retrieving dum- bell on fiat, 35 points; speaking on command, 20 points; long jump, 30 points; lying down five minutes, 35 points. TB! doctor’s degree for dogs, or U. D, is available only to those which have earned the C. D. X. Can- didates must twice score 280 or bet- ter out of a possible 400. The tests are: (1) tracking, 225 points; (2) ex- ercising scent discrimination, 75 points; (3) seeking back, 60 points; (4) retrieving dumbell over an ob- stacle, 40 points. Smartness of manner in executing commands, as well as promptness are deciding factors in scoring. The idea of the obedience tests is, of course, to demonstrate the usefulness of the pure bred dog as the companion and guard- ian of man, not to show his ability thought in mind that a dog which can be termed a “utility dog” has dem- onstrated his fitness to a place in our lmmxmmm. uu-atnh—«m.- Whether links king, may be able to play, but | come the days of low scoring, with | |but a one-under-par 3¢ ...

J, July 11.— Robert Riggs, Los Angeles, ad- vanced to the final round of the battle for the Clifford Hemphill Tennis Trophy today, defeating J. Gilbert Hall, South Orange, 6—3, 6--8, 6—2, 5—7, 6—2. He will meet Frank A. Parker, fa- vored to win his fourth consecufive championship, on the Bathing and Twnnis Club courts tomorrow. Playing easily and at times almost recklessly, the national clay court champion found Hall fighting a grim, versatile battle for four rounds that wilted in the crucial bracket before a high-bounding, faster service and | @ display of base-line placements. Hall Is Worn Down. 'HE veteran from North Jersey found difficulty in the back court as the match waned and, visibly tired | before the sudden earnestness of | young Riggs, took only three points | in the final trio of games. His spirit | broke on the Californian’s first serv- ice game when his opponent came up from 15—40 by pulling a dexterous | blend of forecourt chops with blasts to the far corners. The second and fourth sets provided { the sparse gallery with its most ex- | citing moments as Hall rallied in both cases under 0—2 handicaps, forcing net by following base-line rallies with sudden soft drops into the forecourts. Riges, seeded No. 2 in the tourney against Hall's No. 3 position, came | pack in the odd sets by taking the blazing attack away from the Jer- seyan through slowing the play, forc- ing his diminutive opponent into | costly errors on seemingly easy re- turns.
