¥ in this—the fifth year of the sectional SP ORTS. SECTOR IS GIVEN | TWOU. S. TRIALS Other Changes Are Effected in Operation of Event . for Simon Pures. BY W. R. McCALLUM. EVERAL changes have been made in the operation of the sectional qualification rounds for the amateur championship trials throughout the land. First and most important of these from the Washington angle, is the addition of another qualifying sport in the Middle Atlantic area. The local sectional tourney will be held on| August 25 over the 36-hole route at| Columbia, but in addition the city of | Richmond also will have a qualifying | tryout. This is entirely new in this area, where in previous years one spot (usually a Washington club) has beeni designated as the central gathenngl point for the entire section. In past years players have come here from Richmond and as far away as Wil- mington, N. C. The spot where the sectional rounds will be played at Richmond is the James River course of the Country Club of Virginia. Ad-| dition of Richmond as a qualifying | spot will cut down the local fleld. 'ANOTHER change this year is that all amateur entrants (who must have club handicaps of four strokes or less) will be required to fill out an %entry form, which may be obtained | from the member clubs, from sectional associations or from the men who will run off the sectional rounds. These entry blanks must be certified as to correct handicap by an officer of the club from which the player enters. As has been customary for several Must Certify Handicaps. IGH hilarity will reign at Indian Spring Country Club tomorrow where Tommy Utz “Runts” will have their year= long delayed go at E. B. Wagner's “Giants.” Postponed from last Sun- day, the match will be played tomor- row with all the traditional trimmings, and this time, if Wagner's boys win again, even genial, grinning Tommy Utz can't come up with the old gag, “We wuz robbed.” For Tommy swears by the golf holies that he and his merry men are going to protect them- selves against the wiles and even the chicanery of Wagner and his neolithic cave men. At least, that's what Tommy called them in the defy he and his lads issued a while back. The trimmings will include a pair of Fairbanks on the first tee, so both team captains can ses no ringers get in on the weight side of the picture. Other appurtenances will be tape meas- ures and even foot measures. “Those birds aren't going to gyp us if we can help it, as they did last year,” Doc Utz says. “We have to protect ourselves.” unless the weather is so hot it is postponed. TILL another big group of golfers will gather at the elevated first tee at the Washington Golf and Coun- iry Club tomorrow, where Jim Tracy { will lead his lads of Washington into | & team match against the better club swingers from the nearby Army-Navy Club. This match was postponed from last Sunday. Thirty-two players will years all former amateur champions will be eligible to play, in addition to the current British amateur champion and the members of the British Walker Cup team. But this year there will be no reigning title holder, for Lawson Little has turned professional. Last year there were 29 qualifica- tion points scattered throughout the Nation. This year there will be 32 such points. with a possibility that the entire entry list will total more than 1,000. Last year 945 players entered the sectional rounds. Wit entries to close for most of the quali- fication spots on August 12. the Champiohship Committee shortly thereafter will make known the num- ber of places to be open in each sector.

C., gressional yesterday, the scene being the par 5 eighth hole, an affair around 400 yards long from the back tee. The players were L. Stewart Barr, his nephew Jack, Billy Dettweiler and Harvey Johnson. Dettweiler hagged the eagle 3, while the others, poor boys, had to be content with a trio of birdie 4s. Like most of the other par 5 holes around Washington these days of adamant fairways, that eighth has been converted into a two-shooter for the boys who really maul the ball. Dettweiler scored a 74 for the round, a shot above the 73 registered by Billy Shea, who played in another match. Shea picked up three birds on the back nine, but finished with a 5 for a 34. HARVEY JOHNSON predicts a hot golf team for Georgetown next Spring when Maury Nee, Billy Dett- weiler and Hickman Greene all will be eligible to play on the varsity along with lanky Charlie Pettijohn. “Don’t the team or not,” said the tall Colum- bia champion. “But ii ought to be a good team, #hyhow.” Harvey never has qualified for the national amateur championship, but the sectional rounds will be played on his home layout on August 25. “Gosh, if I don’t make it this time I know I'll feel like jumping in the canal,” he says. “I'd better get my stroking go- | ing for that one.” ALL four of Washington's entrants in the national public links cham- pionship were at the battle scene today at Farmingdale, Long Island, where the tournament will open Mon- day. Claude Rippy, District public links champ, was working out the smooth shots which he hopes will en- able him to keep pace in the medal round with Charlie Ferrara of San Francisco, twice 8 winner of the title.

Continue Play Today. THE Maryland invaders went home last night a somewhat surprised, sorely walloped crowd. but they were by no means in disgrace.

The eliminations continue this afternoon with the War Department four-goal team meeting the 3d Cav- alry Greens, a secondary hook-up from the same regiment that produced “yesterday's victors. The greens are rated at seven goals. This game goes on at the Fort Myer field at 2 pm, | with the following personnel involved: War Department—No. 1, Lieut. Henri Luebbermann (1 goal); No. 2, Capt.

EW YORK, July 18.—Two youngsters who have attracted the attention of officials with future Davis Cup teams In| mind and a pair of not much older players clash today in the all-Western semi-finals of the Eeastern clay courts tennis championships. One of them, Don McNeill of Ken- yon College, Ohio, and Oklahoma City, faced his teammate, Morey Lewis of Texarkana, Ark., in the final of the Eastern junior championships a few hours earlier. McNeill, 18, was one of two un- seeded players in the clay courts tour- nament. The other was John Law, 22, Stanford graduate from Pasadena, Calif. Easterners Wiped Out. HE other semi-finalists were Robert Riggs, 18, of Los Angeles and his doubles partner, Wayne Sabin, 20. of Hollywood, Calif. Today's matches pitted Riggs against McNeill and Law against Sabin. Riggs is national junior and clay courts champion. who recently made a brilliant debut in turf court play. This quartet of Westerners elimi- nated the last Eastern entries yes- terday when Riggs whipped Leonard Hartman of New York, 1—6, 6—4, 8—86; McNeill disposed of 43-year-old Manuel Alonso, former Spanish Davis Cup player, 5—7, 8—7, 6—1, Law beat his third seeded rival, J. Gilbert Hall of South Orange, N.

A few weeks ago this department asked that anglers be on the watch for illegal netters and re- port such cases to the proper author- ities. Several cases were reported, and the nature of these cases indicate that commercial fishermen who are at- tempting to break the law are being driven to work under cover of dark- ness or during stormy weather when detection is difficult. One such case was reported by T. D. Dunn, one of Washington’s most en- thusiastic sport fishermen. “I discov- ered a fleet of eight fishing boats apparently engaged in seining for fish bout 500 yards offshore on the Mary- E forces of conservation, led by the Izaak Walton League, N mouth of Herring Creek and another small creek approximately one mile up the river.

A heavy run of bass in the lower Potomac, about the heaviest in the past 8 or 10 years, has made this possible. Generally planting has been confined to Western Maryland, but the commission is so well stocked this year that the bass will also be planted in southern streams and on the East- ern Shore. At the meeting of the Izaak Walton League this week a resolution was passed condemning the waste of ex- cessive catches of salt water fish. All members were urged to keep the size of their catches down, and to donate excess fish to local charitable institu- tions which are always happy to re- became light enough to distinguish markings on the boats.” - smang Several other cases have been re- ported from the Middle Grounds in Chesapeake Bay.

Most of these boats are good sized ones, one being large enough to sleep 20 persons on an overnight fishing trip. Several schools of pan rock have been seen in the upper section of the bay, Capt.
