S PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1936. Cagle Master One-Armed Golfer| Carrrars Rapio Procrams OFTENBREAKSH, | | Drives Strongly ~Without Left-Hand Balance—Meet Made for Babe Ruth. BY W. R. McCALLUM. HEN they start passing out medals to fellows who can | play golf, even though | handicapped, they would better start getting one shined up for C. E. Cagle, the one-armed star of Washington Golf and Country Club. Cagle, with only his good right arm | to swing the club, gets around that hilly course in figures that many a two-armed and two-handed golfer would envy. Scores of 76 to 80 roll off his unerring clubs with consistent regularity, and he hits the ball as far and as straight as many a man with two rms. < It's all a matter of timing to hit a | golf ball correctly, or so the experts tell us. That being true, any one who watches Cagle smack the ball must admit he has achieved unusually good timing without the balance of his left | arm and hand on the club. Of course, | he doesn’t hit 'em as far as Tommy | Webb or Jimmy Corcoran or some of | the other long-hitting gents at Wash- i ington, but Cagle can hold his own | in any driving competition for men ©of moderate length. Plays Orthodox Game. HE PLAYS all the holes just as any other golfer would play them, with a raking drive and a good pitch shot. There are several good one-armed | golfers around Washington, but of them all Cagle probably is the best. | the scoring he has been able to ac- complish, for 76 is not an unusual score for him over the short Wash- ington layout. C. M. Charest of Congressional and | Columbia, who has achieved consid- erable fame as a tennis player, also is | a one-armed golfer of more than | average skill. A. W. Howard of Wash- | ington, who scored a hole-in-one not | long ago over his home course, also | is a one-armed player who can smack | the ball around any course in respect- | able figures. Spot for Babe Ruth. 'HE national left-handed golf tour- ney, talked of for some years, finally is going to be made a reality. | It will be played at Norwood Hills| Club in St. Louis, starting September | 21, and looks to be the spot for Babe Ruth, who used to play a bit of base ball, to start winning championships. | The Babe is a pretty good south- | paw, but if Earl McAleer of lndmn; Spring and Tommy Bones of Manor | go out to St. Louis, they can give Ruth or any other southpaw an argu- | ment. Those boys can play a lot of golf, swinging from the port side. ‘Women golfers will have their own | handicap tourney August 25 at Con- gressional, where the Maryland State Golf Association will stage a one-day affair for the fair club swingers. Only players with 1936 handicap cards will be eligible for the event. Minor Leagues International. Albany, 5: Newark, 3. Buffalo, 7; Rochester, 6. American Association. Milwaukee, 12: Minneapolis, 2.

But now Roger Peacock, District amateur king, rates the No. 1 position at Congressional Country Club, to which he transferred last Fall, after the club championship was played. Parker Nolan won the club title, and when Roland MacKenzie, the club pro, got around to the business of picking a club team, he placed Nolan in the top spot, with Peacock in second place. But Roger wasn't satisfied with second place. He challenged Nolan and whipped him 2 and 1, and now Roger is back where he belongs—top man in the club and top man of all the local amateurs.

PARKS NET MEET Hopper of Tulsa Is Feared After Beating Ex-Champ. Shenkin Gets Default. By tbe Associated Press. T. LOUIS, August 18—A young | thunderbolt from Tulsa, Okla, | held the center of attention in | the fourteenth annual national public parks tennis tournament as he took the courts for a second-round | match with Walter Smigel of Cleve- land today. M. C. Hopper, 18-year-old high school senior, had tennis veterans talk- ing to themselves yesterday as they watched his stunning straight-set vic- tory over Arnold Simons of Louisville, | 1932 and 1933 champion, and second seeded this year.

Mercenina Weiss of St. Louis, | Constance O'Donovan of Detroit and Anna Koll of New Orleans also breezed Columbus, 7; Jacksonville, 1. through. BY BLAIR XCEPT for those who looked for sport in the lower Potomac or the ocean, the week end's fishing was a disappointment. Rough water on the Chesapeake, the Patuxent River up to Solomons and | along the wide river mouths of the Eastern Shore kept the fish away from the hooks. Yesterday the bad weather caught up with the lower Potomac, and Capt. C. H. Overton, at Piney Point, Md., grimaced bleakly at rain, which brought to an end the good catches of Sunday. “It was fine Saturday and Sunday,” he said. ‘Trout, blues, hardhead and pan rock were plentiful, and they still will be when the weather and the wind subside. The blues are small, averaging 1.5 pounds, and they have Just begun to run.” The Potomac fishermen right now are devoted to trolling. No chumming, said Capt. Overton, as long as the schools are so thick, ‘The blues are doing well across the bay at Oxford, on the Choptank, too. But the fish Capt. Buck Stevenson finds most plentiful is rock. In three days’ fishing last week he hooked more than 100, averaging 2 pounds. VER at Ocean City, Md., Satur- day Sydney Rosen caught him- self 25 blues, weighing 1.5 to 2 pounds, and didn’t feel badly at all at the sight of boats coming in from the Gulf Stream with gray flags at their topmast signifying a marlin was aboard. “Fishing the blues is plenty of sport,” observes Rosen. Plenty of others at Ocean City agree. The re- sort was packed over the week end. Herbert O'Connor and Selby Carpen- ter, among the dozens who went out, took 30 blues. An unexpected visitor from the briny deep was a good-sized tarpon, which entangled himself in the nets of an Ocean City commercial fisherman, BOLLES. ‘Word from George Huber: In two days’ fishing for shark off Wacha- preague, Va., he caught big hardheads by the hundreds. He moved south to Cape Charles. There he caught no sharks, but a casual visitor, who drop- ped a line overboard just for something to do, hooked them a-plenty. 'HE week end fishing recapitulation for waters easily available to local sportsmen: Rock Hall. Md., Capt. Lewin Black- ston, jr.: Rock biting; good chum- ming; trolling good in early mornings and late afternoons. Eastport, Md., Capt. T. S. Rawlings: 7 ‘W\VT /. Je. Extra good catches of trout, hard- heads, perch and rock. Outlook fine. Sparrows Point, Md., Capt. Louis F. Markel: Fishing this past week fair. Outlook better for coming week. Eastern Bay, Capt. W.

Fred Phillips, Fishing Creek, Md.: Catches good; one party of three took 70 trout, 20 hardheads, 30 perch and 5 blues. Ex- pect improvement. Patuxent River, Capt. H. C. Elliott, Broomes Isiand, Md.: Fishing im- proving; good catches last week; rock, hardheads, trout—about 135 per boat. River Springs, Md., Capt.

Wiffy tells us that Lynchburg, Va., is making gestures for a $5,000 open tourney in October. It looks as if Andy Oliveri, the chubby-faced Roosevelt High School | kid, is in a class by himself among the | junior golfers who play the public courses. Andy won the juaior public links championship last year and today he is a favorite to repeat, following nis performance yesterday when he won the qualifying round at East Potomac Park with an even par 72. Bob Mor- ris was next at 75. The tourney will end tomorrow.

Five Baltimoreans survived the | first round. Diffenbaugh met Jim Flattery of Rodgers Forge today, while Spencer clashed with Ralph Beach and Walper matched shots with Glenn Spencer, the rangy guy who won the qualify- ing round with a card of 68.

Dry-land competitions were held for people who do not know how to swim very well. The score: First place—Japan. Second place—Address unknown. BUDAPEST, August 18—By cap- turing an unprecedented number of tenth places, hungary coasted to vic- tory in the Olympic games of 1936. So one-sided was the compe- tition that most of the other countries had to be satisfied with gold medals, oak trees and similar consolation trinkets. The score: ‘Winner—Hungary. Second—The field. CAIRO, August 18.—The Olympic games, which bring the nations of the world together every four years to see which can win the lightweight and middleweight weight-lifting com- petition, was a landslide for Egypt. Running and swimming races rounded out the schedule and provided enter- tainment of a doubtful kind for those who could not get seats in the weight- lifting arena. WARSAW, August 18.—The new in- ternational point-scoring system, by which non-Polish winners are dis- counted for reasons too numerous and profound to discuss, gave Poland an overwhelming victory in the 1936 Olympic games, and public rejoicing in this city is unconfined.

ARKANSANS DIFFER ON TENANT ISSUE Sharecroppers Under Thoughtful Landlords Held Well Off. Union Idea Hit. By trc Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., August 18.—Rep- resentative landowners of Eastern Ar- kansas welcomed today Gov. J. M. Futrell's proposal for a Southwide conference to discuss the sharecropper situation, but they did not agree on the merits of the system. “I am Yor any plan that will better our people,” declared D. B. Woolard, Clarkedale planter. “However, I think the sharecropper system is good. A good sharecropper under & good landlord has the best opportunity to get ahead of any day laborer in the United States today.” R. B. Snowden, jr., who has 50 fam- ilies on his 1,000-acre plantation near Hughes, Ark., said: “I hope it will be another step near- er to breaking up the tenant farmer system.

Bv the Associnted Press The Supreme Court was asked ves- terday to invalidate Washington State’s minimum wage law for wom- en, which Is similar to a New York statute dclared unconstitutional in a 5-to-4 decision by the high tribunal last June. The Washington law was challenged by the West Coast Hotel Co. of Wenatchee, Wash.. which protested against paying $216 to Mrs. Elsie Parrish, a chambermaid. | She contended that sum was the balance due her for 52 weeks' work | under State regulations fixing $14.50 as the mirimum weekly wage for em- ployes in the “public housekeeping industry. The Washington law was upheld by the State's Supreme Court, which de- livered its ruling two months before the United States Supreme Court in- | validated the New York statute. The Chelan County, Wash.. Superior Court previously had rejected Mrs. Parrish’s | claim, holding the act unconstitus ! tional. The Supreme Court generally is ex- pected to decide early in October whether it will review the Washington case and whether it will grant a re- hearing of the New York minimum wage test.
