Tennis at Showdown Stag PAR COMES HARD |Army-Navy Club Net Finalist|FAIR RACKETERS [HENSON AND FRYE Capital Qualifiers in U. S. Amateur Tourney Face IX thousand eight hundred and eight yards of trouble in the form of one of the better golf land awaits the eight hopeful ama- teur golfers who will shake the dust of the Capital from their brogans City, where the national amateur championship will start next Monday. One of the famed old golf courses known to the younger generation of golfers, but championships are not new to Garden City. Back in the days future, women's bathing suits still took more thap half a yard of material, and men wore red coats City was a championship layout. It 1s today, 23 years after Jerry Travers won the last title tourney played women are not permitted in the club house, avhich will be unique in championship golf, where the dear the championship landscape for so many years. Garden City Par Is 73. t with the highest par of any championship course in two decades. With 11 par 4 holes, 4 par 5 holes, the layout is 73. And the course is flat, which normally might mean it would be soft enough for the boys who designed it, over the years (and Garden City is an accumulation of ideas rather than the full-blown out 50 the boys who hit ’em a mile had better keep 'em straight, or else; the else being deep bunkers, with wind- broom and oodles of deep and alto- gether unmanageable rough. It looks easy and it's tough, unlike some easy, and all 1n all, the lads aren't going to have a scoring picnic there. Here’s a description of the layout: the right must carry 185 yards, but leaves a short pitch to the green. The way to the left is shorter. No. 2— green and tee. Don't miss the green. No. 3—386 yards, par 4. With a big green, and out of bounds on the right, New Experience. S courses in this or any other this week and trek up to Garden of America, Garden City hardly is when the World War was far in the and spats on the golf course Garden there, and even today, as always, girls have been pleasing features of THE golf course is a tough nut, and only 3 par 3 holes, total par for who whack 'em so far. But the guys fruit of one architect) have laid it blown sand in 'em, whiskers of sage- courses that look tough and play No. 1—311 yards, par 4. A drive to 132 yards, par 3. Nothing there but this is one of the easier holes, but the entrance to the green is well guarded. | No. 4—509 yards, par 5. A trap and | gully on the left force the tee shot to the right, but the hole is a paradise for the sluggers, just the same. The entrance to the green is well guarded. No. 5—305 yards, par 4. Sounds short, but it's plenty tricky. A long tee shot nearly will reach the putting surface. No. 6—442 yards; par 4. One of the best holes anywhere. - The tee shot must be both straight and long and the green usually is fast. No. 7—548 yards, par 5. An easy par 5 hole, but the tee shot must be placed properly, also the second shot. The green slopes away. No. 8—417 yards, par 4. A slight dog leg to the right, with a wide gully and trap in front of green. Here is a spot for the slug- gers to open up the hole for a pitch. Call for Golf Generalship, NO, 9—326 yards, par 4. Dog leg to the right, a birdie hole but the green isn’t banked and usually is fast as lightning. No. 10—413 yards, par 4. Again the green slopes away, call- ing for a well-cut second shot. The boys who fling ’em bold at the green will find trouble here. No. 11—416 yards, par 4. A good drive and iron hole, with tee shot to be at the right carrying two traps. No. 12—199 yards, par 3. The tee shot must carry all the way to miss a trap. Green surrounded on three sides with high mounds, a feature of the Garden City course. No. 13—539 yards, par 5. Dog leg to the left, where the tee shot also should go. Green slopes away again. No. 14—350 yards, par 4. Narrow fairway lined with traps demands a well-placed tee shot. No. 15—457 yards, par 4. Almost a par 5, this hole is one of the tougher 4s. Sec- ond shot must be kept to the left, as the green slopes to the right. No. 16—402 yards, par 4. The best par 4 hole on the course, the experts say. A slight dog leg to the left, with traps ready for any mistake anywhere along the route. No. 17—488 yards, par 5. Two wallops will get home, but the green entrance is narrow and well guarded. Green is large and very rolling. No. 18—166 yards, par 3. ‘The most famous hole on the course, & water carry across a pond to a green in front of the club house. Plenty well bunkered and tough. Lots of 5s here. All in all it'’s a tough layout, and one that the boys won't bust wide open. Major Leaders By the Associated Press. American. ‘Batting—Averill, Indians, Appling, White Sox, .368.

[ ) because of a fractured ankle. history the District amateur and the District junior golf titles today are held by the same youngster. It would have to be | a youngster, for no golfer who has reached the age of 18 years is eligible for the junior title tourney. One of the surprise upsets that make golf end golfers won for Bobby | Brownell, 17-year-old Manor and In- | dian Spring youngster, the coveted District amateur championship at the Manor Club yesterday, climaxing an amazingly courageous bid for the crown by the 17-year-old blond kid, who last year was only a so-and-so golfer. Baobby. became .the first golfer to win both. championships by whipping . Roger. Peacock - of Cangressional, defending cham- pion, by 3 and 2, in one of the finest finals you and. you and. you ever will see, One over par when the match ended, | the slender youngster, touted for weeks as a real contender for the champion- ship, but never figured as one who could whip Peacock in man-to-man play, gained a lead of 3 up at the end of the first nine in the final, | went 4 up at the tenth, held on gamely when Peacock put the pressure on over the back nine and finally holed a 4-foot putt to beat the champion on the sixteenth hole. Bobby beat Billy Shea, his perennial rival from Congressional, by a single hole in the semi-final, while Peacock won handily from Volney G. Burnett, the smoke- eater from No. 3 engine, and Indian Spring. Bobby Is Surprise of Season. O BOBBY BROWNELL, the real surprise package of the year in local golf, the kid who only two years ago won his first important golf match from Maury Nee, will go to Garden City three days hence to compete for the national amateur championship wearing the highest links laurels Washington can bestow. He proved his worth under fire yesterday and well may become the sensation of the national. He will do just that if he keeps on playing the same kind of flawless golf he played yesterday in whipping a Peacock who was a shade off his mallet, unsteady on the putt- ing greens, but a champion who never quit and who fought back with the same skill and determination that won him two tough matches Saturday. A story of the final is crowded into the holes stretching from the tenth to the sixteenth, where spindly Bobby shook the hand of the old champion and heard Roger say, “Congratulations, champ.” Bobby went 4 up at the tenth, where Roger missed the green with his sec- ond shot, and it looked as if the match was in. But Peacock, like the new title-holder, never is licked in a golf match while there are holes to play. Against Puchs and Dettweiler the day before he was badly off, but he came through with the winning spurt when only subpar golf would do. He won the eleventh with a 3, when Bobby missed a 4-footer; the twelfth with a bird 3 and the thirteenth with a par 4 when Bobby missed a 2-footer and looked as if he was cracking. But cracking isn’t in the book of the new District champion. He may have looked badly on that putt on the thir- teenth, but he looked good on the four- teenth, where he walloped a lengthy tee shot, put his second on the green and won the hole with a par 4 when Roger again hooked, made a bad chip and barely missed his try for a 4. And Bobby looked again to be a real cham- pion as he birdied the long fifteenth to go 3 up. And when Roger again missed the green with his second shot on the sixteenth, chipped stone dead for a 4, with the youngster 40 feet away in 2, the blond boy stepped up to a 4-footer for ‘the half and the victory, and whacked it into the cup with no sign of nerves whatever. Any golfer, no matter how experienced, might have been a little wabbly on that 4-footer, but Bobby never hesi~ tated. He thumped the ball in as if he had no nerves. Roger Falls on Greens. youngster sprang into the lead right at the second hole, which he won with a par 3. Roger missed a 4-footer for a winning 4 at the first, and again blew a 4-footer for a win- ning 3 at the fourth; and another wee one for a birdie at the sixth. If you diagnose the final in an impartial way you must admit that Peacock’s putter Was & sorry implement yesterday. But I MRS. MARGARET ROBINSON, No. 1 seeded player; who today meets Sara Moore, second listed racketer, for the Army and Navy Country Club women’s tennis championship now held by Edith Clarke, compelled to idle —Star Staff Photo. OR the first time in local links | at the same time the new champion kept the pressure bearing down. He won the eighth with a birdie 2 to go |2 up, and the ninth with & par 5| when Peacock three-putted from above the hole. All in all, the Brownell boy proved himself a worthy successor to the man he beat. He played 16 holes in 1 over par, which is good enough fo win almeost any golf match. A few performances like that at Garden City next week and all the Nation will be talking Bobby Brownell. George F. Miller of Columbia won the second flight, whipping J. W. Harvey of Manor in the final, while the third flight went to Jack Mc- Bride, who beat C.. P. Medley of Manor. 3 Golf a Passion With Patty. OES Patty Berg, the freckle-faced Minneapolis gir], really like the game of golf, in which she is destined to become one of the brightest of all stars? She loves it and she would ratixr play golf than do anything else. Patty is no sissy about declaring her love for the game. Her whole likeable little face, dotted with a thousand freckles, lights up and dances when you ask her what she really thinks of golf. “It's the finest game in the world,” she smiles. “And no one knows it better than I1.” Patty and Betty Meckley are play- ing an exhibition match this after- non at Cengressional against Mildred “Babe” Didrikson and Helen Dettwei- ler at 2 o'clock. The ma‘ch is free to the public. William Slepian won the sweep- stakes tourney at Woodmont with 8 card of 83—14—69. Al Schneids Howard Nordlinger and Mark Gold- stein tied at net 71 for other prizes. Sam Parks, lanky former public links star, shot a 76 to take the top position in the qualifying round for the Argyle Country Club cham- plonship with a 36-hole total of 155. Lou Harrison, defending title holder, scored a 75 to add to his previous 83 to qualify safely. e Piedmont. Rocky Mount, 2; Richmond, 0. Norfolk, 15; Asheville, 0. Durham, 8—4; Portsmouth, 1—3.

CAMP PERRY, Ohio, September 7. —The National Rifle Association’s closing matches cleared the way today for the national rifle and pistol matches. The last events of the association | were Herrick team match and the ' American Legion match, on today's program at the .30-caliber ranges. A new team record in the Caswell Trophy match and an American tri- umph over the British team in the Dewar international were the out- standing events yesterday. The American Legion East team | fired 2,387 out of a possible 2,400 on | | the small bore ranges to take the | Caswell Trophy. Its total was six | points higher than the previous record | made in 1931 by the American Legion team. The United States small bore team | fired & score of 7.932 in the Dewar | international match, besting the 7,918 made by the British team on its home range. HUBBELL PLAYS SAFE. Manager Bill Terry of the New York Giants explains Carl Hubbell's | winning streak with, “Hub’s having a | great year because he's more care- | ful. Carl knows that he can't gamble the way he used to.” OUBLE-HEADERS are rather common in Chesapeake Bay, especially when hardhead are running strong, but in spite of their frequency never fail to give the lucky angler a thrill. If you ever have pulled in a two-at-a-time catch you know how it feels. Just take the pride and joy you felt on that occasion, double it several times and you are approximating the emo- tions of George Clements when he caught double blues yesterday. It happened while he was fishing for trout south of Cedar Point, using peeler crab for bait. The first one struck like a big hardhead, but didn't give too much of an argument as he started reeling it in. It was almost up to the boat when another came along and took the other hook. To- gether they drew out a little line, but Clements tightened his drag and got them both aboard safely. They turned out to be the only blues caught by his party, and he almost lost them as he was using hooks snelled with gut. The fish had cut all but one piece of gut on each hook. Blues have sharp teeth, afid whenever there is a possibility that you may catch one it is advisable to use hooks snelled with cable or wire. To find out how really hard and sharp a blue’s teeth are, it is only necessary to look at the scars on an old spoon or feather which has seen service among them. With Clements at the time were Harry Snyder, A. B. Snyder, Charles Hubert and Dave Snow.- They caught 21 :rout, 4 hardhead and 4 spot. spot, . 'HAT catch was about as good as any made around Solomons Island over the week end. Nearly every party had a few blues, according to Capt. George Bowen, but they failed to show up in large numbers. The wind has shifted from the northeast to the southeast, though, and some good bluefishing is promised this week, as soon as they school up. They are overdue. < F The rockfish were acting strangely there yesterday. They showed & come plete disregard for anglers and came into the river within 100 yards of the A docks, where the fishing boats are tied up. Few of them were caught, however, so perhaps they just came in to play, not to feed. The Southwest Middles produced & good fishing story last week. Byron Guy, Bernard Abell, Paul Long, Bob Hunt, Fulton Abell and Mattingly Guy were chumming for blues with Capt. Gilbert McKay when a big skate came up the chum line and took Byron Guy’s hook. It was boated eventually, but not before it had put up a stiff 30-minute battle. This is the first large skate caught near St. Marys Shores for some time and weighed better than 70 pounds. As a sort of anti-climax the party caught four large blues, weighing from 5 to 9 pounds. Tms department went down to the Piscataway, near Fort Washing- ton, to look into the black bass situa- tion Saturday. The water was too cloudy for effective angling, but we saw enough to be assured that bass are there. Every few minutes several big fat fellows would leap to the sur- face after minnows or water bugs, and on one or two occasions there must have been nearly a dozen leaping at the same time. The Piscataway is about the near- est stream to Washington where bass are to be found in any size and num- ber. It is only about a 45-minute drive from the heart of the city, and all but the last 4 miles are excellent paved roads.

HE American Kennel Clu} is in the glamorous position hitherto exclusively occupied by Maritza, the Gypsy queen. It sees all, hears all, knows all. It even knows when Hector was a pup! Hector was a pup not as long ago as you might imagine. He was whelped on July 19, 1891, a mere 45 years ago. His pedigree, for a Boston terrier, which was at that time a very young breed, was unimpeachable, so he was | entered in the stud book as No. 28814. And as a registered dog at that time was even more rare than now, he was the pride and joy of Joseph A. Locke of Chicago, who bought him from the | | breeder, George F. Huse of Boston. It is not told how many Hec- tors have been registered since that time. But it must now be definitely assumed when any- body say “since Hector was a pup” that he is referring to the time when the first Hector was registered. Hector's pedigree may be ‘traced clear back to the original erass that started the Boston terrier breed. This is given as the result of a mating be- tween a dog named Judge, owned by Robert C. Hooper of Boston, and & bitch named Gyp, owned by Ed Bur- nett of Southboro, Mass. Judge was a cross between an English bulldog and a white English terrier, a brindle dog with a white blaze. Gyp was white, breed or breeds not given. THE sixth Cumberland Dog Show proved a disappointment to many of the exhibitors, the show-giving club and its able superintendent, E. L. Joel. From a steady climb to an entry of close to 500 in 1935 it dropped to an entry of 281 this year. Many factors are blamed for this. The date, the last Saturday in August, long reserved for this show by the American Kennel Club, was used this year by one or two other clubs on the Eastern circuit. Some entries . were doubtlessly deflected to those shows. While ostensibly the dog show is sponsored by the Cumberland Fair Association, in reality the fair has paid less and less attention to the live stock and other legitimate exhibits of a State or county fair, and has de- voted more and more attention to the horse races. The locale of the show mili- tates against it. While the fair grounds are in a beautiful, nat- ural bowl of the mountains, what man has done to the place is not pretty to see. ‘The buildings devoted to the show are both inadequate and inconvenient. Lastly, many of the active members of the Western Maryland Kenneb Club are interested in Boston terriers and nothing else. They got out the Boston entry to a total of 61 dogs, but forgot that in an all-breed show there ought to be entries of fair size in many breeds. Dogs from Washington and nearby made an unusually good record at this show, many of them attaining group honors. In group I, the English set- ter Potomac Senator, owned by Ed. Altemus of Bethesda, placed second in the group. In hounds, that out- standing whippet Ch. Mica of Me- ander, owned by the Meander Ken- nels of Locust Dale, Va., placed first. Two local dogs made good in the working group. Tommy O's Freya, & Doberman Pinscher bred in Rockville, Md., by Thomas Owings, was second, and Dr. W. R. Compton’s seven- month-old German Shepherd Claus of Clarandall was fourth in the group. Third in the terrier group was taken by the standard schnauser Maxine von Reinhard, owned by Mrs. J. J. Reinhard of Foxhall road. One of the interesting tab- leaus in this show was the pic- 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR » G.

Seeded Stars. BY SCOTTY RESTON, Associated Press Sports Writer. OREST HILLS, N.Y., September 7.—Sifted down to the round I of 16, the national tennis singles champlonships were ready for the showdown today. In the men’s tournament 11 of the 13 originally seeded players had sur- vived and in the women’s 8 out of 10 had come through. But they get no more help from the draw now. From here in, it's “play your best or go home.” From top to bottom of the upper bracket in the men’s tournament the pairings were as follows: Bryan Grant, Atlanta, vs. Pierre Pelizza, France; Bobby Riggs, Los Angeles, vs. John Van Ryn, Philadelphia; Sidney Wood, New York, vs. Henry M. Culley, Santa Barbara, Calif, and Fred Perry, England, vs. Gene Mako, Los Angeles. These matches were scheduled for today, with Grant, Riggs, Wood and Perry favored. Youngsters Arouse Interest. 'HE lower bracket looked like this: Don Budge, Oakland, Calif., vs. M. Eugene Smith, Berkeley, Calif. McDiarmid, Princeton, N. J., vs. Yvon Petra, France; Frank Parker, Spring Lake, N. J., vs. Robert Harman, Oak« land, and Gregory Mangin, New York, vs. Bernard Destremau, France. These are to be played tomorrow and the critics generally pick Budge, Mc- Diarmid, Parker and Mangin. ‘Though most of these players are well known, several of the youngsters are especially interesting. Bobby Riggs is rated perhaps the most promising youngster in the country today. He is 17 years old and last year was ranked No. 1 among the Nation's junior players.
