A—-14 Golf Duffers Finally Get ‘Break’: Horseshoe Tourney Opens Tomght One Strlke Puts Umpire Down and QOut! BY W. R. McCALLUM. OHN Q. DUFFER, the com- clubs scattered over the length and breadth of the United States, is to thousands of acres of manicured pas- tures which gave him nothing but a best Johnny himself has been able to do has been a feeble 100, with an 4f the quiet revolution that has bzen instituted among club officials, at the Club, Ball Makers Backing _Campaign Meant to Draw More to Links. plaisant, uncomplaining guy who pays the bills for the up- keep of some 3,000 country get a break at last. For years John has reached down in his jeans to pay the upkeep on lot of grief and mental jitters. He's watched the scratch golfers burn up the courses in the low 70s, while the occasional dip into the high 90s. And he has kept pretty quiet about it. But that’s all going to be changed, behest of golf and golf ball manu- facturers, works out the way it's sup- posed to work out. Campaign Under Way. TH.E fact is that a campaign has s been started, and now is going on, to make it possible for John Q. Duffer, all two million of him, to bust 100 with some regularity. The campaign will be worked through club officers and club professionals, with the im- mediate aim the softening up of club courses by shortening tees, cutting Tough and eliminating many bunkers. “Let Pine Valley and the other tough courses stay where they are, but give us courses where the 18- handicap men can break 100 once in a while” is the new cry, according to Bob Harlow, the P. G. A. tourna- ment manager, who gets around and keeps in touch with the latest in golf developments. “The method will be simple enough,” Bob wires us. “Club officials and pro- fessionals are going to be urged to make the courses several strokes easier by whatever means are neces- sary. The theory is that practically all courses are much too difficult for the army of players and beginners and for that reason golf loses thousands of patrons. Courses Can Be Softened. T WOULD be possible, rotund Rob- ert says, “to make courses several strokes easier by changing tee mark- ers, widening fairways, cutting rough and eliminating bunkers. As it is now club officials sit up at night trying to figure out how to change a hole so the only scratch player in the club can't get a par more than once in three tries, and the majority of the members can help themselves to sixes and sevens. The tip-off is that golf wants to win a new army of patrons against present-day sports competi- tion developed in reports from resort courses. “A survey of the customers indicated | that whenever a golfer played a resort course in what amounted to a record score for himself, he immediately wrote to the folks back home, telling them that he had discovered the world's best climate, the softest beds, the most delicious food, gorgeous scenery and the finest golf course. “As a postscript the cheerful gent would inclose his golf score, showing he had been around in 86 whacks. ‘When his pals back home read this card they couldn’t get up to the place fast enough, because they knew that at the home club their associdte had great trouble in beating 100. Even Good Golfers Squawk. T HE reaction on golters playing re- sort courses of championship caliber is exactly the reverse. After a bad experience they've come dragging into the locker room with 2 bad disposition and no card. They never write home about such a course. They go home. “It has further been discovered that even the class of golfers who have mastered the game on the present form of golf course and can play between 77 and 84 become dis- gusted with the game and themselves when they get on-one of the real tough golf tests and come reeling into the nineteenth with an 87. +“Nothing would help the game,” Bob adds, “more than a softening up of the courses so the new player and the poor golfer would get some grain of encouragement and confidence in his ability and get, likewise, some pleasure out of a game that for most is far too tough.” And how will it be done? By prop- aganda, of course. You can look for the propaganda to start most any time now. For it's a fact that the club and ball manufacturer are deeply concerned about future sales. 'rhey want new golfers and lots of ‘em, and they think they can be brought into the game by making the courses easier. Stars Yesterday By the Associated Press.

Flown here by Capt. Eddie Ricken- backer, the Great Neck All-Stars from Long Island, N. Y., dropped both ends of the double-header to the local ag- gregation, 4-3 and 6-4. That first victory, coming to the radio nine in the tenth inning, ended a avinning streak of the visitors which had prevailed during an extended road trip. Anderson turned back the New Yorkers with nine hits in the first game, while Stockwell limited them to eight in the nightcap. The locals came from behind to win the second game with a three-run rally in the eighth. ROCKVILLE IN STREAK Rockville A. A. scored its fourth triumph of the week end and its star hurler, Ben Coleman, registered his fourth straight slab victory as the Chevy Chase Grays fell by 7-to-4 on ‘Welsh Field, at Rockville, yesterday. Les Butcher of Bethesda, who is under contract with Connie Mack’s Athletics, was rapped for 10 safeties by the winners, three of which were collected by “Bammy” Beane, Rock- ville second sacker. ROSENBLOOM BOUT OFF. Television, by the majority of passes last season, is expected to be the hub of the G. W. sky assault, although each back will receive extensive drilling in tossing in order to round out a deceptive attack. Calisthenics, punting, passing and fundamental lessons in blocking and tackling occupied candidates for the eleven today as Pixlee, Bill Reinhart, backfield coach, and Barton Koch, line mentor, focused their eyes on lads who must fill the shoes of such graduated stalwarts as Leemans, Harry Deming and Ed Clark, tackles; Ben Plotnicki, back; Red Rathjen, center, and Sid Kolker, guard. Jack Espey, dapper George Wash- ington publicity man, is the only casualty of the camp thus far. Espey, who was taken sick here yesterday, was rushed to a Washington hospital for treatment. RETAINS GOLF TITLE Schiller Is 3-2 Eastern Shore Vic- tor Over Shannahan. ’ EASTON, Md., September 8 () — Joe Schiller of Salisbury tucked the Eastern Shore championship back in his golf bag today beside the putter and irons which carried him through a stiff 36-hole fight to hold the title. Schiller, his margin apparent in approaches and putts, turned back a final threat by William Shannahan of Easton yesterday to win 3 and 2. Shannahan had plenty of power at the tee, but lost out in the traps and on the greens. Schiller was 7 up on the twenty- ninth hole, but they halved the thirtieth, and Shannahan took the next four to carry the battle through | the thirty-fourth hole. The Salisbury | shot-maker survived a starting field of 67. MAY TOUR AUSTRALIA. Coach Spud Harder may take his Santa Barbara (Calif.) State College base ball team on a tour of Australia [ | next Summer. BY GEORGE HUBER. UNSTON COVE, Va, gen- erally is considered to be ‘Washington's A-1 bass fish- ing hole. That is, it is the best place within easy driving distance where there is a reasonable expecta- tion of catching a few bronze backs. It is about a 45-minute drive down the Mount Vernon Boulevard, through Accotink and Pohick Church, turning left a few miles past the church to- ward Gunston Hall. All but the last 4 miles are excellent paved highways. It is not as good as the Shenan- doah, the south branch of the Po- tomac, the Susquehanna or Cono- wingo Dam, but it is much nearer town and a few big ones are hanging | around just waiting for the right lure to come their way. Boats cost abcut $1 a day, sometimes less, and the only other expense is your Virginia fishing license which you should have any- way. The main feature which makes the cove so attractive to anglers is that most of the time it is clear. The Shenandoah or Susque- hanna may be muddy, the Poto- mac generally is, but nine times out of ten you will find clear water in Gunston Cove. ‘The reason for this is simple. It is fed by two good-sized streams, Acco- tink and Pohick Creeks. The muddy waters of the Potomac sweep by with- out entering except for a short dis- tance when the tide is coming in, and this is soon gone. Cove Ideal for Bass. ‘ATURE has endowed it with plenty of weed beds and lily pads—ideal bass playgrounds. This is especially true of the south shore- line. As in a similar bass hole further up the river, the Piscataway, the fish here are large mouths. A few scat- tered small mouths are found, but not many. The cove should not be passed up because of that, these fish furnish plenty of scrapping on light tackle. It is better than the Piscata- way as they are larger and there are more of them. At present these bass are biting on metal and pork rind baits better than on plugs. The guides will swear by the Al Foss shimmy wiggler, but the lone bass we were able to catch yes- terday afternoon was lured #board by using a Heddon ace with a pork rind strip substituted for the feather. We saw a nice string of seven, weighing up to 3 pounds, which were caught on a Johnson silver minnow and pork rind. ¥ ‘Whatever lure you are using, extreme casting accuracy is necessary so that you can come close to the line of weeds with- out getting tangled. The weeds grow so thick in spots that even weedless hooks will become fouled. Large Channel Bass Caught. WHILE this department was tr}mg‘ w0 lure a few bass into a creel SPORTS. 4 - M Potomac, near Point Lookout. It was caught still fishing with cut spot for bait. The lucky angler was Marshall Bur- | dette, and the marvelous thing about his catch is the tackle on which it was taken. He was using a No. 17 cable snelled hook, dragless reel, bam- boo rod and 15-thread Ashaway line. A No. 17 hook is about the size usually used for trout, hard- head and other small species, and that it held this large fish is nothing short of a miracle. The 15-thread line only tests 45 pounds when new. ‘When the fish was hooked, Capt. Albert F. Greenwell told Burdette to throw in his’drag, but having no drag he had to do all the heavy work with his thumb. It really was heavy work, too, and iasted 45 minutes before the big bass was boated. BIBLE CLASS PINMEN FORM CLOSED LOOP Chevy Chase Presbyterians to Open Season on Bethesda Drives September 18. NE of the only two known bowling leagues in the city sponsored ex- clusively for a church's membership has been reorganized by the Clyde Kelley Bible Class of the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church for the 1936-37 season, with W. O. Cooley as the presi- dent. The other similar loop, also sponsored by a Presbyterian Church, Central, is expected to be reformed be- fore October 1. Eight teams will roll in the Chevy | Chase Church’s league, with the fol- lowing captains: J. Hicks Baldwin, Neville Buckingham, Allan Davis, | Ralph Conover, H. W. Johnson, Walter Miller. H. W. Stewart and Robert W. Thomas. Modre than 50 active bowlers, all | recruited from the Clyde Kelley Class, are expected to roll at Henry Hiser's Bethesda alleys during the coming season, starting September 18.

Presents Accurate Gauge . of Twirler’s Ability to Toss Ringers. OW many ringers can you pitch in 100 attempts? Like the golfer who, occa~ sionally performing in the 80s, proclaims himself an “80-shooter,” your hoss shoe flinger as a rule is ine clined to exaggerate, even to himself, the number of 3-pointers he nestles around the stake on an average. If you want an honest reckoning of your ability, try your hand tonight | or tomorrow night in the qualifying | round of the seventh annual Evening Star championships. If you live in Washington, report to Bernard McCarthy of the Municipal Playground staff at the Eckington Rec- reation Center courts, beside the Tech High swimmung pool; if a Virginian, to George C. Thompson at Falls Church, and if a Marylander, to Mayor W. N. Mahaffey at Brentwood. No Obligation Entailed. 'HERE is no entry fee nor any other requirement except that one have a penchant for tossing the irons, Mc- Carthy, Thompson and Mahaffey will be at their respective courts by 7:30 to supervise play. An entrant may take the qualifying test tonight or tomorrow night. The 16 high scorers in each sector will qualify for the championships, with the titles for Washington, Mary- land and Virginia to be awarded through elimination. In the 100-shoe pitch, a ringer will count three points and any shoe with- in 6 inches of the peg, one point, total points to make up the qualifying score. Match play will be held Priday and Saturday nights. If conditions per- mit, the tournaments will be played out to the finals Friday night and the finalists 1» Maryland and Virginia will be brought in to shoot it out along with the Washingtonians for their respective titles, the champicne ship matches to be played or the Eckington courts. This will be an innovation. Heretofore State honors have been settled entirely on local courts. Makes Big Show of Finals.
