A-14 = Brownell Modest Golf Champion : Boy of 14 Stars at Horseshoes Al Tips Newest Barabas HOPES TOWIN ONE (1S, MEET MATCH Good Play at Garden City . Will Satisfy Youthful B D.C.Title Holder. BY W. R. McCALLUM. OBBY BROWNELL, the slender lillte 17-year-old blond from Manor, who so far this year has been the real sensation of golf in these precincts, is going at the golf game and the national cham- pionship in a sensible way. Bobby beat Roger Peacock last Bunday at Manor to win the District championship, but he hasn't played s round of golf since and he won't play again until he unlimbers his war clubs Friday at Garden City. “I felt pretty good after that Dis- trict championship,” said Bobby, “but George Diffenbaugh didn’'t want me to tire myself out. He's my golf doctor, you know. And George asked me not to play any more until we go to Garden City.” They are to leave tomorrow, which will give Bobby three days of practice over the championship layout. Rough Road for Youngster. IT'S asking too much of a youngster " with so little experience in the game to hope that he can move along far in the national just due to open at Garden City next Monday. But Bdbby, with all his natural ability, hfs confidence and his fine putting stroke, may win two or three matches. “However, youngsters generally don't g0 very far in national competition until they have packed a few big tournaments under their belts. Billy Howell did it at Richmond, and there was a guy named Jones who did fairly well in his first attempt, but they are rare. The national championship is the big show of golf, an affair where every guy you meet is a champion of one kind or another, and there aren’t any pushover matches anywhere along the line. But Bobby Brownell isn't going to Garden City with any funny ideas about winning the national the first time out. “Gosh, I hope I can win & match; maybe two,” he says. “I'm #0 glad to be able to go, it has me all Jittery. And if I play well it will satisfy me even if I get bumped off quick.” Capital Well Represented. OGER PEACOCK isn't going to Garden City until Saturday. Claude Rippy won't be there until the same day, but Forrest Thompson, the tall Beaver Dam surprise package, is there now. Tommy Webb of Washing- ton, Levi Yoder of Kenwood and Gene Pittman of Kenwood will be there by Friday, while Volney Burnett of Indian Spring plans to leave here Friday for the scene of the title tourney. With eight such good strokers in the championship line-up, you can look for one or two of ’em to go to the fourth or fifth round. If Peacock, a man with plenty of championship ex- perience, regains his form of last year he will be tough to beat by any one in the field. So will Yoder, who licked Francis Ouimet last year. — COUNTY BOWLERS MEET Three Prince Georges Loops to Make Season’s Plans. Three Prince Georges County bowl- ing leagues will hold meetings with- in the next three nights, the Men's and Women's and Industrial loops.

CAPITAL SKIPPERS SET SAILING PACE Ten Score in Annual Regatta at West River—Wallace, 1933 Victor, Wins Again. ‘EN Washington skippers carried off honors in the seventh annual regatta of the West River Sailing Club, which was held on the West River over the past week end. The Capital, in addition, nearly monopo- lized the regatta, 49 of the 65 con- testants being Washingtonians. Richard Wallace repeated a victory he scored in 1933, when he raced his Osprey home first in the albatross class, thereby gaining his second leg on the trophy, the only one to hold it more than once. Arthur Fifer won the boys' race in his Madic, while Clark’s Comet, No. 263, captured the handicap event. Of Labor day’s 11 events, all but one went to Washington pilots. Os- borne Owings won the Wagner Me- morial Trophy Race for the second year in succession in his Vanity, in addition to sailing the same craft to victory in the 20-foot class. Among the cruising boats L. W. Hewens’ yawl, Nenemoosha, was pro- nounced the fastest boat, but Arit's Verdonia was awarded the victory on the corrected time basis. Other events were decided as follows: Alba- tross class, won by Bill Heintz in Madic; sea-witch class, won by Fifer in Sea Witch II; comet class, won by D.

The setto expected to determine whether or not Jack Hagerty will continue to use the shift recently inserted into the Hoya attack. ‘The shift has been used daily in backfield practice, but has not been tested in actual scrimmage. - If the shift does not hinder the effectiveness of his backfield, the Hoya mentor intends to continue it. The scrimmage also was to de- termine the future of Tony Barabas and Joe Prank, recently shifted from the line to the backfield. Both have shown promise, but have not been under fire. Heat Causes Let-Up. YEST!:RDAY, because of the heat, the drills were lessened in in- tensity and duration. Only the line- men were given contact work.

He threw 57 ringers and scored 202 points to top the early performers in the Old Dominion event. ‘This, however, did not make Henry appear very formidable as a con- tender for the metropolitan title, for a few days before the holder of that crown put on an exhibition that would require world championship stuff to beat. In a special match with Clayton Henson at Orkney Springs, Deadpan averaged 76 per cent ringers to win five straight games. The percentages ran between 72 and 80.

BRAKES RELINED 28 02 $4.50 Cliff’s Brake Service PLYMOUTH 2002 K St. N.W. WE. 1678 - MEETS THE CHALLENGE OF A NEW DAY! The day has come! An era is being born. Streamlined trains rocket to new horizons at unheard- of speeds. Ocean greyhounds smash record after record. Beetle-nosed planes, crowded with passen- gers, flash across the skies. And on the smooth, broad ribbons of America’s highways air-streamed motor coaches and fast-moving trucks wage a ruth- less war on time and costs and distance. Yet the marvels of our transportation renaissance are only a feeble hint of the wonders to come. Restless man tomorrow will laugh at the magic of today. New developments will continue to make obsolete all of the present standards of speed and comfort and safety in transportation, of low-cost dependability in haulage. ‘To the pioneers of modern motor transportation these changing times present a ringing challenge. And Reo, with its brilliant background of 32 years achievement, accepts this challenge! Henceforth, all of Reo’s vast experience, ample re- sources and creative man-power will be exclusively devoted to the further development of commercial transportation. ‘Two factors have influenced this progressive decision. First: so tremendously has highway transportation expanded, that only through concentration on the new problems can any manufacturer hope to keep pace with the march of progress. And second: com- mercial transportation has reached the stage where it can no longer be consideted a side-line. The truck and bus and trailer engineer has no more lessons to learn from the passenger car. His problems today can be solved only through specialization. Consider the facts. In 1935, there were 3,655,705 previous year. east to-west. trucks in actual use in this country. This represents an all-time record—yet 1936 is an even greater truck year! And as business continues to improve, the demand for trucks must inevitably increase. Nearly 1,325,000 miles of route are being covered today by 117,850 buses—a huge increase over any More livestock today is being transported by truck than by rail, and railways themselves are using nearly twice as many trucks as they did in 1934. Over half a million Americans are living in trailers, constantly on the move from north to south, from And trains and ships and planes propelled by gaso- line and Diesel motors are daily establishing new standards of speed and safety and comfort in the transportation of freight and passengers. What glorious opportunities this coming-of-age of transportation offers the commercial vehicle specialist! to recovery! Opportunities for the enrichment of reputation. Opportunities for larger profits. And opportunities to perform services indispensable to America’s march And so Reo is proud to proclaim its specialization in the development of commercial transportation. Specifically, this means the immediate expansion of the Reo line of trucks and buses. It means that present service facilities are being enlarged and developed. It means that Reo’s trained personnel has turned the great Reo research and testing labo- ratories into a vast proving ground devoted to the improvement of motor transportation. And finally, it means that Reo today takes an even firmer hold on a position of leadership than it has enjoyed for 32 years! REO MOTOR CAR COMPANY, LANSING, MICHIGAN
