Deadpan Frye of Orkney Springs, the Virginia titleholder, will remain a spectator until called upon to defend the metro- politan district championship in a tournament next week that will in- clude besides himself the five leading performers in each of the events that get under way tonight. All of the leading pitchers in Wash- ington and the neighboring counties of Maryland and Virginia qualified. Bill Moore, the D. C. champ, turned in the best performance of the 100- shoe qualifying round with a total of 233 points, which included 74 ringers. Moore’s principal rival in the play- offs is Harry Saunders, former met- ropolitan and Washington champion. They likely will meet in the final. Heary Still Trying. “IA.RR.ELL'! most formidable com- petitor is Lee Fleshman, former Maryland title holder. The Virginia scrap is expected to simmer down to Boo Henson, holder | of the world record for consecutive ringers made in competition—33— and Ed Henry, who for seven years has been trying arduously to win the Old Dominion title and lately has dmproved his game markedly. The semi-finalists and the winner of a consolation contest among the defeated quarter-finalists in each tournament will qualify for the met- ropolitan Washington play-offs, which will open next Wednesday night at Eckington. — NAVY YARD PINMEN GET AWAY TONIGHT Officials of Big Gun Plant to At- tend Formal Inaugural of 40-Team League.

PRESSURE ONU.S. INTITLE NET PLAY Stammers Rated Even With Jacobs, Perry Big Choice in Semi-Finals. BY BOB CAVAGNARO, Associsted Press Sports Writer. /IOREST HILLS, N. Y., September F 11.—The chips were down to- day in the United States singles | tennis championships, with the | pressure on the six American survivors. | Fred Perry of England was a top- | heavy choice to repeat his recent tri- umph over Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, fr. | of Atlanta, and his compatriot, Kay Stammers, the slashing southpaw, was held on even terms with Helen Jacobs, | the four-time title holder, in the out- | standing matches of the four semi- | finals. In the other semi-finals, Don Budge, Oakland, Calif., red-head, engaged Frankie Parker of Spring Lake, N, J., and Alice Marble of San Francisco op- posed Helen Pedersen of Stamfosd, Conn., with Budge and Miss Marble favored to gain the final. Severe Test for Jacobs. interest in the penultimate contests centered in the Anglo- American meeting between Miss Stam- mers and Miss Jacobs. Helen still is bothered by a dislocated thumb on her right hand, but the injury didn't seem to bother her yesterday, when she crushed Gussie Raegener of San Francisco, 6—1, 6—0. Miss Stammers, playing in the championship for the third time, made & big impression on observers two days 8go in beating Carolin Babcock. Tt is that performance, plus her two vic- tories over Miss Jacobs In Wightman Cup competition, that are influencing crities to concede her an even chance | against the veteran champion, who | wants to win the title just once more to become the first player to triumph five straight years. Miss Jacobs hasn't been extended thus far in the champlonship and it's conjectural whether her finger will handicap her if Miss Stammers gains the upper hand and pours on the pressure. There’s this much in her favor, however, from a standpoint., Miss Stammers s known to suffer & let-down after winning & hard match, Perry’s Path Less Hazardous. va's path to the title seems less hazardous than Miss Jacobs'. Both Grant and Budge appear to be over-tennised, what with constant campaigning since February. Perry whipped them both at Wimbledon this year on the way to his third straight all-England title. As for Parker, he looks only a little improved over last year when Perry crushed him here in straight sets with the loss of only six games. up perspirstion in cutting down John McDiarmid in straight sets.

ASHINGTON'S pachyderm patrons in general and Referee Cyclone (Breezy) Burns in particular al- tered their estimate of burly Joe Cox today following the Kansas City grap- pler's finest display of showmanship of the season last night in losing to CIHiff Olson in the feature bout of the weekly wrestling card at Grifith Sta- dium. Pitted against Olson, who substi- tuted for Gino Garibaldi when the latter failed to appear, Cox found it difficult to lose to his colorless oppo- nent until he conceived the idea of being disqualified by flipping the pudgy Burns from the ring. It was all very dull until Cox ruf- fled Burns' dignity. Peanut vendors were yelling “Something to eat while you wait—for action.” Olson appar- ently was content to squat in the cen- ter of the ring and test his arm lock on Cox all evening. Cox, however, had other ideas.

Burns retaliated with a right push and Cox flipped him between the ropes and | Olson then tossed Cox to the mat and held him there for five minutes. | Burns, who was supposed to crawl back into the ring and count out Joe, couldn’t make the grade, so Cox broke the hold and bashed Burns again when the arbiter climbed back into | the ring. Burns finally succeeded in raising Olson's hand. The shower of peanuts, newspapers | and cigar butts aimed in the general direction of the loser, who was es- corted to his dressing room under | police protection, assures Cox of much work here. Nick Campofreda, former Western Maryland foot ball star, made an im- | pressive local debut by tossing Felix McQuade in 123, minutes, while | Ivan Managoff downed Felix Mar- shall In 14!> minutes. Other pre- liminaries saw Little Beaver and Eli Fischer work to a draw and Ed | Meske flip Al Billings in 19 minutes. GIRLS HAVE BIG INNING. Scoring 15 runs in the fourth in- ning, the Druid Hill girls’ soft ball team trounced a picked local ten, 20-6, yes- terday on the Banneker Recreation Center diamond. ' NGLERS generally have given up the idea of making nice bluefish catches this year, but they are not letting the dearth of blues discourage them. They are making plans to get some big trout with the same enthusiasm which marked the preparations when blues started to run. Grey sea trout, espe- cially the larger ones, are fairly game fish, and, if anything, demand a bit more finesse in hooking, playing and landing than do blues. It has been mentiened time and again, but the warning can- not be repeated toe often—trout bave a very weak mouth and camnot be hooked hard and recled in rapidly, and they should not be lifted out of the ‘water by the line. Use s net, always. What's more, the trout outlook is much better than the blue outlook. They are all over the bay now, and will be biting strong up to the end of October, and possibly into the middle of November. We saw a nice 4%%-pounder pulled in at Solomons Island yesterday, and received an en- couraging prediction from Cept. George Bowen. He has been in the sport-fishing game in Chesapeake Bay about as long as any one, and he says trout conditions are prime for séme ' big ones, and plenty of them. Hardhead Put Up Fight. ANOTHER thing which makes the situation attractive is that they are to be found on this side of the T bay. It is not necessary to take a long and expensive boat ride across. You will have no trouble in hooking and landing them anywhere fro Galesville and Shadyside, in the West River, on down to Point Lookout. This includes all way stations in between—Herring Bay, North Beach, Beaside, Plum Point, Dares Beach, Kenwood Beach and a half dozen others. Hardhead aren't biting as fre- quently as they did this Spring. This is very natural considering that their season is over, but those that are taken are quite large. The oid mossbacks have been feeding well this Summer and are plenty fat. What's more, they put up a good fight when heeked, something net met with in the Spring and Midsummer creaker. Other bay species which will find their way into the boat this week are rock, spot, perch and flounder. Few flounder have been caught, but few anglers have tried to find them. They live around the bottom near old piles, Good specimens usually are taken near old wharves or pound nets, Mariin at Ocean City. THE boys at Ocean City, Md., have located the marlin grounds again and caught three in one day. This sort of fishing is nearly over, though, and anglers going over there cannot count on it. Of those caught recently, three weighed better than 60 pounds. Prospects for other species are excellent there. The Fall run of channel bass is an and these will sat isfy nearly every one’s desire for heavy fishing. It really is heavy work, too, the way they do it at Ocean City. They take them surf casting at Fox Hill Levels. When one is hooked, it's a toss-up whether the hooked or the hookee will win. The bass tries to get the angler into the surf and the angler tries to get the fish to the beach. It's strenuous exercise. Wachapreague, Va., promises excellent angling aise. Trout, croakers, fluke and channel bass are the main attraction. At this locality the channel bass | are caught by trolling through shale low water along the sand beaches, Principle lures are big spoons and Japanese feathers.
