ARDEN CITY, scene of the 1908 and 1913 national championships, both won by Jerry Travers, is & course for the straight and narrow, stretching 6,808 yards over rolling terrain. Direc- tion is so essential on some holes that many players have been using shorter clubs. The front door of the fifth green, for example, is only 15 paces wide. The greens are of the circus variety with spotted bumps that are bound to take a heavy toll of shots. None of the favorites drew excep- tionally tough foemen today, but any- thing was apt to happen over 18 holes.

This one concerned the top star of 1936, up to date, lifted from any field. The parade slipped by—Jesse Owens, Max Schmeling, Joe' Louis, Fred Perry, Carl Hubbell, Glenn Morris—on and on. No argument of this sort can develop without entering the name of Tommy Hitchcock—not only the world’s greatest polo player, but also close to being the world’s greatest competitor. I saw Hitchcock play against the prison camp. Big-time polo is one of the hardest and roughest of all games, and for 16 years Hitchcock has taken more than his share of battering. It was Hitchcock more than any one else who brought in the new order of polo—the harder, faster riding and the harder hitting—let- ting science take its chance against the smash and dash of the wallop and the rougher road. You have to be two athletes rolled into one to play champion- ship polo, and yet, after 16 years, Tommy Hitchcock is better than he ever was before. The Argentines may stop him next week, but, if 80, they will know later they had something to stop. You can write against Hitch- cock’s name that he is skillful, fearless and enduring, and these are three of the great qualities of competitive sport. SR i T A U. S. Amateur Filled With Trepidation on Testing Garden City Greens the lowest scores returned during the practice rounds. But the boys are doing their shotmaking for keeps to- day, and Rippy's putting touch, good as it was yesterday, must remain the same to win a few matches here. It's that kind of course. The Washington lads wound up their practice sessions by hitting a lot of balls to each green. “Did you see that one?” asked Diffenbaugh, as Bobby Brownell's ball ran 30 feet past the pin on the fif- teenth. “He's got to learn, like the rest of the boys that they can't fling the ball at the pin here. It won't stick no matter how much stuff they have on it.” Which is the tip-off on what may happen in this championship. The guy who learns quickly that the fa- vorite pitch shot he used in Oshkosh or 'Prisco won't linger around the pin as it does,at home is the guy who is going to go far in this championship. Why Amateur Is “Open.” HOUT any Lawson Little or any Bobby Jomes around, the fortieth edition of the simon-pure title tourney looms as the most open of them all. John Goodman is the hot shot, with Scotty Campbell not so far behind, but over a golf course like this anything can happen. All championship courses are tough enough, and the greens at all such layouts are fast. But Garden City is going to set & new record for tough putting. “Think these greens are fast now,” said a bewhiskered oldtimer who sat at the eighteenth green yesterday watching the boys finish. “Why they are slow as death. I am a charter member of this club and I've seen the course develop from the days of Walter Travis. Some days all you have to do is to wave the putter over the ball and it starts rolling. They may be that way this week if we get & little wind and sunshine. Sports Program For Local Fans TODAY. Base Ball S ‘Washington at Chicago (2), 1:30.

Ray Stocklinski, ranked fourth in the seedings, defaulied his first-round match to George Botts, jr., who inci- dentally, advanced all the way to the third round without lifting a racket, with his second-round opponent also defaulting. Latona Takes Two. RECOGNIZED as the one to beat, Latona was in the fourth round today, winning two matches yesterday after getting a default from Robert Loney. Trimming Elwood Hoffecker, 6—1, 6—4, Tony then applied the whitewash brush to Harry Goldsmith in a couple love sets. Ed Mather, seeded third, was the only favorite not to play two matches, but the big red-top was down for a pair of tussles this afternoon, providing he gets by Austin Rice in a second-round match at 3 o'clock. If successful, he will play a third-round encounter against Stanley Haney. Ralph McElvenny, Herb Shenkin, Alan Staubly, Art Simmons and Mor- gan (Happy) Jacob were the other favorites down for third-round matches this afternoon.

NEW ORLEANS, September 14 (#). The once mighty and feared Tu- lane green wave that rolled over some of the best foot ball machines in the cdouncry is but a choppy breaker to- ay. Resuming the gridiron wars after the most dismal season in a decade, Tulane's prospect of regaining the top-flight position it occupied in Southern and national foot ball cir- cles appears dark. Fifty-two youngsters and a new set of coaches are digging away daily at the big Tulane Stadium, but if you ask Head Coach Lowell (Red) Daw- son it takes more than that to add up to & winning foot ball team.

EW YORK, September 14.— Out of the welter of the fifty- fifth United States singles ten- nis championships there was unmistakable proof today of Fred Perry’s words of wisdom—a lay-off never hurt anybody. During the early rounds of the tour- nament the black-haired, bounding Briton watched Donald Dudge, Amer- ica’s leading exponent of the sport, struggling against an inferior op- ponent. “Don’s over-tennised,” observed Perry. “He's been playing steadily for over a year. He ought to call it quits for six months. I was forced into a half-year's rest last year and it was a welcome respite after years of con- stant campaigning. I'm stronger for Fred Proves His Theory. ERRY proved his point by out- lasting the lanky 22-year-old Pa- cific Coast star in a grueling five-set final Saturday when he captured the crown and became the first invader to win the title three times. Alice Mar- ble of San Francisco forcibly re-em- phasized it, capping her come-back after a two-year enforced retirement by dethroning four-time champion Helen Hull Jacobs in three sizzling sets. The competitive spirit was there, but Budge's physical reserve had been exhausted when he had two golden op- portunities in the fiercely-fought fifth set to win the title. Twice the Cali- fornia youngster was within two points of victory, first in the tenth game and again in the sixteenth, with the score at deuce each time. “Midway through the final set I saw Budge was failing,” said the perspicacious Perry. “So I just bided my time. A youngster his age should have been able to hang on longer than he did. “But that's not intended as criticism. As I've said before, Budge has plenty of time. But he could speed up his conquest of the title, which now looks a year or two away, by putting his racquet aside for several months. matter. He'll be the world's greatest player some day if he continues to show improvement.” Miss Marble a Big Surprise. BUDGE exhibited his po!.muautie.si all through the championship match with Perry. At times he made | the acknowledged world's outstanding | simon-pure look almost mediocre. Perry’s form was in and out, but he lived up to his reputation as a great player when his number is up. Miss Marble sprang what probably will go down in history as one of the game's greatest surprises. There was nothing in her early play to indicate she had regained the touch which made her the country’s No. 3 player three years ago, before she became ill. The experts took her on face value and conceded her hardly more than an outside chance against Queen Helen. However, they quickly admit- ted their mistake, as she had Miss Jacobs playing into her hand with a masterful exhibition of deep driving and trap and drop shots. It won't hurt him or anybody, for that | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1936. Wild Scramble on for Golf Crown : Scot Hailed as Real Threat Speedboat Champion Will Drive Here SPORTS BARKS Aom OM . BY R. K. TAYNTON. HERE is a certain, subtle some- thing in the air this time of the year that turns the thoughts of the nimrod to- ward guns and woods and ltle, scurrying creatures. Running through his thoughts, pervading all else, is a vision of a dog, sniffing at all coverts, running far afleld, but coming back quickly at a beck or call, intensifying his pleasure at all the outdoor sounds and sights, recalling them to mind when the day’s sport is done. This phantom dog may be “just a dog,” but more likely it is a sleek-sided set- ter, with the burnished coat of the Irish clan, the softly mottled coat of the Englishman or the rich black and tan of the Gordon setter. Maybe it is & proudly-stepping pointer. Perhaps one of the spaniels comes more closely to his ideal of a hunting companion, the brown or black and white springer spaniel or the utility cocker, with his coat of almost every hue and pattern to please the color conscious. Maybe this particular nimrod pre- fers a “haound dawg.” Then his dream contains one of the merry little beagles, whose voice rings through the woods when a rabbit is scented. Maybe the foxhound or coonhound is his dream companion. Whatever the breed, a dog is a part of the picture. The very words, & walk through the woods, connotes a dog. And if Mr. Potential Nimrod has only & dream dog, now is the time to get & real flesh and blood one. There still is time to make the walks through the Autumn woods a reality. There | still is time to get and to know a dog | before the Autumn woods are Winter | woods. And by that time, the dog | will be a constant companion through any woods or just by the fireside, con- juring up thoughts of walks past and present. 'HE Old Dominion Kennel Club show is shaping up rapidly now. | The locale is the building at 520 | ‘Washington boulevard in Alexandria, Va. The date is October 17, a one-day, Saturday show. The premium list is & long and valuable one with many | trophies and much cash in most of the | breeds. At least three championship | points practically are assured in most of the popular and some of the more rare breeds. For information about the show, or helping in entering your | dog, address the club secretary, Miss Lucille Keefe, 4603 Thirteenth street northwest, or the chairman of the Bench Committee, Dr. William R. Compton, 4525 Ninteenth street north, Clarendon, Va., or the editor of this column, in care of The Star. ANOTBER dog show of great inter- est to local exhibitors takes place at Pikesville on September 26. This is the second annual sanction match of that up and coming organization known as the Baltimore County Ken- nel Club. The first one, which took place last Fall, broke all records for a match of this variety. It is hoped that this one, coming as it does, on the last day of national dog week, will surpass the first one. Dogs may be entered right on the grounds at the Pikesville Armory before Jjudging starts. Denizens of Baltimore and environs may choose their doggy fare on the Saturday of national dog week. In addition to the match mentioned the schools of Baltimore, under the leader- ship of Mrs. Roslyn Terhune, are stag- ing a mammoth pet show in Balti- more’s largest ball park. dogs, as well as “just pets” wilt be on exhibition, along with pets of many other varieties and kinds. There will be classes for all manner of dogs, and fun for all. MAN‘I people confuse the term thor- oughbred with purebred. The former is a breed of horse, just as the collie is a breed of dog. Purebred, however, is a term applied to dogs of known pedigree, all of whose ancestors have been of the same breed as the individual referred to. Pedigreed often is considered synonymous with pure- bred, although it is obvious that every | dog has some sort of pedigree. To all practical intents and purposes, though, the pedigreed dog is a pure- bred dog. An eligible dog is a dog eligible to registration in the Amer- ican Kennel Club, an individual from & registered litter, which presupposes that hoth its parents were registered; or a dog, which, due to its winning at licensed shows, has earned the right of registration in the American Ken- nel Club, ASK a breeder, or even the owner of a purebred dog, what breed of dog is best is equivalent to asking the mother of a first grader which is the most attractive child in the room. Each can see only his own darling. Yet there is no doubt that certain breeds are better for certain people than other breeds. The apartment house dweller may want, but should not have, a St. Bernard. The man with & quick, nervous temperament would be bored with the easy going ways of some of the hunting breeds. On the other hand, people with calm dispositions, or ner- vous people easily irritated, might be driven to distraction by the hair-trigger characteris- tics of certain terriers. In buying a dog as a companion for the next decade at least, it is well to take stock of one's own leanings and mischievous, 6-weeks-old puppy that is offered at & price within one'’s means. More often than not, the 4 to 8- months-old pup proves the wiser pur- chase. He gives promise of his ap- pearance at maturity. While he may have more exuberance at that age than he will later, one can judge some- thing of his disposition and tempera- ment by watching him at play in the kennel or with the members of his human family. The 6-weeks-old puppy may be compared to a 6-months-old human infant, while the older pup is analogous to the child of school age who already has well-defined charac- teristics which may be molded by training and environment. — GRID LOOPS TO FORM. ‘Teams desiring franchises in the National City 135 and 150 pound foot ball leagues should have represent- atives at a meeting tomorrow night at the Atlas Sport Shop, 927 D street, at 8 o'clock. tendencies, and not to be carried away | by the charms of the first, chubby, | : A—17 YANK PROS PRASE THOMSON'S CAME British Champion Regarded Clever Links Performer With All Clubs. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. OME of our professional golfers who saw the man perform in Great Britain pass along the word that Hector Thomson might very well win the United States national amateur championship at Garden City. It seems that Great Britain always has one or two ama- teurs considered a threat to our cham- pionship, but none of them displayed the technique necessary to carry the title across the ocean. But my in- formants tell me it is different with Hector Thomson. The son of a Scottish professional, Hector is the amateur champion of Great Britain and a skillful per- former with every club in the bag. Our professionals like the young man's | style from tee to cup and rate him as one of the best amateurs the Brit- | ish have produced since the World | War. If Hector is as good as the pro- | fessionals claim he may win at Gar- | den City, for it will be a wild scramble | there for the title vacated by Lawson Little. Goodman Strong Challenger. iOE‘F hand one must rate Johnny Goodman as the outstanding challenger for the championship. The little man has become a fine match | player over the last three seasons, and | Garden City is the sort of course that suits his accurate game. Goodman, of course, may go down and out in the first round, but of all the challengers he is my No. 1 candidate. After Goodman you can think of at least 20 capeble of winning. Walter Emery, the Oklahoman, who went to the finals last year, is a determined sort of a fellow, and if he hits the ball as well over Garden City as he did at Cleveland, it will take a lot of golf to beat him. Charlie Yates, the slim Georgian, is another who is about due to pick off the championship, and those representatives of Louisiana State University, Haas and Leslie, must be rated among the very best. Not many amateurs can play the game better than Scotty Campbell of Seattle. Scotty never has had much luck in the national amateur, but he is the favorite of many this year. Fischer Looks Dangerous. GEORGE DUNLAP played himself back into fine form for the | Walker Cup matches, and you may ex- | pect him to be tough at Garden City. A mental wager on Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati might pay a long price. The slender Ohioan is playing well | again after an off season and has plenty of shots. But why go on? There will be 200 starters in the championship fleld, and with 18 holes, the distance until | the final round, anything can happen | and likely will. Little's retirement left |the fleld wide open, and with the shadow of the broad-shouldered Cali- fornian no longer a mental hazard, the amateurs will put up a wide struggle for the championship. Accu- | racy and a keen putting touch will be | needed to win at Garden City, which | was the home course of Walter Travis, {and the fellow who can putt best | through the six days of competition will be the winner. | | HORSESHOE STARS READY FOR FINALS Moore, Frye Are Big Shots of Metro Play-0ffs to Open Wednesday. HILE horseshoe addicts con- tinued today to marvel over the performance of Bill Moore in shooting nearly 80 per cent ringers to retain the District championship Saturday, the dopesters calculated his chances of dethroning Deadpan Ray Frye of Orkney Springs in the Metropolitan Washington championship to open ‘Wednesday night on the Municipal Playground courts at Eckington. The Metropolitan play-offs will bring to a finish the seventh annual Evening Star tournament. Frye, Moore Co-Favorites. BU‘I‘ for Moore's sensational flinging Saturday, with Harry F. Saunders as his victim in four straight games, Frye would have entered the finals a moderately strong favorite to repeat. As matters stand, he will be no more than an even-money bet. Temple Jarrell of Hyattsville, who clung to the Maryland State title by downing Lee Fleshman of Rogers Heights, and Clayton Henson of Ar- lington, who won the Virginia cham- pionship with Ed Henry of Falls Church the loser in the final, are capable of beating either Frye or Moore. In fact, Jarrell has a pen- chant for upsetting Frye. Pairings Coming Up. PAIRINGS for the Metropolitalf event will be announced tomor- row. Frye will be seeded at the top and Moore at the bottom so that neither can meet until the last night. With Bernard McCarthy of the playground staff directing, the big ringer party will start at 7:30 o'clock with Wednesday’s competition to eliminate all but 4 of the 16 stars from Washington, Maryland and Vir- ginia who compose the field. Two out of three games will de- cide the winners until the final, which will be a four-out-of-seven battle. And if Moore and Frye reach the final, the most brilliantly contested horseshoe match. ever held in this 2 section likely will be the result. Sports Mirror By the Associated Press.
