B—8 #a Latona Gritty in Net Triumph : Golf M, Yank Fans App | Beaten in First Two Sets of | Federal Meet Final by WO sets down, and facing four consecutive match points, Tony Latona, whose fighting man on more than one occasion, yes- terday staged one of the greatest ral- lies ever seen in local tennis circles and District employes’ championship for the third straight year.

Outlasting the bespectacled Secur- set, that marked the turning point of the two-hour struggle, Latona went on to win at 7—S5, and then, his con- McElvenny. BY BILL DISMER, JR.

Feat Worthy of Champ. IT WAS a performance worthy of & champion, and the blond Play- ground Department official played the hero's role for all it was worth. For two full sets and half of a third, McElvenny seemed incapable of | being stopped. His crisp ground strokes and frequent volleys were clip- ping the left side of Tony's court and his base line continually, and the lat- ter found his backhand no weapon worthy of repelling them. Among the crowd of 200 who were watching you could have bought Tony's chances for 1 to 5. Tony was playing well | enough to win the average match, but his foe was hitting them one better. Having taken 17 of the first 22 games, McElvenny was but one game | away from the title at 5—3 in the| third set. But Tony gave an indica- tion of what was to follow when he | won his service to bring the score | to 4—5, and then broke McElvenny after the server had him 40-love. Deadlocking the set, Latona surren- dered but one point during the next _two games to win his first set. Fresh After Intermisison.

Despite the fact that McElven- | and scored three of the four touch- Dax ney still held a 2—1 lead in sets, the odds were all on Tony to win the next two. | And they were not wrong. As the| rivals returned from their 10-minute rest, Latona appeared as fresh as when they had started; McElvenny | like a doomed man. Gone was Mac’s | sting from his racket and Tony soaked | his fast-tiring opponent on the run throughout. McElvenny still had his nerve—six of the last 12 games going | to deuce—but Latona's superiority was | pronounced, the last set taking but 15 minutes, Jimmy Heiskell won the consolation tournament when he defeated Hubert Treuthart, 6—1, 6—4. This afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Mary Rran and Sara Moore will play for the | women's championship. An hour later the men’s doubles title will be con- tested between the teams of Latona and Ed Mather and Art Simmons and Géorge Botts, with the former heavy favorites, COLORED NINES STRONG “Two Pro Teams Offer Big Game at Griff Stadium Today.

EW YORK, September 19.— Hurled back in their bid to grab second place at the expense of the new American League champions and, possibly, world champions, the Nationals tomorrow will bank on Joe Cascarella and Pete Appleton, the curve-ball twins, when the Harrismen quit New York for the year. ‘With Red Ruffing and Lefty Gomez slated to oppose them, the Griffs will play the Yanks in a double-header and then beat it back to Washington to close the season with three games inst Boston and another pair against New York at the end of the week. ‘The team of Cascarella and Apple- ton are overdue to come through. A week ago tomorrow they were sent to the mound in Chicago, where a double victory would have meant possession of second place. Both failed, although Appleton was not given the best of support. Cecil Travis earned the biggest “hand” of the day at Yankee Stadium today by his miraculous play at short- stop. Cecil made three great plays at the expense of Di Maggio, who went hitless when Buddy Lewis booted a | grounder of his and Ben Chapman made a remarkable catch of a line drive by Di Mag.

I of the and Jack Kenny of Dartmouth, the local College All-Stars foot ball team has gained much-needed strength for its fracas with the New York Giants at Griffith Stadium on October 1. Although a quarterback by choice, Kenny, a dependable blocking fleld | general, probably will be shifted to a | halfback post, with Jones, a colorful triple-threater, taking over the signal- calling duties in an effort to give the local club a highly diversified attack. Meanwhile, however, officials in charge of the game are continuing their efforts to secure the services of Bill Shakespeare, Notre Dame's all- America hip-twister, and the “Irish” star is expected to be signed early this week, Jones Threat to C. U. ‘T WAS Jones who nearly ruined Catholic University's clean slate be- fore De Paul accomplished that feat | | 1ast year. Jones scored Detroit's lone | touchdown and forced the Cards to rally in the last minute of play to score a touchdown and erase a one-point deficit, winning, 13-7. Kenny directed Dartmouth to a 14-6 victory over Yale last year, there- by smashing a jinx that had pursued the Big Green gridders for 51 years. He was rated one of the smartest grid- iron strategists in the East.

ARDEN CITY, N. Y., Septem- ber 19.—It looks as if the powers that pull the strings in golf in the land of the free are going to do something about the stymie—that iniquitous invention of some misguided guy who had the mistaken idea that to lift a ball in match play would bring down all the horrors of creation. For a week now the United States Golf Association, parent body of the game in this country, has been quiz- zing competitors in the national ama- teur championship, asking all sorts of soul-searching questions if a stymie popped up in a match and laying bare the heart of the stymie situation. At least it will be considered at the an- nual meeting next January and the U. 8. G. A, and although the solons won't admit anything yet, they may whack the darned thing out of exist- ence. 3 Get Dope on Stymie. “VWWHAT'S all the fuss about the| stymie in this championship?” I asked Joe Dey, the ex-newspaper man, who now holds down the job of executive secretary of the association. “Well, we want to find out all the! facts on the stymie as they occurred | in this championship,” Joe said. “Does that mean that it may be barred from match play at the next | annual meeting?” I asked. “No, I wouldn't say that,” Dey said. | “It simply means that we are getting | all the dope we can get on the stymie | under championship conditions. Cer- tainly the reports that we have gath- | ered all this week will be considered and a report will be made to the| Championship Committee. You know | and one or two more have barred the stymie,” he added. “And the District of Columbia Golf Association, t0o,” I told him. “I didn’t know that,” Joe said, “but it's all part | of the sentiment that seems to be roll- | ing up against the stymie. Of course, | I can't tell what the U. 8. G. A. will | of skill. I mean the playing of the stymie, of course, not the laying of |it, for any man who intentionally can |lay a stymie can knock the ball into | the cup.” | Peacock Weak on Short Putts. SO THERE you have it. For a week the U. 8. G. A. asked every con- testant in the championship whether | he had a stymie in his match, from | what distance, on whaf stroke and how it affected the match, if at all. | They have all the dope before them | | now and it may be that the thing will | be knocked out next Winter. | Again a 3-foot putt has cost Roger Peacock a shot at the national ama- | teur championship. Those 3-footers |seems to be the stymie that keeps Roger from getting along in a game | | In which he is an undoubted star and | worthy of top ranking. He missed | | three of them in the match in which | | he lost to Eddie Held last year by | | 2 and 1, and here at Garden City he | blew another one. on the eighteenth hole. where a holed 30-incher would | have pushed the match to an extra hole. Of course, when a guy misses | two wee ones in the amateur cham- | plonship he is licked. You simply can't do it and win matches in fast company, but Roger has missed his share so far in his brief champion- ship career. Trying to get an ap-| | proach putt dead against young Davie | Davis of Austin, Tex., Roger left him- | self 30 inches short. He missed the 1 Putt to carry the match to the nine- | teenth. It seems a shame that the | best golfer we have around Wash- ington should founder on a 30-inch putt. Brownell Advised by Horton. BOBBY BROWNELL, the District | amateur champ, got a real thrill out of watching the champions and | the famous golf figures around Gar- | den City. Bobby talked with Hor- ton Smith for an hour, listening avidly to words of wisdom from like- able Horton. “Don’t change your swing, lad,” Horton said. “If you Ret results with your swing and you ars convinced you can hit the ball well with it, keep on hitting just that way. I've seen many good golfers go to pot when he tried to imitate the stvle of some champion whof he things plays pretty well. Keep that old swing as long as it keeps you winning.” Horton looks forward to the match at Kenwood on October 11, when the Spalding troupe will show their wares. BASE BALL VET DIES William Hart Had Long Career in Majors and Minors. CINCINNATI, September 19 (#).— ‘William F. Hart, 71, who for 32 years pitched . and umpired in major and minor base ball leagues, died today of a heart attack. He started his base ball career in 1885 with Chattanooga of the South- eQbume. later playing with Lincoln, Neb., Buffalo. N. Des Moines, Iowa, Sioux City, Iowa, Brooklyn, Pitts- burgh, St. Louis Nationals, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Peoria, Columbus, Little Rock and Chattanooga. 20 Years Ago IN THE STAR. Pounding _four Cleveland pitch- ers for 11 hits, Washington won the first game of the series, 9-6, increasing the margin over the seventh-place Indians to two full games. Only a consistent winning streak, however, will allow the Nats to finish in the first division. ‘R. E. Van Vliet, formerly of the SPORT Golf (Continued From Page B-6.) stroke, the tiniest nerve quiver and 1t would be all over. McLean wouldn't miss that putt to win. = He stepped up to the ball and stepped away as a camera started to whirr. Then he settled down to stroke it with the firmness and gentle touch of a mother fondling her first born. It never hesitated, dropping into the cup as & yell that must have shocked the gold fish in Lake Cordelia flung from 5,000 throats. The match was square, just as they started this morning. Fischer hit a great tee shot on the thirty-seventh. Some may call it lucky for bouncing out of a bunker, but that bunker happens to be 265 yards away and no ball hit that hard could stay in such a shallow trap. McLean followed with one 30 yards shorter. Then the Scotsman, his nerves probably rubbed raw by the tension, overpitched into a bunker. Fischer chipped short by 25 feet. McLean went down in the bunker and played a great shot £ feet from the pin. Not every man could have done it from that trap with a championship de- pending on it. ‘Then lanky John, his face a mask of solemnity, stepped up, hardly looked over the line and stroked the putt. For a second it looked as if the ball wouldn't get there, but it rolled and rolled, and then barely lobbed over the lip of the cup. The match was over, the lionlike courage of the tall boy from Kentucky at last had won him the title for which he has been trying for five years. A great match and a great champion. John Holds Medal Record. ISCHER never before had gone further in this tournament than the quarter-final. Last year he was bumped out in the first round. He tied Bob Jones’ medal record of 142 at Baltimore in 1932 and set a new record of 141 at Cincinnati in 1933. He will hold that one forever, for the U. 8. G. A. apparently doesn't plan to the Massachusetts Golf Association hold any more qualifying rounds at | the scene.of the championship. John won the intercollegiate title at Hot Springs in 1932 and played in the championship last year at Con- gressional, getting licked in the semi- final by Freddie Haas.

The winds, a literal gale yesterday | as the hurricane tore over Long Island and passed east, had died down to a brisk breeze and McLean, used to such conditions on his native heath, played in the breeze like a master. If they hold the championship in a big wind again you can look for McLean to go pretty well. The slim blond really knows how to make the hall do tricks in the breeze. Fischer started as if he would make & runaway match of it. He made two mistakes on the first nine—at the sixth and eighth, dropping both holes. But he turned 1 up and added the tenth to his collection when McLean was trapped. The Scotsman won the long thirteenth with a par 5 and the | fourteenth with another par when Fischer found bunkers, and he fipislied the round by birdieing the last two holes to go to lunch 2 up.
