A—14 Fischer Win Aids Fight on Stymie SPORTS. BIG BATTLE IS UE | ATWINTER PARLEY Critics Predict Long Reign‘ for Johnny Provided He Gains Strength. BY BOB CAVAGNARO, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, September 21— They're calling him John (King) Fischer today. The 24-year-old son of a Cincinnati mail man carried the mail through for the Stars and Stripes Sat- urday imethe final of the United States amateur golf championship. He nipped the challenge of Scotland's flashy Jack McLean by bagging birdies on the last three holes to close sensa- tionally an otherwise erratic match | and prevent the crown from crossing the Atlantic, as it did a quarter-cen- tury ago. Fischer, for several years regarded | @s title timber, realized his ambition the hard way, confounding older heads who said he hadn't the stamina nor physique to withstand the rigors of six days of the hardest kind of hand-to- hand struggles. Doubted Johnny's Stamina. ‘A FTER Friday's torrential down- pour and, windstorm, which marred an attractive semi-final pro- gram, it was not believed Johnny would be strong enough to repel Mc- Lean. On top of the physical pound- ing Fischer and McLean suffered from pranks of the treacherous weather, Johnny came out of the penultimate match against Johnny Goodman with & sprained ankle. It bothered him no little against McLean and almost cost him his title chances. | One down and three to go, the turn- | ing point from Fischer's standpoint | came on the thirty-fourth green. His | second putt stymied the Scot who ap- | peared virtually certain to win the | A | hole and become dormie two. Abou(‘ | Kenwood, where medal rounds in the EMBERS of the board of gov- ernors of the Washington Golf and Country Club will gather tonight to discuss measures for the reconstruction of the club house, destroyed a week ago by fire. It is understood that a tem= porary roof will be put on the locker rooms and lower floors of the house to permit use by members of the clun during the next few months of that part which still stands, and meanwhile the board will proceed with plans for rebuilding. Golf will continue at the club, where the golf shop and the locker rooms | are in use. Meals will be served at a nearby house and a phone has been installed in the golf shop. One of the bxéger \'_omen's tourneys of the year was inaugurated today at Post Cup aflair were being played, with Louise Claytor of Chevy Chase the defending champion. Thirty-two players will start on the match-play rounds to- morrow morning, with the tour- ney slated to wind up Saturday. Several of the leading golfers of the Capital will not play, but will be at Canoe Brook, N. J., practicing for the women's national tourney, which | starts next Monday. John P. Holzberg, Indian Spring| club champion of three years ago, to- | day tops the field in the medal round | for the club title now held by Volney | Burnett. Holzberg shot a 73 yesterday, with C. C.

Ellen Kincaid, women’s cham- pion, beat Mrs. Earl Sechrest in the first round of the event for the fair competitors. Lou Harrison, Argyle champion, went to the seventeenth hole to win from John Garner in the first round of the club title tourney. Sam Parks, medal- ist, was beaten by Maurice Cooper by 3 and 2. Up in the Bannockburn hills Bill Pendergast, one of the old guard at the Glen Echo club, shot a 75 to win the medal in the chase for the cham- pionship he has held several times before. Gardiner Meese, defending champ, shot 78. BOB BARNETT of Chevy Chase and Cliff Spencer of Beaver Dam whipped Danny and Alan Burton, Army-Navy pros, in an exhibition match at the service club by 2 and 1. Both the winners scored 72s, while Alan Burton had 72 and Dan 78. Spencer and Barnett had amassed a lead of three holes at the turn. ‘With several good golfers still to play in the medal rounds, Maj. J. E. McClure and Dr. Howard L. Smith were topping the qualifying field in the Congressional Club title tourney with level par 72s. Billy Shea, Billy Dettweiler and Roger Peacock haven't yet played their medal rounds. Several teams tied for first place in the best ball handicap tourney at Ken- wood. Those who tied were M. Nomax and F. Henderson, Red Digges and J. D. Weymer, J. E. Hutchinson, jr., and C. B. Hill and S. T. Price and George H. Parker, all with net 62s. Army-Navy bounl;y Club’s golf LUCK 15 SHOWERED ON BARNEY WELSH Already in Easy Quarter of Draw, His Strongest Rival Withdraws. HAMPION tennis players, like ( winning ball clubs, appar- ently get all the breaks. Already in the %asiest quarter of the draw of the second annual Fall tournament of the Play- ground Department, current on the Potomac Park courts, Barney Welsh awoke this morning to learn his path to the semi-finals had become prac- tically unobstructed—thanks to the withdrawal of his doubles partner, Ralph McElvenny. Finding his feet covered with blisters as a result of his five-set match with Tony Latona for the Gov- ernment championship on Saturday, McElvenny defaulted, leaving Welsh's quarter unmarked by a single player calculated to cause him trouble, Shenkin Plays Goubeau. ’I‘HB only remaining players now in the champion's quarter are Herb Shenkin and Maurice Goubeau, who play today for the right to meet Barney in the fourth round; Spencer Howell, | Billy Contreras and Bob Bradley. iCDmDflred with the other brackets | which find Gilbert Hunt, Stan Mc- | Caskey, Alan Staubly, Frank Shore, Harold McGuffin in one; Hugh Lynch, Ed Mather, Tom Markey, Bill Bu- | chanan and Deane Judd in another, |and Tony Latona, Ricky Willis and | Frank (Buddy) Goeltz in & third, | Welsh's task becomes more like play.

EW YORK, September 21.— —A singing tennis star, who hopes to do as much with her voice as she has with her tennis racket, has started back home to California with the ‘women'’s national tennis title, pre- viously held by two other Califor- nia women who are good at the arts. Blond Alice Marble—successor to Helen Jacobs, who writes, and Helen Wills Moody, who paints— has a trained contralto voice, plans to take more singing les- sons and likes nothing better than “a small group of friends who sit around and harmonize.” l ] Over to and cinnamon toast be- fore her departure, the 22-year- old girl, who toppled Miss Jacobs ' years, related gayly, “I like sad, sentimental songs. “I love to croon, ‘When It's Twi- light on the Trail.” “I am always in bed by 11 o'clock,” said Alice, who is lithe and green-eyed, 5 feet 7, weight 133. “I practice about two hours five days a week. I like simple " Ppleasures—dancing, mystery stories and small parties. She starts the day by drinking lemon juice in cold water, eats a hearty breakfast, & light lunch and “a really big dinner.” f centage EFORE foot ball shoves tennis entirely off the sports pages, particular attention should be B paid to the playground open tournament, in which second and third round matches are being played today on the Potomac Park courts. Aside from the enticing prospect of a final match between Barney Welsh and Gilbert Hunt, seven local players face the opportunity of bettering their records in three tournaments of the past five months in which they have gone at least as far as the quar- ter-final rounds. To date the quarters have * been confined to 11 players, five of whom have stuck in to the semi-finals and four of whom have played in title matches. Two of them, Yelverton Garnett and Dooly Mitchell, both of whom are among the four who have en- gaged in final rounds, are not entered in the current affair. Welsh and Hunt were the other finalists, each having a 1.000 per- in championship duels, through the fact that in no tourna- ment have both been entered before. Welsh captured the City of Wash- ington and District title before Hunt re-entered the local picture, and then, when Hunt stepped into the Middle Atlantic tournament, Welsh was on his Eastern campaign. HUGH LYNCH holds the best rec-; ord of others now competing, having been a semi-finalist in both the City and District tournaments, being eliminated by Welsh in the former and by Mitchell in the latter. He was out of the city during the Middle Atlantic. But a half-dozen .of the city’s best players have monopolized the quarter- final rounds. Tony Latona, Tom Markey, Tom Mangan, Bill Buchanan, Frank Shore and Ralph MCcEl- venny all have reached the sec- /LOBS»~VOLLEYS; /75%*15//&“”% fiéfi\ , | Latona lost to Garnett in the city | tournament and to Welsh in the Dis- | :lritt. Markey, in addition to being a semi-finalist in the Mid-Atantic, | where he was beaten by Hunt, reached | | the quarters of the city tournament | before he met Welsh. Tom Man-| gan bowed to Mitchell in the city af- fair; Buchanan was knocked off by Lynch in the same event; Shore also bowed to Lynch in the District, while | McElvenny was eliminated by Mitchell |in the District and by Frank Goeltz | of Pennsylvania in the Middle At- lantic. Mitchell’'s absence from the current affair figures to cause little change in his status, the popular ex-Hoya having shown enough already to warrant a high place in the District rank- ings for 1936. ‘The fight, therefore, will be among Markey, Latona, Buchanan and Shore to prove their worth to the upper strata. All undoubtedly will be among the city’s first 10. 'HARLEY CHANNING, who now is enrolled as a freshman at the University of Virginia, made Amer- ican Lawn Tennis in the September § issue. The ex-Central High captain, who has had a good season among the city’s junior players, was the losing finalist in the Northern New England championships played in Maine last month. But he was described as one of the “fine entry of juniors” and lost to Langdon Gilkey of Chicago only after “three thrill- ing sets, 6—3, 3—6, 6—4.” Channing also holds the Middle At- lantic junior doubles championship with David Johnsen. Singularly, Channing's sidekick, Harry March, is continuing to find himself in the greatest rival of his pal’s school. While Channing was at Central, March was at Tech. = Now, with the former at Virginia, March has gone to the University of North Carolina, traditional foe of the Cava- liers.

INCINNATI, September 21. —Something akin to & hero’s welcome awaits the return home Wednesday of Johnny Fischer, the Cincinnati boy who Saturday achieved an ambition of years by winning the United States amateur golf championship. Plans were in the making today H. G. Wells Holds Shaw Responsible For Report of Age for a “ticker-tape” parade and re- ception, & civic dinner, and on Oc- tober 10 a “Fischer day” celebration in which all country clubs of the city are to join. Mayor Russell Wilson, observing that “‘our Pischer has been angling for that crown a long time,” said he was willing “and anxious” to “do whatever we can do for the boy.” “We are supremely gratified at his achievement,” he said. “He has been our hope.” Oscar Frank, president of the ‘Western Hills Country Club, where the new title holder learned his game as a caddy, is chairman of a committee of arrangements.
