SPORTS. Maryland State Open Golf Tourney to' Be Staged at Manor Course EVENT 1S SLATED - FOR OCTOBER 14 Affair Is Cut to $300 From $2,500—Ghezzi Present g Holder of Title. BY W. R. McCALLUM. NOCKED down from the $2,500 tournament of last year to a $300 affair, . the Maryland state open golf champion- ship will be played over the Manor Club course at Norbeck, Md., on ‘Wednesday, October 14, for the title now held by Victor Ghezzi, the ghost- - ly-looking Italian-American boy from New Jersey. ‘The tourney, instead of the 72-hole Joust of last year, will be a 36-hole one-day affair. First money will be $150, second money $75, third money 0 and fourth money $25. The top amateur will win a special prize. Last year the Maryland State Golf Association stepped out and with the aid of a whisky concern, staged a $2.- 500 affair at the Rolling Road Club onear Baltimore, which attracted a &tar fleld of contestants. Ghezzi, find- ing the greens to his liking, and stroking the ball immaculately, won the affair from a fleld which included | Gene Kunes, then Canadian open | champ; Jimmy Thomson, Leo Diegel | end a flock of fine golfers. Entry fees will be as follows: Pro- fessionals and assistant professionals, | -$5; amateurs, $3. Entries will be re- | ceived by the State association at 16 McClellan place, Baltimore, up to| noon, on October 12, and post entries may be accepted. George Diffenbaugh, District open | king, will trot his straight-hitting game into the competition, and if | Wiffy Cox and Roland MacKenzie | enter the tourney you'll see some hot golf out there in the woods at Manor, with a score around 140 winning the . tournament. D. C. Women in National. ELEN DETTWEILER, Congres- sional youngster, left Washington = yesterday for Canoe Brook, N. J. + where the women’s national tourney will start next Monday. With Helen went Babe Didrikson, the Texas gal who now is a pro golfer. In all, six ‘Washington women have entered the tournament. In addition to the Dettweiler girl, they are Mrs. Betty P. Meckley, holder of all the impartant sectionel titles hereabouts; Mrs. Landra B. Platt, Elizabeth Houghton, Marion Brown and Mrs. L. G. Pray. The entire field will play an -18:hole medal round Monday to qualify 64 competitors. Match play will open early Tuesday morning. Kiwanis golfers will stage their Fall links tourney at Columbia next Tues- day. The golf affair will be followed by a dinner, Harvey F. Johuson, the lanky Co- lumbis champion, played his home course in 65 whacks the other day. Out in 31, he played the last nine in 34 for the best mark scored by an amatéur over the Columbia course this year. Harvey will defend his club title October 12-17, inclusive, X —_— HORSESHOE CHAMP IN FAREWELL EVENT| Joe Merryman Tourney Tonmight Last for Moore Before Quitting Capital. BILL MOORE, Washington and metropolitan district horseshoe champion, will make his final appear- ance in a ringer-throwing contest hereabout when tonight he engages in | the round-robin play-off of the first annual Joe Merryman Sweepstakes at Brentwood. Moore shortly will return to his home, in Illinois, having been trans- ferred in a Government job. In the qualifying round of the Mer- ryman tournament last night Moore led with a score of 227 for 100 shoes, firing 71 ringers. He was trailed by . Lee Fleshman of Maryland, who had | 2186 points and 60 ringers, and Temple Jarrell, Maryland State champion, who was third with 213 points and 61 ringers. Others who qualified for the play-off and their scores and ringer percent- ages were: P. Battiste, 185-53; Lem Sale, 163-38; M. Rodgers, 152-38; R. * Beall, 140-30, and L. Mills, 121-22. Merryman, former Margland cham- pion, is hopeful of attending the tour- nament in a wheel chair. Both of his legs are in casts. They were broken 'when Merryman was struck by an auto. * ELK BOWLERS START. . Elks Bowling League has started its season with the following officers: Joseph Riani, president; Norman ! Schroth, vice president; Theodore Schaum, secretary-tréasurer, and . George Augusts, official scorer. Ten teams—Antlers, Band, Brotherly Love, Charity, Entertainment, Pidelity, Jus- < Donald Woodward of Co- lumbia are just ordinary golfers now. For five years they held the Cummings trophy, em- blematic of the two-man team cham- pionship of the club, and for five years they watched the other boys struggle and stew to qualify for a crack at the cup holders. But now, shorn of their strangle-hold on the trophy, they will have to qualify this year for a chance to win the cup back again, just like ordinary folks. The qualification round will be played Sunday and Stevinson and ‘Woodward, like good soldiers, will be out there trying to win a spot where S they may play in the challenge round against Albert R. MacKenzie and Luther C. Steward, jr. who -licked ‘em last Spring. Several other good pairs will be trying for the right to challenge MacKenzie and Steward, but what a battle it will be if the former holders of the mug win the qualifying round and challenge the holders! ROGER PEACOCK, former District amateur champion, isn't going to play in the Congressional Country Club champlonship. R&ger decided yester- day not to toss his hat into the ring in the battle for the club crown now held by Parker Nolan. But there is plenty of competition for Nolan. Eighteen-year-old Billy Shea, who won the Middle Atlantic junior crown at .Congressional two ‘weeks ago, shot a subpar 71 yesterday to win the medal and nose out by one shot Billy Dettweiler, his boy friend, and Maj. J. E. McClure, both of whom scored T1s. Pairings were to be made today for the first match play round, scheduled to start about 7 a.m. Satur- day. The tourney will wind up with ILLER B, STEVINSON and THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1936. ! Shea played the nines in 37 and 34, scoring eight pars and a bird over the final stretch.

Meck- ley and Tom Belshe of Indian Spring, Mrs. A. 8. Gardiner and Martin R. West of Columbia and Mrs. W, 8. Mas- ten and J. H. Nicolls of Washington.

Dr. ‘William C. Barr, association secretary, will be the official scorer. TH!: handicap match play tourney at Kenwood for the Post trophy was an open affair today, with Vir- ginia Pope, the medalist and favorite, _sitting on the sidelines following her 2-up licking yesterday at the hands of Gloria Rodgers, stepdaughter of Wifty Cox, the club pro. Miss Pope, conceding Miss Rodgers a single stroke, went to the last hole to lose. Pairings today found Miss Rodgers clashing with Mrs. J. J. McCarthy of Congressional, Mrs. Roland MacKenzie meeting Mrs. Leo Walper, the Kenwood Club champlon; Mrs. C. P. Medley of Manor matching shots with Mrs. W. Thomas of Kenwood and Mrs. Harry A. Knox of Congressional meeting Mrs. A. W. Tucker of Beaver Dam. Pairings for the P. G. A. sectional qualifying rounds next Wednesday at | Richmond probably won't be made | until the night before the 36-hole tourney, according to George Diffen- baugh, Indian Spring pro and vice president of the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. Diffenbaugh expects some 35 pros from this sector to compete for the three places open. The national tournament will be played at Pine- & dinner at the club Sunday night. hurst in mid-November. BY BURTON HAWKINS. LTHOUGH there now is little left to block the ring rise of Joe Louis, the attitude of the majority of his most ardent admirers—his own race—has passed the stage of mere joyous demonstra- |tion and idolatry and threatens to | develop a serious situation. The conduct of Louis, in the ring and away from it, has been & credit to the game and to his race, despite the fact that Max Schmeling claimed Louis intentionally hit him low several times. g Not a single sports scribe saw it that way. It was a befuddled, dazed ‘was forced to shift his attack from the head to the body. W struck low for the first I “hi§ clouting career when he Jacobs Backwaters. E fact that Joe Jacobs, Schmel- ing's manager, has attempted in vain to settle Louis’ $500,000 suit for slander against the German out of court leaves one to believe that Schmeling’s writing, unlike his fight- ing, was not quite accurate. Joe’s mild-mannered conduet, however, unfortunately has net set an example for his race in general. At least one murder, knifings.and numerous brutal assaults followed Schmeling’s shattering of the myth that was Louis. Practically every white man who set foot in Harlem that night to witness the reaction of the colored folk was attacked. Several persons left that sector in a hospital ambulance—their teeth battered from their heads by revenge-seeking, liquor- crazed Negroes. Perhaps that was s natural. re- action.

Perhaps the poor sports were in the minority in that instance. p The Philadelphia demonstra- tion, while not as disastrous, presented a virtual munitions plant that needed only a few off-coler remarks to explode the colored dynamite that lined Broad street for countless blocks. Ya Wants Fight? JT WAS a cheering, jeering mob that ‘mounted lamp posts and | opened doors of automobiles, sticking snee faces the of Mr. Ps, | there was some one in the crowd who | would like' to be clocked as Louis chilled the pride of Philly. ‘That colored crowd was flirting with a dangerous situation. Al Ettore in Philadelphia is somewhat of a hero, with worshipers to be found at his heels constantly. He is a nice fellow, with & beautiful wife and child—a respected citizen. They rubbed salt into an already open wound when they jeered the steady stream of traffic that was vomited into the city from Municipal Stadium. It might have developed into more than just a few scattered street fights. They were looking for trouble, but fortunately found little. It is up to the colored race to display s spirit of sportsmanship somewhat on the order of Louis’. A great fighter might other- wise lose a crack at that which he deserves—a chance to fight for the title. It's happened before.

OOMMATES, and both among the best tennis players of the District, Hugh Lynch and Tom Markey were to meet in the feature of three quarter-final matches of the Playground Depart- ment’s Fall tournament this after- noon on the Potomac Park courts. Lynch, seeded No. 3, was a slight choice to trim his sidekick, who is ranked two below him in the draw. The former Princeton net captain clearly showed his class on Tuesday when he decisively trimmed Ed Ma- ther, one of the city’s best, in straight sets. Markey has not been tested in his first two matches. Latona in Semi-finals. 'HE winner will meet the survivor of the Frank Shofe-Hy Ritzen- berg match, in which the conqueror of Gilbert Hunt will attempt to do to Shore what he did to the tourna- ment’s second seeded entrant. In the lower bracket Barney Welsh should take Spencer Howell without any great trouble and thereby step into the semi-final round against ‘Tony Latona, Latona became the first to reach the next-to-last round yesterday when he defeated Tommy Moorhead in three sets, 6—4¢, 4—6, 6—1. Howell became Welsh's opponent by taking a hard-fought encounter from Bob Bradley, 10—12, 6—1, 6—3, while Markey got the chance to play Lynch by taking Deane Judd in camp, 6—1, 6—2. Doubles Play Under Way. Dousm play began yesterday with the first seeded teams of Welsh and Ralph McElvenny trounc- ing Buddy Adair and Gene Owens, 6—1, 6—3.

ALL-STAR GRIDDERS ADD HUGE LINEMAN wuumamlu COLLEGE ALL- STARS have bolstered their line for the New York Giants' game, scheduled one week from tonight at QGrifith Stadium, by the addition of Lloyd Kennon, behomoth tackle from SPORTS. ‘Kennon played against George Washington last Autumn, although for a time it looked as though he were playing for the Colonials inas- much as he spent the better part of his time in their backfield. He is 6 feet tall, weighs 225 pounds and is fast. He is employed in the Govrn- ment. ‘With Harry Deming, captain and ld: 1 kicking star of last year's George Washington eleven, at the other tackle position, the All-Stars appear to be well fortified in this de- partment. But that goes for almost every position in the line. Sid Kol- ker and Paul Tangora, the latter an Ali-America at Northwestern, will occupy the guard berths, and Red Rathjen, G. W. veteran, will be at center. The team will practice again toe night, reporting at the George Wash | Ington gym at 8 o'clock.
