A—14 SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1936. Stevinson Capital’s Golf Marvel TOPS COLUMBIA | TTHTIME AT o4 In Only 16 Years of Play Club Champ “Cleans Up” in Tourneys Here. BY W. R. McCALLUM. IXTEEN years of competition and today, at the age of 54, holds the championship of the Columbia Country Club. You could go far down the record list and find few men who took up golf late in their 30s and who have compiled a more consistent winning record than Miller B. Stevinson, who today reigns as champion of Columbia for the seventh time. Ever since “Steve” forsook tennis, back in 1918, for golf, he has been a top figure in the game around Wash- ington. And today, at an age when most men pass up even club tourna- ments, he is the champion of Wash- ington’s second largest golf club. The only Washington man whose record approaches that of Stevinson over the years is Walter R. Tuckerman of Burning Tree, and Walter doesn't play in tournaments any more. Wins All But M. A. Title. ‘WO years after Stevinson first smote a golf bal from the first tee at Columbia he went to the final round in the District championship, in 1920, when Robert L. Pinkenstaedt polished him off. Since that first auspicious tournament start Stevine son has won everything there is to be won around the Capital, barring the Middle Atlantic title. *That's the one championship that hasn’t fallen to the red-hot putter of this amazing veteran of the game, and he once had it in the bag and let it get away from him. He had George Voigt 1 down with 2 to play in the final at the Washington Golf and Country Club in 1926 and George won both holes with par to grab the laurels. Two District titles have fallen to Stevinson, and he has won all the major regular invitation affairs, in- cluding those at Columbia, Chevy Chase, Washington, Manor and Con- gressional. The man is a golfing marvel, when you consider all the angles, and he isn't ready for the wheel chair by a lcng way. Twice Amateur Qualifier. HE HAS played in a flock of ama- teur championships and has qualified in two of them, going to the third round in 1926, where he was bumped off by Fred Wright of Boston. If Miller Stevinson goes to the senior championship at Apawamis next year (and he probably won't) he would come close to being a sen- sation.. There wouldn’t be a senior around who would hit a straighter tee OU won't hear much more of the finer scores down in the low 70s on the local golf courses any more this year. The reason is that the fairways are getting plenty slow, putting greens are getting faster and conditions for scor- ing on thz whole are getting tough. But you also won't hear of many finer rounds shot by an amateur than the par 72 scored at Congressional yesterday by Billy Shea, the lanky Georgetown freshman, who seems ticketed to be one of the hot golfing Bobby Brownell. Congressional plays plenty long these days, but Shea ironed it out with a 39-33, in a match in which he and Frank Goodwin trounced Parker Nolan and Pat Flaherty, ‘That Brightwood ex-caddies tourney, shot or a finer iron shot than the | Originally scheduled for yesterday. will Columbia champion, who has whipped all comers over the past 16 years. And “Steve” will go on and on, ap- parently forever. The years haven't dimmed his scoring capabilities. ALEXANDRIANS DIVIDE Pirates Beat St. Martin's Eleven, Virginias Bow to S.E.

Steele and score. The Southeast score came in the first three minutes of play when Cas- sidy took a pass from Simone and | ran 50 yards to a touchdown. Bond also shared in the limelight for the ‘Washington team. St. Martin’s was defeated by a sec- ond-period touchdown of the Pirates’ manager, Owen Chappelle, who raced 15 yards around end. The winners are defending junior champions of the city. BY PAUL J. MILLER, JR. GAIN Reuben Fine, 1935 cham- pion of the American Chess Federation, comes to the fore, sharing first and second prizes in the special masters’ tourna- ment that marked the annual anni- versary of the Amsterdam, Holland, Chess Club—one of the most select chess divans on the continent—with ‘World Champion Dr. Max Euwe of Amsterdam, each winning five match- es and dropping two in a seven-round fray in which former World Cham- pion Dr. Alexander Alekhine was run- ner-up, scoring 4/2—2%. Fourth, fifth and sixth prizes were shared jointly by J. H. O. von den Bosch and S. Laudau of Amsterdam, and the Viennese, E. Gruenfeld. Hans Kmoch of Vienna ranked seventh in the fleld of eight, with V. Van Schel- tinga of Amsterdam bringing up the Tear, It is of especial interest to chess players in the United States to note that youthful Reuben Fine excelled the current world champion at Zand- voort last July and tied with him and Samuel Reshevsky, champion of the National Chess Federation, U. 8. A., in the Nottingham, England, masters parley of recent date. Undoubtedly, Fine is one of the “in-the-money” grandmasters at chess, and is to be reckoned as a blue ribbon taker in the fastest company Europe and America can produce.

The Burnett man again won the club ¢hampionship yesterday, lick- ing Southpaw Earl McAleer in a hard- fought match, on the thirty-sixth green.

By arrangement with Chess Director Martin C. Stark, contestants may obtain different play- ing dates, but all games must be fin- ished before the scheduled time for the succeeding official round. Clocks are being used, and each player times his own moves, averaging 36 moves for the first two hours and 18 moves for each hour of play there- after per player. A score of each game is filed with the chess director, and the general rules of tournament practice govern routine play. Either player in a match game may obtain an adjournment after completion of the thirty-sixth move, but the adjourned game must be finished prior to the scheduled date for the next round of major turnament encounters.

OCAL professional foot ball fans had just about given up hope for a championship of the Dixie Professional League to- day as they viewed the Washington Pros’ second defeat of the season at Griffith Stadium yesterday, a 7-0 trimming by the Portsmouth Cubs, as just about eliminating the Capital entrant from further consideration. Although the league-leading Rich- mond Arrows were held to a scoreless tie by the Baltimore Orioles, the pace- setters have yet to be defeated, while Washington’s loss was its second in four games. In the third league en- counter of the day Alexandria’s Cel- tics picked up a 7-0 victory over the Norfolk Clancys. Cubs Juggle to Touchdown. A JUGGLING act involving three players culminated in the touch- down which knocked Washington out of the running, the play being started with & 20-yard forward pass by Portsmouth’s Bill Daugherty. It came midway in the second period and was aimed at a teammate in the end zone. Dick Nelson, local halfback, prevented it from reaching its destination by deflecting the oval, only to see it drop into the hands of the visitors’ Hank Barnett. Bar- nett, however, was so surprised at getting his hands on the ball that he muffed it, but before the pigskin hit the ground it was grabbed by Al Casey, who stumbled over the Wash- ington goal. Playing most of the afternoon in their own territory, the locals’ only “threat” came late in the first half, when they advanced to Portsmouth’s 35-yard line. Bill Andorka and Al Farrell prevented further scoring by the visitors in the last quarter, when they broke through to break up an attempted field goal by Nellie Brown. Attendance Here Slim.

It's been three weeks now since they first showed up, and only within the past few days have they shown any sign of ceasing their vicious striking and biting. High southerly winds slowed them down a bit, but by no means did it send them away alto- gether. Only yesterday morning we received a report from a group of local anglers who took a beating on the windy Chesapeake Bay crossing over from Kenwood Beach to south- west of Sharps Island. Ken Blaise, Al Snow, Robert Dixon and S. Barnhouse tried it Friday afterncon without regard to tides or anything else. They were able to get only one bushel of the precious chum, 5o scarce has it become, but they con- trived to capture two blues apiece, weighing from 5 to 11 pounds. Two audience inside—usually are the larg- est of all. - Other Bright Spots. Asmz from Tilghman’s, there are a few other bright spots left for salt-water anglers. The lower Poto- mac and Bay Shore are especially good. Here are condensed reports: Sparrows Point, Md., Capt. Louis F. Markel—Fishing the Western Shore has been good with exception of few days of high wind. Coming week: should bring results. Bay Shore, Md., Capt. Lewin Blackston—Rock trolling very good. Caught 18 up to 8% pounds one day last week, and the next day caught 100. Lower Potomac (Tall Timbers)— Largest rock of the season now here. Weather has been erratic. High winds prevented good fishing. A few mild days and some good catches will be made here. Gloucester Point, Va.,, Capt. T. S Clopton—Now catching large rock and trout, few blues biting; outlook good. ‘Wanchese, N. C. (Oregon Inlet), Capt. Wayland Baum—Expect excel- lent sport trolling * rock from now Susquehanna River at Conowin- g0 Dam, Capt. Paul Sweigart—Report good from this point, rock still biting, pike better, outlook good.
