Dave Thomson, greenkeeper at the who doubles as the pro-greenkeeper at the Virginia club, sees plenty of grief ahead for the local layouts unless some real Winter weather comes along. of wet fairway Dave gave it as his guess that the grass is growing too fast and that unless the growth is checked by a lengthy freezing spell it will ma- hot June sun. “I don't like it.” says Dave. “Itisn't natural, and the grass roots are stirring around too quickly and too my words, if we don't have a stretch of freezing weather we will find our putting greens will go out fast when hot weather hits 'em.

Sounds like the beginning of a little straight in poker, but it's- really the score made on a tough par 4 hole by a golf foursome at Washington. Frank M Wililams, the eminent yachtsman (he's a member of Eddie Baltz’s merry crew at Corinthian) didn't have any eagle ideas when he half-hit a tee shot at the thirteenth hole at the Virgina club a couple of Frank would have been satis- fied with a par 4, but like Cal- vert Dickey he’s always in there trying. He tried with a full brassie shot and he holed it. The ball slid off the side of a hill smack into Lhe cup for the eagle 3. F COURSE Arthur Dunlop could not tie the eagle, but he did nearly as well. He got a birdie 3 by holing a lengthy putt, and Dave Thomson's par 4 was an also-ran. | Ross Colwell completed the cycle by taking a buzzard 5 on the hole, but Ross claimed he wasn't trying. “Why should I strain myself when my partner grabs an eagle?” laughed Ross. Nor did A. T. Hester have any schemes about eagles when he smacked a second shot into the middle of the fifteenth green at Washington, which is a couple of lengthy wallops, by the way. But he must have been peeved because another member of the foursome got a birdie 4. He canned a 6-foot putt for the eagle 3, which enabled him and Dr. C. E. Buck and Dave Thomson to play a three-hole stretch four strokes under par. Dave | got a bhird on the thirteenth, Buck | birdied the fourteenth and Hester got an eagle on the fifteenth. They came home over that nine in 32 whacks, | which is quite a piece of golf these days of slow fairways and bumpy putting greens. Rudolph (Lefty) Harrell's Pinehurst gang is filled up. For five or six years a group of Washington golfers have been making a Winter golf trip some- where in the South, playing for four or five days around the Washington's birthday holiday. Last year 44 of them went to Augusta, but Harrell, bell- wether of the flock, thought that group was a little unwieldy and by mutual consent it was cut to 20 this year. “We couldn’t get around and play enough with each other with such a big crowd,” says Harrell, “so we cut the group down to 20, or five foursomes.” A few days ago Harrell sent out in- vitations to all former members of the crowd who want to go to Pinehurst over the coming holiday in February and it was quickly filled up wih 20 names. THEY plan to leave Washington the night of February 18, play golf for four days and be back in the Cap- ital on the morning of February 23. Those who have been in the crowd in former years are Frank Addison, Tom Beavers, P. W. Calfee, A. C. Case, Charles T. Claggett, C. G. Craighill, Bill Davis, Arthur Dezendorf, Dale Drain, George Elliott, Ralph Fowler, L. J.

HE impartial paw of influenza has reached out and smacked I two preliminary fighters off the Howard Scott-Eddie Mc- Geever 10-round feature fight card, which has been postponed until to- morrow night in order to insure a sizable crowd for the flood relief fund benefit. Promoter Joe Turner decided the Fred Perry-Ellsworth Vines tennis show tonight at Ritchie Coliseum per- haps was too much competition, so he shoved the card back and now will give 10 per cent of the gate to flood sufferers. Tiger Red Lewis, who was to have met Hobo Williams, Alexandria middle- weight, is reported sick at his Rich- mond home and will be supplanted by Valenti Brown, kinky-haired Balti- morean, in one of two supporting six- rounders. Bellous Subs for Paul. ICKEY PAUL, Brooklyn welter- weight, who was to have battled Johnny Lucas, bald-pated Camden scrapper, also is ill and will be re- placed by Johnny Bellous of Hartford, Conn,, in the eight-round semi-final. The other. six-rounder, involving Young Palmer, Camden welterweight, and Young Raspi of Baltimore, re- mains intact. Scott, whose rapid improvement in recent months has gained him a rank- ing position among the lightweights of the world, is a 2-1 favorite over McGeever, who held Sid Silas to a draw in his only appearance here. An excellent drawing card in Balti- more and Richmond, Scott still is seeking to perform before a sizable crowd here. His recent two-round knockout of Eddie Zivic in Baltimore augurs well for his chances of doing 50 tomorrow night. Sports Mirror By the Associated Press.

ACRAMENTO, Calif., January 25.—Ed Dudley, par-crushing shotmaker of the professional golfing clan, took $750 and Sac- ramento’s open championship with him today to San Francisco for the next tournament of the Winter schedule. Dudley, who divides his time as pro between Augusta, Ga., and Phila- delphia, paced the field in the $3,000 Sacramento event by clipping 15 strokes off par for a four-round total of 273. Golf Finest of Career. FINISHXNG 10 strokes better than his closest rival, Dudley played the finest golf of his pro career, which started in 1918 when he was 14. He had never before done better than 280 in a four-round competitive test. Dudley opened the tournament with a 65 to set a new record for the 6,700-yard municipal links, where par is 72. He then posted 70 and 71 and finished with a great 67, leaving a field of more than 100 far behind. Dudley’s putting was deadly, the ball rolling in at distances ranging from 25 to 40 feet.

THE SPORTLIGHT Furious Sweep of Argentine Poloists One of Superb Sports Treats in 1936. BY GRANTLAND RICE. OS ANGELES, Calif, January 25.—I caught a glimpse of the Argentines at Berlin—the Ar- gentine polo team that rode down the Mexicans and routed the h—and I thought I knew how | \;;or‘d H‘r\ were. But I didn't. I found out when they bobbed up at Meadow Breok to ride against Green- | | tree, winner of the open champion- | ship. | It was a good team that galloped | out for Greer ¢ that gray Sunday | afternoon at Meadow Brook—Pete Bostwick, Tommy Hitchcock, Gerald Bolding and Jock Whitney. The men | | had played together all Summer nnd | they were splendidly mounted. They | might not beat the Argentines. That | glimpse I had had at the Olympics | | had been impressive. But I was sure that the Gauchos wouldn't ride rings around them and steal the ball out | from under their mallets as they had done to the Mexicans and the Eng- lish. There had been something ominous in what Jack Nelson, the non-playing captain of the Argentine team, had said, of course. He said that this was the best team ever to come out of the Argentine and that it had the best mounts ever bred on the Pampas. That, plus the showing the team had made in Europe, should have been sufficient warning of what was to come—but it wasn't. I really ex- pected to see a close game when the teams rode out to meet each other— and s0, I am certain, did most of the thousands who jammed the famous stands of robin's egg blue that stretch along two sides of the picture-book fiald. Up From the Pampas, ’I‘HE Argentines were Luis Duggan and Roberto Cavanagh, of Irish stock that had settled in the Argen- tine a few generations back; Andres Gazzotti, whose ancestors crossed the sea from Italy, and Manuel Andrada, of Spanish-Indian descent. Duggan and Cavanagh were new to the crowd at Meadow Brook. They had come up within the last couple of years to take the places of fading Gaucho stars who had made the crowds roar on Long Island in other years. Duggan was comparatively small, but compactly built. | ASHINGTON bowlers used Baltimore as a happy hunting ground yesterday when individually and col- lectively they came through with fly- ing colors to win two events. Perce Wolfe, Washington's second ranking star and fifth of the country, cleaned up in the third annual Kirk- wood Sweepstakes when he shot a 1,325 for the 10 games to bring home $100 in first-prize money. - The second Capital victory was| scored by the District of Columbia American Legion team, which de- feated the Baltimore Legion in the first block of a home-and-home match by 174 sticks. Wolfe, beating 120 in each of the 10 games for which he averaged 132, had the high score for each set, shooting 634 in the first and 691 in the second. His top game was 149, the last of the day. Astor Clarke won one block prize with a 621 and E. Nash won another when he tied with R. Barnes of Baltimore with a high game of 142, F. Murphy of Washington won the first-block prize in the second set with a 688. District’s 10-man American Legion | team, led by Cap Miller, improved with each of its three games, shooting 1,054, 1,079 and 1,204 in that order. Walker, with 115, 99 and 146 totaled 360—one pin more than Nick Cha- conas and two more than Howard Campbell. Miller of the losers, however, had the highest set, 368. Walker's 146 game also was high, beating Campbell’s best effort by one. r [} Cavanagh had the build of a big league pitcher—wide, slop- ing shoulders, long arms, thick wrists and big hands. Gazzotti and Andrada were familiar figures. Gaunt and wiry, Gazzotti was the “wild man” of a few years back—the man who, in pursuit of the ball, one rode through the ropes at one end of the field and into a scur- rying pack of hostlers, and, on another occasion, all but rode up into the stands. Andrada was the perfect em- bodiment of any one's conception of an Argentine polo ph}er—sv\axthy‘! black haired and powerful, a superb | | horseman, a terrific shot and a tire- less competitor. Greentree Scores First. REENTREE carried the fight to| the invaders. The initial charge | of the Long Island riders hurled the Argentines back and Balding got the ball. He and Bostwick raced down the field with it and, as the Argentines began to close in around Balding, he | slipped it to Pete and Pete back-| handed it through the posts. The Argentines struck back quickly. | A goal by Cavanagh tied the score. Now the teams fought furiously. Stride for stride and shot for shot, Green- tree held its own. On both sides the action was lightning fast and the horse- manship was almost unbeliev~ able. First one side would score and then the other. Hitchcock made some mag- nificent hits from seemingly impos- sible angles. Bostwick, probably the best horseman in North American polo, never was better. Balding was at the top of his form—one of the best polo players in the country. Whit- ney played stoutly on the defense and made some timely shots. At the end of the first half the score was tied at 8-8. game. in the Argentines, but the Greentree players had been even better than any one believed. The Storm Breaks. N!-:vm ‘were hopes for a close game and, possibly, & victory smashed more quickly—or more decisively. The Argentines roared out for the second half and, in one breathless moment, Greentree was reeling toward defeat. Bostwick was outridden. Hitch- | cock was bottled up so that he had difficulty getting to the ball and, when he did couldn't do any- thing with it. Balding was powerless. ‘Whitney more than once seemed in danger of being escorted right up into the stands by the Galloping Gauchos. ‘The score mounted. Seemingly, all the Argentines needed to score a goal was to get the ball at the end of & ‘mallet. ‘Their horses were so far superior to Greentree’s that there were times when the unhappy young men in pink shirts seemed to be standing still—or going backwards. Then rain began to fall out of the gray sky, and the spectators began to walk out. It was 8 thoroughly dismal finish. No such score as 21 to 9 had even been run up before in international polo. The following week the Argentines won again—8 to 4. There had been | some talk of making changes in the Greentree team for this second game— of putting Stewart Iglehart and Win- ston Guest on the team. With charac* teristic sportsmanship, Jock Whitney | declined to do this. He said the agree- ment was that the Argentines would be opposed by the team that won the open championship, and that team was Greentree. The Argentines said nothe ing. It really didn't make any dif- ference to them whom they played. It was & great | Nobody had been disappointed | To Play Checkers For D. C.

Although it's her golf that has brought her the title of Minneapolis® No. 1 good will emissary, Patty is a natural athlete. She’s a good ice skater, finishing runner-up in the na- tional junior championships in Min= neapolis two years ago. She's no minor quantity on the base ball lot either.

She likes to win but seldom sulks or bemoans her hard luck when she loses. Let her father, Herman L.
