Va, July 31.-—All marks for Middle Atlantic PI'n{P.R‘mnA]; Golfers’ Association cham- | pilonship are going to be busted wide | open over the 72-hole tournament | which ooened on the Chamberlin Country Club course today. That is, if comparative distances and short- ness of holes mean anything, and they usually do. Buch sharpshooters as Wiffy Cox, land MacKenzie, Leo Walper and rge Diffenbaugh, to mention a few from Washington, aren't going to be balked by a 6,200-yard golf course. That’s what this course measures, and 1t plays even shorter. There are half a dozen holes where a guy who can wal- lop & golf ball does far better by play- 1ng his tee shot with an iron and then takes an iron for his second. If there's one reason the boys won't score 66 or better it's the Bermuda grass greens, which are new stuff to most of them, | Figures 280 Would Win. "AT A guess it looks as if something around 280 for the four rounds will win the title which now graces the Wrow of Charlie Betschler, the rotund Pro from Baltimore. The long hitters like Walper, Diffenbaugh, Cox and MacKenzie are in their glory here, for lengthy tee shots pay cash dividends in this thousand-buck affair, where first money will be $300 . There’s a little gambling being done, Q0. On his reputation and before he | hit a shot toward the 200-vard first | hole & local bookmaker has installed Wiffy & 5-to-2 shot to win the tourna- ment, even moner to place second and 2 to B to run third.

But all these odds are | screwy. Wiffy is quoted too low and | Roland MacKenzie is too high. Either ope may win the tournament on a course where s0 many things can | happen. a = .Bdlchler Loses Clubs. | TYIS first round over the funny looking lavout netted Cox a 74, in the amateur-pro tourney, which | raised the curtain on the tournament. | ‘Walper shot a 73, but you can lay to | it that Wiffy will improve. Leo paired with Dick Ammons, a local amateur, to win the tourney. with a better ball of 67. But ominous rumblings came @om the neighborhood of Charlottes- ville, Va. Errie Ball, the Charlottes- | ville pro, scored a 3 under par 69. Four like that would win the tourna- ment by about four shots. Charlie Betschler, the defending ehamp, showed up today somewhat the worse for his ducking in the water of Chesapeake Bay and far from a| favorite to win. Charlie was one of | those rescued from the bav steamer | which burned Thursday night. He st & complete new set of clubs and | arted today with a brand-new outfit, ninus the putter with which he has done so well over the years.

L. | CHICAGO, July 31 ) —William rridge, president of the American League, estimated todav that attend- ance in the junior circuit is running B00.000 ahead of 1936, with an even greater increase expected for the re- mainder of the season | loit, GPORT ARATOGA, which first opened its gates in 1864, and again last Monday for the umpty-umpth time, is said to have more horses assembled and ready to race than ever SCOPE BY WALLACE DUKE before—and that means a lot of horses. | Every stall on the main track, Horse Heaven, was taken weeks in advance. The training track, Okla- homa, has not a vacant barn and the private stables of Bradley, Whit- ney, Vanderbilt and others are filled. All the barns and livery stables within & radius of 10 miles have been rented for the season. Thirty-seven stakes were scheduled to be run during Sar- atoga's current 30-day meeting. ‘The Hopeful, to be run closing day, August 28, has the most added money, $40,000. It is for 2-year-olds, and as & rule the winner goes to the post favorite for the rich futurity, which is run at Belmont Park a few weeks later. URING the next four weeks at Saratoga, it is said that more than 600 yearlings will hear the auc- tioneer shout “sold.” The Fasig- Tipton annual vearling sales always is a highlight of the Saratoga meet- ing. It is one big lottery. Some vearlings are bought for thousands of dollars and never win a race. There are, too, big bargains each season. Roman Soldier left the Saratoga sales ring with a “no bid—no sale,” tag on his halter. Later he was sold for $100, only to win the Florida Derby and the Detroit Derby and then %o to the top in the Handicap division. Goldey F.'s history is well known. Traditional Stakes, Year- ling Sales Make Sara- toga Turf Haven. Sold at auction for $150, the little miss won $18,000 before an untimely | death. Man o' War was sold for 85,000 as a yearling and no one thought | enough of him to make an entry for | the Kentucky Derby. “Big Red” won every big stake for which he was entered and retired with $249,465 m‘ his credit. Most of the big stake | winners have been sold as yearlings | in the sales ring at Saratoga. | It was as a 2-year-old that Man o' | War met his only defeat. “Big Red" | was turned sideways when the barrier was sprung and trailed his fleld by | 100 yards for the first quarter of a mile, then closed like a cyclone and was | beaten an eyelash by Upset. Man o' ‘War later set five world records. I\ RACE track in the country can | boast the tradition that is at-| tached to Saratoga and its stakes. The | Travers Stake. for instance, antedates | the Kentucky Derby by 12 years. It | first was run in 1864 and was won by | Kentucky . Roamer, Sun Briar and Man o' War were Travers winners. One of the greatest upsets in turf [ history occurred when Jim Dandy, at | | odds of 100 to 1, splashed home in & | sea of mud to win the Travers from | Gallant Fox, which had been consid- ered a near certainty. | The Saratoga Cup is the oldest| stake feature of its kind in the United j States. It first was run in 1865. Many equine greats have won the cup. Among them Exterminator, Gallant | Fox, Twenty Grand and Equipoise, | but the record of Exterminator, called | “Slim” and “Old Bones" by turf fans, | probably never will be equaled Exterminator won the Sara- toga Cup four successive years, and once it was a “walk-over.” When the scratches were in it was found that “Slim" was all alone, s | he was galloped around the track that | he might be declared the winner.

By the Assoclated Press. EA BRIGHT, N. J, July 31.— Wilmer Allison's path to the Sea Bright bowl was blocked today by 19-year-old Bobby Riggs, the level-headed Los Angeles youngster who faced the 33-year-old veteran in the final round of the Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club's fiftieth an- nual invitation tennis tournament. The rising coast star and the for- mer national singles champion were scheduled to meet in a “best of five” encounter, and the sorely crippled Allison was favored to win—if he could fashion & victory in three straight sets. There was a possibility Allison would default because of his injuries. Members of the Tournament Commit- tee announced that should the Texan fail to play. Riggs would meet Shields in an exhibition match, Alice Marble in Comeback. JHETHER the finalists played, the gallery cherished the memories of yesterday's thrilling final round in the women's singles—a dramatic struggle in which blond Alice Marble of Los Angeles toppled her European nemesis, husky Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, the Polish net queen. Before her return to the United States Miss Marble had dropped three decisions to the champion of Poland, but the American girl came back from the brink of defeat to triumph yesterday, 6—3, 5—7, 8—8. In the deciding set, which went 14 games, Miss Marble rallied to shatter the hopes of her rival from across the sea, her passing shots driving Miss Jedrzejowska away from her lone match point in the ninth game, Other Finals Today.

Tex., July 31.—On¥ the Yankees' “Sunday” knockout punches will eliminate any of the frolicking South American youngsters in the pan-American games’ interna- tional amateur boxing tourney here August 12, 13 and 14 So warned Alberto Festal, president of the Argentine delegation, veteran referee and former South American middleweight champion, as he watched his fighters puff in the 100-degree Texas heat today. Five of the squad from Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil competed in the 1936 Olympic games at Berlin. Festal said he believed he had the finest squad available from Argentina's fight-mad nation. More than 100,000 fans watched the amateurs battle for the right to make the United States trip. ‘ L3 Sea Bright Net Trophy to American Maid | Alice Marble (right) ARRON TITLE G0 HERE NOW LIKELY Terms to Meet Winner of Archibald-Gevinson Bout Held Acceptable.

Ahearn is prepared to boost his original percentage offer, but intends to stick by his flat guarantee of $6,500 despite Erwin's demand for $10.000 and a privilege of 25 per cent of the net receipts. Promoter Joe Turner and Ahearn, who snubbed Erwin’s offer of a non- title bout, will await developments of Monday’s fight before resuming nego- tiations for the bout, the tentative date for which has been set as Sep- tember 27. Sarron, who won his title here from . Freddie Miller in May of last year, | meets Miller tonight in South Africa | and then expects to journey to Scot- | 1and for one or two fights before leav- ing for the United States late in Au- gust. Petey has been offered $20,000 to de- fend his crown against Henry Arm- strong on the Pacific Coast, but Erwin doubtless feels, and who doesn’t, that Sarron would be taking less risk of |losing his title against either Gevin- son or Archibald. ;COLUMBUS HITTERS DUEL FOR A.

WICE in the past two years the scoring record for the national golf championship has been cracked to bits. A record of 286 set by Chick Evans at Minne. apolis in 1916 and tied by Gene Sara- zen in 1932 was first beaten by Tony Manero at Baltusrol last year with 282 and then Tony's mark was busted by Ralph Guldahl in the '37 chame plonship at Oakland Hills, Detroit. Guidahl holds the present mark with 281 for 72 holes of championship play. But it won't be long before this mark is erased from the record books, along with others, and it won't be so many months before some gent with a red-hot putter goes hog-wild and raps out a score below 60 in a na- tional championship, Wifty Cox, the big Kenwood pro, firmly believes that 60 will be busted in the national championship and it won't be a 10-year wait either, Bound to Master Title Complex. “WWHY, look at the way these boys are scoring in the smaller tournaments, and over pretty good golf courses, t00,” chirps Wiff. “I admit that the national championship is different; that the course is a little tougher, and that championship golt is—well, championship golf. But the boys got over their Jones complex and they are going to get over the championship complex, too. “Mark my word. Some day some gent is going to get that putting click- ing and hell take any golf course apart for a 58 or so. “The mechanical equipment of this game i better than its ever been, and the boys aren't missing shots any more. It isn't unusual for & guy to hit 18 greens in perfect figures.

Three Hit 66 Rounds. ET'S see how that stacks up. The present record score in the open championship is 66. Gene Sarasen did it at Fresh Meadow in 1932. Walter Hagen did it at North Shore in '33, and Tom Creavy did it st Merion in '34. Now these are all rugged golf courses. They had to be to be picked for the open championship. But in each of those rounds Sarssen, Hagen and Creavy made s few mistakes. Any of these rounds might concetvably have been 60 or better. The lowest championship round on record is a 61, shot by Aubrey Boomer at 8t. Cloud, Prance, in 1930. But that course, good as it is, hardly meas- ures up to American standards.
