Spencer and MacKenzie played the entire circuit. Old Stuff for Two. 'O COX and Walper the pro golf tour will be nothing new. Walper twice has played the entire circuit of tournaments, while Cox has made the trip for several years. “I think the Winter tour is the final training around for a golfer,” says Cox. “If he keeps his ears open and watches the stars closely he will gain more in one tour than he could get in years of &mall-town competition.” Walper echoes the same sentiments. His experience over two Winters laid | the groundwork by which Walper has most improved pro in this '—that and the hours he has spent on the practice tee at his Be- thesda driving range. “It's a post-graduate school of golf,” gays Walper. i incidentally a guy who is on his stick can make expenses and a little better.

August 11.—The women’s Western 72-hole | medal play golf derby plcture; looked familiar again today, | with Marion Miley of Cincinnati and | Patty Berg of Minneapolis, battling for the prize. Miss Miley, winner of the 1935 and 1936 tournaments, was in front with a 36-hole score of 154, but red-haired | Patty, runner-up to the former Lex- | ington, Ky., star the last two years, was hot on her trail after an indiffer- ent start. Patty Breaks Course Record. \IISS MILEY added a 78, two under | L par, to a 76 yesterday. Miss Berg. who took 83 strokes on her open- | ing round, came back yesterday with a spectacular 36—38—74, for a new | Onwentsia Club women’s competitive | course record, and second place at 157 | Her 74 displaced Miss Miley's opening 76 as the course mark As the classy field went into the semi-final 18 holes of feminine golf's longest medal play event today, the | list of championship possibilities was pretty well boiled down. In third place, with 80—79—159. was Mrs. Dan| Chandler of Dallas, Tex. Edith Esta- | brook of Dubuque, who started with a fine 77, but slipped to an 83, was fourth with 160, and Beatrice Barrett of Minneapolis was a stroke farther back through a 79 and an 82.

MILLER, Jr. OLAND maintains its lead in the International Chess Feder- ation team Olympic, now in progress at Stockholm, by the small margin of 1!, points, the Amer- ican entry being runner-up. At the close of the twelfth round of team play the United States foursome had met the Polish aggregation and trounced it by the score, 2!2-15, with one game adjourned. For the first time since the 19 teams opened battle for the world title, Po- land’s entry suffered defeat, which is a fair-weather sign for the successful Americans. In the clash of the Netherlands end the United States in the thir- teenth round, young Samuel Reshev- sky, champion of the National Chess Federation, U. S. A, encountered Dr. Max Euwe, champion of the world, and the cagy Reshevsky, playing on the defensive, threw up a bulwark af tactics that indicated an even game as the masters adjourned play. Capt. Frank Marshall, retired Amer- ican titleholder, drew with Scheltinga of the Netherlands, while Horowitz and Kashdan adjourned their games.

American Title Tourney. PROBABLY the most important chess tournament in the United States this year is the Paul Morphy Contennial tournament that opens on Monday, August 23. In all sections, preliminary as well as 1lnal, two games will be scheduled for every other day, and one game on the intervening days. For all matches, a minimum of 40 moves in the first two hours, and 20 moves per hour thereafter will be en- forced. The official chess code of the Inter- national Chess Federation will govern all play. fight writer, happens to toss a strike this one time. 'HE Maryland State Golf Associa- tion is worried about the attend- ance in their little monthly tourna- ments and in their State champion- ship. And well they might be. Last week they held a one-day affair at Woodmont, which drew just one dozen entries. Their champlonship, and a good championship it is, drew just 29 entries in June at the Manor Country Club, which a few weeks be- fore had drawn for its invitation tourney something more than 400 players. So the solons of the State association are to gather today at the Baltimore Country Club to talk over the golf situation within the State and see what can be done about stir- ring up more entries and more in- terest. They are going to have a rough time getting more entries in the af- fairs in which an entry fee is charged. It’s human nature to want something for nothing. If you don't believe that look at the entry list at Chevy Chase— a course which every one wants to play. Years back Chevy Chase drew as many as 350 for their invita- tion tourney. They had to strictly limit the invitations, that is, until they started charg- ing a five-buck entry fee. Then the entries fell off like a market report in November, 1929. They had something like 90 this year. THE men who handle the Mary- land State golf affairs should know that when you stick an entry fee on a golf tournament you lose a lot of men who would play if it was a free affair. But some one must bear the cost of running them, and why not the competitors. Maybe they'd be better off with small fields | and better fields. In any event, they are to have a dinner and gab-fest | tonight at Roland Park to talk it over. = BOBBY CRUICKSHANK, back from a trip to Scotland, will start the defense of his Virginia State open championship next Saturday with hardly more than a practice round or two under his belt. Bobby has been the king of the Virginia pros so long it's become second nature for him to step up to the cashier's window when they pass out the checks to the winners in the State title tourney. But it may be different this year. at Farmington, which happens to be the home course of Errie Ball, the blond English lad who looks like one of the smoothest shot-makers in this sector. Bobby licked him at Pinehurst last year, but he had no easy time of it. None of the Wash- ington pros are eligible for the tourney, although Al Houghton may have some- thing to say about it. ELEN DETTWEILER, District and Maryland champion; Mrs. Ro- land MacKenzie, Mrs. Charlotte Stern and Mrs. Bishop Hill are among the local competitors listed in the Shawnee tournament, which starts next week. Maureen Orcutt of New York will be the top-liner in the tourney. GAIN BOYS’ CLUB TITLE Cardinals Are Victors' in Play-Off in Diamond Loop. Cardinals won the championship in the national division of the Boys'| | Club of Washington Base Ball League, with the Merrick Boys' Club taking second-place money as the result of & play-off with the Y.

AN FRANCISCO, August 11.— Match play was on the program in the national pubiic links tournament today with 64 golf- ers banging along the championship trail. Wind-up of the 36-hole qualify- ing play yesterday saw the tournament team record smashed and the medal score mark tied. Two rounds—18 holes in the morning and 18 holes in the afternoon—are slated today over the Harding course. Tournament officials drew today's pairings from a hat and with it an undertone of criticism for the pro- cedure followed. The result found some of the best shotmakers in the lot as foes in the first round. Erickson Plays Jenssen. AT ABBOTT, defending champion from Pasadena and runner-up medalist yesterday, with a total score of 141, faced Ralph Presby of Sacra- mento, who had 142. Don Erickson of Alhambra, Calif., who shot a spectacular 67—72—139 to tie the meet medal record set in 1922 at Toledo by George Aulbach, drew as his opponent Paul Jenssen of Toledo, who carded 74—73—147. Erickson's medal score was five strokes below par. Another match featured Charles F. Kauffmann of Pittsburgh, Pa., three times winner of the crown, and Alex Muragin of Honolulu. Other interest centered on Claude Rippy, Washing- ton, D. C., 1936 runner-up, and Phil Gordon of Oakland. | Break Washington's Record. | "THE Warren G. Harding team trophy rested with a quartet of Sacra- | mento, Calif,, performers after a rec- | ord-breaking accumulative score of 587. The four—Frankie Toronto, Hall Dufford, Roscoe Guidero and Ralph Presly—captured the title held by Se- attle and broke the Washington team's record score of 599, set at the Farm- ingdale, N. Y., meet. Santa Monica was runner-up with 593. Philadelphia had 601 The qualifying rounds saw most of the expected come through. The 64 limit included scores of 151 and under, and four of an even dozen who carded 152 completed the field in a play-off. The four were Vernon Gilstrap, Ber- keley, Calif.; Henry Suico, Oakland, Calif.; George Sharpe, Columbia, S. C., and Andrew Oliveri, Washington, D. C. Two more 18-hole rounds will be run off tomorrow, with the semi-finals Friday and finals Saturday, both at 36 holes. COFFEY NINE AT TOP Coffey Screen Co. lost no time start- ing on its way to undisputed first place in the Industrial League yesterday, scoring 10 runs in the first inning off Old Milwaukee Beer. It mattered little that they scored only one run there- after for they won going away, 11-4. Hamilton was the only Coffey player to go hitless, Duffey getting three for four to lead the attack. Reggie Brown and Jim Murdock were the victims of that first-inning assault, the former failing to get a man out, yielding seven i hits and three bases on balls to the | 10 men to face him. | WAR RACKETER?A"IEAD | Huls and Allen were the only Gen- eral Accounting Office tennis combina- tion to win in their team's match with War Department yesterday, the latter scoring a 3-1 victory in Depart- mental League play. Each of War Department's victories came only after extended matches, however, the Accountants forcing their conquerors into three sets in each in- stance. Huls and Allen scored in straight sets.

After win- ning two straight at Saratoga he was the runner-up to Sea Biscuit in the Massachusetts Handicap.

The Belair meeting is a thing of the past, but it started something that bids fair tp continue during the hot spell. In all track publicity the town was sent out as two words, the idea being that it was derived from the French, “Good Air.” Historians and leading citizens now say that the air had nothing to do with the naming, that the town was named for Dr. Lewis D. E. Belair, who was of French ex- traction. Scholars say that whether named for man or air, it should be spelled as one word, as, for example, Belle Vue, or “Beautiful View,” is spelled Bellevue. William Woodward's farm and racing stable is known Belair. PORTS lovers hope that some day there will be produced a motion picture that is free from “hokum.” As s rule, the horses run around' the track half a dozen times in the film showing the big race. Whether it is to win the girl or pay the mortgage on the farm, the result is the same. There is pushing, pulling, bumping and crowding, usually climaxei by a spill, things that seldom take place in an actual race. = ‘There are too many ways of losing a race without making it necessary for the jockey to turn the horse’s head sideways in an effort to deliberately “pull” his mount, and as for a jockey shoving another from his horse, it may have happened, but we have never seen or heard of it. The latest screen attempt at race track melodrama also pictures the girl in the case persuading her benefactor to bet on “dead ones,” s0 that the bookmaker may fatten his roll and make her happy ever afterward—which just about constitutes a record for something or other.
