L/IARION MILEY, daughter of Fred Miley, a Kentucky professional, is being touted as the girl to whip in | this year's title tourney. Marion is no sissy golfer. She showed the way to a good field in the Onwentsia Derby a few days ago and is playing just now the finest golf of any woman in America. Her main competition probably will come from Dorothy Kirby, protege of Ma Keeler, wife of ©O. B. Keeler of Atlanta. The Keelers aren't happy unless they have some one to lead around through the championships by the nose. O. B. himself had a prize heifer named Bobby Jones a few years back. He managed to steer Bob to 13 cham- pionships in 8 years, while lying under an apple tree, and now his spouse has the Kirby girl all geared up to go places in women's golf. Oscar Keeler used to get tired of seeing Bob licked, 80 he took to sitting through his matches under an apple tree. Bob's | winning streak coincided with Keeler's | decision to watch from the apple-tree bleachers. No Respecters of Persons. JDON'T let any one rise up and tell ! you that these gal golfers are respecters of persons. They aren't, if you can judge by the way they | address each other. No first names are used. They call each other by their family names. It's “Dettweiler” instead of Helen, and “Berg” instead of Patty, and “Miley” in place of Marion, and “Vare” instead of Glenna. Washington women never have done anything much in the national cham- pionship, and they likely are to do just about as much in the title chase this year. But Helen Dettweiler, the budding young radio commentator, is 8 better golfer than she's ever been, with more confidence than ever. She may knock over a couple of the “name” players before she gets bumped off. Nor are the top notchers in wom- en's golf any powder-puff strokers. Miley, the gal who couldn’t make the Curtis Cup team here three years ago, whacked the ball around the par 72 Losantiville course at Cincinnati in 70 & few days ago. A little earlier she did a 69 at the Linville layout in the A Me: | Harvey SPORTS. ¢ SHOREHAN SWIM TEAM TURNS TIDE Gets Revenge on Y. M. C. A. in Easily Capturing D. C. A. A. U. Honors. CRACK Shoreham swimming team turned the tide in one of this city's hottest athletic rivalries at the Takoma pool last night when they soundly trounced the Y. M. C. A. tankmen, 50-30, to win the District A" A. U. championship. Max Rote, former District free-style champion, staging a comeback, re- gained the 100 and 200 yard free-style titles that he relinquished over two years ago when he retired. Another who played a big part in handling the Y-men their first defeat in three years was young Bill Tar- bett, former Central springboard ace, who eked out a close decision over | John Marshall, the water-minded cop, and Buddy Hodgson, holder of several District titles. Although the “Y” easily captured the coveted men's medley relay crown | it had little effect upon the final scor- ing. Ann Bono Is Leader. FIGHTING desperately throughout the meet to capture women's high- point honors, Ann Bono, tiny Shore- ham swimmer, had to stage a miracu- lous sprint in the last leg of the 150- yard medley and nose out Mar- garet Hoffman, former United States Olympic star, to boost her winning total to 16 points and defeat her closest rival, Anne Arnson, of the Am- bassador. June Booth, Shoreham’s backstroke artist, figured in the biggest upset on the card when Betty Strohecker, a | teammate, swam the women's 100-yard backstroke in 1 minute and 27 seconds to establish a new District A. A. U. record and hand June the first defeat | she has suffered locally- ‘Walter Johnson, who was one of the 2,500 or more spectators, presented the trophies. Summaries.

NOT many of the golfers at Chevy Chase know it, but they are har- boring a potential middleweight scrap- ping champion in the caddie pen. A husky sepia-colored caddie who goes by the name of “Zu-Zu" is better known to Joe Turner's emporium of swat as “Battling Zu-Zu,” a colored boy who performs every once in a while at Griffith Stadium. Zu-Zu learned the boxing game in the rough and tumble of the battle royal years ago, and today he rates as one of the better middleweights among the colored lads around the Capital. His real name is Alexander ‘Washington. “How did he get that name of Zu-Zu?” we asked. Prom deep back in'the dark recesses of the caddie house came a rumbling Benegambian voice, “We-all had to go through two circuses to find any one like him. That's how come he is Zu- v ‘The boy knows golf shots, too.

Helen Dettweiler, District champion, from Congressional, scored 83 in the medal round yesterday, five shots higher than the medal-winning 78 posted by Mrs. Wright D. Goss of Baltusrol. Helen played the nines in 43 and 40. Mrs. Bishop Hill of Chevy Chase had 84, and Marion Brown of Manor scored 90. Mrs. Roland MacKenzie of Con- gressional and Mrs. L. B. Platt of Chevy Chase were in the second flight with 96s. Golf is getting them all. Roland MacKenzie's latest pupil is Audréy Seiber, the winsome mistress of cere- monies at the Earle Theater. Audrey works out nearly every day at Con- gressional under the watchful eye of the club pro.

By the Associated Press. ARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, August 17.—Ringers, so-calle “last vice of the American turf," came under the scrutiny of the National Association of State Racing Commissioners today. Edwin J. Brown of Seattle, Wash,, association president, in an address prepared for the opening session of the organization’s three-day Summer meeting, urged adoption of a rule re- quiring owners to present the regis- tration papers of all their horses to the racing secretary at each meeting. “In this way,” Brown said, “we rac- ing commissioners can cope success- fully with the practice of running horses under names other than their own, the last vice of the American turf.” War on Narcotics Won. ROWN pointed to the four-year-old association’s war on the doping of horses and declared that the use of narcotics to stimulate the runners “practically had been eliminated.” “Though we have had a few cases of the use of strychnine in the last three years there hasn't been a single case where heroin, formerly the most com- mon opiate, has been used,” he told the commissioners. ‘““We have been successful in erasing this vice from the turf and now we must concentrate on stopping the practice of ringing horses win a bet.” Brown'’s proposal was to go to the association’s Rules Committee for dis- cussion and a report. It is scheduled to be voted upon on the convention floor Wednesday. Would Erase Green Riding. ’I‘HE association president also pro- posed a rule requiring jockeys to serve as exercise boys, “under contract to a reputable stable,” for one year before being allowed to ride in a race. “This rule,” he declared, “would do much to erase green riding from the sport.” " If adopted by the association, the proposals would be submitted to the 22 State racing commissions which make up its membership. The asso- ciation itself has no power to regulate racing on a national scale, but is de- signed to secure uniform racing rules in each State. During its session here, the associa- tion will hear addresses by nationally- known turfmen and recommendations from the American Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association, the American Trainers’ Association, the Thorough- bred Horse Owners and Trainers’ Asso- ciation and the Thoroughbred Club of America.

ARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Au- gust 17.—One of the Nation's leading trainers predicted a shortage of American jockeys, if steps were not taken to alter the ap- prentice weight rules. Preston M. Burch, president of the American Trainers’ Association, asked the National Association of State Rac- ing Commissioners yesterday to in- crease apprentice weight allowances on all tracks. “In this way,” Burch said. “we can hope to cope with the ever-increasing problem of the lack of truly great riders on American race tracks. “For several years now there hasn't been a team comparable to Sande and Fator. And, if we trainers aren't given | the help we ask we will be unable to | train new ones who will some day be | equally as great.” Don't Last Long Now. EARLE SANDE and Laverne Fator were two of the Nation's top riders | for several years. Burch pointed to| their long records and asserted that | “a jockey’s lifetime on the turf today | doesn't average three or four years.” Burch asked that apprentice boys be allowed 10 pounds in weight for his first 10 winners, 8 pounds for the next five, 5 pounds for the next five and 2 pounds for the balance of his riding year since winning his first race. These changes increase the number of winners allowed before a jockey is forced to ride with additional weight. “Such a plan,” Burch explained, would give the boys a greater confl- dence in themselves and would make them of some use to their trainers after their apprentice time is served.” The association, representing 22 States where racing is legalized, sched- uled a discussion of apprentices, full- fledged jockeys and jockey insurance for today’s session. SOUTHPAW TOURNEY IS A FREE-FOR-ALL Creel, 1936 Champ, Is Kept Out by Injury—Antonio, School- boy, Medalist With 149, By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, August 17.—The second annual national amateur cham- pionship of the Left-handed Golfers’ Association shaped up today as a “wide-open” battle, with 32 shot- makers heading out over Olympia Field's two courses for scheduled 36- hole duels. The 1936 titleholder, Howard Creel of Pueblo, Colo, was unable to de- fend his title because of injuries suf- fered in an automobile accident, and there was no outstanding candidate for the crown. Medalist honors yesterday, how- ever, went to Alecander Antonio, high- school student of Linden, N. J, who soored rounds of 72, 77 for a 149 total, 3 better than the runner-up, Sam Arnold of Kirksville, Mo., who had rounds of 76, 76.
