SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, THURSDAY, - APRIL 18, 1940. BPORTS. Vanguard of Washington Bowlers Shoots Tonight in U. S. Event at New Haven The SPORTLIGHT A. L. Pilots Are Sufe From Critics’ Howls By GRANTLAND RICE, Special Correspondent of The Btar. NEW YORK, April 18 (NAN.A) — Sixteen major league managers, having hammered their teams into shape in the South, have moved off to a new start. On some of them the demands of the fans will be heavy. On others, there will be no demands at all. The latter are fortunate in one sense. Their teams admittedly have no chance to win and they can spend the summer picking over their material, making changes as they go along, building for the future and just doing the best they can to win a few ball games here and there. No American League manager is on the spot. Joe McCarthy comes closest. Fans elsewhere on the cir- cuit are pulling for his defeat be- cause they have become weary of the dominance of the Yankees, but in New York they are expecting him to do what no manager ever has done before: Win five pennants and five World Series in a row. Incidentally, one of the strangest quirks in the situation concerning the Yankees is this: No team ever has won five times in a row—yet if the Yankees fail to do it, it will be an upset. McCarthy Has All to Gain And Nothing to Lose McCarthy’s status cannot be affected adversely by failure to win this year, although his prestige will be enhanced by victory. In other words, he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Yet his own fierce pride and his insatiable thirst for victory will drive him on. Nobody ever hated to lose any more than he does. If he goes down it will be only after a terrific struggle. There is no pressure on the other American League pilots—or very little. been conceded to the Yanks, Joe Victory practically having | 20 Years Ago In The Star George Erickson lost a 14-izning pitching ‘duel to Jones and Bush as the Nats bowed to Boston, 2 to 1.

BOSTON, April 18—If marathon running was not the most formal of sports competitions—try to recall when it has provided a real upset— one would regard such illustrious “grinders” as Leslie Pawson and El- lison (Tarzan) Brown, both of Rhode Island, as being overcocky. But the history of the 43 previous Boston A. A. marathons indicates that they are speaking sagely when they predict that if one of them doesn’t win tomorrow’s 26-mile, 385- yard Hopkinton-Boston race, Don Heinicke of Baltimore will, Both Pawson and Brown are two- time winners of this tortuous event and the lajter set the course record of 2.28:514; last year when Heinicke finished second, about 2!, minutes later, Heinicke's most recent marathon triumph was in the Baltimore Pat Dencis Memorial event. Although there are 190 more en- tries, including three other former winners, most of the experts agree with the Rhode Island stars. They do not expect that 52-year-old Clar- ence De Mar, a seven-time winner; the equally old Bill Kennedy of East Portchester, N.

There two managers are on the spot, and four others are not! Favori'e in Years far from it. | The two who definitely have been | spotted are Bill McKechnie and Ray Blades. McKechnie having won the pennant last year—giving Cincin- nati its first flag in 20 years—saw his team beaten and humiliated in the World Series. His task this spring was to bring the Reds back from that defeat by the Yankees and restore the spirit they had al the start of the campaign last year. The fans in Cincinnati ex- pect him to win again. So do many of the experts all over both leagues. He won under pressure last year and the pressure is even heavigr‘ as he goes about trying to win| again. Blades has been disturbed visibly by the weight of sentiment in favor | of the Cardinals this spring. | “How can anybody tell what's go- ing to happen in a pennant race even before it starts?” he asked me at St. Petersburg. “Why do they| pick us to win?” The answer is simple. The Car- dinals, in a run down the stretch last September, almost caught the Reds. They have more power than any other club in the National League, and Blades, starting his second year. has a firmer grip on them than he had at this time| last year. | Blades has made no pennant claims and will make none. Against his wishes, a majority of the experts are | picking him to win. He either is favored in the betting or is an even | choice with McKechnie. With that | set-up he naturally is fearful of what will happen if he doesn’t win. He knows he is on the spot and he doesn’t like it. Brooklyn Fans Expecting High Place in Race Leo Durocher, turning in a fine Job last year, finished third with the Dodgers. Most of Brooklyn fans expect him to finish one, tyo or three this year. He really doesn’t figure to win but he may finish second or third, yet one or two bad breaks against him can drive him back, @en into the second division. If that should happen, Leo’s hard- ‘won prestige may be impaired. Bill Terry, finishing in the second division last vear, must wind up fourth or better this year or the murmur of discontent on the part of Giant fans will reach a swelling chorus. Gabby Hartnett was on the griddle in Chicago last year as the Cubs, pennant winners in 1938, failed to make a race of it and landed in fourth place. Unless he makes a better showing this year, Chicago fans may be yelling for new players —Or a new manager. Frank Frisch, taking over com- mand of the Pirates from Pie Tray- nor. is expected to fire the team with his own great competitive spirit. Pittsburgh fans are not count- ing on him for a pennant this year but they are looking to him for the start of a drive that will yleld a pennant in another year or so. As for Casey Stengel in Boston and Doc Prothro in Philadelphia, it looks to be a quiet if not very happy season. The Bees are bad and the Phils are worse and no miracles are demanded of either Casey or Doc Star Softies in Tune-up ‘eather permitting, The Evening Star Club softball ten will be seek- ing its third win in four starts this afternoon, facing the, Capitol Towel Service Co. on Monument lot No. 10 at 5:30 pm. in another tune-up game for the Sports Center League inaugural against the Tru-Blu at Edgewood on Sunday. 14 . For U. S. Open He Also Seems Certain To Be Flashiest in Dress at Cleveland It's been many years since any golfer has been such a favorite among experts and the man-in-the- street to win a major championship as Jimmy Demaret, the multi-hued the open championship starts at Cleveland. Jimmy, by the way, is one of the fortunates who will not have to qualify sectionally. He finished in pionship at Philadelphia. Likes Colorful Clothes. But there’s one thing sure about that Cleveland show. If Jimmy does not win, he'll still be the gaudi- est dressed of the contenders. Jimmy goes in for colors and stripes. One day he’ll appear in strawberry jeans and a yellow shirt. Next day hell reverse it. In a group of good dress- ers—and the golf pros are about the gaudiest—Jimmy is a standout. So is his game. All the bulky Houston 29-year-old has done over the last four months is win six big tournaments from the best opposition in the world. He has averaged only a little more than 71 in five medal-play tournaments and only went over even fours in the Texas open, played in wintry weather. He also won it—in a play- off with Tony Penna. Leads for Vardon Award. Dangling at the end of the rain- bow for Houston's outstanding sports character is another thousand bucks to add to his already bulky winnings. It's the grand that goes to the win- ner of the Vardon Trophy, based on a point system for play in many tournaments recognized by the Pro- fessional Golfers’ Association. Demaret now leads with 267 points. A victory in the open or in the P. G. A. title tourney would put him far in the van, although he still is well short of the 573-point total by which Byron Nelson—wonder man of 1939—won last year’s award. Demaret succeeded Nelson as Western open champ. He won— among others—the important San Francisco match-play and Augusta opens All he needs to crown him as America’s standout pro golfer is the National Open.

Chevy Chase ‘Entry Fee' Meet To Attract Usual Big Field; Women List Two Tourneys By WALTER McCALLUM. The Chevy Chase Club, a pioneer | in a more or less unwelcome field around Washington, again will hold its invitation golf tournament— scheduled for May 15, 16 and 17—as an entry fee event for non-members | of the club. “Unwelcome” may be | termed a misnomer, but it is none the less true, for before Chevy Chase started the practice of charging an entry fee only one club had held an invitation tourney on that basis, and it was not repeated. But Chevy | Chase, for the past six years, had run off its invitation affair as an| entry fee tourney, and its popu- larity has not dimmed. | The story goes back to the lush | days of the more or less roaring | 20s, when golf clubs had a lot of | money, mortgages were. practically | nonexistent, and the main job of golf committees was to provide en- tertainment. In those days, tourna- ments were held at most of the country clubs around town and followed only one pattern; that nearly everything was free to guests. Came the depression. Also came financial trouble for many golf clubs. Washington was lucky in that none of them “folded” up and quit, as many country clubs did in other cities. Chevy Chase never was in danger, for it happens to be a club of unusual financial stability. But Chevy Chase, viewing the situa- tion, determined for several reasons to charge an entry fee. One of these reasons was the fact that invitations for its tournament were | fields were too bulky. So Chevy | Chase started charging non-mem- bers an entry fee, and it has re- mained. Should Charge Entry Fees. Back of it all is the fact that| Washington golfers were not brought up on the entry fee idea, when they should have been. It was the only city in the country where entry fees for invitation golf events were not standard. Fees as high as $10 are usual in many tournaments. This year’s event, open to mem- bers of the Chevy Chase Club and | to members of other clubs affiliated with- the United States Golf As- | sociation who have handicaps of 14 strokes or less, is the only in- dividual invitation affair slated But it will draw the usual large field. Entries will close with the club Golf Committee Friday, May 10, and the usual invitation tourney schedule will be followed, with an 18-hole medal round May 15, fol- lowed by four rounds of match play May 16 and 17. Five other men’s events and two for women also were announced by the club Golf Committee, com- posed of Chairman Robert Stead, Jr., Frank P. Reeside, jr.,, C. Ash- mead Fuller and Franklin L. Fisher. These are the French High Commis- sion Cup tourney, at handicap match play between April 29 and May 11; the Treasurer’s Cup, a four- ball handicap match play event, between May 20 and June 1; the Victor Kauffmann Memorial Day trophy tourney, on May 30; the Horstmann Memorial Cup affair, ‘Wednesday. for the club championship, at 72 Golf Ball Imbedded in Lipof Cup Ruled by U.S.G. Is a golf ball which carries into the edge of the cup and sticks there, considered to be holed out? This poser, to which the attention of the United States Golf Associa- tion was directed after a match at Baltimore Coun- try . Club, re- sulted in a de-- cision by the N N der the winter rules in use. It happened to the second shot of Edgar M. Lucas, tournament chairman of the Mary- land State Golf Association,'on the thirteenth hole of the Roland Park course of BAltimore Country Club. Edgar is a golfer well known in this sector and was playing with John J. Hoffman, J. Marsh Matthews, Harold Tschudi and Warren K. Ma- A. to Be Holed without previously striking the ground. Under the winter rules in force, Lucas claimed that as more than half the ball was in the cup, he could not tee it as close as possible to the spot where it came to rest without having the ball fall into the cup. The U. 8. G. A. upheld his opinion that the ball was holed. “As to whether the ball should be considered holed under the basic rules of golf; we would say that as by far the greater portion of the ball was belpw the surface of the green and within: the area of the hole, equity would determine that the ball was holed. The fact that the flagstick was removed has no bearing,” said the rfiling. E.

Tonight the suburban crew com- posed of Kidwell, Billy Stalcup, Francis Robertson, Joe Briles and Paul James will strive to give the Capital in a flying start in its bid for the national honors. Stalcup, who finished second in the United States all-events here last year and paired with Brad Mandley to cop fourth place in the doubles, was given a setback last night when his illus- trious partner failed to show up for the trip. However, it will require more than this to dim the hopes of the young star, who expected to pair with Robertson, a speedballer, who at times can mow the maples with the best of them. The Shaffer No. 1 team is loaded with stars. Ollie Pacini, Red King, Red Megaw, Ernie Hauser and Frank (Bub) Guethler may be the Washington combination to send into the discards the record of 2,057 in the current tournament. The No. 1 G. P. O. outfit with Sam Simon, Monk Walker, Lee Brown, Jerry Cowden and Charley Barnard also the top score. Washington’s main squad of bowl- ers is scheduled to roll next Sat- urday.

Mounts Ruling Stick Realm After Rout 0f Hopkins, 7-1 BALTIMORE, Md., April Mount Washington Club’s lacrosse team today was being hailed as tops | ’,.? T A in the stick realm after beating Johns ol Hopkins last night, 7 to 1, in a grueling battle in which age and experience proved too great ~for youth. The Mounts already had triumphs over Maryland, Army and | Princeton. The clubmen appeared more at home in a game played in a drizzle and on a slippery field, and showed more speed and aggressiveness to gain a quick lead and add to it in every period. The Mounts led, 4 to 0, at the half, Hopkins getting its lone counter early in the third period. Mount Washington won mainly on its greater speed in getting the ball from the defense to the attack, Hopkins’ slowness in this respect when they had the jump on their rivals costing them a number of open shots. It was a much closer game than the score indicates. Tommy Dukehart let the winner’s attack with three goals through his uncanny ability to turn a loose ball into markers.

HOUSTON, Tex., April 18.—Bobby Riggs has_a chance today to even an old score—a defeat in the West- ern ‘indoor tennis championships at the hands of a gangling boy from Portland, Oreg. Rigegs, the national champion, met the Portland youth—Tom Kelly—in quarter finals of the River Oaks in- vitation tournament. Kelly trimmed Riggs in the Western two weeks ago at Chicago and went on to win the title. The theory and play of indoor and outdoor tennis, however, are con- siderably different, and Riggs was an overwhelming favorite, Kelly swept past Owen Anderson of Houston, a player formerly ranked nationally, 6—4, 6—2, while Riggs | had to trot a little faster than | usual to oust Lefty Brown of Waco, 10—8, 8—6. Frank Guernsey, the defending champion, met Wilmer Allison, for- mer national crown holder, in a match bristling with interest. The little Rice player, national intercollegiate ruler, possibly was the most impressive player in yes- terday’s competition, trimming Charles Hare, England’s No. 2 man, 6—2, 7—5. Allison bounced Jack Tidball of Los Angeles, 6—4, 6—1. Elwood Cooke, seeded No. 2, met the surprise of the tournament, young Bill Umstaedter of Louisi- ana State. Umstaedter eliminated Charles Harris of West Palm Beach, Fla., international competitor, 4—86, 6—1, 6—2. | Pugh, with respective counts of 141 land 139, featured a score of 664 against 637. Pinky Bradt's 391 was high for Georgetown. Clarke, in his only real slump of the season, shrunk his average to 130-2 for 72 games. The slump | probably will cost him a national record for average. Hugh Crawley stepped in with a double-header strike to prevent Mount Rainier from being shut out | by Lucky Strike after Ray Parks | had come through with 179 and John Chaney with 165 to give the Luckies the first two skirmishes on their home drives. Chaney's 417 and Parks’ 396 were high for the victors, with Bill Beatty’'s 141—373 |and Ray Ward's 370 best for the suburbanites. | Rosslyn Girls Near Flag. | With his male combination home with the bacon, Galt Davis, the Rosslyn bowling impresario, was | doubly pleased today as his Rosslyn woman team, with a 2-1 victory over the champion Lucky Strikes, had | just about copped the Ladies’ Dis- trict flag for the fifth time in six seasons.
