SPORTS. SPORTLIGHT Goodall Round-Robin Is Preview of Open By GRANTLAND RICE, Epecial Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, May 14 (N.AN.A).— There will be an outstanding preview of the U. S. Open championship at Cleveland this week end. It will be in the form of the Goodall round- robin at Fresh Meadow, Long Island, where 15 of the world's leading golf stars will battle man to man in one of the toughest of all golf-tests. The next open at Cleveland should be one of the greatest ever held, with the class of “the field marching in review, where one man must stand alone from more than a thousand starters. The winner plays against the field. At Fresh Meadow we have the selected pick of this championship crop where again the winner must whip the other 14 leading stars. By leading stars I mean such entries as Jimmy Demaret, the top entry for 1940; Ben Hogan, the slender, long- hitting runner-up to his fellow ‘Texan; Byron Nelson, the defending open titleholder, another Texan; Henry Picard, the P. G. A. champion; Sammy Snead, Craig Wood and the New Jersey Adonis who tied Nelson in the last openy Dick Metz; Gene Sarazen and the others who belong around the top. Fine Swing, Cool Head, Stout Heart Make Demaret Tops Moving into the summer stretch, on their way through the Goodall round-robin and the U. S. Open, the first entry to walk beneath the great, white spotlight is Jimmy Demaret, the man with the green hat and the quick smile, from Hous- ton, Tex. Demaret has won seven major tournaments this winter and spring, not including two 1-day tests from which he walked away with the major cash. Demaret has two main factors to back up his challenge—a fine golf swing, plus a cool head, and a stout heart. You also can add a happy, carefree mind. He is the most re- laxed star golfer I've seen since Waiter Hagen's prime. As one star pro said to me, “How ean you beat a man who doesn't seem to care what happens—who never tightens up?” Then there is 132-pound Ben Ho- gan, another Texan, “the mighty atom of golf” one of the longest hitters the game ever has known— the longest hitter in the world, pound for pound, by many yards. Hogan, who played through his last four consecutive tournaments in 32 under par, still is in front for the 1940 scoring mark, just a faint frac- tion over 70. JHogan and Nelson, both Texans, take tournaments much more se- riously than Demaret does. They are two rather tense, hard, grim attlers, keyed to the final touch. Both are hard to discourage, even when off form. In the last open Byron Nelson opened with a 72 or a %3 that for almost any other golfer easily might have been an 80 or higher. For the first two rounds he was in nothing but trouble. And then he hit his stride to be a Man o' War down the stretch. Argentine Champion Likely To Be Threat in Both ‘These are not the only ones. There Is Henry Picard, the tall and willowy P. G. A. champion who is one of the best, as fine a shotmaker with wood and iron as you may care to see. There is Craig Wood, another long driver who has stumbled into more ragged luck than any one in the game. The popular pro at Winged Foot might have won the four major championships of golf were it not for a total distribution of turf less than two inches. That's how close a few missed putts came. There is Sammy Snead, rated by Bobby Jones as the finest all-around swinger he ever saw, who needs only control of his taut nerves to mop up the pack. There is Martin Pose, the Argen- tine champion, who undoubtedly will be a threat in both the round- robin and the open. There are Gene Sarazen, Lawson Little, Horton Smith, Paul Runyon, Jimmy Hines and others who can get. hotter than a dozen packs of fire- crackers. The winner usually is the fellow who can take the hardest nerve and mental beating, who can stick to his guns, who refuses to get dis- couraged over a few mishaps. This is the sort of game golf is. It is the greatest test under fire of nerve and mental control I've ever known. It is & game that demands not only swinging skill, but above all, the ability to keep direct thought upon the next shot to play, no matter what it is and regardless of what may have happened before. This Game of Golf Largely A Matter of Attitudes Golf largely is a matter of mental attitudes. I can name you any number of golfers among the pros who have an almost perfect swing, who can use wood and iron effec- tively in friendly or exhibition play. But golf means something more than physical proficiency—grip and stance—the main fundamentals. It also means the ability to keep on concentrating through shot after shot—hole after hole—round after round. Winning golf means swinging skill, but also it means “thinking of the right thing at the right time,” as Long Jim Barnes expresses it. It means concentrated thought on the essentials of the swing. Even among the leading pros the tend- ency or the temptation to steer the ball at a vital moment is over- whelming. In the last four months Demaret and Hogan have shown greater abil- ity than any others in this matter of concentrated thought. It now has been more than a month since the two left off and it will be interesting to see whether or not they can re- sume their winning ways at Fresh Meadow in the round-robin. If they can they will be doubly danger- ous at Cleveland'’s hurly-burly later on. Golf largely is a game of fighting off distractions, shot by shot. The only stroke that should matter is the next one to be played, and that's been the way Demaret and Hogan have handled their work to date, - District ng Unkmd To Many Proleges 0f Champ’s Boss Petey Not Well Trained For 15-Round Battle Tomorrow Night By LEWIS F. ATCHISON. If the law of averagés hasn't been revoked, Pete Reilly is due for a big, fat slice of good fortune in tomorrow night's 15-round feather- weight bout between his entry, swarthy Petey Scalzo, and Frankie Covelli‘of Chicago. Covelli is dis- puting Scalzo's, claim to the Na- tional Boxing Association cham- pionship. In the maul and mitten industry Rellly is known as “The Fox,” an unflattering tribute to his keen mind, shrewd judgment of ringmen and uncanny hunches. You've got to be a young Einstein to put one over on him. But in agreeing to a Scalzo-Covelli argument in our town Peter is courting disaster, for ‘Washington has béen the reef on which the hopes and ambitions of no less than three Reilly-directed warriors have come to grief. The gods may be scowling at Reilly still, for Scalzo is wearing a tired-of-it-all expression as he nears the end of the training grind, while Covelli is flashing million-dolar form. Off their last heavy per- formances yesterday it wouldn't be surprising to see Covelli's arm hoisted at the end of 15 rounds and unbiased observers think he's a cinch to win if he gets over the first seven rounds. Stage Is After Scalzo. Scalzo made a personal appear- ance at a downtown theater Sunday night and literally laid 'em in the aisles with his “Grik pipples” dia- lect. He has a rich sense of humor, a streak of showmanship and a good act and has had several offers from theatrical agents. One is try- ing to wean himgrom boxing right now and Reilly issued instructions to Trainer Dan Floria to keep him away from any and all agents. But the fact that Scalzo is more than casually interested, plus that weary training expression, doesn’t augur well for his ring future. The bleak background for this sketch is one of broken hopes and a lengthening chain of mishaps. First of all there was the night Freddy Miller, Reilly’s pride and featherweight champion was batted out from under his crown by Petey Sarron at Griffith Stadium. It was a cruel blow to Reilly, who had be- come quite attached to the title. Next came the elimination tour- nament in which Scalzo lost to Tony | Dupre in a rain-flooded ring after having him on the deck early in the engagement. That loss threatened to blow him clean out of the 126- pound race. More Left-Handed Breaks. The scene shifted back to Miller and an exciting night at Turner’s Arena where he dropped a hotly disputed decision to Leo Rodak of Chicago. The winner got a crack at Joey Archibald, then universally recognized champion of the division and the irony of it was that Miller won more rounds than Rodak, but couldn’t match his total point score. And, as if throwing in another left-hand break for good measure, the fates frowned on Reilly again when Joey Ferrando, a lightweight from his stable, suffered a head in- jury in a joust with Norment Quarles at the arena. There was no imma- diate reaction as it appeared to be a mere scalp wound easily closed by a surgeon’s stitches. But six months later Ferrando collapsed during a bout at Pittsburgh and a subsequent examination disclosed that Quarles’ slashing hit on the head had started the trouble. After this string of reverses it would seem that Reilly is sticking out his neck by permitting Scalzo to go to bat against Covelli, a hungry fighter who has an even chance of winning the title. Fighters Taper Off. Reilly either knew something or was smart when he refused to send Scalzo to New Orleans for a so- called title bout with Jimmy Perrin, but he is putting his foot back into a mess of trouble tomorrow night. Scalzo went three rounds with Carl Guggino again yesterday. Covelli chased Billy Banks to cover in three and worked two more with Ray .Landis, Phil Furr’s protege who will make his pro debut on the card. Ticket sales have been slow, but Promoter Joe Turner reported a late rush for reservations today and expects to have a big sale at the stadium tomorrow night after the Government checks are distributed.

As Brescia Defeats Lazer in Sad Bout Riverside Fiasco Shows Poor Matchmaking, Not Environment, at Fault . It must be apparent after last night's beggarly turnout at Riverside Stadium that neither a cramped arena nor crabby press are respon- sible for parking boxing behind the 8-ball in Washington. Some 600 fans laid 534 iron men on the line to see Jorges Brescia waltz 10 rounds with Roy Lazer and the figures give eloquent voice source of trouble, It's the match- making. Maybe it isn't possible to import better talent; maybe Mike Jacobs has every worthwhile fighter hog- tied for his own purposes, but to say a roomier, well swept arena and more flattering press notices would blot out boxing’s ills is a gross ca- nard. Riverside is attractive in cer- tain respects, but it's boxing interior is sadly in need of renovation. Running in Reverse Gear. In three shows now Riverside has moved steadily in reverse gear. Last night's gate was only a few dollars above the all-time low hung up at Turner's Arena last winter and in the latter instance snow and blus- tering wintry weather helped keep the folks at home. You've got to have appetizing matches to make the public part with its hard-earned shekels and thus far Riverside has failed to produce one. Jimmy Erwin, who certainly knows enough about the ring game to recognize good matches, has re- ceived the whole-hearted support of both the boxing commission and the press and his failure to deliver leads to a suspicion he doesn’t have enough financial support to bring in high-grade fighters. Either that or Jimmy is timid with his dough. Merely Opens Old Wounds. Well, Brescia couldn’t figure out Lazer's weaving and bobbing style but opened up a couple of old battle wounds over Roy's eyes and messed him up enough to win the decision. Lazer almost knocked Jorges for a homer in the first round but could- n't follow up. He forced the fight- ing (?) and might have been re- warded with a draw on general principles. Gilbert Mayo scored a technical kayo over Tommy Ricco in his first pro bout, making good use of su- perior reach and weight. Maynard Daniels rang up a clean-cut knock- out over Teddy Martin in the semi- final, putting the New Yorker in the hay in the first round. Sammy Magro scored four knock- downs in winning a unanimous de- cision over Vic Finazzo and Floyd Grayson outpointed Billy Richard- son in the four-round opener. Hoya Racketers, Facing Navy, Terps, Glad They Beat A. U. It wouldn't be admitted publicly, but there was a sneaking suspicion on the Hilltop today that George- town's tennis team yesterday won the only match of three it is sched- uel to play this week. And they're probably thankful that the competi- tion was no stronger than that pro- vided by American University which bowed for the second time this sea- son to the Hoyas, 7-2.

Gonzaga's first varsity baseball team in eight years has been im- proving steadily since the season started in ragged fashion a month ago and while Coach Thomas En- right is pleased with the progress made by a small, inexperienced squad, he is looking ahead to next year when all but one of the current regulars will return. Despite a rough start the nine now boasts a .500 average, with four wins and four losses and the Purple has played some first-rate teams. The most recent games have brought vic- tories over Woodward and Devitt, the latter a team that held an ear- lier triumph over Gonzaga. Others to bow are Georgetown freshman and Falmouth.

Schombert to Be Only Loss. ‘The only regular who will not re- turn next year is John Schombert, clever third baseman. His place likely will be taken by Joe Murphy. Several football and basket ball players have helped the I streeters in their diamond efforts. Fred Rice, pitcher; Bobby Mulvihill, hard-hit- ting shortstop; Elmer Raba, out- fielder, and Bud Rowzie, first base- man, all have performed notably in basket ball and football. Against ‘Woodward, Rice hurled a two-hitter while Mulvihill slammed a pair of homers in the Devitt game. Raba, one of the fastest players in the line- up, needs toning down insofar as running the bases is concerned. Rowzie shows promise of becoming one of the best inflelders in school- boy ranks. Helping Rice with the mound duties are Joe O’Lone, Al Garland and Murphy. Two John Walshes, one a senior and the other a sopho- more, alternate at second, while the catching department is handled by | the steadily-improving Franny Vin- | cent and Jimmy Diggins. The latter may see hurling duty next year. Has Plenty of Outfielders. Helping Raba in the outfield are Tom Whalen, lead off man and con- | sistent hitter, and Don Reilly and Al | Bello, who take turns playing right- field. Reilly is a speedy ball hawk Raba holds the important clean-up position. Gonzaga's next game is Thursdlv with Georgetown Prep at Glrren, Park and if the invaders can pre-| vent the Prepman from having one big inning they hope to improve thein, present rating. Several early season games were lost when the op- | but Coach Enright says that is not | likely to happen again. Griffs’ Records Batting, | 2. 3b HR.

Hot Contender for Scholastic Crown Proves Class as Netman In Friends Junior Win; Doyle Gets Boys’ Title By BILL DISMER, JR. Not satisfled with a swell job which produced Bobby Bensinger of ‘Takoma Park Academy and Sam Doyle.of St. Albans as the junior and boy schoolbay tennis cham- pions of the Capital area, Priends 8chool today announced that start- ing Saturday, it would conduct the first genuine interscholastic tour- nament held here in years. The difference between the tour- ney which finished yesterday and the one coming up four days hence is that there will be no age limit in the latter. The only stipulation is that en- trants must be certified by respon- sible officials to be in good stand- ing at a preparatory or high school. The privilege of representing Washington in the national inter- scholastics at Merion Cricket Club in Philadelphia this summer will go to the champion. Of those who participated in the junior tournament won by Ben- singer, only those who reached the quarter-finals will be allowed to compete. Others who were too old for the early tourney may file en- tries for the interscholastic tourney with Tony Latona at Friends School until noon Priday. There will be an entry fee of $1. If Bensinger, who today holds his first junior championship after na- | tional recognition as a hoy player, enters the interscholastic competi- tion, it wouldn't be surprising to see him win. He completed the rout of | the junior field by walloping Dick Williams of Alexandria’'s Episcopal High, 6—1, 6—1. Just as one-sided was the boys’ final, in which Doyle buried Delos (Cotton) Smith of Friends by 6—0, 6—0 scores. Difficult New Course To Test Hunfers in Washingfon Show Seven Fences in Round Designed by Fadeley To Please Spectators Exhibitors in the Washington Horse 8how, to be held Priday, Sat- urday and Sunday at Meadowbrook Saddle Club, will find a new outsice hunter course awaiting them, and unless their mounts are up to big- time standard they don’t figure to help their cause. Unlike previous years, when the outside course was not easily seen by spectators from the stands, this time the new one planned by Fenton Fadeley should be a joy to the fans as well as the owner and rider of a wide awake and capable mount. Seven fences make up the new course, starting with a 3 foot 9 inch post and rail jump. A rustic gate the same height takes the entry out of the ring, where the first fence is 8 post and rail measuring 4 feet, A new, well-built Aiken fence, popu- lnriud by Thomas Hitchcock, is next and then a stiff in-and-out with 28 feet between the first and second jumps. The first of the two 18 313 feet high and the second 4 feet, A worm fence 4 feet high follows. Some of the best show ring hunt- ers in the East will vie for the thres hunter championships which will be awarded late Sunday. Hexameter and Illuminator, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Untermyer, Greenwich, Conn., are the latest title holders to arrive at the show grounds, while 4 Mrs. John Hay Whitney's Faithful Heart and Strong Tea, Mr. and Mrs. George Watts Hill's Inky, Lucky \Buck and Balkonian, Mr. and Mrs. W. Haggin Perry’s Scotchwood, Ann Miller'’s Orphan Boy and Dr. Lewis M. Allen’s Will Prevail and Clifton's Lad are among many due shortly. Lyncnburs. 11 Salem-Staunton.

M 14, 1940 Rumors around town via Lh;’mpevine that blues were being caught around Hatteras and Oregon Inlet in the Carolinas seem a bit premature. | Latest reports are that the water still is too cold for good fishing, although channel bass catches continue to come in almost daily. | no blues yet. In other words, The big drum are reason enough for a trip to the Carolmu though, especially since they are along the<- veaches and surf anglers are be- | ginning to connect. In fact the peak of this sport may be this week. Al- | ways remember that a northeaster can ruin fishing along this section as it can no other place. A whistling no'easter is no fun anywhere, but between the Inlet and Hatteras it's | terrible. Hardhead fishing is good at Benedict, but perhaps the best catch of all was made by John Richards of The Star circula- tion department. Fishing from a rowboat on the oyster beds across the Patuxent River he pulled in a fishing line. He kept pulling, and attached to on end was a rod and reel. Apparentl; they had been in the water several | days as they were encrusted with small seashell life. Richards kept pulling. and reaching the business end of the line he found a hardhead on the hook, and the fish still was alive and kicking. Richards says that any one identi- fying the rod and reel may reclaim same, but the fish already has been eaten. And speaking of unusual catches, John L. Pfeil of West Falls Church recently caught a 13%-inch rain- bow trout in Difficult Run below | the bridge at Hunters Station. | | Needless to say this big fish has 0 | caused plenty of discussion in Falls Church. 1t appears to be the largest trout taken from that stream Anybody know of a larger one? Pfeil has caught lots of Masterson AR Pr - B et ST Eogecoe & r sornswezB et A e = brook trout in that stretch of water, but he never heard of any one taking a rainbow. | He does recall that some of the rolder anglers around there speak |of the time when Maj.

The waters were stocked with rainbow and this big fish may be the de- scendant of one of those private fish of so long ago. Any one re- member anything about that? Fishing Association Active. The Chesapeake Bay Fishing Fair Association is swinging into action. | First catches were reported last week in the area where that ore ganization has its headquarters, vith hardhead being taken in the hoptank River off Oxford and Tilghmans.
