THIS from George L. Voith. 6l4
Longfellow street northwest, in
facetiouS moment:
IN. A. Pxton and myself
would like very much TO obtain
A 'warm-up' match with any two GOOD
horseshoe pitchers in the city. Last
Sunday we took exactly IA pairs OF
Br.ghtwood artists and quit only when
Pixtons wife called him to mind the
baby"
Harry Buscher, we'll known as base
ball player, remarks: Il see where a
great many bowlers have entered the
horseshoe tournament. 1t Is a game OF
control and I wonder if they are any
better at this than some Of US old ball
players. How about team match be-
tween bowlers and ball players? Here's
hoping to see more diamond athletes In
the tournament"
All is not quiet along the Potomac.
The Summer camp horseshoe fingers
are in a turmoil over the coming
tournament. We hear from Wesley II.
Miltner, summering at Windy Run
Village, on the Virginia side between
Chain and Key bridges:
I'VE claim about the best amateur
horseshoe pitchers known to mankind,
DSulB WllllIlk 10 UStCh up LAuo S4d.AAA VAIL
matches which can be arranged by
phonine me at National 5000, branch 80,
between the hours of 9 am. and 4:30
pm"
1t will be recalled that Miltner and
the missus won the husband and wife
bowling championship of Washington
last Winter in big tournament spon-
Sored by John S. Blick.
Mrs. Miltner Is recovering from
painful wound incurred by stepping on
a nail, but hopes to be in shape for the
horseshoe doin'S.
Among the leading pitchers of Windy
Run Village. we learn from Miltner, are
Emory Bonini, Ed Henderson. Frank
Yilek. Richard Albin, and Harry Ellis
and his son Joe.
The Potomac campers are privileged
to enter the various preliminaries of
Washington or Arlington or Mont
gomery Counties or they may form
unit of their own. In the latter event
it Is required that they select chair
man to communicate with the horseshoe
editor.

There are probably 100000 more
playing in various organizations and
independent of organization.
And add to that total 5000 profess
Sional base ball players in the various
leagues or organized base ball and a
few independent circuits
Golf Leaping Ahead.
But golf is gaining so fast the good
work of the Legion and the other or
CARNATIONS encouraging base ball may
never enable the old national game to
regain supremacy.
This years American Legion pro-
gram is booming along at great rate.
Probably there is no buster man in
America than Dan Sewers, its director
He and his few field workers have been
on the road constantly for the last
three months. June 80 was the last
day for teams to enter the competition
and it may be several weeks before the
exact number of competing teams Is
announced.
But Sewers is fairly confident he IS
near his goal of 100000 boys this year
That was the goal he set last Winter
when he made his annual report.
The great success of the tournament
last year made it easier to enlist more
teams this season.
Just where the American Legion Will
end in number of competitors depends
on the money available to work with
and the amount of help from the men,
Der post. At present organized base
ball is donating $4,000 annually to-
ward the playing of of the champion
ship. That amount is but a drop in
the bucket, however, when the travel
ling expenses are totaled.
Starts With Local Games.
The first copetmition is local. Local
championship teams everywhere will
then compete for the championship of
their congressional districts. The
district champions will fight it out for
the State Championships, and the
States will meet in the regional
championships.
