Coach Lou Little made no bones over
the fact that he was pleased with the
general work of: the Blue and Gray
players in their scrimmage yesterday
with the Temple University gridironers
at Atlantic City.
Not only did the Hilltoppers continue
to show strongly on defense, but stepped
o,,t and gave an exhibition on offense
that was decidedly heartening to Little
and his assistants. With Ed Leary,
clever jtlnior, at quarterback, the Hoya
backs showed power and versatility on

completed preparation Of the course for
the event, Areas on the first and
twelfth fairways. which have washed
out from the rain, have been marked
OF with white chalk and been declared
ground under repair, tees have been re-
paired and softened and the fairwayS
are being clipped closely for the event.
Bannockburn'S putting green's have sur
vived the hot weather in good condi-
ton, although some brown patches stu
appear occasionally. There are no
changes in the course as it was played
in last years tournament, although the
playing conditions this year will be far
different from those of last year. For
in June the club golf and greens COM
mittee decided that BannOckburn's
practice of permitting members to tee
I'D anywhere on the golf course was out
OF date, and issued an order that the
ball must be played where 1t lay, with
certain exceptions noted on the score
card. Last year the ball could be moved
practically anywhere on the course, on
the fairway. in the rough and in haz-
ards, but this year 1t must be played
where 1t lies, except in washouts and
in the spots which are marked ground
under repair" The upshot of the mat
ter inevitably will be that the scoring
will not be so low as last year and that
the visitors will find Bannockburn q
harder golf course to play.
AS might have been expected, Harry
@. Pitt of the Manor Club, former
holder of the mid-Atlantic title. won the
low gross prize In the Kiwanis Club
tournament at the Congressional
Country Club yesterday. registering a
fine score of 70, which is one under par

explain merely that he hit two good

At Winged Foot I asked the big

the ball as hard as he could with

IT take a long, rather loose back

manage, and pull the trigger. Re-
Taxation permits and encourages
speed in the stroke, and it is speed
and not horsepower that sends the

PLAYS TALLMADGE
FOR TITLE MONDAY
Virginia Pitchers Battle for
State H0nors at Gu
pepper Today.

TT is possible that Charles A. Fort,
Government chemist, viii be the
only horseshoe pitcher of several
4 thousand entrants to remain unde-
feated when The Stars metropoli-
tan championship tournament is ended.
OF the four to reach the Washington
finals only Fort came through the three
grades Of competition, preliminary,
divisional and sectional, with clean
slate.
He got by what doomed as a tough
spot yesterday when he defeated N. A.
Pixton, the Brightwood champion. in
the semifinals at the Plaza, and on
Monday, at the same place at 5 O'Clock,
he will clash with Andrew Tallmadge
for the Capital crown.
In the event a-player who qualified
as county runnef-up wins the North
ern Virginia title at Culpeper today, and
Fort triumphs Monday, the chemist will
be the only unbeaten pitcher in the
grand finale that will bring together the
Old Dominion, Southern Maryland and
Washington champions.
Fort caught Pixton of stride and won
decisively. The Brightwood star was
shutOut in the first three innings of the
first game, and had thrown nearly a
dozen shoes before he rung the peg. He
caught up midway the game, however,
and 1t became nip and tuck, with Fort
finally winning, so to 43. The second
skirmish found Pixton's game slipping
and Forts improving. Forts ID ringers
against PiXton'S Is tells the story of the
final, which Fort won by so to 81. To-
ward the finish it appeared that Fort
was passing up opportunities to score.
Pixton throughout was nowhere near his
best form. He had a grand total OF 70
ringers against 81 for Fort.
Culpeper is the mecca OF Virginia
horseshoe pitchers today. The battle for
the Northern Virginia title was to start
at / O'Clock, with Capt. j. G. Albright
in charge of a play-of that was to in
ciude the champions and runners-up Of
10 counties.
Several pet rivalries. and two in par
tcular, will add zest to the play-of. Ed
Henry hopes to get even with H. e.
barnes, who beat him in the Fairfax
County final, and A. A. Kirchner has an
eve on the scalp Of Glenn Talbot, his
conqueror in the Arlington County final.
These were two hot battles, and neither
of the vanquished felt he was decisively
beaten.
The Fairfax and Arlington pitchers
will be among those travelling farthest
to get to the State finals, but they prob
ably won't have the feweSt rooters pres
ent. Half q dozen auto loads OF fans
accompanied them.
Nearly all the visitors to Culpeper
were expected to attend banquet to be
given in honor Of the pitchers tonight
by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce.

Tolley advocates this idea in the
drive, for he says. THE first thing
to obtain Is q comfortable stance"
To this end he advises a slightly
open one-that is, one with the body
slightly facing the hole. To get it
you place the left foot about 3
inches farther back Of the line of
flight than the right and play the
ball OF the left heel. How far away
Is the ball?
He solves that by telling you to
