All entries sent to The Star from
Maryland and Virginia pitchers will be
turned over to their local chairmen.
Those seeking information on the
tournament should communicate either
withe the chairman Of his community
or the horseshoe editor tphone Ma
tional $1,000. Tomorrow's issue OF The
Star will carry the complete data on
the biggest barnyard golf tournament
ever held in this part of the world
And. by the way, 1t will be an annual
affair.
Has Come to Stay
Interest in the approaching event,
the preliminaries of which will start on
July o. has been such as to indicate
that horseshoe pitching has come back
to stay as a generally popular sport.
Regulation equipment is supplanting the
old barnyard type of pitching shoe
everywhere, and the game is becoming
thoroughly standardized.
Even those busy folk at Hollywood
have gone for it." For years studio
officials racked their brains for some
amusement (craps shooting Is barred
on the lots) to occupy the minds and
time Of motion picture players during
off-times necessary between shots.
Owing to limited space, base ball and
other sports requiring a stable field
of these games are altogether too siren
uous for women.
With the advent of city horseshoe
tournament the directors problem was
solved. Practically every studio now
has its horseshoe courts and few COM
panies leave for location without an
equipment of shoes and stakes to help
while away time in the great open
spaces.
Keeps En- in Shape.
In addition to amusement and the
excitement of competition the players
are finding the game highly beneficial
in keeping them in excellent physical
condition. Due to the constant Stoop-
ing required there is said to be no
better or more pleasant way Of OBJ
tanning the much desired svelte figure.
which doubtless explains why num-
Der of feminine stars are practicing the
ringer game consistently. Quite a few
have entered The Stars tournament
To those inclined to embonpoint
helpful suggestion might not be amiss:
A slit 3-inch old inner tube wrapped
around the waist next to the body will
induct rapid and profuse persipration
This. coupled wit ha half hour of hos7-
shoe f1inging each day, will have mos
pleasing effect.
An interesting variation Of the regu-
lation game may be had by eltrn!-
mating the three-count for ringers. and
counting them simply as the closest
shoe, or one point. For players who
find themselves outclassed by sharp
shooters this will be found to make
the game much more even. Although it
is customary in the modern game to
count only those shoes stopping within
inches of the peg, to beginners it
is often more interesting to tally near
est pitches no matter where they stop.
However, in The Stars tournament
the official rules will be followed in
scoring. Several thousand rules book
lets have been distributed in the terri
tory embraced by The Stars event.
More have been ordered.
