|" of Washington and Viz
ginia as we'll as Maryland
will gather at Seat Pleas
ant tomorrow night expectant OF
many thrill in the play-offs for
the Southern Maryland cham
pionship in the Metropolitan Dis
trict tournament sponsored by
The Star.
There will be only six players,
but all of these are title threats.
Heading the list will be Willard E.
Peake, defending champion and holder
Of the metropolitan district title. Per-
hapS his most respected rival will be
Walter Kolb, who halls from Pools
vile, but won the Laytonsville pre-
liminary.
Ever since Kolb fooled the horseshoe
dopesters and gave Peake wicked
battle for the Montgomery County title
he has been printing for the next en-
counter with the big Bethesdan. The
pair will represent Montgomery County.
From Prince Georges County will be
Raymond Panholzer of Seat Pleasant
and j. Plumer of Mount Rainier. Pan
holzer whipped Plumer in the county
final, but Plumer previously had shown
his capability by tossing % ringers in
one game-a game in which he was on
his mettle from start to finish, for his
opponent, Duke Huntington of Seat
Pleasant, also was on the stake con-
sistently.
Charles County will send William
Sullivan and Lester Hottie to the State
finals, and we have it from Chairman
Walsh of Indian Head that these two
won't be- set-ups. They have thrown
many q ringer this Summer and not a
few of them in flockS.
However, Welsh predicts no victory
for Charles County.
Merely We are stronger this year
than last" is the way he puts 1t.
Play tomorrow night will start at
7:30 O'Clock on the courts of the Seat
Pleasant Fire Department. Pairings
will be drawn just before play time by
the horseshoe editor. Peake will be
seeded at the top of the draw and Kolb
at the bottom, these two on past per-
formances outranking the others.
THE Southern Maryland winner and
i runner-up will represent their
State in the metropolitan grand
finale, scheduled for next Saturday at
$3.50 o'clock on the Plaza Playground,
near Union Station.
In the meantime Washington neigh
finishing divisional play-offs, and on
Thursday the survivors will have 1t out
for East and West section honors. The
section finalists will play Friday for
the city title, and all four will carry
on into the grand finals.
HENRY IRVING of Rosedale and
i William Greiner of Benning have
been doing well in the Rosedale
division play-offs. In their last matches
Irving trimmed Jack Harding of Ben
ming, so to 81. and Greiner knocked on
Sidney Stem Of Wheatley, so to %.

Harry Saunders was the only player
to win al four games. and Sam barnes
in this respect led the Virginians, his
only loss being to Saunders. He was
leading Saunders, AZ to 81, when the
Washingtonian pulled out of the hole
with seven straight ringers.
The team match was something Of an
experiment for this section of the coun-

of an assurity.
Alex Kirchner in q desperate effort
to staye of defeat for his team threw
80 ringers in the final game, which was
with Crane.
Earle stuck gamely, however, and
