THAT the Dixie Pigs, champions Of
Prince Georges County. are far
from being down and out fol-
lowing their first defeat In the
Capital City play-off at the hands of
the Takoma Tigers was evinced yester-
day as they flashed championship form
in downing the Anacostia Eagles, Dis
trict title holders, 5 to /.
While the Pigs idle next Sunday, the
Takoma Tigers, who have taken the
lead in the play-off series, will battle
the Anacostia Eagles, with a chance to
eliminate the District winners as they
eliminated Bauserman Motor Co. yester-
day. In this event the Tigers and Dixie
Pigs would fight it out for the cham
pionship.
Despite the fact that the Tigers have
beaten the Pigs and have taken the lead
with two straight wins, many sandlot
prognoSticators still figure the latter
team the best of the lot and look for
them to win the pennant.

N ERION, Pa, September a.
M This amateur golf champion
ship Is test Of match play at
10 and So holes, but before
match play starts there is slight for
mality that has to be looked after.
This consists in qualifying for match
play through two rounds Of medal play,
and these two rounds Of medal play will
eliminate about 80 per cent Of the field
by Tuesday night. So through today
and tomorrow there will be few thoughts
about match play until these two 18-
hole rounds Of medal scoring are COM
pleted, leaving only 80 survivors from
the big cast now struggling through
practice rounds over the Merton course.
These qualifying rounds always are
full of surprises and upsets and more
than passing anguish. Many good ones
always fall by the wayside. A few un-
knowns nearly always hit their peak at
the big moment and crash their way
into the society Of the select
1t will be a far tougher battle than
usual on this occasion, for in addition
TO the seasoned and experienced vet
Grams there Is a long line of younger
stars who are quite capable of playing
any golf course around u or 70. If
each golfer could play close TO his top
game today and tomorrow it would
take something under $50 to make the
grade, counting the two rounds. As it
is. something like two 78s will just about
do it.
The main idea Is to have the head
liners slip through for the sake of the
match play show, but they are all on
their own. This includes such entries
as Jones, Johnston, Won Elm, Voigt,
Moe, Willing, Ouimet, Goodman, Evans,
Mackenzie, Tolley, Perkins, etc, and
some of these will be left out, probably.
The Younger Flock.
THE field is full of young stars who
l. may be heard from in louder tones
than several of the veterans Two
of the best of these are johnny Good
man from Omaha and Don Moe from
Portland, Ore. Both are under % and
both are capable of brilliant golf.
Last September Goodman eliminated
Jones and Moe carried Voigt at a hot
pace all the way down the stretch in
the best scoring match of the cham
| pionship.
Mccarthy, Romans, Moffett Seaver,
| McHugh and Lawson Little make up
| another set who might cause trouble.
| Lawson Little from San Francisco is
| the long-hitting young star who beat
! Goodman at Pebble Beach and carried
! Ouimet to the thirty-sixth hole, where
| both got birdie As and where Ouimet
had to hole a 20-foot putt to win
up. Bobby Moffett recently had a Sc
over the national links and he has
made a fine showing in tournament
play this Summer for an entry who
Is only Is years old.
! But these are only a small part OF
the young, ambitious shooters trying
desperately TO finish among the 80 who
will be left on Tuesday night. There
are small, hometown delegations, often
with the local pro on guard, watching
