n EvERAL times during the past
year Dave Thomson, the fine
playing little professional at the
Washington Golf and Country
Club, has been within couple of puts
of shattering the course record held
by Maurice j. Mccarthy, former
Georgetown University amateur, now
living in New York, where he recently
won the metropolitan amateur cham
pionship for the second consecutive
time.
Davie has had q number Of 68s and
several SIS, but each time 1t seemed he
was well started on the road toward
breaking that Sc, or at least becoming
the co-holder of the record, something
has happened.
The Washington course is like that.
You think you are going along well
and everything looks rosy, when some
hole like the fifteenth looms up and
knocks you for row of buzzards and
there you are-just another ordinary
golfer
Well, Dave started out yesterday with
Verne Simmons and Ward B. Mccarthy,
by chipping up 10 feet away at the first
hole and sinking the putt. He went
raped in another bird, and then he
got a miraculous par at the sixth,
where he almost pitched into the cup
from the hillside at the right. Then at
the eighth the little pro nearly holed
his second shot for deuce. The ball
came to rest only inches away and he
got another birdie 8. That left him
needing a par at the ninth for 80.
but the bunker at the right caught
his tee shot and he got out in SO.
Now the last nine at Washington Is
considered easier than the first nine,
and with a 80 behind him, it seemed
as if Dave might do another SO or
better. But the heat got to him, he
waxed careless and three puts on the
tenth and eleventh greens spelled the
end of that fine chance to break or
tie the course record With the ten
sion gone, Dave let down and took z
on the fifteenth.
Only at Washington does an amateur
golfer hold the course record. At all
the other layouts about the Capital a
professional has been able to score
lower than an amateur golfer, and In
some cases the professional mark Is
several strokes lower than the best the
simon pures have been able to record
But then the professionals have not
played Washington as often as they
have played some of the other courses,
which may or may not have something
to do with this course record thing.
Some day some golfer is going to get
real "hot" and play the Washington
course in about So strokes. It can be
done, particularly with the course as
fast as it is these days, provided he
gets past such holes as the seventh
and fifteenth.
A few days ago Col. James Magee
made the first hole in l at the course
of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps
Country Club, which evidently stirred
the ire of Comdr D. F. Ducey, for he
needed the biblical injunction to go
and do likewise and countered with
an ace for the Navy to match the one
made by the Army representative.
The service club course has been in
use only for two years, and during that
time there has not been a hole in l
until few days ago Col. Magee de-
cided enough time had elapsed. So

CHANGE IN BUTLER
ATHLETICS IS SEEN

INDIANAPOLIS, August 4 P).-This
Indianapolis Star says 1t has learned
from reliable sources that Harry
M. Bell, athletic director at Lombard
College. Galesburg, ILL.,. will succeed
George (Potsy) Clark as head of the
Butler University athletic department.
The change, the Star says, is direct
outgrowth of Buffers suspension by the
North Central Association OF Colleges
early this year. Among the charges
brought against the indianapolis school
was one that disproportionate amount
of money was spent on athletics.
The Star says that as part OF the
reorganization plan Butler officials
propose to trim the present coaching
staff and to reduce the salaries of those
retained.
Butler officials refused to comment,
referring all inquiries to Arthur v.
Brown, chairman of the athletic COM
mittee, who is out of the city on a
vacation.

ERIC PEDLEY HELD
ASSURED OF BERTH
Earns No. I Position Along
With Guest, Hitchcock, for
International Play.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, August 4--ofheialiy'
nj Americas team to defend the
IN Westchester Polo Cup will not
be named until September s.,
on the eve of the international matches
with Great Britain, but the games
grand-stand managers are willing to
wager that three of the four posts al
ready have been filled to all intents and
purposes.
These experts predict that when the
American team rides out to face the
British in the first match on September
Tommy Hitchcock, leader of the de-
lending forces, will be at No. 3. Win
ston Guest at back and Eric Pedley,
the California sharpshooter, at No. /.
In most of the five trial matches thus
far played this trio has formed the
backbone of the whites" or varsity
team. 1t had been assumed previously
that the No. 3 and back positions would
go to Hitchcock and Guest, but the No.
and No. 2 posts were regarded as
wide-open propositions, with no over
whelming favorite for either one. Ped
ley, however, seems to have solved
Hitchcock's worries so far as the No. l
position Is concerned.
The Californian has played brilliant
polo to practically clinch place on
the international team. He scored IL
goals week ago Sunday, 8 on We'd
nesday and yesterday as Hitchcock's
Whites moved down the Reds, "a to
10. The Whites put on an amazing
display of scoring strength to crush a
quartet composed of G. H. (Pete) Bost-
wick, Elmer j. Boeseke of California, H.
w. (Rube) Williams of Texas and j. c.
Rathb0rne, former Yale star. The Reds
were given a six-goal. handicap. but
never had a chance against the bril-
liant riding and accurate shooting of
the Whites.
Cecil Smith, former Texan, rode at
No. 2 for the Whites and Pedley. Hitch
cock and Guest in their usual positions.
The Whites "a goals were contributed
In this manner: Pedley. 9; Hitchcock,
z; Smith, S; Guest, 3.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
by W. r. McCALLUM-

he took his trusty iron in hand on the
revamped seventh hole and knocked
the ball in from the tee for the first
ace. Maj J. F. Mcneil saw the shot.
And yesterday along came Comdr.
Ducey, with the conversation of that
ace made by the Army ringing in his
ears. So he came to the short seven
tenth, a 160-yard affair. and here he
knocked his ball into the cup for the
second ace within a few days, after
a drought of two years. w. A. Angin
witnessed that shot, and now honorS
are even between the Army and Navy
in the matter of ace. How about the
Sea-SoldierS?
w. Fred Byrne, genial chairman of
the Bannockburn golf committee, de-
cided yesterday that he should cut in
for a share of the prizes in the events
he stages each week end at the Glen
Echo organization, and so he went out
and shot himself 81 in the best nine
as the Potomac Handicap"
From the 18 holes played the best
mines were chosen, and Byrne scored
81. William L. Pendergast, holder of
the club title, scored 80, and there was
triple tie for third place between G. E.
Moore, L. F. Pass and j. I. Alexander,
each of whom scored 33.
C. w. Stoddard won the match play
against par event arranged at the week
end feature at the Manor Club yester-
day, finishing up on par. He was
aided by a'handicap of nine strokes. w.
w. Dean, with is handicap, finished
down to par, in second place.
w. T. Henderson won the Cheverly
cup at the Beaver Dam Club yesterday
with a card of 82-13-69. George
House tied for second with score of
94-23-71, with A. B. Robertson, who
had 92-21-71.

ASPIRANTS FOR CUP
DEFENSE ON CRUISE
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEWPORT, r. l., August 4.-The
four candidates for the honor of de-
tending the Americas Cup and about
100 other sleek yachts race today to
Mattapoisett, Mass, a distance of 81
miles, on the second run of the annual
New York Yacht Club cruise.
The cup candidates, Weetamoe, En-
terprise, Yankee and Whirlwind, were
to get away first as a separate division,
and other sailing craft, classified &C.
cording to size and ratings, were to
leave in other divisions at five-minute
intervals.
The Weetamoe, Morgan Nichols syn
dictate sloop, won the opening run, from
New London to Newport, on Saturday.
The eight-day yacht club cruise has
no official bearing on the selection Of
the sloop which will defend the Aneri-
cas- Cup against Sir Thomas Liptons
Shamrock v in September, but gives
the crews of the sloops chance to get
better organized and the shippers an
opportunity to experiment in an effort
to get the best speed possible out of
their craft.

Rosenbloom is heavy favorite.
Those who have watched Dix's speedy
