SHOE PITCHING is DOOMED
HEREABOUT BY THE STAR

Peake repeated his triumph of 1929
in the Southern Maryland section of
the big tournament, but was given
sitter competition. But for a great fin
ish he would have lost to Charles A.
Fort in the Bethesda preliminary. In
the State finals he met tartar in Wal
ter Kolb, an unheralded star from
Poolesville.
THE rise of several youngsters was a
i feature of the tournament Clay
tor c. Henson of Arlington, II
years old, won the Northern Virginia
title, with the defending champion,
Alexander Kirchner, the runner-up.
Henson had no soft pickings. One of
his rivals was George c. Thompson of
Falls Church. the Fairfax County title
holder, who had pitched sensationally
until the State finals, in which he lost
form.
Two other unbearded youths, William
Slant and William Greiner, distin-
guished themselves in the Washington
division Slant won the East section
championship and Greiner was the
runner-up. They were 'unknowns"
until the late stages of the tournament.
TTHE game itself doomed. There were
i many more pitchers in the tourna-
ment and the standard of play was
much higher. there being fully 10 times
as many skilled performers as in
1929, when horseshoe pitching under
championship conditions was a novelty
here.
A feature of the season was the con-
gressional championship tournament.

TO Harry Fraser Saunders, a new
conner to Washington, belongs
the distinction Of having van
pushed the largest field that en-
gagged in any single sports event
in this section during the last year.
Saunders won the Metropolitan district
horseshoe pitching championship. in
which approximately 5000 competed
1t was the second annual tournament
sponsored by The Washington Star.
Saunders scored a decisive victory
He swept through the Iowa Avenue
Playground preliminary and the Iowa
Avenue division meet without serious
opposition. He captured the West sec
ton title, and then the Washington
championship almost as easily. Not I'M
til the grand finale, in which the cham
pions and runnefs-up of Southern
Maryland and Northern Virginia and
the last four survivors Of play in WASH
ington met, was he given battle.
He was extended to win from Vic
Riston, the Brookland champion, and
then was forced to use all his skill to
vanquish Willard Peake in the final
match. Peake, Metropolitan champion
of the previous year, had 49-48 lead
in the first game when Saunders tossed
on a three-pointer to win. This was
the closest Saunders came to losing
game in the entire tournament. He
took the second skirmish from Peake
with comparative ease. To stave OF
Riston in one sensational game, he put
on I3 ringers out Of Is shoes.

were numerous, leagues played
through long schedules enthusiastic

Two championship tournaments of
a local character attracted sizeable
fields and were productive of an ex-
cellent brand of tennis. These were
the Washington city championships
and the District Of Columbia cham

the Washington city championships and
