M Brandon proclaimed to all
v v and sundry that the man
who won the Falls Church
preliminary in the Metropolitan dis
trict horseshoe championship would
move right on to q major title it was
no idle boast.
Today he presented some figures and
at the same time reiterated his pre-
diction. The figures reveal that George
G. Thompson who won the Falls Churcn
title, chucked 142 ringers out OF 5O4
shoes in the seven games ne pltcneo.
This gave him an average OF 28 per
hundred. which is extremely high Tor
this NSection of the country.
But Thompson, although ne
triumphed, wasn't in 1t with sam
barnes, the runner-up, in the matter
of pitching ringers. barnes threw 15S
out of 386 shoes for an average OF S5.1.
Moreover, in one game he established
Metropolitan district record Tor cnam-
pionship play with IS ringers out OF
So shoes.
Brandon's statistics tend to show that
barnes is really more formidable than
the Falls Church champion. Tnomp-
sons close shoes put him over In the
final, in which he won two out OF three
games from barnes.
H. E. barnes, Sans brother, also
Church. He threw IL out of 242 shoes
for an average of 80.
EALLS CHURCH pitchers look for
l. ward eagerly to the Northern VIZ
ginia finals, which will be held late
this month at Bancroft, in Arlington
County. They are cocksure that
either Thompson or barnes or both
will survive the Fairfax County play
offs, which will be staged under
Brandon's direction at Falls Church.
The county pairings will be made in
such manner that Thompson and
barnes won't meet unless in the f1nal
match, Thompson being placed at the
top of the list and barnes at the bot
tom.
