n
ment of H. F. Saunders,
champion of the Park View sec
ton in The Stars second annual
tournament. In an independent
contest at Benning, with one Of
the bevy of Veihmeyer brothers,
he put on % shoes out of &c
pitched.
1T was the best game ever pitched"
said Saunders, who is one of the favor
ties to win the metropolitan crown now
held by Willard Peake of Bethesda.
Saunders performance at Benning
isn't likely to dishearten other stars
in the tournament, however. All know
the uncertainties of the game and that
even the best can loose easily to in
ferior pitchers on of days. And one
of day in anything but final round
Is enough to eliminate player in this
tournament One defeat and you're out.
ssT'vE beaten most of the good ones
i around Washington" says Saun-
ders. but the odds are strong against
me or any other pitcher at this stage
of the tournament to win the met
ropolitan title I've been made to look
bad at times by pitchers could beat
In nine games out of ten"
THE horseshoe editor has under con-
j sideration a proposal to qualify
four Washington pitchers and two each
in Maryland and Virginia for the
grand finale This would put eight
contestants in the big play-of and the
pairings would come out even.
Considerable contention has marked
some of the preliminaries in which
three men reach the final. How to
award the bye has been a problem
with some chairInen, and not all have
settled the thing satisfactorily. In next
years tournament there will be an
iron-clad rule to govern three-man
play-offs.
In the grand finale last year. Millard
Peake. Southern Maryland champion,
drew the bye and Alex K1rchner, Viz
ginia, and Charles A. Fort, Washington,
played the first match, Foft winning.
Then Peake defeated Fort to take the
metropolitan crown. After that Fort
and Kirchner pitched for second prize.
CHAIRMAN JOHN NEITzEY at
- Chillum has adopted fair means
of disposing of the bye in his
tiaree-man final scheduled tonight. The
three will pitch a 50-point game and
the low man will drop out altogether.
Richard Crandell, Frank Nichols and
Roger johnson are the principals and
hot time is the prospect when they get
together back of the Neitzey Brothers
gasoline mart.
tom CRACK. the chairman at Ball
u ston, had trouble on his hands for
while when DR.. Eye, Glenn
Talbot and Charlie Darr wound up in
q final. Darr drew the bye and DR..
Eve beat Talbot and Darr for the title.
The doctor had undisputed possession
of the title and some accounted Darr
the runner-up automatically, but this
didn't seem fair to Talbot.
Darr and Talbot pitched for the
runner-up pace and Talbot. the cham
pion last year, won, but Darr supporters
still maintain he should have been given
second place.
Your horseshoe editor can't see the
fairness Of that. =. The bye should be
avoided wherever possible in any sport.
