tunity to play The Wearin' of the

At the finish of the journey, Cues
tionnaire. which sire won the event in
1924, was five lengths in front of w. NJ.
Moore's Danour, while another ten
lengths back trailed M. Shea'S one-eyed
campaigner, Sandy Ford, in third and
last place. Workman refused to let
the Butler colt run until the trio left
the back stretch. Then he passed Sandy
Ford, the pacemaker, as if the latter
was tied to a post. From the top of
the stretch to the judges stand. he just
galloped along content to toy with his
opposition

Holman Victim of farrell in
Tune-up Battle for Big
Tourney.

T YYATTSVILLE, Md, July lin
- dications are that Merle He'll
man, who has won the Hyatts-
vile horseshoe pitching tourna-
ment conducted under the auspices of
The Evening Star for the last two years
and once captured Prince Georges
County laurels, will have tough going to
land Hyattsville honcrs again. Heilman
was unable to compete in the county
final last year.
Rolph FARRELL, son of Councilman T.
D. FARRELL, looms right now as par
ticularly formidable opponent Of He'll
mans in the HyattSville matches. In
warm-up competition last night FARRELL
took Heilman over the hurdles in three
straight games. Heilman is not yet in
the best trim, but was good enough to
trounce Chief Deputy Sheriff Thomas H
Garrison. a highly capable pitcher, a
couple Of evenings before he took on
FARRELL incidentally, Garrison is figured
to make strong bid for Hyattsville
honors.
Throws Three Quarter Turn.
Young FARRELL, who starred as member
VI Cllc DdoheL DdIl UcdIIl III
the Prince Georges County League last
Winter, uses the three-quarter turn in
his horseshoe pitching. This is a highly
effective shoe, and to date FARRELL has
been demonstrating ability to fling it ac-
curately. In former tournaments JAR
rell has shown well, but has been ham
dicapped apparently by the old bugaboo
of stage fright. His hackers have high
hopes that he will be able to overcome
this in the coming matches.
Councilman FARRELL also is getting set
for stout bid for Hyattsville laurels, as
are host of others, who are practicing
regularly on various courts around town.
Ernest Davis, prominent member of
the Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, and Fats Robinson, who were
runners-up to Heilman last year and in
1929, are among those expected to
figure prominently in the Hyattsville
competition.

Gourvenec Second in State
Last Year, Rev. Dawson
County Champion.

Y LARRY FRASER SAUNDERS,
- handsome young collegian
j. L from Missouri, won the
horseshoe championship of
Washington last year without
struggle and swept on to the
Metropolitan District crown, but
this Summer redhot struggles for
both titles are promised whether
or not Saunders returns to defend
them. He hopes to do so.
Half a dozen or more pitchers have
advanced beyond the skill displayed by
Saunders in his victorious campaign.
They are distributed among Maryland,
Virginia and Washington, with the
Capital City having major share.
Two brand-new metropolitan title
threats will be in the giant field that
gets under way July 81. One Of them,
John Gourvenec, lately of Baltimore,
advanced to the all-Maryland final last
year, where he was defeated by the
present champion, Fred Hamilton of
Cumberland. The other is the Rey.
Clarence Dawson, pastor of the First
Methodist Protestant Church, who won
the Cecil County. Md, championship
last year. Both became Washingtonians
less than a month ago.
Neither the Rev. Dawson nor Gour-
venec has chosen the preliminary in
which he will compete. One will be
held on every playground in Washing
ton.
COME of Washington's best pitchers,
y members of the Vie Sport Shop
,. team. will battle the Gettysburg,

ment lot courts The visitors ace is

vania.
Brooke Grubb. chairman of the Silver
Spring tournament in which more than
100 are expected to compete, will start
action next Thursday, the early date
having been arranged to permit many
of the townsmen to attend the Mary
land National Guard encampment at
Camp Richie.

w opened yesterday in the National
- Training School tournament. News
reel pictures were taken.

for top honors for the last two years,
Is on the road with circus. but hopes
to be back in time to try again. Crane
is sleight of hand specialist but can't
make the stuff work witllshorSeshoeS.
Joe Merryman of Bladensburg and
Roy Wilson CT Washington are becom-
ing downright fancy. Merryman blind
folded can beat most of his neighbors.
Wilson's pet trick is to cover the peg
with his hat and toss a ringer under
it., In a confident mood the other day,
he essayed the trick with a criSpy new
straw lid. He got the ringer right
enough, but through the crown!
T oUDoUN COUNTY pitchers are
~ hopeful of carrying off the Northern
~ Virginia laurel. Town Journeys will
be held at Leesburg. Round Hill, Pur-
cellville, Ashburn, Hamilton and Lovetts-
vile under the general direction of Mrs.
Grace Popkins of Purcellville
Loudoun did well in he tournament
last year, with j. D. Edmonston, high
school student, and his father, S. P,
both of Purcellville, representing the
county in the Virginia finals at Bar
croft. They, along with Maurice Cooper
and Edgar Etcher Of Leesburg, winner
and runner-up the preceding year, are
