. FOR STEELE

Don De Laun, the Canadian
heavyweight wrestler who t s
Ray Steele in the top bout of
Promoter Joe Turner's card ct
the Clark Griffith Stadium on
Wednesday night, will make mat
ters interesting for Steele. De-
Laun is ranked with the tough
est in the game and will give
Mr.. Steele no end of worry.
Steele is getting on firm foot
ing here. and local fans are be-
ginning to appreciate his style of
wrestling. That he is powerful
can't be denied, as he proved his
strength by tossing Tiny Roebuck,
who outweighed Steele by 81
pounds.
George Zaharias, the Chicago
"bad man." has been booked to
face Milo Steinborn in one of
the preliminaries to the Steele
De Laun conflict. Tom Draak,
who made George Godfrey quit,
will most likely take on Chief
White Feather, who crushed I'll

nine up against the Swami Serv-

OLYMPIC ACE

Ray Ruddy, New York Athletic
Club great swimmer, who tomor-
row strives for his fourth con-
Secutive Presidents Cup three
mile swim victory, scored many
valuable points for the United
States at the Olympics at Am
Sterdam in 1923.
His outstanding feat was fin
iShing third in the 1,5OO-meter
race, which was won by A-ne
Borg, the great Swedish mer-
man.. Borg established new
Olympic mark in winning.
Ruddy, despite his fine record,
is not favored to win tomorrow,
for Wally Spence, another N. Y.

the four-mile national title swim
at Brooklyn by big margin.
The race starts at 3 o'clock
over a triangular course, just
above Key Bridge, in front of the

Baseball League, but only one
The results:
Spengler Post Midgets, 2; Won
der Bread, Go innings.
Pontiacs, S; Clarendon Junior
Midgets, 3.
Senator Peewees, 8; Joe Ku-
hels, 4.
Peewee Championship
The Peewee championship was
the only one decided. the Sen
ators annexing the honor, but the
Midget and Junior Midget cham
pionships still are in doubt. The
Midget title will be decided to-
morrow at l o'clock on the West
EIlipse diamond, while the Junior
Midget crown will be decided Mon
day unless the protest of the Clar-
endon team is allowed. The Clar-
endonS won the first game Of
a scheduled three-game series on
Wednesday.
H. D. Smith, manager of the
Clarendons, filed a formal pro
test today, charging that the Pom
tiacs had used an ineligible
player yesterday.
The Spengler Post Wonder
Bread game was one of the best
staged by local sandlot teams
this year. The Wonders got away
to a tWo-run lead in the third
inning and went into the ninth
with that margin and an ap-
parent victory in their hands.
However, at that stage, CORN
ley, Spengler catcher, opened
his teams half with sizzling
single. Manager Jim Hayre
then Put Hawkins. a streak of
creased lightning, ON the paths
for GOrmley, and he immedi-
ately stole second, standing up.
The Wonder Bread infield had
a temporary lapse and before
the third man was retired the
SpenglerS had knOtted the score.
The Wonders failed to score in
their half, and neither team
counted in the tenth. In the
eleventh the Spenglers pushed
over a marker with one down,
and then came the rain. After
waiting 20 minutes, Umpire Fitz-
gerald called the, game, and the
score reverted back to the tenth
frame
CulIinS Stars
Nickols, while holding the
Spenglers scoreless until the
ninth, allowed IL hits, while
Wiles, the Spengler, twirler, was
touched for 10 safeties. Cullins
was the individual star of the
game, making several spectacular
catches, driving in one of the
Spenglers' runs and being respon-
sible for the other by daring
base-running.
The Clarendon team got
away to a One-run lead against
the POntiacS in the second
inning, and again assumed q
One-run lead when the POnt-
tiacs knOtted the count in the
sixth. In the eighth, however,
the POntiacS scored three runs,
while in the ninth they counted
another. Clarendon made .
desperate ninth-iqning rally
but was unable to push over
more than one marker.
Burnett. Pontiac twirler, held
the Clarendons to five hits, while
the Pontiacs touched Howard
Preston and Tolford for eight
safeties. Not a single extra base
hit was recorded during the con-
test.
Stoneburner, Pontiac left fielder,
contributed the fielding feature,
snaring Jones liner with one
hand up against the stands.
The Senators had a compare
lively easy time defeating the
Joe KuhelS, and annexed the
Peewee championship, having
previously defeated the Knights
of Columbus Peewees, winners of
the third Peewee division.

D. c. NETMEN
FACE CRACK
ORIOLES
BY GINO SINH

Washington and Baltimore net
men will resume their almost
ageless court feud when the
sixth annual Paul Mention
Trophy matches are staged at
Potomac Park, at o'clock Sun
day. Only public parks players
are eligible to play.
Since these matches were in
augurated in 1926, Washington
has had its say every year but
1929. Last year the Washington
ians ran rough-shod over the
Oyster-shuckers,. seven matches
to two.
There is no real reason to be
lieve that the Capitalites will
not again humble their foes this
year, though the margin will be
a little closer.
Though two of WaShington'S Su-
perior performers are galavant-
ing around the country. the Dis
trict team is plenty potent. Ed
Yeomans is in Boston, where he
has participated unsuccesstully
in the national doubles, and BUD
Markey is visiting his home
folks at Indianapolis.
Mitchell at No. 1
Dooly Mitchell, District of Co
llimbia titleholder, and United
States finalist, will undoubtedly
be selected for the No. l post
with Frank Shore. Maurice O'Neill,
Gilbert Hunt, Allan Staubly, Tony
Latona and Barney Welsh con-
testing for the remaining five
! single assignments.
Should either YeOmans or
Markey take a notion to return
by Sunday, they will be pressed
into immediate service.
Markey and Yeomans are
chalked up as the No. l doubles,
being, among many things, Dis
trict Public Parks champions.
But Mitchell and Bill Buchanan,
Shore and Latona and Pat Deck
and Bill Seidell, will, most likely,
bear the three doubles burdens.
Orioles Doubles Strong
It is in the doubles where the
BaltimoreanS loom most strongly.
Nevertheless, the washington dou-
bleS are capable of whipping any
duo in these regions on occasions,
particularly the Shore-Latona COM
bine. These two have scored
many brilliant victories over lead
ing Middle Atlantic competitors.
The BaltimOreanS will depend
heavily on the veterans, Alex
Keiles, Elmer Rudy and Ed
ward La Fleur. Last year KeileS
took the measure Of Ed YeO-
mans and DOOly Mitchell, beat
ing Mitchell in this very test.
KeileS has not been as effective
this year, however.
The Oriole team is also greatly
weakened by the removal of Bob
Elliott, a Baltimore topnotcher of
long standing, to Washington
early this season. Elliott usually
received the No. position on the
Oriole team as his lot.
Sundays matches are the first
of two team battles with Balti-
more public park players. On
September 13 the annual Strauss
Cup series will be played, posi-
bly, at Henry Park. This is con-
sidered a bigger affair than the
Mention settos, 10 singles and five
doubles constituting the series.
washington won 8 to 7 last year.
Herb Shepard, prominent in
local net circles for years. is in
charge of the arrangements for
both matches. He is putting in
final nreparationS.

WASHINGTON,
0KENWOOD ON
SUNDAY

The preliminaries in The Times
golf driving championship at the
Washington Golf and Country
Club have been shifted to Sun
day afternoon at 4:30 O'clock. 1t
was formerly scheduled for Satur'
day but Ray j. Norman. acting
golf chairman at the club, de-
cfded the Sunday date would
draw more competitors.
KenwoOd PreIiminaries
The preliminaries at the Ken.
wood Club are also listed Sunday
afternoon, with the driving to be-
gin at 2:30 p. m. AL Houghton
will be in charge.
Preliminaries at the White
Flint Club are booked for to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The tests at White Flint, 10
Gated on the Rockville Pike, a
few miles beyond Bethesda,
were billed for last Saturday
but rain stepped in and forced
= p0StpOnment.
Albert E. Steinem. golf chair,
man at Woodmont, has definitely
set September 7 as the date for
the preliminaries at his club.
Indian Spring Joins
Indian Spring has also joined
the driving contest, but Harry
Kidwell, golf chairman, has not
decided upon a date. Kidwell
says it might be held in connec-
tion with the annual stag day
Wednesday, providing it doesnt !
interfere with the other events.
Army and Navy, Argyle and
Beaver Dam have finished
their preliminaries and, with
Washington, WOOdmOnt, White
Flint, Indian Spring and Ken
wood yet to run off their
trials, there will be eight clubs
represented in the finals on
Sunday, September 1S.
This response to the tourna.
ment reveals there Is consider
able interest in driving cham
pionship. The Washington Times
plans to make this driving cham.
pionship an annual affair, and
there is the prospect that more
clubs will take part next year.
Rules for Contest
Rules for the preliminaries call
for three drives allotted to each
contestant, with the total dis
tance of all three drives to de-
eide the winner. Each drive must
land safely in the 4airway, how
ever.
