MUNY GOLFERS
IN MATCHPL

ST. PAUL, Aug. 6.-The con-
test over Keller Club course to
determine who is the best public
links golfer of America continued
today as the qualifiers began
match play.
At the end of yesterdays ses-
sion, 90 players had shot 1856 or
better to qualify. Eight others,
with 157. were forced to play off
for the last three places.
Meantime a quartet Of San
Francisco golfers were jubilant
over having annexed the annual
Harding cup trophy. The West
erners turned in an aggregate
score of 620. Indianapolis was
second with 624, st. Paul third
with 627 and Minneapolis fourth
with 628.
While the defending cham
pion and the record titlehOlder
of the field slumped badly,
David Mitchell, Of Indianapolis,
who had hard time getting
away from his job as pop corn
machine inspector to enter the
tournament, walked off with
the medal in the championship
yesterday.
Mitchell turned in a pair of
z4'S for a total of 148 for the SO
holes. One shot behind came
Charles Albertus, a printer from
Philadelphia. Arthur Sato, the
japanese boy from San Francisco,
shot $50.
Bob Wingate, Jacksonville, Fla,
the champion, and Karl Kauff-
man, Pittsburgh, who wore the
crown from 1927 to 1929, were
those who went into reverse. Win
gate had total of 158 for the
36-hole round, while Kaufman
could do no better than a 159.
This was the second time in
the history of the tourney that
the champion failed to qualify,
Lester Bolstad. of st. Paul, fail
ing to meet the requirements in
1927.

SLIGHT EDGE.
HELD BY
YOUTH
By GINO SINH

Only one more major tennis
event remains on the local net
calendar for the current season,
The Wardman Park Hotel invita-
ton tournament, but that tourna-
ment will play a major part in
this years big Ten" selection,
for both the men and women.
Dooly Mitchell and Eddie Yeo'
mans are more or less neck-and-
mech in their race for No. l honors
this season, with Yeomans hold
ing an infinitesimal edge as D. c.
champion. Mitchell, with the
City of Washington and the Pub
lie Parks crowns tucked away in
moth balls, must add the Ward
man Park bauble to overshadow
his younger rival.
Mitchell met unexpected defeat
in the D. C. championship at the
hands of Tom Markey. and this
set him back considerably.
ID. C. Titlist Has Edge
Great weight is given to the
winner of the D. c. championship
in making the annual selection.
hence the reason why Dooly must
assure his position by capturing
the Wardman event.
YeOmans has yet to bow be-
fore a local player this year,
but he has only appeared in the
ID. C. championships.
Mitchell has beaten each one
of the leading performers at
least once in either tournament
or league competition. But he
also took a beating at the hand
of several.
Has Busy Schedule
And so the Wardman tourna-
ment takes on added significance.
Dooly is a sure entry, but Eddie's
entry is problematical. He has
tied himself up in a round Of ma
tionally prominent tournaments
for the remainder of the season
and may not be able to slip the
purely local Wardman event in
his list.
Bob COnsidine, defending
champion, is conceded q meager
chance of successfully defend
ing his title. Bob hasn't been
taking his racqueteering seri-
Ously this event.
He VOWS that he will come back
better than ever in 1882, but
that has no bearing on the
present.
The situation which exists in
the mems ranks, is also found
among the women. Mrs. Ruth
Martinez and Frances Walker
are coming down the stretch side
by side. Miss Walker is the
Public Parks champion, having
defeated Mrs. Martinez for that
honor. But Mrs. Martinez won
the District championship. That
makes the Wardman Park event,
in which both are sure to partici-
nate. a play-off for No. / honors.
Mrs. Charles Stone, City of
washington champion, also looms
in the background. Assured No.
3. ranking on her present stand
ing, she may come in for top
i1onors should she take part in
Tie Wardman event.

On the recent Western trip,
Altrock went to the nearest golf
course and played at least nine
holes every morning. Nick is
an early riser and when the team
is at home, goes to Rock Greek
or Potomac Park for his daily
golf.
Celebrates Off Day
And Nick celebrates whenever
the Griffmen have an off day.
He spent practically the entire
day yesterday on the Indian
Spring course, where he played
81 holes.
Furthermore, Nick turned in
respectable scores for the long
Indian Spring course, par for
which is II, carding nine-hOle
rounds of Al, Ill and AZ.
Though a natural left-hander,
Nick plays golf right-hauded. He
leans to the opinion that left
handler. can make little headway
in golf, although there are sew
eral Southpaws who have mastered
the game. The best-knoWn of the
local left-hander golfers are
Tommy Bones of Columbia, and
w. Byrn Curtiss and Sam Rice
of Indian Spring. Rice is the
veteran outfielder of the Griff-
men.

EVEN SERIES

The Terminal nine eVened the
count at one-all in the play-off
for the second-half title in the
Industrial League yesterday when
it beat the Construction tossers
SO, by means Of a last inning
rally.
The twirlers both pitched ex-
Cellently, Lefty" Mcintyre CIV
ing 8 hits and Hoffman allow
ing five. 1t was the five bases
on balls that Hoffman pre-
Sented to the Terminals that
helped them along, but it took
Douglas sIashing triple and
doc" Dreifus' single in the
final frame to turn the tide Of
battle in the Terminals favor.
Base stealing by DreifuS and
RaineS helped to make the
game more interesting and to
make matters more difficult for
Hoffman.
Friday the final game of the
series will be played. A second
victory by the Terminals will
give them the decision in this
second half series. They were
to the Construction
eers in the first half this year, so
if they win tomorrow, another
three-game series will be required
to decide the all around cham
pion of the Industrial League.

DANGEROUS TYPE OF
OPPONENT
TX. OPPONENTS: THEIR
STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS
The most important thing on
a tennis court during a game
(beSides ourselves) is the OP-
PONENT. His strong points are
our dangers-his weak points,
our greatest asset. 1t, there
fore, behooves us at all times to
give him the deepest considera-
ton.
Not Realize
Too many younger, or less
experienced players, never
realize fully that such a thing
as an opponent exists. They
seem to befog themselves with
worry about their own game,
which generally, if left suffi-
GENTLY alone, will take care of
itself. Consider that an oppo-
nent is a problem which needs a
solution.
Go about that problem as
seriously as you do about the
play itself. Try to classify each
opponent in all your games.
Study his methods of doing
things.
Note what is done well, and
also the shots that are missed or
poorly played. Never, if you.
can help it, give an opponent a
shot that he likes.
The following are some of
the types Of opponents:
l. The "slam-bang" in.and-
out type-generally does not
like to play more than one or
two consecutive shots. Steadi-
ness will generally beat him.
Ignore his brilliant shots. Break
him through his impatience.
2. The steady, plOdding "get-
t h e ma ! Lback type. His
strength is making you drop to
his type Of game and then out
steadying You. Patience is your

of player. A steady, sure net
attack is effective, providing
errors are kept at q minimum.
8. The net rusher-continu-
Gus lobbying attack is the best
solution. Steady return of SER
vice is imperative. Play side
line shots and make him jump
thus wear him down. A
prominent weakness of this
type is a slow ball just over
the net, which drops at his
feet when he comes in. This
type will often beat himself
when against a player who
gets them all back"
4. The steady, aggressive, all
around player-the model for
all to follow.

On Job

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (CNA)-Six-
ty Negro plasterers organized in the
Union Mechanics Association, made a
demand for jobs upon the bosses who
hold the plastering contract on the
Jim crow YMCA now being built in
New York.
The leaders Of the Association
stated that they were not opposing
white workers, but were merely seek
ing opportunities for their members.
They demanded that so per cent of
the plasterers be drawn from their or
ganization.
These same Negro plasterers have
in those instances when they were
accepted in the A. F. of L. locals been
grossly Disseminated against. The
organization of the Association was
an attempt to escape from this dis
elimination of the American Fedora
ton of Labor Plasterers Union.
There is, however, no escape
through the organization of jim-crow
unions. The plasterers in the Asso-
citation can only command and de-
mand jobs within the Negro ghetto.

extremely limited. The solution OF
problems of this nature lie in the

S11,OOO,OO PROFITS ON WAGE
CUTS

Although reporting a drop in in
come Of 80 per cent, the Western
Union has nevertheless been able to
register a profit. For the first seven
months, ending July 33l, they show
a net operating income of 1859, 1886,
against s4,797 OCT for the same period
last year, but the savings affected
by them during the same seven
months amounted to $12,2S4,623, or
1877 per cent. Figuring all this out
their income dropped only $157, 1872.
Comparing this with their savings,
they make profit on savings alone
of over $11,00O,0oO. They state in
their report that the saving was due
to the adjustment of wages. Thus
do the capitalists make profits on
wage cuts. Note to that the West
ern Union gave their customary div
idends on stock of 50 due "to the
satisfaction of what the directors on
what the company has been able to
make and what it has been able to
save"
