D. c. GR|DDERS
|NF|NAL PLAY

Sandlot fans are offered va
riety of sports tomorrow. The
attraction that will probably out
draw the rest of the events. is the
Mercury Palace football grudge
battle at Silver Spring gridiron at
2:30. .
The contest is not only. a
grudge battle-it's for the cham
pionship of southwest Washing
ton and it is for the benefit Of
injured grid players Of both
clubs.
Manager Webster. of the Mer-
curry gridmen, points out that his
aggregation has three sets of
brothers. They are Wilver broth
ers, both tacklers and been with
the team for the past 10 years;
Limerick brothers and the Lewis
brothers.
Jake, Lewis was all-high quar-.
terback when he played with
Business High School eleven sew
eral years ago. His kid brother,
Lave, is playing his 1ISb season.
Many Brothers
The Palace gridders are one
step ahead of the Mercs in mat
ter of brothers. They have four
sets of brothers. Here they are:
r. and E. Healy, Mike and John
Scalon, Frank and Bill Tonker,
and Tukett and Billy Regan.
The Mercurys won the 1880
unlimited championship CT the
Capital City League while the
Palace annexed the 150-pound
championship of the same league
this year.

SZABO INTENDS
TOEVEN SCORE

Sander Szabo, Hungarian grap-
pier, is determined to even the
score with Paul Scissors" Jones,
the Texas wrestler. The pair are
clashing Monday night in one of
the two feature matches of Pro
moter Joe Turner's card at the
Washington Auditorium.
About three weeks ago, Jones
pinned Szabo's shoulders to the
mat, the victory causing a stir
among fans. Now, the Hungarian
is avowed to turn the tables and
he'll hop into the ring Monday
night at the Auditorium with
that purpose in mind.
Swift action should abound in
this struggle as both are like
jack-rabbits, always skipping
about the ring without stopping
for a deep breath.
The Szabo-Jones bout will be
just one of the many interesting
bouts on the menu. Rivallng 1t
as a co-feature is the Cox-Jones
engagement which promises to
keep the fans warm. Additional
excitement should be. furnished

RECORD
BEST IN D. c.
1881 GOLF
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Golf in the District in 1881
produced but one dominating fig
ure, Harry G. Pitt, of the Manor
Club.
Pitt was far ahead of his COM
petitors in the local field, though
he gained no prominence in sec
tional championships.
After trying for years, the
Manor golfer finally crashed
through to seize the District anna.
teur championship for the first
time. That may be classed as his
most significant accomplishment
during 1881. but it wasn't.
Most Noteworthy Feat
Pitts most noteworthy perform
ance was his conquest of Billy
Howell, young Richmond, Va, SEN
sation, in the finals of the an
nual Columbia Country Club
tourney. Howell later winged his
way to national recognition by
his surprising play in the national
amateur, wherein he reached as
far as the semi-finals before losing
to the veteran, Francis Ouimet,
who succeeded to the throne lett
vacant by Bobby Jones.
Pitt also blazed through the
field in the Indian Spring tourna-
ment sweeping aside every op-
ponent in handy f; 5hion. He also
landed his own club champion
ship and was second to Bradley H.
Ted" Burrows in his own clubs
invitation tournament.
Failure to annex his own clubs s
invitation tournament was Pitts
biggest disappointment OF the
year. Some lay his loss to the
filming of Pitt putting on the
eleventh hole, alleging the camera
clicking and the soft voice OF the
announcer unnerved the Manor
ite. Pitt is too seasoned in tourna-
ment competition to be upset or
distracted. Pitt simply met a
golfer who was better than he on
that particular day and a stubborn
fighter who doesn't fold UP.
Best Among Women
Outstanding among the women
golfers were Mrs. Betty Palmer
Meckley, of the Indian Spring
Club and Mrs. j. Marvin Haynes,
of the Columbia Country Club
Mrs. Meckley retained her wom-
ems District championship by de-
feating Mrs. Haynes in nip-and
tuck struggle. Mrs. Haynes most
important victory was in the
Corby cup tournament.
The greatest golf spectacle OF
the local season was the first an
nual National Capital Open at the
Kenwood Country Club with
$2,550 as the purse. The foremost
pros competed with Willie Mac
farlane taking first money by vir
tue of his score of 214 for the 81
holes of competition.
Another attraction which drew
a large gallery was the appear
ance of Billy Burke, 1881 open
champion, and George Won Elm
runner-up, in an exhibition match
at Indian Spring. This pair de
feated J. Monro Hunter anc
George Diffenbaugh, the first de

District League, besides a victory
over Brad Mandley, Astor Clarke
and Jack Whalen in a round

Greatest Season
By GINo SIM

despite the brilliant achievements during the which
ended in the spring.
The Washington times., 1931-12-26

Gonzaga had the best football
team since the days when Ken
Simcndinger was in charge of
coaching at the Catholic institu-
tion. The Purple lost but one game
during the season and that was
to the crack Swaverly Prep eleven,
of Manassas, Va.
Four local high school elevens
were downed by Goazaga, namely
Business, Western. Central and
Eastern. Mitchell was angling for
a game with Tech for charity but
the Mckinley authorities were not
interested. This incident caused
considerable discussion and many
said that Tech was afraid of Cor
Zaga. Others said that Tech could
easily trim the Purple. Tho dis
cuSsions went to naught as the
game never came near materiallz-
ing.
Five gridmen of the Purple
stood out and were selected on the
Washington Times All-Prep team
They were Edward Quigley. Irving
Eppard. Ernest Viau and Joe
Mills.
Gonzaga's basketball team had
a banner season. defeating some
of the leading fives in Washington
and nearby.

achievement was a smashing vic
tory over Eastern High School five,

1t was Walter johnson, the old
pitching master, who manipu-
lated his relief throwers with ap-
parently the best Judgment as his
SOS pitchers won % games
while losing but 10. Connie Mack's
boxmen won 10 and lost six while
finishing contests. Boston came
third with 13 victories and 10 de-
feats. In fact, all the clubs with
the exception of st. Louis and
Detroit broke even or better in

st. Johns had a fair grid team,

The boys showed fight and
spirit. Mike Scanlon was the
outstanding player. The Cadets
were better in basketball and

Fine Season
st. Adams enjoyed the finest
sport year in the history of that
institution. Although the Saints
did not play the opponents that
Gonzaga and st. Johns tackled,
nevertheless they came out on
top against all opposition. The
tennis team was exceptionally
good.
Georgetown Prep had a fair
season in its sports. Dewitt was
not represented in anything.
Emerson had the worst year in
sports in many moons. The
teams faced difficult schedules
and lacked the material to carry

for Emerson, however. That was

to work, and looking for a job. In
this group there were 5.982 persons,
