These are the outstanding stars in the
tourney.
An l8-hole round at medal play will
open the event next Monday, with ID
holes more to follow on Tuesday. At
the close of Tuesdays round the first
80 and ties will be weeded out and
those will play SO holes on Wednesday,
the total score at 70 holes to count in
the championship. Preston believes the
method of playing the national open
championship is the best way of deter
mining a real champion and has
adopted this scheme for playing the
District public links title chase Need
less to say Burrows is a favorite to sue
cessfully defend his title.
THE new nine-hole course at East
i Potomac Park which has been
named course G., has relieved
much of the overcrowding at the other
layouts in the down-river park and, ac-
cording to officials of the Park Amuse-
ment Co., there is scarcely any waiting
for starting times nowadays, even on
busy days.
The new. course is on the short side
and is not severely trapped, but it is
better suited for play than the older
courses, because the green's are not dou-
laid out for play only in one direction.
The green's on the older courses were
built for play from two directions and
are hard TO pitch to on that account.
Mel Shorey, the East Potomac Park
set record for the new
course the other day, when he nego-
tiated the double circuit of the nine
hole course in 31-35-66.

USED OLD SPHERE
IN CANADIAN OPEN
Four Out of Five Forsook
Pill They Lauded to
Amateur Golfers.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ HICAGO, July IA (C.P.A) =
The writer is inclined to
~ believe some of our golf
professionals have been
kidding their public. Right along
many of them have been telling
John and Mrs. Duffer the larger
and lighter ball is just the thing
to make the game more enjoyable.
And then what happens?
The lads go up to Toronto, where
there is more freedom of the elbows, for
the Canadian open championship and
find our Northern neighborS. with their
customary liberality, are permitting the
use of both the old and new sized balls.
There was a rush on the club shop to
purchase a supply of the old balls. and
a ballot among the contestants showed
that four out of five were playing the
small ball in preference to the one now
standard in the United States.
Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour and
Johnny Farrell were just three of the
United States stars who went back to
the old ball. One who supported the
larger ball was Witty Cox. good old
Witty. who was a stoker on the bat
tleShip Nevada You didn't find Witty
throwing down the U. S. G.. A. and
neither did you find him among the
leaders at the finish of the champion
ship. that saw Walter Hagen and Percy
Alliss of Germany tie with a total of
282.
Haig Coming Back.
However Hagen does not believe use
of the old ball gave him many consider
able advantage. Perhaps it putted bit
better" declared the Haig, but did not
have the fairway lies I got at Inverness,
and I probably would have done as well
with the big ball" But the fact re-
mains Mr.. Hagen played the old one.
So perhaps the professionals really do
not like the large ball as much as they
would have YOU believe.
Hagen, who has been coming back on
his game III fine style over the past
month. has a great chance to win his
first championship in two years when
he meets AlliSS in the 36-hole play-of
at Mississauga today The Haig is play
ing from tee to green quite as we'll as
ever. but occasionally he encounters
putting troubles that were foreign to
him in his best years and loses out on
the rugs. Walter still is very formida-
BILE opponent in a hand-to-hand duel
and he will be good with champion
ship in sight
Alliss Fine Player.
He will meet a fine opponent in AL
liss who is perhaps the best of the
British professionals. Alliss was second
to Tommy Armour in the wagering be-
fore the United States open. but never
was able to get started. In Canada.
where the weather was cool, the fair
ways comfortably wide and the old ball
permissible, he performed like a cham
pion On the final nine holes he scored
a 80 to pick up six strokes and tie
Hagen, which was great performance.
Alliss is a compactly built fellow who
is fairly long off the tees and a real
star in getting the ball up to the green.
At times he is a great putter, and on
those days almost unbeatable. He
showed his putting skill on the first
round of the Canadian when he finished

C0NSIDINE, MANGAN
HOLD. TENNIS TITLE
Capture District Doubles Third
Time in a Row by Beating
Yeomans-Markey.

Bob Considine and Tom Mangan to-
day boast their third straight District
doubles tennis championship, having
vanquished Eddie Yeomans, new singles
title holder, and Bud Marley yesterday
at Columbia Country Club. The scores
were IS, 81, Ga. The win gave
Considine and Mangan permanent pos
session of the Dumbarton trophies
placed in competition in 1923.
In each set the champions gained fat
leads, faltered, and then rallied to win.
Mangan and Yeomans stole much of
the show. Yeomans conquered the
veteran to win the singles and plenty
of rivalry was in evidence yesterday
with Mangan holding the upper hand
Mangan and Considine have yet to
be beaten in doubles competition in
the Middle Atlantic section. They be-
gan playing together in 1928.

TWENTY GRAND is CHOICE

CHICAGO, July IA CP).-Twenty
Grand will go to the post favorite in
the $4,000 Arlington Classic Satur-
day, but A. C. Bostwick thinks his g.
year-old star, Mate, will give the big
bay all kinds of trouble, if not a beat
ing.
Mate, conqueror Of the Whitney
crack in the PreakneSs and winner of
the $4,000 American Derby, reached
Arlington Park yesterday and his
trainer. Jim Healy, said he had trained
perfectly for the worlds richest 3-year-
old event and would be a good bet for
another victory over Twenty Grand.
Mate doesn't like his races too
often" Healy. said, land think that
was the reason why he didn't do bet
ter in the Kentucky Derby. He was
little short in the American Derby and
only beat Pittsburgher by nose, but
this time he's right. And If we get
some mud Saturday, no one had bet
ter bet Twenty Grand will beat Mate"

with three birdie IS. To do that he
holed out with one putt on each OF the
three greens, and on the eighteenth
dropped 30-footer.
Should Alliss defeat Hagen 1t will
break the United States hold on the
Canadian open that has existed since
1919, when Douglas Edgar Of Atlanta
won at Hamilton. 1t also would be the
first victory Briton has scored in any
of the three major national open cham
pionshipS since 1928.

prospects of retaining the
Davis tennis cup this year.
No less a tennis authority than
Jean Borotra has expressed the opin-
ion that the tricolor probably will
lose the cup it has held since 1927.
Neither Henri Cochet nor Rene
Lacoste will have time to get into
f1rst-rate playing condition for the
battle-ground matches with either
the United States or Great Britain,
Borotra fears. Cochet, troubled by
illness all year. now is suffering from
an injured shoulder. Lacoste, al
though named captain of the French
team, is not expected to play.
In the meantime the United StateS
squad of Frank Shields, Sidney B.
Wood, George Lott and John

Britain, starting Thursday Shield
has completely recovered from the
knee injury that forced him to de-
fault to Wood in the singles finals

Milk and Crackers.

A study of the available facts con-
corning the provision of free milk and
cracker lunches in the elementary pub
lie schools produces a somewhat dis
turbing confusion regarding the actual
situation now existing and what steps,
If any, have been taken to remedy or
correct it.
1t will be recalled that during the
agitation for governmental appropria-
ton for the provision of free lunches
in the public schools, the superintend-
ent of schools on February 81 issued a
statement, showing that 1921 elemen-
tary school children were receiving
free lunches and that 1873 additional
children were in need and should re-
ceive them. The lunches" consisted of
d bottle of milk and some crackers.
on February 81 it was announced
that the Congress of Parents and
Teachers would assume responsibility
Tor providing the milk and crackers to
all the pupils who needed them in the
white schools, and the Federation OF
Parent-Teacher Associations would do
the same in the colored schools.
On March the superintendent OF
schools advised the Board of Education
that the field officers of the school svs-
tenn had been instructed to provide
free milk-and-cracker luncheons for all
needy pupils, with assurances that any
deficit incurred would be met. On
March IL the secretary Of the Board OF
Education wrote to all parent-teacher
associations requesting that each body
contribute as much as It could to a.
central relief" fund, to be administered
by the. pareut-teacher organizations
On March % the first assistant SUPER
intendent of schools reported that the
first two contributions to this fund had
been received. On the same day the
same official reported that every needy
pupil in the District is being given
free milk-and-cracker lunch" On the
same day a QUESTIONABLE, which was
not made public, was sent to all schools
asking whether every child was receiv-
ing the milk-and-cracker lunch, wheth-
er the parent-teacher organization of
the school could finance such lunches
and, If not, how much money was
needed. On April 8 the secretary of
the Board of Education announced that
the central relief fund had reached a
total of $3.50. On April IA it was re-
vealed that the results of the question
naire of March % showed that eight
white schools needed a total of 1891
and six colored schools needed a total
of s310.
One must admit that these various
transactions, thus recorded, created
some confusion as TO what is needed
BY the schools, what has been done
and what will be done. II 1873 chill
dren needed milk-and-cracker lunches
in the beginning. it would require, at
the current charge of twenty-five cents
a week per child, total of $343.25 q
week to feed them. In the interval
since then nearly $4,000 would have
been necessary. Reports show a total
of $4,000 so far received by the central
fund for the white schools and $1e9
for the colored schools.
Is it fact that every needy pupil
is being furnished with the milk-and-
cracker luncheon? Would not the
status Of the whole situation be cleared
by frank statement of what has been
done and what remains TO be done?

that his two-year stay with the BYRD
expedition at the South Pole counted
as time out of this country despite the
fact that it was an American scientific
adventure from first to last and the LAND
discovered was christened Little

Now he is in further difficulties. Al
