There are Is such "floaters"
and their scores will not affect
the places allotted each district.
The intentions of the U. S. G. A.
aren't quite clear as regards
these "floaters." In some golf
quarters, it is taken for granted.
that they are to be considered
as qualified if they turn in
scores equal or lower than quail
flying scores in their adopted dis
trictS. Others say they are to
be considered as qualified if
their scores in adopted districts
are equal to or lower than quail
flying scores in their own dis
trictS.
Two Try Elsewhere
Two local golfers have chosen
two other districts. Charles
Mackall, of Chevy Chase Club,
is entered in the Cleveland field
and Dick Lunn, of Burning Tree
and Chevy Chase, will attempt
to qualify in the Boston zone.
There are already 159 definite
qualifying places for the big anna
teur parade which starts Septem-
ber II over the Five Farms course
of the Baltimore Country Club.
OF this number, $50 are to quail
ify outright while nine are ex-
ampted. Those exempted are the
defending champion, Francis Oui-
met and the eight visiting Bri-
ish Walked Cup players. However,
with likely additions from the
"floaters," perhaps upwards of
ITO will be on hand for the start
of the championship.
Protects TOpnOtchers
The U. S. G. A. has also pro-
tected the topnotchers, as evi-
denced by the allotment of two
places to st. Paul, though but
five are entered. This was to pro-
tect Lester Bolstad and Harrison
Johnston, jr., the 1929 amateur
titalist, who are entered in the
st. Paul section.
Last year. Don Moe, Pacific
Coast star, and accepted as one
of the leading five amateurs,
failed to qualify from the Port
land, Ore, section. There was
but a handful of entries, and.
since the places were based on
the number of entries, Portland
was given two places. He may be
spared this year by the protective
system.
Harry G. Pitt, Maury Nee, Der
mott Nee, all of Manor Club, and
Miller B. Stevinson and Tommy

turned in 35, after an outward 43.

MOORE FACES
HOFME|STER
By GINO SINH

The Womens District tennis
singles crown is due for a stay
out of town according to the
dope-sheets, for Sara Moore, fair
D. c. sensation of the year, is
conceded only remote chance
of stopping Louise Hofmeister,
Chicago wizard, in the finals at
Columbia Country Club today.
However, the local lasSie had
close to the same odds against
her prior to her recent victories
over Frances Walker and Ruth
Martinez. The experts just
couldn't visualize a tiumph for
her in either of those two
matches, but that didn't seem to
worry her.
Veteran Player
The Chicago star is a veteran
of many tournaments and
matches with national ranking
stars, and possesses a well-Sea-
soned and highly efficient all
around game. Only the best in
the country have been able to
take her maSure.
Miss Moore has an opportunity
not only to save Washington its
most coveted feminine net crowd,
but to gain national attention as
we'll.
Because of her past perform
ances, the dopesters are trimming
their predictions, hedging them
with many Ifs" lands" and
butts" but all concede the Chi
cagoan a fair edge.
Crucial Doubles
Doubles competition reaches it's
crucial stage today with the de-
Tending queens, Frances Walker
and Ruth Martinez, crashing into
the two hard.Smacking Tabler
sisters, Clara and Amy. and
Louise Hofmeister and Marion
Butler tusSle with Helne Philpitt
and Mary Ryan in the semi-finals.
Both matches are tosS-ups.
Snappy scuffling will mark the
mixed doubles event, too, in which
four combinations, listing leading
men and women in the city
clash. Mrs Martinez and Fred
Sendel oppose Frances Walker
and Dick Mason in a tilt which
should produce some brilliant
tennis.

SEES DAVIS CUP
GO To ENGLAND.

PLYMOUTH, Mass, Aug. 6.
Big Bill Tilden gazed across
the blue Atlantic today and be-
held a vision.
Uncle Sans ace of tennis play
erS saw the British lion winning
the Davis Cup from France next
year. Standing not far from his
toric Plymouth Rock, landing of
the Pilgrims, lanky, sun-tanned
William T. I'd, sounded the note
which will jar American dreams
of supremacy in the tennis world
in 1888.
Yet the worlds champion
among professionals put the word
doubt" in his statement, leav-
ing just glimmer of hope for
the netmen of Uncle Sam.
DO you think we will get
the Davis Cup back this year?"
Tilden was asked.
Looking straight ahead toward
the ocean. white caps dancing in
the sunshine. Tilden replied to
the question, saying:
II rather doubt it; 1 think
England is the better choice"
Tilden made it clear he did not
want to appear in the light of a
severe critic or "crepe hanger. j."
His was an honest opinion, and
he expressed it.
The famous Davis mug, emble-
matte for 80 years of amateur
tennis supremacy of the world,
was retained by France this year.
But Jean Borotra, the Bounding
Basque" suggested that he was
getting old and his French team
mates, Henri Cochet and jacques
Brugnon, are veterans. This
raised the hope that the younger
generation of net luminaries wear
ing the Stars and Stripes might
batter down foreign opposition
next year.
Ellsworth Vines, who lost to
Borotra when unnerved in his
first Davis Cup competition; Fran
els K. Shields, John Van Ryn and
Wilmer Allison were Uncle Sam S
Davis Cup players this year.
Benny Austin, Fred Perry and
Hughes were the Englishmen.
Tilden, for a decade ranking
amateur tennis player in the
United States, thinks it quite
all right" for Americans to play
at Wimbledon before the final
and challenge round in France.
personally" he added, It
would suggest the Americans also
play the French championships"

Leon WhittOck Stars
In Manu- SPORTS

Leon Whittock, mite football
and baseball star at Temple Uni
versity, is also the best pole
vaulter in college, but he prefers
the diamond game to track. In
high school Whittock established
a record of 13 feet 2 inches.
There is no enjoyment in
track" WhittOck says in Civ
ing his reason for not joining
the cinderpath squad. "Of
course there is a thrill in being
able to go IL or 13 feet in the
air, but baseball appeals to me
more and 1 wouldn't want to
give up the game"
Whittock, first string catcher
for two years, topped the team in
batting last spring with a 1852
average.

They came over to the Ameri-
can section today to get a look
at Bill Carr and Ben Eastman
and found the most embarrassed
athletes in the village.
Thank you, sir, that's very
kind of you"
That was the bluShing reply of
the little champion of the 400
meters. Carr, of the University Of
Pennsylvania, to the enthusiastic
praise of his foreign admirers.
Eastman Praises Carr
The tall, bespectacled Eastman,
who ran the 400" in 46.4 sec
onds, siX-tenths of a second under
the worlds record and one and
two-tenths seconds under the
Olympic record-only to finish
second, said:
"Ah, shucks, Bills a great
runner. You can't beat him.
All, shuckS, I ran the best
could"
Carr, coming not much above
Eastman's elbow, but a trim,
strongly muscled, deeply tanned,
human speed machine, took his
plaudits with dignity and grace.
as befits a young gentleman from
Arkansas, his home. He declared:
"It was a fine race and I'm
glad-and lucky-tO win. Ben

opponent and it's too bad both

tricks in running the race
just set my pace and held it
and it was fast enough, that's

His pace fortunately" was
only eight-tenths of a second un-
der the worlds record.
Laurels For Wilson, Too
However. both Eastman and
Carr and the village population
paid respects to another 400"
finalist, Alex Wilson, the Notre
Dame University student, wear
ing the colors of Canada.
He took third in the binding
400" in Ala seconds, two-tenths
of a second under the Olympic
mark "a performance which
marked him as one of the iron
men" of the games, for but two
days ago he raced shoulder to
shoulder with Tom Hampson, of
Great Britain, when the great
invader smashed the worlds 300
meter mark, Wilson losing by but
a stride and also being under
worlds record time.

intended to bring athletics into
the category they occupied
quarter of century ago, that is,

that academic men, who are now
taking an active part in remaking

That the larger and wealthier

Your Health and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

It would be perfectly natural
for twins, during childhood, to
have the same contagious dis
eases at the same time. They
are likely to be together great
deal so that they are exposed
simultaneously. The records
show such results over and over
again. Thus there is noted for
one pair. Both children have
had chickenpox, pneumonia
and Whooping cough. A has
had scarlet fever and B has had
diphtheria."
The only notable thing about
that record is that both had
pneumonia, which is generally
supposed to be due less to ex-
posure than to other factors.
The fact that one twin had
scarlet fever and the other did
not tends to confirm the gen.
orally held belief that scarlet
fever is not very contagious.
Later in life the diseases likely
to afflict people are not conta-
gious. The question arises to
what extent they are due to
hereditary influences and how
much to differences in environ
ment. Studies of twins should
be of great value in calculating
such problems.
Unfortunately, we have not
much data along this line.
There are several reports of
diabetes occurring simultane-
ously in twins. This is interest
ing because it is supposed by
many physicians that diabetes
is caused by factors concerned

and so nearly at the same time

Another instance in younger
twins is that of boy aged Is

experimenting he found his twin
