SUTTER MEETS
| BASSFORD, JR.

J NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 10
Cliff Sutter, holder of the inter
collegiate championship. will this
morning play his first-round
match with H. H. Bassford, jr.,
in the annual invitation tennis
tournament at the Newport Ca
Sino here.
This is the only opening-round
match that has not been played,
the other net performers going
through the first and second
rounds yesterday.
Sutter, who has been playing a
fine game recently, is picked to
go far in this tournament, which
has all the leading United States
stars and many top-notch foreign
performers. His match with Bass
ford today should be nothing
more than a tune-up for the stiff
encounters that are to come.
The playing of Ellsworth Vines.
national singles champion and
the recent conqueror of Henri
Cochet. called the greatest player
of today, in the second round,
had the spectators all excited.
Vines lost his first set to Arnold
w. Jones, of Providence. who
years ago was ranked among the
first 10 of the country. The score
was 7-9, and then Vines stepped
out and showed his real worth by
outbaSting his rival to win the
next two sets and match by 6-l,
60.
The favorites otherwise had
things all their own way in the
opening sessions. Henry cBun-
n.y. Austin. Davis Cup star Of
England; Wilmer Allison, sydney
B. Wood, George Lott, Frank
Shields, Johnny Van Ryn and
Gregory Mangin won without any
trouble.

REED FLOORED;
WINS VERDICT

Jimmy Reed, that clowning
boxer, clowned his way to an
other victory last night at Twin
City Arena.
He gained an unanimous de-
ciSion from Ray Collins of Erie,
Pa. The fans were we'll pleased
when the verdict was announced.
Reed was down twice for short
counts but was up before you
could say Jack Smith and gave
Collins a boxing lesson.
Tug Phillips won a hard fought
battle from Ray Bowen after
eight rounds of sizzling milling.
Joe CLANCY of Baltimore de-
feated Roy Kid Manley of Little
Rock, Ark. Roma Labona kayoed
Nick Stapetick in the third round.
Sailor Leonard of Boston and
Ears Bartfield of Macon, Ga,
drew.
Jimmy Reed defeated Ray Col
Inns; eight rounds.
Tug Phillips defeated Ray
Bowen; eight rounds.
Joe CLANCY defeated Kid Man
ley.
Roma Labona kayoed Nick
Stapetick; three rounds.

80 GOLFERS VIE
FOR D. {. TITLE
TODAY
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Today is a big day for anna
teur golfers of the District, Mary
land and Virginia.
Some 90 of them, 38 from the
District, are battling over the
Chevy Chase Club course for the
right to enter the National ANA
teur, which tournament will be
played September II to II over
the Five Farms course of the
Baltimore Country Club.
BY nightfall, 10 of today'S con-
teStants will have entered the
select circle of eligibles for
Americas amateur golf classic.
AS today's event got under way,
high hopes were held that no less
than 10 of the 19 positions will
go to representative of District
golf. It was forecast this morn
ing that a total of 156 strokes or
less, would be required for the
36-ho.e jaunt in order to qualify
for the National.
Greens in Shape
The green's we're in excellent
shape today as play started, but
fairWays were hard and fast, due
to lack of rains recently. Pecu-
liarly, ar<tteur golfers thrive on
fast courses while professionals
find hard fairWays decidedly re-
pulSiVe.
With 90 amateurs tramping
through 36 holes of play, it was
anticipated that late finishers
this afternoon will encounter
tricky greens.
In practice rounds yesterday a
number of contestants in today's
event played we'll enough to lend
added confidence for todays big
test. However, these sectional
trials have ever been a source Of
grief and worry to the amateur
player. and many who were
primely confident as they left
the first tee this morning we're
expected to fall by the Wayside
long before they reached the
final green late today
Everyone in the know seemed
to think that the battle for med
alist honorS was strictly a two
man affair involving Roland Mac
Kenzie, long listed as a national
contender, and Billy Howell, Of
Richmond The latter took the
gold medal last year when the
sectional trials were staged over
his home course, Hermitage.
Nee to Be Watched
More than ordinary interest
attached today to the play of
youthful Maurice Nee, hailed as
a prospective star. This young
Ster, said by several professionals
to be a stylist with potentialities,
has been particularly clever with
his putter of late, and if there
is any weakness which is glaring
in the play of American anna
teurs it is putting.
Some fears we're expressed for
Mackenzie. He recently under
went minor operation on his
throat and apparently has not
fully recovered.

rane, of the AS. His pitchers are
Warneke, of the Cubs, and Gomez,
of the YankS.
Bus has arranged "his team
in the following batting order:

AveriIl, CT. CrOnin, IS.
Klein, rf. Whitney, 3b.
FOxx, lb. Gomez, r.

Paramount in Bus reasons IS
the fact that he thinks that his
selections are all standouts in
their respective positions.
o. K, fans, there you have one
fellows views. How about yours?
Do you agree with Freed? Have
you better team in mind?
Come one, come all. The con,
test has begun in earnest now.

closely and use the coupon

range it.

He drew a bye in the first round
and easily trounced Gus Amster-
dam, of Philadelphia, in the
second round.
Barney Welch, also of Washing
ton. gained the second round Of
play by turning back Kasel
Peckoff, of Buffalo, in five thrill
ing sets.
Barney, trailing 40-15 in the
fourth set sand with two sets al
ready gone to his opponent,
staged a whirlwind rally which
swept him through the two final
sets and victory.
George O'Connell, of Chicago;
Theodore R. Drewes, St. Louis, and
Arnold Simons, Louisville, seeded
2, 3 and 4, advanced without
much trouble to the second round,

And Mr.. Freed's Good morn
ing" was in the form of a pic,
turesque blue envelope containing
his 1882 selections for the Babe
Ruth Team-batting order and
all.
It's a pretty good one, too, and
one which your contest editor be.
lieves has an excellent chance of
being the same as Ruth will pick
early next month.
Bus, by the way, has the honor
of being the first person to have
sent in a Babe Ruth Team this
year. Also Bus has sent in selec,
tionS every year the contest has
been held. and hopes this year
will be his year.
'T came nearest in 1891"
said Freed this morning. 1
had everybody Ruth picked
but George EarnShaw, as one of
my pitchers. Ruth had Brandt
along side of Grove, who, of
course. was unanimous choice.
I mean to try every year until
1 become successful. I'm hoping
my team this year is the win
ming One."
Freed has FoXx, Gehringer,
Cronin and Whitney as his in
field selections. In the outfield
he has picked O'Doul. of the
Brooklyn Dodgers: Chuck Klein,
of the Phillies, and Earl Averill,
of the Cleveland Indians. Behind
the bat, he names Mickey Coch-
