NJ WASHINGTON TIMES SPORTS
TEAM
FOR MATCH
MONDAY
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
The boys in the golf shop at
the Congressional Country Club
are all aflutter over their crucial
challenge match with the George
town University varsity team,
captained by Louis A. Fisher.
Some while aback, the Hilltop
perS flung a def at the assistant
pros and caddie masters and the
latter accepted without hesitation.
So the big match comes off Mon
day afternoon over the Congress
ional course.
The Congressional group, how
ever, found it necessary to draft
an amateur, M. Parker Nalon, to
round out a six-man team. The
GEORGETOWN boys didn't obpect to
this move which strengthens the
the Congressional side as Nolan is
one Of the low-handicap players
in the club.
The Congressional side will in
clude Archie Clark, Charlie
Penna, Claggett Stevens, Dick
Melvin, AL Clark and Nolan.
The Georgetown team will num-
ber Captain Fisher, Jack Slattery,
Joe DeStephano, Dick McPartlin
and Walter lyman.
Lynch Extends Pitt
Joseph P. Lynch, the George
town University freshman golfer,
gave Harry G. Pitt, of Manor
Club, and District amateur golf
champion. several headaches In
their first round match of the
Army and Navy Country Club in
vitation tournament. Pitt was
the winner, l up, after being 4
down at the turn.
Pitt, loosely playing the first
nine on which he counted AZ,
transformed his game on the Sec
ond nine to come home in 35
blows, one under par. Lynch,
who toured the first nine in 81,
was not as steady on the return
trip, taking 40.
The District champion forged
to the front at the seventeenth
by dropping a 30-foot putt for
q birdie two to place him one up.
They split the final hole in par
as, though Pitt was compelled
to lower a 12-foot putt to pre-
vent the match from going extra
holes.
Plays Great Shot
It was on this final hole that
Lynch played a masterful shot,
on which he staked everything.
His second shot slid off the green
to the left, leaving him in a
difficult position, while Pitt was
on safely. Young Lynch de-
liberated fully three minutes be-
fore dciding the club to use,
finally taking a mashie and in
tentionally playing to the back
of the green. The ball struck
the back and rolled backwards
to within a foot of the cup.
Pitts approach shot was weak,
but he hit the next one firmly
and accurately to end a brilliant
duel.

Lost Cool 100000

That-the Louisiana Jockey
Club, one of the oldest racing
associations in the South, Gre
ated a deficit of over 100000
as a result of its meetings last
January?
That-Jefferson Park, also in
New Orleans, threatens to dis
continue their meetings due to
heavy losses last winter?
That-rumors are afloat that
Tropical Park. at Coral Gables,
Fla, has gone into bank
ruptcy? Liens have been placed
on the property by contrac-
tors who helped to construct
the plant.
That-Lexington sustained a
loss of $4,000 as a result of
its ten-day meeting last month
and that the directors of the
club there have announced the
fall meeting has been declared
off?
That-race meetings at the
above mentioned course have
been conducted close on to a
hundred years?
That-there were as few as
TOO patrons present on one
racing day at Jamaica this
spring?

FOES
WATCH TEAM
CLOSELY
BY GARRETT WATERS

Having experienced two days Of
inactivity as far as actual games
are concerned, the Griffs were
rarin' and ready to go against
the Chicago White Sox today in
the first contest Of scheduled
three-game set.
Winners of their last six con-
secutive games, Manager john
sons men were hopeful Of adding
to their record this afternoon in
the idea of gaining more ground
in the league scramble If such
was possible.
The Griffs, by the way, get q
break on the schedule in that
while they are engaging the sup
posed lowly White Sox, the YankS
and AS (still figured danger
GUS contender) will be meeting
the two most improved teams Il
the league-the Detroit Tigers
and Cleveland Indians, respec'
lively.
Griffs Favored, Maybe
The advantageous part Of this
situation is this. The Indians and
Tigers are liable to give the
Yanks and AS quite a tussle dur
ing the next three days-even
more than the White Sox will give
the Griffs.
This means that any games won
by these Western clubs will aid
the Griffs in adding to their pres
ent lead-providing, of course,
they can sneak over triumphS
against the White Sox when the
Yanks and AS are losing-if they
lose.
Then again, there are the In
dians and Tigers to think about
in their respective battles to fur
ther advance in the race.
These teams, as well as the
Yanks and AS will profit by
triumphs if the Griffs fall before
the White SoX in that the Griffs
present lead will be reduced that
much more, and even overhauled
if they can win when the Griffs
lose.
Interest Three-FOld
So it seems interest in the race
will be three-fold for the next
three days because Of the close
ness of the going, not to mention
the Importance of winning for the
teams involved.
Prof. Monte Weaver has been
given the pitching assignment for
the Griffs today. The White Sox
are still uncertain who they will
start.
The ladies will be getting their
second "day" of the season, Incl
dentally. This should insure a
large crowd if not an enthusiastic
game.

Derby Day Profitable

That-purses at Church i'll
Downs, where the Kentucky
Derby is to be run tomorrow,
have been slashed because fewer
people are attending and those
who do attend are betting less
and less in the machines?
That-Derby Day is the only
day at the Downs when they
don't operate on the red?
That-and this doesn't con-
cern America because the track
is in Mexico, but it furnished
additional evidence of the down
ward swing in profits at race
tracks brought about by poor
patronage-the Aqua Caliente
Jockey Club suspended racing
Tor time last winter and that
the meeting was re-opened only
after the purses and stakes had
been cut in half?
That-employees at the above
track accepted a big slash in
salary and there is now some
doubt the track will operate
next winter?
That-and this is mentioned
to get the condition right under
the collective noses of the men,
bers of the committee-there
was a decided falling off in at
tendance at Bowie this spring,
the recent meeting being con-
Quoted at loss?
And too, that - the spring
meeting at St. Johns Park was
carried on at such a tremen-
douS loss outside interests were
forced to come to the rescue of
the club in order that racing be
continued the last four days of
the meeting?
Finally-that it is very doubt
ful if a race meeting is ever
staged at the above track
again?
Two million in taxes! Three
million in taxes!
How do they get that way?
Folks will simply stay away
from the tracks and wager with
bookmakerS who don't give the
State or Federal governments a
dime.
Phooie!

Accidents Cut
Derby Entries
to Mediocrity
By FRANK G. MENKE

LOUISVILLE, May 6.-Horse-
men here are today calling the
1882 Derby field "the most medi-
ocre in generation" This is be-
cause accidents, injuries or dismal
failures have forced out of the con-
test Top Flight, which was to
have starred; Burning Blaze, king
of the West; Universe, a new
hope of the East, and others that
once were reckoned to make this
fifty eighth Derby a terrific
struggle-an acid teSt-involving
the swifteSt 3-year-olds in America
Here is one tip-off:
c. H. Knebelkamp ran Hoops in
a claiming race at one mile yester'
day. Hoops was Derby eligible
but because of rank in-and-out
performance for several months
he was announced as out of the
classic. But he won yesterday
from a band of mediocre platers
in 1877 3-5-nice time-and now
Hoops, the claimer of yesterday,
will be sent out for the Derby
crown tomorrow.
John Healey, trainer for Mrs.
John Hay Whitney, said:
81 figure that Mrs. Whitney'S
entry-Stepenfetchit and Over
time-wilI run One-twO. 1t isn't
a boast about their greatness. 1t
merely is statement based on
very careful study of the field
they meet.
"The Derby is supposed to
bring together the greatest
3-year-OldS in the land. But
tragedy of one sort or another
has made this impossible. It
will be a horse race-but not a
test Of great horses. They all
have taken turns at beating
each other this season and last
season. There is no consistency
no stars to faScinate and to
DAZZLE" 1t is a good betting
race"
Tick On continues to be a IA
vorite at around to /, with Mrs.
j. H. Whitney'S entry second
choice IT 4 and the Bradley entry
at 6. It is certain that Burgoo
King will run for Bradley in the
Derby classic, but Brother Joe,
his stablemate, must show some
thing in workout today or sur
render his choice to race for
glory in the Bradley colors.
Universe Out
There is little chance that Uni
verse will face the starter. Eco
nomic hasn't worked satisfactorily
but will go regardless because his
owner, j. H. Loucheem, has
$1,000 bet against $4,000 in the
winter books on his colt to win
and Liberty Limited is now a
doubtful starter because of a
miserable workout.

Big Fortunes

The public was surprised to find that big capitalist who died recently had an estate amounting only to S8.500.0o0, nearly all of which will be needed for philanthropies specified in his will. leaving nothing for his family except such gifts as he had bestowed on them during his life He was big in- dustrial leader, with investments in many fields and place in the dreetorates of many great enterprises. It was expected that his fortune would be not less than S50.OO0.- 900. And that, as a matter of fact is what it would have been three years ago. His holdings were nearly all in securities. and these have shrunk to about one-fifth of their previous value.
 Here is a good indication of what has happened to hundreds of wealthy Americans in the last couple of years. All fortunes are shrunk, even those inactive ones that were invested in government bonds. There are no more "billionares." Henry Ford. who is believed to have about half his wealth deposited in savings banks, is probably in better shape than anyone else as long as the banks don't close. John D. Roeke- feller, if he ever had billion would prob- ably be worth today, at current values. only two or three hundred milions--on the level that dozens of men were in 1929.
 Vast wealth in individual hands is no longer a thing to be feared. The rich have lost, in proportion, more than the poor. Will they get it baek' If they do, the rest of us may expect to get ours back too.
