tional Guard back in 1895, Colonel
Lyman. now risen to the rank of
colonel in the Marine Corps, the
most important of the rifle and
pistol shoots to be held in this
country this year got under way

The Leech Cup Match, one of
the three events scheduled, is the
Oldest National Rifle Association

international rifle match in 1874,
when Sir Leech presented the
cup for annual petition
among American shooters as a
tribute to Americas superb
craftsmanship.

6 FAIRGROUNDS
NARKSFALL

Future track and field greats,
to the number of 1000, are today
resting from their efforts of yes

Olympic Games were staged, flag
raising and all, in Central High

Athletes large and athletes

to the heavyweight division, con-
tinued the orgy of record break
ing began with the dawn of 1892
and cracked six marks in yester-
days event, the tenth annual
playground track and field meet.
The miracle of the day was
the order kept by the 1000 COM
petitors during the meet. A single
word from officials sufficed to
straighten out tangles of young
sters when it seemed impossible
to untangle them.
Rosedale's flag went to the
mast at the conclusion of the
meet as the winning nation"
Rosedale had a total of 35A
points. while Virginia enue
managed a gross of 2312 for Sec
ond place. Bancroft finished in
third with II points.
Johnny Asero, of Rosedale, un-
corked a final sprint in the half
mile, feature race of the day, to
take verdict by inches rom
Keither Morrison, of Hamilton.
This race, run in 2:10. was
thriller from start to finish. Fully
IS youngsters participated.
Probably the best track per-
formance of the day was turned
in by Owen Bromley. of George
town. when he ran the 70 yalds
in 7 3-5 seconds to clip two-fifths of
a second from the old record.
Earl Wheeler. of Edmonds, clipped
three-fifths of a second from the
old mark of 7 3-5 seconds for the
85-pound class 60-yard dash. AL
win McChesney ran the 100 in
10 2-5 seconds, thus clipping two
ftfths of a second from the old
mark in the unlimited class. Vic
De Stephan, also of Georgetown,
SKINNED over IA feet 9 inches in
the broad jump to set a fourth
record, while two Rosedale relay
teams set up new marks in the 44O
and $50 yard relay events, STEP
ping the 440 in At 2-5 and the $50
in the 1OO-pound class in 81 3-5
seconds.
The meeting was an exact rep
lica of the famed Olympic
games, victors being crowned with
the olive branch at the cere-
monies on the field.

HURLERS
.. WIN 20 T|LTS
IN SEASON
ByAuh;@ By

NEW YORK CITY, Aug. "a.
I am beginning to wonder if there
will be a 25-game pitcher in the
major leagues this season. BY
that I mean a pitcher who will
have Is victories to his credit
when the season closes. 1t is a
certainty that there will not be
a 30-game pitcher, as Lefty Grove
was last season, and it is going
to take plenty of stepping for any
of them to reach the quarter.
century mark.
Lefty Gomez of the Yankees has
the best chance to reach this fig
ure as these lines are written. He
was the first to score 20 victories
and if he can average about one
per week from now until the sea-
son closes he will make the grade.
We read frequently in the pre-
season dope that this or that
pitcher should be good for 20 or
25 victories in the season about
to start, but I can tell you it
takes lot of pitching to go that
high. Some of the greatest pitch
ers in the game find it difficult to
reach either of these figures.
WON 20 GAMES TWICE
Take Herb Peanock. for in
stance. Here is a pitcher who is
recognized as one of the greatest
of all time. Do you know that
just twice lin his long career in
the majors. Herb was able to win
20 games in a season. His top
mark was % when the Yankees
won the 1926 pennant. and in an
other season he won 81. Dolf Luque
once won 81 in a season, but in
no other year did he win more
than II. Sam Jones and Waite
Hoyt have peen great pitchers,
and with championship clubs, but
only twice has either been able
to win 20 games in season, and
% was the top mark for either
of them. Willie Sherdel. another
great pitcher, once won 2l games
in season. but in no other year
as a major Lacquer did he win
more than II.
1 mentioned these instances to
emphasize the difficulty of win
ming 20 games in a year. 1t seems
easy to think of a season extend
ing from middle April to the end
of September, but don't overlook
the fact that often a pitcher al
lows only two or three runs and
loses his game. Then he does not
get another chance to win for al
most week.
Errors Lose Game
Errors will lose one game for
him and weak hitting by his own
team will lose another. I lave
seen pitchers go a month without
pitching a poor game anu also
without winning one.
Wesley Ferrell, Lefty Grove and
Monte Weaver are the only pitch
erS besides Gomez who appear to
have a chance of winning 25
games this season and it is
hardly likely that all of them will
be able to do it. The season
closes four weeks from next Sun
day, which means that none OF
them will start more than five or
six games between now and clos
ing time. An error here, or some
light hitting there, will be enough
70 defeat them, and they cannot |
afford to lose any if they are to |
win 25.

CHUCK KOSC|S
YOUNGEST GOLF
QUAL|F|ER
By HARRY COSTELLO

Ans ering a number of queS-
tions anent the National ANA
teur golf championship:
Young william Detweiler. jr.,
of the Manor Club, is not the
youngest to qualify for the event.
So far as is known, the young.
est is Charles CChuck'D Koscis,
of Detroit, who qualified when he
was IA years of age and a first
year student in high school.
Bobby Jones' great shot in the
tournament of 1927 was on the
dog-leg ninth hole. 1t was played
in the morning round of the final
match against Chick" Evans.
Jones drive, a long one, just got
around the elbow Instead Of
using a brassie, he used a No. 2
iron. The green was mounted on
a high hill. some $50 feet above
where Jones' first lie. His Sec
ond stuck" and was about II
inches from the hole. The ninth
at Minikahda vas a par S. Jones
got 3. Many spectators, among
them Walter Hagen, said it was
COLTS greatest shot.
No Unusual Shots
We did not see the 1928 final.
Max MarSton won from Jess
SweetSer, ! up, 38 holes. Our
understanding has been that there
was not an unusual shot made on
the final hole. We have always
understood that Marston played
the hole in orthodox fashion while
Sweetser took an extra stroke.
The worst beating handed out
to the runner-Ip since 1910 was
in the 1923 event, at Brae Burn,
West Newton, Mass. Bobby Jones
trounced Thomas P. Tommy"
Perkins, 10 and 9. In the 1924
event, at Merton, Won Elm was
decidedly off his game and Jones
won the final, and 8. Jones'
medal was not unusually good.
The 1895 event went to C. B.
Macdonald, who defeated C. e.
Sands, IL and II. It was the
first national amateur, and was
played at the Newport (R. L.
Golf Club.
Watts Gum was runner-up at
