This 70 places him in a COM
manding lead for the qualifying
medal despite the fact that host
of stellar players, including Ro-
land Mackenzie, B. Warren, Cork
ran, Ernie Caldwell, Joseph P.
Lynch, the Georgetown U. Fresh
man star, will try to eclipse that
mark today.
The Manorite was four strokes
better than any other player in
yesterdays qualifying field, the
next being young Freddy Hitz,
of Chevy Chase Club and son
of Judge William Hitz, who
paired two 9-hole rounds Of 38
for 76.
NOrdlinger Scores u
Howard Nordlinger, the Wood
mont Club champion who doesn't
play in many tournaments, was
next best with 37-40, II. Nord-
linger is a fine golfer but never
gets the recognition due him be-
cause of his abstinence from
tournament competition.
Harry Pitt has captured the
Chevy Chase tournament three
years in a row, the only entrant
in the % years of the tourney to
win it three times. He placed
first in 1923, 1929 and 1880, but
was eliminated in the early
rounds last year.
ShOrey Not Entered
He appears the best in the cur
rent tourney, Notwithstanding
that Roland Mackenzie and D.
Clarke Corkran are entered.
Mackenzie has played but four or
five rounds of golf since his re-
turn to the Capital and was laid
up with grippe for nearly two
weeks. Then, too, Johnny Shorey,
easily one of this city's outstand-
ing golfers and conqueror of Pitt
in the Army and Navy Club finals,
is not entered.

The Modern Thing

This seems the modern thing
to do, in that most race tracks
have some device to inform the
public how goes the race.
Splendid races are run at Pim-
leo every spring and fall with
the public in the dark, many
actually not knowing how to
follow the horses in their mad
chaseS, many others not even
being familiar with the colors.
Quite a help it is to have an
experienced eye and mind and
voice booming out the tidings
as the steeds storm around the
oval particularly on Preakness
day, when comparatively few
can possibly have an unob-
Etructed view of events.
So many have spoken of this
Shortcoming at Pimlico that we
are under the impression an am
plifying arrangement at the his
toric Hilltop course would meet
with general acclaim, and that
Is why we mention it in the
same breath with the acclaim
which the Pimlico Charity Day
produced.

BROWN
To HURL FOR
JOHNSON
BY GARRETT WATERS

Maybe the Griffs aren't cussing
their luck. Yes, sir, they're doing
just that because of losses in
the last three days, costing them
the American League lead.
Maybe they're not cuSsing the
Browns. Yes, sir, they're doing
that too, for it has been these
same said Browns who have stop
ped them at a time when they
were in the best of winning
moods.
Maybe they're not cussing
everybody and everything today.
Yes, sir, they're doing that also,
Gosh, what situation!
Mr.. Phil Ball, distinguished
president of the Browns, must
have known something when he
sent your Uncle Clark Griffith
that now famous wire. At any
rate things have worked out like
he said they would, as his mes
sage went like this:
"YOur team is going great,
but wait until the Browns hit
town."
Mr.. Balls Browns certainly
have chit" since pulling into
town, but as known, the only real
hit they've made has been to
the satisfaction of Mr.. Ball, who
most certainly must be smiling
broadly these days as he sits in
his office way out in St. Louis
reading accounts of how his
team has taken" the Griffs.
Manager Johnson, today, is
naturally little perplexed over
the sudden reversal in form of
his gang. It's one of those things.
he says, but he adds he believes
the situation will take a turn for
the better in short while.
Wen have to get back into
winning form if those Yankees
are to be squelched," was his
comment this morning. II
think we'll snap on: of it be-
fore our losses become too seri-
GUS. certainly hope SO any
way"
Now that the Browns have
taken three games from his team,
johnson planned to call upon
Lefty Lloyd Brown today in an
effort to snatch one victory in
the series.
Brown was originally scheduled
to hurl one of the contests in to-
moToW's double-header against
the Yankees in New York. But
it'll be somebody else now, maybe y
Big Fred Marberry, who is still
being counted upon to become a
starter sometime soon.
Getting back to Brown, it'll be
up to Lloyd to get the Griffs out
of their losing slumber today. No
doubt if he wins tn do just this
for the Griffs, as they've Ger.
tainly been off form during the
past three days in the matter of
winning bah games.
An old teammate will pitch for
the Browns. Manager Bill Kille-
fer has nominated Irving (Bump)
Hadey. This veteran was de.
feated by the Philadelphia AS
in his last start about five days
ago. 1t is hoped for the Griffs'
cause that he'll run into trouble
again this afternoon. A triumph
certainly would get Manager
Johnson's men into the right
mood to tackle those powerful
Yankees beginning tomorrow, to
say the least.

Hallahan and Brandt, did the
pitching.
Big George Earnshaw, Of the

Free Milk an Item

During April. the mission
served 19,077 free meals. It
furnished beds to 2,230.
Among the work in which
the Volunteers engage is the
free distribution of milk to
needy children. Nearly 5000
quarts were so utilized during
the month of April. Demands
along this line will necessarily
increase during the warm
months, the item Of ice also
being added.
Scores of women 60 to the
mission each day to get huge
baskets of food, In addition,
workers go to the homes of the
unfortunate and give aid. More
than 2,434 families were so as.
sisted last month.

, Pitt toured the Chevy Chase

today because Of a downpour be.

A pigeon with bands around both legs has been giving residents of tho St Regis apartments on East Main street much cause for specu. iation during the last 10 days.
