The true golf caliber possessed
by Maury Fitzgerald, of Kenwood
Country Club, today had asserted
itself as the semifinals of the
Middle Atlantic amateur cham
pionship were being run off at the
Rolling Road Club course at
Catonsville, Md.
Fitzgerald has been known to
own the shots and a fine golf
swing, but something has always
blocked his path to the semi
finals or finals in major tourna-
ment.
He provided the feature upSets
in the first two rounds of the
Middle Atlantic event yesterday.
In the morning he eliminated G.
P. Mallonee, of Rolling Road, l
up in 20 holes, after being 3 down
with 3 to play. In the afternoon,
Fitzgerald won over Spencer
Overton, Hillendale Club, / up.
Spoon Shot Saves
A great spoon shot from the
rough after clubbing his drive
on the nineteenth saved Fitzger-
aid. Mallonee had placed his tee
shot within 20 feet of the cup,
but Fitzgerald's spoon shot left
him only 10 feet from the hole,
giving him a half. A great nib
lick shot second, eight feet from
the cup on the twentieth, per
mitted Fitzgerald to win the cup.
The two tourney favoriteS, Err
ME Caldwell, of Hillendale Club,
and defending champion and
Harry G. Pitt, of Manor advanced
to the semi-finals. Pitt spanked
John c. Shorey, of Kenwood, 4
and 8, in the morning and slaugh-
tered Charles Carroll, Rolling
Road, 9 and z, in the afternoon.
Caldwell eliminated Harris
Jones, Baltimore Country Club,
4 and 3, and Tom Belshe Indian
Spring 2 and l. Belshe defeated
B. Warren Corkran, veteran Balti
morean, 2 and l, in the first
round.
Mckee Advances
Craig Mckee, of Indian Spring,
reached the second round semi
finals with victories over Frank
Weller, Columbia, / up, and AL
London, Woodholme, 2 and l..
Leroy Sasscer, Indian Spring,
fell before Tom Symington, Glib
son Island, 3 and 2, in the
second round after defeating w.
w. Boatman, Rolling Road, 3
and 2. Symington had put away
Billy Dettweiler, Manor Club, 4
and 3.
E. J. Carver, Manor Club;
Franklin Parks, Congressional,
and H. Page Cornwell, Columbia,
all met defeat in the first round
of the third flight. c. A. Slater,
Columbia, entered the semifinals
of the fourth flight by winning
over Clarence Dodge. Columbia,
2 up, and r. Barker, Forest

tirely an item of the past, the
players today were once more
ready to settle down to the Sc.
rious business of winning ball
games, which in the Griff's case,
means the possible overhauling
of the New York Yanks for the
American League lead.
Standing pat for the remainder
of the season unless an addition
or two is made later by virtue OF
the waiver manner Of tranacting
business, the Griffs faced the be-
ginning of a long Western trip
today-a trip that can almost be
put down as the most important
the team has had in years.
20 Games on List
The schedule ahead, listing 20
games, can be said to be about as
tough as any contender would
want to face. Still, with the
team going great. the grind could
be made to look easy, but we
won't go into that until Manager
Cronin and his men have actually
made it look easy by their show
ing during the next three weeks
may success be theirs along the
rocky road!
First off, the pesky st. Louis
Browns are the foes. Yet, count
ing today's contest with these op-
ponents, the Griffs have four be-
fore they leave here, including a
double header tomorrow. The
next stop finds Cronin's boys at
Chicago for four games, while
Cleveland and Detroit are visited
next in that order for four and
five contests respectively with
each of these teams, concluding
the trip will be an important
stopover at New York where
Manager Joe McCarthy's New
York Yankees will be met in a
three-game series over July "A
double-header being played On the
holiday date.
Long Home Stand
And there you have the sched-
ule facing the Griffs from now
until they arrive home again for
a long stand at Griffith Stadium.
First place may be gained by
that time, then again it may
not. Time will tell.
One more exhibition game is
on the teams schedule before
this entire trip is ended, lest it
is forgotten. Next Tuesday Mil
waukee will be visited where the
Milwaukee brewers, of the Amerl-
can Association. will be met.
This date ordinarily would have
been used to play the st. Louis
Browns, but the latter graciously
moved up Tuesdays game to Mon
day in order that the Griffs could
keep in action without having to
idle unnecessarily.
Pitchers Ready
In this st. Louis series, Mana
ger Cronin, because of all the Off
day this week in the regular
schedule, has every member of
his veteran pitching staff ready
for service. Earl Whitehill was to
get the call for today's contest

128 AWAITING
STARTERS GUN

A field of 1913 long distance
runners today awaited the gun
to start the gruelling 15-mile
marathon from Mt. Vernon to
the Zero Milestone in the Ellipse
for the second annual national
A. A. U. championship. The start
will be made at 2 o'clock from
Mt. Vernon.
Attention was focused on the
struggle expected to be waged
between Leslie Pawson, of Paw
tucket. r. T., winner Of the 1888
Boston Marathon, and Dave
Komonen, of Toronto, who fin
ished second in the New England
running classic. PaWSon eStab-
lished new record for the Bos-
ton run, negotiating the 26 miles
in 2 hours and 81 minutes.
Komonen. q former short-dis-
tance sprinter, has turned in
many notable performances dur
ing the past three years.
The famed Monarch Club of
Toronto, winner of the team
title last year, was a top-heavy
favorite to triumph in today's
race. Komonen will lead the
clubs entry, which is augmented
by Percy Wyer, Jim Bartlett
and Ronald Nayne. Another
Toronto boy, Dick Wilding, of
the Silverthorne Club, loomed
as a dark horse.
Clyde Martak, of Baltimore,
defending champion, also was
considered one Of the strong
colmpetitorS.
