MENTOR NAMES
NAVY TEAM

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 2.-Rip Mil
Ter has made a tentative selection
of the varsity team with which he
will start the season.
1t is: Left end, Capt. Hugh Muir.
ray; left tackle. Bill Brooks; left
guard, Johnny Shafer; center, Bob
Harbold; right guard, Dick Burns;
right tackle, Slade Cutter; right
end, Dave Miller; quarterback,
Buddy Slack; left half, Walter
("Red") Baumberger; right half,
Benny Walkup; fullback, Bill
Clark.
Eight Available
At the beginning of last year
the coaches had the use of two
players who were regulars the year
before. This season, eight of those
who started in the Army game are
available, with numerous other
seasoned players, some of whom
have at present the class over
players who had regular berths
last year.
On the line, only Shaffer, left
guard, and Cutter, right tackle,
did not hold down regular places
last season. Shaffer came to the
front during spring practice, but
is handicapped by lack of weight
and will have a fight to hold his
place. Cutter was substitute CEN
ter last year, making a great
showing in the games in which he
played, including the Army game
He was the Navy's unbeaten
heavyweight boxer last winter and
weighs 212 pounds.
Buddy Slack, quarterback, is the
only regular of last season at pres
ent picked for the backfield, but
Gordon Chung -Hoon and Fred
Berries, the regular halves of last
season, are still available. The
former missed most and the latter
all of spring practice, and Miller
was so pleased with the work of
Baumberger and Walkup that
they have been chosen for the
present.
Clark at FulIback
Bill Clark, who alternated with
Chung -Hoon last year, has been
moved to fullback, his natural po-
sition. A hard driver, the surest
man on the team for moderate
gain, and the squads best punter,
Clark is expected to be a highly
valuable part of the NaVy's Of
fence this season.
Chung-Hoon and Berries will
not be relegated to the rear with
out a fight, and one or both may
be holding down regular berthS
before the season has advanced
far.

JOHNSON FINES,
SUSPENDS STAR

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2-Trouble
which has been brewing for sew
eral weeks broke out in all its
fury between Oral Hildebrand,
pitcher, and Walter Johnson,
manager, of the Cleveland In,
dians, when the latter fined Hide
brand $100 and suspended him in
definitely yesterday.
Hildebrand, after hearing Of
his suspension, left for his home
in indianapolis, Ind.
The battle came to its head
Monday when Johnson removed
Hildebrand from the box after
the pitcher had exhibited streak
of WildnesS and loaded the bases
which ultimately gave the St.
Louis Browns a triumph for the
day.
Before leaving the box Hide.
brand had several words with
Johnson, kicked the dust and
threw his glove into the air. Wal
ter then fined him.
Later on, Hildebrand had more
words with johnson over the fine
and told his manager up and
down what he thought of him.
johnson tried to stop the en-
ragged pitcher but could not, so
therefore doled out the suspen-
sion along with the fine.
Hildebrand, so he says, expects
to return from his Indianapolis
home on Thursday for the pur-
pose of going into conclave with
Cleveland owners about his side
of the story.

That much, notably the part
about the "boyiSh seriousness"
may be hearsay. But this much
is clear: There ought to be a law.
Nothing can justify the system
of lawn tennis in America for
what it is doing to impression
able, sometimes unstable young
men who are unfortunate enough
to have the ability to attract its
attention. This is no more true
of what it did to Vines than
what it is doing and will do to
hundreds of others from middle
class homes who suddenly find
themselves leading life of ease
and refinement at exclusive clubs
and never fully recover.
Somewhere about the age of
80, they are given every chance
to recover, tennis no longer being
interested in them either as COM
petitorS or human beings. And
by that time. neither is life.

self. He wasn't through then and
he isn't yet. Like a great many
others, he's apparently waiting
for tennis to make his decision
for him, which it will very abrupt
ly do in a few years.
AS for Vines, the worst that
can be said is that the game
made a man of him before his
time it may even have made an
old man of him. When he col.
lapsed at Roland Garros Stadium,
not a few people felt that he
might never be the same again.
This possibility would be humor-

They say he meant to turn pro-
fessional in a few months if he
kept his worlds championship
intact at Wimbledon and in the
Davis Cup matches and something
of this sort may have preyed On
him mind. But it is doubtful if this
was comparable to strain he felt
in connection with the knowledge
that a nation of the Americans
were looking to him to bring back
the Davis Cup, strictly as an in

the very nature of things, tennis
is an emotional game. This nat

any invading competitor at !Au-
teuil, with it's violent atmosphere
and unfamiliar surface. That is,
an emotional man cannot play
his best tennis at Auteuil; where

really good tennis anywhere.
Vines himself attributes his col

a boy would do. But it is typi-

YOUNGSTERS OPEN YGROUND TENNIS
TONY LATONA
WON CROWN
3 TIMES
By GINO SINH

The most stupendous tennis
tournament in the history Of
Washington goes into the home
stretch today when the interplay
ground champions open play for
the city crown.
Nearly 1000 boys and girls par
ticipated in the preliminary
rounds for the right to represent
various Fairgrounds in the inter
playground finals.
This is the eleventh year of the
event.
The first year, 1923. only one
championship was contested, the
boys junior singles, and ByrneS
Curtis, of the now extinct Iowa
Avenue Fairgrounds, won it.
In 1927 a colored boys Junior
singles tournament was inaugu-
rated and Joseph Sewall gained
the crown.
Senior Event in '29
. Senior singles events for both
white and colored boys were in
cluded on the program in 1929
with Latona carrying off the white
boys diadem and Melvin Lancaster
the colored.
About the same time a girls
doubles tournament was initiated.
Latona, whose work as an in
Structor this year helped consider
ably in swelling the entry list, has
held three titles. He captured
the junior crown in 1928 as a rep
resentative from Corcoran play
ground, and in 1929 and 1880 he
won the senior championship,
playing for Georgetown.
Milton Baker twice won the
Junior laurels, and Morgan
CHappy'D Jacobs and Clyde
Smith held both the senior and
junior titles on successive years.
Gilbert Hunt, hailed as the Dis
trict leading junior player, and
Middle Atlantic boys and junior
champion, five times competed
for both the junior and senior
playground titles, but never sue
ceeded in grabbing a crown,
though he was a finalist several
times.
Boys at Chevy Chase
The boys interplayground final
matches will all be played on the
Chevy Chase courts.
The girls doubles matches, how
ever, will swing over a circuit of
the various Fairgrounds. Play is
expected to continue two weeks.
Happy" Jacob has been seeded
No. l in the senior test, with
Louis Chaplin of Corcoran; Ed
Pinkham, Burroughs, and Frank
Shaefer, Twin Oaks, seeded in
that order. Schaefer is rated the
most potent threat to Jacobs
supremacy.

Due to the peculiar of par on
the East Potomac course A and C,
over which today's 18 holes were
played, the course card of 36-37
is a misconception of the true par
OF the course. It really should be
33-35-68. This consideration gives
q better idea of the play of Will
and Rippy in today's 18 holes.
Will won his way in today's
championship tilt by registering
a rather surprising 3-up-and-2-
to-play victory, yesterday, over
the veteran public linkser, John
Downe, in an 18-hole match over
the East Potomac course. DoWney
was the favorite to win.
An even dozen stymieS marred
the Will-DoWney battle for the
right to clash today with Rippy,
who had moved into the cham
pionship match by virtue of a
clever win over John Baer, Cath
olic University student, in the
final 18-hole match of the Rock
Creek championship tourney.
The DetWeilers Win
Brother and sister, Billy and
Helen DettWeiler, of the Manor
Club, yesterday won the deciding
match of a series in which the
opposition was furnished by Vir-
ginia Pope and Harvey johnson,
Of the KenWood C. C.
Yesterdays match was played
at Kenwood and the final score
was four up and three to play.
In the first match, Miss Pope
and johnson surprised tie Dett-
weilers and defeated the latter.
This match was played at Ken
wood. Then the brother and SIS
ter duo took the second. This
match was played over the Manor
course.
Best Ball of II
The Dettweilers in yesterdays
match had best ball of 72, While
Billy'S card showed a IS.

TOURNEY

Harlan Will, champion of East
Potomac. was two up on Claude
Rippy, title-holder at Rock Creek,
at the end of the first 19 holes Of
their 36-hole District public links
championship match played today
over the East Potomac course.
All square going into the seven-
teenth tee Will won the last two
holes of the 18 when Rippys putt
ter failed to work.
Will got off to flying start on
the 283-yard first hole with
birdie three. He went to two up
when he won the third hole with
a par four against Rippy'S five,
Thereafter throughout the 18 the
burden of proof was on Rippy.
Play Erratic
Neither proved himself an op-
portunist as each gave his oppon-
ent numerous opportunities from
the fourth through the eighteenth
hole. The play of both title-con-
tenders was erratic in spots, and
today's golf was an admixture Of
poor, ordinary and excellent.
Will held his lead of two up
through the fifth hole. On the
sixth Will missed a short putt to
lose the hole and became one up,
On the seventh he did the same
thing and the match was all
square.
1t remained all square to the
tenth green. There Rippy was
timid with three-foot putt, Will
taking the hole with a par four,
to go one up.
At the eleventh hole, the East
Potomac champion went two up
again when he sunk a 1O-foot
putt. The Rock Creek champion
won the twelfth, when Will missed
a two-foot putt, thus making Will
one up at this point.
Halve Three Holes
They halved the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth, and the
match became all square. On the
sixteenth green, when Will missed
a short putt for a half.
