Plan Skeet Center, Here.


TT Is the plan Of the National
Capital Club to have Washington
made the national headquarters
for skeet, with national champion
ship here each year.
The present National Capital Skeet
Club was formed early this year
through a merger of the Montgomery
Skeet Club and the skeet section of
the District of Columbia Chapter of
the Izaak Walton League
The Fleming Newbold farm, about
3 miles west of Bethesda, was taken
over and equipment installed. Shoots
have been held there regularly each
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
The membership of the club is ap-
proximately 140.

ALL HAVE STUFF
TO WORRY STARS
Luck of Draw May Have Lot
to Do With How Far
They Progress.
BY w. Il. McCALLUM.

LONG about September 4 or
" some five young golfers will
n shake the dust of the Capital
from their brogans and depart
for Brookline, Mass, and the great
adventure of every amateur golfer
the national simon-pure champion
ship. Five linksmen from Washington
qualified last Tuesday for the first
all match-play tourney ever staged by
the United States Golf Association
Who among the five may go some
where in the national? What will
they do on championship golf course?
In the first place, the luck of the
draw will have a good deal to do
with the progress Of the local lads.
At present it looks as if the U. S. G. A.
will have to make a blind draw by
putting the names of the 180-odd
contestants in a hat and drawing
them out. This system may put stars
like Lawson Little. George Dunlap,
Gus Moreland, Francis Ouimet, or the
two Johns, Fisher and Goodman
smack up against one of the Washing
ton hopefuls in the opening round
or two. And 1t isn't beyong the
bounds of reason that one Of the
local lads may do bit Of giant kill
ing, If such Is the case. Nor Is 1t
improbable that one or two Of them
may draw a first round bye, neces-
sary to bring the field down to the
requisite number for the second round.
Course Not Unusually Tough.
n RooKLINE itself is not such a
n tough layout. 1t is no harder
for q good golfer to play than
was Five Farms last Tuesday If it
is fast "a circumstance not unlikely
1t can become fairly easy. If it is
slow, 1t will become slugger's course.
But the Brookline of 1922, when that
course last saw the amateur champ
ionship, was no tough golf course. It
is the same layout on which George
Dunlap scored dizzy 66 two years
ago in the Walker Cup matches, and
you can look for some more scores
just like that in the match play
rounds this year.

what he has done around Washington,
may 60 very well at Brookline if he
can keep those booming tee shots
straight down the alley. Vinson does
not play tight course exceedingly
we'll A course that is tight from the
tee doesn't appeal to the lashing Mis-
sissippian, but despite his unfamil-
iarity with bent greens he manages
to putt fairly well. A kid like Billy
Dettweiler. far more seasoned COM
petitor than the 14-year-old Billy
who qualified at Five Farms in 1882,
can 60 well at Brookline. Billy is very
accurate with the pitching tools and
is bold putter. But of all the local
qualifiers John Shorey. provided he is
hitting the ball well, may cause some
trouble. John has the faculty of gear
ing his game up for bigtime COM
petition and no man around Wash
ington is handler with the mashie-
niblick than the former boy wonder"

"A YEWPORT, r. l., August 25.-
nj Yankee of Boston, the under

but that she has had the short end
of all the breaks Of the game so far.
Weetamoe, a smart and lively con-

a disappointment, but recent improve

where unprecedented observers believe
with half chance she would be up

|SUB-PAR FINISH
 WINS L. A. OPEN FOR MAC SMITH
NOnchaIanCe of Winner is Amazing as He Posts
 Rounds of 69 and 68
BY VINCENT MAHONEY United Press Stan Correspondent

Los Angeles, Jan 9.-CUP)-"A comer," they called him when the gawky Scotch youth tied for the United States open at Philadelphia in 1910.
 Macdonald Smith was still com ing to-day, 20 years later, with his fourth ,os Angeles open golf cham pionship tucked away by a safe five strokes or more.
 The old professor, looking as if he'd absently left his spectacles behind, rugged sedately around the difficult Los Angeles Country club layout yesterday, swinging with lazy certainty to put together two bril- liant rounds of 69 and G8 to break the field wide apart.
 When he started the afternoon round, he was tied with Paul Rum van of White Plains, N. r., and Bill Mehlhorn of Louisville, Ky, and one stroke behind Olin Dutra of Santa Monica, Cal.
 Rivals "BIow"
 When he walked off the 18th green with his 60, he had broken par under bitter last-round pres- sure while Dutra, Runyan and Mehlhorn were cracking open to take 79, 7S, and 76 respectively.
 His reaction was characteristic. Presented with a chec kfor $1,463, 0 ceremony at which his younger |colleagues have been known to turn handsprings, tho old gentleman yawned and said, "Thank you very much; think I'll turn in. I'm not as young as was," and tottered off to bed.
 Second place remained undecid- ed, pending two-hole finish by George Won Elm and Willie Hun- ter of Los Angeles. Darkness over- took them yesterday at the 17th tee and they picked up. Won Elm needed two par fours for 6 287 and second place. Hunter needed fours for 0 288.
 Pending their playoff, Mehlhorn was tentatively in second place with 2S8, Willie Goggin of San Fran cisco and John Revolta of MiIwau- kee tied for third with 289.

 PLANS UPSET

Columbus, Ohio --- CUP. )--- The lncligibility of n tall, ambldextrous fellow named Bill Hoskct has dark - ened Ohio Stato Unlversity's hopes of retaining tho Western Confer oncc basketball championship 1t shared with Northwestern last win ter.
 Coach Harold Olsen, now in his 12th season at ohio State, has formed tho teams offense around Hoskets pivot position. After the first two games this season Hosket was declared scho- lastlcally ineligible for further intercollegiate competition.
 Tho loss of its veteran center left Ohio with only two players who wero regulars on last years championship outfit. Bobby Col burn, slippery forward, and Blll Beitner, n relatively short guard, will strengthen the team with their amazing speed.
 Fred Conrad. six feet, four inches tall, will replace Hosket. Conrad was Ohio's regular center two years ago and was a regular tackle on tho ohio football team for three years.
 Several players may alternate ns Colburn's running mate. Max Padlow, a junior, and Warren Whitllnger, Jim Froshwater and Hugh Hawley, all sophomores, have looked good in early games Jack Wilson, n leterman last season, is another possibility.
 For tho other guard position Olsen has Jerry Fisher, q veteran. and two soDhomores, Chester Wondt and Gcorfge Rhodes. Pad. low may be shifted to a guard position.

In token of his appreciation for Jacks ef- fort, his captani, Ed Mclean is having Q Scotch scroll of rubber made up which will be presented to Murph this week, Mac making the presentation speech assisted by Johnny DeVito.
 Charlie Gerillo with 359 nosed out Bennah Goldstein for high inc dividual three string prize by one pin. We think Charlie is on the way to roll some more of those sensational scores he is noted for. Other winners were Morlarty and Potter tied for high team total with 1565; Dick Hyland and Walter Nell son tied for high kicker with 300; Klobedanz, Dodds and Synnott tied for low kicker with 200d an Johnny DeVitO carrying away the attendance prize.
 At meeting of the organization committee 1t was decided that no more substitutes would be allowed on the teams where 6 regular bowler is absent. Instead, in cases where 6 bowler is absent, score of five points less than his present average will be used. This rule be- comes effective at once and was passed for the best interests of the league.
 Until tomorrow night so long.
