Builds for Pitch Shots.

T. Asst POTOMAC developed a fine
L. group Of shotmakers a decade
ago when such gents at George
Voigt, Harry Pitt, Al Houghton, Earl
McAleer and Page Hufty we're devel-
oping the golf games which have
raised them to local prominence in
the atmosphere of pars and brides.
They learned the game under condi-
tions which forced run-up shot, but
now the greens are to be built for
the pitching game. It's just another
symbol of the changing times, but it
will make for public links golf some
thing like the brand afforded at our
leading clubs, where the run-up is
not as popular as the pitch. In the
old days shot pitched to those
lightning fast green's at East Potomac
might go bounding over into the
Washington Channel, with the ball
ending at Norfolk or out at sea, but
that's all going to be changed. On
those new greens the lads will be able
to fling 'em up according TO the best
country club traditions.
Loef1er's driving range is the most
extravagant thing of its kind on dis
play around Washington. 1t will open
tomorrow night with all the fanfare
Of a new golf course opening and the
rotund concessionaire has provided
arclights for the gents who want to
wallop 'em at night. big signs to indi-
cate just how far a topped ball will
carry, and everything to make it COM
Portable for the aspiring long hitters.

No. !, 2 and In the national listings,
and Gregory Mangin, who is No. S
nationally and formerly was the
United States indoor champion, the
annual Chevy Chase Club doubles
tourney to be played this week end
looms as unusually attractive. John
Van Ryn, who recenly conquered
stoefen at Hot Springs. also plans to
play. Competition opens, Thursday
and continues through Saturday.
Other notables listed to compete
include Manuel Alfonso, Gerald Pat
terson, Watson Washburn and Walter
Merrill Hall, president Of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association.
Among other guests will be Julian s..
Myrtck, former president of the Lawn
Tennis Association and now chairman

dent Of the Seabright> Lawn Tennis
Association Club; George Bodman
and Stuart Young of Eeabright; Fitz
Eugene Dixon, former captain Of the
Davis Cup team, and Cedric Major
and Z. T. Herndon OF the Nassau
Country Club.
In the absence of q Davis Cup
match In Washington this year, the
Chevy Chase affair probably will
afford the only opportunity for WASH
ingtonians to see high-ranking players
here this season.
Preliminary matches will be played
Thursday so as to reduce the field to
Is teams. Regular competition Is to
open Friday morning. Matches will
be two out Of thre sets until the final,
which will be three out Of five.
In addition to the visitors several

n YEW YORK, May L. Johnny
M Fischer, tall and spare golfer
NJ son of q Cincinnati letter car
i Y rier, typifles the smuggling
younger generation Of Ameri-
can linksmen.
With all his power and remarkable
distance the fair-haired. gangling
youth possesses amazing accuracy, and
the combination Of these assets should
prove profitable when he plays in
Scotland with the American team
against golf contingent of Britons in
the international Walker cup compe-
tition. ...-
Like Gus Moreland and Johnny
Goodman, the young and robust open
champion, Johnny Just learned his
golf-he wasn't taught. He learned
about the game as caddy and start
ed to play from the experiences gained
therefrom.
Confident of his distance and con-
troll, Johnny is a gambler Of the fair
ways. His motto Is "Al or nothing"
To play safe would take the thrill out
Of the sport for him. On dog-leg
holes he plays the angles, recklessly
flirting with the wooded side of the
fairways and yawning traps.
A senior at the University Of Michi-
gan, Fischer first commanded the
spotlight in 1882 when he won the
Big Ten championship and the ma
tional intercollegiate title. He went to
Evening star., 1934-05-01

69-73 to tie the qualifying record for
the national tournament.
It took one of the Nations best and
most admired golfers, Francis Ouimet,
to check the rushing youth. Ouimet,
captain Of the 1884 Walker Cup squad,
had to use all Of his tricks to beat
Fischer, / up, In 36-hole semi final.
Fischer came back last year in the
national amateur apd improved on his
1882 qualifying performance, negotiat-
ing the two 18-hole test rounds in
l41 for new record over his native
Kenwood course in Cincinnati. His
admiring townfolks banked heavily on
Johnny to continue that form through
the final, but Johnny was abruptly
pushed to the sidelines in the second
round by Sidney Noyes, up in 1a
holes.
Fischer is 20 years old, measures
more than feet and weighs about
$50 pounds. He's one of those fear
nothing individuals and least Of his
worries are the tales of the gales that
blow over the royal and ancient links
at st. Andrews.
LET 'em blow, and blow hard, toe" !"
said Johnny. He's one Of the longest
drivers In the game and usually keeps
the ball right down the middle of the
fairway, like the part in your hair.

ASEASTERN WINS
Little Mascot Brings Good
Luck as Central Nine
Is DoWned, 7 to 3.

IUST a wiSp of a dog, an
swering to the name of
Peanut-he's, or. rather,
- she's much too little to be
called Peanuts-today is shar-
ing the spotlight at Eastern
High, along with Joe Sullivan,
Joe Mills, Butch Keegin, Charley
Cuozzo, Tommy Nolan and Coach
Charley Guyon, following East
ern's 7-3 diamond triumph yes
terday over Central.
The victory put the Indians out In
front In the public high series race
with two wins against no defeats, and
they now are heavy favorites to win
the flag they've gained either outright
or shared every year since 1928, except
last season, when Tech was victorious
Speedy Bullough, a member of the
Eastern foot ball squad, recalled q few
days before the base ball series opened
that the Central gridiron outfit
adopted a little dog named Rasputin
last Fall and went on to win the
championship. Rasputin, by the way
has since died or he doubtless would
have been around the Central bench
yesterday.
Anyway. Speedy diked Peanut out
in a snug little pennant jacket OF
Eastern light blue and brought him
to the Lincoln Parkers' first title
game, that with Western. Hearing OF
the little dogs attendance at the
game. which Eastern won, to 2,
Principal Charles Hart suggested the
team adopt Peanut as a mascot and
have her at all games. And this Is
just what is being done.

ALTER A COURSE
AFTER TEN YEARS
Greens viii Be Built for
Pitching-NeW Driving
Layout Sumptuous.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

TOR the first time in more
- than a decade, since the
| days when Walter J. Travis
and Col. w. w. Harris laid
out the old A course down on
the flatlandS, where Hams Point
sticks it's nose down the Potomac
toward Alexandria, real change
is going to be made in Wash
ington's first big municipal golf
course.
With some changes which have been
made in course F because of the new
driving range which Is ConceSsionnaire
Loeffler's pet and pride and Joy, the
old A course-f1rst of the layoutS in
East Potomac Parks to be trans
formed from a two-way course to a
one-way course.
The original intention Of the men
who built the course was to have it
played forward and backward. A
course was built with greens which
could be played from either side
north or southland the old A course
started on the Washington Channel
side Of the park and swung south and
west, returning north, while B course
started on the Georgetown Channel
side and swung south, east and then
north. This is all to be changed.
There will not be an A course any
more and the old greens are to be
rebuilt for one-way play on a new
course to be known as course B. In
addition the greens on courses c and
E are also to be rebuilt, forming new
courses to be known as B, D and F.
1t all sounds like flock of the new
Government boards and commissions
which have been set up under the
new deal, but take the word Of Ed
Burns and Al Farr, it will come out
all right and the gents who infest
Potomac Park with low-hying braSsie
shots and well-topped niblick wallops
will be the better for it. The ninth
green on course F is out of use. In
its place, due to changes made neces-
sary by the driving range, the ninth
green on course D is being used as
the ninth for course F, and the first
tee on course D has been changed to
play to the old ninth green on course
A Farr and Burns also vouch for the
fact that this will come out all right,
unless some one gets mixed up with
his alphabet. Meanwhile a new green
Is to be constructed for the ninth
hole on course D.

days. Most Of the better golfers en-
tered are due to play tomorrow.
Match play rounds will be played on
Thursday and Friday and prizes will
be presented late Friday afternoon by
District Attorney Leslie c. Garnett.
AVER at Kenwood a member Of
J the club is being congratulated
on his best golf performance.
The fellow is Ringgold Hart, well
known in the legal profession, who
took his friend Charlie LIE Foe out
and gave him golf lesson. Hart has
been taking a series of trimmings
from lie Foe, but he got even last week
in a match in which he shot three
brides and scored an 85-his best
score since he took up golf. Hart's
brides came on the fifth, eleventh
and seventeenth.
GONE of our leading golfers are
y wondering what makes a 5000
yard course so tough on which to
score. With memories of bad weather
at Belle Haven last week behind them,
tney still think the layout Is not as
tough as the scores last week made it
seem. Your Oldest golfer can hardly
recall the day when some fellow with
a yen for bagging brides failed to
break 30 in the qualifying round of a
tournament played over courses much
longer and harder-looking than that
tricky little Belle Haven layout. But
the fact remains, nevertheless, that
such gents as Pitt, Peacock, Harvey,
Martin Mccarthy, Tommy Webb and
others, who count it bad day when
they do not shoot rs or better, all
failed to break 80 in the medal round
at Belle Haven. There must be some
thing to that rugged little course down
there on the banks of the Potomac
that causes the scores to creep I'D.
Perhaps the position of the pins and
the high winds that blew on both
qualifying days had something to do
with it.

Southern Conference athletes were
likely to cut bigger figure in the
Penn Relays than ever before, and
they certainly did. LeGore of North
Carolina won the javelin throw with
a record-breaking performance of
over 214 feet; Zori of North Carolina
State shattered another record by
tossing the discus ISL feet; Little

jump with % feet 1134 inches; Ever
EFT Of Virginia took the high hurdles;
Widmyer Of Maryland was first in the
100 meters dash, and Lynn of Glenn
son was third in the same event.
Never before in the history of big
northern meet have so many events
been won by Southerners.
Another great performance by a
Southerner was the 55-foot heave of
the l6-pound shot by Jack Torrance
of Louisiana State at the Drake
games at Des Moines. Such a shot
put never before was known, and the
accepted world record Is only a few
inches over So feet. Lyman of Stan
ford has heaved the sphere 54 feet

gether in the National Collegiate Ath-
