FROM THE PRESS BOX
BY JOHN LARDNER

was serialized in certain newspapers
that year, and he says that the base
ball public waited at the news stands
for the next issue with all the fervor
and excitement of the English readers
who followed Dickens 'Pickwick
Papers in the original serial form.
The all-star spirit is running just
as high today. the strange part Of it
being that the ball players themselves
are infected. The game between the
stars of the National and American
Leagues is all in fun, but very few OF
the chattels seems to realize it. They
are spending their spare time figuring
angles and writing out their own Sc
lections A ball player has to be very
interested to write anything more
strenuous than his own name.
There is a lot of talk in ivory
circles, for instance, about the pos
sibility of Jimmy Foxx being left out
of the game. They tell you that
Jimmy is the best right-handed batter
IN his league, the greatest slugger of
the present time, bar none, and one
of the most earnest, hard-working ball
players in the game. They say the
all-star contest would be rather silly
without him.
Then they argue about George H.
Ruth and whether he deserves to be
in there. And about Jimmy Dykes
and Van Mungo-and Mickey Coch-
rane and Travis Jackson - and
Tommy Bridges-and a dozen other
guys. The players talk in the locker
rooms. and the fans talk in the stands.
This all-star game is doing a great
deal to keep the notions Of the late
Mr.. Camp and the late Mr.. Mathewson
alive.

V VIRGINIA BEACH. Va. June 30.
v Two courageous campaigners
youthful but battle tested
fought theil way into the final of the
Virginia amateur golf championship
this afternoon-Chandler Harper
Portsmouth's defending champion
and Aulick Burke of Petersburg.
They advanced at the expense OF
a pair of the finest competitors in

morrow over the 36-hole route for
the coveted crown.
Phil. after eliminating Billy Howell
OF Richmond, three times champion,

gruelling 18-hole battle with Harper
under blazing sun that wilted both
contestants and SPECTATORS.
Burke came from behind in bril-

Harper, a real SHOEMAKER and
medaliSt in the tournament. is IA
vored on his record in the final battle
tomorrow, but Burke is conceded con-
siderably better than an outside
chance.
Seventeen-year-old Lily Harper won
the womens amateur golf champion
ship with a and 4 victory over Mrs.
George Schenck of Norfolk
Not up to her best game, the 100
pound lass had more than enough to
whip her Norfolk competitor soundly.
Mrs. Schenck won only one hole,
the thirteenth. At that time she was
down and to 60.
Tomorrow Lily and Mrs H C. Ker-
stem of Richmond will fight it out for
the medal. They tied with sos in the

WHITE went out fighting mad
" this afternoon. but Yates i'm
mediately increased his lead
to five by laying the Texan perfect
stymie on the nineteenth hole. White
was back with beautiful birdie four
on the long 463-yard twentieth.
1t was on the incoming nine this

rally after Yates had lost his ball on

six-foot putt and then stayed in the
running with a thirty-foot putt for q
birdie deuce on the thirty-second.
On the next hole. Whites old trou-
BILE popped up again and he sliced his
tee shot into some wicked rough. He
was compelled to chip out onto the
fairway, losing a stroke. Yates was
home in par figures to end the match.
This morning Yates toured the

OLYMPIC GAMES
STIR NAZI HEADS
Interest in Sport Genuine-Hit'
Ter Keen Ring Fan, Schmel-
ling Follower.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n ERLIN, June 3O.-With the
X approach of the Olympic
games Nazi Germany
political leaders have dis
covered their sportsmindedness
Their interest in the preparations
for the 1886 games here and their
promotion of young athletes seem to
indicate that the Nazi chiefs will not
be mere hosts to the elite of the
worlds athletes, but that they will
watch the events with genuine in
terest.
Inner political Notification prob
lens chiefly disposed of, men like
Chancellor Adolf Hitler, Hermann
Goering, minister of aviation, and
Vice Chancellor Franz Won Papen in
their leisure moments are devoting
some time to sports, either as active
members of clubs or as fans.
Adolf Hitler's fancy is boxing. He
is not pugilist himself, but will,
great care and real enthusiasm he
follows the career Of German and
also of foreign champions. Walter
Neusel and Max Schmeling are the
chancellor's favorite boxers. Although
he doesn't know Neusel personally
he has followed his bouts in the
United States very closely.
CHORTLY before Schmeling's last
y trip to the United States, Hit
Ter had Make over at the chan
cellory one afternoon to hear from
him all about boxing.
Ice hockey and figure skating are
two more fields which the Nazi chief
tain likes and Sonia Henie is one
OF his favorite fancy skaters.
Won Papen, once a skilled eques-
trian, still is a devoted horseback
rider and prominent at all German
race courses.
Aviation holds Minister Goering in
its grip. Himself war ace, the
Reich's minister rests from his duties
either in the cockpit of an airplane
or at the steering wheel of his auto
mobile. Goering is also a frequent
visitor of track and field events.
Hitler's personal representative, Ru-
dolf Hess, also is sold on flying Only
recently he pinned another prize to
his record by winning sporting
plane speed and reliability contest.
An all around fan is Wilhelm Frick
minister of the interior, who likes
ice hockey, track events and SWIM
ming contests. With the same en-
thusiasm he watches the perform
ances of Germanys stunt flyers, and
gets a thrill out of hazardous auto
mobile races.

W. DSAbNlhI
Who is chairman of the Aquatic
Sports Committee Of the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta Association,
has been interested in water
sports almost since he was able
to walk. He has competed in
hundreds OF swimming and canoe
ing events, and his prowess as a
master of these sports won him
countrywide recognition which
during 1882 and 1888 earned him
the coveted post of commodore of
the American Canoe Association.
Burch formerly was a member
of championship canoe racing
crews of the Washington Canoe
Club, later joining the Potomac
Boat Club. In 1924 he won the
one-man single-blade event and
was in the winning tandem and
four, which defeated the crews that
had represented the Washington
Canoe Club that year at the
Olympics in Paris.
Mrs. Burch also is an expert in
water sports and she and her
husband for several years were
ranked as national champions in
mixed tandem single-blade canoe
ing. There are three Burch chill
dren and each of them, too. has
won prizes in canoeing and SWIM
ming.
In addition to being a member
of the Presidents Cup Regatta
Association, Burch is a member Of
the Potomac Boat Club, the
Optimist Club of Washington of
which he has been secretary for
the last eight years, and the
Sigma Nu Fraternity. Under his
direction the Presidents Cup Re
gatta this year will see two days
of attractive canoeing and SWIM
ming events. The competition is
expected to draw scores of SWIM
mers and canoeists from this Sec
ton Of the country.

BROTHER, SISTER
BOTH CHAMPIONS
Harpers Of Portsmouth, in
Same Class, May Tackle
Congressional Duo.

A BROTHER SISTER links
" combination which would
~ do fairly well in competi-
- tion against any such duo
in the land is being developed
at the Congressional Country
Club in the perSonable young
golfing Dettweilers-Helen, the
Maryland State and District
girls champion, and Billy, the
holder of the District and Mary
land junior championships.
OF all the young brother-sister
golfing combinations in this sector Of
the land, we can point to only one
such family duo which might have a
chance with the long-hitting Dett-
weilers as a best ball combine. These
are the youthful Harpers from Ports
mouth, Va, generally rated as the
best pair of young golfers in the Old
Dominion State. Chandler is defend
ing his State title down at Virginia
Beach today while Lily, II years old,
is an outstanding competitor in any
tournament she enters.
What a golf match it would be to
see the Dettweilers of Washington
pit'ed against the Harpers of Vir-
ginia. And there is a chance that
such a match may come of. For
next October, when the Middle At
lantic Golf Association womens
championship is held at the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club, the
Misses Dettweiler and Harper will be
two Of the outstanding competitors
for the title now held by Mrs. Jean
Jones of Richmond.
In conjunction with the champion
ship tourney the association plans a
mixed Scotch foursome tourney, and
if Chandler can be coaxed to come
up from Norfolk we may yet see a
match between the youthful scions
of the two families.

THE decisiveneSs of the scores of
the singles final indicates just
how far Mako outclassed the
New England intercollegiate cham
pion, who has been playing the last
few days with shoes on, although he'd
rather go barefoot.
Apparently still somewhat weak
from yesterdays heat, Hunt was not
in the fight today after the middle. of
the second set. In fact, the third
canto developed into tennis somewhat
resembling "pat-ball,' as the dark
haired lad from the Capital seemed
content just to bat the ball back to
his opponent, instead of displaying
the guileful placement game and
volley and half-volley which baffied
his opponents in early rounds.
His tennis today was far inferior
than the brand which enabled him
to batter the 1888 champion, Tidban,
into submission in straight sets in
the quarter-finalS two days ago, to
assure a new champion.
Mako, on the other hand. seemed
not so much affected from the suns
intense rays today, but he, too, was
somewhat slowed However he had
enough on the ball to take the lead
early in the first set and run out the
victory.

-OR the first time since late April
the coming week finds COM
r paratively little activity along
the local links front. Barring
the many club competitions to
be played in midweek, on July T.
there is only one major tournament
scheduled this week. This lone big
affair will find nearly 80 players of
the fair sex gathered at the Wood
mont Country Club tomorrow to COM
pete over the l8-hole medal play hand
leap route for the Times Trophy.
The entry list has been curtailed by
the heat and absence from the city
of many Of the players who made up
the colossal entry lists Of earlier tour
naments. On July all the clubs
have planned special tournaments
for their members, but If the heat
continues the golf courses are more
than apt to be virtually deserted in
favor of the seashore and the noun
tains.
On the woman's side Of the golf
picture the first team championship
is virtually decided. Chevy Chase
has piled up so long a lead that the
next match, slated for Tuesday. July
10. at Congressional, may find the
leaders winning without the necessity
of playing the final match on July
"a. OF course the final match will
be played, hut more than likely 1t
will have no bearing on the standing
of the winner.
NNE OF the finest rounds OF golf
ever played on the Chevy Chase
course came last week from the
blazing clubs of c. Ashmead Fuller,
former club champion, as he tried to
overhaul the long lead OF Frank P.
Reside. the new title holder. who
won so worthily with score Of 301.
Fuller scored 70 over the last round
of the tourney. but the score does
not tell the story.
Ashmead scored that 73, which Is
4 over the par of SO, with 6 on
the par 3 ninth hole and another s
on the par 4 sixteenth. Give him
pars on those two holes and he has
a So. considerable golf in any league
and particularly over such difficult
layout as that at Chevy Chase.
Ashmead. virtually out Of the cham
pionship after three mediocre rounds,
played his final round with Bob
Barnett against Fred Mcleod and
Bobby Cruickshank. The Chevy
Chase pair licked the visitors by 2
and l, with Barnett scoring a 68
single handed. They clinched the
pair by both scoring birdie 3s on
the fifteenth.
w are written, Fred Mcleod is
going to have lot to say
about the stunts of A. S. Gardiner.
Columbia veteran who is past the age
when he is expected to go around
long course in II strokes.
Yet that is exactly what Gardiner
did in a match against Mcleod, to
whip the veteran pro by plenty. That
fellow goes crazy against me-" Freddie
grinned. But it's good to see him
do it. I haven't licked him in six
starts and I probably never will if he
keeps as he is doing"
UNDOUBTEDLY Virginia Pope, the
Kenwood youngster who re-
linquished her girls junior title
to Helen Dettweiler last week, is going
to be more careful about hitting her
ball to the green in the future if there
is a chance she may strike another
