MD. A. {. SIGNS
SEVEN STARS
FOR ELEVEN
BY SID KATZNELL

Back in 1920, during the drop
kick era, an ambitious young
man by the name Of Ralph
Dutch" Boyer, who recently re-
ceived his degree from the Mary
land Agricultural College, now
Maryland University, decided that
Seat Pleasant needed a football
team.
So he promptly gathered the
biggest and toughest youths in
the neighborhood and organized
the Seat Pleasant A. c.. which
was later named the Maryland
A. c. Since that time the team
has slowly but surely advanced to
the front ranks and this Seasop
Boyer has realized his dreams.
He'll have a stadium with a seat
ing capacity of $500 and a field
to compare with any Semi-pro
or sandlot gridiron in this.vicinity.
Keeping up with the New DEAF
policy, Dutch has signed Willis
Brenner, Tom Webb and George
Cole, former Maryland University
players; Huck Wynne, former
Western High star; speedy" Hoff.
Marion A. C. flash; Eats" Webb:
Mercury A. c. lineman, and Paul
Darby, st. Mary's Celtics' ace, for
the approaching season.
Of course, Boyer will have many
of his last years players available,
including Ray Davidson, Ken
Hampton, George Hampton, Pat
Butler, Johnny Simms, Bennie Jen-
kins, Ed Radke, Eddie Dugan.
Tom Mills, Gordon King, George
Ford and Cy Ball.
Maryland A. c. has always been
one of the leaders in the Capital
City Football League and it's best
season was in 1927 when the
NorthernS nosed it out for the
championship, 7 to 6. That par
ticular season the club was COM
posed of the lightest and green
est material in it's history. How
ever, the players also were the
most spirited lot. Jerry Angus
tine, famous sandlot pitcher a de-
cade ago, played the backfield for
the 1927 team.
incidentally, Maryland A. C..
defeated Stanton A. c. in 1921 IN
the first local night football
game played in this vicinity.
The team will start an inten-
sive four-weeks training session
September II in the new Seat
Pleasant Stadium.
Boyer is already arranging
games. He may be reached by

Cline q Derelict
Irish Patsy Cline, the boy who
fought Benny Leonard to a stand
still on at least one occasion, is
a derelict around the metropol1-
tan area. He was introduced at
professional football game in
Brooklyn and a collection was
taken up in the stands for him.
Joe Shugrue, the jersey City
lightweight who knocked out
Benny Leonard once, is another
boy who must be included in the
list. He went out of action al
most before he had reached his
prime. There were few better
fighters than Shugrue in a day
when Charley White and boys of
that stripe were at their peak.
I've named some Of the out
standing fighters of the ring who
are wholly or partially blind. But
I'm not appealing for the greats
or the good ones alone. 1 don't
care whether the boys know how
to put up their hands. Indeed
the worse they are, the greater is
their need of protection by
referees.
Thumbing is hard to detect,
but it can be detected. The ref
ereeS should instruct fighters how
to clench their fists, if necessary
Some fighters are so dumb they
won't know even how to do that
If fighter punches with any part
of his fist except the knuckles-
and he can score points only un'

with the knuckleS, he should be
disqualified.
If medical examination estab
fishes that a fighters eye, the

GOLF TRIALS
WITH 1873
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The
qualifying idea for the national
amateur golf championship is not
to narrow down and eliminate.
That's an old-fashioned notion.
What we now want is to hold
these trials so that we can tell
with absolute assurance just who
has no chance-and then give it
to them. This is known as the
tumble and stumble system and
is practically infallible with dark
glasses.
In yesterdays sectional tests
scores were generally out of the
low seventies with, of course,
some conspicuous exceptions. The
best score of the day was made
by Verne (Specs) Stewart, a
Stanford University student from
Albuquerque, who put together
two 69'S for a total 1873 at Den.
yer. The second man in the Scor-
ing was Phil Farley of Toronto,
who shot 73-67-140 to lead in
Buffalo. zell Eaton shot a SO and
a 73 down at Oklahoma City.
Tommy Taller also had an aggre-
gate of al, with a II and 10, up
at Darlington, r. I. Bob Keppler,
Dayton, O., had 142. So did three
Texans, Leland Harmon, Dave
Goldman and Reynolds Smith.
There were a few other note
worthy examples, but the rest of
the qualifiers averaged well over
IS.
Borrowed From England
OF course, one could charge off
the Brookline plan to a leaning
toward a broader Democracy if
it wasn't for the fact that we
borrowed the idea from England,
which is as democratic as q top
hat and, moreover, prides itself
on the fact that it uses the no
system system, featuring endless
confusion and disorder. However,
in some American minds even
British errors are brilliant and,
if it were possible, we'd probably
acquire feet that ran down at
one heel and up at the other.
AS it is, we changed the golf ball
because we thought England
wanted it changed.
When we found out that Eng.
land didn't, the discovery being
made in the course of Is months,
we had to go ahead, anyhow. The
manufacturers simply were loaded
up with golf balls that England
didn't want and wouldn't take, so
we took them.
Might Need Accountants
We are now taking up the non.
system system in serious way.
starting with the championship at
Brookline, September 10 to IS. No
less than 180 golfers will be there
for the start. On the first day,
there will be So 18-hole matches,
with 76 players drawing first
round byes. On the second day,
there will be 81 18-hole matches.
On the third day-but there I go,
always Dragging.
For all I know, we might have
to call in q firm of chartered &C
countants to find the third day.
