ACE AMATEUR
STUMBLES
|NF|NAL
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Two of WaShington'S outStand-

Oy UEOGGAI6 6As 04AN11 0U4N
Two of WaShington's outstand-
ing golfers. AL Houghton, Ken
wood Country Club pro, and
Roger S. Peacock, ace amateur
of the Indian Spring Country
Club, stood at opportunity'S
doors but their knocks went un-
needed.
Peacock's loss to young Bobby
Riegel, Richmond, 4 and 2, IN
the final of the Middle Atlantic
amateur championship at Hot
Springs, Va. was the most stun
ming. Even the seismograph at
Georgetown University recorded
this golf temblor of the Middle
Atlantic amateur area. Peacock
scattered shots all over the first
nine for a 43 to be 5 down.
Peacock, after having dis
pensed with Maury Nee, Colum-
bia Country Club youngster, 4
and 3, in the SemifinalS and,
with his greatest threat, Chand
Ter Harper, extinguished by
Riegel. was expected to emerge
victor in the final, though not
without a struggle. Few gave
RiegeI scant chance Of scoring
over Peacock but not even his
StauncheSt hackers dreamed he
would win by such an over
whelming margin.
Long Puts Decide
Riegels long puts were re-
sponsible for the downfall of
Peacock. The Richmond young
ster rolled 'em in from every
place on the carpet and Peacock
was unable to match such put
ting. Riegel went 20 holes before
upSetting Harper in the semi
finals.
Houghton Succumbed to the sub
par shooting of Denny Shute,
and S, in a quarterfinal match
of the national P. G.. A. cham.
pionship at Buffalo. Shute was
seven under par for the 81 holes
while Houghton was level par for
the same distance. Which indi.
Gates that par golf isn't sufficient
for the P. G. A. event. You've
got to be several strokes under
the standard to survive in that
competition, the sharpest in all
golfdom. Against Shute, Hough
ton was weak with his driver
hooking many drives and being
outdriven by 80 and 40 yards or
several holes. Card:

Fur Catch Below Normal

Alaska trappers took total of 226,8O9 pelts, valued at more than 112 million dollars, in 1883. according to a report of the bureau of biological sur- vey recently issued.
 An additional 1,142 pelts taken from the Pribilof Islands under government auspices brought the total fur catch of the Territory to 227,951 pelts of all varieties. This does not include the annual take of seal skins from the Pribilof herds.
 Both in numbers and value, the catch was considerably be- low normal. In some cases prices were only 50 per cent of those usually obtainable.

The Tuxedoes, the fastest kitten

either taken on new spirit or they
have decided to play ball for a change.
They have not lost a game for a
number Of weeks, topping all these
victories off by beating the South
western Iowa champions easily by a
score Of 5 to l at Odebalt, Iowa.
The Tuxedo inield, composed of
Junior Grayson, third base; Adolph
Bolden, shortstop; "Snozz" Smith,
second base and Clyde "Deac" Tramp
ton, first base, have been classed by
most sports authorities as the fastest
kitten ball infield ever to grace a

and accurate throws to the basses
have helped to give them that dis
tinction.
