practically his entire lifetime to that one ambition

Love scenes between the blonde
star and her leading man, Roger
Pryor are said to have been tenn,

remain in character. So do the

CLARENDONJRS,
FIRST HALF
WINNERS !.

There were three on when
Willie Tolford came to bat in the
eight inning of the Clarendon
Junior Eastern All-Star game. Tol.
ford laid on one and consequently
brought his three mates home
ahead of him, thus taking first
half honors in the National City
Junior League. The score was II
to 8.
Tolford got two other hits, a
double and single, which &C.
counted for seven of the teams
runs. Jimmie Schwabb and Ralph
Cooper also got three bingles for
Clarendon.
Howdy Preston struck out nine
Eastern batsmen and allowed only
seven hits but faulty fielding was
responsible for most of the eight
runs. Charlie GuozZo struck out
nine but is hits were the chief
reason for his downfall.
Ballston A. c. rallied in the
ninth to take a 4-to-3 decision
from Herndon Market, in the
Northern Virginia League. Ma.
nassas won from White Star, Z toll,
and Clardon scored over Fort
Myer, II to /, in Section B.
In Section A games. Middleburg
trimmed Fairfax, 6 to S; Mclean
beat Park Lane, 13 to 10, and
Arlington tripped Falls Church, 6
to 4.
Howdy Preston's kid brother,
Lefty, pitched another Clarendon
team to victory. The Midgets
scored a is to 2. victory over Jack
PryS, in the National City Midget
League.
In other games, Wizards de-
feated VerSis, IL to 6; Schwartz
eked out II to 10 win over Ser
vice, and Simpson gained a 8 to

SCHOOL STARS
LASH D n
SANDLOTS
BY SID KATZNELL

Which offers sterner competi.
tion, high school or Sandlot?
That's an open argument, but a
good introduction for the yarn we
are about to spill.
High school boys have been
making their presence felt in the
National City League. Especially
the youngsters displaying their
wares with the DORA nine which
soundly trounced Griffith Blue
Goals yesterday in Section E, 13
to 3.
Cliff Keyser, Joe Keegin and
Karl Nau, were the shining lights
in the Dor.A's attack both often
sively and defensively, and these
laddies are the products Of the
scholastic league. Keyser starred
behind the bat for Central High
the past season, and Keegin did
likewise for Eastern. Karl Nau
played with Tech several seasons
ago.
Leads Offense
He led the offensive yesterday
with four lusty hits in six trips
to the platter, driving out brace
of doubles and a pair of singles.
Keegan also smacked two doubles
while Keyser was satisfied with
two timely singles.
Buddy Nau and Mario Gregorlo
are two other Central boys, who
are responsible for Dor-A's fine
showing in league competition.
These boys didn't play yesterday
on account of injuries, but they
will be in there fighting next Sab
bath Day.
Macy pitched for the winners
and allowed only three hits, WeS-
ley and James worked for the
losers.
Phil Bounford, Carl Giovannetti,
Lefty" Chumbris and De Bet
tencourt are the mainstays OF
Gordon's Cafeteria.
AIl,High Players
Bounford played shortstop for
Western; Giovannetti was all-high
second baseman with Roosevelt
the past season; Chumbris was all
high left fielder for Central this
spring, and De Bettencourt was
all-high pitcher with Central two
years ago. The Cafeteria outfit de-
feated Federal A. C. in Section A
yesterday, 13 to 9. Bounford and
Giovannetti collected three bingles
apiece.
Murphy's Five and Ten sur.
prised by taking st. Joseph's
Saints into camp in Section A, 2
to 4. Ray Davidson hurled for
the Five and Ten Stores aggrega-
ton and was in rare form. limiting
the Saints to seven scattered. hits.
Blue Flame completely out
played the Rinaldi Coal Company
nine in Section B to win IL to S.
Congress Heights trimmed r.. G..
Dunno in Division A, IL to 6.
1nexperience cost the game for
the Warwicks against the MillerS
in an extra inning game in Section
B. The MillerS won out after 10
innings Of torrid baseball, 7 to S.
Pig n Whistle blanked the
Wash B. williams in Section A, 6
to 0. Blackie Adair pitched for
the Pigs, and permitted only four
hits.

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


There's an entrant in today's
District public park golf cham
pionship who might grab himself
one Of the places on the team that
will represent this city in the ma
tional championship at Pitts
burgh, July 30-August 4.
He's the veteran John r. Miller
and, strange to say, Johnny has
received Scant attention in the ad'
vance notices on the tournament.
The former Beaver Dam player
is now virtually a weekend golfer
but he's entering the local muny
title tourney with a grim determ-
ination. He might prove the
dark horse. in the tournament.
Might Step Down Front
A tried and trued campaigner,
Miller has the game to carry him
afar in any public links tourney

prise to see him stepping down in
front of Claude Rippy, Harlan

It wasn't always thus, however.
Once upon q time the same

ment was held here and the win
ner was a bona fide resident Of
the Nations Capital. In fact it
has happened more than once but
just when and who was the win.
ner foiled most Of the partici-
pants, whose memories are good,
but not that good.
It seems that Mrs. Ruth Mar
tineZ won the honorS three years
ago, succeeding Frances Krucoff.
who gave the game up when she
married.
From 1881 until the present
time, the trophy has been places
and seen things, among which no
doubt was the Chicago Century
Of Progress Exposition.
Hofmeister Wins
A Windy City miss, Louise Hoff-
meister, copped the laurels in 1882
and 1888. She didn't defend her
title this year, and it went to
Reba Kirson, Of Baltimore, q for.
mer washington resident.
Miss KirSon had competed
twice before, reaching the semi
finals in 1892 and the finals last
year. This time she made good
and gave a great exhibition OF
grit in so doing. Both Of her feet
were badly blistered. Patches of
bandage and tape helped some
what but a less courageous girl
would have had to give up be-
cause the pain was so severe that
she was under a doctors care be-
fore she played.
Stages Comeback
Despite the physical pain she
suffered, she had the stuff to
come from behind after spotting
her opponent, Frances Grimes, of
Morgantown, w. Va, a set.
Following her 4-6 loss to the
classy stroker from West Vir-
ginia, she won 81, only to see Miss
Grimes go to a 81 lead and then
5-4 advantage in the last set.
Needless to say she won the next
three games to take the set at
rs for the match.
She couldn't have drawn a bet.
ter opponent than little Miss
Grimes, who fought for each point
from the start to the finish, refus-
ing to blow up. Miss Grimes pos.
Sesses a powerful forehand and is
nearly unbeatable at the net.
Doubles faults helped to lead to
her downfall.
Unlike most women's matches,
the 1884 finals saw both players
Stroking the ball with lots Of
power for sustained rallies.
Need More Zip
This may or may not be the
key to the lack Of success of the
washington women when they
run up against this type Of game.
It isn't necessary that they hit
the ball with the speed a male
star imparts, but they could stand
little more punch so as to give
the ball a little more zip when it
clears the net.
Since many have been playing
too long to change their style with
any hope Of success the younger
players like Peggy Keyser will
likely have to shoulder the bur.
den. She has been called a com.
ing star by many, her chief fault
now being a slight inferiority
complex against some players who
are supposed to be better than
her.

AU-StGrs Game
Arlington Classic
Major Sport EUents
BY BILL CoRUM

NEW YORK, July s.-The
major sporting events Of the
coming week on this side Of the
ocean are the major league all
star baseball game at the Polo
Grounds tomorrow and the rich
Arlington classic horse race at
Arlington Park, Chicago, on Sat
urday.
I'm sure you scarcely can
wait to find out who or what,
Gs the case may be, will win
these events. Probably you
didn't get q wink Of sleep all
last night for thinking about
'em. How foolish Of you. When
in q dilema Of that kind on a
sports contest, just call on the
op doc-a couple winners a week
and live forever as his motto.
VI Now what were those two con.
tests I was going to pick for
you?
That's right. The ball game
and the Arlington classic.
And Just like you snap your
fingers at care, here are the
answers:
The National League All-Star
and Joseph E. Widener's Peace
Chance. Peace Chance will
knock the racing world gaga by
outrunning poor Mrs. Dodge
SInane'S Cavalcade.
I see where the ancient Tom
Kearney, Of st. Louis, who
quotes more odds than he lays
bets, has made the American
League All-Stars favorite at
Y to 10. Uncle Tom is crossing
the thin ice with little Eliza
on those figures. But don't
worry, he won't fall in. I've
known him for 20 years and
he never has.
The truth is that if there is
any advantage at all in this
bali game it lies with the team
from the older circuit. Even if
it is true that the American
League is the faster. better
league as q whole (Which I
personally doubt) that doesn't
give it any edge in one ball
game.
Eight Teams Make League
1t takes eight teams to make
4 league. This is only one team,
composed Of individual stars
stars so evenly matched that
Kearney or nobody else can
find difference in them except
personal preference.
My own vote for the out
standing individual star on the
field tomorrow would go to
Lou Gehrig. But I went to
school with the Yankee first
bsseman, went South with him
to New orleans on his first
training trip, which was also
mine, and have taken a per-
sonal pride. in his diamond
achievements. and been his
friend since.
mus l don't figure 10 be Tree
from prejudice in his behalf,
but that doesn't make me blind
to the obvious fact that in one
ball game Bill Terry may play
p rings around him.
No, nobody living can split
out super stars such as these.
In his prime, Ruth, the super
super-Star would have given his
team an edge. He may still do
it., He won last years game for
