THIS fellow Leo Walper, profess
sor OF golf at driving course
at Bethesda, is getting to be
quite a SHOEMAKER. Leo blasted
out a Sub-par SO yesterday at Belle
Haven Country Clubs tricky little
course down near Alexandria to tie for
first place in the Middle Atlantic P. G.
A. individual sweepstakes with Ralph
Beach of Baltimore, and at the same
time Walper and Louis Fuchs, Indian
Spring amateur, tied for first money
in the amateur-pro tourney with
Beach and his portly partner, Nathan
kaufman, jr.. of the Baltimore Subur-
ban Club. Both teams had best ball
scores of 66.
Three teams tied for second place
with better ball totals of ST. They
were Witty Cox and Russ Hollebaugh
of Kenwood: AL Houghton and Levi
Yoder of Indian Spring, and Frank
Cunningham of Burning Tree and
Sam Rice of Indian Spring. Cox
and Hollebaugh came home over the
last nine in 80, aided by an eagle
deuce scored by Witty on the 350-yard
twelfth hole. where he drove the green
and canned a 15-foot putt for the
deuce. Witty did not turn in card
in the sweepstakes race.
Walper, who is one of the longest
hitters we have around the bunkered
Capital, grabbed five brides on his 50
round.

Almost Reaches Goal

oh. YES, Stokes had had his mo-
ments. There was the time, for
example, when he stood on the seven
teenth tee at Congressional with 80
strokes behind him. He needed a
brace Of fives on the last two holes
to bust that so mark. He got the S
at the seventeenth and the eighteenth
isn't such a tough 4. But in front
Of the tee stretches a water hazard
filled with ducks, and bulrushes and
golf balls. Stokes wanted to watch
the ducks or something. so he hit sew
eral balls into the water. He finally
holed out in 9.
And there was the time when. with
a hard turf and favoring conditions,
he came to the ninth with a to bust
so, a harder task than it is on the
last half Of the journey. But he be-
came tangled UP in the bunkers and
rough and holed out in 7.
What hard game this golf has
turned out to be-" Stokes sighs. But
the funny part of it is I have had q
birdie. Yep, had one four years ago.
Two things want most out of this
game-another birdie and the thrill OF
breaking so. III get em both if I live
long enough"

Horseshoe Stars Play SenFinas d. Golfers Urged To Enter Pa,
20 YEARS AGO
IN THE STAR

WHEN Walter Johnson's pitch
w ing days are over he will not
retire from the game. He has abil-
ity as an all-round player and hit
ter and is known to possess the
qualifications of an ideal first base
man or outfielder, where he would
undoubtedly reveal one of the
strongest throwing arms in the
league. The chances are, however,
that it will be many year before
johnson will quit the pitchers box.
Because not one single player has
been discovered In the minor
leagues this season who would be
available for the Nationals future
use, Clark Griffith will abolish the
present system of scouting and
next year the Washington club will
be one Of several American League
teams without a scout on its pay
roll.

Parker won 10 straight games before

Y OPING for the biggest entry

sectional qualification rounds
IL Il when the tourney is played
at Indian Spring on August 20. Tom
Belshe, president Of the District Golf
Association, today called on all aspir-
ing amateur golfers in the National

Tom hopes for a field of rs or more
simon-pure linksmen when the &c.
hole tourney comes of, and for Is or
more places for the local qualiflers in
the national championship at Cleve-
land, September to IA.
Last year at Five Farms, where the
sectional rounds were played, there
were 81 players entered for IA places.
Five of these places went to Wash
ingtonianS, with Gene Vinson, later
to win the District championship, top
ping the list at lat, and thereby grab
bing the gold medal which goes to
the leader in each section. This year
the number of sections have been in
creased to 20, which would reduce the
number of places open in each section
were it not for the fact that the
starting list in the tourney proper
also has been enlarged. Last year
around 180 players started in the
match play rounds Of the champion j.
ship at Brookline, Mass. This year
there will he 0n0 starters All former
champions and the current British
amateur champion automatically are
eligible without qualification, which
will work no hardship in so far as
the British champ is concerned, for
he happens to hold the United States
crown as well. The boys will have
tough time dethroning Lawson Little
in any amateur tourney for a few
more years.

V YOU'VE heard the fellows talk
" Of the guy who's 80 dizzy he
doesn't even know the score"
Now Alan Blade isn't dizzy,
but an odd occurrence at Rock Greek
Park yesterday came at the con-
clusion of his public parks match
with Ralph McElvenny, the fifth
seeded player. Alan was SO hot (and
bothered, too) that he utterly failed
to realize that the end had come.
And SO, when McElvenny came to the
net to shake hands as the victor
after the final point Blade asked
whats the scorer" and not until he
stopped to think did it dawn upon
him that it was 6-3 and 6-l meant
he was through for the day. McEl-
venny was one Of the six seeded stars
who reached the quarter finals, which
are to be played tomorrow. Bill Breese,
Hugh Lynch, Dooly Mitchell, Tony
Latona and Frank Shore are safely
"in," leaving only aBrney Welsh and
Bud Markey as the select" who have
not played their third-round matches.
Welsh meets Matte Ritzenberg at

runs up against Alan Staubly an hour
later. Doubles play was scheduled for
the rest of this afternoon.

T TITLE HELEN ORME, recent run
ner-up in the girls playground

the city's No. woman player and one
of the best in the South Atlantic sec
ton, to three sets before bowling, Ga,
2-6, 60. Helen should be near the
top few years hence.
Semi-finals in the girls play will be
reached this afternoon, when Miss
johnson plays Dorette Miller, Camille
Jacobs meets Betty Kronman and
Mary Ryan faces Bobsy Turney.
Sara Moore is already in the semis
and is given an afternoon of rest.

Mitchell just about all he could handle
