SCORE IN BALTIMORE
Heurichs, Beaten Here, Get Back
at Fleet Wings-Rinaldi's
Drub Dominics.
BREWERS Of this city

ITEURICH BREWERS of this city
H and Gettysburg Fleet Wings
broke even on the basket ball
court yesterday. The Wings conquered
the Brewers, 1890, in an afternoon
game in the George Washington gym
nasium, but the District of Columbia
team playing under the name of the
Empire Laundry evened scores by
downing the Pennsylvanians, Abs,
last night in Baltimore. The night
game was Baltimore Semi-Pro
League affair.
Otis Zahn, Washington boy. who
formerly captained the George Wash
ington basketers, scored only 2 points
for the Wings in the afternoon game,
but these were vital in his teams
victory. He came through with q
court goal in the final minutes to put
the visitors ahead, 1880. Just before
the game ended Cal Heller dropped in
two shots from the foul line.
The game here was the first home
test of the season for the Brewers
and their third defeat in 48 starts.
1t was battle royal all the way. with
Gettysburg leading at the half, 1914.
Bozie Berger, with 8 points led the
Heurich's attack, but Hoke and Heller
of the winners each counted 10.
In the night game the Brewers were
ahead at the half, 30-16. Ralph
Bennie, with II points; Joe Croson,
with 10, and Berger, with 9 were their
high scorers.
Rinaldi Tailors. another District of
Columbia team, also won in the Balti-
more Semi-Pro League last night,
drubbing the Dominic's quint of the
Monumental City, 25-14. Goldblatt,
with points, was high scorer for the
winners, who were in front at the
half, 25-14.

Willie Turnesa Dangerous.

r ISTEN to the men who know the
game and you will hear the
name of Willie Turnesa of Elms-
ford, N. Y, mentioned in those con-
versations which golfers have as they
discuss past champions and coming
crown-wearers.
Willie knocked over George Dun
lap, the 1888 champion, at Brookline
last year with the hottest round Of
the tournament, and then, with a
mediocre round, fell before Lawson
Little.
Little was the best man In that
1924 championship. You couldn't get
any argument on that. But suppose
Turnesa had had the same hot round
against him that he had against Dun
lap in the morning. Brother Little
wouldn't be the amateur champion
today, for no man could have stood up
against the 80 which Willie shot
against Dunlap over the first nine
holes.
Today you can go anywhere over
the land and find some kid good
enough to beat a national champion.
All Of which makes the national
amateur golf championship as it is
played, with a flock Of 18-hole match
play rounds, the greatest gamble in
the sporting world.
1t will be played again in the same
way this year You can gamble on
that, for the U. S. G. A. has ex-
pressed complete satisfaction with the
method of settling the little matter Of
the best amateur in the land. despite
the squawks Of the old-timers, who
insist that a 36-hole match round is
a better test.

Many Good Youngsters.

THE national amateur golf cham
| pionship of today is the most
wide-open competition in sport
and the kids have had lot to do with
making it that. Take lad like Billy
Dettweiler. or Roger Peacock or Bobby
Riegel of Richmond. Any one of 'em
can shoot 18 holes good enough to
beat a national champion, no matter
how good he may be.
The last national is case in point.
Who had heard of Bobby Jones Of
Detroit, or Bobby Jacobson of Deal
until they knocked off Ouimet and
Goodman in the opening 18-hole
round? And who had heard of Al
Andreggen of Chicago until he wal
loped Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati,
Walker Cup team member?
Lawson Little alone escaped the
scalping of the favorites and only be-
cause none of the kids happened to
have hot round against him. For
Lawson had his ordinary rounds up
there at Brookline. He is human, like
any other golfer, and he can make bad
shots just as any one else.
IL WOu De DlC surprising 10 see
some kid catch him off stride at Cleve-
next Fall and knock off the amateur
champion in one of the early rounds.
There are too many of them and they
golf too well, for any man to keep on
winning against these boys, who hit
every shot to the pin with lot more
than a prayer; who care not for the
odds, but boldly strike out for the
shortest path to the hole, and get
there.
Championship golf of today is
strictly kids game. The U. S. G. A.
has made it so with its multiplicity
of 18-hole match rounds. 1t all makes
for better tournament.

Three or four Of 'em tried to get
some Of Bricks two-bit pieces early
yesterday while they were waiting for
their foursome to organize and what
a licking they took!
Brick didn't do a doggoned thing
but sink six aces in nine holes, to
play the course in total of IL strokes,
a record that probably will stand for
a long time, as the distance between
the cups is not short and some of his
aces were 20-footers.
Had they known how Brick is out

hour after hour, they wouldn't have
been so quick to try to make monkey
Of him on that putting green. The
Wood boy. given more time to play
golf, would rate fairly high among the
young pros around Washington. He
is a good hitter and he puts as we'll
out on the golf course as he does on
the practice green.
JAMES L. TRACY, golf chairman at
Il Washington, surprised himself
and two or three others by shoot
ing 73 through the mud and mist
late yesterday. Out in 81, Tracy
burned up the last nine holes with a
SO, ending the round with one of the
finest shots seen at Washington, a
high brassie shot that left him a
4-foot putt for a birdie 8, which he
holed.
Tracy said that Washington prob
ably will hold an invitation tourna-
ment this year, although no decision
has been made on this matter. The
Washington club usually holds the in
ltial event OF the year about the Cap
ital during the first week in May.
There's lot of smoke and very lit
tie fire at Kenwood, where AL Hough-
ton may or may not leave the club on
February /, depending on how club
officials view the protest of group of
exactly 20 members who met yester-
day and strongly urged Houghton to
remain.
The fact of the matter is that AIS
services at Kenwood will terminate on
February 1 unless some radical change
takes place, and you can lay to that.
But there's a lot of undercurrent
conversation going the rounds, and
a good deal of feeling that Al should
remain with the club which he has
made famous by his golf activities
over the country. His passing would
be a distinct blow to the club and to
his many friends, but just what will
be done is conjectural. The chances
are Houghton will leave on February

arises a point of authenticity in re-
