Quite a flock of professional
brethren around Washington will
travel over to Hillendale Monday to
play in the second amateur-pro tour
ney of the Middle Atlantic P. G. A.
Hillendale is the course on which the
local sectional rounds for the open
championship will be played on May
IL and many of the lads want to
familiarize themselves with the lay
out. The tourney will be played IN
the same manner as the one at In
dian Spring two weeks ago, with each
pro taking as many as three amateur
partners and having three best-ball
scores. Witty Cox brought the new
system to Washington from Long
Island, where it has been in use for
years and where the purse to the
winning pro really amounts to quite
piece of change, with upward OF
100 entries in the Journeys OF the
Long Island P. G. A. Roland Mac
Kenzie tried it in Florida and was
a booster for the idea when he came
back to Washington.
Over at the Washington Golf and
Country Club Eddie Pierce, a new
member and a mediocre golfer, took
a mashie in hand and smacked the
ball into the cup for an eagle deuce
on the par 4 tenth hole. That tenth
has been made in two several times
and is no cinch. The ball cannot be
rolled onto the green. 1t must be In
the air to carry a big trap in front.
Public links golfers will hold
second meeting of their newly formed
Public Parks Golf Association Tues
day night at East Potomac Park,
where dates for the Spring tourney
of the downriver course will be an
nounced and tournament plans dis
cussed. The tourney is slated to start
on May 4 and end on May 8.
Chevy Chase golfers today were to
wind up qualifying rounds for the
French High Commission Cup, open
ing event of the Spring season for the
club golfers. Match play rounds will
open Monday and the final round Is
slated for May 8.

Clever With Putter.

~ poundage during the Winter,
which means that he is pounding
the ball a lot further than he did
last year. But the strongest part
of the Dettweiler game is around
the green's The boy really can putt.
You don't get around a lengthy
course like Congressional in SO whacks
without doing some fancy putting.
Yet that is what Billy did few
days ago, and he followed it up
with a 73, which included a on
the fifth hole and a finish of 3, 4,
8, or two brides out of three holes.
Billy Dettweiler, youngest qualifler
in the national amateur champion
ship of 1882, has been a kid Won
der since he started lambaSting the
ball down those narrow fairways at
the Manor Club. He was Il then,
a skinny boy who was all legs and
arms, but who was good enough to
carve out 70 at Chevy Chase. He
has developed lot since that time,
but so far he hasn't won a major
tourney. He is about ready now, a
far better golfer than he ever has
been, overdue for a major win.

SH|KAT'S DEFEAT
MAY CANCEL SUIT
Loss to Baba Produces New
Twist in Court Tangle.
Dick in Hospital.
BY FRITZ HOWELL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~OLUMBUS, Ohio, April 25.-
Dick Shikat was in the midst
Of new complexities today fol-
lowing his defeat in Detroit
last night by the grimacing Turk,
Ali Bahia, and the consequent loss Of
his claim to the worlds heavyweight
championship.
What effect the defeat would have
on the suit Of Joe Alvarez of Boston,
matchmaker for Promoter Paul
Bowser, against Shikat and Al Haft.
Columbus promoter, was conjectural.
Some said it would end the action
to declare valid the contract Alvarez
says he holds over Shikat and to get
an accounting of Shikats receipts
under Hafts management. Some
said it wouldn't.
Shikat in Hospital.
HAFT and Alvarez each contend
Shikat is their sole property, but
Federal Judge Nell G. Underwood is
the referee in this tangle and he Is
expected to rule next week.
To mix it up further, Shikat. who
was injured in the bout, asserted from
his hospital bed in Detroit that Ali
Baba had fouled him by throwing him
from the ring onto the ringside chairs.
But all must wait until Judge
Underwood decides on the basis OF
testimony, which closed yesterday
until Monday morning.
The testimony brought out inter-
esting data on the inside" workings
Of the mat game, but Shikat, on the
defense, promises more startling dis
closures when he gets chance to give
his version next week.
Say Promoters Pool Interests.
A MONG the interesting charges
aired during the Thursday and
Friday sessions, some in opening argu-
ments by counsel and others in eX-
animation and cross-examination OF
prosecution witnesses, were:

That Shikat, in winning the heavy
weight title March from Dan
OMahoney in Madison Square Gar
den, ignored an order" to lose and
crossed" the Irishman.
That Alvarez, although claiming
that he was Shikat's manager, never
signed contract for match for the
wrestler. never paid him any money
or obtained any matches for him.
The veteran Curley denied on the
stand that Shikat had been ordered
to lose to O'Mahoney, and said he had

n is going in for quite piece Of

4 \ new 81 holes of golf out in the
hills of Virginia overlooking the valley
down which Mosby's raiders rode back

greens on the coL.se built seven years
back by Maj. Richard D. Newman are
to be retained in the new layout being
constructed by Herbert Strong, the
man who is doing the job of rebuilding.
Strong is expected back in WASH
ington next week to 60 over the plans
for the layout with Maj. Clyde M.
Beck, greens chairman, and other club
officials. The three mines are expected
to be ready for play next year. Only
the tenth and eleventh greens will be
retained in the new layout, although
some of the old fairways will be used
in part. It's rather shame, too, that
such a fine hole as the third is going
to be abandoned, for that hole Is one
of the very best two-shotters around
Washington. From the back tee with
any kind Of wind in the face of the

under any circumstances it has been

group of such holes.

Looks Good In New York.

THE youngster who always needs
shave may have a serious Short
coming, but so far it has not been in
dicated and even after such a brief
once-over, Harris is willing to accept
him as good $4,000 worth of catcher,
at least.
As mentioned above, Miles per-
formances stood out in New York,
particularly yesterday. In between
spraying their noses in the dugout,
tle Nationals contrived to put up
their most pitiful exhibition of the
year in dropping that 10-to-2 decision.
Offender No. l was Eddie Linke.
The roly-poly right-hander took an
unmerciful pasting from the Yanks,
who fattened their averages with a
17-hit attack off Ed. So ne-sided
did the game become by the fifth
inning, wher the New Yorks bat
ted around to score five runs, that
Harris decided to leave Linke in the
box for that and a couple other
reasons. Perhaps the best was that
nobody of any proven worth was
around to do better. Then again
Bucky figured that Ed might work
himself into shape more quickly by
putting in a nine-inning stretch.

giving Manager Bucky Harris the long
awaited sense of satisfaction that he
has a capable backstop to sub for
Bolton.
Walter got his chance to step into
the picture when the Nationals stop

had missed only couple innings
since the start of the campaign, was
ordered to bed Thursday with one of
the more severe of the clubs colds.

the former Brooklyn and Chattanooga

CHAPTER VIII

Newtown didn't close it's shops the Nay Honey Harmon arrived to shed her cilematic glory over It's modest bnvirons. Nor did its mayor meet mer train with the keys to the city. But what the town lacked in civic welcome, the residents made up by kleir fnassed attendance at the Pal- hce. Complete from whole families 10 Linda Bourne and Pete Gard- finer, they waited patiently in line For the tickets that would give them EIrst-hand Knowledge of what a real movie star could do, as an enter Rainer.
 Unfortunately there was little ehat this one could do that night. Nrue, she gave them an excellent chance to see how lovely one small kOlden-faired dynamo could be in the flesh. A glittering halo in her famous blond hair, a sheath of white satin, a coat of snow ermine and the famous diamond bracelets did well by the pictures, but the husky tones that only Honey Har- men boasted were lost. The rose- bud mouth smiled appealingly. Blue eyes looked out sadly from under nearly-inch-long blackened cyelasl1es while Honey's manager explained to Q disappointed audi eace that Honey was i'll. Brave little thing that she was, she felt she could not let her public down, but speak she could not. A cold had developed into something seri- otis and she had lost her voice. She spread her hands, bowed and blew them kisses and became less real &o them than her shadowed self that appeared later on the screen.
 Pete, sitting beside Linda in the darkgened theater, was, for once, more conscious of the picture than the girl beside him. He watched the screen with absorbed attention, and slipped the ever ready scrap of paper from his pocket to make surreptitious notes as the figure of the famous heroine glided, swept and gtormed across the silver sheet. "Bravol" he said once un- dor his breath.
 That night, when the picture was
