Golfers Cheer
Weather Break

Today's drop in the tempera'
ture, caused by the all-night rain,
was a welcome relief to golfers
competing in today's matches of
the District championship at the
Congressional Country Club.
Conditions under foot were none
too conducive for golf, but the
contestants would rather take
their chances with a Soggy course
than wade through an 18-kole
round under blistering sun, such
as yesterday.
Playing in today'S champion
ship SemifinalS were three mem
beers of the home club-Miss Helen
Dettweiler, Mrs. J. o. Rhyme and
Mrs. Roland r. Mackenzie. The
first two were locked in a duel.
Mrs. Mackenzie was opposing Mrs.
Betty P. Meckley, Indian Spring
Miss Dettweiler yesterday de-
throned the champion, Miss Wini-
fred Faunce, Manor Club, 2 up,
never being down after capturing
the first two holes. Mrs. Rhyme
upset Mrs. Leo j. Walper, Ken
wood, 4 and 8; Mrs. Meckley elimi-
mated Mrs. L. G. Pray, Manor, 3
and 2, and Mrs. Mackenzie was
taken 10 holes by Mrs. j. F. Dow
dali, Congressional. Indeed, Mrs.
Mackenzie was forced to play q
fine chip to within six inches Of
the eighteenth pin for a winning
par 4 to square the match. She
then reached the edge Of the
green on the par 5 first hole and
Clipped up close to get down
in a single putt. At that, Mrs.
Dowdall blew q short putt that
would have halved the hole and
prolonged the match.

Basebau'S
Tragedy,
Drama!
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

You talk about
drama, a n d about
tragedy; why, sports
abound in both.
Sometimes you find
them on the field and
ofttimes in the club
house.
Didn't I see Of Tom
Zachary prowling around
near the Washington locker
room only yesterday? He
wasn't just paying a visit!
Isn't Fred Marberry out
there on the mound for Wash
ington today tearing off one
of the greatest pieces of drama
you could find in almost any
walk of American life?
And didn't tragedy stalk
right into this office only this
week when a gentleman called
I haven't seen since we were
beardless youths?
He is the father Of a 49,
year-old boy now.
The lad played a pretty swell
game Of baseball in high school,
now and again connecting for
home runs and otherwise standing
out little above the crowd.
He attended a baseball school in
Catalina Island, the real estate
belonging to the owner Of the
Chicago cubs, who conducts very
pleasant and health-giving resort,
as we'll as trains his ball club
there.
That Golden Chance
Boys were invited to attend the
school, taking the long trek on
their own and living at the ex-
penSe of the hosiery during their
novitiate, with the golden chance
dangled before them Of possibly
getting into professional ball-on
q very minor scale at first.
The lads who looked the best
would be kept on the island and
in the hostelry with small salaries
so that they might play twilight
baseball for the edification Of the
stream Of tourists.
My friends son had made the
grade and was retained. Mean
while his game hadn't been bad; in
fact had been fair. But recently
he got his release and the bad
news had travelled to Washington.
Couldn't something be done
about it? Couldn't a letter be
written to Mr.. Phillip Wrigley,
owner of the Cubs as well as all of
Catalina, including it's spacious
hoStelry? ......
Is baseball a racket or a sport?
my friend dropped in to ask me
through his indignation over his
boy being released. =. outright.
Easing the BloGO
All track was lost of the fact
that the boy sought his chance, got
his trial and eventually his re-
lease. No one sent for him. No
one, according to the peculiar
form of baseball's contracts, was
obliged to keep him five seconds,
whether he hit a home run day
or committed six errors.
"They can't do this to my
boy" dad seethed at me as he
unfOlded his tale of woe, add
ing. "why, he was the leading
player at high school and ire
mendOusly popular!"
Well, maybe they can't do this
to Little Chester!
