In addition, Bill Coyle. WNIAL

The only exceptions to the broad

halfback position, is the only pros
pective started not in the midget
class. Hagerty has built his aerial
attack entirely around Keating.
Ferrara, who is fighting Peanuts"
Sheeran for one of the halfback
posts, even has a physical advantage
over Sheeran, who is reputed as not
being able to carry on as long as
Ferrara. The latter is supposed to
be the hardest runner of the team.
Frank Meglen, 210-pound back, is
waging a battle with Duff for the
fullback assignment, but the latter Is
showing the same good form with
which he ended last seasons play.
MARYLAND'S SQUAD, repeating
A'A yesterdays bill of fare, was to
go through a long signal drill this
afternoon looking to the scrimmage
tomorrow, after which, Coach Frank
Dobson and his aides will decide on q
tentative first team.
As has been the case in all the
practice sessions, two groups Of as
near equal strength as it was possible
to make them, will battle tomorrow.
However, it will be different starting
next Monday when team play will be
stressed.
While it is evident that letter men
will get most of the tentative first
team jobs and hold them, especially
in the backfield, the line is likely to
undergo frequent changes as the
sophs improve. DobSon has been
pleased with the work Of Bill Wolfe
and Mike Surgent, letter men, and
Alex Males, soph, as interfering
guards.

- ARDEN CITY, Long Island,
September 18.-Britain's BAN
ner, sadly worn two weeks
ago by an overwhelming
American victory in the Walker Cup
matches, waves high today at Garden
City, where Jock Mclean, young Scot
tish whisky salesman, has installed
himself as major threat to lift the
United States amateur golf crown for
the first time in Is years.
The notwithstanding and fine iron
play of the 25-year -old Glasgow man
was arrayed today against the IRON
hearted fairway splitting game Of
George Voigt, 43-year-old former
Washington man, who learned the
game in between bitches as an en-
ploye of Uncle Sam in the basement
of the Treasury Building.
The other half of the draw found
two Walker Cup teammates arrayed
against each other, where Johnny
Goodman. the red-hot choice to win
the crown. clashed with lanky Johnny
Fischer, the postman's son from Fort
Thomas. a nickels worth of walk
across the Ohio from Cincinnati. The
four were to play 36 holes or less to-
day with the two winners to battle
over the 36-hole route tomorrow for
the title relinquished last April by
Lawson Little, who, by the way, is
around watching the boys do their
stroking.

Giants Virtually In.

A s A result the Giants put on their
heaviest hitting and runmaking
spree OF the year, walloped five Brook
lyh pitchers for % hits and a 1873 VIC
tory, and took a commanding FIVE
game lead over the rest of the Ma
tional League pack.
With the second-place Cardinals
and third-place Cubs idle, the victory
made it virtually an impossibility to
overtake Terry's troupe. With only
10 games to play, they need only 500
ball the rest of the way. Here's the
set-up as Of today:
Evening star., 1936-09-18
Mclean Improving.


Mclean the dark horse has been
AA getting better with every round,
since he missed elimination by Levi
Yoder by the margin of half inch or
so. The young Scotsman, blond and
sharp-featured, played 81 holes of this
tough course yesterday in 3 under
par. No man in the tournament has
done as we'll. Each round has found
him a shade better than the last, and
If he keeps on improving he may be
the first contestant in the tournament
to crack 10. But he is up against a
rugged customer in Voigt, the guy with
ice water in his veins and the low
flying iron shots that are just what
the doctor ordered for this course.
George has found Garden City exactly
to his liking. but his golf hasn't been
as spectacular as that of Mclean. who
intends to tour this country before he
goes back to Scotland. He may take
the United States amateur crown with
him, for he is the biggest threat since
Phil Perkins went to the final in 1923
to take big shellacking from Bob
JULES. 6ut tllctc~ ISL any jules
around nowadays. and the way Nc
Lean is playing he can take any mar
left in the tournament. He plays In
the typical British style, cutting all
his shots wee bit with clipped swing
the essential factor of which is ac-
curacy. He is far from the best put
ter in the tournament, but his iron
shots, accurately hit with fine bite,
have left him comparatively little to
do on the greens.

" Terry for the first time in
three years, they're apparently
out to make it unanimous.
First of. they're supporting him co
well that they've virtually assured him
pennant winner this season. Now
they have gone a step further and Just
about proved him right in regard to
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
1t was two years ago that Terry
wanted to know, Are the Dodgers
still in this league?" They were then
very much. For they blew the Giants
right out of the National League pen
nant in 1894.
But two years is long time. Casey
Stengel's Brooklyn beauties certainly
were not In the same league as the
Giants yesterday. In fact. for all the
opposition they gave the New Yorkers,
they weren't much better than class
c at best.

Riddell No Sef-IIn.


RUT Mclean Is in because he played
fine golf. He had to play fine
golf to whip 48-year- -old John Riddell
Of Garden City. Anything else would
have showed him back into the gallery,
for Riddell carried him to the sew
enteenth, where the Scotsman planted
an iron second squarely in the middle
Of the green to win the hole and
match with birdie. Riddell was
over par for the round, a display of
golf that would have won any of the
other matches, so you can see how
Mclean played.
The semi-final is quite a justification
OF the Walker Cup team selections.
Three American Walker Cup team
members are in the semi-final and
the No. 2 man on the British team
Is the other of the quartet. So the
pickers didn't do so badly, after all.
Harold Hilton was the last British
entrant to win the American amateur
championship. It happened back In
1911. Mclean can bridge the gap.
He Is good enough.

Goodman Is Favored.


GOODMAN is the choice today to
beat Fischer, but there may be
some fun in that one before Johnny
Fischer shakes the hand that shook
the hand of Bobby Jones in defeat
once. Johnny Fischer, for example,
has been about as consistent as Man
o. War around this course. He hap
pens to be just six strokes above par
for six rounds, the best any con-
testant has been able to do Good
man, who has been licking all his
opponents before the sixteenth hole,
hasn't scored nearly as we'll. But
Goodman plays match play, while
Fischer is one of the great medal golf
ers OF the world Fischer, now in
the semi-final, has gone further than
he ever has gone before. Goodman
went to the final at Baltimore in
1882, where Sandy Somerville whipped
him.
Scotty Campbell, the hot boy from
Seattle, is out of the tournament
today because Voigt outstroked him
through the first nine late yesterday,
where Campbell had been figured to
beat George and go to the semi-final
Ray Billows, so-called Cinderella man
from Poughkeepsie, also is out because
John Goodman turned on the heat
over the last three holes yesterday,
and Billows began exploring the traps.

A Yeor For the 1861 R-K-O Program

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. Jesse
L. Lasky will make six important
pictures annually for R.-K.-O.
under his new producing alliance
with that organization.
The pioneer moviemaker will
head his own unit, Jesse L. LaSky
Productions, under the newly
signed R.-K.-O. contract.
The LaSky schedule for 1936-37
will include one Francis Lederer
production and. at least, one pic
ture starring Nino Martini, who is
under personal contract to the
veteran Snowman.
Joan Fontaine, new feminine
discovery, will also be featured in
several of the Lasky-R.-K.-O. pro-
ductions.
Detailed production plans will
be announced soon following the
producers return from Palm
Springs, where he is resting and
studying story material before
launching his new organization.
