n YEW YORK, July 15.-Harry

win his seni-flnal match from

rivals in the days other semi-final
match. The four semi -fnalists justi-
fed the tournament seedlings, Low,
Heffner, Gillespie and Fishback being
rated l, 2, 3 and in that order.
Gillespie was the only one pressed to
win yesterday, dropping set to Mel
win SchWartzman, 3-6, before taking
two at 6-2, Go. Low conquered
Marvin Kantrowitz, one of the East's
most prominent juniors last season,

May Get Private Club.

"A ND he has an "in" at one Of the
private clubs near Washington
which eventually may result in his
acquisition of that club.
Leofler has retained his public
golf concessions here since the first
nine-hole course was built by Walter
J. Travis down near Hains Point. A
former officer in charge Of Public
Buildings and Grounds dts all under
the National Park Service now told
A that Leoffler was the only man
to put in q business-like bid for the
golf operations.
He has done a good job with the
material at hand, even though the
golf hardly measures up to the best
country club standards. But then
you can't keep public course, where
Is high IS a thousand people play q
day, in the pink Of condition. Divots
won't be replaced, and so on, and
the guy who pays his two bits figures
he has . right to do as much damage
Is he pleases.
Leofner's latest venture in the golf
promotion field is a bid for the ma
ttonal public links championship Of
1899. His bid IS in, but Baltimore
also is bidding. It's a cinch that
the 1889 title tourney will come either
to East Potomac Park or to Balti-
more.

public links has done fairly we'll in
the IS or 16 years he's been in the

And the funny part of it all is that
he never has hit golf ball in serious
way in his life. Golf, to him, is a
business and it has turned out a
big business for the gent who ped
died box lunches for Government
clerks not so many years back.
Today Leoffler operates three of
the four big municipal golf projects
in Washington; he runs one of the
biggest swimming pools in the town,
his driving ranges and his Tom Thumb
putting courses are crowded all day
long and half the night and the man
has become the Capitals premier golf

With Towns appearing a bit thin

he realizes there is a growing de-

those at East Potomac and Rock Greek
