District League Under Way.

ON THE ELLIPSE yesterday eight
teams Of Washingtons section of
the Junior Legion League inaugurated
their championship Each team--seven
OF them sponsored by posts of the Dis
trict of Columbia Department and one
representative of the Drum Corps
of the Sons Of the demonstrated
hopeful of playing through to a place
in the national championship. The
local champion in the Junior Legion
League goes to a regional play-off, the
winners of these play-offs go to the
sectional mi-finals-they are battles
in which the two best Of the East meet
and the two finest of the West oppose
and the survivors clash in the big
contest of the year.
The District never has had a team
get to the national final, out twice it
has sent teams to regional series and
once it had a nine carry on to a sec
tional set.
Getting to sectional play-off is an
honor, indeed, for the base ball played
in the national circuit is of high quail
lty. In fact, these Junior Legion
League youngsters, for age, play the
fastest kind of base ball.
The character of their game well
may be realized from the contrlbu-
tions the Junior Legion League has
made to the major leagues in the last
few years. Bob Feller, the kid pitching
marvel with the Indians, is product
of the circuit, and so is Buddy Lewis,
our oWnvNationals' third baSeman.
Bobby Doerr, the sparkling second
sacker of the Red SoX is another. Also
Phil Cavarretta, the initial baseman
Of the Cubs, and there are several
other graduates of the organization in
big time.
Sponsored by posts Of the American
Legion, playing under strict eligibility
rules and directed by coaches of abili-
ty, the boys have greater opportunity
to learn the rudiments of base ball,
polish the mechanical part of their
play and perfect their technique than
do the youngsters of run-of-the mine
sandlot mines. No wonder their play
stands out.

BIC IDEA IS BEHIND
WIDESPREAD PLAY
No-Hit Game Marks Opening
of Washington's League
of Eight Teams.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

BOUT dozen years ago genial
n gentleman of ample girth, one
~ Dan Sewers of indianapolis,
4 A came along with the great idea
of making the youth of America more
interested in America by making them
more interested in the great Amer
ican pastime-base ball. Dan then
was the national athletic officer of the
American Legion and also was vitally
interested in the Americanism program
Of the vast veterans organization Get
the youngsters on the play fields for
good, clean sport instead of lettering
where mischief breeds" was his plea
and Dan ardently plunged into the
business of selling his idea.
He didn't fail. Today the Junior
Legion League is q going concern in
every big city of the country Where
the population thins, it is organized
on county bases, and for boys up to
II years old it has become one of
the greatest sports organizations the
United States ever has seen.
The Junior Legion League, aside from
affording its members a playground
enjoyable in every sport sense, incul-
Gates in the boys true idea of decency
and loyalty one to another and in so
doing develops in them a keen appre-
citation Of the democracy that is
America.
Dan Sewers planned we'll as he put
across the Junior Legion League and
the thousands of posts Of the Amer
lean Legion have contributed greatly
to the betterment of America in fur
thering Sewers plan by sponsoring
clubs for the youngsters of their COM
munities.

Requests for Copies Flow In.

SINCE the 4s-paee booklet, which
- instructs by means of pictures
and the printed word, how and how
not to do a good job of caddying
was published two months ago, Walsh
has received dozens of requests for
copies from all sections of the country.
Far from being ornery little cusses
VINO merely go through the motions,
the youngsters are determined TO
please even the most uncertain-tem-
pered of their employers.
A number Of requests, written on
penny post cards, swanky club sta
tionary and one on brown wrapping
paper, have come from caddy masters
who intend to see that their boys don t
overlook the opportunity of tying up
practical experience with book learn
ing. However, most of them are from
the caddies themselves.
Caddy Shortage Looms.
60 FAR. caddies in the immediate
~ neighborhood lead in number Of
requests, but New York City is run
ming a good second in volume of cor
respondence with the department
which mails out the booklets.
While the quality of caddying prom
ises to deprive buffers of the consola-
ton of blaming the boys for sour
scores, there may be lack of guam
tity, Walsh says. Older boys who
turned to caddying during the lean
period, have found better paying jobs,
reports from industrial centers show
indicating that an acute shortage OF
bagtoterS may result.

Dudley's Recovery Amazing.

AtSSOVSiy HhAaAah6.
I'D PLAYED the finest shot I've
ever seen on the eighteenth
hole at the Wiltshire Club OF Los An
geles," says Witty. He didn't win
the tournament with the shot, but for
sheer nerve and fawless execution it
was the finest shot I've seen in 4
good many years of looking at fine
golf shots.
He came to the eighteenth hole
in the l.. A. open of 1881 with par
4 to get well up in the money. That
eighteenth is tough baby, around
$50 yards or so, with the green across
big barranca or dry ditch
ED cut his tee shot into the rough
at the right, and from where he stood
he had to make high pitch to about
18 feet of green.
yep. 18 feet, that's all, and it had to
hit and stop, from $50 yards away.
He played that ball 50 well that it
stopped only IL feet from the pin. No,
he didn't sink the putt.
Sure, I've seen Jones make some
OF his great shots. I saw Sarazen
make that double eagle on the fif-
teenth at Augusta a couple years
back. But that was one of those
things. Gene was just banging away
and the ball went into the cup. That
shot by Dudley was the finest I've
ever seen"
Then, There Is Mcleod.
- K, but how about the iron shot
you played to the sixth green
at Baltusrol last year? That was a
honey, eh. 1t saved you a par where
you might have taken a s.
Say. this guy Mcleod can play
golf shots" said Wifi. 'He knows
as much about chipping as any man
I've ever seen. These old-timers like
Freddie have plenty on the ball. They
really can play golf shots that make
kids like myself look funny"

Uncle Sam tossed him loose from the
Navy in 1919, after he'd seen the war
from the engine room of battle
cruiser, but Witty Cox, Kenwood pro,
can pick out one shot from the thou
sands hes seen as the finest Of 'em
all Which in itself is unusual, for
when you ask the average big-time
pro about the best shot he's seen he
starts to hem and haw and ends up
usually by missing the point alto
gether.
Strangely enough WHY'S best shot

Sarazen or Guldahl or Hagen or any of
the guys who've gotten the big head
lines over the years. It's about Ed
Dudley, pro at the Philadelphia Coun-

A good journeyman golfer, but one
