GOLF RANKS HERE
BADLY JUMBLED
Selection of No. | Amateur
of District Must Await
September Meet.
Nv WALTER McCALLUM.

With only one more important golf
tournament coming up for decision
this year among the simon pures OF
the Capital and surrounding precincts.
the boys who play for the fun OF the
game are pointing their training ses-
sions at the sectional qualification
rounds for the national championship
at Congressional on August 30.
The District amateur title chase Is
scheduled for Congressional during
the third week in September and out
of that tourney will come the gent
who will be ranked as the top golfer
OF the town for 1888
You couldn't put the finger on any
one of the amateurs on their deeds so
far this year and list him as the boss
Of the simon pures.
No Standout This Year.
There's been no George Voight
around this year, winning all the
tournaments. nor has any one come
close to Billy Shea's record of 1897,
when the tall Congressional kid won
the District and Mid Atlantic crowns
in single year of campaigning.
Instead Baltimore youniester-ls-
year-old Otto Greiner-has been the
big shot in the sectional tournaments.
Bobby Brownell, the tow-headed In
dian Spring youngster, hasn't been
very far back.
The situation is all jumbled in so
far as picking a leader of the links
parade is concerned Back in May
two tournaments were held Levi
Yoder. the tall man from Linville,
N. c., who performs from Kenwood,
won the Washington Golf and Coun-
try Club invitation. Claude Rippy. an
other Tarheel. who halls from Con-
gressional. grabbed all the marbles
at Chevy Chase. Greiner won the
Mid-Atlantic with Brownell the run
ner-up. and Brownell won the Mid=
Atlantic junior. Dick Myer won the
District Junior and Buddy Sharkey
romped through the interscholast.c
title tourney.
Shea's Crown in Danger.
Shea has been behind the 8-ball in
so far as winning is concerned, and if
he doesn't play better golf he'll drop
his District amateur crown.
So any one can see without the aid
OF a telescope that no man has won
enough to be rated as the leader. All
of which makes the coming District
championship the big tournament of
the year. If either Rippy, Yoder.
Brownell or Sharkey wins it. he will
be the top amateur Of the year.
The District championship comes
/ three weeks after the sectional rounds
for the amateur championship and
Congressional gets two of the big
tournaments Of the year. Perhaps the
top local man in the sectional rounds
also will be the big shot of the District
title affair. That's happened before.

RIVALRY IS SHARP
|NHAMBLETON|AN
Fast Lot to Oppose McLin
in Classic Leading Big
Goshen Harness Meet.
Sy TIE Associated Press.

GOSHEN. N Y. Aug s.-Goshen's
second grand circuit meeting of the
year gets under way at W. H. Canes
Good Time Park today in a rather
quiet fashion
Before 1t ends Saturday the Swear
old trotting championship for the year
viii be settled. about 500 900 in purses
will be distributed to horsemen. and
crowds such as are seen seldom. if
ever, in the larger cities around the
circuit will pour into this quiet little
country town.
The reason for 1t all is the 18th
Hambletonian Stake. which viii be
raced Wednesday afternoon.
That is by all odds, the greatest
American harness race The purse is
about $40 .000-once it was nearly
twice as much-and because its fame
has been spread by expert publicity
methods. it draws annually crowd oil
between 10000 and $4,000. Naturally
the owners and trainers want to win
it more than any other race of the
year.
Sheppard Keen for Victory.
One Of them. Lawrence B. Sheppard
master OF the Hanover (Pa) Shoe
Farms, already has spent nearly As
much as he can hope to win just to
have real contender In the race.
Hanover has won the coveted prize
twice. with Hanover's Bertha in 1890
and with Shirley Hanover. which set
the race record of 2:0l12 last year.
Seeking a third triumph. Sheppard
recently paid Cane $4,000 for McLin
one of the favorites. and agreed to
add $4,000 more If the son of Mr..
McElwyn wins. First money will bt
about $4,000.
Chief rival OF McLin is expected
to be Long Key. winner Of the Ma
tional Stallion Stakes at Cleveland,
but beaten recently by McLin a
Asawam Park. Long Key, owned by
E. J. Merkle of Columbus. Ohio. will
be driven by Ben White, the only
driver ever to win the Hambletonian
twice.
Dozen Likely to Start.
Not more than IL of the A eligibles
are expected to parade to the post
Wednesday. In addition to the cwc
top favorites, the horses figured tc
have a chance of winning include

water that otherwise would serve rs

Pennsylvania has law affecting
that. No angler is allowed more than
so minnows a day.
Fishing Rights In Potomac.
Fishing rights on the Potomac River
again have been questioned by West
Virginia residents, who claim that
they should be allowed to fish in the
river (which beyond a doubt Is owned
by Maryland without complying with
Maryland statutes. They claim that
the old compact of 1888 opened up
certain sections of the river to them.
Maryland claims to the contrary.
Legal precedent all Is in favor
Of Maryland.
In 1896 the Court Of Appeals of
Maryland rendered a decision to the
effect that the compact of 1875 is null
and void in so far as it applies to the
river. and ruled that Maryland has a
right to legislate as to when and in
what manner fish can be taken from
its waters. In 1909 the United States
Supreme Court ruled that the Poto-
mac to high-water mark on the other
shore belongs to Maryland.
West Virginia residents have re-
quested that they be allowed to fish
the Potomac without Maryland
license. and E. Lee Lecompte, State
game warden, said he would recon-
mend to the General Assembly that
this be granted provided West Vir-
ginia would give Maryland residents
reciprocity rights on tributary streams
to a distance Of one-half mile above
the Potomac. West Virginia authori-
ties refused this.

Tobin Throws Crucial Punch
In Struggle With Terrymen.

Jimmy Tobin, character composed
Of cast iron. threw the punch that
broke the Giants spirit Then, when
the champions were down. the Pirates
Jumped upon them and gave them a
shave and round haircut apiece. They
counted out the men Of Terry and they
did not stop counting at 10. They
went right on to 10. That was the
score of the second game-13 to 3.
Beaten by Tobin in the opener, the
Giants played through the nightcap
like tortured wraiths in the 18th layer
of Dante's He'll. Line drives Whistled
around their ears Ground balls skit-
tered between their legs. The great
Carl Hubbell was shelled from the
hummock. and the not-so- great Clydell
Castleman was beaten to the ground
1t was the way the Giants lost
that saddened their clients. They
lost with an air Of great finality. They
seemed anxious that there should
he no mistake about the fate of the
pennant.
They broke their hearts swinging
st Tobin's soft stuff in the first
game. James gave them only four
bits. One was a home run by Melvin
OFT in the second inning. The next
hit came in the sixth. There was
one in the seventh and another in
the eighth.

Who can go on and on. Ten or IL
innings of scoreless ball is lust a
union job for this chunky fugitive
from the Yankee chain gang. In two
hours of sheer wet heat. which wilted
his shirt and almost melted the
leather OF his belt, Tobin never
weakened.
The score was 2 to |. most of
the way. This gave the Giants a
chance, and kept their hopes up
making the blow all the heavier
when Tobin failed to yield the tying
run and the Pirates broke loose with
three-run rally in the ninth inning
