and for the third time was defeated
with Furnishing series of crab holds
and the spin.
Bruins, a strong and handsome
youngster, responded to rough tactics,
bit out of his line because in previous
matches here he took the hero role
and let Londos do the dirty work.
Bruins Breaks Arm Lock.
Early in the going he was downed
with Furnishing arm lock, but broke
that by main strength and carried
the fight to Londos until caught in

and gave Londos the edge after So

You don't often hear Of that ST.
yard eighth hole at Chevy Chase being
made in three shots. For one thing
the sheer distance of the hole makes
it tough par-5, and for another, with
those watered fairways it's quite job
to get home in three shots. But Walter
F. Chappell made it in three strokes.
He put together two fine wooden-club
shots and holed a mashie- e-niblick third
for the eagle. Only very few men
among them Bob Barnett-have ac-
complished that trick.

FEDERAL GOLFERS
GIVES DUB CHANCE
Plan Division of Evening
Star Tourney to Handle
Glass B. PLAYERS.

To take care Of the hundreds of
golfers who are not of championship
caliber officials of the Federal Golf
Association, who co-operated with The
Star In running the Government
match-play tournament this year, are
considering for next years tourney
formation Of team class for men who
do not make the championship squads.
They haven't yet formed any def
mite idea on how this class will be
limited or whether team candidates
can be interchanged between class A
and class teams, but the men who
were not quite good enough to make
the top teams are clamoring for q
chance to play. This is the reason
these in charge of the tourney are toy
ing with the idea of two classes Of
team championships.
Expect IS Teams Next Year.
Twenty-four four-man teams played
in four divisions in The Star tourney
this year Division victors were Com
merce. War. Treasury and Accounts
and Deposits. The latter team licked
Commerce in the final round, and
demonstrated its class all through the
tourney by winning all its matches.
Next year, with the impetus of the
initial highly successful tourney of
1888 behind them. those in charge of
the affair look for at least IS teams
IN the title chase. The schedule will
start and end earlier, for this years
tourney did not get under way until
the second week in August. Many
OF the matches we're played through
the hottest part of the year, but there
were no defaults because Of weather
and no postponements for any reason.
Redick Again to Direct.
Again next year Charles P. Redick
who did an outstanding job in arrang-
ing the schedule and handling the
countless details that crop up in a
tournament Of this character, will be
director of the affair He will be as
sisted by other officers of the Federal
Golf Association and members of The
Star sports staff. And again the
tourney will be played over the courses
OF at least half dozen private clubs.
1t would be asking too much to expect
men who play on their vacation time
to use the limited facilities Of the
public courses.

REDSKINS UNABLE
TO ERASE HOODOO
Edwards Out, Face Eagles
for Fifth Game Minus
One or More Stars.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

For the fifth time in as many starts
this season. the Washington Redskins
will enter a National Football League
game at less than full strength when
they line up against the Philadelphia
Eagles at Griffith Stadium Sunday.
The improbability of Capt. Turk
Edwards returning to action this week
means that the pro champions have
yet to start game In which one or
more of their key players haven't
been missing. But that they still are
on top of the Eastern division and ap-
parently we'll on their way to repeating
as sectional champs is tribute both
to Coach Ray Flaherty and reserves
who have risen to the occasion.
Baugh and Smith Miss Lot.
Riley Smith. Sammy Baugh, Max
Krause. Charlie Malone and now Ed
wards compose the keymen group, the
absence Of one or more of whom has
marked every game. Yet. chronology
cally, the Redskins have Jared as
follows:
Beat Philadelphia, 1928, in the
opening game without Riley Smith
and-for the last half-without
Sammy Baueh.
Tied Brooklyn, 1916, without either
Smith or Baugh.
Beat Cleveland, 37-l3, again with
out Smith or Baugh.
Lost to New York. 7-1o, without
Smith.
Beat Detroit. 7-5, without Edwards,
Max Krause and-to a great extent
Malone.
There may be reason to suspect that
with either Smith or Baugh in there
against Brooklyn, the Dodgers might
have been beaten instead Of merely
tied, and that had Smith been avail
able for use against the Giants, the
Alabama star would have found some
way to make up the 3-point difference
which sent his teammates down to
their only defeat.
Flaherty and Rockies Praised.
In other words, had the Redskins
been able to use every one OF their
80 players under contract in every
game it's more than possible, yea,
probable, that today they would be
boasting a 1000 percentage with five
straight victories. Which isn't to in
dicate that their .750 record of three
victories, tie and lone defeat is bad,
For that record, F1aherty and sew
eral rockies are due the most credit
Flaherty apparently has played his
subs perfectly, intrusting key duties to
those who knew what to do with their
opportunities. Most striking, of course
has been the remarkable success OF
Bill Hartman, who has blossomed into
a successful passer and brainy quar-
terback.
Last Sundays victory over the Lions
was due largely to the fact that capa-
BILE line reserves had been developed
for requirements for Edwards and
Malone. Bill Wilkin henceforth will be
no risk at all on his showing against
The Lions and Bill Young gave further
protection. And. from the perform
ances put up by Bob McChesney, Bob
Masterson and Hal Bradley. it appears
that the Redskins have adequate end
reserves.

1T will be a unique and inter-
esting experiment" Dorais said.
The plan provides for an official
scorer who would keep record Of
yardage gained.
Those who object to the point
after touchdown contend that it
results in too many games being
decided by incidents variously
described as luck, technicality or
accident.
Proponents of the point after
touchdown argue that 1t is tradi-
ton of the sport and that a one
point reward for the team with an
accurate kicker or converter Of any
other kind is fair enough.

SPORT AVERAGING
$4|0 DAILY LOSS
Shubert Is Sharing Deficit,
Close Games Make Some
Fans SkepticaI.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,

AS6OClkte0 FIeSS SpOrLS writer.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-Mike Jacobs,
who is known as q man with a keen
eye for q dollar, has discovered the
perfect scheme for reducing his ex-
cess profits from the prize fight in
dustry and, in roundabout way,
giving the income tax collector a
licking.
Mike. along with Lee Shubert, the
theatrical man, is putting up the
money for those dazzling exhibitions
OF Jai alai pronounced hi-lD seen
nightly and Saturday matinees at
the Hippodrome. It's been going on
for q couple of months now, and the
nightly loss is satisfying $4OO or
better.
The nightly nut" including sal
aries of the swarthy men who bang
the ball about. advertising and hire of
the hall, is $1,000, and the receipts
have averaged around $500. At this
rate it will, of course, take some time
for the proprietors to get back their
original investment Of $4,000.
Will Keep Going = Year.
So pleased are Jacobs and Shubert
with the reception given the favorite
Latin sport by the thrill-seekers of
Sixth avenue that they plan to keep
1t going at least for another year. BY
that time they should be getting a
whale OF laugh at Uncle Sans ex-
pense.
II you are not familiar with jai alai,
1t Is something like handball, only
the players attach basket-like con-
traption to their arms that mas the
general effect Of a slingshot, sending
the old goatskin against the wall at
the approximate speed of light.
In the advertisements they call j.
the game Of dodging DEATH" because
II one OF the players should fail to
duck and get hit on the head he
would be goner. The ball is as hard
as a rock, made of tightly wound
rubber covered with goatskin.
1t Is an exciting thing to watch a
time or two. The Cubans and Mexi-
cans and Spaniards. who were brought
up by the boatload to introduce the
game, play with great verve. The only
thing is that-well. some of the more
skeptical Of the Sixth avenue, or box
ing set, have sneaking suspicion.
They are not fully convinced, in other
words, that jai alai was not exposed
at some time or other to the wrestling
game.
Proclaims Players Honesty.
The scores, they point out, are lit
tie too close as general thing, never
stopping to realize that maybe all jai
alai professionals are just very evenly
matched.
One Of the Hippodrome matadors
was picked out at random and asked
what he would do If. just for instance,
somebody should offer him q century
note to toss a game. His reply was
steady and full of meaning. Il would
hit him on the nose, very hard" And
for emphasis he displayed his salary
arm. which looked large and over
developed. That seemed to settle the
question.
We have an organization" he said,
which takes 50 much OF our salary
each week. When We are old and can
no longer play jai alai. We are taken
care Of. If a player is caught cheat
ing once he never can play again, and
he does not receive money when he Is
old"

become ABOUT the cropping scores ana
the mounting skill Of the gals who
play in the little affairs staged by the
Womens District Of Columbia Golf
Association, that even record
breaking card like the 76 shot by
Betty Meckley yesterday at Kenwood
gets only an enthusiastic nod.
Now course record-breaking is no
cinch. The girl who sets new course
record must play good deal of golf.
Yet offhand I can recall three Of them
being shattered to bits this year, in
addition to Betty's 76 made in the
Times Cup tourney at Kenwood. Helen
Dettweiler set a new course mark at
Elkridge, to win the Maryland State
medal back in June. She broke the
Rodgers Forge record couple of
weeks back to win the medal in the
Mid-Atlantic and then Marion Brown
set new record (unofficiaD bettering
Helen's mark by two shots. But that
isn't all. Not by full brassie shot.
Time was-and not so far back either
when any set score below 80 would
win one Of the major tournaments.
Nowadays the girls have to
score in the low los to win, and
ties are becoming more frequent
as the efficiency Of handicap
ping increases.
The twin net 72s made yesterday at
Kenwood in the Times cup affair is
just an indication Of the way the scor-
ing winds are blowing and it won't
be so far in the future when some
girl is going to turn in q net score
down In the COS.
Weekly Playing Well.
Betty Meckley's comeback in the
dying weeks Of the competitive season
also is one of the high spots of the
fag end of the tournament parade.
It's no secret that Mrs. Meckley, even
though apparently playing as we'll as
ever, has been able to win almost
nothing this year For the first time
in a good many years she is without
q title. No Middle Atlantic, no District
and no Maryland crown adorns the
Meckley brow, which is something un-
usual when you consider the frequency
with which the tall Indian Spring
matron won all these titles in former
years.
Yet now, at the end Of the
season. she seems to have found
the spark which she lacked
earlier in the year and again is
playing in her best form.
Betty was the best scorer on the
Washington team in the Philadelphia
match few days back. And yester-
day she set course record at Ken
wood that is likely to stand for quite
a while-a l under par 76-to win
the gross award in the low handicap
division by four shots.
Nor must you overlook the 70 carded
by determined Mrs. Myron Davy, who
broke 80 in competition for the first
time.
