RumpIe Sets Golf,
Angling Marks

Bill Rumple, Congressional's
big hitter, is back in town after a
golfing fishing trip to Old Point
Comfort, where Bill apparently
broke couple of records. He hit
a tee shot across both water
hazards at the sixth hole at the
Chamberlin course-which hasn't
been done before-scoring a II.
And he caught channel bass
which he was told weighed 96
pounds. "It was weighed in the
hotel" Bill says, land weighed in
at So pounds. That fish was
horse"
Wonder if Bill knows that the
world record channel bass weigh
ed around rs pounds, caught on
rod and reel? And that If he
can prove his fish weighed 96
pounds Bill is a world-record
holder? He didn't know much
about these fish or their weights,
and therefore made no claim.

Its slipstream construction

Whereas Eyston's ponderous

weight to keep it on the ground,
thus necessitating more powerful
motors, the Railton has demon

Up at Noroton, Conn, where the
top girl golfers of the land-and a
couple of good golfers from Britain
ARE getting ready to settle the
ownership of Patty Berg's national
championship for 1899, seven Wash
ington women are working out their
shots in preparation for the open
ing of the title tournament tomor-
row over the Weeburn course. Local
entrants are Mrs. Bishop p Hill and
Mrs. Landra B. Platt of Chevy
Chase, Mrs. Leo Walper of Capital,
Mrs. Florence Godfrey and Mrs.
Ellen Kincaid Harris of Beaver
Dam. Mrs Myron Davy of Congress
sional and, far from least, Marion
Brown of Manor.
Miss Brown Probably Best.
Marion probably is the outstand-
ing golfer of the group, even though
she dropped her District title last
June to Mrs. Walper in an extra
hole match so close that only a big
putt across the 18th green decided
the match. There isn't much to
choose between two contestants
when they are that close.
But the championship field
biggest in history-looks too fast
for the local entrants. They'll do
all right to qualify one or two for
match play. Following the medal
round Monday, which will qualify
"a players, the entire field will play
one match round Tuesday, with
two more match rounds coming up
Wednesday. In all six matches
must be won by the new champion
IN four days, which sets up the
tournament as a test of endurance
as well as skill.

Slender Purse Likely
For District Open
Golf This Year
Pros Make No Plans for
Exhibition Matches to
Swell Prize Fund

District golf professionals appar-
emily have abandoned their plans
for organizing a series Of COM
petitions among themselves. in
cluding a schedule of exhibition
matches to raise a few dollars for
the District open championship.
Earlier in the year they proposed
to hold such series, but the time
now is getting late and some OF
their group will play in such big
affairs as the Glens Falls and Her
shey open tournaments, to come up
within the next three weeks.
Instead. they are concentrating
on the Middle Atlantic P. G. A.
tourney, which will have big purse
this year. They haven't even set
the date or chosen the club for the
District open championship, which
usually is done by this time of year
Lean Tourney Purse Looms.
For the last two years pro eXhi-
bition matches played on Sunday
afternoons have contributed good
slice of money toward the District
open title tourney. But this year,
unless they start schedule pretty
soon, they'll play for peanuts or
their own entry fees.
Meanwhile Tommy Doerer, East
Potomac Park golf impresario, is
willing to stage the District open at
his course and will toss a sizable
chunk of coin into the pot.
But the pros themselves would
rather play the 72-hole tourney at
a private club, they say. They have
played the tournament at Indian
Spring and Washington and 1t may
60 to Congressional this year, some
time in October soon after the Mid
Atlantic P. G. A.
Tight Schedule Urged.
And 1t might be a good idea tc
have one tourney follow the other
by couple of days. The District
open last year was open to the
world and undoubtedly will be the
same this year. So they might a.
well stage them couple of day;

ically. Two strikes is out and
four outs retire a side. Epler
figures that with only six batters
and four outs each inning every
batter gets about twice as many
times at the plate as in regular
ball. Because the batter hits
into narrower area, fouls count
only as half strike.
The originator of the game
says the narrower fair hit" area
and the necessity to hit safely in
two strikes will make for better
regulation baseball hitters.

equal distances apart in q

is the same distance from home

With only three bases the area
within the two foul lines in the
outfield is considerably lessened,
since those lines start from home
plate at a 60-degree angle in
stead of a 90-degree angle Two
outfielders cover that territory.
