Federal Golf Leaders
Face Tough Fights
To Remain Ahead
War, Navy Hot on Troll
OFF. H. A.; 6. A. o. Team
Is in Tough Spot

Facing the semifinal phase OF
the hottest race that possibly could
have been arranged for the match
play golf championship of the
Government departments, the lead
ers enter this weeks contests know
ing they must grab q hatful Of
points to keep in front in the three
sections. The tourney Is being spon-
sored by The Evening Star for the
second consecutive year.
War and Navy, the touted teams
In section !, are in tough spots.
Federal Housing Administration,
which has played one more match
than the service outfits, is in first
place, with 371a points won.
War has won 33A and must take
at least Az from Securities and Ex-
change tomorrow at Kenwood to re-
main on top.
Navy, now in third place with
32a points, must take 5h from JUS
tice In their match tomorrow to re-
main in the running. If these things
happen War and Navy will 20 into
the final matches of the series prac-
tically deadlocked.
G. p. o. in Strategic Position.
Government Printing Office, the
dark horse of the league, is in a
strategic position in section 2. AL
though Accounts and Deposits, last
years championship winner, now
leads with 36l2 points, the Printers
will play a match with Post Office
to catch up and probably will forge
ahead again.
G. P. o. now has IS points and
Post Office isn't regarded as one
of the strong teams.
An added hitch in the Accounts
and Deposits plans is the unexpected
pull-up OF Treasury, which now has
81 points and plays Federal National
Mortgage Association this week,
Treasury may win 6 points from
F. N. M. A. and 60 ahead of Accounts
and Deposits.
The same situation exists in the
third section. where Interior is the
top dog with 441a points won,
against 4ll2 for General Account
Ing Once, in second place.
Interior Has Good Chance.
But Interior meets Reconstruction
Finance Corp. this week and if
1t takes 3 points from the finan-
clers Interior will be in a position
where it hardly can lose. General
Accounting Office must take points
from Agriculture Economics to have
a mathematical chance to win in
this section.
So the 80 teams move into the
home stretch this week and any,
thing may happen. The loss of a
single strong man on one of the
top teams could change the entire
situation and missed putt or two
could toss team out. It's by far the
most interesting links affair ever
staged by Uncle Sans men.
THE best bet is that we'll have
new champion" says Chuck Red
lex, director of the tournament.
The section winners will meet in a
playoh in September.

Capital Linkswomen
Will Be Kept Busy
During Fall
Mid-AtIontic Tourney
Heads Card Opening
On September II

Idle for several months except
Tor small tournaments here and
there, feminine golfers of WASH
ington are getting ready for the
fall series of links affairs, facing a
schedule that is just as extensive
as that in the spring. They don't
have the usual grist of matches.
but they do have a flock of big af-
fairs scheduled by the Women's
District Golf Association. And in
addition the first week in October
they'll have their club champion
ship tournaments coming up.
Biggest of the tournaments slated
for fall is the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association women's championship,
to be played at the Washington
Golf and Country Club October
9-l3, inclusive. The fall season will
open with the tourney for the Cor
by Cup at Columbia September II.
Here are the other scheduled af-
fairs:

In addition to these affairs the
women usually stage another af-
fair or two not on the schedule
For two years past Washington has
put on a tournament of the fall
ing leaves" and last year Army
Navy held a turkey tournament.
Those intercity matches both
should be won by Washington. The
Capital women have consistently
licked Baltimore but have had a
tougher time with Philadelphia
They'll miss Helen Dettweiler, but
they'll have a well-balanced team
for the Quaker City contest, which
probably will be played at Hunting
don Valley.

The national championship
layout will be the same as it has
been now for several years. Some
ITO sectional qualifiers (and for

they'll get at the hog killing, with

Hagen Bids Farewell

And Burke Triumph
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-The one and
only Walter Hagen. after Is wears
as one OF COLTS most commanding
f1gures, bade farewell to serious
tournament competition today.
I'm all washed up" grinned the
47-year-old veteran after he COM
pleted the final round of the
Midlothian tournament which COM
memorated the 25th anniversary of
his first national open victory on
the same course.
I'm going to play for fun in a
tournament or two occasionally" he
said, but it's too hard to keep in
playing shape any more. ANYWAY
I've had my share of CHAMPIONSHIPS

year for Is years+and I'm ready to
call 1t day. But it's a great game.
isn't it?"
Walter ProdigiOus Winner,
It's certainly been great game"
1or Sir Walter. The records show
that he won the United States Open
twice, the Western Open five times,
the P. G. A. title five times and the
British Open four times-in addition
to some 40 other titles.
His screaming drives and great
approaches have been seen round
the globe-in faraway places such as
China, Hawaii and Australia, THE
Ha1g' thrilled hundreds of thousands
OF golf fans because, win or lose, he
always put on great show.
He's generally recognized as the
greatest money maker professional
golf ever knew, earning about
81 1000 ,0O00 in quarter of a century
He made $1,000 in a match with
Bobby Jones, the largest sum ever
earned by one golfer for a single
match.
Win by Record Margin.
He paired with Gene Sarazen dur
ing the last four days and finished
fourth in a tournament arranged
solely to pay him honor. It was
Hagen the fans flocked to watch.
even though the best-ball event was
won by Ed Dudley, Philadelphia, and
Billie Burke, Cleveland, with rating
OF 10 plus" holes won, the most
decisive margin ever recorded for
this type of event. Ralph Guldahl
and Harold McSpaden finished Sec
ond. with a plus 6 standing, followed
by Byron Nelson-Dick Metz, plus 4;
Hagen-Sarazen, minus 3; Tommy
Armour-Jimmy Thompson, minus S;
Henry Picard-John Revolta, and
Paul Runyan-H Horton Smith, each
minus 6, and Denny Shute- Ernie
Harrison, minus 8.
Dudley and Burke, in winning
$1,150 first money, played the 126
holes, with best ball aggregate of
AT, so under par.

Will See Pastor Box
Champ and Take
Fling on Stage
Lou Resembles Anything
But Grown Contender
In His Workouts
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Snorts Witt,

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. o.
Lou Nova sat down with his crystal
ball and rose-colored glasses today
and came up with a whole string
OF bright prospects for the Nova
future, right up to and including
the world heavyweight champion
ship.
Reading from left to right, here is
what he let his public in on:
l. That he would flatten Tony
Galento in less than five rounds in
Philadelphia September Z.
2. After a short whirl in Detroit
to take in the Joe Louis-Bob Pastor
fight, he will take a fling in the
theater, at summer stock, here in
New Jersey.
3. Then, to keep his hand in, he'll
tangle with some one, possibly Max
Schmeling, in February, and after
that, he announced, he'll be ready to
take the heavyweight crown right
away from Joe Louis.
It's Large Order.
From there on Louis plans are q
little unsettled, but even before he
finished his daily workout, in which
he resembled anything but a title
contender, everyone was ready to
admit he had dished out a large
order for himself.
Tubby Tony" Lou said, is made
to order for me. I'll put him away
IN f1ve rounds. OF course, I want
Louis AS soon as possible, but it
appears now won't be able to get
him until next spring. So, in the
meantime. I'll take on some one in
February just to keep from too long
layoff.'
II there's no war over in Europe. ("
Manager Ray Carlen interrupted
"Schmeling may be brought back to
light us. I've already spoken with
Mike Jacobs about it, and he agrees
Lou should have a fight in February. !"
Furnishes Only One Sparmare.
In his sparring work here against
Joe Banovic and Danny Hassett.
Lou has been more like the catcher
than the pitcher. Only against
Jimmy Smith, fast 180-pounder,
has he "dished it out" roughly.
And that" one of his handlers
explained, was because Smith has
thumbed Lou accidentally, several
times. Lou warned him and finally
taught him his lesson"
To date, however, Lou seems like
anyone but the Navo who stopped
Baer. Still he's not doing any par
ticular worrying about his forth
coming fight with the beer keg that
walks. I'll snap out Of 1t in a
couple of days" he said. Don't
forget, in my last workout before the
Baer fight looked so bad the bet
ting odds went up

Troynor Losing Grip
On Buccuneer Helm
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK, Aug. % N.AN.AD.-
At the end of the last baseball sea-
son Mr.. Bill Benswanger, the mu-
sical president of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, gave Pie Traynor the back
OF his left hand by saying, Tray
nor can have the job again If he
wants it."
This was, or seemed to be, an open
invitation to Pie to resign his job
as manager of the Pirates. Mr.. Tray
nor, being stubborn fellow, as we'll
as the worlds foremost practicing
spreader of sweetness and light, de-
clined to take the hint. He made
no move to resign. When his con-
tract for 1889 reached him in course
of time, calling for a cut in salary,
Pie signed it, Set his chin and pre-
pared to face another campaign at
the head of a beaten ball club.
If nobody else had faith in him
as a manager Traynor had faith in
himself. Pies attitude always has
been: Il want this job, 1 need it
and some day the breaks will 20
with me instead of against me and
I'll win"

In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April 14.-Ofhcials of the
adjutant generals office for the
State of North Carolina are natur-
ally divulging no official secrets,
but from tables in the A. G. office
here it is apparent that the Tar
Heel National Guard, in order to get
onto war footing, would have to
be expanded to more than double
its present strength.
What the officials are quiet about
is just how this would be done and
whether or not they have recently
received any others from Washing
ton to be prepared for the switch
from peace to war footing.
AS indicated in the accompanying
table the allotted peace strength of
State Guard is 277 officers and 5000
enlisted men. Adiutant General j.
Van B. Metts says that it is within
fifty to a hundred men of that
strength at all times, varying only
negligibly by reason of discharges
and other causes.
This strength would be stepped up
TO 48O officers and 8,770 enlisted men
to. get on war footing.
General Metts said that the Off
Ger personnel to bring the guard to
full strength is already prepared and
ready. There are serving as enlist
ed men in the units many men who
have passed the examinations need
ed to get commissions. When orders
to go on a war footing come, these
enlisted men would be Immediately
