THERE HAS BEEN

THERE HAS BEEN much
frantic worrying ever so often
by fishing parties using Key West
charter boats, which is really
very useless. Key West veteran
captains understand the phases
of the weather and they have
very protected grounds. Fishing
is done in the Gulf Stream and
Reef on the outside and up
through the Keys on the inside.
On the outside, it might be dan
gerous if a motor conked out, but
there are from 10 to Is boats al
ways there and there is an un-
written rule that the last boat out
there always turns to go in when
the second to last boat heads to-
ward shore. No Key West fish
erman will leave another boat
which is broken down on the
Reef. On the inside, dangers are
just about nil. So protected are
the small channels in between
the islands that Key West boat
men use those channels for hur-
ricane harbors during the hurri-
cane season. The only possible
danger really is hitting a reef on
the outside and Key West cap
tains usually watch them very
carefully, There never has been
a serious accident with a fishing
party in Key West waters.

It's an honor even to play in the
thing.
A new and hitherto unheard OF
challenger for the local municipal
title loomed today in the person Of
slim, 18-year-old Bob Ruane. a
youngster who has played in a few
tournaments and up to yesterday
had done exactly nothing. Yet Bob
today not only holds the District
junior municipal championship, but
he also holds the amateur record
for the short and tricky Fairlawn
course at Anacostia Park.
Ruane led a field of IS good fun
iors to win the title with 4 72-hole
card Of 290, which happens to be
pretty good piece of stroking a
golf ball whether the course is long
or short. And he came-like Gull
dahl-with rush over the last
round, scoring two-under- par 66
to set the new record and spread
eagle his field, when blond Bill
Leapley, the early leader, faded away
in the last two rounds.
Five shots behind Leapley going
into the last round, Ruane picked
up 10 strokes over that final stanza
with his sizzling 66. Leapley fin-
ished with lame 76, after scoring
PIG for 54 holes. But Bill was sec
ond with 295. The scores of the
winner were 75-76-73-66. He got
better with each round. Leapley
scored 77-76. Chester
Twomey was third with 296.

The on the part sixteenth hole
came from a wild tee shot which
ended in the rough alongside the

set real record. AS it was he

Washington gets one OF the big.
gest golf tournaments held annually
in the United States when the
Union Printcrafts Golf Association
brings its golfing membership to the
Capital in August, 1910.
The tournament undoubtedly will
be held at the Beaver Dam Country
Club, although an effort may be
made on behalf of another club tc
secure it. Clarence E. Purdy, dele
gate from Washington, played q
major part in getting the l94C
printers affair for the Capital. He
is an influential member of Beaver
Dam, and hoped to secure it for that
club.
The Union Printcrafts Golf Asso-
citation is declared to be the third
largest golf organization in the
United States. Usually between 300
and 500 golfers turn out for the
annual tournaments, which run for
four days and attract a pretty good
bunch of Shotmakers. The printers
haven't turned out any national
amateur champions, but they have
in their ranks some boys who can
do all right Next years printers
affair should be one of the biggest
and best.
ID. c. Women Seek U. S. Title.
Seven Washington contestants in
the women's national championship
are getting bags packed in prepara-
ton for their trip to Noroton, Conn
and the title tourney opening next
Monday. In way it's shame
that girls such as Helen Dettweiler
Helen Hicks Harb, and Opal Hill
cannot play in the national, but it's
billed as an amateur affair, and all
these gals are professionals. Not
necessarily that one of them could
win, for the feminine amateurs are
in class with the pros. You can't
say that about the men, but it is
true with the women.
From Shawnee. Pa, will go Mrs
Bishop P Hill of Chevy Chase, tc
Noroton, Conn, where the tourney
will be played next week. The other
six entrants all will go from Wash
ington. They are Mrs. Landra B
Platt, Mrs. Myron Davy, Marion
Brown, Mrs Leo Walper, Mrs
Florence Godfrey and Mrs. Ellen
Kincaid Harris.
May Not Go Anywhere.
Probably they won't do anything
much in the championship, for the
class up there in the Nutmeg State
looks a little too good for the local
girls. But if one or two of them
qualify and win match or two they
will have done all right. After all
it Is the national tournament, and
no local woman amateur has demon
strated that she can move along
with the topnotchers of the game.

Yonks, Reds Are Good Clubs,
But Both Are Worried.

The main point now is that the
Red Sox have been playing better
ball than the Yankees have for the
last six weeks, and the Cardinals
have been hitting a faster pace
than the Reds.
The Cardinals, in addition to good
pitching, still have couple of
fellows by the name of Joe Med
wick and Johnny Mize And they
have another entry around by the
name of Pepper Martin, who can
step in and break up a ball game
at any given moment.
The Yankees and the Cincinnati
Reds are two good ball clubs-but
they are not two overpoWering ball
clubs. They can be matched in
many positions by either the Red
SoX or the Cardinals.
Both pacemakers ought to win
but it no longer is any certainty
They are far enough in front-but ]
can tell you both are worried for a
number of reasons, largely pitch
ing. Neither has the cock-sure men
tai attitude that existed few weeks
ago.

Redskins Tout Todd
As Next Sensation
In Their Ranks
Compare Former Texas
Aegie to Battles as
Elusive Carrier
BY BILL DlSMER, Jr.,
Star Staff Correspondent.

SPOKANE. Wash. Aug. 16.-For
the third successive year, or ever
since they moved to Washington
the Redskins most highly-touted
rookie seems destined to justify his
highest advance praise. In 1887 1t
was slingin' Sam Baugh who used
his freshman year to establish new
record for national league passers
and last season Andy Farkas con-
tinued a brilliant college reputation
by leading all Redskin backs in
ground gaining.
Ever since he signed his first pro-
fessional football contract several
months ago, Redskin bosses have
nominated Dick Todd as their man
of the year. They have dispatched
more publicity about him than any
newcomer on the roster and there
is rumor that he is the second
highest-paid Redskin. his salary
topped only by Baugh's.
But after watching him in action
for more than a week this observer
would go the Redskin chieftains one
better. Unless all signs are mislead-
ing. Todd will be the sensation Of
Washington's 1889 football season.
Already they're calling him Dick
the Dodger. Boosting an amaz-
ing change of pace and an abil-
ity to switch direction on a dime,
Todd more closely resembles Cliff
Battles as a broken-feld runner
than any Redskin since the great
one quit. One of the fastest backs
in camp Che does the 100 in better
than 10 seconds Todd doesn't turn
on his full speed until he has to and
once in the clear he has yet to
be brought down from behind.
Can Pass If Required.
The ex-Texas Aggie isn't heavy,
not much over 180, and, in Mufti,
he doesn't have any striking fea-
lures. But out on the field he's
likely to be as colorful as Andy
Farkas and those two should be
the crowd -stealers at Griffith Sta
dunn this fall.
Todd can pass, too. but it's prob
able that Coach Ray Flaherty will
tell him to leave that to chuckers
like Baugh. Filchock and German.
Wee Willie Wilkin was tempo
rarily on the sidelines today with
sprained shoulder heavily tapped,
but the 250-pounder was expected
to be all right in day or so.

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. l6.-
Heartened somewhat by yesterdays
results, United States Davis Cup
BOSSES watched eagerly today as their

plons, in one of today's third
FOUNDERS and Riggs and Cooke op-
posed such sturdy Southern rivals
as Russell Bobbitt of Atlanta, and
Frank Guernsey of Orlando, Fla,
in the other mems match.
The Parker-McNeill and Riggs
Cooke combines came through with
comparative ease yesterday, while
Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich,
the Australian Davis Cup pair, had
plenty of trouble disposing of a
pair of Los Angeles youngsters, Jack
Kramer and Welby Van Horn. 1t
was that trouble which heartened
the Davis Cup chieftains.
Quist and Bromwich tomorrow
will be called upon to face Gene
Mako, reputed to be the worlds
greatest amateur doubles player, and
his new partner and Los Angeles
townsman, Jack Tidball.

Another third-rounder, also sched-
uled for Thursday, will bring the
remainder of the Australian forces,
Jack Crawford and Harry Hopman,
against such capable rivals as
Charles Hare of England. and
Ladislav Hecht, former Czecho-
Slovakian Davis Cup star.
Play in the women's division,
which has stuck strictly to form to
date, appeared even skimpier, as far
as today's program was concerned.

docket were the last two second
