Scraps for Women
Due 10 Be Brisk
Monor's Leod Threatened
By Chevy Chase Along
With Several Others

One of the incest little interclub
team scraps in years is shaping up
among the feminine golfers around
Washington this year. Going at 1t
hammer and tongs and sparing no
punches in the effort to land their
team on top, the skirted golfers from
Manor, currently leading: Chevy
Chase, the defending champs, and
Kenwood are in the thick of q
struggle for supremacy that may
bring two of the teams down to the
final match of the season-on May
28-with the title hinging on a sin
gle putt.
Five matches remain to be played
among the first teams or the cham
pionship group. Two of these are
postponed matches, made necessary
when bad weather in April forced
two postponements. Manor's strong
outfit, headed by Mrs. Walter r.
Stokes, Mid-Atlantic champion, and
Marion Brown, former champ, in
cluding Mrs. L. G. Pray, the Manor
Club titleholder, has piled up II
points. Chevy Chase has 81 points.
A quick look would indicate that
Manor has the title sewed up, but
all is not as it appears. Manor, for
example, has not yet met the ad-
mitted strong teams in the league.
Theses, as they are classed by the
women, are Chevy Chase, Congress
sional, Kenwood and Army Navy
Nor has Manor drawn the usual
bye which falls to the host club in
the team matches, a circumstance
which enables the other teams to
gain points on the team which has
the bye.
But Manor undoubtedly Is in q
strong position to gain its first team
title in quite a stretch of years. The
women from the Norbeck club are
out in front and the others have
to catch them. Two matches are
scheduled this week. Tomorrow
Chevy Chase meets Woodmont at
Washington and should win a flock
OF points, for Woodmont so far has
| not shown much strength. Manor
at the same time meets Army Navy
q team of considerable strength.
Friday Manor goes against Con-
gressional, an outfit which isn't 60
Ing to drop flock of points, while
Chevy Chase meets Columbia and
should cut further into the Manor
lead. 1t all may come down to the
final match of the season, scheduled
May 28 at Kenwood, when Manor
will meet Chevy Chase in match
that might 60 to the final putt fol-
a decision.
1t happened just that way last
year. when Chevy Chase nosed out
Indian Spring in the final match
And are the women grim abou,
these team matches? You ought to
see the way they go after them.

Bosox's Harris Admits
Out Loud He's Good
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

NEW YORK, May 13 N.AN.A).
Young Mickey Harris, bouncing
left-hand pitcher for the Boston
Red Sox, whose work we recon-
mended last March, is said by many
of his colleagues to be the freshest
bird to break into the league in
some time.
Mr.. Harris has a world of talent,
which he does not believe in con-
cealing conversationally. The first
day he broke into an exhibition
game In Florida, I understand, he
did q pretty good job. When the
contest was over Mr.. Harris strode
to the telephone in the dressing
room, called his girl friend in the
North long distance, and, surveying
the veteran Red SoX all around him
as they undressed, said loudly into
the mouthpiece:
well, honey, get ready to see my
picture in the paper. I'm gonna
push some of these old buns of of
the club"
Apparently nobody socked him
and Mr.. Harris has been proceeding
at the same clip ever since.

It's been a long road for the

Athwart their path for years has

them just when hopes flared
brightest for a Hilltop victory, at a

Now they are in the final, after
soundly whipping Princeton and
three other teams, and they have
their first big chance in years to
grab the crown.

The manager of the enemy team in
this game was a gentleman who
rode Mr.. Harris severely all year
long. AS soon as the game was
over, with Harris the winner,
Mickey approached his heckler and
remarked:
well, you old bush-league heel,
I am going up to the majors to get
rich while you starve to death kick

you enjoy it,
Though not a Ruffing or Ferrell
at the plate, Mr.. Harris is an ad-
mirer of his own stickwork as we'll

the South this spring wherein Har-
ris caught hold of one and drove it
to left for two bases. Eventually he

hitter, who was netting q bat.

Mr.. Doerr does not say whether

however, he did not hit Mr.. Harris
over the head with his bat.
AS a matter of fact, they like the
young man on the club because he
has hustle and confidence, two
things the Red Sox of previous
years were sorely in need of. Per-
sonalities like those of Harris and
Theodore Francis Williams have
