The White House police won top

unable to defend.
Edgar Warden was the only

but most consistently accurate was
John Cash, who tied with Chap

Chapman was awarded the gold
medal on the strength of a better
showing in rapid fire.
Cash finished second in the o.

Golf Pros Give Purse
For Mid d-Ahdntic
Meet Of Aides
D. c. Youngsters Always
Encouraged by Bosses
In Links Sport

The pro golfers around town.
many of them graduates from the
caddie ranks-go all out tomorrow
for their proteges and the winners
of a few years hence when the pros
put up most of the purse for the
Middle Atlantic assistants tourney
at Woodmont.
The pros are putting up five bucks
apiece to make up purse for the
36-hole affair, so the winning assist
ant may drag down a nice chunk
of change. It's strictly in line with
the progressive attitude of the pro
golfers in this territory. for If there's
one thing most of them do. it's pro-
mote the ambition of the young
sters who work in their golf shops.
Barnett Boosts Youngsters.
Every golfer around town is famil-
lar with the way Bob Barnett, the
redheaded Chevy Chase pro, has
set the feet of a lot of ambitious
youngsters on the road to a start in
the pro golf business. A few of the
pros who started as caddies and got
their start in the golf shop at Chevy
Chase are Allan Burton, Army Navy
pro; Danny Burton, Quantico pro;
Lew Worsham, Burning Tree pro;
Ralph Beach, Baltimore pro, and
Gene Larkin of Woodmont.
All of them worked for Bob, and
were given a shove up the ladder
by the likable Chevy Chase mentor
OF course you have to give Witty
Cox an assist on the Worsham boys
Lew and Buck-for Witty took
them into his golf shop when he
was at Kenwood, and they've gone
on from there.
But the point is that lacking a
nudge along the road to fame and
fortune from the boss many assist
ant pros settle down to a life of
club cleaning and drudgery. That
is, in other towns. The pros here
help their assistants in every way,
as they are doing tomorrow.
Buck Worsham Sparkles.
Virgil Buck) Worsham, the long
hitting assistant at Chevy Chase;
Eddie Stevens of Manor, and War;
ner Gray of Congressional, are the
lads about whom you hear as the
assistants tourney comes up. Wor-
sham has come along very fast over
the last year.
Equipped with a great pair of
hands for golf and a fine swing,
the husky youngster seems to have
everything champion needs. He
lacks competitive experience, but
that will come. A youngster who
makes as good showing as young
Worsham made in the Bedford, Pa,
open definitely has the earmark of
future greatness.

Capt. Jeffries of Chincoteague
comes up with new idea in fishing
1t happened when, of all things, the
fish were biting too fast for his
group of anglers.
Dave Tavan, Doc Dan Solomon,
Hy Berman, Murray Brawnstein
and Ed Nicholson, all of Washing
ton, fished with Skipper Jeffries
for two days last week. On the
wrecks 10 miles off shore the porgies
were biting as fast as the bait (cut
squid) hit bottom. These fish were
coming so rapidly that nothing else
could be taken, and after awhile
you can get too much of porgie
fishing.
So Jeffries devised a float line,
that is, float with about feet
of line dropping below the surface.
Trout came up of the bottom to
grab this bait after being beaten
to everything on the bottom by
porgies. A float line is nothing new
in fishing, in fact the barefoot farm
boy uses that rig to catch his pan
fish, but this is the first record we
have of it being used when the fish
were biting too fast. 1t generally is
pressed into service when the fish
aren't biting at all.
This party, incidentally, also
caught 200-pound shark, measur-
ing feet, that took Tavan and
Nicholson more than half an hour
to land.
Rock Back in Potomac.
After several days layoff due ap-
parently to the hot weather, rock

Even threes. It's the great dream
of any golfer to play a golf course
in even fours. And sometimes he
dreams Of that round where every
shot clicks perfectly for a round in
even threes.
Probably it never will happen any
where. At least it never has, on a
standard length golf course. But
j. E. (Buck Freeman got a good
start on it during a round at Con-
gressional, where he played a five
hole stretch, starting at the eighth
and finishing with the twelfth, in
level threes.
Freeman is hombre who hits the
ball a long way. On the concrete
like fairways of this season of the
year his tee shots reach away out
there. So it was no surprise when
he whacked big tee shot out on
the paris eighth hole, planted an
iron second on the green and holed
the putt for an eagle 3. Likewise
the par 3 he bagged on the ninth
hole was no surprise. But it was a
surprise when he continued his par
wrecking with bird on the tenth
and then followed up with another
bird on the eleventh. After that
the par 3 on the twelfth was a
formality.
1t was the most surprising stretch
of golf done around Washington
this year. For even though the
eighth is not SO tough, the next
three holes happen to be among the
hardest on the Congressional course.
Freeman finished with 70, one over
par for the layout.

Opening Of Qualifying
Play Morred by Mud;
Continues Tonight
By ROD THOMAS.

Due to muddy courts, the 18th
annual Evening Star horseshoe
tournament is off to a creeping start
but ringer addicts who gathered
last night for the opening of the
qualifying test on the public park
layout opposite the Commerce Build
ing today pondered an unexpected
splash of dope.
With only few courts in shape
scant dozen fired in the 100-shoe
prelim and none achieved more than
moderate score but when the
official shooting ceased a battle was
staged that shed some light on what
may be expected in the struggle to
come.
Clayton C. Henson, the doughty
Virginian who recently conquered
the great Jimmy Risk Of Indiana in
a challenge match, the Henson
whose ringer percentages of late
have won him national attention,
took something of a lesson In hoss
shoe flippin'.
Lacey Tosses 81 Per Cent.
Putting it on for him was a past
master in the art of teaching. mean
ing one Clair Lacey. erstwhile high
school principal from Kansas, now a
War Department employe and a
favored candidate for the ringer
championship of Washington.
Lacey, Henson and Bill Woodfield
tangled in an important match and
when so shoes were tossed a capitu-
lation revealed Lacey with the phe-
nomenal ringer percentage of 90.
Forty-siX of his pitches found the
stake. Twenty-nine ringers in a
row he threw and for the first time
this season Champ Henson was
made to realize somebody besides
himself in this bailiwick can play a
fancy tune with the clanky irons.
With the so tosses Lacey scored
14l points, Henson, with 81 per
cent ringers, far below his average,
counted 113 and Woodfield got the
same score with go per cent g.
pointers.
Frank Porter of Arlington and
Preston Smith of Washington led
the qualifying field last night with
ITS points each, Porter throwing
40 ringers and Smith 48. They al
most are certain to qualify for the
eliminations that will start next
Monday night
Stars Delay Medal Test.
None of the recognized stars of
Washington, Northern Virginia and
Southern Maryland elected to take
the 100-shoe test last night. Each
is bent upon winning medal honors
with the exception of Henson, whose
status as defending Metropolitan
champion will keep him on the side
lines until time to defend his title,
the most important at stake in the
tournament. The Metropolitan play
off will bring together the late
survivors of the sectional compe-
tition..
Henson made no real effort in his
clash with Lacey and Woodield,
but Lacey's performance marked
him as threat to dethrone the
Virginian. One could count on his
fingers the horseshoe twirlers in the
country capable of firing ringers
with the profusion of the Lacey of
last night. Nor was his achievement
f1uky. The Kansan regularly tosses
more than 10 per cent.
Qualifying play will continue to-
night at 7 o'clock The deadline
will fall Friday evening. At the
end of Fridays pitching the is high
scorers in each sector-Washington,
Virginia and Maryland-will be
paired for the eliminations. These
promise to produce the sharpest
competition in the history of the
tournament.
