Nine Favored Over
Jasper Post
Has Beaten Foe Twice
This Season.; KuIdeII
Gets Pitching Call

If young Clarence Kuldell's trusty
right arm is right" Saturday Co..
ley-McCullough Post expects to get
off to a flying start in its 3-game
series with Sergt. Jasper for the
American Legion diamond cham
pionship of the District.
Kuldell carved an enviable niche
for himself in local Legion records
this season by tossing his mates to
seven victories in eight appearances
during the regular schedule. Two
of his triumphs were registered at
Jasper's expense. He turned his
rivals back the first time by go
count, giving up three hits, and won
his second encounter with the en-
emy, 8-4, allowing eight scattered
blows
Saturday. his mates predict, he'll
make it three in row and they are
prepared to support him to the hilt
because of this rivalry goes deeper
than the Legion. You see Sergt
Jasper's roster is comprised of Gen.
trail High boys, while Cooley Nc
Cullough's was picked from Western
and the strong feeling between the
two Is reflected in Legion competi-
ton, which has produced some
grade-A baseball this summer.
The series winner will represent
the District in the regional tourna-
ment later in the month.

Links Stars BountifuI> Burnett
Hard Put to Pick D. C.. Team

Volney Burnett, the golfing fire.
man, is in another hot spot these
sizzling days as he tries to untan-
gle the choices of the newspaper
men for the Washington amateur
team which will play Baltimore
Sunday and CLEAN from the choices
submitted to him a team of 20
men who may lick the Baltinoreans
at Terra Mariae three days hence.
Out of it Volney will obtain a
good team and one which probably
will win the match. But it won't be
any pushover, as it has been in
past years. The Baltimore boys
have had an upswing in their golf
over the last year or two. The
match will be staged by the Mary
land State Golf Association.
Three newspapermen submitted
lists, and as usual for this craft
they didn't agree on the 20 best
golfers around Washington. Here
are those on whom they did agree:
Burnett, Roger Peacock, George F.
Miller, NJ Parker Nolan, Ralph
Bogart, Billy Shea, Martin F. Nc
Carthy, Earle Skinker and Harry
Pitt. That's a pretty good bunch
of par twisters, but how about
Claude Rippy and Bobby Brownell?
Rippy happens to be one of the best
linksmen in any territory any
Evening star., 1940-08-01

where, and Brownell, even though
he hasn't quite recovered from a
broken leg, can manipulate a golf
ball around any ones COW pasture
in figures good enough to win
point or so.
The match will start at 1:30 at
Terra Mariae, which is on the
northeast side of Baltimore and a
long way from Washington. Fur
thermore, it won't prove anything,
but it is a good idea-this one of
real team competition among picked
teams from the two cities. The
Maryland State association holds
Journeys among the member clubs
each fall, but this one is the Nc
Coy-an affair involving all the
amateur strength of the two towns.
Now the pros should get together
and stage a pro match, with about
10 men on a side, between Wash
ington and Baltimore. That also
would be another Washington vic
tory. Spencer Overton and Otto
Greiner loom as the strongest Of
the Baltimore amateurs.

f, Virgil (Buck) Worsham, the pride
OF the Chevy Chase golf shop, put
one over On every one.
Long before the Middle Atlantic
p. G. A. assistants championship,
the golf writer's dncluding this one)
were building up good looking
young Buck as q. sure winner Of the
title. Sports writer's, you know, are
q hardy lot. They make a habit of
picking likely gents as winners Of
athletic events, being more or less
forced to take the position of Tex
perts" since they are writers, and
Is such, are supposed to have the
inside track on whatever dope is
available
The fact that they guess wrong
q flock of times, and that their
average correctness Is not so
hot doesn't rate them any less
as experts. And the further fact
is that they get calloused about
1t after a while and become per-
fectly complacent when the guy
they've SO carefully built up does
a flop and ends behind the 8-ball.
But they have to pick winner
or so the tradition of their craft
tells 'em. If they're right, they
stick out their chests. If they're
wrong? Well, few people seem to
care, anyhow, in the fuss and bother
about the new champeen.
Went Out on Limb.
But Buck Worsham put one over.
The Amalgamated Society of Sec
ond Guessers - otherwise the golf
writers-ought to sue the 20-year-
old youngster from Hampton, Va.
Here they'd gone out weeks ago on
the traditional limb picking young
Buck to win the assistants cham
pionship. building him up from time
to time with nice little pieces in the
papers, patting him on the back
