Golfers Facing LuII
Till Mid-Alantic
Title Tourney
HilIenduIe to Be Host
In June; Orioles Shun
Chevy Chase Event

Amateur Hnksmen Of Washington,
finished with their first big joust Of
the season, have . lengthy siesta
in front Of them before the next
big affair coming up in which to
test their skin. The Chevy Chase
tourney, which wound up yester-
day, was an orgy Of fine shot max
Ing over one OF the great courses of
the land. The next big one for the
male mashie maulers will be the
Middle Atlantic amateur cham
pionship, to be played at Baltimore's
Hillendale Club starting June 13.
Then in rapid succession come
series of major Journeys. Congress
sional Country Club will be the
venue of the Maryland amateur
title tourney June 81, % and %,
ending on a Sunday, which sounds
like a screwy idea. But, that's the
way the State association wanted
1t, and they'll have it that way.
Shun Chevy Chase Event.
And did you notice that very few
Baltimore golfers entered the Chevy
Chase tournament, and that he
Baltimore Country Club tourney
has been Cancelled this year? Is
amateur golf around Baltimore 60
ing into a tailspin?
Following the Maryland cham
pionship comes the best ball invi-
tation event of the Capital Golf and
Country Club, scheduled for June
%, % and 30. That one promises
to be good. Any best ball affair
is sure to be that way. When two
good amateurs start taking chances
at all angles of the game they can
take par apart any time they start.
This one should draw a good field.
Few Amateurs Enter Open.
Only few amateurs have en-
tered the sectional rounds for the
open championship at Manor May
27. The simon pures generally
don't have chance. The pros are
too good and too steady for the
amateurs.
But the women have their Gus
tomary heavy schedule. Next week
will come along The Star Cup tour
ney, followed in rapid succession by
the women's Eastern championship
and the Maryland State title tour
ney at Baltimore, the District cham
pionship event at Kenwood and a
couple of mixed foursome affairs.

Hudson Is Bound to Help Mats,
Harris Feels, Despite Rookie
HurIer's Recent Poor Work

was slammed for four hits and
yielded pair of walks before being
replaced by Joe Krakauskas, off
whom the Indians manufactured five
runs in four innings.
Colbert Not Classcd as Pitcher.
Thus was born the pitching debut
Of veteran Charley Colbert. With
the Mats trailing, $50, Harris sent
Colbert, an infielder of IA years .ex-
perience, to the mound in the sixth.
He retired five men in order, some
what of miraculous achievement at
the time, before jeff Heath whacked
his second successive home run.
Charley allowed two more runs in
the eighth.
Although rousing success in COM
parison with what preceded him,
Colbert won't be employed in that
capacity again. Harris inserted him
only because Krakauskas complained
of an aching arm.
Bucky is being beseiged by tele-
grams from major and minor league
pitching castoffs, but the only hurler
now under consideration by the Mats
is Willis Hudlin, recently released
by Cleveland. Hudlin has conferred
with Harris and may land job with
Washington.
While Washington is attempting
to locate some semblance of slab
strength, Cleveland was hailing the
fourth triumph of undefeated AL
Milnar, who limited the Mats to
seven hits, Gerald Walkers double
and Cecil Traves' single producing
their only run in the ninth.
Ken Chase was to face Johnny
Allen on the mound today, with
Dutch Leonard ticketed to open the
three-game series at Chicago on
Sunday.

Triumph of Fireman Burnett
At Chevy Chase Is Tipoff on
High Class of D. C.. Golfers

pany-put out any fire, no matter
how high or how hot it might blaze
Bogart had beaten Bobby Dunkel-
berger, the pride of North Carolina,
thus completing the other half of
what might be called the seasons
big upset.
And Bogart, on the strength of
that, might have been the favorite.
But Fireman Burnett turned on
the quencher with a 15-footer for
winning 4 at the first hole. He
went on from there. He didn't hit
all the green's in par. Indeed he
missed four green's on the first nine,
but he got out in par just the same
with the aid of putter that re-
fused to miss. And he was 3 up.
At that point, with par IS behind
him, he had used only 13 puts.
Burnett Refuses to Miss.
Don't you ever miss?" asked
Bogart, on the eighth green.
Nope" said Volney, and canned
3-footer for a par on the ninth.
He sank 15-footer for deuce on
the tenth, holed an 8-footer for
4 on the eleventh, and canned a
curling 20-footer for on the
twelfth, and the match was in.
Ralph - the District champ
might as well not have played the
last two holes of the match. It
was useless.
For Volney-the hot fireman.
and his hot putter, refused to miss.
There was a spot where Ralph
might have won his only hole of
the match-at the thirteenth. But
Ralph missed a 3-footer for a par
and Volney went on to win on the
next green.
1t was slaughter, and nothing else
Also it was victory for law and
order, for Volney, good fireman that
he is, was supposed to be on duty
yesterday, guarding the homes of
the good burghers out around No. II
engine. But Volney had chore to
do. He had to win the Chevy Chase
tourney. He didn't waste much time
doing it, after hiring a man to sub
for him.
For magnificent scoring and fine
golf you'll find it hard to beat his
score. Here it is, with par, and with
that of Bogart-the runner-up:

The National League has noth- ing to be ashamed of, on the basis of last seasons averages, in all the talk about its American Leag Le "castoffs," because the ex-Amer- ican League players didn't fare so well in the senior circuit.
 Including all players who parti- cipated in 10 or more games during the season, here's how the east offs" of both leagues fared in 1889:
 l. Former tional Leaguers compiled a composite batting avsr- age of .294 in the American League (999 hits in 3,397,,. times at baD
 3. Ex = American Leaguers, in composite, hit for a modest 256 in the National Q,488 hits in 5,808 times at bat.
 3. Former National League pitch CTS won 87 games and lost 84 in

the American for a .50a pencent- age
 4. American League pitchers won l23 but lost l33 games in the National for a percentage of .480
 5. However, the former Ameri- can League hurlers salvaged some honor. Their composite earned run average per nine-inning game in the National was only 3.s4 Q,049 earned runs in 2,395 innings pitched), as compared with a composite average of 4.57 t75o earned runs in l,476 innings) for ex-National League fingers per- forming in the American.
 In order to be strictly fair, the work of every man who formerly played. in the rival league-if he got into any games there at all-- was included in this compilation,
 The National League, as usual, tried out a lot more ex-American Leaguers than vice-versa-ia fact, twice as many. The Brooklyn Dod- gers alone accounted for IA.
 The figures may seem surpris- ing, but not when you recall that George McQuinn, for instance, bat ted .316 for the St. Louis Browns, although he couldn't hit, his weight with the Cincinnati Reds a few years ago. And that such Ameri- can League stars as Joe Cronin, Mike Kreevich, Buck Newsom and Emil Leonard fizzled in earlier trials in the elder circuit.
 National League fans sec signifi- canoe in the fact that the only for mer American Leaguer who nit over 300 in the National was Zeke Bonura and there never was much question about his hit ting. Even 50, he paid National League pitching the compliment of being smarter.
 On the other hand, Al Simmons, who is returning to the American after hitting mild .274 in the National, planes it on the way the infields are built.
