ne was In the lineup and a polo
pony he was riding turned heels
over head in tangle with another
horse and rider and Winston end
ed up In the hospital.
There was broken leg included
in the damages and until a week
or two ago crutches were his best
means of getting about. Now he
can walk under his own power,
thanks to a steel brace on the in
jured limb. While he can't par
ticipate in the sport, he enjoyed
discussing 1t, however, as Fauquier-
Loudoun and Sd Cavalry staged a
Red Cross war relief benefit game
at Goose Creek Field near Middle
burg, Va.
Getting acquainted with the finer
points Of polo, merely by watching
the game closely, may be a good
system, but we decided to get our
tips from Frost. He played No. 3
for Harvard few years ago when
Harvard was tops in collegiate polo
circles. A 4-goal player, we figured,
should know plenty about the sport
and that's how Winston was ranked
last year before he was hurt.
Strictly Team Play Game.
Polo" he explained, "is not un-
like football or basket ball In that
each man has certain duties to per-
form, certain territory to cover and
certain men to guard. 1t isn't, as
some people imagine, a slam-bang
game wherein anything goes. Team
play is the most important part of
successful polo and without 1t little
In the way Of winning can be ac-
complished."
Good old cooperation, we thought.
But we took look at the game while
the teams were engaged in a me-
lee near the sidelines. We looked
skeptical. So did Frost. He ex-
planned
We'll, I'm just telling you how the
game should be played Naturally
If every man always did his part
exactly right who can say what
would happen. Now, two men, at
least, should not be in that shuttle
The backs" or guards of both teams
should be between the play and their
own goals because if that ball sud-
denly comes flying out with an op-
posing player behind it somebody's
going to have goal and the de-
fensive man is going to have a red
face"
That seemed logical enough, but
when Frost said that generally the
poorest hitter on the team should
make the most goals we were f1oored

Fight Films Go on Here
First Time Since 1912

The first public showing of prize
fight pictures in Washington since
1912 will go on, starting Thursday
at Sidney Lust's Leader Theater,
507 Ninth street NV. The theater
will show films of the recent Max
Baer-Tony Galento bout and also
of the last Joe Louis-Arturo Godoy
affair. The shows will start at 10
am. and run with the regular pro-
gram.
Just last week the President signed
law repeating previous ban on
the interstate transportation of
prizef1ght films. This law had been
passed in 1912 following several un-
pleasant incidents connected with
showing of the films of the 1910
heavyweight fight in which Jack
Johnson defeated James j. Jeffries.

man of today: the man who, had
he had money and time to spend
on bigtime tournament golf,
probably would have won the ma
tional amateur championship a
time or two. Roger hasn't been
much of a campaigner. He
hasn't been able to go romping
around the country playing in
golf tournaments and building
up a reputation. Some others
have done it pretty successfully.
But Roger, barring a few out-of-
town affairs, has done little play
ing on the big amateur circuit.
Just now in the middle of q
streak of golf that seldom has
been equaled by any amateur
anywhere, Peacock is pointing

Tardy Marlin Cause
Sport Depression
At0cean City
Bootmen NonpIussed, One
Holds Cold Water Is
Keeping Fish Away

Nearly a month behind their regu-
lar schedule the marlin-or lack OF
them-at the Ocean City (Md)
marlin grounds are tossing a flock
OF proverbial monkey wrenches into
the usual summer machinery at
the Maryland port. Around this
time of year the newspapers are
flooded with pictures OF defunct
marlin hanging from beam with
important-looking gents busting
their shirt buttons alongside the
dead fish. The publicity is astound-
ing and the profit to Ocean City is
OK, too.
But this year-so far-Ocean City
is just another seaside resort town.
The marlin boats come and 60,
heading for the Jackspot, Is miles
south, and the steamship lanes, 35
miles out. So far not one of them
has come back with a spindle
shouted warrior of the sea lanes
poking his bill out of the fish box.
Ocean City is in fishing slump and
no one knows what to do about it.
Captains Disagree on Cause.
The grizzled captains have all
kinds Of theories, but they don't
agree on one. In past years, since
Paul and Jack Townsend discovered
the marlin mine off Ocean City, the
fish have come along as If running
on schedule. They've always come
in around June IS and remain for
a couple of weeks. Then fishing
Stacked off, and they came again
in big punches around August 10.
But this year Ocean City hasn't
docked a marlin yet at the port
where a worlds record of more than
1900 fish landed was set in 1899.
The reason? Well. here's a plaus-
ible one, advanced by man who
has done lot of fishing of Ocean
City. Here's the way this man
dopes it: Marlin" he says, "are
warm water fish.
Cold Water Theory Plausible.
"I've been out there off the Jack
spot, and out as far as 100 miles
off shore looking for them over the
last few days. I haven't seen one.
Nor have I seen the usual big schools
of alewives or white bait or the
small fish the marlin feed on. The
bait fish like warm water and so
do the marlin.
II took water temperatures far off
shore and the highest temperature
I found was SO degrees. Marlin like
water of 70 degrees and on up
They don't like cold water. That
and the lack of food fish or bait fish
is the real reason the marlin
haven't shown up yet.
Remember we haven't had any
long stretch Of hot weather to heat
up the surface of the ocean"
1t sounds reasonable, but 1t
doesn't help Ocean City. And the
fisherman are wondering what can
be done about 1t.

over the Winged Foot course at
Mamaroneck, N. Y. Sectional
qualifying rounds for this one
will be held at Chevy Chase Au-
gust ~. In any field of simon
pures in this sector Peacock is a
cinch to qualify.
Rogers best showing in the
amateur championship was made
at Cleveland five years ago when
he was "a years old. But at 20
today he is a better, more expe-
rienced golfer than then.
II learned plenty of shots from
Henry Picard, too," said Roger.
THAT fellow knows how to play
those delicate little chip shots,
and he taught me. I think I'll
be better now" If Roger i'm
proves (can you be better than
the best7) he'll win everything
in sight, including the amateur
championship.

Walters Is Nominated
On His Loops Rotinq.

I nominate Walters because most
National Leaguers call him the best.
For all I know, McKechnie may feel
otherwise. Remember, in the world
series last fall, when the Deacon
had his choice between Walters and
Derrlnger to start the first game
against the Yankees, he called on
Derringer. And his selection was
justified. Derringer pitched two
magnificent ball games, while
Walters was just $3.50 in his single
start.
I've always thought that Der
ringer had more stuff than Bucky,
purely in pitching sense. Walters,
OF course, is hitter and a fielder
and an all-around athlete, while
Paul is just thrower-whether of
baseball, punches, or inkwells.
Walters is winning more games
these days. That's partly because
Bucky's stuff is peculiarly adapted
to his league, and partly because
Derringer has passed his peak. after
10 years of full-time work.
And if Walters is the National
Leagues candidate for the best
there is" then he is the logical op-
ponent of Feller for the first three
innings of the all-star game.

Feller-W r-WoIters Duel
Should Be Feature.

That personal duel should be the
leading feature of the carnival of
stars. There's another feature,
though, which is widely overlooked.
1t may not affect the result of the
game, but it does speak clamorously
Tor the value and prestige of that
corn-fed, apple-cheeked farmer
named James Emory Foxx.
Along among big league ball
players, active and passive, the
mauler of Margate, Md. has been
a member of the all-star squad everv
year-picked sometimes by the pub
lie and sometimes by the strategists
of his league, but never omitted,
because in the eight years of all
star history he never has given the
public or the strategists the slightest
excuse to omit him. 1t is one of
baseball's great records of consis-
tency, record which soon will
eclipse Lou Gehrig's, just as Foxx
will eclipse Gehrig's lifetime home
run total this year and take his
place as runnerup to Ruth.
1t would be a stroke of Justice
from strictly American League
point of vieW-if Robin Feller were
to pitch three innings of no-hit
ball out there in St. Louis and
James E. Foxx were to bust up the
game by dropping one of his four
star specials across the river in
Illinois.

From the
Press Box
AII-Stor Game to Test
Pitching Superiority
BY JOHN LARDNER,
srecisI Core espondent Of The Star

NEW YORK, July 9 (N.ANA).
Its my notion that the American
League in the last few years has
sneaked past the National League
In the matter of pitching. Maybe
we'll have some proof, one way or
another, in the an-star game in
st. Louis today.
It's hard to rub off a good, sticky
label, and the American League has
been labeled the slugger's league
for some time, while the National
League clings hard to its old trade
mark, pitching. But what goes on
behind that trade mark? Unless my
eyes deceive me, detect a vacuum.
In the all-star game, at the rate
OF three innings apiece, the Amer
lean League can field the following
pitchers:
/. Bob Feller.
2. Buck Newsom.
8. Dutch Leonard.
That Is a high-powered trium-
virate, hard to match in the National
or any other league Walters, Der
ringer and Hubbell, maybeP Or
Walters, Mulcahy and Derringer?
Or Derringer, Higbe and Hubbell?
Slab Strength Is Deep
In Junior Circuit.
Any way you take them, you fall
short of the American Leagues big
three. which might be reinforced, if
Joe Cronin, the all-star manager,
dipped back into his league, by
Bridges, or Milnar, or Ruffing, or
John Duncan Rigney. And even
farther back, there is Monte Mar
cellus Pearson, sure death to Ma
tional leaguers in his every World
Series start.
Not all of those snipers are on
the all-star squad, but they give
you an idea of the depth and VOL
Tune of the pitching in the new
American League. Whereas, if You
go back of Derringer, Walters,
Higbe, Mulcahy and Hubbell, you
find nothing stronger than Passeau,
Thompson, MCGEE and Posedel in
the National League.
Cronin and Bill McKechnie, the
ell-star managers, have it in their
power to put on a stylish duel be-
tween the two pitchers with the
most popular claims, nowadays, to
the title of "best pitcher in base
ball" Cronin plans to start. Feller.
Let Mr.. McKechnie counter with
Bucky Walters, the pride and iov
of his own league, and the customers
in st. Louis will get their moneys
worth,
