Win Over Pepco, FL,
CIinehes City Crown
For Second Year

Heurich Brewers, champions of
the Industrial Baseball League, for
the second straight year hold the city
sandlot title as well. They retained
their crown yesterday by defeating
Pepco, the team from which they had
taken the title last year. 81, in the
deciding game of the city series.
Yesterdays game on the Ellipse
was a pitchers between Heurich'S
Walter James, who allowed six hits,
and Pepco's Doug Morgan. who gave
up only five. 1t was Morgan's own
wildness, plus errors behind him,
which cost him the game.
Morgan gave up nine walks, but
only one harmed him. That was in
the sixth inning when he walked
Catcher Pat Murphy. Mack Posnack
followed with the only hit of the
inning, single to center. Murphy
swished around to third, and in an
attempt to cut him off there, Pepco's
centerfielder, Leatherwood, bounced
the ball into the crowd. Murphy
scored and Posnack pulled up to
third, counting a moment later on
Huck Stahl's outf1eld fly.
With the city title once again. in
their possession, the Heurich players
will represent Washington in the ma
tional sandlot tournament starting
Saturday in Birmingham, Ala, leav-
ing tomorrow afternoon.

BY WALTER McCALLUM.

1t seems strange to be writing
about Henry Litchfield West, who
was so active among all the golfers
Of this town only a few years ago.
Henry died yesterday. He died
as he would have died had he willed
it; Of a heart attack. Henry would
rather-possibly-have died on the
golf course at the Columbia Country
Club, for he loved that club and
that course as few men have.
You see Henry Litchield West,
District Commissioner, favorite
newspaperman of Theodore Roose-
welt, president Of Columbia in
the reorganization days, and one
of the best golf writers anywhere,
loved the game of golf and particu-
larry as it was played at Columbia.
Henry was 81 years old, the death
notices said
But he was far less than that in
spirit and in ability. Heavy with
honors won in newspaper work over
two decades, former District Com
missioner, Henry began writing golf
in 1921. He served as a golf writer
for II years. From his pen came
some of the finest yarns on golf.
He was known from coast to coast,
always affectionately. He will be
missed around Washington and in
other places along the links circuit.
First President of Writers.
Henry was the first president of
the National Golf Writers Associa-
ton. I remember his election-in
1924-and how well he served in
those days when the golf writers
were few-and good. And how well
he did his job. Henry has been out
Of the golf writing business now for
eight years, and lot of people have
asked me from time to time, do
you ever see Henry" Gladly 1 have
been able to answer, Yes, and he
looks fine"
But lately Henry West had not
been well. Past 80 years old, he
hadn't played golf for several years.
On his 74th birthday I wrote how
he had played the Columbia course
in 88 strokes. 1t seems impossible
that such friend of golf and the
golfers of the town has gone. For
Henry, the older Columbia members
will recall. was president of that
club during the critical reorganiza-
ton years, when the club moved
over from Brightwood to its present
location. Often he told me, I'VE
started Columbia-the present club
on a shoe string" Henry had "a
lot to do with that. A bright soul
has gone, one who will be missed.
Heading for the supreme test of
the year, Washington's trio of quail
flers for the national amateur cham
pionship, were to leave town today
hoping to get in few practice shots
this afternoon at the Winged Foot
course, near Mamaroneck, N. Y,
where the championship will open
next Monday. Ralph Bogart and
Billy Shea of Congressional, and
Earl Skinker of Columbia, the three
lads who qualified last week in the
sectional tests, were to drive to New
