EASTERN SHORE FERRY

One of the first things the State
will do when it takes over opera
ton of the Claiborne Annapolis
Ferry Company in June is to pay
off holders of rebate coupons which
were given all Chesapeake Bay
travellers last year in anticipation
of a fare reduction. While the
State has set aside some $4,000
to meet the obligation, it has no
way of determining how many cOu
pOnS will be turned in. For in the
ensuing period many bay-crossers
have either lost or misplaced the
little blue tickets.
Incidentally, the State takes over
the ferry system in a season which
promises to be the most prosperous
in history. Already traffic figures
are soaring and it appears that
Maryland officials got a pretty good
bargain.

Di Maggie Better Hitter
Than SisIer, Cobb Says
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, June % tNANAO.
--Ty Cobb, the left-handed golfer,
was talking about Joe Di Maggie
the right-handed batsman, and his
assault on the consecutive game hit
ting record.
Il remember when George Sisler
set that record of hitting safely in
ii straight games" said Cobb, a
gray old millionaire, but a lively
one. He was playing against my
ball club toward the end of the
streak and the hits were coming
tough, like pulling teeth.
Il guess the strain is pretty hard
on hitter when he builds up run
like that. They say Di Maggie
seemed to be straining a little the
other day, when some kid pitcher
on the Browns Bob Muncriet got
him out the first three times at bat.
But Di Maggie is cool proposition,
He had only one more lick that
day, but he waited for the pitch he
wanted and hit it clean for single.
personally, I don't think streak
like that does the hitter or the club
much good. I had some pretty good
streaks in my time, but I just went
along as usual, waiting EN- out or
taking the gamble that would win
the game, because didn't have any
record in mind That was one rec

GREENWICH, Conn. June 28.-
Lanky Bob Edwards of the Bruns-
wick School, who specializes in puts
long enough to make a pro envious,
and Bill Campbell of Exeter met
today in the 36-hole final to decide
the Eastern interscholastic golf
championship at Greenwich Coun-

Edwards, a Greenwich resident,
eliminated Earle Skinker of Dewitt,
Washington, in the semifnals yes
terday by holing 35-foot putt on
the 18th green for 1-up victory.
Earlier in the round he gained much
lost ground by holing some 30 and
40-footers.
Edwards was down to Skinker
on the 10th tee, but he won the
10th with a 40-foot putt for a
birdie 2, and took the next two holes
with pars. Skinker took the 18th
after halving the 18th and 14th.
The 18th and 18th were halved
and Edwards took the match with
his big putt on the final hole.
Campbell trimmed Horace Cook

the way.

Mrs. Davyin Title Duel
Today al Chevy Chase
With Mrs. Meck|ey
Lowest Handicapped and
Steudiest, Respectively,
Clash in Epic Match

For many months now, since Mrs.
Myron Davy of Columbia became
good enough to be the lowest
handicapped feminine golfer In the
town, the women have longed for
a match with the chips down be-
tween Mrs. Davy and Mrs. Betty
P. Meckley of Kenwood, generally
regarded as Washington's steadiest
linkswoman.
That match was on today at
Chevy Chase, where the two clashed
with the feminine golf champion
ship of the State of Maryland at
stake.
Mrs. Meckley won the Maryland
title in 1885 and 1886, while Mrs
Davy was runnerup last year and
medalist last Tuesday in the tour
ney which was to end today. On
their final semifinal victories yes
terday, Mrs. Davy loomed as the
stronger player, but comparative
scores. as in football, mean nothing
in golf. Mrs. Davy was out In 80
yesterday to whip tall jeanette
Myers of the Baltimore Suburban
Club 8 and 7. Mrs. Meckley played
the first nine in AZ in her 4 and 2
semifinal win over Mrs. Maurice
Click of Woodholme.
Washington Monopolizes Finals.
It's poor consolation to the Balti-
more gals to find two Washington
women scrapping it out for the
State title. Their own State cham
pionships haven't often been won
in late years by the fair golfers
from Baltimore. Washington win
ners over the last few years have
included Mrs. Meckley, Mrs. Stokes
and Helen Dettweiler now a pro.
Down in the lower flights the story
is the same, for only one Balti-
morean survives q Here were the
lower flight pairings today: Second
flight-Ann Mielcke, Hillendale, VS..
Mrs. Ralph Goldsmith, Woodmont;
third f1ight-Mrs. T. N. Beavers,
Manor. VS.. Mrs. Woodlief Thomas.
Kenwood; fourth flight-Mrs. Ed
Widmayer, Argyle. vs. Mrs. r. S.
Butler, Kenwood; fifth flight-Mrs.
L. H. Hedrick, Kenwood, VS.. Mrs.
c. E. MCGOWAN, Manor.
Mrs. Meckley Consistent.
Win or lose today, Mrs Meckley
has piled up the most consistent
record of any Washington woman
so far this year. Three weeks ago
she was runnerup for the District
championship. Before that she had
won the Keeler tourney, and the
Glass A affair in the competition
for The Star trophies The gal is
very good, and has been good over
quite stretch of years. But Mrs.
Davy, by constant practice, has
lifted her game to the level of the
top competition in this neck of the
woods.
She gives most of the credit for
her recent improvement to gray
headed Frank Walsh, Rumson, N. j.,
pro. But also she gets an assist for
her hard work. No woman (or man
playing golf around this town works
harder at the game than Mrs. Davy.

Forward Ball PASSING
Rule Seen as He|p
In Warner Style
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTA-W. A. CBilD Alex
ander. head coach at Georgia Tech
and member of the Football
Rules Committee, feels that the
recent alteration which allows the
ball to be handed forward to any
player behind the line of scrimmage
will be a definite aid to exponents
of the Warner system of play.
THE ball may be handed first
from one backfield man to another
back of the line of scrimmage. or
may be handed forward to a line
man who has come out of the line
of scrimmage and who is at least
one yard back of the line of scrim-
mage when he receives the ball.,
Alexander explains.
Il believe the exponents of the
Warner system will benefit from
this rule because it will help them
on their double reverses. They can
fake man coming behind and then
hand the ball off in front after q
complete spin. 1t will not be greatly
different from the present double
reverse, however"
