Post in National Golf
Given Mrs. Morrow
OF Baltimore
Middle AtIontic Sector
Gets Recognition in
Women's Committee

Although the male golfers of this
territory haven't landed candidate
on the big" committee Of the United
States Golf Association since 1923,
the women have done so on their
committee.
Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow of Baltimore,
thrice winner OF the Middle Atlantic
championship and eight times Mary
land champion, has been named on
the women's committee Of the U. s.
G. A. The committee is headed by
Frances E. Stebbins of Newton, Mass.
Other members of the committee,
which in women's golf corresponds
to the National Executive Commit
tee among the men, are: Mrs. Hol-
brook T. Ashton. st. Louis; Mrs. Dan
Chandler, Dallas, Tex; Mrs. Charles
Dennehy, Lake Forest, III; Mrs.
James H. HUI. San Francisco, Calf;
Marian McDougall, Portland. Greg:
Mrs. John Pennington. Cleveland.
Ohio; Mrs. James M Robbins, Mount
Kisco, N. Y; Mrs. Willard E. Shep-
herd. Los Angeles. Calf; Mrs. w. D.
Tumlin, Atlanta, Ga. and Mrs. Ed
win H. Ware, jr., Merton, Pa.
Since 1923 the Middle Atlantic
sector has not had a representative
on the U. S. G. A. Executive Com
mittee. Warren G. Harding, Presi-
dent Of the United States, was the
last executive committeeman from
this area and his appointment was
honorary. although Mr.. Harding was
an ardent golfer The last active
committeeman was DR.. Walter s.
Harlan of Columbia, who was a vice
president of the association prior to
the 1921 Open championship held at
Columbia.
In recent years Robert Stead. jr.,
of Chevy Chase and Robert Mclean.
jr., of Baltimore have served on the
U. S. G. A. Sectional Affairs Com
mittee.

another triumph for Plain Ben. the
Kansas miracle man who brought
Lawrin into the winners circle three
years ago and would do the same
thing with another winter cam
paigner this time.
Then old man jinx started to
giggle and wound up laughing out
loud. Whirlaway popped a splint
and had to be scratched from the
Flamingo. Rumor was that he
had sore mouth last year and 1t
still bothered him. That was why
he always had to be almost walked
out of the starting gate. He finished
five lengths back OF a couple of
second-rate eligibles. He was
beaten again. Then he won, but
his competition wasn't much.
Triple Crown" Threat If Fit.
Now, no one knows just where
the hope Of the stables of Warren
Wright, the Chicago businessman,
fits into the picture. II he comes
round again-and Plain Ben is
working three shifts trying to make
him ready for the Blue Grass Stakes
at Keereland 10 days before the
Derby-heu have lot to say about
who hits the jackpot May 3, as well
as the Preakness and Belmont, be-
cause he's eligible for the whole
triple crown"
Certainly last year he was a
standout. He never was beaten un-
til the photo was developed, and
he usually was running over horses
in the straight drive home Bred
from a sweep mare on Wright's s
Calumet Farm, Whirlaway won
seven of 16 outings and picked up
77,275 in money earnings. which
is lot of hay for any stable. And
every time he won, except once, he
did it after they turned for home
He showed his distance-going and
weight-carrying ability in the Wal
den when he packed l22 pounds
over a mile and a sixteenth in the
slop. He was a lot of horse then
Maybe Plain Ben, the miracle man
can work another one now.

Hogan Earns $1,000,
Tops Winter Golf
Prize Winners
In Front Only in Two
Meets, but Finishes
In Money in All

Professional golfers Of the land
have collected nearly 100000 in
purses over the f1ve-month-long
winter schedule which wound up
at Augusta with a victory for Craig
Wood in the Masters tourney. Ben
Hogan, the diminutive Texan, who
single handed won only one tour
ney, grabbed the biggest share OF
the purse, with total winnings
around 5000.
Although Hogan won only one
tourney-at Asheville last month
and with Gene SaraZen won the
four-ball tourney at Miami, he nm
ished in the money in all the events.

the pros on the tour.
Byron Nelson, P. @. A. champ.
shot the lowest 72-hole score Of the
winter circuit, which started back
in November, when-with S2,500 as
his reward-he played the Miami
Springs course four times in 271
strokes. A month later John Bulla
dragged down $500 for 72-hols
score of 281 in the Los Angeles open.
The pros have played some OF the
finest courses in the world and some
little better than moved hayfields
in their tour. Sam Snead thrice
hit the jackpot. with victories in ths
Bing Crosby affair, the ST. Peters

Tilt Tomorrow Held
Beginning Of Fight
To Escape Cellar
Indions Have More Vets
Than Tigers, Who Defect
St. AIbuns by 81
By GEORGE HUBER.

An early sample OF the District
public high baseball series will be
displayed tomorrow when woodrow
Wilson and ,Anacostia meet in the
opener at $3.50 on the AnacoStia
field. After that, the schoolboy
diamond heroes stack their bats for
Easter vacation and won't resume
competition, except for outside
games, until April %.
Central and Western also orig
inally were scheduled to meet in
an opening game tomorrow, but
because of Central's unprepared-
ness-the Vikings have had no field
on which to practice-this game
has been set back until late in
May. 1t will not be until after the
spring vacation that the teams ex-
pected to be the leaders this sea-
son-WeStern, Eastern. Tech and
Central-display their wares. To-
morroW's game between Wilson and
Anacostia might we'll be the be-
ginning of the battle to escape the
cellar.
Good in Outside" Tits.
The Tigers were impressive in de-
feating st. Adams yesterday, 81, as
well as in defeating Episcopal last
week, 4-2. while AnacoStia on the
same day had bit of trouble while
being defeated by Dewitt, CT. Coach
Carl Heintel of Wilson can't expect
his nine to do much more than put
up a good fight this season in the
title series, however, with only two
letter men returning. These are
Memo Briscuso, his starting pitcher
tomorrow, and Ed Polhamus, third
baseman.
Several other players, however,
have been impressive in early work.
outs and in the Episcopal game,
among them being Don Hillock at
first who promises to be a real hit
ter. Lack of batting punch all
down the line is the current Wilson
weakness. though.
There were indications in the ST
Adams game that Wilson may have
located batting strength, although
more conclusive proof must wait on
more formidable opposition. The
Tigers nicked st. Adams Trimble
for 13 hits.
Briscuso, Carl Saline. Ed Dinkins
and Bob Cave took turns on the
mound for Wilson and scattered five
hits. Wilson unleashed an early
batting attack, compiling TO lead
in the first three innings, and never
was threatened.
Anacostia is in better shape than
Wilson for veteran material, but
Coach ROLAND Lund picks pitching
as his weak point, with not real
speedballer among his crew of seven.
Letter Man Gene Nunnally appears
best of the lot, with Jim Henry, a
newcomer from Oklahoma, to back
him. Jim Flaherty. southpaw, and
John Penn are other leading dia-
mond candidates.

The other letter men at Anacostia
are Elmer Leukhardt at first, Bob
Nolte, second; Joe Soresi, short;
Ernest Schaffer, left field, and Gene
Crawford, catcher. Crawford has
been hitting good in practice, as
have Schaffer and Soresi.
