Feminine golfers with handicaps
over 18 strokes will have their in
nings Friday when the second Sec
ton of the tournaments for The
Evening Star trophies will be played
over the rolling Washington Golf
and Country Club layout
There isn't much chance that the
scoring will be as good as that in the
class A tourney yesterday at Wash
ington, but the competition may be
just as close. 1t couldn't be closer,
however, for Betty P. Meckley, the
woman of the moment in local
women's golf. the winner of two Of
three tournaments played, is the
victor again.
In winning The Star event Betty
set one record and came within a
stroke of tieing another She scored
77-t73. Petite Mrs. M. M. Max
we'll of the Army Navy Country
Club, a newcomer to the winning
group among the feminine players
of Washington, scored 90-17-73.
So they we're tied for top net award.
Betty never before had won The
Star Cup, nor have few low-handi-
cap players.
Under the new rules of the Wom-
ems District Golf Association their
scores were matched against par for
the course, Mrs. Meckley getting
strokes and Mrs Maxwell getting
II. Again they were even, both
finishing 2 up on par. But the
new rules cover this situation. They
specify that in case of a second tie
the lower-handicapped player is de-
clared the winner. That was Betty
Meckley. Her II was a single stroke
above the competitive women's
course record, made by Dorothy
White Nicolson about IS years ago.
Mrs. Walper Gross Winner.
To Mrs. Leo Walper, recent winner
of the Keefer Trophy. went the
gross award, also presented by The
Star. Mrs. Walper's 81 led the 83s
scored by Mrs Walter r. Stokes
and Mrs. L. H. Pray of Manor.
And next Friday the higher han
dicapped women will have their
day. If it brings out as close a race
for the twin trophies again to be
presented by The Star, the 1941
Journeys will bring new records
into the 25-year history of the ira
ditiona1lv interesting events for The
Star cups. Entries for the class B
affair, as that for the women golfers
with high handicaps is called, will
close at l pm. tomorrow with Mrs.
r. E. Hotze at Chestnut 8755.
So far this year two women golfers
stand out on their records. Mrs.
Meckley, scoring 79. won the
Keeler Cup tourney at Washington
late in April Yesterday she scored
II to win The Star Trophy. That
adds up to considerable golf for
any feminine competitor over q

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. MAY
2o.-Bothered again by the misery
in his back, sweet-singing Sammy
Snead intends to pass up this week
the fourth Goodall roung robin golf
tournament at Flushing, Long
Island.
He played in an exhibition here
yesterday and then turned toward
home at Hot Springs, Va. He said
he feared participation in the Good

trouble an drum his chances Of
competing in the National Open at
Fort Worth June ST.
The slammer pointed out that the

chance to improve in a heavy
schedule of exhibition matches and
tournament appearances. Last week

the accepted style and, in all sin
cerity, it does have many advan-
tages.
On Brigatine Island. Just north
of Atlantic City. and in one Of the
most productive fishing areas which
We know. there are three of these
fishing piers. There is one in At
lantic City; others in Ventnor and
Margate, and the breakwater at
Longport is natural for the jetty

some 30-odd miles, conditions are
similar. Try it some time.
The practice of hunters, with
priceless Damascus -barreled guns,
to use the progressive burning pow
der loads is causing much concern.
They persist in ignoring warnings
there is no modern smokeless
load safe for Damascus to twist
barrels. The results usually are
barrel rupture and injury.
Some sportsmen believe they are
safe so long as they avoid the extra
heavy long range loads. but this
is fallacy. Twist barrels were de-
signed back in the days of black
powder. 1t is less powerful and
develops a much lower pressure
than any of the modern powders.
Even the so-Ualled light loads Of
smokeless are unsafe.
Many Of the Damascus and twist
barrels are the work of highly
skilled craftsmen. but regardless Of
the workmanship the method Of
combining low-carbon steel with
iron by the weakening heating
process renders these barrels I'M
safe for modern smokeless powders.
We viewed with considerable
alarm last fall down on the North
Carolina outer banks while goose
shooting the habit of guides to
use the high velocity loads in guns
that were made long before the
advent of smokeless powder. Won
dering how the old barrels stood
up under steady shooting when the
recoil of our modern gun indicated
the terrific expansion of the pow
der. In fact, we had some doubt

Grating with manufacturers Of
sporting arms and ammunition to

1erps After Revenge
On Hoyas in Clash
AT Hilltop Today

Undaunted by its 1877 setback In
their first game, Maryland's base
ball team invaded the Hilltop this
afternoon for a return game with
Georgetown's Hoyas at 2:30.
Bob Smith probably will pitch for
the Terps while Winnie Powers, who
started the first game against Mary
land but was removed from the
game after being struck on the
head by one of Catcher Jim Cas-
tlglia's pegs, was slated to serve
'em up for the home team.
This was the Hoyas' first local
appearance since disastrous
northern excursion that saw them
drop two of three games, definitely
squelching their hopes for the un-
official eastern championship.

N. Y. BILL IS OPPOSED
.ASFREE SPEECH CURE

New York City (ILNS).-In state
ment opposing passage of bill now
pending in the New York State legis-
lature, designed to punish propaganda
that might tend to create hatred on
grounds of race, color, or religion, the
New York City Committee of the
American Civil Liberties Union de-
clared that such a law would be as
'inimical to the democratic form of
government" as the evils it is meant
to control.
"The committee shares the general
revulsion of feeling against appeals
to bigotry, ignorance, and intolerance"
the statement continued. "Neverthe-
less we cannot approve solution that
would endanger the fundamental lib
critics of ALL"
In New Jersey, where similar
statute has been in force for more
than five years, there has been no
diminution of anti-Semitism, or any
other form of intolerance, the COM
mittee said. Osmond Fraenkel, coun-
sci for the committee, pointed out
that the proposed New York legisla-
tion is modelled after the New Jersey
act.

CONFERENCES SET
FOR SHIPBUILDINC
LABOR STANDARD

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-In an
effort to set employment standards for
production workers in the shipbuilding
industry, the Office of Production Man.
agement is calling series of zone
conferences, Sidney Hillman, associate
director-general, announced here.
A Pacific Coast conference met in
San Francisco early in March. An
other for the gulf area convenes in
New Orleans, March "a. A third con-
ference for the entire Atlantic sea-
board is scheduled to open March 81
in Atlantic City.
Attending these meetings will be
representatives of all shipbuilding en-
ployers in each area, the member
unions of the Metal Trades Depart
ment, A. F. of L., the Industrial Union
of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers
of America &C. l. o., the Navy De-
partment, the Maritime Commission
and the Office of Production Manage
ment.
To Set Standards
The decision to hold the conference
in the gulf and the Atlantic seaboard
came as result of a recommendation
by the Shipbuilding Sterilization Com
mittee at it's meeting March 8. This
committee, the chairman of which is
Morris L. Cooke of Hillman's staff,
is composed of representatives of en-
ployers in the industry, the G. |. o.,
and A. F. of L. unions in this field, the
Navy and the Maritime Commission.
These zone conferences will attempt
to set standards under the following
categories: basic rates for standard
skilled mechanics; overtime provi-
sions; shift premiums; no-strike and
no-lockout clauses; no limitation on
production provisions; grievance and
arbitration machinery.
The zone standards arrived at by
these conferences will be announced
by the Office of Production Manage
ment as covering all shipbuilding
yards in the areas involved. All en-
ployers and unions within any par
ticular region will then undertake to
make these zone standards part of
their collective bargaining agree
ments.
The Shipbuilding Sterilization Com
mittee includes Harvey Brown, presi-
dent, International Association of Ma
chinists, and John P. Frey, president,
Metal Trades Department, A. F. of L.
