Tied in Queer District Open,
Houghton, Cruickshonk and
WoIper Vie at Richmond

final round at 4:50, had a good last
round. Andy, the stylish Baltimore
Scot, started the first round at 2
pm, after some auto trouble. and
raced around the course. He wasn't
good enough, however, to catch the
top trio.
Cruicky Blows Title, Too.
Cruickshank came very close to
upsetting the whole apple cart on
the final hole, where he blew the
championship after a punk pitch
shot. His ball wound up behind a
sign. and behind fence around
the first tee. While the committee
consulted on what to do Cruicky
made his own ruling, dropped the
ball and played it up feet from the
hole, muffing the putt to win.
AS it was the boys started the
tournament too late On a nine
hole course they didn't get started
until nearly 9 am. That is too
late. The late finishers needed Ian
terms and all the light they could
get.
Big Parker Nolan Of Congress
sional, former Maryland amateur
champ, nosed out Ralph Bogart for
the top amateur award with IA
72-146. Prizes were presented at
dinner at the club last night, at
which three golf writer's were ribbed
up and down the back and retorted
with few choice digs of their own.
More tournaments of the nature
of the Washington Open will go a
long way to help the ailing competi-
tive game in this sector.

Cruickshank' mediocre finish cost
him some of the marbles in little
private match he had against Cox
and Bob Barnett. But Cruicky was
ribbing the other two all the way
around the 36 holes. About the only
time he really got grim was on the
36th green, where he knew he had
that 4-footer to win. Perhaps If he
hadn't been so grim about the putt
he might have made it.
That big Cox gent can do a
POSTMASTER job for us any time
he wants. He handled more than 100
men with all the ease and aplomb
of a Chauncey Depew last night.
And his ribs toward Maury Fitzger-
aid, Merrill Whittlesey and Walter
McCallum were not too barbed.

Albanian Among Best
Never 10 Have Won
National Crown
AT 80, Strikes His Peak;
Few Big Stors Not on
His List of Upsets
BY GAYLE TALBOT,

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Win or lose
In his quarter-f1nals match with
young Ted Schroeder today at For
est Hills, Bryan Grant, jr., that great
little campaigner from Atlanta
vows this is his swan song in the
national tennis championships.
If he is in earnest-and Bitsy
- shakes his head for emphasis-then
it is farewell to the most colorful
competitor of tennis generation
iand good-by to one of the greatest
players who never won the national
championship. He has been semi
finalist three times; never finalist
= Whatever I do against Schroeder,
this is my last swing around the
grass court circuit" declared the
vest-pocket warrior as he watched
the rain come down in sheets and
cancel yesterdays program.
I've had a good time for a long
time, and now I'm going to attend
to my insurance business. Maybe
Ill want to play in some tourna-
mentS around home or down in
Florida If I figure it won't interfere
with making a living. But I'm
through with the big time"
Reaches Peak of Game.
Even if you should reach the
final, Bitsy?" he was asked you
know, you never played better ten
MS in your life than you have this
week"
right, isn't it?" he grinned.
az guess life begins at 80 for me-"
That is the little guys age and
this is as good time as any to pay
him a tribute or two.
1t must have been about 1880 when
the boys came home from the ma
tional clay-court championship and
were grousing that they had been
trimmed by a little termite who
didn't have a thing except a pair
of rubber legs and warped racket. "
That turned out to be Grant, and
he's been at it ever since. There's
scarcely a tennis immortal who
hasn't at one time or another taken
wholly unexpected beating from
the atom"
Brain His Best Asset.
He weighs about 100, clothed, and
needs a cushion under him to see
s. out of a train window. He serves a
tennis ball mildly, and his returns
are medium-pace, to be charitable.
But one of the treats of the current
tournament has been to watch MIN
take the impetuous hellf1re young
sters, feel around thoughtfully until
he found their weaknesses and then
beat them at his leisure.
There might not be another such
player for long time. And what
ever Schroeder does to him today
what will you bet he isn't back next
year?
The rain also washed another
mems quarter-fna match over to
today, the one between Bobby Riggs
and Frankie Parker. In the women's
division, Helen Jacobs meets Dor
othy Bundy and Mrs, Sarah -Palfrey
Cooke plays Hope Knowles of Phila
delphia. That, barring more rain
will bring us to the semifnals in
both departments tomorrow, with
the finals Sunday.
