Contest Of Horseshoe
Stars Is Prelude
To Title Event
l00-Shoe Qualification
Test of Tournament
Opens Tomorrow

Washington horseshoe pitchers. to
most of whom a ringer is cause for
elation, today will have an oppor-
tunity to see how the game is played
by masters and, if they desire, re-
ceive instruction by them.
At the same time the prestige of
the Capital area as center of the
sport will be defended.
All this wen Clayton c. Henson,
boo" to his playmates, meets Bill
Kolf in the windup of team and
individual series between the rank
ing iron tWirlers of Metropolitan
Washington and New Jersey The

merce Building courts on Fifteenth
street NV. near Constitution ave-
nue., starting at 230 o'clock.
New jersey Team Winner.
New Jersey has clinched the series.
for if Henson wins the standing will
be to in the visitors favor, but
the group competition holds little
general interest compared with the
clash between the teams aces. Hen
son for years has held the Met
ropolitan District title and Kolb has
lorded 1t over the flippers of Jersey
Henson easily rates among the top
10 Of the country and Kolb is capable
OF whipping any player in the game.
The Jersevite, however, will be
pronounced underdog today, al
though Henson has had no compe-
tltion since last winter when he
pitched number of matches in
Florida. In one of these he accom-
pllshed feat quite startling to the
horseshoe world. He defeated by
SO to 0 the former world champion.
Blair Nunamaker, Henson stuck on
81 per cent ringers, He twirled
another game in Florida with the
same percentage. Two years ago
he made a show of Jimmy Risk,
another national competitive star
but better known as the world cham
pion trick-shot pitched
Henson has been withheld from
the lntersectional series thus far
to whet interest in the contest be-
tween him and Kolb. The whole
affair was arranged as prelude
to The Stars 14th annual cham
pior1ships, the qualification round
of 100 shoes of which will be tossed
tomorrow. Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings on the Commerce Building
courts, Those who desire to try
their skill should report at the courts

Fy the Associated Press.

tS tne ASSOCl6iFn t1ess,
BROOKLYN, Aug. 15.-With two
out in the ninth inning and his
team trailing by a run, Capt. Dolf
Camilli of the Dodgers blasted his
goth home run Of the campaign over
the right field wall to score Joe
Medwick ahead of him and snatch
a 5-4 victory over the Boston Braves
today
Jim Tobin, who went the route
for the visitors, had two strikes on
Camilli and the fans were starting
for the exits when the Dodger star
caught one he liked and picked it,
It was his third home run in two
DAYS. The blow increased Brook
lvn's lead over the idle st. Louis
Cardinals to 912 games.
French Gets 18th Win.
The Dodgers used four pitchers in
the see-saw struggle, with Larry
French going in in the ninth to get
the decision, his 18th of the year,
The Braves had scored what looked
the winning run in their half of the
ninth without making hit, the re-
suit of walk to Eddie Miller, an at
tempted sacrifice on which both run
ners were safe, successful sacrifice
and an outfleld fly.
In the eighth inning, Manager
Casey Stenge1 of the Braves was
banished by Umpire Larry Goetz
for making a violent protest when
Fernandez was called out at first.
With Tobin limiting the leaders
to three scattered hits for the first
six innings. the Braves held 81
margin going into the last of the
seventh. Pete Reiser opened that
frame by pounding his 10th homer
of the year, after which single
by Dixie Walker, stolen base and
single by Billy Herman, tied the
count at 3-3.
