Golfers Of Both Sexes
Scheduled for Biz
Day Tomorrow
Divots to Fly at Manor
And Congressional in
Two Tournaments

Golfers Of both sexes have q
busy day coming up tomorrow
Divots will fly at Congressional and
Manor, with q brace of Journeys
scheduled during one Of the lean
links weeks of midsummer. Femi-
nine golfers with high handicaps
will compete at Congressional In the
buffers Cup Tourney, closed to
those with handicaps below 18
strokes.
Another Of those joint Maryland
State Golf Association Middle At
lantic PGA amateur sweepstakes
events will be played at Manor.
Lurking behind the scenes is
the gasoline specter, which is COM
ing out In the open nowadays as
more than q ghost. In fact, lack
of gasoline likely is to cut the usual
attendance In half at both events.
May Save Up for Golf.
You don't go far on I gallons q
week. and many people don't re-
gard golf as essential as q trip to
the store for groceries, for example.
Congressional Is II miles from
downtown and Manor is even far
ther. When miles add up too
quickly any one with an eye to
figures can see what IS due to
happen.
Likewise, the District mixed four
some tourney at Manor August S,
and the Middle Atlantic women's
championship at Congressional
starting August 10 are sure to be
hampered by the gas shortage.
Probably a lot of folks will save a
couple of gallons for weekend
trips to the country club, but they
won't be dashing out during the
week. And those jaunts over to
Baltimore to play in tournaments
are out.
A Contrast In Golf.
Even the good ones 60 wrong once
in while. Consider Jack Isaac's
start in the Maryland Open at
Prince Georges last week. Jack
started 3, 3, 5, one under par. Then
he bagged an eagle on the fourth
and a two-over-par on the fifth
and wound up with a II. But
Witty Cox was the marvel of con-
sistency. He bagged eight brides
thrice went over par, and had 2s
pars. The Prince Georges course
target of the Jap beetle plague
earlier in the year, was In excellent

graduating every one, including

Red SOx with
Small Squad

BOSTON, July 9-R - If
there is major league baseball
in 1913 the Detroit Tigers will
have at least limited experience
operating with 19 and 20 player
squads, which probably will be
in vogue instead of the usual Is
man complement.
The Tigers open q 13-game

squaring off with their most
troublesome opponent, the Sec
ond place Boston Red Sox, and
manager Del Baker has 10 play
ers available including Charley
Gehringer, who appears only for
pinch-hitting duties.
Pitcher Virgil (Fire) Trucks,
who was supposed to have faced
the Sox, and outfielder Ned Har-
ris, Detroit's leading hitte r
among the regulars, stayed in
Detroit because of illness. In
fielder Murray Franklin and
pitcher Hal Manders were left
behind with minor injuries, and
outfielder Bob Patrick is not due
to report for another week after
suffering fractured kneecap
more than a month ago.

Vernier, who had already

out against Spruce Inn. His team
mate helped him along with an

winners hit the jackpot in the

walk and double, the latter by
Bobcean, gave Spruce Inn their

Two hurlers, Phillips and Ken
