ID. T.. Golf Association
Meets Tonight 10
Elect Officers
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

The Executive Committee of the
District Golf Association will meet
tonight at the Indian Spring Coun-
try Club to choose a lineup Of new
officers and probably to agree to
hold at least two tournaments
probably to be played as 36-hole,
one-day affair The other may be
a mixed foursome affair to be held
in collaboration with the live-wire
Women's District Golf Association.
Albert z. Steinem OF Woodmont,
long an Executive Committee men,
Der, is slated to become secretary
of the association, succeeding DR..
william C. Barr, who plans to re-
sign. DR.. Barr has had distin-
guished career of more than "A
years service as secretary of the
DGA.
Utz's Resignation Uncertain.
Whether the planned resignation
of DR.. A. T. Utz of Indian Spring,
president of the association, will
come about depends on develop
ments at the meeting. DR.. Utz has
served since February, 1912, and
wants to resign, but Harry G. Pitt,
vice president, has said he would
rather not be considered for the
presidency. Pitt is president Of the
Middle Atlantic and Maryland State
links organizations, and If chosen to
head the DGA would become the
first man to head all three organiza-
tions at the same time.
Not since 1941 has q District
championship been held. At its last
annual meeting in February, 1912
the District association, acting on
the same principle that impelied
the United States Golf Association
to abandon tournaments for the
duration of the war, announced
suspension Of the District cham
pionship. Now the situation has
changed and many local amateurs
believe the District association
should revive its annual events.
Pro-Am Event Attractive.
Perhaps Is local pro and amateur
linksmen were at Baltimore's Hill
endale Club today, playing in one
of those Maryland State pro-am
and handicap Journeys, a three
ring circus affair that usually draws
a large field. The next pro-am,
following today's event, will be held
August 81 at the Rolling Road Club,
near Catonsville, Md, with another
scheduled for the Prince Georges
Country Club here on September 81.
Several Washington seniors may
play in the Maryland senior cham
pionship August "a at the Country
Club Of Maryland near Towson. En-
tries will be taken by Andy Gibson,
club nro lln to AUGUST 70.

GOSHEN, N. Y, Aug. 8.-The test
for the 3-year-old trotting cham
pionship comes down to the Ham
bletonian at Good Time Park today
with Titan Hanover such an out
standing choice that he will be
barred from the wagering.
With the little bay that hung up
a world record of minutes fiat for
2-year-olds last year theren be lS
other horses in the race for the
purse of S51 ,046 96-the richest since
1882. The IA colts and five f1llies,
which will parade to the post at 3
pm, Eastern war time, for the first
of the two out of three mile heats,
make up the largest field in the
l9-year history of the trotting
classic.
Titan Has Perfect Record.
The Hambletonian has been won
by such great trotters as Grey
hound, Rosalind, Volo Song and the
Marchioness but none stood out as
does the colt that E. Roland Harri-
man and Maj. Elbridge Gerry took
out of the yearling sales for $4,000
He never has lost race and prepped
for the blue ribbon sulky event by
winning handily the championship
Stallion and National Stakes this
year.
Titan will be in the second tier OF
the first brush but under Harry
Pownall's guidance he should have
no trouble going to the front within
the first quarter mile and setting the
pace the remainder of the way
Barring additional rain the racing
strip will be fast but Shirley Han
overs race record of 2:011a appears
safe since Titan is not expected to
be extended.

Veoch's Death REEVES Dispute
Over Top OutfieId of All Time

Bobby Veach's death in Detroit
yesterday revived the ancient base
ball argument about the best out
field combination in the history Of
the game, with the Veach, Ty Cobb
and Harry Heilmann trio of the
1917 Detroit club coming in for a
large share of attention.
Vach was one of the outstanding
hitters of his day, although the
names of Cobb and Heilmann are
best remembered by the fans. Clark
Griffith picked him in 1925 AS in
surance when the Mats were on
their way to their second straight
penfant under Bucky Harris, and
fans will recall how Veach, ente.-
ing the game as q pinch-hitter in
the ninth inning. spoiled a no-hir
performance for Chicago's Ted
Lyons.
Whether the Detroit outfields OF

win, was barred from the wagering
after track officials and the New
York State Racing Commission de-
cided there was a probability OF a
minus place and show pool. Under
the New York State law the tracks
are required to pay off at the rate
of $2.10 for a 50 bet.
Victory for Titan will be worth
$27 ,6O8.33 to Hartman, New York
financier, and Maj. Gerry, high
ranking polo player before joining
the 9th Air Force. Word of his
promotion to a major was received
yesterday.
With Titan Hanover out of the
betting, the w. N. Reynolds COM
bination of Reyland and Karina is
expected to be the choice in the
mutuels. Reyland is considered the
strongest of the pair and has been
consistent performer back of the
favorite.
Others rated in running for a
part of the rich purse are 1t. Col
Dunbar Bostwick's Kimberly Han
over, Octave Blake's Axomite, Jo-
seph Burke's Mighty Ned, Earl
Shropshire's Earl's Spencer Jane
and H. A. Jackson's Sea Forth Lad
Ensign Hanover Victor.
In the opener of the three-day
Grand Circuit meeting, Ensign
Hanover, owned by Mrs. James B.
johnson, jr., of Rochester, Mich.
won the $500 Greer Stakes for q
year -old PAGERS in straight heats
yesterday. Driven by Sep Palm OF
Indianapolis, the chestnut colt
scored by a half length and full
length over j. M. Davis His Lady
which finished second in both races
Because of rain, the program was
curtailed yesterday and the Arthur
Tompkins Memorial for 2-year-old
trotters was postponed until Thurs

clubs consider them in the same
category with nonconference games
played by college teams.
Four nonchampionship games are
scheduled for Buffalo. N. Y; two
in Bethlehem, Pa; one In Balti-
more and one in Akron, Ohio. The
latter probably will be transferred
to Philadelphia. The league con-
tends it is necessary to play in
outside cities because major league
baseball parks are not available
until after the World Series in
October.
Most clubs last year did all their
travelling by day coach and with only
one game a week can do the same
this year, LAyden told ODT. Green
Bay, which meets the College ALI
Stars at Chicago the latter part of
this month, will make the trip in
private automobiles.
Set for Training Period.
Meanwhile. the various teams
were ready for the training grind,
with Green Bay slated to start to-
morrow. The Redskins, due to open
camp at Georgetown University
Monday, will be the second team to
begin, with quarterbacks and CEN
tiers ordered to report tomorrow for
preliminary work. President George
Marshall was scheduled to arrive
here today from California.
Cleveland will start work at Bowl
ing Green (Ohio) University Satur-
day and the Pittsburgh Steelers will
open up Monday at Brookline, a
suburb of the Steel City.
Other camp sites and starting
dates are: Philadelphia Eagles, Au-
gust 10, at West Chester State

Veach, Cobb and Heilmann. or
Veach, Crawford and Heilmann
were tops, as some say, is hotly
debated baseball topic.
Just as many fans will vote for
the old Boston Red Sox trio of Iris
Speaker, Harry Hooper and Duffy
Lewis, and you can find as many
more who veer toward Bob Meusel,
Earl Coombs and Babe Ruth.
Best of the modern gardening
trios in most opinions was Joe Di
Maggie, Charley Keller and Tommy
Heinrich of the Yankees, and Stan
Musial, Enos Slaughter and Terry
Moore Of the st. Louis Cardinals.
Veach, 81. was native of st.
Charles. KY, and played with the
Tigers from 1912 to 1923, after which
he performed successfully with the
Red Sox, Yankees and Washington

An ODT ruling on pro footpall
nonchampionship games was ex-
pected today or tomorrow following
a conference between Commissioner
Elmer Layden Of the National
League and Col J. Monroe john
son, head of the Government
agency.
Layden, here for the second time
within a month, was cloSeted with
johnson yesterday and was to meet
him again today in summing up
the leagues case. There was no
inkling from ODT what its decision
would be, but Layden had several
points in his favor.
The pro football spokesman has
outlined a plan by which league
teams can reduce their normal
mileage 80 per cent, cutting the
usual number of preseason games
from a to 13. Travelling by water
between such points as Detroit and
Buffalo would mean a further re-
duction, while teams with non
championship games scheduled will
not return to their home, sites be-
tween trips, thereby eliminating
more nonessential travel by these
"stopovers."
Redskins Booked for Four.
Washington's Redskins are sched-
uled to make a preseason swing
that will take them to. Cleveland,
Chicago and Buffalo before return
ing home " meet the champion
Green Bay Packers in another nom
championship struggle at Griffith
Stadium. The Skins fourth pre-
season game is against Detroit at
Baltimore. If ODT rules against
these games it means Washington
fans will not see two Of the Ma
tional Leagues outstanding clubs,
since they are not on the Tribes
championship list.
Layden also has pointed out that
the leagues warmup games are part
of a regular program, without which
it would be difficult for the loop to
operate financially. These games
always have been played and pro
