ager at the new Argyle Golf Club
at Layhill, Md.
Barnhart will be the first PGA
member to hold down the. pro job
at Argyle, which now is in its third
location in 20-odd years.
Barnhart spent most Of the last
year and q half building the Cedar
Point course at the U. S. Naval Air
Test Center, Patuxtent River, Md.
The course was opened for play two
months ago.
Specializes in New Courses.
The new Argyle pro spent his
last year in the Navy as co-pro at
Bannockburn with Lew Worsham
when the club was in the hands Of
the Navy.
Barnhart has been specializing In
new golf courses in two Of his last
three jobs, thus the workings of a
brand new layout will be familiar
to him. After a year and half at
sea he built a nine hole golf course
at Guantanamo, Cuba, while in the
Navy, before taking over at Ban
nockburn.
Barnhart was a member of the
golf team at the University OF
Southern California, but quit
school in 1880 to take up the golf
profession and he has been active
since that time.
Served California Clubs.
He was assistant pro at the LIE
Mesa Club in San Diego and pro
at the Girard C. c. in Van Nuys
Calf. Later he moved to the Mead
owlark Club in Great Falls, Mont.
and from there to the Duquesne
Golf Club IN Pittsburgh before a
four and a -half-year Navy hitch.
Barnhart and his wife and young
daughter will take up residence in
Silver Spring.
Although Barnhart played an oc-
casional round of tournament golf
he had little opportunity to play
or practice while building the Ce-
dar Point Club. He is an advocate
of the -and-hit- 'em golf
and was in the money in several To-
cal events while at Bannockburn.

in two straight love sets.
Sturgess also had f1naled against
Josef Asboth of Hungary, the new
mems singles champ. The women's
final had been all American, Mrs.
Patricia Todd winning the singles
from Miss Doris Hart, while the
Misses Margaret Osborne and
Louise Brough beat Todd-Hart In
the doubles.
Thus, for the first time since the
French international championships
began in 1891, not single French
player reached the 16 final places.

PHILADELPHIA, July 28.-Edwin
David Joost, the comeback kid of the
major leagues at the ripe old base
ball age of 81, has little to say about
his sensational play for the Phila-
delphia Athletics, but he's loud and
loquacious when speaking Of his
prowesS as a seer.
And Mr.. Joost can boast with
rightful pride, for he predicted Con-
ME Mack's AS would be f1rst-di-
vision threat.
1t was back in April shortly after
the American League season opened
that Joost declared he and Ferris
Fain, rookie first baseman, were
going to make" Mack's ball culb.
And he was right.
This fellow Eddie Joost is no
stranger to the major leagues. He
played the infield with Cincinnati,
1939-42, then made National
League shift from the Reds to the
Boston Braves, going on the volun-
tarily retired list in 1914. He came
back In 1945 to play IS games for the
Braves. but in 1916 found himself
back in the minors with Rochester,
of the International League.
Joost hit. 276, clouted 10 home
runs and batted in 101 runs for
Rochester last year and this sea-
son was back in the majors via a
$4,000 purchase by the old sage of
Shibe Park.
Joost reported to the AS training
base at West Palm Beach, Fla,
where Mack took one look and con-
fidently announced, "the AS have
their best shortstop since Joe Boley
played for my last pennant winners. ="
Jost then proceeded to prove him
right.
His play at shortstop has bolstered
a position in the AS infield notori-
ously weak for more than a decade.
Joost goes both to his left and right
to make plays that Athletic pitchers
in recent years could see only when
the opposition was in the field.
Additionally he has provided a
spark that seems to have inf1amed
an entire team.
Joost's inestimatable value to the
AS was demonstrated when the be-

developing Confidence

1-DeveIoping Confidence
Most of us have an instructive
fear of water. A non-swimmer
shows this by his sudden rigidity
and tensing Of muscles when
taken shoulder deep. and told to
submerge his face.
I want to blast a pet and false
saying OF some old-timers who
say: Take him out in boat and
throw him overheard; he'll learn
to swim by the time he gets to
shore"
He will not. He'll get the scare
of mis- life, and once he's pulled
out of the water you couldn't get
him back with a team of horses.
Fear of water is mostly instinc-
tive and not easily controlled by
will power. Here's how you can
overcome it. Go into the water
about shoulder deep. Jump up
and down several times. Splash
water over your shoulders, and
it will not be long before you are
feeling fine and enjoying the cool,
clinging yield of the water.
Now, open your mouth wide
and take a deep breath. Then
close your mouth and put your
face or whole head into the
water. ExpelI your breath
through your nose. Bear in mind
that water cannot enter your
nose while air is coming out.
While swimming you do all your
breathing this way--the exact
opposite of what you do at other
times. In through your mouth
and out through your nose.
Did you know you can see
under water? Try opening your
eyes the next time you put your
head under. 1t will seem like
looking through green-blue
glass. Don't mind slight irrita-
ton you might get from the
water in your eyes. II the water
is clear it will 60 away in a
moment or two, and you will
enjoy your ability to see under
water. 1t also helps take away
your instructive fear of water.
It's much better to do anything
with your eyes open than it is
with them shut. CONTINUED to-

SEA BRIGHT, N. j., July 28.-
Tennis experts refigured their form
sheets today as they studied upsets
of the 59th annual Sea Bright Lawn
Tennis and Cricket Club Invitation
Tournament. -. -. -. = - s..--y. zs.
Upsets were tallied-one Of them
by default-in both the mems and
women's singles championship
matches. The tournament was con-
cluded yesterday.
Third-seeded Dorothy Head Of
Alameda, Calf, scored major up
set when she defeated top-seeded
Shirley Fry of Akron, Ohio, rs,
.6-4, to take the women's crown, and
second-seeded Gardnar Mulloy Of
Coral Gables, Fla, was handed the
mems crown when top-seeded Frank
Parker of Los Angeles defaulted.
Parker explained his action was
the result of pulled muscle and
chest blood clot. 1t was the third
time in the 59-year history Of the
Sea Bright classic the mems singles
championship was defaulted.
In the mems doubles finals, Bill
Talbert of Wilmington, Del. and
Francisco Pancho) Segura of Ecua-
dor defeated Frank Shields of New
York and Richard Gonzales Of Los
Angeles, 81, AS, rs, SO.
In the women's doubles champion
ship match, unseeded Mrs. Virginia
Kovacs of San Francisco and Mrs.
Marjorie Gladman Buck Of New
York-for q mild Surprise-conque
ed Miss Fry and Barbara Krase Of
San Francisco, ga, So.
The mixed doubles title was won
by Gertrude Moran of Santa
Monica, Calf, and Segura, who de-
feated Miss Fry and Earl Cochel
of Brooklyn, N. Y, Us, 8-6.
Parker said he was told by DR..
Charles Farr of New York that If
he rested he might be able to get
back into action in two weeks. Par
ker added he had decided deflnately
to pass up the Southampton and
Orange tournaments. but hoped to
play in the Newport classic.

Comeback by Joost Provides
As With First-Division Spark

spectacled shortstop was called home

game, Calf, recently.
Mack was forced to Shift his in
field for a night game against St.
Louis and in that game the AS ap-
peared like the cellar dwellers Of
yesteryear as they kicked the ball
around and went down to one OF
their most humiliating defeats.
Mack wired Joost to fly back In
time for the next nights game and
with Eddie again in the lineup play
ing his usual polished game, the AS
again were an alert, heads up, win
ming team.
While Joost's batting average is
only .212, the likeable infielder has
batted in 80 runs and hit eight home

NEW YORK, July 28.-A lot of
fighters have found there's no
money in being light-heavyweight
champion as long as there are
beatable heavyweights around
and in the case of Gus Lesnevich
the most surprising thing is that
it took him so long to make the
discovery A colorless, me-
thodical ring workman for several
years, Gus suddenly busted out as
knocker-out after his dis
charge from the Coast Guard.
-. Here's the way Manager Joe
Vella explains it: "The biggest
purse gus ever got before the war
was about $4,000 for fighting
Tami Mauriello. When he got
$4,000 for fiattening Joe Kahut,
he thought it was all the money
in the world. He said, If the gans
want to see action, I'll gamble
with anybody for that. :. and
then he went over to England and
got $50, ,0O0-that's when he really
turned killer"
