II the 12-and-under baseball
leagues around town want to
stage q Metropolitan champion
ship tournament. they can have
Grifhth Stadium for the event.
Calvin Grifith says.
A high school youngster from
Alexandria named Ellet Cabell.
acting In no ofiicial capacity and
speaking just from his own In
terest. put the matter to the
Washington Senator'S executive
vice president last week and re-
ceived approval.
Griffth would welcome a
meeting with league representa-
tives from the entire section.
He does not pretend to know the
problems involved In such q
tournament, but says. II feel 1t
would be an incentive to these
boys to play in q big league
park"
Young Cabell has not sounded
out any of the leagues on the
issue. However, he is planning
on bringing up the matter with
the Alexandra Little Major
League. the Springfield and
Mount Verno n-Lee Little
Leagues, the Arlington Little
Major League and with officials
in the District and Maryland
Organizations.
It still is just an idea-dis-
cussed in this space last week
for the first time and as yet not
"a serious item on the respective
league agenda.

The hot streets Of Takoma
Park took little toll Of most of
the runners, in yesterdays an
nual Fourth of July 10-mile
race, with 25 of the 81 starters
able to finish.
The winner was Jack Barry
of the Shanahan Catholic Club
of Philadelphia in SO minutes 81
seconds, 1903 slower than the
course record set last year by
Browning Ross.
Second in / hour 4 seconds was
a former st. Johns student, Jim
Flynn, now running for the Uni
versity of Chicago. st. Anthony's
Club of New York won the team
trophy.

A one-under-par SO by John
II. Barr, jr., minus five handicap
gave him a best ball So in a
three day handicap event, with
Osgood second with his net IS,
w. j. Flather III had II for
gross. Fred H. Warren and Lud-
low King won the best-ball ver-
sion in the same event with a
'58.
For the third straight year the
Air Force team won the Army
Navy Country Clubs annual In
dependence Day intra club
match between personnel of the
Army. Navy and Air Force.
This one was close, with the
winners having 14112 points to
140 for the Army. Those were
the returns with all but one
foursome in. one that could have
decided the match. After q
search of an hour or two fol
the scores somebody discovered
the foursome had quit because
of the heat, so the Air Force VIC
tory was preserved.
The match drew IA players
and a gallery of 200 or more
ringed the 18th green to watch
the foursome finish. The losing
Army and Navy teams had tc
pay for the lunches.
Charles Hammer, a golfer fol
80 years, made his first hole-in-
one yesterday and probably en-.
joyed it more than If he hac
made it the first day he picked
up a club. His brother, Clarence
and several persons standing
around the green witnessed the
four iron shot on the 165-yarc
fifth hole at Westbriar Club.
The comparatively new Pine
hurst system of mixed scotch
foursome play produces some ex-
Itremely low scores, such as the
gross 81 by Capt. Lucille Busch
'USAF, and Tony Popolaski al
Argyle Country Club.
That is an exceptional score
for mixed competition, but in
the Pinehurst system players not
only play selective drives but Sc
lective second shots as we'll. It's
virtually best-ball golf, if it's
golf at all. Helen Hanson and
Robert Stearns had low gross OF
73-10-63.
Dennis Folken, 20-year-old
Rollins College golfer, set a new
unofficial course mark for anna
teurs with a 81.
Norbeck Clubs first Board of
Governors Cup went to Ralph
Cohen with a 90 minus % handi-
cap for a net 64.
A. p. Mills used his % handi-
cap to advantage in winning the
DeMaine Memorial tournament
at Belle Haven with a 1T score
for two rounds minus 46 for a
net 131.
Tomorrow night is the entry
deadline for the Maryland Open

Truffic nishaps eluin, eos for new nutionul record
fby The Associated Press


 The loss of life in traffic ac- cidents in the nations long Christmas weekend broke all holiday records.
 The final tabulation today, including delayed reports, show ed 605 traffic deaths. There were 68 deaths in fires and 105 from various other accidental causes. The overall total was 778.
 The yuletide of 1855 will go down in history as the first time in any holiday period tha motor vehicle deaths reached 500.
 'sHow much longer asked the National Safety Council, twill a civilizel nation endure such mass mayhem?"
 It expressed the hope the staggering statistics will flash a go-slow signal to motorists in the New Year weekend.
 The old record for traffic deaths during any holiday per- iod was established during the lonlger four-day celebration in 1852. It was 556.
 The 1855 Christmas weekend also set a new record for the number of accidental deaths of all types during a three-day Christmas period. The former record was established in 1856 It was 734.
 The counting period for the Christmas weekend this year began at 6 ID. m. Goaal time, Friday and ended at midnight Monday It is reckoned as three days, although the actu- al time was 78 hours. l The all-tirne record for acci- dental deaths of all types was set in the three-day Tndepend- ence Day holiday period this year. The total was 805.
