Weetamoe Tops Would-Be Cup Defenders : Horseshoe Stars Seek Myers’ Scalp
PROVES MUCH BEST
IN VACHT TRYOUTS
Enterprise Is Next in Line
and Yankee Still May Be
a Big Factor.
BY GLEN PERRY'.
Newport, r. i., July 19
<C. P. A.).— The tumult and
the shouting have died
here in this quiet Rhode
Island town. Gone are the cup
boats that have for the last two
weeks dominated Brentons Cove.
Whirlwind is at City Island, and it
Is rumored (hat her mast, alrrady
stepped 21 inches farther forward than
when she was built, will be moved for
ward still more in an effort to correct
the weather helm that makes it im
possible to handle her properly on the
wind.
Weetamoe and Enterprise are at
Bristol and Yankee is hauled out here.
Station No. 6 of th« New York
Yacht Club, at the foot of Thames
street, drowses in the sunlight. All is
quiet and will remain that way until
the vast fleet of racing sloops and
schooners, power yachts, ranging in
size from the Nourmahal aqd the Corsair
down to 30-foot tenders, arrive on the
afternoon of August 2 on the New York
Yacht Club cruise.
The series of observation races "or
the four America's cup defense candi
dates has ended. The selection com
mittee of the New York Yacht Club
has tested the four quite thoroughly
under light and moderate conditions.
The series was designed to give the se
lection committee a line on the con
tenders before the final trials open here
August 20.
Weetamoe emerges from the series as
the oustanding craft of the four. Os
this there esn be no question. It is
equally clear that Enterprise occupies
second place, much closer to Weetamoe
than the standings indicate. The Bos
ton boat, Yankee, is third and it is by
no means certain that she will not be
a very strong factor in the trials.
Whirlwind is last, and while she is
* capable of great bursts of speed off the
wind, she has not yet Showed that she
can beat in a manner to put her any
where near on even terms with the
three other boats.
The four boats compiled the follow- ,
lng records in the observation series: j
Boat. Won. Lost. Pet.
Weetamoe 5 1 .833
Enterprise 4 3 .571
Yankee 3 4 .429
Whirlwind 1 6 .143

CROWDSEMI-FINAL
Three Remain to Battle for
Maryland Title —Hunter
Beats Medalist.
BY WALTER R. McCALLUM.
Baltimore, Md.. July 19— Three
Washington players, one a vet
eran and two youngsters, were
playing today in the semi-final
round of the Maryland Country Club
tournament with one Washingtonian
certain of a place in the final.
Albert R. MacKenzie of Columbia,
veteran of a score of tournament finals,
Monroe Hunter, jr., the 19-year
old son of the Indian Spring profes
sional in one match and Harry G. Pitt, :
the long-driving youngster from the
Manor Club, played Billy Howell, the
Middle Atlantic titleholder from Rich
mond. These four were the survivors
o 1 a fine field which sti rted yesterday
with 10 Washingtonians in the first
flight. Young Hunter pulled the real
surprise of the tourney yesterday when
he eliminated Alex M. Knapp of Balti
more, winner of Jhe medal, on the twen
tieth hole, winning the match when
Knapp over-played the green at the
second extra hole.
MacKenzie played consistent and
good golf to win his matches and Pitt
went to the nineteenth to win in the
second round from Austin M. Porter of
Columbia, holing a 12-foot putt on the
extra hole to win. Billy Howell went
to the eighteenth to win from W. J
English of Maryland.
Lacy Survives.
One Washingtonian survives in the
second flight and a scattering of Capital
players are in the other flights. Her
bert Lacy df Manor survives in the sec
ond flight and the Washingtonians all
were beaten in the third flight. The
fifth flight finds Ralph Fowler the lone
Washington survivor, while in the sixth
there are two Washingtonians. They
are F. E. Butler of Argyle and A, S.
Gardiner, jr.. of Columbia. In the con
solation C. H. Gerner of Manor. Dwight
j Burnham of Manor, C. R. Allen of
Congressional and R. C. Gornley of
j Columbia survive.
Today’s final, if the dope comes
through, will find two Washingtonians
! together, for Harry Pitt should beat
Howell.

! AUTEUIL. France, July 19.-—One
victory already won, America’s tennis
youngsters went out after the two more
: they needed to eliminate Italy in the
Davis Cup interzonc finals today and
gain the challenge round against France.

its first point In the opening singles
match yesterday, conquering Georgio
dc Stefani. the ambidextrous Italian,
after a gruelling struggle, 4 —6, 7—9,
6—4. B—6, 10—8.
Puzzled by De Stefanl’s unorthodox
style, the Texan needed two sets to
find out what it was all about and
then managed to take the next three
to win the match.
The second singles match was post
poned until today, with George Lott
leading Baron Humbert L. dc Mor
purgo. No. 1 man of the Italian team.
De M "rpurgo took the first set. 3—6.
but Lott, playing his best*game, won
the next two, 9—7. 10—8. This match
was completed early today and in the
event that Lott won out the United
States could win the series by nightfall.
The doubles, with Allison and John
Van Ryn matched against Placido Gas-
Uni and Alberto del Bono, were to fol
low immediately after the Lott-Mor
] purgo match.

HP HAS TOUGH
SAILING AT PLAZA
Ought to Go Far it He Can
Get Past Johnson, Crane
and George Kelly.
BOW WOW MYERS, colorful
champion of the Plaza sec
tion of the Metropolitan
District horseshoe cham
pionships, will need many a ringer
to keep his title in the current
tournament, sponsored by The
Star. He has at least three for
midable rivals, two of whom he
wasn’t called upon to meet last
year.
He got past a tough spot in the
last tournament when he defeated
Murray Johnson, the favorite. John
son. a former champion of Minneapolis,
is back with a strong hankering for
Bow Wow's scalp. The latter was a
bit fortunate in his battle with John
son a year ago. He got the jump in
a'2l-point game and before Johnson
could find the range ran out his string.
In a longer match, such as the 50-
pointers being played in the present
tournament, Myers would have found
Johnson at least much tougher picking.
An ominous figure in Bow Wow’s
path is Earle A. Crane, who competed
in Maryland last year and was beaten
in the State final by Millard E. Peake,
who carried on to the metropolitan
crown.
Crane's prowess is known throughout
the metropolitan area and it was ac
counted a blow to the ambitious Myers
when Earle chose the Plaza prelim
inary.
And then there’s George Kelly, whose
ability hasn’t been advertised hereto
fore. Kelly was the runner-up last
year in the Greenback lane tourna
ment but was unable to get away from
business to compete further. Like
Johnson, he lost out in the prelim
inaries when his opponent, Nate Miller,
got the jump on him in a short game.
Prior to the tournament. Miller had
been George's regular victim.
So if Myers can fend off the charges
of these three he will have reason to be
confident of reaching the latest stages
of the metropolitan tournament.
BELTSVILLE, Md„ will have one of
the largest tournaments in Prince
Georges County, with Ed Kruse in
charge. Kruse was the runner-up last
year and figures to be a strong con
tender again. Nearly all of the two
score entered at Beltsville are excellent
pitchers. They include J. Hitaffer, G.
Gibson, G. Reams, J. Tyler, F. Flore,

taken hold sure enough at Vir
ginia Highlands, in Fairfax Coun
ty, Va„ where Harold E. Christ is di
recting. In proportion to population
Virginia Highlands has possibly the
largest entry in the entire metropolitan
event.
Writes Christ: “We don't have enough
time'before dark to get all the horse
shoe pitching out of our systems, so
we’re installing lights on the courts.
When they’re ready I guess some of us
will pitch all night'.
Christ has four regulation courts, and
they're all kept busy.

IN a battle between brother Knights
of Columbus. Edward M. Reidy, chief
counsel of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, defeated John J. Sheehy,
51 to 24, the match being a feature of
the Cleveland Park tournament. Sheehy
kept pace until the twenty-fourth in
ning. where Reidy improved and went
on to win decisively.
G. D. Riley, one of Cleveland Park’s
best last year, was eliminated by G. E.
Chartner, 50 to 24.
Chairman Christoff, runner-up in
1929, took a 50-13 beating from F. A.
Brown. Ouch!
Walter Steele bumped off R. D. Bate- :
man, 50 to 31.
TT was announced before play opened ;
1 that 50-point games would be played
throughout the metropolitan tourna
ment. Apparently some of the chair
men missed this rule and are playing
shorter games. In all such cases the
matches will stand.
However, many preliminaries won’t
be started until next week and the
chairmen of these are urged to adhere
to the 50-point rule.

FOUR rounds have been played in
the team tournament of the In
ternational Chess Federation at
Hamburg, Germany. The teams
of three countries —Belgium, Italy and
Mexico —were withdrawn, and a team
from Spain entered the lists. Eighteen
countries are competing. As this is
written France is ahead with 2 matches
won, none lost and 2 unfinished. Po
land, present champion, is second, with
2 % won, % lost and 1 unfinished. Ru
mania has won 3, lost 1; United States,
won 2 Vi, lost lVj; Sweden, won 2, lost
1, unfinished 1. England has won 1,
lost 1, unfinished 2.
France sent a team headed by Dr. A.
Alekhine, the world champion. Be
cause of illness, he did not participate
in the first round against the United
States. He won his games in the second
and third rounds against the champions
of Rumania and Sweden, but did not
play in the fourth round against Ger
many.
The United States team lost its first
round, playing against France. Mar
shall, United States champion, drew
with Deschamp; Kashdan of New York
drew with Gromer, Anderson of St.
Louis drew with Bctbeder, but H. M.
Phillips of New York lost his game to
Volslrt. This is the only game the
United States team has lost thus far.
Herman Steiner, New York State cham
pion, did not arrive in time to play
in the first two matches, and Phillips
played as substitute.
The United States won from Iceland
in the second round, 3 to 1; from Fin
land in the third round, one game be
ing unfinished, and tied with the strong
team from Poland in the fourth round.
This team is composed of Dr. Tarta
kower, Rubinstein, Przepiorka and
Frylman, the two first named being
masters of the first rank.
The individual scores of the United
States players thus far are as follows,

2, lost 1; Phillips, won Vi, lost 1 Vi; An

ONE of the best match and tourna
ment chess players who ever lived
Is Dr. Emanuel Lasker. He was
bom in Berlin in 1868 and is conse
quently in his sixty-second year. He
began playing when 12 years of age
and when 21 won second prize in a
Breslau tournament, since which time
he has been an acknowledged master.
He won Yhe world championship title by
defeating Steinitz in 1894. Steinitz had
held the title since defeating Anderson,
the recognized champion of the world.
Tasker held the title until he was
defeated by Capablanca In 1921, hav
ing held the title for 27 years. He
was victorious in 21 matches.
At the close of the Hastings, Eng
land. tournament in 1895, in which
Pillsbury came to the front by win
ning first prize in competition with
the leading players, a tournament was
held in St. Petersburg, Russia, in
which Lasker, Steinitz, Pillsbury and
Tschigorin competed. Each player
played six games with every other
player. Lasker won first prize with
the score of 11 Vi won. 6(4 lost; Steinitz
was second. 2 points lower; then came
Pillsbury and Tschigorin. In the Nu-
The Listening Post
I By Walter Trumbull -
THEY say that Charles E. Sorensen
has ordered a 143-foot Diesel
yacht, to be built in Bath, Me.,
which is to cost $500,000. And
incidentally, isn’t Bath an appropriate
place to launch a boat?
You might think that a yacht costing
3500.000 was a bit expensive. Not at all.
That, for a 143-foot boat, is only
$3,496.50 a foot. Persons pay a higher
rate than that for a sailor.
Take, for example, that Boston sailor,
Jack Sharkey. He measures about 6
feet, and, in his engagement with
Schmeling. the customers paid him at
the rate of $29,000 per foot.
Gene Tunney. a Marine, when he met
Dempsey in Chicago, was paid at the
rate of $166,663 a foot. You could build
an oqean liner for that.*
It looks as if Sorensen was getting a
bargain.
THE more the substitution o£. the
Farley for the Queensberry rules is
studied the better it looks. It has
such Interesting room for development.
The new rule ignores fouls, but per
mits any protective device, below the
belt, a man wishes to wear. The thing
to do now is to permit protective armor
above the belt. This would lead to the
revival of the old suits of mail, with
their visored helmets.
But, in that case, a man should be
permitted to arm himself fittingly. The
battle ax, the broadsword and the mace
would come back into use. That would
be great. The constant complaints con
cerning slow bouts would be answered.
Many of us have wished we could
have seen some of those old combats be
tween knights, when the contestants
were encased In steel cans and ham
mered each other like smiths striking
anvils. Yes, indeed, we are for full;
suits of armor. Except, to be sure, the
gauntlets. The men would have to wear
six-ounce gloves to make things legal.

In 1914 another tournament was held
in St. Petersburg, in which 11 of the
leading players of the day participated.
In this tournament each entrant
played one game with every other en
trant, and the five having the highest
scores played two games more with
each other player. At the end of the
first session, Capablanca had a score
of 8 points, which was l l j points
ahead of Lasker and Tarrasch, tied
for second place. Alechin and Mar

sion.
In the remaining eight games. Las

place, a half game ahead of Capa

final session. Lasker defeated Capa
blanca in the final game between them
and in his last game with Tarrach
Capablanca made what the annotator
terms "an extraordinary blunder.”
which cost him a piece, the game and
first prize. The blunder is said to have
probably been due to exhaustion
through his hard struggle with Lasker
the day before.
Lasker won first prize in 10 impor
tant tournaments. He was not a bril
liant player, but he played with great
accuracy.
