Mac Smith Ahead in Los Angeles Open : Capital Golf Leaders Change Rapidly
SCORES FEW 63
IN 17,500 TOURNEY
Scot Makes “In Nine” With
• 32 Strokes—Other Golf
Stars Do Well.
BV BRIAN BELL.
LOS ANfaELEE, January 9 —
Macdonald Smith, a ailent
Scot from Carnoustie by
vay of New York and San
Francisco, stepped out in front of
131 of his fellows today to lead the
first round of the Los Angeles open
golf championship with a sparkl
ine 69.
The veteran, who tied for the open
championship of the United States
more than 21 years ago. gave no sug
gestion early in the day that he was
about to take the Hillcrest Country
Club's golf ccmrse apart later on. He
was out In 37 strokes, two over par and
good enough for an ordinary performer,
but nothing to grow enthusiastic about.
Coming back the fireworks started
with a birdie 3 at the tenth hole and
three more birdies to follow, the final
count for the second nine being an
amazing 32, four under par. Smith, who
won the Los Angeles open twice, in 1928
and 1929, was an ordinary golfer going
out but his fine game converted him
into a star of the first water coming
home His wood shots today would have
been a model for any competition any
where.
Several Press Leader.

Ray Mangrum. Los Angeles, formerly
of Texas; Dallas Jeffers, Santa Ana,
Calif., and Clarence Clark, Bloomfield,
N J 'were bunched at 70, a stroke bet

to tie Smith, for he reached the 466
vard home hole with two fine shots and
left himself only a short putt for the
birdie which would have given him 69.
Laffoon. a public links pro, had a 35

*°Gene Sarazen, Leo Diegel. Larry

his 71 by scoring an eagle at the home
hole and Hagen bagged a birdie
Tom Telefer. Berkeley. Calif., ama

slmon pures with a good 72. Charley ;
Seaver. Stanford student, was second
amateur with 74.
Boomer uers score.
Aubrey Boomer, British born pro,
Jong resident in France where he was
a perennial champion, could do no
better than 75 today. Tomekichi
Miyamoto, former open champion oi
japan, had to be satisfied with 78 and
Rakuzo Asami, current Japanese cham
pion was a stroke behind with 79.
A. G. Sato, Japanese resident of San
Francisco, was better than the boys
straight from Japan, with 77.
The Hlllcrest course, not a long lay
out but very sporty, was not a puzzle
to a big part of the field playing the
first 18 holes of the $7,500 champion
ship today. More than a score came
within a stroke of par. or better and
almost as many more were in the 73
bracket, a strategic position after the
^Oene Sarazen, putting with a copy
of Bob Jones’ famous Calamity Jane, a
club he had not used until yesterday,
used only 14 putts for the fim nine
holes and as a result played this dis
tance in 34 strokes. He was not so
good coming home.
Ed Dudley, defending champion;
John Golden, John Black, Joe Kirk
wood and Olin Dutra were among the
well known players with 72s for the
first round. A1 Espinosa, George Von
Elm. Johnny Farrell. Harry Cooper and
Wiffy Cox were among the favorites
off to a start of 73.
Zimmer maims Do Well.
Emory Zimmerman. P. G. A. cham
pion of Oregon, scored 72, and his
brother, A1 Zimmerman, Northwest
open champion, was only one stroke
away, with 73.
Hagen, affectionately called Old
Master," putted well from a slightly
changed stance, and in spite of losing
two strokes from unfortunate wood
shots, he finished with a bang among
the leaders. , .
The second 18-hole round will be
plaved tomorrow with the 72-hole com
petition completed by 36 holes Monday.
Only the low 50 and ties will continue
in the competition after tomorrow.

Flyweight Champ and W elter
Flash on Nursery Ring Card
A CHAMPION and a top-notcher
will appear In the weekly
boxing show at Portner’s Arena
Tuesday night on the Alex
andria Day Nursery's card. The champ
U Midget Wolgast, recognized by the
New York and Pennsylvania Commis
sions as ruler of the flyweight division,
and Buster Brown, contender for the
welterweight title and star of Max
Waxman’s stable.
Wolgast will square ofT with Billy
Lenders, blonde ripper from Norfolk,
and Brown will meet Sammy Braunstein,
popular local Marine. Both bouts are
scheduled for eight rounds.
Wolgast's appearance wdl be the first
time since Harry Greb showed at Kenil
worth that a champion has been seen
in action in this vicinity. The Midget
has just returned from the Coast, where
he laced Speedy Dado, widely rated the
second best flyweight in the country.
Buster Brown is well known here. He
whipped Mike Sarko at the Midcity
Arena last Summer and recently met
Benny Leonard at Baltimore in a 10
round bout. Leonard defeated Brown
after a match bristling with action.
Landers is an idol of local ring folk.
Not once in six visits to rings in this
vicinity has he failed to give the cus
tomers a run for their money.
His last bout here was with Frankie
McKenna of Baltimore, whom he easily
defeated. Three times he had McKenna
on the floor, but could not put him
away. He was declared a sensation the
night he stopped Jimmy Trsmberia at
Fort Washington in the second round
with a murderous right.
Many are predicting Landers wdll be
knocked out by Wolgast. They point
MIDGET WOLGAST.
out that the Norfolk lad cannot stop
a left hand, a weapon with which
Wolgast is a master.
Braunstein, although he lost to Harry
ICid Groves last week, is a great favorite
with the fans. Groves had a 9
pound pull in the weight and many
thought the Marine should have had
the decision.
The preliminaries feature Jesse Belt
vs. Bingo Brodie. Marino Marini vs.
Louie Guglimini. Billy Reed vs. Soldier
Shasburger. An opponent is still being
sought for Gabe Novos.
Women again will be admitted free
with escorts to all but ringside seats
and there will be no boost in the prices.

TWO local golf clubs were admit- !
ted to membership in the United

1931, according to the report of
the Executive Committee of the U. S.

are the Kenwood Golf and Country

fessional, who believes that the balloon
ball is a better ball than the 1.62 by L68
ball which now is the standard for
play adheres to his belief In his own
plav. Freddie continues p’aying the
standard ball of last year, despite the
fact that most of the men with whom
he plavs use the new standard golf
ball, and as a result can gain a few
yards on him from the tee. He has
claimed for a year that the new ball
handles better through the fairway
and is an all-round good ball. He has
been getting around Columbia in the
low 70's quite regularly with the old
ball. _
AFTER two highly successful years
as president of the District Wom
en's Golf Association, Mrs. Frank
R. Keefer of the Chevy Chase Club
has been chosen for a third term, the
first time in the history of the asso
ciation that a president has served
more than two years as president.
Mrs. Keefer's re-election to the presi
dency for a third term appears to be
a fitting recognition of her hard work
In the post of president. There is no
doubt that the association affairs have
progressed smoothly under the leader

The Washington Golf and Country
Club, which has been jokingly nick
named the Washington Golf and

of many of the members for contract

of its first duplicate bridge tourney this
week. Several score pairs have entered
the tourney.
THE annual meeting of the Maryland
State Golf Association will be held
next Friday night at the Rolling
Road Golf Club, at 8 o'clock, and will
be attended by delegates from most
of the clubs about Washington which
are members of the association. A
Nominating Committee, consisting of
the presidents of the Chevy Chase
Club, the Baltimore Country Club and
the Rolling Road Club, has submitted
the following slate of officers to be
voted on at the meeting: For presi

The year 1932 will be a very Impor

the organization will be asked to aid
in the staging of the national amateur
championship at the Five Farms course
of the Baltimore Country Club next

rounds for the mldatlantlc section may
be played at one of the golf courses
about Washington. Either Columbia or
Chevy Chase is in line for the sectional
ttests.
60 Per Cent Drop
In Golf Receipts
By the Associated Press.
XTEW YORK, January 9 —Whether
it was due to Bobby Jones'
retirement from competition or
merely the fact that fewer fans
could afford the price of admission,
receipts for the country's three ma
jor golf meets suffered a slump in
1931.
Figures released by the United
States Golf Association today reveal
there was a fall-off of more than 60
per cent from the previous year,
when Jones packed 'em in during
his spectacular rush to the world
championship.
Maybe it wasn't entirely Bobby’s
fault, as receipts for the women’s
national dropped in proportion to
those for the men's events.
Here are the figures on gate re
ceipts.

NET BALLOT VICTORY
TO HOLCOMBE WARD
Defeats Van Bloem for Presidency
of Eastern Lawn Tennis Associ
ation in Spirited Election,
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 9.—Holcombe
Ward today was elected president of
the Eastern Lawn Tennis Association,
defeating P. Schuyler van Bloem, can
didate for re-election, by 9,550 to 2,250.
Ward's election was a triumph for
the so-called "old guard" of the asso
ciation and came after three hours of
debate, in which personalities were
freely exchanged.
Louis J. Curruthers, president of the
United States Lawn Tennis Association,
spoke in favor of Ward's candidacy,
and Louis B. Dailey, former president
of the U. S. L. T. A., presented the case
for Van Bloem.
The issue was taken solely on na
tional aspects of the situation. Van
Bloem recently charged Ward with a
policy of non-co-operation In Eastern
Association affairs and with attempt
ing, through his "Committee of 100,”
to keep control of the national body
In the hands of a “small, highly-organ
ized group on the Atlantic Seaboard.”
Van Bloem had been president of the
association for three years.

'DEPRESSION FIS
10 TROUBLE GOLF
$90,000 Purse for Winter
Meets Only $11,000 Shy
of Last Season’s.
B.v the Associated Press.
HICAGO, January 9 - Th* Win
ter's annual gold rush of golf
is on and there'* plenty of
gold to be found.
Albert R. Gates, business adminis
trator of the Professional Golfers' As
sociation, today estimated that, desnlt.e
business conditions, approximately $90,
000 in prize money would be distributed
in the Winter tournaments throughout
the West and South, an estimate only
$11,000 short of last Winter's big com
bined purse of $101,000.
"Golf has held more nearly to nor
mal than any other sport through the
present economic crisis,” Administrator
Gates said. "Major leagues report *
15 per cent decline in atendancc dur
ing the 1931 season. Foot ball at De
cember fell off from 15 to 30 per cent.
Boxing has taken a tremendous tumble
I in popular appeal. Yet tournament
golf had a fine Summer and is start
ing a very promising Winter season.
"The P. G. A. Tournament Bureau
has scheduled approximately $90,000 in
prize monies for this Winter, as
against $101,000 last year. That
amount may not seem large when com
pared to foot ball, boxing and hockey,
our Fall and Winter sports, but it at
least indicates exhibition golf is main
taining a healthy status while other
commercial sports are suffering from
existing conditions.
-The risk the playing professional
assumes is not paralleled in any other
branch of sports. The professional
golfer wagers his time and talent at his
own expense and the result is that a
field competing in Winter events often
leaves more money in a city than it
takes away. In one way, the golf pro
fessional is a strict amateur, for he al
ways pays his own way.”
CAVALIERS PREPARING
FOR BOXING DEFENSE
Southern Conference Champions
Meet Duke Saturday—Lose
Winning Bantam.
UNIVERSITY, Va„ January 9.—Vir
ginia's boxers axe getting ready to open
their 1932 defense of the Southern
Conference ring title against Duke in
Durham next Saturday night.
The Cavalier leather-pushing squad
received a setback at the start, when
John Paul, veteran bantamweight and
one of the seven men on the team that
won the conference tourney, was forced
to go to the hospital for an opera
tion, He will not be able to box this
season.
Johnny LaRowe, coach of the boxers,
in looking about for a man to fill In
the 115-pound class, has his eyes on
Mark Russell, a promising new man
from Williamson, W. Va.
LaRowe is also hunting for a light
heavyweight. Capt. Fenton Gentry, the
Chattanooga, Tenn.. boy. who won the
light-heavy title last Winter, has put
on so much weight that it Is certain
to be impossible for him to get down
Into the 175-pound division.
Lewis Reiss, captain-elect of foot ball,
is the lad who may fill the gap. Reiss
boxed one match as middleweight a
season ago, but he, too, has added
poundage and there is some doubt as
to his ability to get down Into the light
heavyweight group without weakening
himself.
Bobby Goldstein, featherweight
champion of the conference, and Doug
las Myers, middleweight title holder,
both reported for practice after the
Christmas holidays In fine condition,
and Coach LaRowe is counting on them
to defend their titles with skill.
Tom Fishburne, son of Charlottes
ville's Representative in Congress, will
probably be in the lightweight class, j
with the welterweight division filled by j
Harold Stuart, who comes from Okla- i
homa City, the home town of Bcb j
Rainey, last season's captain, who twice j
held the welterweight championship. |

wrestling's most colossal flg

landed by promoter Joe Turner for
an appearance here.
Plnet/.ki has been signed to ahow
In Washington for the first time
next Thursday, when he will tackle
Don Del.nun In a special prelimi

Plnetalcl has never been pinned
to the mat and some, including Joe

stands 6 feet 8 inches and weighs
286 pounds.
However, neither his height nor
weight plays the major part in his
record. It is his arms, abnormally

of this giant's success. His reach is
96 inches.
The latest Tall Tower is said to
be the greatest piece of wrestling

-BY PERRY MILLER
HREE hundred and flfty-one dol
lars is a pretty expensive price
to pay for an afternoon’s Ash
ing but it cost William Shep
herd of Accotink, Va., just that amount
for the 67 black bass found in his pos
session, landed using a seine in Pohick
Creek, just where it enters Gunston
Cove Shepherd was Aned $5 for each
Ash and S10 for hauling a seine and
court costs by Justice of the Peace
Arthur D. Kerby of Groveton, Va. His
companions, Walter Maddon and Charles
Phelps, also of Accotink, were Aned $10
and costs for hauling a seine.
The arrests were made by Game
Warden Harry Johnson of Arlington
County last Thursday.
Judge William S. Snow of Alexandria,
Va , who is also a member of the Com
mission of Game and Inland Fisheries
of Virginia, is determined to break up
the seine evil. He is being ably assisted
by Game Warden Johnson.
The cases of these men may be ap
pealed, but with the courts of Virginia
doing all in their power to put a stop
to these illegal methods of taking bass
it appears certain to be of no avail.
THE United States Bureau of Fish
eries is quartered in its new of
fices in the Department of Com
merce Building. There is nice clear
water in their 38 new aquariums and
three floor pools, but as yet not a fish
has been placed in them. The officials
of the bureau are hard at work trying
to convince Congress that it should
have an appropriation of $10,000 a year
for the maintenance of these aquariums.
DEVOTEES of the hook and line who
think of fishing in terms of streams
rippling under balmy breezes and
surrounded by the green leaves of va
cation time may not know that many
thousands addicted to the sport in the
North prefer to hover over holes cut in
the ice, watching to spear fish a la
Eskimo or to jerk them out on ice lines.
While most Northern States have
definite seasons and regulations govern
ing this Winter phase of the sport,
many varieties of fish may be had by
this method during practically all of
the Icy period.
THE Fly-casting Club of the Wash
ington Chapter of the I. W. L. A.
got off with a "flying” start when
over 50 anglers made their appearance
at the reflecting pool at the foot of
Seventeenth street. In the crowd were
men, women and young boys.
George Cook, past master in the art
of placing a fly in a given spot, showed
the crowd just how easy it was done.
It apparently was very easy for him,
but not so easy for others.
The Fly-casting Club will hold regu
lar meetings when the weather gets a
little warmer.
DR. M. D ARCY MAGEE, president
of the Maryland-District of Colum
bia Council of the I. W. L. A., and
also representative of the league in this
section, rendered what Rod and Stream
considers a very important decision re
cently. He w'as asked by the Cum
berland Chapter of the league what
stand they should take In the action
of a gathering of sportsmen in Fred
erick. Md. This conference was called
by sportsmen to gather impetus to
further black bass legislation in that
State. At the Frederick meeting over
75 per cent attending were me -rs
of the league. These league members
after listening to speeches by several
Baltimoreans, and after offering to con
tribute to the cause, snd^enlv realized
that the work outline'! to them was
merely a duplication o' the league’s
activities. Hence the letter from the
Cumberland Chapter to Dr. Magee.
Before replying, Dr. Magee to?* up
the matter with headquarters in Chi
cago. and also read carefully the con
stitution and by-laws of his organiza
tion. He came to the conclusion that
while the league permits its members
to co-operate to the fullest extent with
all organizations devoted to the inter
ests of the outdoorsmen of America, he
did not think league members should
join other bodies and contribute to their
support, especially when the work out
lined was a duplication of the league's
program.
The old Potomac has muddied up
again after a spell of clear water. This
undoubtedly will mean that the big
catfish usually taken at this time of
the year soon will be in evidence.
Some few years ago when we had ice

commenced to break up and the river
got muddy, the anglers caught big cat

FISHING finesse, rather than brute
strength, is being carried into the
deep-sea fishing game, with in
creased thrills, satisfaction and en
thusiasm for the fishermen as the re
sult. Not long ago. no one thought of
going after the sailfish, marlin, barra
j duna, tarpon and similar species unless
; outfitted with heavy tackle. Heavy
| rods, heavy lines, heavy reel were the
| universally accepted and demanded
! equipment.
Today, however, a growing number of
[ fishermen are finding new zest in deep
I sea fishing through the use of the fly
rod. The lighter tackle, they insist, is
not only more easily handled, but adds
inmeasurably to the sport of p'aying
and landing these fighting species. So
marked has this preference become
that many charter boatmen along the
Florida and gulf coasts are adding the
more sporting light tackle to their
equipment.
Boosters for the light tackle insist
that not only is the sport of playing
the big fellows Increased through its
use, but the big fish can be landed just
as surely and almost as quickly as ■with
the more cumbersome heavy outfits.
The real fun of fishing, after all, does
not come in the number of fish one
lands, but from the amount of play the
angler receives in landing them, which
is unquestionably multiplied by the use
of sporter tackle. A 9 or 10 foot bass
weight fly rod of about 5Vi to 8 ounces,
seerrs to be the preference of the light:
tackle adherents for deep-sea fishing.

No Tourney Winners of ’23
to Be Found in Present
Group of Victors.
BY W. R. MeCALLCM.
IN recent years there has come
about a radical change In the
winning of the major golf
tournaments about Washing
ton. Take a mental journey back
to 1922, which Is just 10 years
back and cast a reflective eye over
the list of winners of the tourneys
in that year. In those days Chris
J. Dunphy, Guy M. Standifer,
'Valter R. Tuckerman and Roland
MacKenzie were the topliners of
amateur golf around Washington.
The year 1922 was a Dunphy year.
Closely pressed by Roland MacKenzie,
who then was coming along last as a
tournament winner, and by Guy M.
Standifer, who had won the District
title in the previous year, Dunphy
swept everything before him. winning
four of the major events of 1922.
In 1923 Roland MacKenzie came into
his own. He wen nearly everything In
sight that year, starting with the
Washington tourney, and winding up
with a defeat at the hands of Albert
R. MacKenzie—his father—in the final
of the Middle Atlantic championship.
For the next two yea.s MacKenzie was
to dominate the tournament field about
Washington until George J. Voigt
came along with his straight and sure
game and Ks brilliant putting, to win
about everything there was to win.
nu uets Along siowiy.
Voigt dropped out of the tourna
ment picture around the Capital after
an impressive string of victories in
1927. and was succeeded by Miller B.
Stevinson, who had been coming
steadily along, with a tournament vic
tory now and then, until he reached
j the top heights in 1928 and 1929.
I Meanwhile. Harry G. Pitt, the leader
I of local golf in 1931, had been picking
| up a tournament for himself here and
j there over the years of 1926 on, but he
had not developed the consistency that
! was to establish for him last year one
of the finest records ever made by a
local golfer.
Today Pitt stands on top of the local
golf world, undoubtedly the finest
amateur golfer around Washington. He
has arrived there by gradual stage*.
Harry’s rise to the top was no path of
roses. He had to figb.t and fight hard
for each niche on the path to the
eminence he now occupies.
Pour years and a little more ago Pitt
j w as just one of a group of young tour
nament players seeking to win the big
j events about the Capital, and how that
j group has changed. There W'ere Page
Hufty of Congressional, A1 Houghton
then of Manor, John Shorey. a young
I ster who graduated from the public
I links to Bannockburn, and Stevinson.
! who was then at the crest of his
game.
Albert R. MacKenzie was not far
back, but he was always a little too
short a hitter to win on a course which
was not fast. Now most of those
names have dropped out of the win
ning column.
MacKenzie, Voigt Gone.
For example. Stevinson, although he
played fine golf, did not win a single
tcumey last year. Shorey w-on the
Woodmont event, and Hufty did not
play. Houghton has become a success
ful and popular professional at Ken
wood Golf and Country Club, Roland
MacKenzie is living in California and
George Voigt has gone on to greater
things in golf than winning minor
tournaments. Voigt is generally classed
as one of the first six amateur golfers
In the United States.
Those winners of early years—
Standlfer, Dunphy and Tuekerman—
have dropped out of the tournament
game entirely. What a change In the
short space of 10 years.
Frank K Roesch, who annexed the
District title In 1930 and did not de
fend his championship last year, won
an occasional event through 1927, 1928
and 1929, but Rcesch has not played In
a tourney since last May.
As tournament winning around
Washington goes today, Pitt stands as
the most likely winner in any event
he enters. There are several young
sters knocking at the door—such fine
players as Everett Eynon, the Columbia
champion; Tommy Bones, the Colum
bia southpaw; J. Monro Hunter, Jr., of
Indian Spring; Roger Peacock of Ar
gyle; Bym Curtiss of Indian Spring
and Jimmy Drain of Washington.
They may be the tournament win
ners of future years. But It Is doubt
ful if any eight years to come will see
such a decided change In the winning
group around Washington as the past
10 years have shown.
