Bortz, Hurler, Makes Wilson
Threat to Loop-Leading
Western, Eastern.
WITH Central and Roosevelt
weeded out of the scholas
tic base ball series oham
plonship scrap and Tech
hanging precariously on the edge,
three favored clubs today stood out
in bold relief as title timber, with
little to choose among the trio.
Western’s balance and experience Is
pitted against the pitching and hitting
of Wilson and the well-rounded,
powerful Eastern club. Eastern and
Western, at the top of the heap, with
two victories In as many starts, may
be forced to take odds from the baby
of the series, Wilson, which has won
two of its three tilts behind the im
pressive pitching of the youthful
Kilmer Bortz.
Bortz has struck out 39 men in three
games. 10 against Tech, 16 against
Central and 13 yesterday in whipping
Roosevelt, 7-2. While he is not as
steady as that might indicate, that
kind .of mound work is an important
factor in scholastic base ball, where
errors and diamond insanity are
common.
Eastern's 9-6 triumph over Central
may have jeopardized its title chances,
since Wes Taylor, catcher, will be lost
to the team for an indefinite period
due to a broken knuckle on his right
hand, received when attempting to
spear a foul tip.
Rider Protest Held Futile.
A LTHOUGH Coach Herman Litt
man of Roosevelt played the game
under protest, there 1s little likelihood
of his squawk being upheld. Littman
protested when Ray Deuhring, Wilson
second baseman, threw his glove at a
wild throw from Catcher Buck Barbee,
who was trying to nip Johnny Thrift
at second. Thrift went to third on the
play, but Littman claimed he was en
titled to score. The rule book upholds
Umpire Dike Desper.
Wilson jumped into a four-run lead
in the first inning and never was
bothered seriously by the Rough Rid
ers, although Bortz several times was
forced to pull out of spots which might
have led to trouble had he faltered.

Cubs Bow to Eiders, St. Albans
Is Central’s Victim.
J^OCAL public high school tennis
teams swept the field yesterday,
Central, Roosevelt and Western each
winning impressively, while Tech was
seeking to extend the superiority
streak today when it clashed with
Maryland's crack freshman club at
College Park.
Western's victory packed more pres
tige than the others, perhaps, because
the Red Raiders handed Episcopal
High a 5-4 trimming at Alexandria,
thus marking the first time Episcopal
had lost a match in more^ than five
years.
Tied at the end of eight matches,
Western’s doubles team of Bamum
and Madden swung the verdict to the
Red Raiders, defeating Rhett and Lee
of Episcopal, 7—5, 6—4.
Roosevelt's 4-1 triumph over George
town's yearlings found the Rough
Riders launching their season by losing
only one singles match. Doubles en
gagement* were called off due to
darkness.
Central gained four wins in singles
matches to whip St. Albans, 6-3.
Johnny Swank of Central and Wilmer
of St. Albans staged the hottest match
of the card, Swank winning, 7—9,
6—3, 6—2.

It Costs to Razz Umpires
Paid in full, $25 for one argument. The happily grinning (?)
gent on the right is Burleigh Grimes, manager of Brooklyn’s
Dodgers and champion umpire baiter of the world, shoicn as he
hands President Ford Frick of the National League his $25 check
assessed against him for a run-in he had with Arbiter Tiny
Parker. Thus far this year he has been chased only twice, but
last season he was thumbed out of 20 ball games—a record.

Golf Gossip
■yy/TLFRED COX, otherwise Wiffy,
stood on the seventeenth tee at
Columbia. They'd told him how tough
it was, and how the hole had been
revamped—the front tee to be sure,
but there was a wind in his face.
He wound up and let loose and that
ball, hit with all the Cox power
and all the Cox accuracy, never
touched ground until it hit 10 feet
from the flag. It stopped 6 feet away,
and Wiffy nonchalantly knocked it
in for an eagle deuce. We don't know
how far it is from tee to green. It
must be something like 240 yards
from hilltop to hilltop, but when better
tee shots are hit than that one Wiffy
knocked out, we'd like to see ’em. for
sheer accuracy and pin-splitting dis
tance. One of those things you dream
about, in a way, that tee shot, maybe
another one of those super Montague
1 shots.
It enabled Wilfred to finish 2. 4 for
a 67, and if you think that isn't scor
ing around Miss Columbia’s golf
course try it yourself on your matched
set some day when the wind blows
and the fairways are soft, Wiff
scored the nines in 35 and 32, aided
by the eagle deuce, and even though
he three-putted the fourth green,
which adds up to quite a piece of
golf by the bunter from Brooklyn.
Fred McLeod knows a golfer when he
sees one. "That was quite a tee shot,"
said Fred. "Now, Wiff, can you hole
the putt?” He did.
__
^y7ALTER JOHNSON never was
much of a golfer. His diamond
deeds will live as long as base ball is
played, but while Walter dabbled in
golf he never was able to play more
than a fair game. But out at Con
gressional today the lads are honoring
Walter's name in a game far different
from that in which he excelled over
25 years.
Five or six years ago. when
Walter's arm was fading, and
his fast ball was a shadow,
he gave a golf cup to the Con
gressional Country Club to be
played for annually.
They're playing for it today at
Congressional over 18 holes medal
play. In a way it's sad that the
game which he graced for so many
years hasn't a Johnson day or a
Johnson cup, but what is base ball's
loss is golf's gain, and some 100-odd
golfers are out there today playing
for the cup donated by the squire
of Germantown, Md.
]VJRS. J. H. BULLOCK won the
blind bogey in the ladies' day
tourney at Indian Spring with a card
of 107—20—87. Mrs. Karl S. Giles
was next with 94—10—84, and Mrs.
K. S. Wright was third with 123—
20—90. First among the guests was
Mrs. Gale E. Pugh of Manor, who
had 107—18—89.
Gonzaga's golf team, led by Buddy
Sharkey, licked Devitt. 4 to 2. in a

UTTLE GENERALS WIN
Add Champion Western Nine to
List of Victims, 5 to 1.
Washington-Lee High School’s ram
paging ball team today prized the
scalp of the capital’s scholastic cham
pion, Western, following a 5-1 victory
yesterday at Western.
The Little Generals combed Lefty
Bill Bright for four of the six hits
he yielded and five runs in the sixth
inning Joe Marcey held the champs
to three safeties. It was a snappily
played game, with each team turn

NAMESKENWOOD
PAIR TO BEAT ANY
Pro Arranges to Pit Yoder
Burke Against Peacock
Brownell May 15.
BY W. R. MrCALLUM.
THE beginning of what may turn
out to be a beautiful series of .
links rivalries is about to start
around Washington, with some
half dozen of our better amateurs
linked in a battle royal to be promoted
by Wiffy Cox, the big guy from Ken
wood.
Convinced that he has at Kenwood
a brace of the best simon-pure divot
lifters to be found anywhere along
the golf trail, Wiffy has started sound
ing off about the merits of Levi Yoder,
the raven-haired gent who holds the
Middle Atlantic title, and Johnny
Burke, the Georgetown University
freshman who is the boss of the Rhode
Island State amateurs. And Wiffy has
a right to sound off about ’em. They're
plenty good.
Provided the two gentlemen of the
second part are willing. Iron-Armed
Wilfred is going to toss Roger Peacock
and Bobby Brownell to the wolves in
an exhibition match at Kenwood on
May 15, with another exhibition match
among the four to be scheduled at
another club on the following Sunday.
Peacock and Brownell won't be exactly
lambs in such a links scrap, but Wiffy
thinks that Yoder and Burke can play
the wolf role without any make-up.
Platers Get In Later.
‘•\yisH we could have more amateur
matches around Washington,
and particularly at my course,” said
Wiff today. "I think in Burke and
Yoder we have a pair of boys who can
hold their own in any company. Bring .
on all your amateurs against ’em. I’ll
bet a golf ball or two they can win any
match they start."
Charley Pettijohn, the slim-hipped
kid who plays No. 3 on the George
; town team, chimed !n: "Hey, Wiff,
j Johnny and I can lick any amateurs
j around this town for my dough.”
“Yeah,” said Cox, "but we’ll put our
best against 'em and see what they
j can do and then we'll put in the platers
in.” Which subdued Charley for a
I little while.
Out there at Kenwood the Cox man
has been instrumental in a flock of
j course improvements which will stretch
! the Kenwood layout by 100 yards and
■ more. New tees are installed on many
| of the holes and will be completed on
! others in a few days, which will make
1 the layout a better test of the game.

man R. G. Momsette of the latest
chess group in the Treasury Depart
ment and several cohorts engaged in

May 11 the soldiers will clash with
representatives of the Capital City
Chess Club. Meantime the doughboys
are getting as many workouts as pos
sible for the Four C's constitute for
midable opposition.
J. Neufeld has designed a
rather artistic motif for the
Paul Morphy Chess Club and
offers the chess world his con
ception of a sport flag for the
royal game.
Mrs. Rivero Earns Crown,
rjRAWING with Mrs. Mary Bain in
the semi-final. Mrs. Adele Rivero
swamped Mrs. Kathryn Slater in the
final round of the woman's chess
championship tournament at the Mar
shall Chess Club in New York City
to win for the second consecutive year
the official woman's title of the Na
tional Chess Federation. U. S. A.
The champion is privileged to
represent the federation this
Summer in the international
woman's tourney at Stockholm
and compete against Vera Men
ehik for the world erown.
The international fray is booked
for a fortnight of play. July 31-August
15. As champion of the N. C. P.
(please do not confuse with the
i American Chess Federation, an en
tirely different national set-up from
the National Chess Federation), Mrs.
Rivero will have her expenses paid
should she make the trip to Garbo
land.
The only official unit of the Federa
tion Internationale des Eches (In
ternational Chess Federation) in the
United States is the N. C. F.. which
became the official member unit in
1927 by a clever coup d'etat. Mrs.
Rivero has earned the privilege to
participate in woman tourneys eon
J ducted by this universal body. Her
victory at the Marshall Chess Club
j does not make her the United States
| woman champion at all . . . that is a
question that can only be resolved by
a mutual understanding between the
two national chess federations in this
country.

Mrs. Mary Bain won second prize
although several matches on the
schedule were not completed at the
time of this release.
Marshall Seeks Club Title.
A CHAMPION may retire but that
does not mean he has given up
active chess play. Take, for instance,
this comeback of Frank J. Marshall,
erstwhile chess juggernaut of America.
He stepped backstage a year ago to
let youth have a fling at the crown
he wore ably for 25 years. 8ammy
Rashev&ky, the boy prodigy, won the
crown. But Sammy is too busy thes«
days practicing accountancy to give
much time to defending his place in
the sun.
And Marshall steps from behind the
screen to capture the limelight again.
Hts fine exhibition of chess strategy
in a field of 13 masters, now compet
ing for the championship of the Mar
shall Chess—one of the strongest chess
clubs in the world—has evoked ah's
and oh's from the die-hards in the
Empire City who had whispered in
sotto voce that Marshall was through.
Frank is not through. He has
many beautiful chess games In
his system. He is riding high in
the New York battle with a score
of 714 to Theodore Dunst's 7.
If Dunst does not check the progress
of the veteran then Frank will have
another title to his credit.
And I am eagerly waiting to see
what the younger man will do.
pARKSIDE HOTEL is witnessing a
filtering of chess enthusiasts these
days for, since the announcement that
the only exclusive social chess lounge
in the Nation's Capital will open there
on May 1, curiosity has prompted
many fans to saunter down or up to
the hotel and look over the chess
hangout.
I did the same thing and all I found
| was a bustle of workmen. Some were
| painting the ceiling a soft buff, others
i were shining brass and polishing the
I tile floor.
I understand that, the chess players
j are to have folding inlaid tables,
i Sounds swell! Also, the pawn pushers
| are to play with Staunton pattern
chessmen that cost at least a frogskin
each.
i-or nooks . . . pshaw, did you
know that this outfit has copies
of more than 40 chess maga
zines. printed in every language
imaginable? Yes. sir, and
everything is up to date.
Membership in the lounge will be $3
per quarter or $1.25 per month. Visi
tors always are welcome and the facil
ities are available for the small cover
charge of 25 cents. A non-profit ven
ture, the social chess lounge Is the
answer to a chess player's prayer.
The official opening night will be
announced shortly. A check to the
Social Chess Divan. Parkside Hotel,
will put you in active standing now!
