Place on Curtis Cup Team Is Dettweiler GirVs Golfing Goal
HELEN 10 FOREGO
SECTIONAL MEETS
Congressional Star Will
Adhere to Affairs of
National Caliber.
BY WALTER R. McCALLUM.
HER pet ambition depending on
what she does in the major
tournaments this year, Helen
Dettweiler, Congressional golf
er, is going to pass up the District
and Maryland women's champion
ships in favor of bigger affairs of
national caliber.
Helen's ambition, ever since she saw
the international contests at Chevy
Chase back in 1934, is to become a
member of the United States Curtis
Cup team. She has a chance to make
the team, too, if she performs well in
the tournaments to come during the
Summer and Fall, including a good
showing in the national women's
championship at Memphis.
Needs National Seasoning.
' A S GOOD a golfer as she is. Helen
v has just really gotten started on
her top-flight links career. She is
a freshman in the big leagues of the
game, so to speak, and she needs
more seasoning and more tournaments
to figure as a potential national
championship winner, and a member
of the Curtis Cup squad.
True enough she went to the final
in two Southern tournaments last
Winter, but she will have to do more
than that to win a berth on the United
States team which will meet the
British In 1938. The Selection Com
mittee bases its team choices on more
important tournaments than the
Southern affairs.
“Ever since I saw those girls play
at Chevy Chase in 1934 I’ve wanted
to make the Curtis Cup team,” Helen
says. “It's been my greatest ambition.
But I realize it takes a lot of hard
work and a lot of winning to make
the team. I promised Patty Borg to
play in some of the Western tourna
ments which come at the time of the
Maryland and District championships,
so I won't be able to compete in the
tournaments here this Spring.
New sectional threat.
VITITH the Dettweiler girl out of the
• ’ two championship affairs this
year Mrs. Betty Meckley, champion
of the District of Columbia and of
Maryland, again will be the favorite
to win both titles. But from the way
the girls are talking. Mrs. W. R.
Blokes, a clubmate of Mrs. Meckley
st Indian Spring, may be the gal to
lick. Mrs. Stokes has been getting
around her home course in good
scores, has won a tournament already,
and probably will be the one to beat
in the Maryland tourney at Five
Farms June 8-12 and the District
championship at Chevy Chase June
14-18.
With Helen Dettweiler around,
those tournaments probably would be
come a four-cornered scrap, for Mrs.
Meckley, Mrs. Stokes, Helen and
Marion Brown, the Manor girl, seem
to be the strongest feminine golfers
in this sector.

STRAIGHT OF
.-THE TEE _
By Walter McCallum
THE boys were sitting around the
grill room (they call ’em grills
nowadays) chewing the rag
about Everett Johnson, the
tail blond from Beaver Dam, who'd
| just won his first golf tournament.
i Everett himself was there, lifting a
tall one. Any guy who has just gone
21 holes to win his first big golf
tournament is entitled to relax.
'Hey, I guess this will cost me a
! lot of money.” He looked over at
Forrest Thompson and Jesse Baggett,
Beaver Dam stalwarts with whom he
plays every week end, when Admiral
Peeples lets him off from his job in \
i the Procurement Division of the i
j Treasury Department. “When I get
: back on my stick you guys’ll be taking
1 every dime I make. You know I
r
can't beat those two old birds,” and
he indicated Thompson and Baggett.
“They take me all the time.”
Johnson Modest Lad.
A LL of which sounded kind of
modest for a 25-year-old young
ster who had just won .one of the
big tournaments around Washington,
and in an extra hole match, too. "If
Russ had been putting he’d have
licked me too. Wait’ll I get back on
my 90-stride, and all the boys will
be licking me.” All of which doesn't
take one whit of credit from the win
of the Manor Country Club tourna
ment, which young Johnson, the kid
who seldom qualifies for the top
flight, achieved yesterday.
Johnson brat Russ Holle
baugh, the portly golf ball
peddler, on the twenty-first hole
with a par 4, but that doesn't
begin to tell the yarn of a
match packed as full of thrills
as a 40-mile auto race.
Neither man played well. Both
I scored around 77, but they were as
| close as ten minutes past bwo even
at the eighteenth, where Russ con
ceded a one-footer to the former
East Potomac Park caddy, for the half
which meant extra holes. (
Johnson canned a downhill 8-footer
for a half on the nineteenth, Russ
missed a 3-footer for a win on the
twentieth and then Johnson won the
twenty-first and the match with a par
which will be staged at the Social
Chess Lounge immediately after ex
aminations are concluded, should at
tract much interest.
Social Divan Announces Meeting.
OFFICIAL assembly of all past
and present members of the
Washington Social Chess Divan is
called for Wednesday next at 8 p.m.
BY PAUL J. MILLER, Jr.
JOHN A. MOORE. 38. member of
the Harvard chess team that
won the Christmas tourney of
the Harvard. Yale, Princeton
and Dartmouth Chess League, played
his compatriot, Jackson Palmer, jr.,
class of 39. to a draw in 48 moves
recently at the Boston City Chess
Club to annex the individual cham
pionship of the H. Y. P. D. Chess
League fc- the current year.
Palmer was the former league
champion. In the present in
tercollegiate fray he has scored
2!4-l'4, with Moore topping all
players to the tune of 5-1.
Several matches remain, but the re
sults will not affect Moore’s claim to
the title. Opening rounds were played
at the New1 York Marshall Chess Club.
“Y" School Trophy Award Pending.
"INITIATED on New Year day at the
"*■ Central Y. M. C. A., the all-school
individual chess championship tourna
ment—first of its kind in the District—
is drawing to a close. Only a few
important matches are left on the
original schedule embracing 13 in
terscholastic chess stars.
Robert Knox, erstwhile champion of
the Washington Interhigh Chess Asso
ciation and president and captain of
the Central High Chess Club and
match team, was eligible at the out
set of the tournament for the “Y”
Trophy. His graduation from Central
in January did not affect that status.
The tournament covered all school
players who were students of graded
schools during 1936-1937.
Strangely enough, William
Reynolds of Central High has
succeeded to every office and
title originally held by Knox.
The “Y” Trophy probably will be
contested for in the final round of the
all-school individual championship
tournament by Knox and Reynolds.
Each seems to have identifical scholas
tic chess honors and the playoff, which
tic chess honors and the play-off,
i
instead of Thursday. Players will
please note the change in date and
pass the news along.
It is possible that changes in
the officers of the divan will be
made at the meeting.
Officers at present are I. J. Cur
ran, president; H. M. Meacham, vice
president; Mabel McPherson, secre
tary, and Norval P. Wigginton, treas
urer.
Plans for Summer chess activity
will be discussed primarily. The
game room of the divan is the Social
Chess Lounge. During the Summer
the lounge will not close, but will be
open day and night to accommodate
the chess fans and clubs in the Dis
trict. Clubs that suspend active meet
ings during the Summer months
should take advantage of the facilities
of the lounge.
For the three months of June, July
and August membership in the divan
is available for only $3, and tbis fee
includes any lectures and exhibits that
will be given by the chess editor of
The Star.
Interested players or would-be play
ers should attend the Wednesday
. meeting.
4 when Hollebaugh took three shots
from the edge of the green, A dog
fight any way you take It, and it left
Hollebaugh still a bridesmaid. Over
the last year he's been runner-up in
two tournaments, and he still has to
step up to the winner's window. The
funny part of it is that where he was
2 under par for 16 holes to whip
Claude Rippy in the semi-final he was
as cold as a landlord's heart in the
final' round.
Back to the Mine.
“IJO HUM, now I'll have to go back j
to work and base ball," sighed
Johnson, as he downed the last of his
julep. The tall blond, playing in his
first big golf tournament final, also :
plays first base on the Procurement !
Division base ball team. "Whaddye
hit?" we asked him. "I don’t hit my
hat,” he cracked. "But I’m better at
that than playing golf." Which
wasn’t such a bad statement by a guy
who'd just won an important tourna
ment.
Johnson made the shot of the day.
Prom behind the ninth green, where
he had to play to a slope as slippery
as Fred Astaire’s feet, he almost holed
a pitch and run from 30 yards. It got
him a half and kept a 1-up lead, but
they were all square at the eighteenth
and had to go three more holes before
the blond licked the brunet. But then
blonds have been known to do that
before. I still wonder who the gal
was who had fingers on both hands
crossed as Hollebaugh made his putt
on the final hole. She did a pretty
good job, for Russ didn’t come close.
She was a brunet, too.
Final tournament results: First

FOR RACE BERTHS
Most Content to Beat ‘Low’
for Start in 500-Mile
Indianapdlis Event.
By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS. May 22.—"High
low” was the game at the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway today
Thirty-two drivers put final
touches to their speedsters in an effort
to qualify for the Memorial day 500
mile automobile race. Only 22 places
were left in the starting line-up.
Eight of them were ready to shoot
for "high.” They announced they
would "gun” for Bill Cummings' quali
fying record last week of 123.445 miles
an hour.
Twenty-two of the drivers were
playing for "low.” Their intention
was to go a little faster than the
116.34 miles an hour with which
Deacon Litz qualified last week
The other two—Chet Miller and
Russell Snowerberger—admitted they
were in the middle. They don’t have
the speed to compete with the “high”
shooters and they’re faster than those
playing for 'low.”
Cut In List Likely.
JF MORE than 33 cars qualify for the
race the slowest qualifiers will be
eliminated, and Lltz and Ronney
Householder, the only two who have
made less than 117 miles an hour, ad
mitted they were In danger of being
crowded out of the starting line-up i
The trials were to begin at 1 o'clock I
(Central standard time) this after- |
noon and continue until 7 p.m. They i
will be held during the same hours j
tomorrow.
Jimmy Snyder of Chicago headed |
the list of "high'' shooters. Snyder, j
driving a new- six-cylindeT job built '
by Art Sparks for Joel Thorne, has
made 128 miles an hour in practice.
Others who intended to put up a
battle for the $1,500 awarded for the
fastest qualifying time are Rex Mays
of Glendale, Calif.; Babe Stapp of
Dallas. Tex.; Kelly Petillo of Los
Angeles, Ted Horn of Los Angeles,
Frank Brisko of Chicago, Shorty
Cantlon of Detroit, Harry MacQuinn
of Indianapolis and Duke Nalon of
Chicago.
Thorne to Play for “Low.”
'p'HORNE, who has seven cars en
tered in the race, was listed as
one of those w’ho will be playing for
“low.”
The others included a half dozen

BIG JOB FOR LASH
TO STOP MICHIGAN
Wolverine Is Big Ten Meet
Choice, Despite Indiana
Star’s Likely Score.
By the Associated Press.
NN ARBOR. Mich. May 22 —
Donald Ray Lash, Indiana®
iron man of the distance foot
racing paths, was handed a
superman's share of the job today
of trying to keep Michigan's mighty
squad from taking the Western ,
Conference track and field champ- 1
lonship away from the Hoosiers.
The willowy author of the fastest
two-mile races, indoor and outdoors,
on record, harassed recently by ap
pendicitis twinges, faced the huge
task of defending his title in the long
race and In the one mile, along with
doing wdiat he could to pick up some
points in the half mile, an event not
in his championship repertoire.
Faces Real Mile Battle.
j-|E HAD only his teammates,
Tommy Deckard. who also was
said to be ailing, and Jimmy Smith,
to worry about in the two mile, and
he was not expected to snatch the
half-mile title from Ohio State's
Charley Beetham.
In the mile, though, he had to battle
it out once more with Charles Fenske, I
sturdy Wisconsin junior, the only Big '
Ten star to hold an edge over him in j
conference competition. Fenske con
quered the famous Hoosier in the in
door championship meets of 1936 and
1937. while losing a hair-raiser in the
outdoor title meet a year ago.
It did not appear likely that any
thing Lash and the rest of the
Hoosiers could do, however, could keep
Michigan, paced by its sensational
Negro sophomore. Bill Watson, from
making this thirty-seventh annual
meet the occasion for its fifteenth
championship.
Watson Is Field Star.
ATSON, a strapping, 195-pounder j
from Saginaw, Mich., apparently :
had three individual championships—
in the shotput, discus and broad jump ,
—in his pocket.
He started yesterday by learing the
shot qualifiers with a new- conference
record toss of 50 feet 103g inches,
headed the discus qualifiers with a
lSS-foot-S'^-lnch performance and
did likewise in the broad jump by
leaping 24 feet 4’^ inches on his final
trial.

THE Rover boys, Tom Swift
and Frank Merriwell hop
ped onto Central's track
yesterday in the form of one
curly-haired lad who loved a team
mate better than himself . . .
which is rare in this era of the
Dizzy Deans and Buck Newsoms
... he knew, that by winning a
certain race, his teammate would
obtain a college scholarship.
This boy had trained all season
to win that race, yet he lagged in
back of his mate, hoping, of course,
his pal would win . . . well, it
would be nice to say his pal won,
but he didn’t ... in fact his mate
wilted, so the boy, who already is
a man in the matter of heart,
passed him and finished third . . .
it’s just a bit ironic, because the
kid who sacrificed might have won
himself had he not lagged behind
until assured his teammate would
not capture first place.
Joe Croson, former Tech High,
Duke University and Heurich
Brewer’s basket ball ace, now is an
examiner stationed in New York by
the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board . . . Bill Foley, the veteran
Central landmark, who once coach
ed Mount Pleasant teams to 17
consecutive track championships,
wasn't even present yesterday as
Coach Hardy Pearce won his first.
Charley Norton, who is slated for
a regular twirling berth at Mary
land next year, and Earl Springer,
a crack southpaw prospect, literally
pitched the weak Terp freshman
nine to an undefeated season in
nine games . . . Maryland’s varsity
diamonders currently are wrestling
exams and will not resume practice
until a week before leaving on a
Northern jaunt June 10.
Hap Harden, who never would
predict a winner during the 18 sea
sons he was at the helm of Tech’s
track team, pulled fervently for his
successor, Artie Wondrack, to win,
but it wasn’t enough . . . and
thanks, Hap, for that cigar after
you lost that bet . . . John Dono

things to come, one week hence. Next
Saturday, the men will begin their
tourney on the same site.
Rumors have been flying thick and
fast that Barney Welsh would not play
because of college exams, that Gil
Hunt would forego the event, that
Hugh Lynch would be out of town
during that week and that Dooly
Mitchell also would be away, but it's
pretty safe to say that one and all !
will be in line when the entries close
next Thursday evening.
THOMAS (BUD) MARKET, one of
the game's most popular figures
here before moving to Akron, takes
his love game to court for keeps May
31. That is the date on which he
will marry Jane Flook. who never
missed one of her to-be husband's
matches last season. The pair will
have the ceremony performed at Notre
Dame, Bud's alma mater.
Incidentally, that will ac
count for Mitchell's absence on
that date, Markev's former
doubles partner planning to at
tend the wedding.
Columbia Country Club's tennis
tournament is on in full swing and it
appears that the title lies between
Ricky Willis and Freddy Haas. Willts
was playing some of the best tennis
in town during the last stages of '36
and may start the current season by
taking his club's title.
^^LTHOUGH there has been some
agitation for a change in the I
scheduled start of the City of Wash
ington junior and boys’ tournament !
on June 5, the majority seems sat- i
isfied with the date. A few of the
District's most promising youngsters j
are planning to go to the Southern
championships in Memphis during
that week, but no others are thought
to be affected.
Although school isn't out
until June 23. most of the fel
lows find opportunity to play
tennis after school hours.
Rather than take a chance of miss
ing those who leave town immedi
ately upon the close of school, aside
from the fact that the Middle At
lantic championships for juniors and
boys starts in Norfolk on June 25. The
Star will adhere to the original date.
Unless, of course, a majority favor
a change to either June 12 or 19. Such
requests should be telephoned to the
writer at National 5000.
