By WALTER McCALLUM.
One hundred and nine hopeful
public links gents from Washington
and Baltimore will play 36 holes
tomorrow over the East Potomac
Park golf course seeking eight places
in the national public links title
tourney to be played at Detroit
July 22-27, inclusive.
Mast of the field will turn up with
Bore dogs and a bad case of disap
pointment, but three of the Wash
ington qualifiers—if Washington
qualifies three men—will get a free
trip to Detroit from the bulging
pocketbook of Severine G. Leoffler,
the rotund gent who has a monopoly
on public links golf around the
Capital.
Leoffler dons his Santa Claus
costume every year about this time
end digs down in his jeans to help
the public links boys on their way
to the national tourney. All he has
gotten out of it in past years has
been some publicity, some good will
and a chance to swell out his chest
back in 1936 when Claude Rippy of
East Potomac Park went to the final
round in the national tourney staged
at Bethpage State Park, Long Island.
Eightv-One Capital Entrants.
Tommy Doerer, jr„ a lad who
knows what makes the golf wheels
go ’round, will run the show. Tommy
is the golf manager at East Potomac
Park and also is the public links
representative for Washington on
the United States Golf Association
Committee.

Oliver Is No Sorehead.
Roger Peacock and Henry G.
Picard, the national P. G. A. champ,
will meet Cliff Spencer and Claude
Rippy for the District Open pro
amateur championship at Indian
Spring at 2 p.m. today. The two
duos tied for the title in a Red
Cross benefit affair at Indian
Spring last Thursday in a burst
of scoring seldom equaled any
where. Peacock scored an indi
vidual 66, holing out all his putts,
while Spencer played the first nine
in 30. Had Cliff holed out he
might have been 66 or better, but
when Rippy had the hole in hand
Cliff picked up.
Yesterday at Buffalo Lawson Lit
tle, National Open king, met Ed
Oliver in the first of a series of
five matches. This one was played
at Buffalo. Others are scheduled
for Detroit and Chicago. “They
don’t mean anything,” said Ed. “But
we'll pick up some change and have
some fun.”
Oliver is no sorehead. He hasn't
Uttered a single squaws, over ms
disqualification in the National
Open, which he might have won.
"I've seen the boys start every
where ahead of time,” he said. “It’s
done all the time. But I guess it
, doesn’t go in the National Open.”
Little is an admirer of Oliver.
"That boy is all right,” says Law
son. "He got a bad break, but he
hasn’t yelled his head off about it,
and he is getting some’fine pub
licity, which is O. K. He'll win some
day.”
Ed is 23 and has around 10 win
ning years ahead of him.
Sarazen Well Socked.
Gene Sarazen sticks to knickers.
He is the only top pro who shuns
long jeans. But Gene has trouble
getting knee-length stockings to go
with the short pants. He bought
180 pairs in Pittsburgh. "They
ought to last a while,” Gene grin
ned.
That Sarazen guy at 38 years of
age, remains America’s outstand
ing older pro. He has a heart as
big as his chest and courage to
spare.
Wiffy Cox is being boomed for
the presidency of the Middle At
lantic P. G. A., and will accept if
the boys get behind him. Wiffy
would make a fine president and
would stop all the squabbling that
goes on. Wiffy wouldn't let any
scraps go on, for he has a habit
of turning any situation into a
laugh.
Bobby Cruickshank's dad, up in
North Scotland, regularly sends over
6 pounds British money to bet on
Henry Picard to wnn the national
open. "Don't you think you ought
to give him a break and win?”
Bobby asked of Picard. “I'd like
' nothing better,” said Pic.
Mixed Tourney Wednesday.
Wednesday at Congressional a
flock of the gals and boys will
_ gather to play in a Maryland State
Golf Association mixed foursome
tourney. It will be one of the big
ones of the year. Entries will be

Joe Louis, heavyweight champion
of the world, is quite a fellow with
6-ounce mitts, but he isn’t so hot1
with golf clubs.
Joe trotted a heat in the colored
‘’Eastern open” golf championship

Also Costly to Sarazen
Gene Sarazen, the chunky little

think I would have won.”
Gene never been one to pull |
his conversational punches. Nor is
he any part of a squawker. Here's
the way he looks at the Oliver in

self had played off for the cham

have been so busy trying to outhit
each other from the tee I would
have slipped in and won,” he said.

how about me?”

Our guest columnist today is Adaline D. Piper, “curator” for the
famous Gustavus Pfeiffer Chess Collection. Miss Piper wrote on “Collect
ing Chessmen” some 11 years ago for Country Life.
Donald Liddell of New Jersey, a noted engineer, makes a hobby of
collecting chess curios. His collection has been described as the “second
finest collection of chessmen in the world.”
When Mr. Liddell's collection was displayed in the Baltimore Museum
of Art, it elicited unusual interest*
and admiration from tfye hundreds
of visitors that thronged the mu
seum.
Miss Piper wrote of this collection,
in part:
“The most magnificent set, in
which the white king measuring 12
inches in height, the pawns de
clining in scale to 7 inches, was
made for the Emperor Taoa Kwang,
who reigned from 1820 to 1850. The
delicately minute carvings of the
figures, the intricate concentric
balls, one within the other, must
represent a lifetime of endeavor.
Napoleon Carvers* Favorite.
"Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn
show the amazing portraiture in
which the carvers of chessmen ex
celled • • • always the hero of the
royal game: but I have discovered
that it was Napoleon who became the
hero par excellence, the white king
of chess. • • * Arabian, Hindoo and
Chinese chess carvers united to do
him honor.
“The set that called forth the
genuine admiration of the connois
seur was carved in cream and red
ivory by a sculptor's hand. It is
a delightfully humorous one from
“Reynard the Fox.”
“The materials used for the mak
ing of chess are manifold. There
is a wooden set carved by Gov. Wise
of Virginia in 1860. Rosy carnelian
makes a glorified company. Another
of milky agate, which I believe is
Bristol glass; eight Egyptian men
excavated from an Egyptian tomb
are made of clay.
Sets from Many Lands.
"The black and white, as well as
the green and ivory sets, are perhaps
the rarest of the conventional fig
ures in Mr. Liddell's collection, which
boasts one of each. They are with
out figures, the king and queen hav
ing the form of lace-like minarets,
and their carved turrets are very
lovely.
“There are sets from far-away
Iceland, where the natives beguile
the long, dark days with chess; from
Mexico are miniature chessmen
fitting into red lacquer eggs, dainty
enough for Titania's palace, and a
sturdy English variety.
“My favorite set, and I think I

Hosley Ford, metropolitan winner

David Polland. onetime champion of
the defunct American Chess Federation,
tilted with Fred Reinfeld. prolific chess
author, in the fourteenth round of the
1940 United States Chess Championship
Congress to defeat the theorist in a long
drawn-out game lasting 80 moves. Note
that Polland in the end game sacrificed a
rook to force two pawns up to the seventh
rank. Reinfeld resigned rather than con
tinue a hopeless defense.
“Meet the Masters.”
Eight of the greatest modern
masters of chess competed in the
famous AVRO tournament at Am
sterdam. Prior to the tourney Dr.
Max Euwe, then world champion,
sat down and wrote a book. He
called it “Zoo Schacken Zij” (“Meet
the Masters” present title, or liter
ally, “This is how they play chess”).
Few heard of the book until L.
Prins and E. H. Wood recently is
sued a translation under the im
print of Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons,
London.
Dr. Euwe lucidly analyzes the
style of his competitors. Best games
are those illustrating Dr. Alexan
der Alekhin's canny versatility. Sec
ond mention goes to the youthful
Estonian, Paul Keres, a prototype of
the world champion in aggressive
ingenuity.
(July 7. 1940.)

Furr Goes in Training
At Mme. Bey's Camp
For Cocoa Battle
Sylvan Spot Ideal, Phil
Feels, to Fit Him for
Win Next Week
Convinced of the efficacy of train
ing in a secluded spot, far, far from
tempting beer bottles, Phil Furr has
hied himself to the sylvan dells of
Mme. Bey’s training camp at Sum
mit, N. J., to soak up a skinful of
health for his forthcoming duel with
Louis Kid Cocoa. The happy war
riors will blend their talents in the
feature match at Griffith Stadium
a week from tomorrow night.
It was the butterflies flitting in
the sunlight, the dew-kissed mead
ows and the fragrant odor of the
honeysuckle clinging to rustic fences
at Mme. Bey’s conditioning farm
that put Phillip on edge for his re
cent slaughter of Steve Mamakos.
He astounded every one in the Furr
Furever Club, including President
Phil Furr, by his brutal assault on
the Greek and it gave him an idea
for the Cocoa match.
“It couldn’t have been something
I et,” he reasoned. “It must have
been the air and carefree existence
at Mme. Bey’s joint. I’ll go back
there and get me ready to murder
the Kid.”
Phil needs the work. He has a
shoddy habit of running down as
completely as an eight-day clock on
the ninth day after each personal
appearance and needs a lot of work
to get ready. If he comes back
pruned of excess weight and in the
same state of mind that marked his
return for the Mamakos match he’ll
have a good chance against Cocoa,
but if he isn’t at least as good—
and possibly a trifle better—keep
your money in your pocket.
