Al Ritzenberg and Mrs. Herbert Easily Retain Public Parks Tennis Titles
—————— (
Conquer Stocklinski
And Mrs. Keever in
Blasting Style
Haney, Hy Ritzenberg
Reach Doubles Final
With Upset Victory
By BILL DISMER. Jr.
Clamping down like true cham
pions, Allie Ritzenberg and Willie
O'Steen Herbert successfully de
fended their public parks tennis
championships at the Rock Creek
courts yesterday, turning back their
final victims, like all their other
foes, In straight sets.
In decided contrast to his final
match last year with the same op
ponent. who extended him to five
sets, Ritzenberg all but blasted lit
tle Ray Stocklinski off the hard
baked courts. 6—2. 6—3, 6—1, while
Mrs. Herbert, pushed only for a
while during the second set.
squelched the bid of Margaret
Keever. a newcomer from Cali
fornia, 6—2, 7—5.
An upset of major proportions oc
curred in a semifinal men’s doubles
match when the seeded No. 1 team
of George Herbert and John Smith
was beaten by fourth-seeded Stan
Haney and Hv Ritzenberg in a long
uphill fight, 1—6, 6—4, 8—6. The
losers had match point three times
in the 12th game of the third set
but couldn't put the clincher across.
Victory put them in the title round
against Allie Ritzenberg and Phil
Burkom, whom they will meet for
the team title tomorrow or Tues
day.
Heat Hits Spectators.
One mixed doubles finalist will
be determined this morning when
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert meet Dorett.e
Miller and Hy Ritzenberg at 11
o'clock. At 9 o'clock, Mrs. Keever
and Smith are to meet Nancy and
S. P. McCandlish in a quarter-final
engagement with the winners fac
ing Charlotte Decker and Allie
Ritzenberg. possibly at 11.
Despite the intense heat, from j
which the spectators apparently i
suffered more than the players, the
tennis in both matches was of high !
caliber, with all four contestants
driving hard to the end. Play was
continuous in each with only in
frequent pauses for water as courts
were exchanged.
Playing in-his first local tourna
ment of the year, Ritzenberg ap- t
peared a much improved netman ■
over the erratic, oft-erring player
that District fans last knew. Ex
hibiting a new-found forehand with
plenty of power, the champ sent
booming returns across from the
word “play” with Stocklinski often
well nigh flat-footed as the balls
went by. Although a stroke analysis
would show that ’’Stock” beat him
self by more than an ordinary num
ber of errors, many of them were
due to his utter inability to place
his racket in correct position to
meet Allie's sizzling drives. Ritzen
berg also mixed his shots well, forc
ing Stocklinski to the baselines and
then catching him off guard with
tantalizing dropshots.
Easy Going for Ritzenberg.
Only three times during the match
was the loser ahead—at 1—0 and
2—1 in the first set and 1—0 in the
second. Ritzenberg ran off with
the last five games of the first set
and established a 3—1 lead in the
second before alternating the next
three. In the last set, Stocklinski
not only lost the first five games,
but not one of the entire seven went
even to deuce. Twice Stocklinski
was the victim of love games, while
only once did Ritzenberg fail to
score.
Ritzenberg never failed to win on
his service and cracked six of Stock
linski’S* 13.

For a while it appeared that Mrs.
Herbert was to make a complete rout
of Mrs. Keever, taking the first
three games of the opening set and
losing only the fourth and sixth—
both on her own service. But with
the score 3—1 against her in the
second, Mrs. Keever started a rally
which brought cheers from the gal
lery and before Mrs. Herbert knew
It, the score was tied at 3-all.
Mrs. Keever Erratic.
Willie again forged ahead at 4—3
by cracking her opponent’s serv
ice, but Mrs. Keever retaliated to
retie the score at 4-all and then
went ahead for the only time during
the match by winning a deuced
game with two placements. At
this point, the newcomer fell Into
a series of errors which continued
until the end. On her own service,
Mrs. Herbert tied the score at 5-all
and when Mrs. Keever double
faulted twice in the next game
after the score had read 30-all, it
was just about over. Thrice in the
last game, Willie fed her services
which the receiver couldn’t return

Sizzling 736 Revolta Hits Sets
Chicago Open Halfway Pace;
Guldahl Stroke Off Lead
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 20. — Curly
haired Johnny Revolta, long one of
the finest short-iron artists in the
game, demonstrated his wizardry
around the green at Tam O'Shanter
today with a 3-under-par 69 per
formance w’hich gave him a 36
hole total of 136 strokes—and the
leadership of the $5,000 Chicago
Open golf championship at the half
point.
The 29-year-old professional from
Evanston, 111., who had a fine 5
under-par 67 yesterday, gave a bril
liant exhibition of chip and ex
plosion shots in four of his five
birdies as he went out in 36. even
par, and came home in 33. three un
der regulation figures. His ability
around the greens has made him
a consistent money winner for years
and his forte stood him in good
stead today.
Guldahl in Second Place.
In second place as the tourney
headed for tomorrow's 36-hole final
was Ralph Guldahl, two-time win
ner of the National Open title. Put
ting on one of the finishes for which
he is famous, he came in with a
blazing 34—34—68, 4 under par, for
a 36-hole total of 137. He made up
for wildness off the tee with some
fine approaches and brilliant work
on the greens.
The amateur contingent, which
gave the professional brigade a
rousing battle in the opening round,
still was in there ‘‘pitching.” Jim
Ferrier, open and amateur cham
pion of Australia who led the field
yesterday with a 66, came in today
with a 73 for a 139 total which led
the simon-pure entries.
Also in the 139 bracket was Dick
Metz, Chicago professional who had
a 71 today. In the 141 division were
two amateurs, Wilford Wehrle of
the home club, and Willie Tumesa,
former national amateur titleholder.
Wehrle had a second round 69, while
Tumesa took a 73.
Snead Far Off Lead.
Jim Foulis, Chicago, and A1 Huske,
De Kalb, 111., were in the 142 brack
et, with a Chicago professional. Bob
McDonald, and Ben Hogan of New
York, at 143. Among the equalers
of par of 144 for the two rounds
were Ed Oliver, Harry Cooper and
Gene Sarazen.
Lawson Little, the National Open
champion who had a 73 yesterday,
equaled par today for a 145 total.
Sam Snead, a pre-tourney favorite
with Guldahl. could do no better
than a 75 today for a 36-hole total
of 148. This put him well within
the group of some 75 players who
qualified for the finals, but far
away from a reasonable chance of
copping the first prize money of
$1,500.

Black Caddy Garners
Jumping Honors at
Rappahannock
Hughes' Horse Goes Over
6 Feet 2; Show Title
Is Won by Inky
By ROBERT HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Va , July 20.—
Lt. Fred Hughes, jr.’s Black Caddy
and Mrs. George Watts Hill's Inky
took leading honors as the 14th
annual Rappahannock County Horse
Show closed late today before 2,000
sweltering fans.
Black Caddy jumped into the
spotlight early in the afternoon by
winning the knockdown-and-out
class over a 6 foot 2 inch makfthift
barrier after five extra rounds, the
last three of which were survived
only by Caddy and Mr. and Mrs.
W. Haggin Perry's Huntley Glen.
After placing second in one class
yesterday and being shut out until
the final two events today, Inky
closed with a rush to win the Corin
thian class, the championship pre
pliminary and the title.
Robert S. Waters Royalty 2d,
champion here last year and in
1938, was reserve to Inky after plac
ing third in the middle and heavy
weight hunters and second in the
preliminary. In the latter class, Vil
lage Miss, owned by the Perrys
and Betty Couzens’ Repulsion, both
early winners, finished third and
fourth.
Caddy Barely Grazes Bar.
While the height of Caddy's win
ning leap was debated by fans and
officials, the final ruling was 6 feet
2 inches. The three bars rushed
into service were tied on and fell
only after being hit hard. In the
last Jump-ofT Caddy rubbed the top
pole, but did not bring it down,
while Huntley Glen, jumper cham
pion at the Washington (D. C.)
show, pulled down the two top bars
and almost spilled her rider, Mrs.
Perry.
Caddy now holds the enviable
record of having jumped 6 feet or
better four different times.
Spectators narrowly escaped In
jury when H. H. Butz's Hobo, triple
winner here last year, jumped out
of the ring. Rider Malvern Bell
toppled to the ground as fans scat
tered. but no one was hurt.
Inky Scores Near Finish.
Before the last few classes Repul
sion and Royalty 2d appeared ready
to share the championship awards. I
Repulsion, claimed by District fans
as a Capital entry although his
owner is from Pontiac, Mich., was
going. in. excellent .form and when
Royalty began to perform poorly
the strapping chestnut seemed des
tined to win.
However, Inky, with Delmar Twy
man riding, scored at the direct
fxpsnseof w stablemate, Lucky Buck,
in the colorful Corinthian and then
beat out Royalty In the prelim
inary when the four finalists were
shown at a walk, trot and canter.

Kauffman Is Declared
Eligible for Muny
Links Tourney
U. S. G. A. Rules Owner
Of Driving Range Has
No Taint of Proism
By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, July 20—The entry
of Carl F. Kauffman of Pittsburgh,
three-time champion, has been ac
cepted for the 19th annual national
public links tournament, it was an-,
nounced by Joseph C. Dey. Jr.,
executive secretary of the United
States Golf Association.
Kauffman’s status in the tourna
ment, which opens at the Rackham
municipal course here Monday,
was determined today by the Pub
lic Links Committee of the U. S.
G. A. Doubt concerning his eligibil
ity for the tournament arose be
cause of his ownership of a driving
range. Dey said the committee,
found absolutely no evidence to
substantiate a charge of profession
alism in connection with operation
of the range and that Kauffman
would arrive in Detroit tomorrow.
Five Former Champs Play.
Addition of Kauffman to the field
brings five former champions into
action in this year’s event. The
others are Andrew Szwedko. also
of Pittsburgh, the defending cham
pion; A1 Leach of Cleveland, the
1938 victor; David A. Mitchell of
Atlanta, 1934 titlist, and Charles
Ferrera of San Francisco, 1931 and
1933 champion.
Kauffman won in 1927, 1928 and
1929 and was a finalist in 1926.
He opened a driving range several
years ago after his physician had
urged him to obtain outdoor em
ployment.

of 192 went to Kauffman.

tournament is held jointly by
George Aulbach of Boston and Don
Errickson of Alhambra. Calif. Aul

while Errickson equaled it at San
Francisco in 1937.
A majority of the 192 contest
ants. survivors of an original entry *
of 2.601 players, were on hand to

ing it a ’difficult test of golf.”

ball match. Szwedko and a part
ner not yet selected will face Quick
