High Golf Scores Mark
Club Championship
Qualifying Tests
High scoring was the rule as club
championship qualifying was com
pleted at one club and passed the
halfway mark at three more in
week-end golf play. The best scores
ran two, six, seven and eight over
par at the four qualifying spots.
Whether the blame lies in the
comparatively poor condition of
most of the courses or the fact
that qualifying in the annual title
tournaments is not as easy as a
non-competitive round, it looks as
though anything in the low 80s will
make the various championship six
teens.
Brownell Finds Going Tough.
Manor Club completed its medal
tests and even District Champion
Bobby Brownel found it rough go
ing as he slipped into a four-way
tie for medal honors at 6-over-par
76s with Earl McAleer, the left
handed ex-champion, Lee Ritter and
P. Miller Jones. They will playoff
for the medal next week. John
Hitchbom, one of the favorites, qual
ified with 80 and Ralph Gibson,
finalist last year to Brownell, barely
made the championship flight with
an 83.
With 32 to qualify at Kenwood,
most of the top players were pretty
sure of making the grade with 73s
by Don Miller and Dr. Joseph
Kendrick and a 74 by Bob Cook the
best to date. George Borsari, Maury
Fitzgerald and Lou Semia followed
with 77s.
Congressional’s championship qual
ifying is 36 holes with William H.
Wenzel’s 77-73—150 the best to date,
six shots better than a pair of 78s
by F. B. Bomar. M. Parker Nolan,
Eugene Pittman and Frank Pace
have not played.
Solomon Leads at Argyle.
The best score to date at the
new Argyle Club is a 79 by Bob
Solomon, a member of the Lehigh
University golf team until his grad
uation there last week. Members
have until next week end to com
plete the trials.
At Indian Spring, the women’s
championship reached the semi-,
final with Mrs. K. S. Giles slated
to play Mrs. Gus Sasscer and Mrs.
Richard Mothershead and Mrs.
Roderick Watson paired in the other
match.
The two best shots of the week
at Columbia Country Club were
scored by F. G. Toy, jr., who scored
a hole in one on the 160-yard eighth
hole and Tomv Webb, who knocked
a seven-iron shot into the cup on
the 373-yard par four third.
Tonight is the entry deadline for
the first annual District Junior
Open match play tournament to be
held Wednesday through Friday at
Georgetown Prep. The age maxi
mum is 20. Frank Emmet is ac
cepting entries at Wisconsin 3847.

Grymes' Folly Leader
In Bay Cruise Class
On Cedar Point Win
By a Staff Carrespond«nt of The Star
GIBSON ISLAND, Md„ Sept. 1.—
Polly, a New York “32'’ owned and
sailed by gray-halred A. J. Grymes,
Jr., of Oxford, Md„ today reigned
supreme in Chesapeake Bay’s cruis
ing division.
The fast Folly won the Chesa
peake Bay Cruising Cup in the slow
motion 100-mile Cedar Point, which
dragged out into the early hours
today.
The Eastern Shore racer crossed
the finish line off here yesterday
morning, about on hour and a half
behind the Navy’s cutter Highland
Light, which was first to finish.
The latter, skippered by Jack
Riggin, receives a prize for first in
Class A, but missed out on the
Cruising Cup which she won last
year, as she was unable to save
time on Folly.
Folly also was first in Class B.
In the racing division which drew
four starters, Aberdeen Curtis’s
Class Lorelei from Gibson Island
emerged the winner.
Twenty-four hours after the start,
only five out of a starting field of 30
yachts had finished. A smart south
erly which blew early Saturday
evening died out during the night
and yachts lay becalmed all over the
course for hours.
D. C. Comets, Penguins Sparkle
In Big West River Regatta
• By Malcolm Lamborne, Jr.
Star Staff Correspondent
GALESVILLE, Md., Sept. 1.—
Two races for juniors today wind
up West River Sailing Club's 18th
annual regatta off here, but for most
sailors the show was over yesterday
with the awarding of silverware in
the three-race series for six classes.
Washington area skippers pretty
well cleaned up in the corpet and
penguin classes, following a number
of upsets in concluding races.
Eric Nordholm, of Washington,
came through with the top comet
prize nosing out Ernie Covert, former
Potomac River ace now racing at
Indian Landing, Md.
Miss Pat Granger, also of Wash
ington, defeated lanky Joe Krafft of
Alexandria for the penguin prize.
Frenzy Barely Beats Scandal.
Nordholm’s Frenzy and Covert’s
Scandal were tied for points on the
i eve of the third race. In this event,
a relative unknown. Barnabas Man
ners of Indian Landing, led the
fleet. But because of finishing at
the tail end of the fleet in first and
second races Saturday, he did not
figure in the money.
Frenzy finished fourth in the last
I race, just a boat length ahead of
Scandal. Leslie Wright's Fan Tan
‘ V, of Washington followed Manders’
boat across the line and ended up in
i third spot in the finals.
Little Miss Granger won the last
i race to break a tie with Krafft. The
I latter dropped to second in the
senes. Kaipn youngs oi wesi
River and Arlington sailed a con
sistent third and, of course, wound
up in that spot.
In the smart Chesapeake 20s class,
young Billy Hartge of Galesville,
led a 20-boat fleet in the Anal race
and clinched the series. Eldridge
Zang’s Shamrock, leading boat until
the last race, received second place
prize, and Buddy Hartge’s Cutty
Sark, also of Galesville, was third.
Another Win for Hartge.
Billy Hartge also scored in the
free-for-all race which wound up
the afternoon.
Other series winners were Hamp
ton one-designs Uh Oh, C. R. Smith,
jr., Annapolis; 20-foot chines, Sally
S., Albeit, Strong, Rock Hall, Md„
and 16-footers, Flying Cloud II, Bob
Ray, Fairhaven, Md.
The fleet sailed a 5-mile wind
ward-leeward course yesterday, but
it was windward-leeward in theory
only. The wind—what there was
of It—went around the clock and
skippers found themselves beating
one minute and running free the
next.
Commodore Oscar Hartge awarded
trophies on the lawn of his home
yesterday afternoon.

Notable performances were made
by Mr. and Mrs. W. Haggin Perry's
February Thaw in winning the im
portant ladies' hunter and Mrs.
John T. Maloney’s Substitution in
taking the open hunters over his
stablemate Prompt Payment. Mrs.
Kenneth B. Schley’s Sir Sarazan
had brilliant performances to win
both the hunter hack class and
the event for 4-year-olds and under.
Discus King Out of Olympics;
Says He Has to Earn Living
By the Associated Press
SIOUX FALLS. S. Dak.. Sept.
J.—Bob Fitch, who holds the
world record for discus tossing,
won't be around when the
Olympics are held in 1948.
It's been a lot of fun, he said
here today, but the strain of
keeping in shape is beginning to
be burdensome and:
"I'm 28 years old and it's about
time I get to earning a living. I
definitely will not compete in the
1948 Olympics.”
The former University of
Minnesota football and track star
now is assistant football, track
and baseket ball coach at Augus
tanna College here.
Fitch set the present discus
record at the National AAU meet
in San Antonio, Tex., in 1946
when he tossed the discus 179 feet
h* inch. He was up near that
figure on several occasions during
a recent tour of nine European
countries with a group of other
American athletes.
"I want an opportunity to go
back to school and complete my
master’s degree,” the athlete con
tinued, “and I Intend to make
coaching my work. This business
of being an amateur is fine, but
I’ve got to earn a living.”
Fitch said he found the Euro
pean attitude toward athletes re
freshing.
"When we crossed paths with
Rita Hayworth, the movie actress,
during our tour," he said, “the
track boys got more attention and
more requests for autographs
than she did.”
Lombardo Piloting
His PCR Conqueror
By the Associated Press
DETROIT, Sept. 1.—Bandleader
Guy Lombardo today was set to
pilot A1 Fallon’s Miss Great Lakes
in the second heat of the Silver
Cup races on the Detroit River
course at Fallon's invitation.
Lombardo, who arrived here by
airplane last night, will partici
pate in the race in spite of the
breakdown of his Tempo VI a few
days ago at New York.
Moreover, he’ll be piloting the
craft that beat him in the Presi
dent's Cup race at Washington,
D. C., last year, when Dan Foster
was at the controls. Foster will
be driving Miss Peps V today.
Miss Great Lakes was forced
out of Saturday’s first heat race
after three laps with Fallon
piloting.

the heavyweight champion posted a
pair of 40s, a bad round for the
champ.
The pros were led by Howard
Wheeler, the colored champion, with
a 72. one stroke better than the
73 of Theodore Rhodes, who is
Louis' private professional.
Three host club players, Mrs.
Hazel Foreman with 95. Mrs. Mag

In other games, Bradbury Heights

since he has only eight games left
to play in the friendly confines of
the Polo Grounds. In the other 19
games he will be aiming for fences
on foreign fields. To date, Mize has
hit 26 home runs at home and 18
away. Eleven of Ruth’s 16 home
runs were on his home field, where
he played in three of the last four
weeks of the season.
If Mize should top Ruth’s record,
he certainly will be deserving of the
crown, since he will have overcome
the road obstacle, the September

would-be champions and the nat
ural pressure that grips any man

Bills NipGrid Yankees;
49ers Rout Dodgers
By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—George
(the Kid) Ratterman is through
playing second fiddle.
Overshadowed in college days by
Johnny Lujack. Notre Dame All
America, and by Buddy Young in
the recent College All-Star football
game in Chicago, the Buffalo quar
terback yesterday guided the Bills
to a 28 to 24 verdict over the New
York Yankees, Eastern division
champion of the All-America Con
ference last season.
It was the opening Conference
game for both teams and the pro
debut for Ratterman. But he per
formed like a veteran as he tossed
for two touchdowns and set up the
other pair with his aerials.
In all, he completed nine of 13
flips for 121 yards as the 32,385 pay
ing spectators watched in shirt
sleeves. It was the largest crowd
ever to see a pro football game in
Buffalo.
While the Bills opened their drive
with an upset, the San Francisco
49ers Came through as expected in
downing the Brooklyn Dodgers, 23
to 7, despite the efforts cf Glenn

Skins Drill Secretly tor Rams
After Lopping 10 From Squad
By Lewis F. Atchison
Star Staff Carraspondtnt
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1.—Loose
ends snipped off by the release of
10 players, the Redskins are set
tling down to serious preparations
for Friday's game with the Rams in
an atmosphere of comparative se
curity and confidence. Five more
men must be dropped before the
league opener at Philadelphia, but
those left know their merits and
demerits will be weighed carefully
before the ax falls.
The Ram game will give them a
chance to prove their salt and in
some positions competition is so
close physical condition may deter
mine who goes and who stays. If
it is decided that way, it will be
tough on a couple of boys limping
around camp.
Yesterday's session was as private
as a love nest as Coach Turk Ed
wards put his hirelings to work on
a defense aimed to stopping Bob
Waterfleld’s passes. It is no secret,
however, that two men will be as
signed to cover big Jim Benton,
the Rams’ league-leading pass snag
ger. Two may not be enough, if
yesterday’s drill was a criterion, for
Baugh, playing Waterfleld’s part,
had no trouble hitting receivers on
the sideline where Benton usually
loiters. The only other solution
would be to hire a squad of house
detectives to watch Benton and let
the Redskins concentrate on the
rest of the Rams.
Skins to Watch Bagarus.
Not overlooked is the possibility
that Bob Snyder might have tried
to bait the Skins by not throwing
to Buggsy Bagarus in the intrasquad
game, but if that is bis strategy it
won't work. At least Edwards looks
for Bagarus to be on the receiving
end of a lot of passes and will give
him an escort every time he comes1
through for one.
The Tribe also is working on its
own aerial offense and looking for
plenty of trouble because Edwards
can’t believe the Ram defense really
is as loose as it seemed last week.
If it is, the Redskins should run
up a dozen touchdowns, but all prob
ably eased up on the throwers and
let them get off some passes that
could have been stopped simply by
knocking down the passer.
Los Angeles sports writers who
went overboard on the Rams earlier
are backtracking since seeing the
Redskins' family quarrel at Santa
Ana and now say the Tribe looks
speedier. The Los Angeles squad
as a whole seems bigger and cer
tainly has more depth in certain
positions, but until the scribes saw
the Tribe in action you would have
thought Washington had no license
to be on the same fiela with the
host club.
The Redskins are nearing their
physical peak for the game for tem
pers are short and players are be
ginning to “beef" about things of
small consequence. A wise crack
that would have passed unnoticed
a week or 10 days ago caused a slight
flare-up today and a siege of home
sickness isn't helping matters. If
the boys can hold that mood—and
their tempers—until Friday night
they'll be in fine fettle for the Rams.
Tackle Ordered From Camp.
The departure of those players
not up to war was marred by one
unfortunate incident. Tackle Bert
Dressier was asked to leave camp
immediately after Edwards was told
the player was trying to persuade
some rookies to sign up with a Ca
nadian football team. It was Dress
ler’s second run-in with the club.
End George Brodston, Guard Ber
nie Brosky, Center Len McCormick
and Tackle Don Bunge were as
signed to Wilmington, the Redskin
American Association farm. They
will report there Wednesday to
Coach George Venerosco, who left
yesterday. Redskin officials regard
all as potential big league talent,
especially Bunge, whose hustle and
drive earned the respect of the en
tire squad. Brodston did so admir
ably in the intrasquad game he was
not assigned to Wilmington until
the last minute, but the Redskin
ends shape up so well it would have
been hard for him to displace an
other.

Two Silver Cup Craft Menace
Miss Peps' Speedboat Reign
By the Associated Press
DETROIT, Sept. 1—The 1947
speedboat reign of Danny Fos
ter's Miss Peps V may be Broken,
at least temporarily, today as
Dan Arena's Notre Dame and
Ernie Wilson's Miss Canada III.
both averaging better than 73
miles an hour for the first half
of the Silver Cup race, carried
an almost insurmountable lead
over the Gold Cup champion
into the second and last 45-mile
Silver Cup heat on the Detroit
River.
Foster, after whipping Guy
Lombardo's Tempo VI to take
both the 1947 Gold Cup on
Jamaica Bay, Long Island, and
the National Sweepstakes Regat
ta at Red Bank, N. J., misjudged
the starting time for the first
half of the Silver Cup event here
Saturday and never was a con
tender as he finished fourth,
the last survivor of an eight
boat field.
Ahead of him—far ahead—
were the Notre Dame, roaring
24-cylindered speedster Arena
brought home first for Owner
Herb Mendelson of Detroit, and
sleek Miss Canada, product of
the Muskoka Lakes resort area,
which Harold Wilson powered
across the line second by a bare
100 yards after eating up nearly
all of a mile handicap she ac
k
cidentally gave Notre Dame at
the start.
Miss Canada, despite her defeat
in the initial heat, rated just as
good a choice to come out of to
day's 45-mile race with the cup
as did Arena.
In the gruelling push in a vain
effort to wipe out the last of
Notre Dame’s long lead in the
first heat, Miss Canada raced the
4H-mile 10th lap at T7.169 miles
an hour, fastest ever done on the
new Silver Cup course.
Miss Canada’s average speed of
73.505 m.ph. for the 45-mile heat
was less than 2-10ths of a mile
under Arena’s 73.685.
Foster, out of it all the way.
was clocked at 64.783 m.ph., more
than two miles an hour slower
than Lou Fageors So Long, which
carried the third-place points
