Virginia Club Golfers
Big Crown Threats
In Maryland Play
Maryland State Golf Association
has set April 13 as the deadline for
entries to the annual four-ball (or
two-man team) championship to be
played on Sundays from April 18
through May 23, with the exception
of May 2. The last-mentioned date
was set aside in deference to the
National Capital Open.
•The championship will be the first
in which Virginia clubs ever have
competed in Maryland events and
if Washington Golf and Country
dub enters Claude Rlppy and a
partner and Col. Bernard Schriever
at Belle Haven and partner partici
pate, the title easily could cross the
Potomac.
First-round matches will be held
at Manor and Hillendale on April
13. The title was won by the Prince
Georges combination of George
Voigt and Lt. Jim Kinder last year
with Kenwood’s Charles Price and
Don Miller the beaten finalists.
Danny Burton, former profes
sional golfer, now a week-end play
er. at Anacostia, tied W. W. Seay
and, Sandy Spearman for medal
honors- in the qualifying round of
the two-man team championship
yesterday at Anacostia. All had
medal rounds of 70, minus 6 handi
caps, for net 64s.
Match play will begin next week
end with low handicapped players
taking high handicap entrants as
partners.
Although Burton, Seay and Spear
man ordinarily would be scratch >
handicap golfers at Anacostia. the
club this year is handicapping its
members to conform with their
probable handicaps at other courses.
Anacostia is short and comparative
ly easy and scores in the middle 60s
are not uncommon.

Johnson's Debut Left One Fan Unimpressed
Bowling Tycoon Ebersole Reminisces; Misses First Opener in 41 Years
By Lewis F. Atchison
“Sure I saw Walter Johnson
pitch his first game for Wash
ington,” said Arville L. Ebersole.
"And he looked like just another
big, country boy who’d get
knocked all over the lot the next
time out. He had speed, but he
was so clumsy I thought the next
time he faced big league batters
they'd get on to him.”
This was testimony startlingly
different from what we had
heard from some 99,472,539 fans
who claim to have seen the Big
Train make his first major league
run. And you may think a man
nationally famous as a bowling
official would have only a passing
knowledge about baseball mat
ters, but then, maybe you don't
know Ebersole. He's been a
Washington fan since 1907 and
this year's opening game will be
only the second Ebersole has
missed in 41 years. Business
will keep him away. He holds
several of the highest national
offices in bowling and is almost
constantly on the go.
“One season,” he said “I saw
76 out of 77 home games.”
Steady attendance at the ball
park over the years has given
Ebersole a full measure of thrills,
laughs and disappointments. He
still thinks that probably the
toughest game a pitcher ever lost
was Johnson's 2-1 setback by
Cleveland in 17 innings. Tris
Speaker robbed Walter of at least
a tie when he made a spectacular
catch of an almost certain triple
with a Washington runner on
base and two out.
"But 1 suppose JohnsOn’s; 1-0
loss to Boston when he allowed
only one hit was just as tough,"
he added. ' “Harry Hooper hit
the first ball pitched over the
right-field fence for a home run
and that was the ball game.

April 5—Four skating stars from
Washington, D. C., shared, in three
pair skating titles in the national
figure skating championships here
yesterday.
Anne Davies and Carleton C. Hoff
ner won the junior pairs while Lois j
Waring of Baltimore and Walter

Donald Laws of Washington skated

"Your Neighbor Knows Robertson“
*
nrsi, aDersoie recauea, ana no
body knew what to make of it."
One of the best fielding pitch
ers Washington ever owned, in
Ebersole’s opinion, was "Doc"
Reisling who snared anything
within sprinting distance of the
mound. Probably the most irri
tated pitcher he ever saw perform
at Griffith Stadium was Bullet
Joe Bush, then with the Phila
delphia Athletics.
“He boiled over at an umpire’s
decision one day and tossed the
ball into the grandstand,” Ebbie
recalled. “Then he looked over
at the Washington bench and
bellowed, ‘Who left the gate open
and let in those pigs?’ ”
One of the oddest happenings
Ebersole remembered was a twin
defeat of the Nats in which the
muddy condition of an unsodded
portion of the left field helped
to bring on their downfall.
"Baby Doll” Jacobson hit two
triples for St. Louis into the mud
and both brought in the winning
runs.
Ebersole tried his hand at base
ball for a while, pitching for
Emmanuel Baptist Church in the
old Church League, but his 138
pounds were too few for the pace
and he seldom lasted more than
four or five innings. Reggie
Rawlings and Hiram Cash were
a couple of teammates he re
members.
Unable to excel as a player
but badly bitten by the baseball
bug, Ebersole did the next best
thing and became a faithful fan.
We wouldn't be surprised if his
attendance record entitled him
to the town’s No. 1 ranking.

By Ben McAlwee
Washington bowlers hit the jack
pot in two week-end tournaments as
Ray Watson, the silver-thatched
Arcade Pontiac team star, captured
the fifth annual Clarendon Bowling
Center Handicap with a 719 gross
score, and Lorraine Quill and How
ard Parsons won the Recreation

with a combined 1,334 count.

with 57-681 which included a nifty
624 scratch set, tied for 11th place
with Paul Volz, the 1946 victor, who
tallied 30-681.
A spectacular 193 last game by
Parsons in a 709 set, both high for
the Baltimore event, proved the win
ning wallop for the Winn's Motors
team ace and Miss Gulli, who bowled
a lusty 625 in the five-game test.
Only last fall Parsons was a sen
sation on the same drives in win
ning the Recreation Inaugural with
a seven-game national record score
of 1,091. Besides splitting *125, Par

1,302, and Ruth Freeman and Don
Almony, fourth, 1,294.

National Capital Show
Honors Go to Many
D. C. Dog Owners
By Gobrielle E. Forbush
A poised wirehaired fox terrier
bitch, imported Am an Glamour Girl,
came from the classes to go best
in-show as the two-day all-breed
event of the National Capital Kennel
Club, closed last night at the Na
tional Guard Armory.
Her owners, still in England,
Glamour Girl was shown by Seth
H. Campbell for Mr. and Mrs. How
ard J. McGuire of Milford, Conn.
Chosen for the top spot by Mrs.
Katherine B. St. George, Glamour
Girl shared the spotlight with the
Irish setter, Lloyd's St. Patrick,
owned by Mrs. Jessie K. Lloyd- of
Lake Success, N. Y., sporting group
winner selected as best American
bred in show. St. Patrick was han
dled by the veteran Charley Meyer.
Washingtonians had one breed
and group success after another to
sustain their morale, particularly in
the working group. The great dane,
Ch. Nickey, was shown by Susie Bell
Waple of Alexandria to a close sec
ond to the winning boxer, Ch. Merry
Monarch, a many-times show win
ner. After piloting her homebred
bitch, Beech Tree Nancy, to best
of-breed in collies, Mrs. Mark Tayn
ton of Falls Church took third in
this group.
Fourth went to a Virginia ex
hibitor, Miss Julia Whiting, whose
recently purchased German shep
herd, Ch. Dennis of Longworth,
had topped the breed for his new
owner.
A new champion came to the
Washington area in Mrs. Earle
Harding's great Pyrenees, Le Verne
Michele Andre, which completed
his title with placement as winners
dog.
Breed judging got many ribbons
for Washington area exhibitors. In
dachshunds, W. B. Klimklewicz
showed Miss Alice M. Harper’s Ben
celia’s Cavalier to winners dog; Mrs.
Louis A. Cornet had winners bitch
with Helga v. Tenroc, and Dr. Cor
net topped all with his Ch. Rotcod
v. Tenroc as best of breed.
Herbert K. Purchase of Washing
ton had best Basset hound with
Hartshead First Knight and Dr.
Charles H. Peterson of Hollins, Va„
best Welsh corgi with Swansea
Bychan. The Heckelbimie Kennels
of Bradywine, Md., had a clean
sweep in Bedlington terriers, their
winners dog, Skirl of Hecklebimie,
leading their bitch, Canis Praecocia,
for best of breed. Dr. Merritt N.
Pope of Berwyn had several Border
terrier winners, including the best
of breed, the recently imported
Druridge Imp of Philabeg.
In the large Cairn terrier entry
Washington names led all others,
with Leslie G. Arries’ Peter of
Macwae winners dog, Mary E. Gar
land’s Cita of Macwae winners bitch
and Mrs. Jere E. Mackle’s ch. Daisie
of Macwae best of breed.
In toy breeds, also, local exhibitors
made many nice wins. A recently
imported Maltese terrier owned and
shown by Mrs. Virginia Leitch of
Riverdale, Md.. came from the
classes to beat her well-known im
ported champion for best of breed. ,
He was Show Man of Suirside, and
his kennelmate, Invicta Silver Fret,
won the bitch points. Helen E.
SamueJ of Falls Church took her
homebred champion Pekingese, ch.
Tippy Tim's Kim, through to the
top of a good entry.
John Anderson, president of the
National Capital Kennel Club, had
his eh*,- Dai Fu King of Glenmont
take best of breed and a group
placement.
