Pitt Keeps Cup With Two 19-Hole Wins: Marathon to Oldag; Agee Pulls Up Lame Triumph Over Strong Field at Baltimore Gains High Rank for D. C. Champ. BT W. R.

McCALLL'M. Baltimore, May For the second successive year Harry G. Pitt, longhitting star 'of the Manor Club, is the winner of the invitation tournament of the Baltimore Country Club, played over the Five Farms course, where the national amateur championship tourney will be contested next September. Twice going to the nineteenth hole on the final day and winning both his matches by obtaining par 4s on this hole, Pitt defeated Miller B. Stevinson of Columbia in the semi-final and Chris J.

Brinke of Philadelphia today in the final round to win the Maryland Cup and become the victor in the finest tourney that has ever been staged in the Middle Atlantic section In many years. At least four of the ranking golfers of the Nation started In the Baltimore Country Club affair and Pitt proved once again his right to rank with the top-flight golfers of the East. Harry Shows Courage. Two down to Brinke at the turn in the final, Pitt came back with a great burst of speed to square the contest at the thirteenth and become dormie 2 up, only to run into a streak of indifferent golf that enabled Brinke to square with a par 4 on the eighteenth hole. But the fighting spirit and determination that has won for the Manor Club star to many tournaments around Washington in recent years enabled him to come through for his second extra-hole victory of the day.

He poled out a lengthy tee shot at the extra hole against Brinke, stuck an iron second on the green and holed a 5-footer for the winning 4. after Brinke had miserably played a chip shot third and missed his bid for a 4 by a wide margin. Pitt came from behind to win in the eemi-final from Stevinson also, for the ultimate victor went into the last three holes 1 down to the fighting Columbia star. A half stymie at the sixteenth thwarted Stevinson's chance for a half, and he missed a 6-footer for a half in 3 at the seventeenth. But Stevinson, fighting back like the game golfer he Is, annexed the eighteenth and they went to the nineteenth, where Pitt was home in 2 and get a winning 4, while Stevinson found the rough from the tee and missed a 15-footer for the half.

Loses First Three Holes. Pitt lost the first three holes to Brinke. who is a former Michigan State amateur champion: halved the next two and won the long sixth with a par 5 when Brinke overshot the green in 3. The Manor star played a great shot over a group of trees to win the seventh with a par 4. but after halving the eighth he dropped the ninth to turn 2 down, getting out in 40 to 38 for Brinke.

The District title holder won the tenth, halved the eleventh and got a fine half on the twelfth by holing a down-hill seven-footer after finding a bunker with his second shot. He won the short thirteenth to square the match when Brinke was trapped from the tee. Pitt should have won the long fourteenth to take the lead, but he missed a side hill three-footer, and the hole was halved in sixes. He won the fifteenth, however, when Brinke, after a great shot from the woods, three putted the green. Harry sank a curling 25- footer for a birdie 3 at the sixteenth to 1 become dormie 2 up.

Long Putt Delays Defeat. But with both men short of the green at the iron shot seventeenth, Brinke pitched up to within 5 feet, and when Pitt missed a 10-footer for a 3, the tall Philadelphian calmly rolled in the putt to win the hole. The eighteenth was mixplaved by both. Pitt sliced to the trees guarding the right side cf the fairway. and finally reached the green in 3.

Brinke hit a perfect tee shot, pitched short of the green by 20 yards, barely reached the edge of the green in 3. and then, with courage bom of desperation, rammed in a 30-foot putt for a 4 to win the hole and square the match. The extra hole was all Pitt, for Brinke I (Was short in 2, while Pitt was on the putting surface with his second. Brinke again made a weak chip to the edge of the green, plainly showing tne condition of his nerves, and Pitt rolled in a Eve-footer to win the hole and the match. Max R.

Marston, former national champion, fell before Pitt in the second round. Roland MacKenzie, one of the Nation's outstanding stars, was beaten by Brinke. and J. Wood Platt, one of the finest golfers in the East, was licked by Stevinson. For Pitt to come out on top in such a field as that which started in the Baltimore tourney is a signal triumph.

The Manor Club star may go far in the national championship next Fall. Here arc the cards of the final match: Par 4 4 4 3 4 5 4 4 Pitt 5544 5 544 Brinke. 44345C54 Par .4 4 4 3 5 4 4 3 Pitt 4 5 536524 Brinke 5 5 5 4 6 6 4 3 Extra Brinke, conceded 5. W. N.

Pitt and Miller B. Stevinson in the Baltimore Country Club tourney at Five Farms, which ended yesterday, both these Capital stars will be in the thick of the fight for the national amateur championshlo over the same course next September if both get past the sectional qualifying test at Chevy Chase in August. Both have shown that they like the Five Farms course and both performed notable golfing feats on Friday afternoon, when Pitt whipped Max Marston by 3 and 2 and Stevinson trounced Wood Platt of Philadelphia on the eighteenth green. The Baltimore tourney was marked by the comeback of Stevinson. The Columbia veteran has not done much winning for more than a year, but in that tourney he showed he has the same stamina and fighting qualities that have put his name on every major golf trophv around Washington during the past decade.

Stevinson is a fine golfer even though he has not won a tournament for more than a year. The very fact that he beat Platt and that he carried winner of the the ninetieth hole, establishes the fact that the Columbia veteran is far from through. If both survive the sectional tests they may have something to say about the winner of the national amateur next September, for that was a fast field that gathered at Baltimore last week. Pitt's triumph marks him as one of the outstanding golfers of the East. HARRY should play in every amateur championship.

He is far too good a golfer to let his chances go, and he is not getting any younger, even though he is gaining experience with every tournament. He made a remark after whipping Marston that was characteristic. learned a lot in this match Harrv said. learned that I can hit my shots against the big boys as well as I hit them against any one. which I had never had the chance to do before.

This tournament has been a great lesson for me, and I hope I can continue to play as well as I did in And Harrv. modest as he always is, said that he hopes he will be able to qualify for the national. One thing is certain, the Manor Club nee will not be awed by the class he may meet at Five Farms next September. He is good enough to go far. and he has proven it.

if not to his own satisfaction. to the satisfaction of a lot of other folks. BUGS DOWN CARDS FOR FIFTH IN ROW Reds Slaughter Cubs, Robins Climb, Philliss Sweep Set With Braves.

Ten Tussles in Seven Days Make This Week Trying One For Slim Griff Hill Staff BY JOHN B. KELLER HEAVY duty for the Nationals' curving corps this week.

Ten games are to be played In seven days, a tough assignment for a pitching lot that has been staggering for some time. Following the wind-up of the Yankee series here today, the Johnson band will jump to Philadelphia for three games. A Memorial day doubleheader with the will be staged tomorrow, the tilts to be played morning and afternoon. After a solo match Tuesday, the Nationals will move on to Boston. Six set-tos with the Red Sox will be put on with twin bills on Thursday and Saturday.

Everything the Washington club possesses in a pitching way will be tested thoroughly by this overfull program of competition. If the curvers get away with it in good fashion, they should be ready to give a good account of themselves during the Nationals' first invasion of the West this year that is to begin next week. Should they find the going as rough as they did in the double-header business In New York not so long ago. however, the prospects of a successful tour of the West wouldn't be at all bright. SUCH Is th? condition of the Washington mound staff at present that Manager Johnson last night was unable to say who would go for his club.

He intimated that Fred Marberry might have to be pressed into service as a starter against the Yankees. Crowder is to open fire in one of the games in Philadelphia tomorrow. Take your pick for the other starter in the twin bill. Might be Burke or Brotvn or Ragland. For the Yankees this afternoon Pennock or Gomez may toll.

Both have had good rests since their last starts. And in Shibe Park tomorrow the Nationals may look for Grove or Earnshaw to be in one of the battles. Eager to end that losing stiing of six games in competition with the Nationals this season. Connie Mack very likely will throw his best Into the morning match. ABOUT the best fielding second baseman in the league these days.

That's Buddy Myer. He seems to cover more territory than any other keystone sack guardian in the circuit, and he misses few that he has a chance to get. Buddy is throwing much better than he did. too. and he has become remarkably proficient at pivoting in double plays.

Myer in the last two years has improved more than any other infielder in the American League. When first tried at second base here, Myer was a low-grade fielder. He did not have the knack of double-play pivoting. and he displayed a marked weakness on plays to his right. Buddy did not do much better after being shipped to the Red Sox.

but began to improve shortly after he returned to the Nationals. Last year Mver went through the season in fine fashion. He war, better than ever afield, and Ills throwing arm seemed to gain strength. This season his play about the middle base has been among the sensations of the circuit. Nothing in his territory looks too difficult for him to go after.

Buddy never gives up. He has been a lot of i help to the Nationals in this campaign. JOHNNY ALLEN narrowly missed being bounced by Umpire Van Graflan in the first of yesterday's games. The rookie hurler kicked on the decisions on pitches from the start, and In the reventh he protested so vigorously Van Graft an took time out to warn him that further protest would mean his finish. Allen did go out of the game a little later in the inning because of an injury to his left hand sustained in making a corking play at the plate.

With Cronin on third, Reynolds topped the ball, rolling it only a few feet in front of the counting block. Cronin set sail for home. Wnen Dickey overran the sphere it looked as though Joe would make the tally. But Allen rushed up to grab the ball and dive at the runner. Cronin was tagged just beore he reached the plate, but Allen fell heavily on his left hand as he made the play.

Meyer was a busy second-sacked In the opener of yesterday's bargain bill. Eight chances came his way, four in the first three innings, and he took care of all nicely. NEW center fielders did plenty of hitting in the first tilt. Byrd cracked a single in his only time at bat before he had to retire because of a twisted ankle then Combs reeled off three successive one-basers. There was much sacrificing by the Nationals as they copped.

Five were put down in the first game. Cronin making an especially nifty bunt when he squeezed Manush home. Between games President Clark Griffith announced the outright release of Johnny Boyle, batting practice pitcher, and the release under option to Youngstown of Walter Masters, hurler recently returned to the Nationals by Chattanooga. A spectacular catch by Reynolds kept a hit from Lazzeri in the second inning of the second engagement. Carl I ran back against the right field fence and leaped high to drag down Tony's hoist.

Ruth did not look at all good afield early in the second encounter. He let lofts by Cronin and Berg that should have been easy outs fall just back of him and he kicked flyer's single to give the hitter an extra base in the second inning. But the Babe came back in the third to make a flashy running catch of Cronins foul. GEHRIG got a cheap single In the fourth stanza of the second clash Caught by the brisk breeze that swept the ball park. Lou's pop twisted and twirled over Judge finally to drop safely back of him.

Police were stationed in front of the field boxes along the left field line after one of a number of young guests of the ball club vaulted to the playing field to grab a foul ball. The Washington club is determined to end this practice that has caused Presidrnt Harridge of the American League to make a special ground rule for Griffith Stadium. It provides that the moment fair hit ball is touched bv anv spectator invading the piay.ng field the chief umpire shall immediataely suspend play and send all runners back to the bases they last touched. Myer got a soft double in the fifth frame of the second tussle when the wind got hold of his loft to the shortfield. Lary after a lot of twisting and ducking, got under the ball, but was ro dizzy he couldn't grasp it firmlv and it got away front' the shortstop as he fell.

nOS THREATENS STRING Fred, Undefeated on Mat Here, Faces Greatest Foe in Champion. ANOTHER of favorite sons, one of whom the Capital's fandom never has tired, and who has shaded even the meteoric rise of Rudy Dusek here, will be tossed onto the Griffith Stadium mat next Thursday to oppose Jim Londos. world championship claimant. Fred Grobmier, hook-scissors specialist and holder of a long, uninterrupted string of victories here, may, hooked up with most colorful figure, eclipse even the interest and drawing power manifest last Summer when Dusek and staged their trio of huddles. For months a Londos-Orobmier match has been hanging fire, here and elsewhere.

Promoter Joe Turner finally landed it after considerable negotiating. Grobmier's pet hold, the hook scissors, is one of the most colorful grips in the game. While only a few of his opponents have been of big-league caliber here, none has been able to escape those bread-line legs once wrapped around the midsectlon. Against Londos Grobmirr is likely to meet with difficulty getting his limbs adjusted. Once he gets them, it will be another Job to hold them.

The Grobmler-Londos affair marks the outdoor seasons first big-time match at GrilT Stadium. One of the largest crowds ever to witness a WTestllng match Is expected. Jim McMillan, for two years a figure in wrestling paled only by Londos will appear in the semi-final, tackling Frank Brunowitz. This match also Is to a finish. Ol' Chief White Feather comes out of a temporary retirement, hibernation or something Thursday, too, opposing Jim Corrigan in cne of the three 30minute preliminaries.

The Chief no doubt will be welcomed lustily. Washington fandom has had none too many i chances for a good, sincere boo since the Chief left. Two other matches are in the making. For this week's show women will not be admitted free. Tickets are available at the Annapolis Hotel.

Another result of rigidity coming as a result of anxiety to achieve a balanced pivot is hooking. This is particularly true of the player who has a tendency to hook.

He is afraid of hitting to the left and making his hook disastrous and so does not turn his left side in the completion of the pivot as soon as he should. Consequently, if he has swung with the left hand well on top of the shaft, as he should, the left elbow will come away from tha body too soon, the stroke will be finished with the left palm downward and the left I hlo GOOD, £wTHIS MAKES 6 LIKE TOLLER "TURhJ FULLY i TO LEFT ON swing- through S-1A-3. wrist bending outward, and the clubhead will hit through from Inside the direction line to the outside. A hook results, or, at best, a straight ball toward the right. Get the left turn of the body started a little sooner and forget your fear of the hook.

Like Cyril Tolley, come all the way through on the pivot. Golf is a form game. Correct your pivot and you will add yardage to your shots.

Jones Advises BY BOBBY JONES. 'The only who ever held the American Amateur and Open Championshin and British Amateur and Open Championship in one HE fact that golf Is a very uncertain as well as difficult game, in which form can vary so much from day to day, and even from hole to hole, makes! it advisable to adopt a most conservative attitude toward the playing of every shot. After all, the golfer who succeeds best is the one who provides for himself the greatest margin for error and resists at all times the temptation to assay a spectacular shot when a simpler one might be just as useful. In order to avoid unnecessary risks, I think it is always the best policy to play each club in a normal, straightforward way. unless the situation absolutely demands the use of extraordinary measures.

I am prompted to introduce a discussion of pitch shcts in this way because so many players seem to favor a quickstopping pitch to the exclusion of all other methods. Many of them measure the worth cf a shot chiefly by the amount of backspln applied to the ball and they have no mind for the more modest type of shot which pitches short and rolls up to the hole, yet this preference could not endure if these players were in the habit of appraising the average result obtained over a long stretch of play. Niblick Value Overlooked. FOR the purposes of this discussion let us regard a pitch shot as played only with the mashie niblick or niblick, a limitation which means that the shot may vary in length from 20 yards to 125 cr 130. Occasionally from the shorter distances, when the hole lies close to an intervening bunker, the dangerous type of pitch must be attempted.

The only possibility of getting very near the hole lies then in a severely cut shot played with a niblick with the clubface laid off. But when the length of the pitch becomes greater the necessity for this type of shot can be almost entirely obviated by a judicious interchanging of the niblick and mashie niblick. In the same way that a chip-shot which would have to be cut with a mashie can be played in a straight forward manner if a mashie niblik is used, so a pitch which would have to be cut with a mashie niblick might be played very simply and safely with a niblick. I think it is a rather common tendency to overlook the value of a niblick for use from the fairway and to regard this club as a means only of getting out of trouble. In playing a pitch shot of any distance it is important that the back swing be of ample length and that the left wrist should be very active.

I think that in the failure to follow these two suggestions lies the reason for the average inability to pitch well. Watching a number of short shots played to any green one will see many heads go up and many clubs dash into the ground behind the because the owners of these heads and the wielders of these clubs did not accomplish a smooth, rhythmic stroke. Must Be Hit on Down Stroke. A CERTAIN amount of backspin is applied to the ball whenever it is truly struck by a downward blow with a lofted club. Once the player gets this idea fixed in his mind he is on the road toward learning to control his pitches.

The one thing which the pitching stroke must have is a downward direction. It is absolutely fatal to hit the ball on the up stroke. To keep this in mind becomaMgVtn more important when wa realize that the most common tendency Is to try to lift these little! shots into the air. Whenever the difficulty to be negotiated requires only a moderate amount of backspin, the very best control is gained by hKting downward through the ball rs nearly upon a straight line to the hole as the player can manage. A shot played in this way is intended to fly perfectly straight and is designed to pitch some distance short of the hole, depending upon the length of the shot and the firmness of the green.

The type of stroke which is used when an extraordinary amount of spin must be obtained is accomplished by directing the blow' across the line of play from the outside in. with the face of the club opened a bit. This stroke produces a very steep pitch, with a slight fade from left to right. The character of the shot Itself makes it less easily controlled than the straight-forward type, and In the striking of the ball a deal more accuracy is required. In a general way only is this intended to be an exposition of the 'two kinds of pitch shots which are normally played.

Merely the suggestion that in the ordi- 1 nary stroke the blow should be directed downward through the ball directly upon a line to the hole introduces a topic about which much could be written, but details of this nature will have to be left until another time.

BY FRANK H. KING, Associated Press Writer. LONDON, May 29. Europe, rounding the curve into the home stretch of preparations for the Los Angeles Olympic Games, will send to California this Summer the finest athletic argosy ever launched from Old World shores. Five hundred young men and from 20 countries, picked stars of every sport, will carry the flags of Europe in the great march of the nations at the Tenth Olympiad.

They are being chosen with greater care and according to higher athletic standards than for the nine previous revivals of the games of classic Greece. Antwerp, Paris and Amsterdam, where Olympic games have been held since the World War, in 1920, 1924 and 1928, were easily accessible from all Europe. National delegations were large because the cost of sending teams wasn't great. But only the best will get to California. June will start the world trek to the big games.

Prom lar comers of the Continent team will arrive at the Atlantic, Mediterranean end North European ports about July 1, California two weeks later and have two weeks for final training before the opening ceremony on July 30.

SWEDEN'S team will number 50. Scandinavian Olympic enthusiasm, as usual, is at high pitch. Finland's great string of runners, Rltolo, Iso-Hollo, Lehtinen, Virtanen and many others, are preparing for their final trials. Despite Paavo Nurmi's clash with I. A.

but she still throws a mighty pretty discus for all that. 20 to 25 athletes will include one of the best water polo teams in Europe. As with Poland and Hungary, most of the smaller European nations will confine their Olympic teams to sports which they have developed to a high degree. Czechoslovakia's small group of stars will include field men and wrestlers. Ireland is fighting over a flag.

Ulster and Saorstat delegates agreed on an Olympic banner of St. Patrick's blue, but Dublin authorities insist on the Free State's tri-color for international athlete purposes. The row now is in thp hands of Olympic authorities. Meanwhile big Pat is training to beat his winning hammer hurl of 168 feet 7Inches at Amsterdam. Spain won't be represented at Los Angeles, having been so busy with a revolution and problems of a new republic that the tenth Olympiad was forgotten.

Nor will Turkey. Jugoslavia or Soviet Russia be there. Several Balkan states may not answer rcll call, but all to have at least a handful of delegates.
