the turning point in its history. We predicted then that unless the National Association received some financial assistance it could not live.

That challenge was met by the delegates at Moline. It was the largest convention ever held and its work, we believe, covered more ground. It will go down in history as a pace-setting conven­tion that fought, yes, but one that finally agreed and then said to all horseshoe pitchers here is a plan: Roll up your sleeves and help us put it over!

A new membership plan was adopted. What will horseshoe leaders in the various states do about it? They don’t need to lag back because of charter fees now—those are eliminated. Now we shall see who the really interested persons are— and to those organisations and individuals that work hard will go the right to represent the Na­tional Association.

Allen Retains Title — New Lady Champion CrownedThe “ Battle of Moline” has been

fought and Ted Allen, Alhambra, Calif., is still the king of horse­shoe pitching, with Mrs. Esther James, Hastings, Mich., as the new champion in the women’s division. The tournament was held in the Ill­inois city August 27 to September 3.

In practically every respect it was the best world’s championship tourn­ament ever held. It was faster than any ever held before and only rainy weather prevented it from being a decided success in a financial way. All honor goes to those hard-work­ing Moline club officials and mem­bers, to the city of Moline and to all who had anything to do with putting on the tournament, which will go down in horseshoe history not only as a great pitching classic but also will be known as the turn­ing point in a new era in horseshoe pitching.

Old heads in the game were as­tonished at the qualifying scores which gave the first indication of the lightning speed that has devel­oped in the game. From the first few hours of qualifying day could be heard the constant comment, “ This one will break all records,” and “ This is going to be the hottest of ’em all.” All of which brought big, broad smiles of satisfaction to the faces of Andy Peterson, Dave Swanson and William Scott, Moline club officials, and to the face of Tournament Manager L. E. Tanner and other officers of the National Horseshoe Pitchers association. Rain did cut down the percentages but at that records were smashed.

Wisconsin played a big part in keeping the old-timers in the meet on the anxious seat; first, Casey Jones, Waukesha’s youthful flash, winning 11 straight rounds without a loss, once stood out as a possi­ble “ dark horse” on the way to vic­tory, only to be defeated in the 12th game by Harvey Elmerson, of Mil­waukee, who finished second in the tournament. Elmerson furnished the tournament crowds with a thrill in the closing game of the tournament when he pushed Allen into his best pitching tactics to hold the cham­pionship crown. Elmerson is a great pitcher and is yet to be reckoned with in future tournaments. The same might be said of Guy Zimmer­

man who nosed out Charles C. Davis for third place.

Allen has the faculty of giving his opponents a good lead and then turning on the ringer faucet for the closing minutes of a game, wading through to victory. He is a hard man to beat and only two pitchers were able to take his measure in the entire tournament — the veteran Frank Jackson and the newcomer, Charles Jones, defeating him.

World Records ShatteredAllen broke two world’s records in

winning the tournament, setting up a new average ringer percentage for his 23 games of 75.5 per cent as against his former record made in Chicago in the 1933 meet of 73.5 per cent. The Californian piled up 13 consecutive double ringers in his struggle to keep Elmerson from de­feating him in the final match of the tournament, thus setting another, new world’s record for consecutive doubles in a men’s national tourna­ment play.

The record was held by C. C. Davis, Kansas City, who made 11 straight doubles at Chicago. This record was broken by Jimmy Risk, Montpelier, Ind., early in the Moline affair and later tied by L. F. Gray, of Los Angeles, each tossing 12 straight doubles, but Allen upset the tie record with his 13.

Despite this, the new lady cham­pion, Mrs. James, threw 14 consecu­tive doubles in her qualifying round on Saturday morning, leading a field of eight contestants and making a total of 266 points, which was ex­actly the number made by C. C. Davis who was the topnotcher in the qualifying rounds in the men’s di­vision. Mrs. James made the men look to their laurels by showing a ringer percentage of 86 in her 100- shoe qualifying event. Miss Caro­line Schultz, Harvey, 111., who pitched in the qualifying rounds but refused to defend her title as world champion in the main go, which she declared was due to the inclement weather and muddy courts, qualified in second place with 256 points and 82 per cent ringers.

Mrs. James was a contender in the 1933 meet at Chicago, bul evi­dently has put in some practice to good advantage since that time as she appeared to be the possible win­

ner of the women’s tournament from the very start when she made such a remarkable performance in the qualifying contest. Like Ted Allen she battles away with little regard to what her opponent is doing, ex­cept to make sure that she tops enough ringers and makes enough points to win. And it takes steady nerves and stamina to win a world’s championship event — don’t forget that!

Mrs. Johnson SecondMrs. Charles Johnson, of Milwau­

kee, took home the second prize money in the women’s meet, as did her fellowtownsman in the men’s event.

The women’s tournament attracted much attention and they put on a splendid exhibition that compared most favorably in quality with the men’s meet.

Wins Dispatch MeetRobert Bales, of Kansas City, Mo.,

turned in the greatest number of wins in the Moline Daily Dispatch tournament, which was held in con • nection with the world’s champion­ship tournament.

After the first championship flight of 24 had been culled from the qualifying rounds, a second list of 24 was made up and these tossers pitched at night for the Dispatch prize money.

Keen interest marked this tourna­ment in spite of the fact that rain hampered the meet and a number forfeited their games and in spite of the fact that those who stayed in the meet decided to pitch it out on Monday night in a drizzling rain, the hour being near midnight when An­nouncer Jack Claves gave out the word that Bales was the winner. It was agreed by all that a second flight or “ consolation tournament” added much to the success of the Moline events and it is hoped that such a tournament can be staged each year to take care of pitchers who don’t make the first 24.

There were some in the Dispatch meet that looked plenty good and their scores showed that had the fates been kinder to them in the qualifying rounds they might have fit well in the first 24.

A kindly feeling for the Moline Dispatch exists among all horseshoe

I want to express my appreciation to horseshoe pitchers everywhere for their fine > co-operation with the Na­tional Association and particularly do I want to thank those who were at Moline and who elected me pres- iden of the National Horseshoe Pitch­ers Association.

We officers are only men. We will do our level best to bring the game to the high level it deserves and with the help of all pitchers and fans we shall accomplish something.

There is room for both classes of pitchers in this game — the good pitchers and the poorer pitchers. We are very proud of our high class, championship pitchers and shall strive to continue to offer prizes that will attract them, but we also recognize the obligation we owe the pitcher who doesn’t make quite so many ringers . The success of the Dispatch tournament at Moline am­ply illustrates the need for a sec­ond division or secondary flight.

I appeal to all states to compete in the new drive for membership un­der the new plan adopted at Moline.

I went into office without promis­ing favors and I expect to go out the same way. All my endeavors will be for the good of the National association and its members as a whole.

They say there are three million horseshoe pitchers. If we get one- third of that number to join the Na-

objected to the method used at Mo­line. Moved by Rev. E. V. Stevens and seconded by Leo Lattore that matter be referred to the rules com­mittee. Carried.

The matter of membership dues, an expansion of the association, etc., was thoroughly discussed.

Meeting adjourned to meet Friday morning.

Friday Morning SessionConvention session called to order

Friday morning, August 30, 1935, by Vice President L. E. Tanner.

A further discussion of plans for financing the National Association was held. A 25 cent membership fee was suggested.

After a long discussion the matter was referred to the Constitution and Rules Committee.

The election of officers resulted as follows:

L. E. Tanner, Anchor, 111, presi­dent; P. V. Harris, Holden, Mass., first vice president; Dr. Alan Pot­tle, Dayton, second vice president; L. E. Bates, Los Angeles, third vice president, and Raymond B. Howard, London, O., secretary-treasurer. Mr. Bates was elected by a vote of 17 to 16 over H. M. Duncan, of Denver, Colo., in a spirited balloting session. The name of Jack Claves, who had been prominently mentioned for the presidency, was not presented, at Mr. Claves’ request, as he declined the nomination due to pressure of business duties.

Meeting adjourned to meet Sunday afternoon, at 3 p. m.

Sunday Afternoon SessionConvention called to order at 3 p.

m., Sunday, September 1, 1935, with President Tanner in chair.

The first order of business was a report that the manufacturers who had met with the committee named earlier in the convention, had agreed to purchase stamps from the Na­tional Association secretary to be af­fixed to all shoes sold, the money to go to the support of the association for tournament promotion and priz­es, educational work, etc.

Augmented by a representative from each state having a delegate or delegates at the convention, Jack Claves reported that his committee had made a careful study of a finan­cial plan and made the following re­port:

“Strike out Section 1 of Article IV

of the Constitution, and substitute:Section 1. Any person or group of persons may become a member or members in the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association on the payment of a 25c fee for a fiscal year from June 1 to June 1, 15 cents of this to be paid to the National Associa­tion and 10 cents to be retained by the State Association or the repre­sentative of each state elected by the state association or temporarily ap­pointed by the National Secretary, to whom will be issued the state charter and through whom will be issued all membership cards. No membership shall be issued in any state except through such a state representative of the National As­sociation. A state charter will be issued to the aforesaid representa­tive by the National Secretary at no charge to the State Association, up­on proper proof that such state as­sociation or representative will meet the requirements of the National Association and make an earnest ef­fort to secure memberships.

“ All sanctions for tournaments to be held in any state shall be issued by the state association or state representative, who shall require that national rules be followed and that each participant is a member of the National Horseshoe Pitchers Asso­ciation. A copy of the sanction shall be forwarded to the National Secre­tary for recording.

“ All interstate sanctions shall be issued through the National Secre­tary, who shall notify the state as­sociations or state representatives in each state included in such territory assigned to an interstate tourna­ment.

“ Championship certificates shall be issued through the National Secre­tary upon certification that national rules were followed, legal shoes used and that all participants in the tour­ney were members of the National Association.

(It was agreed that the “ state having the largest membership en­rolled shall have priority in the awarding of the National Tourna­ment for 1937, providing sufficient funds are raised by the National Association, under the new member­ship plan, to conduct a National Tournament without outside aid.” This clause of the report was in­cluded in that adopted but will not be printed in the official Constitu­tion since it affects only one tour­

nament.— Secretary).“ Under iVrticle II of the By-Laws

and under Section 1, add a clause to be known as ( e ) : For participating in a tournament not sanctioned by the National Association or one of its state subdivisions or using un­sanctioned shoes in a tournament, a member shall be suspended for a period of one year and the secretary of the National Association shall notify all State Associations and state representatives of said suspen­sion.”

Motion by John Hogan and sec­onded by Leo Lattore that the changes in the Constitution and By- Laws be adopted. Carried.

Mr. Claves then made the follow­ing report on changes in the Con­stitution affecting tournament play:

“Addition of words which will make Section 2 of Article VI read: Section 2. The winner of an author­ized National Tournament shall be declared the champion horseshoe pitcher of the world and shall hold said title until the next authorized tournament at which time he shall have the privilege of again contest­ing for the title on the same basis of the others, except he shall not be compelled to pitch a qualifying round to enter the championship finals.”

Moved by W. E. Santoro and sec­onded by R. H. Rizor that the change relieving the national cham­pions from qualifying be adopted. Carried.

The convention also adopted a change in the By-Laws under Sec­tion 2, Article III, changing it to read: “ No bid under $500 will be accepted” instead of $1000 in the clause referring to special matches authorized by the Executive Board to determine the championship.

The matter of methods of conduct­ing eliminations, qualifying and the method of conducting tournaments as provided in Article III was discussed but no changes were made, except the above mentioned change in Sec­tion 2.

On motion of Harvey Elmerson and seconded by John Hogan, Sec­tion 8 was added to Article VI of the constitution to read as follows:“ Section 8. The favored bidder or bidders for a National Tournament must place the total amount of the prize money on deposit in a national bank at least 30 days prior to the

“THE CREAM OF THE CROP” WHO PiTCHED AT MOLINE

The galaxy of horseshoe stars shown above includes the 24 high qualifiers in the World’s Championship Tour­nament at Moline and include some of the biggest names in the horseshoe realm. Ted Allen, the world’s champion, is shown standing in the back of the picture. On the front row, fifth from the right, is Dave Swanson, secretary of the Moline club. Next to him is R. B. Howard, editor of the Horseshoe World and secretary-treasurer of the Na­tional Association. Then comes L. E. Tanner, tournament manager and newly elected president of the National association, and Andrew Peterson, president of the Moline club, and Jack H. Claves, assistant tournament man­ager and announcer at the Moline classic. The other 24, all dressed in white regalia, were participants in the cham­pionship flight.

Two new financial plans, which promise to put the National Horse­shoe Pitchers Association on its feet and bring it to the foreground as the prominent sport that many be­lieve it is capable of becoming, were adopted at the Moline convention. They are:

1. A new membership set-up, e f­fective June 1, 1936.

2. A sales stamp idea worked out with some of the manufacturers and compulsory, effective January 1, 1936, on all shoes used in sanctioned tournaments.

Both ideas are calculated to bring in much needed revenue and already some states are starting to enroll members under the new plan for 1936, even though the new member­ship cards have not been issued yet by the National Association and membership under the plan cannot take effect until June 1. These

states will contest with each other as it has been agreed that if the plan is a success and funds are available the 1937 tournament will be award­ed to the state having the greatest membership. The 1936 tournament will be held under the present plan of getting some city or organization to underwrite it, as the new plan cannot possibly raise enough funds for prize money before 1937.

Manufacturers Line UpAt a meeting called by Secretary

R. B. Howard, to which had been in­vited all horseshoe manufacturers known at the time, a majority of the leading shoe manufacturers expressed their wililngness to help finance the National Association.

It was pointed out to them that the continuation of a National As­sociation, and its strengthening, was the only assurance they had that the game would continue to grow

and that their outlet for equipment would continue.

The manufacturers expressed in­terest in the plan and asked what would come to them as direct bene­fits which were outlined by Secre­tary Howard to include an educa­tional campaign of a general nature, increased publicity through various means, a contact with playground and park board associations, an at­tempt to extend the game into school sports requirements, etc., as well as the adoption of a rule by the Na­tional Association that no shoe not included in the sales stamp plan would be allowed in a sanctioned tournament, whether it be national, district, state, city or county. This it was pointed out, if backed by a strong educational campaign urging pitchers to buy only shoes manufac­tured under the stamp plan, and

opening date of the tournament and

so certify to the National Secretary.” Rules Changes: Only one change

was made in the rules governing

the sport.

A motion was made by Leo Lat­tore and seconded by Ted Allen that

Rule 6 be amended to require no

hook shall project more than % inch from the inside of the body of the shoe. Following a heated discussion

and a vote taken in confusion, with

consent of his second Mr. Lattore withdrew the motion.

A substitute motion presented by

John Hogan and seconded by Hans­ford Jackson carried, amending Rule

6 of the Playing Rules as follows:

“No hook shall project more than 13-16 inch from the inside of the

body of the shoe.”

A motion was made by C. C. Davis and seconded by Theodore A l­

len that the association ratify the

agreement which the special commit­

tee made with the manufacturers and

the following, effective January 1,

1936, is to be added to Rule 6 of

the Playing Rules: “Effective Jan­uary 1, 1936, no shoe shall be con­sidered official for tournament play

unless, in addition to meeting the specified weights and measurements, it is manufactured by a person or

firm who has paid to the National

Horseshoe Pitchers Association the sum of one cent for each shoe sold and has affixed a lc official stamp,

furnished by the National Associa­tion, to each shoe sold. Lists of

manufacturers co-operating in th’s plan to help finance the National

Association will be published from

time to time and pitchers are urgo

to make sure that stamps are af­fixed on each shoe purchased.”

The resolution covering this agree­

ment which the National Association

is to make with the manufacturers

reads as follows: “On and after Jan­

uary 1, 1936, it shall be the duty of

the National Secretary to sell to the lanufacturer of shoes prepaid sales

stamps, in the denomination of one

cent, official stamps to be affixed to each and every shoe sold, the money

derived from the sale of these stamps

to be used in the promotion of the game. No unsanctioned shoe shall be permitted in any tournament

sanctioned by the National Associa­

tion or any of its state divisions or state representatives. To secure a sanction for official shoes the man­

ufacturer must not only meet the required weights and measures set

forth in the official rules, but must

also agree to purchase and affix a lc official stamp, purchased from the National Association, to each and every shoe sold. A program of education shall be carried on, where­

by the pitchers will be informed who is co-operating in this method of

boosting the game and a list of those fully co-operating shall be published

from time to time in order that those

conducting tournaments may know which shoes are legal for tournament

play, as undoubtedly many shoes will be used in such tournaments which ar§ not brand new and after

the stamps have been rubbed off in

playing. Pitchers will be urged to take no risks with unofficial equip­

ment and to insist on shoes bearing the National Association stamps.”

Earl Strick, of Erie, Pa., and oth­ers, made pleas for more flights in

future tournaments in order that the poorer pitcher might be given an op­

portunity to participate. The suc­cess of a second tournament such as

the Dispatch tournament at Moline

was pointed out as proof of the

worthiness of the idea.

The convention adjourned with a vote of thanks for the Moline com­mittee .

tional, through state associations, at 15 cents each and receive in addition one cent on each shoe sold by man­

ufacturers we would have a war

chest big enough to do anything we wished, without begging. Let’s get

busv on membership NOW.

Horseshoe pitchers learned to

know and to like Lynn Callaway and

Kenneth Miller, of the Moline Dis­patch, who did a swell job of cov­

ering the tournament. Callaway had a wonderful grasp on the fundamen­

tals of the game from the start and his articles were accurate and well written.

HATS OFF TO THESE CLUB OFFICIALS

Preparing for a National Tournament and a National Convention is a most difficult task. The Moline Club did itself proud in entertaining the horseshoe pitchers of America and a great share of the credit for the suc­cess of 1935 World’s Championship meet goes to the above gentlemen who are, reading left to right, Andrew Peterson, president; William Scott, vice president, and Dave Swanson, secretary of the Moline Horseshoe Club. All horseshoe pitchers everywhere owe a great debt to these men.

NEW FINCIAL PLAN(Continued from page 6)

bearing these little stamps, would result in advantages to the manu­facturers co-operating. As a fur­ther check on this, the constitution was revised by the convention mak­ing it punishable with suspension of membership for one year for any pitcher to use unsanctioned shoes, as well as making it compulsory that he pitch only in sanctioned tournaments, the latter ruling also to carry with it a one-year suspen­sion for failure to comply.

Among those in attendance at the meeting were Otto Swanstrom, Dia­mond Calk Co., Duluth, Minn.; JohnA. Gordon, the Gordon Horseshoe Co., South Gate, Calif; Fred M. Brust, the Ohio Horseshoe Co., Co­lumbus, O.; Earl Strick, of the Erie Malleable Iron Co., Erie, Pa.; Leo Lattore and E. Levagood, of Lat- tore and Levagood, Dearborn, Mich.; C. C. Davis, Kansas City, Mo., and WT. L. Isaacs, Hamilton, O., all rep­resenting manufacturers, and Bert Duryee, Rev. E. V. Stevens and R.B. Howard, representing the National Association. President L. E. Tanner was unable to attend as he was busy at the courts where the night games were being played.

Other firms who were unable to send representatives to the meeting or who have announced their inten­tion of making shoes since the invi­tation for the meeting was sent out will be urged to join in the sales stamp plan.

charters will be issued in all of the 48 states of the Union as rapidly, after June 1, 1936, as is practical. These charters will be free of charge, instead of the usual $25.00 fee now charged. No city and county club charters will be granted, as these will, under the new plan, be issued by the state association.

In issuing these charters the State Associations will agree to meet the requirements of the National Asso­ciation and abide by its Constitution and By-Laws. In organizing subor­dinate clubs and in issuing charters the State Association will be sure to see to it that each club collects a fee, a portion of which is to be re­mitted to the National Association.

Under the plan, as adopted by the convention, no state may charge less than 25 cents membership fees to individual members and 15 cents of this must be remitted to the National Association. They can charge as

much over 25 cents as they choose, if they wish to keep more than 10 cents per capita for their state treas­ury, so long as 15 cents goes to the National.

Uniform Cards for AllIndividual membership cards will

be furnished by the National to each state. They will be uniform except for the state designation, all being signed by the National Secretary with a place for countersigning by the proper official in each state. These cards will be numbered and charged to each state when sent to the state secretary or other state official and the money collected or unused cards returned will be cred­ited to that account, according to those who are preparing to set up the National Association bookkeeping system. An accurate record of the person to whom cards are issued, with their complete address, will be required to be filed with monthly re­ports and remittances to the Na­tional Association office.

Ill states where there are no state associations or district or city or county organizations active enough to take care of organizing the state the National Secretary will, after due investigation, appoint a state representative in that state. In oth­er states where a state organization is ready to take over the reins, that organization will be asked to name its state secretary or some other of­ficial as the National Association representative in that state. This, in a way, fills the suggestions made that each state have a state vice president. And it assures active co­operation with at least one leader, and in many cases a great number of leaders, in every state, working to not only build up a strong state organization but at the same time lending support to the National.

Championship certificates will be issued by the State Association or state representative, after he is sat­isfied that the National rules were followed and that all pitchers were members of the National and that they used only sanctioned shoes. In cases of interstate championships the National Secretary will issue the sanction and the championship cer­tificate. Uniform sanction blanks and championship certificates will be offered for use of the states and all sanctions and championships shall be registered by the State Associa-

tion or state representative with the National Secretary so they may be properly recorded.

States’ Rights Upheld Under the new membership plan

each state can operate like it has in the past. Some have accepted direct individual memberships and others have had a plan of taking in clubs and leagues into membership. The National isn’t going to interfere with this, except each organization down the line, whether it is state or city club, must collect enough to be able to remit to the National, through the state organization, 15 cents for each membership card is­sued.

A further study of these two new plans may be made by reading the minutes of the National Convention in Moline. Furthermore, those who fail to understand any detail may write to the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association, 45 West Sec­ond street, London, Ohio, for any de­tail that is not explained in this article or in the minutes of the con­vention.

LARRY MAHONEY DEFEATS JOSEPH PUGLISE IN MATCH

In an exhibition match at the courts of the Madison Horseshoe club in Red Bank, N. J., on July 23, Larry Mahoney, New Jersey state champion, defeated Joseph Puglise of Paterson, former state champion, in

pitched shoes and Puglise eight. Ma­honey averaged 69.4 per cent and Puglise 60.0 per cent. For the en­tire match, Mahoney averaged 67.8 per cent ringers and Puglise 55.0 per cent.

Four hundred spectators witnessed the match which was played under lights, starting at 8:30 p. m. “Addie” Kind, of Red Bank, chairman of the Mahoney fund, was master of cere­monies. His excellent explanation of the rules of the sport and his humor­ous remarks were appreciated by the spectators, who responded very well by contributing toward the fund.

Pictured here are the tossers who qualified below the first 24, and who did a good job of putting on ringers in the Moline Daily Dispatch tournament which was won by Robert Bales of Kansas City. This picture was taken at night as the Dispatch rounds were all played off at night.

three straight games. The match was sponsored by the Madison Horse­shoe club to raise funds to send Lar­ry Mahoney to Moline, Illinois, to compete in the world’s champion­ships. It was sanctioned by the New Jersey state association.

Mahoney had his highest ringer average in the first game when he averaged 72.7 per cent ringers to de­feat Puglise 50-15. Puglise was slow in warming up and unable to really get started. The second game start­ed with both players on even terms and continued until the 25th inning with Mahoney leading at 36-32. From then on, Puglise was only able to get one point as Mahoney ran out the game with a barrage of double ring­ers, even though he averaged 50 per cent ringers himself.

The third and final game was the best and most exciting of the series. With both players bearing down all the way, three new state records were made when there were four ringers on the stake eight times; 28 double ringers were pitched; 18 dou­ble ringers were pitched by Mahoney —the highest for a player in an of­ficial game.

Puglise led in the first eight in­nings, but going into the 14th inning Mahoney had a slight lead at 16-15. From then on he always had a com­manding lead and he won 50-31. In the last six innings the players thrilled the large crowd when they both pitched six straight ringers; Mahoney pitching ten ringers for 12

Jack Claves who manages a me­morial burial park in St. Louis and who is a real horseshoe enthusiast must have felt at home in Moline. The new Moline courts are adjacent to a graveyard.

So many interesting games m the tournament brought to our mind many notes for the main tournament story but space prevents so detailed an account. Many took the Moline Dispatch, having it sent to their homes, and it gave daily, graphic de­scriptions of the game-by-game plays which cannot possibly be fully covered in a monthly publication. Ours is a job of perpetuating records and giving some of the high spots, as we see them.

The new Molme courts are beau­ties. The picture printed in the last issue of the Horseshoe World was taken before the lights were in­stalled, drinking fountain installed, and other finishing touches put on. We had hoped to print a new pic­ture in this issue, but space won’t permit.

GLANCING BACKAT THE TOURNEY

Some Notes Gleaned at the Moline Tournament and Convention.

Evan Miller was one of the “busy boys” at the tournament. He took care of the charts on which were registered the scores and percent­ages. And it’s a mighty big job!

L. E. Tanner was compelled to use a cigarette paper in making a hair­line decision in one game.

Welcome signs dotted the city of Moline. Large placards in the stores said“ Welcome National Horseshoe Pitchers Association.” And our stay in Moline revealed to us that they meant that word “welcome!”

Even though he threw 12 straight doubles, breaking what was then a world’s record, Jimmy Risk was de­feated in that game with Sac City’s best, Guy Zimmerman.

The news reel boys took a lot of shots of the tournament and these are being shown in theaters through­out the country. They were brought to Moline through a suggestion made by the National association and much publicity will result. The news reel cameramen staged a tour­nament of their own, counting shoes within seven feet of the stake.

Addington, the tall Dunkirk, N. Y. lad, pitched at great disadvantage. He was treated for bloodpoisoning in his hand and was forbidden by the physician to pitch, but he pluckily finished all his games.

Who says 13 is an unlucky num­ber? Ted Allen drew it in the tour­nament.

One of the unfortunate incidents was the misunderstanding that arose over the shoes used by Carl Hoff, of Lewisburg, Ohio, that caused him to have to pitch his qualifying round over. He had qualified among the first 24, but the tournament com­mittee ruled that he must toss his

shoes over since the shoes he was pitching were slightly outside the measurements required by the Na­tional rules. He was not in as good form and failed to get in the first flight on the second trial. W. L. Isaacs, Hamilton, Ohio, manufacturer of the shoes used by Hoff, declared he had misinterpreted the rules and immediately changed the shoes which Hoff used in the tournament. Isaacs declared that his dies had not been completed at the time and that the shoes will be placed on the market, meeting the national requirements.

In addition to building wonderful horseshoe courts, amply lighted, where the national meet was held, a new municipal swimming pool is un­der construction just across the street, in Riverside Park, from the tournament grounds. Mayor A. Hen­ry Arp’s administration is being praised for its interest in this direc­tion.

The Rock Island, 111., and Daven­port, la., newspapers gave the tour­nament daily publicity.

Many were disappointed in not seeing Blair Nunamaker, Ohio cham­pion, Fernando Isais, Mexican pitch­er, and others in the line-up at Mo­line.

Canada had three representatives at Moline, Fred Harburn, John Riley and John Simon.

Rain on Sunday and Labor Day cut down the attendance receipts for the Moline committee, but the Mo­line officials smiled and took it on the chin like men.

Many remarked about the low shoes pitched by R. H. Rizor, Mich­igan tosser, but it took a “quip” from the tongue of Charlie Davis, during a convention discussion, to bring laughter when Davis chided Rizor for “trying to cut the stakes

The low mark that would let th boys step into the championshi rounds was 242. This was the high est qualifying minimum in nations tournament history and naturally i left many a famous horseshoe nam in the second 24, who were dubbe the “night shift,” since the Dispatc tourney was played under flood lights.

As might be expected by those who know of his fine personality, Jack Claves, St. Louis, Mo., who acted as assistant tournament man­ager and announcer at the tourna­ment, again pleased the fans with his announcing. An amplifying sys­tem was used and it added much to the enjoyment of those watching the slipper slammers.

Jimmy Risk had an exhibition en­gagement in Brockton, Mass., and had little time to get there due to the slowing up of the tournament by rain. Frank Jackson left Moline for a series of engagements in Chicago and Ted Allen rolled eastward, plan­ning to stop in Erie, Pa., to take on young Addington for an exhibition match. Where the other exhibition­ists were going we did not learn.

Rev. P. V. Harris, of Holden, Mass., came to Moline a bit late, but as usual entered into the full spirit of the tournament and renewed many friendships. He and Rev. E. V. Stevens, of Marlboro, Mass., are do­ing a great deal for the game in Massachusetts, Maine and other New England states. Rev. Stevens was one of the first to arrive in Moline and took an active and helpful part in the business sessions.

Addington’s trip from his home in Dunkirk, N. Y., was paid as he won the trip in a district tournament in Erie, Pa. He was accompanied by Earl Strick, of Erie, who is one of the game’s best boosters in the Key­stone state.

off.” Friendly humor broke many a tense moment in the convention ses­sions.

1935 Ohio State Horseshoe Pitching Championship Held at ClevelandAugust 31, Sept 1 and 2. 200 shoes pitched, but only the best 100 counted in qualifying. The summary in tabula­ted form:

Other ties decided by ringer percentages.Tournament Committee: Loy D. Johnson, Chairman; C. A. Benedict, G. D. Roop, W. E. Dafler, F. J. Robinson.,

A. J. Schultz, for leagues and associations; and Henry J. Gunselman for The Buckeye State Association.

Three pairs of husbands and wives took part in the tournament: Mr. and Mrs. Guy Zimmerman, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Rust and Mr. and Mrs. Lee Rose. Zimmerman and Rust pitched in the main go and Rose was en­tered in the Dispatch flight.

Leo Lattore’s automobile attracted much attention. Leo has it all painted up with huge horseshoes on the sides and back and it is a beau­ty. The Horseshoe World camera (which did everything but get good pictures during the meet) caught a fairly good pose of Leo’s trusty Ford and we think it is worth re­

GLANCING BACKAT THE TOURNEY

Some of the boys who had ties in the tournament pooled their prize money and split it 50-50, pitching off ties for position only. Davis and Zimmerman, for instance, tied for third and fourth moneys and pooled their prizes. In the pitch off Zim­merman defeated the former world champion.

Kindly remarks were heard from friends of Alex Cumming, Minneap­olis, president of the National asso­ciation for the past two years, and D. D. Cottrell, North Cohocton, N. Y. former secretary, both of whom were “fixtures” at national meets for many years, but who could not at­tend this year’s event. B. G. Leigh­ton, Virginia, Minn., former national official, also was unable to attend.

out of the 1933 world’s fair meet, failing to qualify, but he showed the boys that he is “ still in the money” at Moline. Hansford Jackson, his son, failed to get in. Carroll Jack­son did not attend, failing to leave exhibition engagements in the East.

First figures of the tournament gave Theodore Allen a ringer aver­age of 77.5 but a careful canvass of the scoresheets and rechecking of the charts cut his percentage down to 75.5. The higher average was re­ported to the press before the error was discovered. The recheck caused changes in the percentages of several other players also. The Horseshoe World believes the figures carried in this issue to be correct and to be official.

One of the courteous oiiicials oi the meet was the official ticket sell­er and general utility man, genial P. L. Wadman, of Moline. He and Evan Miller ate most of their meals at the hamburger stand on the grounds, refusing to leave the.r posts.

Some Notes Gleaned at the Moline Tournament and Convention.

It looked good to see Frank Jackson’s smiling countenance in the meet. The old war horse was left

Comparing 1935 with 1934—In 1935 200 shoes were pitched, counting only 100 shoes; in 1934, 200 shoes were pitched, counting all.

Recapitulation 1935. 36 Entries

The Phalen club came out on top in the 1935 Commercial League play of the St. Paul Municipal Horseshoe Pitchers Association, winning 14 games with no losses. V. Miller of the Zendell Drugs had the high season average, winning 47 games and dropping only four with a ringer percentage of .530.

At the Union City lournament held recently, Bob Nester drew first prize; Carl Hoff, second, and Harris Thompson third prize. The first and last named are members of the East Dayton team, and Carl is a member of the Dayton, Ohio, Edgemont team.

Two Canadian Indians, John Riley and John Simon, entered the tourney. Fred Harburn, of Cromarty, Ontario, also was an entrant. Simon and Harburn made the Dispatch qualifi­cation. The good natured veteran, Riley, fell below the first 48.

Larry Mahoney, New Jersey ace, was accompanied to Moline by W. E. Santoro, the “man who makes things go” in New Jersey horseshoe circles. Larry who holds about all the titles he can “tote” in the East didn’t make the first 24 but pleased the crowds with his pitching in the Dis­patch meet. He is! 15 years old. He’s a mighty fine lad and is des­tined to go places.

GLANCING BACKAT THE TOURNEY

Some Notes Gleaned at the Moline Tournament and Convention.

Gilpatrick, of Quincy, Mass., who is “whooping it up” for horseshoes in the East and who was active in the convention sessions, has promised the rest of the states a race. Gaylord Peterson, secretary of the Illinois association, started in at the na­tional meet collecting dues from the Illinois boys in his campaign to lead in the membership drive under the new national membership plan which will go in effect in 1936.

A wire from Dave Chess telling of the Ohio convention brought first­hand information to the Ohioans at the national meet and others inter­ested in the Buckeye election and tournament.

Those who stayed at the LeClaire hotel, which was the headquarters hotel, were greatly pleased with the treatment received from Manager Harvey and his staff. We hope horseshoe pitchers everywhere will remember the LeClaire if they visit Moline.

shoe Pitchers Association are dili­gently searching for a place for a 1936 winter tournament, preferably in some southern state. Any sugges­tions or help will be appreciated.
