Intercity Duckpin Meet Here Next Year : Bucknell Quint Visits for Two Games - BOWLERS OF TEN TOWNS ARE LIKELY TO COMPETE President Stocking of W. C. D. A. Assured That Many Quints of East Would Attend Local Tourney Baltimoreans Postpone Matches. BY JOHN HAT a national duckpin tourn I. WHITE. ament on the drives of the Nation's Capital is no mere dream is the firm conviction of Earl D. Stock- ing, president of the Washington For various reasons, including the short ty Duckpin Association. time left before warm weather and the close of the Season, an intercity meeting on a large scale is impracticable this Winter, but Stocking has great hopes for next year, and has assurances that should local bowlers care to foster the idea in 1926 at least 10 cities of the Atlantic Coast States would send repre- sentatives here. When compared with the five-man team entries announced last Sunday for the international tempin iy ney to be held in Buffalo next month, squads from only 10 or a dozen cities make a small crowd in- deed. However, when it is considered that duckpin rolling has no national governing body similar to the Amer- | fcan Bowling Congress, and that | nearly every community has its fa- vorite style of maple, together of 40 or 50 teams from wide- Iy separated centers would be a worthy acconmlishment and a definite forward step in the standardization of the game. Bowlers who use the rubher-band- pins, shorter drives, smaller balls the numerous other variations that are found in different sections do not make ready converts to the plain wooden pin and the style of ball employed in the District, Balti- more and the neighboring territory, Lut the honor of participating in a national event may greatly offset the influence of local tradition and preju- dice. Then, too, Washington's pos tion as the Capital City also might sorve as a drawing card. At any rate, .a sduckpin tourney featuring bowlers from New York. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as well as from the nearer cities of Balti- more, Roanoke and Martinsburg, would certainly be an attractive prop- osition, and arl Stocking has prom- ises that, if the event can be ar- ranged, each will send one or more teams to compete with the pinspillers of Washington. = Frederick, Hagers- town, Annapelis, Hyattsville and Alexandria all have made definite in- dication of a desire to come into the fold and are willing to do their part toward boosting the proposition once the initial move is made. All these promises of support are fair indications that the starting of sectional and national duckpin com- petition would be a welcome move. Furthermore, it seems to be the one way to bring about a gradual stand- ardizing of the sport, which has been tried before with small success and can be brought about only by a slow process of evolution. But it can be done, and the possibilities of a na tional tournament next Winter are not to be overlooked. ‘The preliminaries already are un- der way. Putting the affair across will require the undivided interest and support of District bowlers and a bit of hard work on the part of some one. That some one, in all proba- bility, will be the president of the Washington = City Duckpin ~Associ- ation. the bringing ed and Baltimore King Pins have post- poned indefinitely their match with the Capital City Stars scheduled for March 7 and 14, for the same reasons that the meeting with the Curb Cafe team, set for February 14 and 21 was canceled. ~Ed Rommel's depar- ture for Connie Mack's training camp and the {llness of another star -per- former has disorganized the team somewhat and makes it likely that matches with the Baltimore five are over for the Winter. However, some- thing interesting in the way of inter- city matches may develop out of the negotiations being conducted be- tween Roanoke and Washington teams. High xcorex rolled during the pres- ent season have been the cause of the ‘Washington Duckpin Associa- tion's raising the average for class A bowlers in its annual tournament that opens on the Coliseum drives April 27. Last year season averages of 101 admitted one to the top class, but be- cause of the general improvement noted over last year's averages bowl- ers must be shooting 103 or more to make the grade. Fractions not count- ing, class B includes 98 to 102 bowl- ers and class C those under 98. OARSMAN RETIRES: By the Associated Press.

DILG, President Izaak Walton League of America. P most_discussed animal in the West. OOR coyote! This most despised animal, as he winds his lonely trail in the plains, the foothills and the mountains, adapting him- self to conditions, getting along as well as he can, is always the The coyote has it to his everlasting credit that he is the one animal whose habits are .not really known to men, and this in spite of the fact that the coyote is an animal that skirts the ranches and is more frequently encountered than almost any other wild animal. When men who have spent many years in coyote country, and have trapped and shot coyotes since they were boys, and who must study the coyote if they are to safeguard their stock or protect game, disagree over the traits of this animal, it is proof of his skill, There is wide disagreement in the ‘West over the amount of damage done by the coyote. For instance, S. N. Leek of Jackson Hole, who has been there for many years and has spent a lifetime as a rancher, declares that the coyote does more good than harm. Hs is not in sympathy with the wholesale killing of them. He says: “I never have seen a coyote kill & game animal or a domestic ani- mal. 1 have frequently seen coyotes eating on the carcass of animals that I knew died from other causes. Once I saw a dead calf elk that I think coyotes killed. On another occasion I saw where coyotes had successfully tried to catch a deer.” When asked what he meant in de- claring that the coyotes do more g00d than harm, Leek said: “I have lived on this ranch for 30 years. Three years ago the Govern- ment trappers virtually wiped out the coyotes in here. And the year the coyotes went the ground squirrels came until my ranch was overrun with them and I had to take desper- ate m@sures to eradicate them. The ground squirrels frequent all the elk ranges in these hills. Suppose there is one squirrel every square rod of ground.

PROGRESS Sizes #—1—1%—2—3—8 Tons do not eat the taller grasses, but they do eat the more valuable shorter ones. Thus a range, at a little dis- tance, may look as good as ever, but the squirrels have taken the best of it. “Coyotes live on these squirrels more than on anything else. They have always kept them down. Kill off the coyotes and you must start a much more difficult war no the ground squirrel and other rodent pests. On the other hand, take Al Austin, who lives three miles from Leek. He spends virtually all of his time in the hills, and he loves and studies animals. He is a bitter foe of the coyote. He tells of having watched coyotes attack deer. And in the Winter time Austin traps and pol- sons coyotes, obtaining nothing for his work, but doing it because of his intense desire to protect the game animals he loves. Says Austin: “You must take your choice between coyotes and game. You can’t have them both."” ITALIAN RIDER LISTED. Franco Georgetti of Italy, who finished in second place in the six- day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden last Fall with young Bobby Walthour as a teammate, will be paired with Gaetano Belloni in the March contest.

The Knights of St. Anthony game in Brooklyn and the Prudential In surance meet in Newark are sched- uled for the same night. However, Nurmi's accomplishments have stirred the track stars of this side of the Atlantic to new endeavors and a bril- llant group will manage to compete in both engagements. Willie Ritola will attempt to break the 2-mile mark, a seemingly im- possible task, at the Brooklyn race: Nurmi raced the distance Saturday nigkt in 8 minutes 581-5 seconds, faster than any other human ever had traveled. He will appear in New- ark earlfer in a 3-mile test. Jole Ray, George Marsters, Leo Larrivee, Tom Clausen, Jimmy Con- nolly and Johnny Barnes will run the “St.” Anthony 1,000,” for which dis- tance Ray holds the record of 2:132-5 jointly with Hal Cutbill, the “Flying Parson.” Jimmy Connolly, former Georgetown star, has run a 2:16 this year. Another feature of the Brooklyn contests Is the Suburban quarter, won in the past by Ted Meredith, Tom Halpin, Dave Caldwell, Walter Kop- pisch and Jake Driscoll. In this event the starters will be Vincent Lally, Walter Mulvihill, Jack Sellers and Anthony Woostroff. ‘Willle Plant, American walking champion, who has defeated the Olymple 10,000-meter winner, Ugo Frigerio, on three occasions, will seek to eliminate George Goulding’s 2-mile record of 13 minutes 38 3-5 seconds.
