SPORTS :‘ili(:TTflfi' Fair Sex to Oppose Man Bowlers DOPE_ON RACES IN'DUCKPIN LEAGUES | J((IeHTON SECOND STARS WILL PAR - FOR NOVEL MATCH Marjorie Bradt-Marie Frere > to Roll Campbell-Logan Saturday Night. BY R. J. ATKINSO Two of Washington’s ranking woman Quckpin stars plan to demonsirate to the bowling public next Saturday that the time is at hand when the fair bowiers are to challenge the supremacy oI meon in the art of spilling maple: Marjorie Bradt and Marie Frerc will eomapose & duckpin duet which is Lo meet Howard Campbell and Arihur Yogan. King Pin stars, to demons.raic that the once wide breach b>tween the ran and woman howler is a thing of the past. These combinations will c.ash i a five-game match at Lucky Arguments have been heard p can around local bowling esiablisnmz: as to the comparative strength of man ' and woman bowlers. Bill Wood. bos: of the Meyer Davis establishments, de- cided the best and surest method to settle this argument, which has crop- pad up during the past several seasons, is on the alleys. He selected his aces, Campbell and Logan, to dcfend the mals supremacy. . Bradt and Frere will hold a sli handicap over their male riva puted on league averages loday aver, they hops to pile up encugh pins | to. win without that advanicgs. | Have Made Rapid Stride. ‘Woman bowlers have made more rapla airides in the quckpin spore wle pasi few years than men. During the pas | five years the f{air devoiees o1 the ¥ jme have taken their duckpins serious- 1y, Their rapid rise is attributed to in- Creasea acd.iacs. Iu Is generally con- ceded among bowlers tnai the men are sypreme in vowling ranks, but there are sgveral of the cracs woman bowlers wio contend that they can hold their own with any male team. _Both the Braai-rrere and Campbell- Logan combinations are represea.aul of their respective gooups. Bradt is setting. the pace for local woman bowi- | efs this year and Frere is one of her | nearest rivals. Campbeil is having one of his best campaigns, leading Uapital | City League, and Logan is ons of the big-ten s.ars. Commercials of Washington Ladizs’| League attempted to eswaoush thel equality with men’s teams last May, | but lost a 9j-pin decision to Arcade- | Sunshine piamen in a five-game match. Adherents of th: women's caus2' pro- ciaimed this a moral viciory and pre- cicted that an all-star women's aou- bles t2am could deieat the best com- bination the men could produce. Some of the skeptics who wondered where the ,bowlers were coming iiom | 1o make all of Washington’s Lowuing | cstablishments paying propositions neeu | only to step into any o: these planis atier 7 o'clock any evening to learn the | apswer. When the new Lucky Striks | and Arcadia drives were opened this | Fall, adding nearly 100 new alleys to | the city’s total, there were many who | cxpressed the opinion that not only the new but the old establishments as well | would suffer from insuuticient patronage. | Unless a bowler is affiliated with a | league team his chances of getting an ailey in any of the local plants after % o'clock at nignt are slight. With the sxception of Saturday night, practically eyery alley in the city is taken over for league matches, ana the independent bowler is ortunate who can walk into his favorite escablishment and nnd a peant drive aweaiting him. One of the local ailey owners already | is_convinced th 1 more alleys are neea- ed. He has plans for a new 20-alley plant under way and soon expects 1o make public announcement as to the location and time construction will be started. This new plant is assured within another year, and the continued growth of the small pin game here in- «icates that other mew plants will be nmeeded very soon. ! Clarence M. Charest, who probably is. best known in Washington sporc arcles 25 a tennis star, likes his auck- | pins just about as weli as he loves his ragquet. H: has been a prominent figure in several lsagues the past 1ew years, but | nls work in reciganizing the ueneral | Cuunsel League, of whicn he is presi- | cent, this year is probably his best | eontribution w the quckpin game. A | six-team circuit last year, tius league | s doubled that number, and 75 per cent of the bowlers are newcomers to | ihs game, according to F. B. Schlosser, | secrecary, treasurer and official scorer. ' John Blick’s husband-wife tourna- menc to be held at the Arcadia and Meyer Davis' ladies’ sweepstakes are anxiously awaited as the first big local | bowling events of ths season. Although entries are now being re- | eeived at the Arcadia for the husoand- | wife tournament, a definite date has| not been s2i. It is probable that this unique aftair, being introduced as an | _ annual event, will be held either the ascond or third Saturday night in De- | cember. A large trophy is (o be offered | the man and wife rolling the best total, and other attractive prizes will be of- iered runners-up. Dates for the women's sweepstak have been set. First three games wili e rolled at King Pin No. 2 on October | 24, the next three at Lucky Strike on | December 1 and the final three at King | Ping No. 1 on December 8. fall for the nine games will decide the | winner. Entry fee has been set at $3, | and entries are being received now at apy of these alleys. Add the name of Joiia Simnson, | sachor bowler of the Grace team of B. Y, P. U. Men's League, to the ‘ir.ple- Header-Strike Club roster. John has a habit of rising to the oc- casion whenever hi extra | pins, but when his team needed 27 pins | in the last box to win it appeared too much to expect. However, he went about his seemingly impossible assign- ment, courageously, with th> result that he recorded a trio of st giving b “sam a four-pin victory and at the same time gaining a place in tne bowling hall of fame.

Miller B. Stevinson, vet- eran Columbia star, is the other golfer who performed consistently and showed himself to be the equal of any other player in the amateur group Based solely on their records for the past year, here is the way we believe a ranking list of local amateur players should appear. No. 1—Harry G. Pitt of Manor and Miller B. Stevinson of Columbia. Their records are equal in so many respects that one hardly can be ranked above the other. No. 2—A. L. Houghton. late of the Manor Club, who has turned profes- sional within the last fortnight. No. 3—Page Hufty of the Congres- sional Country Club. No. 4—Frank K. Roesch of the Wash- ington Golf and Country Club. No. 5—John C. Shorey of Bannock- | burn. No. 6—Reid W. Digges of Bannock- burn. ‘The records of Stevinson and Pitt are so much alike that it would be un- fair to one to rank the other ahead. Both won major championships this year, Pitt triumphing in the Middle At- lantic Golf Association tourney in June, while Stevinson won the District cham- plonship in October. Both also won another big tournament during the campaign, battering down the opposi- tion of the rival in winning. Pitt and Stevinson fought their wa; to the final round of the Chevy Chase tourney, where Pitt turned back the challenge of the Columbia star by a comfortable margin. But they met again in the final round of the Colum- bia tournament, and this time Stevin- | son reversed the verdict, downing Pitt by a larger margin. Meanwhile, however, Pitt had worked his way through a good field to the final round of the Midatlant He did ful- | ment at Congressional. where he was | cpposed to John C. Shorey of Ban- nockburn, Stevinson had been beaten in the first round by Alex Knapp of Baltimore. Pitt won the championship by holing a lengthy putt on the nine- | taenth green. This victory and his win of the Chevy Chrse event left Pitt the outstanding amateur during most of the Summer. Six local players went to Boston to play in the nationzl amateur cham- nionship, and none cf them qualified but Pitt was closer than any of the group even though his final score was below that of A. L. Houghton, for Pitt needed a 4 on the iast hole to tie for last place. while none of the others did quite as well. The fact that he took an 8 doesn’t mean anything. for he might as well have obtained the 4 had his ball not found an impossible lie. Stovinson came back for the ama- teur champjonship with the rest of the local group, to tie with Houghton for iho District championship at Columba, winning the title in th2 play-off ninc days later. And two weeks after the District championship Stevinson again reasserted his right to top ranking by annexing the Columbia championship. This latter tourney is the one feat that might make Stevinson the favorite for first ranking, for Pitt holds no club title. He did not play in the Manor Club championship. he won the sectional championship of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association should entitle him to tie with Stevin- son for first place. We hold that neither should be ranked above the other and | that both stand out head and shoulders above the rest of the local field. Houghton started in stellar fashion | by winning the Town and Country Club |event and annexing the medal at Washington. But he was unsuccessful |in the other major tournaments, al- though he was runner-up in the Mary- land invitation tourney, and won the medal in a five-man play-off of a tic at | Columbia. Houghton was tied by Stev- |inson in the District championship and lost on the play-off. His record entitles him to undisputed possessicn of second place in his last season of amateur golf. He became = professional a few days |ago, assocfating himself with the new Harper Country Club Page Hufty and Frank K. Roesch each scored one tournament victory and both won their club champion- chips. It would be difficult to chocse between them for third place, but we | believe it should go to Hufty because he was chosn as one of the local con- testants for the amateur champion | sh’p, whereas Roesch’s application to play was rejected. Hufty won the In- | dian Spring tournament in May and itied for the medal at Columbia. Both he and Roesch were semi-finalists in th> Mid-Atlantic. Hufty won the Con- gressional championship a few days | ago, beat ng H. H. Newton in th> final round. Roesch, who has just fallen short in other years of becoming a | star, won his first big tournament vic- tory in_the Bannockburn joust late in September, winning his club champion- ship a few weeks later. Reid W. D'ges of Bannockburn has been playing golf only four years, but he has cstablished himself as a poten- tial tournament winner by his show- | ing this vear. Diggs set blistering pace [ to win the m»dal ‘n the Mid-Atlanti tournament ¢nd placed third in th championship. H But the fact that | : Pitt and Stevinson Top Capital Linksmen STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE and Country Club between Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase, paired with Arthur B. Thorn of the home club, against Monro Hunter and George Diffenbaugh of In- dian Spring is expected to attract a large gallery to watch these four pro- | focsionals in action. The match marks the last scheduled contest for Hunter-Diffenbaugh combination, which has been uniformly successful in local contests this year. The four will start at 1:30, and President Kaufman of the | club invites all golfers to watch the exhibition without payment of a gaie fee. Radical changes in two holes on two of Washington's meost pcpular golf courses are nearing completion. Dr. Thomas J. W. Brown, in charge of the greens work at Bannockburn, is nearly ready to begin the work of rounding off the new second green. in preparation for planting the green to bent. Greens Supervisor Fitts at Columbia is deep ‘n the work of finishing up the sixteentin green, and constructing a pair of new tees which will materially change the shot to this testing one-shot hole. As soon as the greens force at Bannock- | burn completes working on the new | second green they will be moved over | to the tenth hole, where a new green is | to be constructed during the Winter.

On the whole, amateur golf around | Washington was marked this year by the keenest sort of competition. It was free from the deadening effect of other vears, when the only question as a tournament started was “Can anyone |beat Voight?” or “Can anyone beat | MacKenzic?” Doubtless if Maurice J. | McCarthy had remained about Wash-| ington he would have given Pitt and Stevinson a close run for first place. | But as matters stand, McCarthy won the Washington fourney, was medalist | at Chevy Chase and failed to finish in the District amatur. {is not strictly a Washington go’fer, he ;shuuld not be ranked as a local player.

Miller says that Pitt has improved 25 per cent over the golfer of last season, and that Voigt is even a more steady performer than the man who was so uniformly successful tournaments around Washington for early three years. Miller has kept his golf school on upper Pennsylvania avenue open all Summer, and intends to keep it open during the Winter, with his assoclate, Lionel . Walker, as his aide. R. T. Harrell of the Washington Golf and Country Club is quite a movie en- thusiast. Not in the ordinary sensc however, for Harrall delights in taking movies of himself. and has a camera for that purpose. Not long ago he ask- ed Ray Morman of Washington to posc | for action pictures. “Take out your driver, Ray. tee up a ball and swing at it. But don't hit it." Morman went through with the first two parts of the injunction, while Harrell stood |in front of him operating the camera. Something slipped in Morman's swing, for he struck the hall a healthy wallop It missed Harrell and the camera, but it might have been serious There's a group of golfers at Wash- ington who have their usual Nassau side bets, but in addition always play pars and birdies, with a_small stipend on each par or birdie. Birdies usually pay double, going for $2, while pars retail at $1. The other day J. Logan Hopkins, V C. Dickey, Comdr. Pyne and E. P. Brooke played in a four-ball | match and after the game Hopkins was bemoaning the fact that he got but two pars—both on the last nine. But there was a trick in it, as Dickey 1and Brooke and Pyne found out, for Hopkins registered three birdies on the | first nine. Since birdies pay twice a | much as pars, Hopkins had the equit- | alent of eight pars, more than two of the others got. Robert W.
