Griffith countered with an ultimatum to tne city fathers that unless his contract was lived up to, he would place his team elsewhere during the pre-scason workouts. Cone in turn cited the national agree- ment which guarantees a club control of its territory and said if the rights were waived by the management they expected to be reimbursed.

WILL SEEK PRIZES Towns of Nearby Maryland | and Virginia Will Have Many on Drives. ASHINGTON’S neighbors dike their bowling. They also| think highly of the individ- ual championship duckpin tournament planned by The Evening Star for the Christmas-New | Year holiday. What's more, our bowl- | ing neighbors have confidence enough | in their ability on the drives to declare | themselves ready to battle with Wash- ingtonians for the rich lot of prizes that will be at stake. | A canvass of bowling alleys of nearby Maryland and Virginia made yesterday | by a representative of The Star re-| vealed that many who patronize these drives regularly will vie with duck- pinners of the National Capital in the big tournament to be held on the Lucky Strike alleys December 26-29 and January 2-5. Out in Maryland, establishments at flethesda, Kensington, Mount Rainier, Hyattsville and College visited. The nearly completed bowling plant at Silver Spring also came in for its share of attention. Across the Po- tomac in Virginia The Star's repre sentative went to the alleys in Claren- don, Rosslyn and Alexandria. At all places he was assured that the bowlers | will turn out in force for the holiday tourney. Can Sock the Maples. And there are many of these neigh- boring town bowlers who will take a deal of beating, too. We folks here in Washington don't hear so much of the good shooting done by our neigh- bors, kut they are turning in good scores on their drives nevertheless. They're enthusiastic bowlers, too. They crowd their home alleys every . week night in league as well as independent competition, and quite often some of them invade local establishments and surprise the crowd here with excep- tional counting. Although the tournament conducted annually each Spring by the Washing- ton City Duckpin Association brings into competition with Washington roll- ers a few out-of-town duckpin sharps Park were | it never has attracted particularly the rank and file of the game's devotees. That's just what The Star’s tournament is to do, though. The competition, which will call for men to roll five games and women to roll three, with totald pinfall to count, {and which requires no entry fee other than payment for the games—s$1 for men and 60 cents for women—appesls to the duckpinners of the neighboring towns as much as it does to Washing- tonians. Nothing like The Star tourney has been planned before in the National Capital. All to Win, Nothing to Lose. The way the bowlers view it, they have everything to win and nothing to lose. In other words, they are con- tributing nothing to the prize fund. That's unprecedented in District bowl- ing in any widespread competition. And the prizes, all of real value and utility, are exceptionally attractive. Several hundred duckpinners, men and women, already have filed entries for the tourney and as the lists do not close until December 22 a District record for contestants in a bowling event is expected to be set. Entry blanks now may be procured at all bowling estab- lishments about the city and in nearby Maryland and Virginia. Entries may be filed with the managemen: of the Lucky Strike alleys or with the bowling aditor, The Evening Star. The eén- trance fee must accompany the entry. It's bound to be the greatest bowling event ever staged here, and every par- ticipant will be proud to have been in such a history-making event of the duckpin pastime. Get your entry in early, for the matter of scheduling will mean much work for the committee in charge. You can help yourself to a great extent by helping the schedule committee. Let’s go!

It is the opinion of medical authority that throat troubles so prevalent amongst smokers are due to the burning, drying effect of hot tobacco smoke upon the tendertissues of the throat. Cigars cannot be the cause of these troubles—for, to quote a promi- nent New York throat specialist: “Cigar smoke is cool, since the tobacco burns slowly and is cooled and filtered as it is drawn through the body of the cigar, and no quick-burning substance is used for wrappez”.
