SP MANY PINNER ORTS S ENROLLED FROM INDEPENDENT LOT Leaguers Due to File for Contest During Next Few Days—Hebrew Interclub Teams to Shoot. New Stars of Drives Are to Compete. HE big rush is on. i The vast army of bowlers of Washington and vicinity today began storming alley establishments and the sports department of The Evenin the first annual Evening Star individual duckpin championship Star with entries for tournament, which opens at Lucky Strike alleys on December 26 and cqptinues through January 5. Entries for the big event mus t be in the hands of the schedule committee by midnight next Saturday. With but six days remaining in which to file their entries, hundreds of bowlers, both men and women, enrolled over the week end and many more are apt to get in line before the zero hour next New enteries received over the week end gave assurance that the total num- ber of entrants will far exceed the 1,000 mark. Many of those listed to date are independent performers. Most of the league bowlers will be entered | week in groups. Prizes on Display. At noon today all of the prizes offered by The Star to the 20 high scorers in the men'’s division and the 10 high scor- ers in women's competition went on display in the window of Woodward & Lothrop's department store at Eleventh and F streets. These attractive trophies will be shown there throughout this week. Such a heated battle for prizes in The Star tournament is expected that the tournament committee has adopted a plan for settling all ties among the lead- ers. In cases where two or more con- testants tie for prizes, those involved in the deadlock will be required to engage in a roll-off match to determine the relative positions in the final standing. With such a large field in competi- tion it is probable that many ties will occur. Members of the tournament committee will determine later this week whether a one, three or five game roll- lofl will be required to break these dead- locks. Marjorie Bradt's sensational five- game set at King Pin No. 1 Saturday gave new hope to outsiders who are to seek honors in The Evening Star tourna- ment. The unexpected is likely to hap- pen at most any time. Marie Frere was expected to be a sensation in Saturday Saturday night. carlier in the week. Marjorie had been in a bad slump for some weeks. Many attended the match expecting Marie to do some startling bowling. Instead they saw Marjorie roll the most sensational five-game sct ever recorded hy a District woman bowler. Her 608 total topped both the men’s scores. New League in Line. Hebrew Interclub League bowlers are among _the latest to enter the big tour- ney. Every team in this loop will be represented. Nat Wasserman, 901 F street southwest, and Al Morgenstein, 609 Four-and-a-Half street southwest, were the first bowlers of that league to file entries.

EIGHT STAR CUEISTS ARE SEEKING TITLES By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 17.—Eight fa-| mous shot makers prepared to match | artistry for the world three-cushion and pocket billiard championships at Or- chestra Hall today. It was the first time both titles had been on the block simultaneously under the same roof and a record purse of $28,000, plus a share of the gate re- ceipts, will go to the winners of the three-day tournaments. Four players were entered in each tournament, both of which are round robin affairs. All contestants won their right to compete by winning the four first places in the national champion- ships last Winter. Pocket billiard players entered are: Ralph Greenleaf, New York, champion; Erwin Rudolph. Chicago; Frank Ta- berski, Schenectady, N. Y.. former title- holders, and Pasquale Natalie, Balti- more one of the smartest players in the game. In today's opening matches, Rudolph was to meet Taberski and Greenleaf was to play Natalie, Secking the three-cushion champion- ship are: Johnny Layton, Sedalia, Mo., champion; Willie Hoppe, New York; Otto Reiselt, Philadelphia, and Gus Co- pulos, Detroit. Layton won the title last Spring by defeating Hoppe. Rei- selt meets Hoppe and Layton plays Co- pulos in the opening matches. Each champion will receive $2,500 in cash, a salary of $6,000 for one year, custody of the diamond medal embla-~ matic of the championship and 40 per cent of half the net gate receipts. Each runner-up gets $1,250 in cash, a salaly of $3,000 for one year and 30 per cent of Third wins $900 and fourth wins $350 in addition to a cut of the gate. Under a new rule adopted by the 92 | National Billiard Association, which is conducting the tournaments, the cham- plonships will not be subject to chal- lenge. Formerly, a champion was com- pelled to defend his title every 60 days when properly challenged or forfeit his crown. WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER.

Standing of Teams. w. 1 17 Gerneaux Hall His|[A O I Fencing, which has become one of the most popular sports among the girls of the seminaries and colleges of Wash- ington, will be a major Spring sport on the Holton Arms program this year, but has bzen cut from the schedule at George Washington, much to the dis- appointment of the co-eds. It is hoped that university officlals will reinstate | it on next year's athletic program. many of the strongest fencers in the Dis- trict were developed at George Wlsh-} ington last year, and the outstanding event of the Spring season for student sportswomen—the District of Columbia fencing champlonship—was held in the H street gymnasium. The withdrawal of the Colonials from competition this year will rob the 1929 matches of their | color. t Christine Ekengren, present District | | titleholder, will defend her crown in the | | individual championship, and will com- | pete again as a member of the Holton Arms squad in the team series, which | | will be arranged under the direction of | Major Walter Blount, who instructs | most of the local teams. | Interest in women's polo teams fis | increasing in the South as evidenced | | by reports from Fort Benning, Ga. | where a fast four has been organized among the women of the post. It was thought by the Benningites at the time of their organization this Fall that theirs was the first team of its kind in the South, but there have been squads in Warrenton, Va., and in nearby The Western Confcrence apparently has decided that one foot ball game | is about the same as any other, and the only system is to plunge in neck high and keep swimming through heavy surf all the Fall. The idea is to open at top speed in early October and keep going as long as you can stand up. It may be just as good as any other plan. If you are to be beaten you at least are beaten by a big team. Practically every team in-the conference plays at least six big games and many of them play seven. Take Ohio State's dainty menu—Iowa, Michigan, Indiana, Pittsburgh, Northwest, Navy and Illinois! 5 How many coaches would like to see that dish planted before them? Or take Wisconsin’s case—Colgate, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Iowa, Pur- due, Chicago and Minnesota. The others are just about the same. Suppose, for example, Princeton played Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Army, Navy, Harvard and Yale? This schedule would be about on a par with the conference schedules. Notre Dame, of course, keeps to her hard march—the hardest schedule, year in and year out, that any team faces. But they can’t build schedules much tougher than the Western Conference hands every one of its 10 teams. In addition to battling with one another, where a championship game may be played the first week in October, they lug in Army, Notre Dame, Princeton, Pittsburgh, Washington, Navy and several others. Brown, it might be remembered, had a much finer season than the at- G PINSETTING CHECK | INTHE STAR NEET i Spotting to Be Supervised by| Isemann—No Crowding on Tourney Drives. EORGE ISEMANN, eight-cy inder secretary of the Na- tional Duckpin Bowling Con- gress, knows his bowling likes it and insists everything con- nected with it should be just so. Espe- cially keen about the proper spotting of pins, is George. Let one little maple not be set in its rightful position, and there’s a howl from George. And he always looks 'em over. Contestants in The Evening Star in- dividual duckpin championship tourna- | ment to be held on the Lucky Strike drives December 26-29 and January 2-5 | will shoot at properly spotted pins, for George is to be on the job during the competition. He has volunteered to see that this particular part of the affair is handled in first-class style, and when George says he will do the work, it will be done. Most pinboys in the local establish- ments are rather careful about the spotting of the little maples, but every once in a while a bowler will run across a careless pin setter. And that means trouble aplenty for the bowler. He doesn't get the full benefit of a well- delivered ball if the pins are not prop- erly placed. And occasionally a good pinboy, hurried by the bowler, will err in spotting the pins Such a slip also works against the bowler. Now George aims to protect the bowler in this respect in The Star tournament. Before the event gets under way the National. Duckpin Bowling Congress secretary will mass the pinboys and in- form them of the absolute necessity of doing their work in the right manner during the tourney. Then with the com- petition started he will supervise the work of the boys at the far end of ' Bowlers Rushing Eniries for The Star Duckpin Tourney That Opens Next Week SIX MORE DAYS REMAIN Bowlers wishing fo enter The Evening Star individual champion duckpin tournament to be held at Lucky Strike alleys December 26-29 and January 2-5, have six more dags in which to file their entries. The deadline is midnight Saturday night. There will be no extension of time for filing entries. Only those in the hands_of the schedule committee next Sunday will be scheduled. 135-POUND GRIDIRON TITLE IS IN DISPUTE Capital City League's 135-pound grid championship is in dispute. Northerns claim yesterday's tilt with Palace A. C. ended in a scoreless tie. Palace leaders contend that Tonker kicked a fleld goal in the closing min- utes of play, giving them a 3-to-0 de- cision and an opportunity to meet Northerns for the championship. Referee Mitchell ruled Tonker’s kick a field goal, but Umpire Stevens and Joe Mitchell, fleld judge, claimed the ball fell short of the upright. These three officials and the manageres of the two teams are to meet this week to make a decision. A victory will give Palace A. C. an- other crack at the title. Should North- erns be upheld the title will go to the latter team. Mardfeldt’s and Marines brought their respective seasons to a close with a scoreless battle. Wood, Phelps, Ridge- ly.and C. Hughes starred for their re- spective elevens. CONCORD BOOTERS DOWN Rosedale’s lead in Washington Soccer Tengue was reduced yesterday when that team was beaten, 1 to 0, by Con- cord.

Although the Hawks led at half time, 6 to 0, the visitors got their offense under way and evened the court soon after the second half got under way. Wilton's charges revived quickly and again took the lead to hold it. Abbotticcio was the big ground gain- er for the Hawks. Joe Lynch, former Gonzaga back, ran 80 yards in the last quarter yesterday to give Dinty Hughes' picked eleven a 12- to-6 win over Northerns at Union League Park.

This column is reliably informed that many people who formerly did not oppose the use of the purse net now are against it and openly voicing their sentiment. When any class of people—and in | this instance they are numbered by the thousands—are deprived of & source of revenue—there is bound to be | a yell, a wave of protest. This protest is more pronounced this year than ever, and the Conservation Commission of Maryland, the officials of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, the Biolog- ical Survey and all who are interested in this movement earnestly hope that the coming session of the Maryland Legislature will seal the doom of the purse nets in Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

The gasoline stations, gar- ages, stores and everyone who has anything to sell also has felt to a more or less degree the dropping off of the visiting anglers. From this city alone it is conserva- tively estimated that 5,000 fishermen visit Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries every week It costs every angler from $3 to $5 for each trip and Maryland has been receiving from $15,000 to $20,000 every week from Washington anglers alone. There is no way to even approximate the anglers from other places who visit the bay in quest of their favorite fish. It is an easy mat- ter, however, to estimate the number of anglers who will cease their visits if something is not done at the next Maryland Legislature. A notice asking the co-operation of the apglers and organizations in_this movement was sent out by this column to county papers in Maryland and Vir- ginia. This statement has been pub- lished from Cumberland, Md., down to Prince Prederick, Md., and several of the nearby county papers in Vh-gtny have also aided the cause. ‘When the bill comes up at Annapolis, it is hoped that several of our ablest lawyers who are also sportsmen will offer their services to appear before the committee having charge of the bill and present our plea, together with the five members of the commit- tee to be appointed by the Potomac Anglers’ Association, local chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America.

George was then hot for the theory that golf is played with the soles of the feet and that you started your club back, not with the straight left arm, but with the body. 1If you watch George Von Elm play his long irons you will note that this master of them does not follow Dun- can’s advice. George, as we noted yesterday, starts his club back with a straight left arm, the hips turning or pivoting but little, the shoulders quite a bit. You will also note that in making this shot his whole body is relaxed. The trick in hitting with an iron is to keep the face of the club going through on the line your ball is to carry for some little distance both before and after contact. Slow mo- tlon pictures have proven that a ball does not instantly fly from the face when contact is made. So, to avold slices or hooks you must carry the face on out after striking the ball on the line you wish the ball to carry. Von EIm does so by keeping his hips on a line and sliding them through. That enables him to get the weight of his body into the stroke through the shoulders, as the slide | ..
