PURDUE BORROWS GYM TO PLAY BIG CONTESTS LAFAYETTE, Ind, December 18 (#). —Because of the limited seating capacity in its own gymnasium, Purdue has ar- ranged to play its home basket ball games against Chicago, Wisconsin and Indiana in the Jefferson High School gsggsxulum, which can accommodate Several thousand were turned from Purdue's gymnasium last season when the Boilermakers tied with Indiana for the Big Ten champlonship. GRIFFS’ PUNCH INCREASED BY LANDING BY JOHN B. FOSTER. NEW YORK, December 18.—If the trade by which the Washington club took Buddy Myer of the Boston Red Sox back to the National Capital, in exchange for five players, doesn't do some good for Boston in 1929, then numbers are worthless in a base ball swap. If it doesn’t do something for Washington Clark Griffith will be sore of heart. The owner of the Nationals always has had a spasm of regret be- cause he let Myer go to Boston in 1927, In obtaining Lisenbee and Gaston, pitchers; Bigelow, outfielder, and two infielders, Reeves and Gillls, the Red Sox will have what is in one way the most promising clump of young base ball talent ever swapped by one team to_another. The reason is this: Lisenbee may come back to his 1927 form, and in time become one of the best pitchers in the American League. Gaston may have a good year in 1929. If both pitchers are right, they should win 20 games between them next season—and if each hap- pened to win 15 it would not be sur-~ prising. Reeves may layed regularly at shortstop III M be sent to third BUDDY MYER base. The season must begin before he is assigned to his task by Manager Bill Carrigan. Reeves is & ball player with a magnificent arm, and he can stop a hole in the Boston infleld—which has had more than one hole in it. The Boston team needs some fielding as well as some batting. Gillis is a young player who is more apt to go forward than = low is an outfielder who played with the Birmingham club in 1928 and help- ed it win a pennant. How about Washington's pmsg:eu with Myer back again? For one thing the batting strength of the team will be increased next year. The club’s bat- ting power was too weak last season to pull it through when it needed it. 'he most vital effect of the Boston- Washington trade is in regard to what it may do to the Yankees—not in play- ers, but in quite another manner. The Boston team has been easy prey for the Yanks for some years. Any time that the Red Sox stiffen their opposition against New York it makes the Ameri- can League race 2 tighter affair. This trade may make a net difference in more than a dozen games in 1920— and, as things go now, & dozen games are quite & few, MIKE MORAN- BOWLING RECORDS MADE BY YOUNG FRIENDS CLUB Young Friends Club bowling team established three new league records in the Hebrew Interclub ague, getting high team game of 599, high team set, 1,704, and individual set, 377, in de- captured individual honors, with 119, 139 and 119 games, to shatter the mark of J. Wasserman of Mardell Club, who previcusly led with 870. By winning these three games Young Friends Club is now tied for first posi- tion with Vista Club. Junior Young Friends Club defeated Vista Club, which caused the deadlock. ONLY FIVE MORE DAYS TO ENTER DUCKPIN LIST Only five more days remain in which to file entries for the first in- dividual championship duckpin tour- nament, to be held at Lucky Strike alleys during the holiday season, under the auspices of The Evening Star. Only those who file their entries before midnight Saturday night will be eligible. Names must be in the hands of the schedule committee Sunday. Entries may be filed at any bowl- ing ecstablishment in the city and surrounding counties of Virginia and Maryland or at the sports depart- ment of The Evening Star. GREENLEAF, LAYTON WIN IN CUE EVENT By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 18. — Ralph Greenleaf of New York, world pocket billiard champion, and Johnny Layton of Sedalia, Mo., the titian-haired king of the three-cushion artists, have turned back the first of four attacks to dis- lodge them from their thrones. Playing masterful billiards, the two champions came through their first matches in the two round robin tourna- ments at Orchestra Hall last night with victories. _ Greenleaf triumphed over Pasquale Natalie of Baltimore, 125 to 114, in 36 innings, while Layton edged out the veteran Gu# Copulos of Detroit, 50 to 48, in 47 innings of spectacular shot-making. ‘The two men who were recognized as their greatest threats came through, however, They were Frank Taberski of Schenectady, N. Y., who defeated Edwin Rudolph of Chicago, 125 to 114, in the pocket billard match, and the always spectacular Willie Hoppe of New York, who beat the former champion, Otto Reiselt, of Philadelphia, 50 to 35. Hoppe, who is after the three-cushion title, the only billiard crown he has never won, appeared to be the master of old, and those who watched the matches said he was the one Layton must_defeat if he successfully defends his championship. Yesterday’s matches were replete with good shots, even though several of the players, especially Reiselt, were both- cred by the lively cushions. Taberski appeared greatly superior to any of the contenders for the pocket billiard title while defeating Rudolph. He discarded his usual superdeliberate style of play and shot rapidly, with deadly precision. Layton appeared to be in good form, but not as good as Hoppe. Hoppe seem- ed the acme of confidence and clicked off several bunches of fours and fives. His defensive game was excellent. Today's pocket billiard matches bring together Greenleaf and Rudolph and Taberski and Natalie, while Layton meets Reiselt and Hoppe meets Copulos in the three-cushion matches. The tournament, which carries cash prizes of $28,000 for the winners, ends tomor- row night. ATHLETIC ACTIVITY PLANNED BY CASEYS An extensive athletic program, the feature of which will be the organization of a boxing team which will have the city amateur championship as its goal, will be conducted by the Knights of Columbus Athletic iation in fts gym here this Winter. Thomas (Zube) Sullivan, former Georgetown University athlete, will coach the bo: team. Organization of the association was effected at a meeting last night. James A. Sullivan was elected president; John E. Burns, vice president; Charles J. Dean, secretary, and M. J. Racioppi, treasurer. . Foot ball, base ball, basket ball, tennis, and other athletic clubs are increasing in China. MAY ADOPT GROUP Squads of Five Suggested for Scheduling in The Star Tournament. G in The Evening Star indi- vidual duckpin championship tournament to be held on the Lucky Strike drives December 26-29 and January 2-5. Instead of assigning two bowlers to a brace of alleys and sched- uling several shifts of contestants each night, a plan assigning two squads of five bowlers each to two alleys is likely to be followed. Such a plan would care for the many league teams entering the tournament in entirety, do away with the scheduling of several shifts for each night of the tournament and generally make the af- fair more pleasant for the contestant. While the contestant will need a longer time to finish his or her games, the scneduling in any event would be such that one virtually would have to give over an entire evening to the tourna- ment. So it seems the squads of five instead of individual bowling would prove the better system for the big tournament. Final decision on this matter will be made by the schedule committee on Sunday when it sorts the entries and arranges all details for the eight nights of duckpinning. This, by the way, will be quite a task, for already there are enough entries for the tourney filed to assure it will be a record-breaking bowl- ing affair in size of field. It has been brought to the attention of the tournament committee that sev- eral bowlers not actually residents of the territory declared within the scope of the tournament have filed entries. Some of these bowlers are affiliated with leagues here, but they do mnot reside within the section of tourney eligibles. Territory Is Restricted. For the benefit of all interested, the tournament is open‘only to bowlers re- siding in the District of Columbia, the counties of Montgomery, Prince Cnorfi and Charles in Maryland and in Vir- ginia the counties of Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington and the city of Alexan- dria. It appears that several who would enter the tourney do a deal of their bowling in this city, but actually reside in Baltimore or in Maryland counties other than those included in the tour- ney scope. According to the regulations of the to ment, these bowlers are npt eligible to compete in The Evening Star event. However, not more than three or four bowlers who have filed entries or an- nounced their intention of filing are fected by this ruling. While these bow] ers undoubtedly are a credit to the game, it would be manifestly unfair to the bowlers who reside in the eligible territory to be asked to compete with bowlers from outside that itory after the extent of the competition has been so widely broadcast. ROUP bowling instead of indi- vidual bowling may be in order FURMAN ELECTS SMITH. GREENVILLE, S. C., December 18 (#)—Henry H. Smith of Gaffney, 8.
