€ | HIGH-AVERAGE MEN ON DRIVES TONIGHT Oid Rivalries Renewed as Second Week of Singles Contest Starts. HE Evening Star individual duck- pin tournament will open its second week run at Lucky Strike tonight with an all-star cast performing. Seldom, if ever, has such a collection of stars been scheduled to perform in a duckpin event here on a single night. Not only the stars of the game, but the men who own and manage alleys and the scribes who write about the little pin game will be seen in_action. From the Masonic and District leagues will come most of the talented male contestants. Meyer Davis and Lucky Strike teams of the Ladies’ Dis- trict League are represented in entirety as headliners on the list of fair duck- pinners. Performances of two of the stars will be watched with unusual interest to- night. Glenn Wolstenholme and Earl McPhilomy are among the many estab- lished stars scheduled to roll. Each will be making a determined effort— Glenn trying to shake off a slump of many weeks' duration and Earl attempt- ing a comeback after two years of com- parative idleness. On the same card are Jack Whalen, | Brad Mandley, Joe Mulroe, Arthur | Urban, Irvine Billheimer, Malcolm Watson, Charley Lyons and other high- ranking bowlers; as capable an array of wood-spilling talent as local fans have watched at one time in many seasons. Oldtimers to Roll. Oldtimers also are numbered among the numerous pinmen booked for action tonight. Outstanding among the vet- erans is A. C. Roderick, with near two- score years of experience on the drives, and John P. (Pop) Evans, a prominent figure in duckpin circles here for years and a consistent performer in the Ma- sonic League. Rederick heads The Evering Star team of the Commercial League, which will have seven men in line tonight. Several of the aces of the Agriculture Interbureau League, including the bowl- ing sage, John A. Ferrall, will attempt to make a more formidable showing than their league-mates did last week. Gilbert Posey, Walter F. Stork, M. J. Gorman and Rudolph De Glantz are ‘among the Aggie high-average men ex- pected to crash the prize group. All the rivalry will not be centeredabout the high scorers. There will be plenty of action on alleys 17, 18 and 19, where the alley managers, newspaper men and duckpin officials hold forth. John Blick and Al Gardner, Arcadia and Conven- tion , will be seeking to de- throne Bill Wood, Meyer Davis director and junior sweepstakes champion. Among the scribes battling for honors drt will be Roddy Thomas of the Times, Ben McAlwee of the Herald, Charles Quant, William H. Hottel, Edward J. Fuller, jr., and R. J. Atkinson, the last three of The Star. Harry W. Armiger, King Pin No. 2 manager, and Arville Ebersole, secretary of the Washington City Duckpin Association, are in a tough spot alongside Wolstenholme, ‘Whalen and Mulrce. ‘Woman Stars on Drives. Any one of the 22 fair bowlers booked to roll tonight may assume the lead in ‘women's ranks. Most of the sensational ‘woman bowlers will be seen tonight and tomorrow night. Mary Elizabeth Gerant’s high 304 set will be in danger tor t and even more so tomorrow night, when more than 60 of the out- standing woman bowlers strive for 't added starters are expected to- | Fred D. prizes. Many night. An effort will be made to of as many postponed sets as ible. Contestants who postponed rolling the first four nights of the tournament are | M to make arrangements with the schedule committee before 7:15 o‘clock on the night they wish to roll. All sets must be rolled off before the tourney closes Saturday night, and it is imperative that most of these be rolled before the final night. RICKARD, OPERATED Arlington .. Mount. Pleasai BY 0. B. KEELER. (For Associated Press.) HE first thing the old-fash- foned golf teacher told you, and probably the last thing your devastated partner in a four-ball match told you, was to keep your eye on the ball. But neither of them told you which eye. 1t is a somewhat curious and not at all well known fact that the golf- er—expert and duffer—is right-eyed or left-eyed, the same as he is right-handed or left-handed, though not always on the same side. Wal- ter Hagen and Bobby Jones, to em- ploy two notable examples, are right- handed and _extremely left-eyed. Bobby is so left-eyed that he shoots a revolver with his right hand and aims it with his left eye, closing the right eye. And he is a surprisingly good revolver shot. His main trouble in trap-shooting or in field-shooting is that he has to close his left eye, shooting from the right shoulder, to keep the commanding left eye from taking the gun away from the right eye, which he has to use in pointing. One golf writer not long ago was misled by the pronounced “cock” of Bobby's head at the start of the backswing—lining his left eye on the ball—into an absurd conclusion that Bobby watched the clubhead as it started back. Hagen has an even more pronounced “cock” or tilt of the head as he starts the back swing. Both focus the ball with the left ey It is a distinct advantage to be left-eyed, playing golf right-handed, because the natural turn of the head, in lining the left eye on the ball, is in the direction of and not against the back swing, the posture being easier and less strained. If you wish to ascertain whether you are right-eyed or left-eyed, it is easy to do. Make a hole about half an inch in diameter in a sheet of notepaper, place a golf ball ball or a silver coin on the ground about 4 feet away, hold the paper at arm’s length and look at the ball or coin with both eyes ogen. ‘Then close the left eye, without moving anything else. If you still see the object, you are right-eyed. If the object disappears, you are left-eyed, and you will find that the left is the master eye—a good thing in golf, though not at all an essential.

MIAMI, Fla., January 2.—Tex Rickard ‘was doing nicely today after an opera- He tion for appendicitis. ‘The Madison Square Gardener under- went an appendectomy in a hospital last night wi 15,000 customers were yelling their approval of his new $250,000 greyhound racing plant at its Miami Beach premiere. Attending physicians said it would be | ten days, however, before the promoter ‘would be able to see his latest project in operation. Tex did not prove as accurate in judging his physical ailments as he often has in predicting gate receipts. ‘What he thought was a slight attack of indigestion proved to be acute ap- pendicitis. The promoter was slightly il Monday afternoon. Yesterday he was a little worse. When all of the home remedies for indigestion failed, Rickard called a physician who diag- nosed immediately and recommended an_appendectomy. It was performed early last night and the promoter was declared “in good condition,” when he was wheeled from ; the operating room. Little less than twol hours was required. The greyhound track meeting is| scheduled to run for 90 days.

CHICAGO, January 2.—Opportunity will knock at Eddie Shea’s door Friday night when the West Side feather- welght meets Tony Mandell, Boston, in one of the 10-round headline bouts on Jim Mullen’s card at the Coliseum. Shea is making a determined bid for recognition as ranking challenger for Andre Routis’ title. If he defeats Mandell, Paul Prehn, chairman of the Illinois Athletic Com- | mission and president of the National | Boxing Association, will be asked to| designate Shea the leading_contender.

FOOT BALL L.OSES MONEY, BUT BASKET BALL PAYS! NEW YORK, January 2 (#).—The 1928 foot ball financial report at City | College of New York shows a deficit of mbout $1,000, but no one's worrying sbout it. Basket_ball is the major s{ort Bt ©.C. N, Y., and an; ly pays the way or all other spo ) ~ N Joey Sangor today held decisions over self no champion. Knocked out two weeks ago in a “warming-up” fight with Armando San- tiago, Joey yesterday punched and boxed his way to a clear-cut newspaper men’s decision over Tod Morgan of Seattle, that went 10 rounds. Wisconsin law, prohibiting decision fights, was all that saved Morgan’s title. A few years ago Sangor technically bantams. Sangor, one of that small company of boxers who seem to warrant cham- plonship rating yet never attain it, started slowly, but after the fourth round sailed smoothly toward the pop- ular verdict. Up to the fourth Morgan was going well enough to win, had he maintained the form throughout. A low punch in that round dropped Morgan to his knees. He refused to claim the fight on a foul, and after a short rest was able to continue, He went to his cor- ner unassisted. ‘The blow seemed to affect Morgan for from that point on his boxing and punches lacked the fire he had shown before. The champlon kept trying through- out to put Sangor away with right crosses, but Sangor repeatedly stepped |inside the Morgan leads or dodging Morgan’s blows. ‘When things began looking up for him, Sangor pressed his opportunity, keeping in close and throwing punches with both hands. The attendance of 8,500 filled the au- ditorium to capacity, and receipts were betwi ,$35000 and_$30,000. ~ Not since t! ys when Ritchie Mitchell ‘was & home-town 1101 has there been such & large gate at W CITEE ) JTHE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.--C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1929.

WOLD THE | PAPER AT ARMS LBNGTH AND LOOK AT THE BALL WITH SOTH EYES OPEN/ STRIBLING FELLED, BUT WINS BY K. 0. Scores in a Couple Minutes After Being Down for Count of Four. By the Assoclated Press. KANSAS CITY, January 2—W. L. (Young) Stribling, who gets his big chance in Florida next month againsty Jack Sharkey in a Rickard elimination contest, needed only a couple minutes last night to dispose of Jack League, Texas boxer, in the heavyweight's last bout before the Miami fight. Despite the brevity of the fight there were three knockdowns, in one of which Stribling was on the receiving end. Stribling blocked one of League’s right- handed punches, and was down for the count of four, but returned to dispose of his opponent quickly with a knock- down, followed by the knock-out. ‘The fight was said to be Stribling's 110th knock-out victory in 240 starts. His weight was announced at 188 pounds, which his father, and manager, said was the heaviest at which his son ever had fought. “Pa” Stribling said, moreover, that his son was in the pink of condition.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, January 2.—There’s no red light on the track today for the 1929 fistic limited, chugging out of the yards with Tex Rickard, the master en- gineer, at the - throttle, headed for routine stops at new champions, new records, monster gates, thrills, halting only on signal at upsets. Aboard the limited .ave most of the old favorities, the same passengers who made the. trip last year, clinging tight to the choice seats. Back in the day coaches ride the unknowns and the youngsters who might be perched right up with the engineer before the jolting passage is over. A few of the familiar faces are miss- ing as the journey gets under way. The finest seat in the heavyweight compart- ment, filled to perfection last year by the scholarly person of Gene Tunney, is vacant, probably for the entire trip, while Jack Dempsey stands aloof from the shop-worn squabblers who seek the place. No one sits in the title seats amonz the bantamweights and fly- weights and others who once sat far forward are now pushed back almost to the observation platform. One Off Train Early. ‘The major worry of the engineer is to fill that vacant heavyweight throne. ‘The tickets of Billy Stribling, clouting Georgian, and Jack Sharkey, the silent sailor man from Boston, are punched as far as Miami Beach, Fla, One of them must get off the train there after the first battle of Tex's annual elimi- natu;{’: series, scheduled now for Febru- ary 217. When that mateh is over, Tex be- lieves that he will have half the ingre- dients for a title battle to be staged some time in September in New York. The other half, he hopes, will be the former champion, Jack Dempsey, back to the familiar battleground for the second attempt to win hack_ the crown he lost to Tunney in 1926. If Dempsey fails to come back, although every indi- cation is that he will, Paulino Uzcudun, the Spaniard, may get the Fall assign- ment. Johnny Risko and Tom Heeney, headliners on the last trip, seem minor factors this year. The Cleveland baker boy has been beaten by Jimmy Maloney, now on a come-back surge, and Ernie Schaaf, another Boston youngster, while Heeney isn't sure he wants to - fight again after being slaughtered by Tunney last Fall Tommy Loughran, the light-heavy- weight king, may give up his title and win a place in the finals. There is the aged Akronite, K. O. Christner, who knocked out Knute Hansen and boxes Sharkey here January 25, to be considered. Schaaf, Con O'Kelley, Joe Sekyra and Max Schmelling, the Ger- man, are fast-stepping youngsters, but still a year or so away. * Many Feuds to Settle. ‘There will b2 many feuds, spectacular battles and possibly an entirely new championship line-up among the re- mainder of Rickard's passengers before another New Year rolls around. If Loughran withdraws from the 28 | light heavyweight shelling, the battling We Take Pleasure in eAnnouncing to our friends and customers that we have been appoint- ed distributors for ADMIRATION CIGARS 0 Your patronage on this famous brand of mild Tampa Cigars is cordially solicited.

WASHINGTON, D.C in that division will be left to Jimmy WASHINGTON BALL CLUB; & OFFICERS RE-ELECT Although an up-and-going con- cern, the Washington base ball club declared no dividend today at its annual meeting. The directors, how- ever, declared themselves pleased with the condition of the organiza- tion and proceeded to re-elect the officers who have been in charge of tlue concern for some years. 3 Those returned to office are Clark Griffith, president; William Richard- son, vice president, and Edward B. Eynon, jr., secretary. Slattery, the Buffalo challenger; Leo Lomski of Aberdeen, Wash., and pos- sibly Mickey Walker, middleweight king fast outgrowing his class for the secohd time. James J. Braddock, New Jersey youngster who snuffed the sensation spark out of Tuffy Griffiths, is another formidable contender. Walker’s weight troubles are further complicated by the presence of Ace Hudkins, Rene de Vos, George Courtney and Dave Shade, crack challengers in his division. Joe Dundee, champion among the welterweights, and Andre Routis, new king of the feathers, face the toughest schedules, If the Baltimore Italian gets past Hudkins, who ks he ean still make the 147-pound limit, Youpg Jack Thompson, who knocked Joe out in a non-title fight, and Jackie Flelds, who trimmed Thompson, will be wait- ing. Routis faces tartars in ‘Tony Canzoneri, the ex-champion; Benny Bass of Philadelphia and Honeyboy Finnegan of. Boston. Sammy Mandell,. lightweight title holder, seems most secure among the champions, with Ray Miller of Chicago his_foremost rival. Babyface Jimmy McLarnin is outgrowing the division. If Panama Al Brown, elongated negro, and Bushy Graham of Utica, N. Y., clash during the coming year the winner probably will be accepted as the bantamweight champion, a title vacated by Charley Phil Rosenbe years ago. A flyweight tournament™to pick Fidel Labarbara's successor has been arranged here between Izy Schwartz, recognized in New York State as the 112-pound champion; Frankie Genaro, the National Boxing Association title holder, and two foreign champions, Johnny Hill of England and Spider Pladner of France.
