SPORTS." 33 Many Changes in Leading Group of Woman Duckpinners in The Star Tournament FLSIE FISCHER HITS SO0 FOR TOP PLACE Rena Levy Shoots 131 for High Game Among Fair Contestants. E Strike were recorded last night as threescore fair bowiers sought to take the lead in the cham- pionship race. The largest crowd to witness tourney mutches to date was on hand to see Elsie Pischer assum=~ a com- manding lead for top honors. She fin- ished with a 334 string. By shooting 131, the highest game vet | turned in by a woman contestant, in her final effort, Rena Levy amassed 223 after a start of 89 and just tooped | Florence Rembold, who collected 322 by consistent shoot Helen Clair Sullivan, another of ‘he Washington Ladies and Federal League representatives, surprised with a 316 set to press into fourth position. Helena Kohler's 312 set of the previous nigh* | was enough to hold fifth place | IGHT of the 12 high scores set by women in The Evening Star duckpin tournament at Lucky Stars Find Going Heavy. | Lorraine Gulli, recent winner of the | Meyer Davis iadies’ sweepstakes and | general favorite to repeat in The Star tournament, could gather but 311, which is sixth high to date. Marjorie Bradt, another of the strong favorites, holds seventh place, witl, a 308 total and Bronson Quaites came through with & 119 game to bag eighth place for the present. Mary Gerant's 304 set remained good enough to clinch ninth place. Malvina Jubb, of the University Park team of the Prince Georges County Women's Association, registered a 128 game in her second effort after an 82 to start and finished with 303, to tle with Vir- ginia Yarnell and Mildred Magee for | for all time. . He reiterated that statement | weeks afterward, but subsequently allowed as how he might be tempted back for one more shot at |fame and fortune. And since the permanent (and it is permanent} retirement of his two-time con- queror Dempsey's name has been used in connection with impend- ing fistic operations with such freedom as to warrant the belief that his tacit consent to the pro- cedure was not withheld. As stated above we believe Dempsey hasn't been able to make up his mind on the subject, but there-tome perti- nent_considerations that may or may not have a bearing on his middle-of- the-fence attitude. It is noteworthy, for instance, that the line “By Jack Dempsey” is appear- ing over a series of syndicated articles appearing in newspapers throughont the length and breadth of the land. Would these stories have as much value if their author were definitely removed from the fight plcture? Also, following the failure of his attempt to elevate the spoken drama, Jack divulged that he is figuring on lending his classicaily remade pro- file to another celluloid venture. Again the question: Would Dempsey, through as a ringman, have as great a box office appeal in a reel romance as Dempsey, in active training intent | ON THE SIDE LINES ‘f With the Sports Editor By DENMAN THOMPSON i | ‘ ILLIAM HARRISON DEMPSEY has the fight fans puzzled. | Is the old Manassa Mauler through? | Will he attempt another come-back? | Usually in a case like this only the subject knows the | | answer—and the reason wonderment is permitted to continue—but in | | this instance it is our firm conviction that Jack himself doesn’t know | what he wants to do, not for two days in succession, any how. ‘When Dempsey met his second failure at the hands—and head— of James Joseph Tunney in that Chicago affair made memorable by | the “long count” he announced unequivocally that he was through must be sz2id in addition to the fore- poing that he probably has a greater and more genuine love for the bruis- ing racket of the battler than any | heavyweight since the day of John L. Su'livan. 1f he attempts a come-back we believe the urge to get in there and indulge in the joyous, to him, sport of trading punches will prove as much of an in- fluencing factor as added riches, th> chance again to bask in the flood light of popular acclaim or a sense of indebt- edness to those who helped him get it when he didn't have it. And if he does come back there is no doubting he will be accorded the most enthusiastic welcome ever bestowed on a twice-defeated champion. There is only one Dempsey. MIKE HALL TO BE SENT TO ENGLAND FOR RACES NEW YORK, January 4 (#).—Mike | Hall, 5-year-old gelding, owned by Robert M. Eastman of Chicago, will join Reigh Count and Billy Barton in their quest for turf honors abroad. Mike Hall is to be named for a num- ber of English turf fixtures, including the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, to be decided at Newmarket in October. Mike Hall, a 5-year-old son of Hour- less and Clonakilty, earned nearly $100,000 while racing under the colors of Hal Price Headley. He was bred who recently STARS ARE LISTED T0 BOWL TONIGHT ‘Sharpshooters From Many Men’s Leagues Wiil Be on Tourney Drives. drives at Lucky Strike tonight 2s The Evening Star first an- nual individual duckpin cham- pionship tournament nears a close From District, National Capital, George- town Recreation.

But 15 women are scheduled to take the drives, but the group includes s-m- clever performers.

The veteran gave tha youngsters some idea as to how good he was in his prime when he topped off the evening's program with & 159 game. But one other contestant was able to gain & place among the leaders last night. Louis Pantos of the National Capital League got 580 even to go into a deaduck with L. N. Hevener for twentieth position. As the close of the tournament ap- proaches, bowling ians in general are satisfied that the 654 set hung up by ELSIE Fl SCHER Mrs Fischer had a 334 set to take the lead in the prize list, while Miss iLevy with a 131 game, high for the tourney, gained second place.

Jack’s old friend, George L. Rickard, is going ahead with plans for another of his elimination tourneys even as he is recuperating from the annoying process of having his ap- pendix hurriedly yanked. Sharkey and Stribling are supposed to set the ball rolling at Miami Beach late next month, with the winner meet- ing the next best man, if any, and the winner of that—correct you are—getting a crack at the greatest drawing card the fight game ever knew, next August or | September. Question number—iwe've lost count —now is whether these projected eliminaticns would have as much flavor and appeal if the picturesque figure of William Harrison Dempsey ner, already is in England, as is Billy Barton, the great steeplechaser.
