5 §PORTS: Congressional FIVE BEST SCORES T0DECIDE RATING To Hold Medal Play Events So-as to Get as Many Cards as Possible. BY WALTER R. MeCALLUM. ’ tem of handicapping, which Dr. Bruce L. Taylor, chairman of the handicap committee, claims will work out automatically and will go, 8 long way toward rearranging the handicaps so that they will always be up to date. Congressional, like other golf clubs, ONGRESSIONAL Country Club Eiobey ‘ is in the throes of a new sys- e has had difficulty in getting its mem- | Filliu bers to turn in sufficient cards to give an equitable basis of handicapping, but with the present system, which has just been installed, it is hoped to keep the handicaps of the golfefs of the club always in line with their game. ‘The new systsm is the one in use by the Chicago District Golf Association and is almost an exact parallel »f the Calkins system. Members of Congres- sional are asked to turn in their five best scores, from which an average will | B: be struck and 80 per cent of the dif- ference between the average of the five best scores and par will be the club handicap. When a new score lower than the highest score is made, it will be substituted for the highest score, which will bring the average down. Par is based on the distances used by the United States Golf Associstion, which places holes up to 251 yards at par 3; holes from 251 yards to 450 yards par 4, and holes over 450 yards i par 5. In stroke competitions the full handicap will be allowed, and in match | & play three-fourths of the difference of the respective handicaps will be granted. For the next two or three weeks Congressional plans tp hold 18-hole medal play competitions to get as many score cards returned by the members as possible, in order to bring the handi- caps up to date under the new system. In the latest such tourney H. J. Rich- | Singer. ardson, who won the initial event, was returned the winner again. But this time the names of the winners were drawn from a hat without regard to their scores. Dr. Richardson was the lucky individual. Other winners were, E. H. Abadie, Farnk Hoover, Whit- ney Leary, Paul Sanborn, E. Elis, James F. Meegan, and Mark Lal burgh. ‘The new system sets up four separate ctlasses of players—those with handicaps of 11 and under to form Class A. Handicaps of 12 to 17, inclusive, will go in Class B, and handicaps of 18 to 24, inclusive, will go in Class C. Those above 24 up to 30 will go into Class D. A. L. Houghton, professional at the Manor Club, went down to East Poto- mac Park Wednesday, with blood in his eye, looking for a golf match. He got one—with Mel Shorey—the East Poto- mac pro—and likewise he got an artis- tic trimming. Mel closed him out for a sizable piece of change by knocking over a birdie 4 on the seventeenth hole of course B. The scores were 77 and; 9, with Shorey on the low end.

His 2980 score, achleved with games of 129, 129 and 132, was rolled with Shops No. 1 of the Agricultural Leauge, He has yet to shoot with the Meyer Davis teams of the District and National Capital Leagues, the Aggles of the Federal League and the Union Printers of the At‘nlfim Club loop, making five teams in all . Only the first team set, however, counts in the all-events. But for several bits of misfortune Lyons would have beaten 400. One apparently per- fect hit of a 3-pin break was unavail- ing and with any luck at all he would have had a couple more marks. He struck in the ninth box of the final string and then proceeded to cut three deuces in the tenth, Lyons has been bowling only three years, but is a candidate for a place in the W. C. D. A. big ten. He bowled in six leagues this season, averaging anywhere from 110 to 118-50 (54 games). Charlie believes, as did the great Johnny Vaeth, that the surest method of getting big counts is to disregard the pocket and shoot for the middle of the head pin. But on his final mark Lyons was too good. He hit the target | perfectly and plucked out Nos. 1 and 5 44 | clean gs a whistle. M. Carlisle of the Boyer's Pharmacy team from Clarendon shot his team doubles and singles sets on the same night and collected 988 sticks to take the lead in class C all-events. His W. H. Garton of the Peoples Drug tores team (Suburban League) is lead- 03 | ing for high game honors with 162, 394 | made with four spares and three strikes, He finished with a double- header that earned him $1 of prize cash. Garton's total was 362, but he | was beaten by E. Kennemore, ‘a team- mate, by 2 pins. The Druggists went to the front in class C with a score of 1,688, featured by a top game of 623. Progressive Printing Co. of the Dis- | trict League, the only Class A team to shoot thus far, totaled 1,668, which isn't likely to figure prominently for long. This team holds the all-time District Lyons’ 390 Gives Him a Flying Start ip Duckpin Tournament record for a league game with a score of 669 rolled this season. It beat the old mark by 1 pin, Several years ago the Waverlys of the National Capital League rolled 668, b But the highest score ever made for any sort of competition was the King Pin All-Stars’ 684, made in intercity play January 26, 1926, when they also hung up @ 5-game record of 3,116. H. Rothgeb, whose normal average is 106, was a star of the York Auto Sup- ply team when it went to the front Class B. Rothgeb contributed 378 pins to the team total of 1,648, Hugh McQuinn of the Agricultural League rolled 361 in Class C singles with the aid of a 150-string. He start- ed the big game with four spares and finisHed with a spare, strike, spare. ‘What the astute observer, Len Collins, terms the only balk in bowling is pecul- | far to the delivery of W. Stock of the Shops No. 1 team, Agricultural League. Stock lets the ball go after a hesitation at the end of his slide. L Collins has’been a bowling authority since the pleistocene age of the game and declares Stock’s delivery is the most unusual he ever has seen. How- ever, his teammates rate him high enough to put him at anchor. It’s usually the bowler with the fancy score who draws the gallery, but a size- able group collected around the alley of one performer to marvel over his pipe. Oblivious of attention, he puffed away on a dhudene with a bowl shaped like a Dutch wooden shoe. For consistency, Louie Freschi of the Pension Park Market team was in a class by himself when he rolled three scores of 111, two marks and had one separate. R. C. Reely is the first suburbanite to distinguish himself in the tourna- ment. Reely, a member of the Prince Georges County League, took the lead in Class A singles with 375, which in- clulied a top game of 139. F. L. Schleith rolled 355 to beat by 1 maple the existing high mark in Class D singles, held by C. H, Spence. Ray Morgan and Georgie Friend, na. tional doubles champions, were failures in the city tournament. Their 639 won’t be worth a nickel when the dough is dealt.

The Frenchman in a previous bout had knocked out Genaro, National Box- ing Association champion, in a round: outpointed Izzy Schwartz, New York State Boxing Commission nominee, for the title, and stopped Johnny Hill, European 112-pound titleholder. Pladner was leading on points in his return bout with Genaro when he struck the New Yorker low twice and was disqualified. Genaro had taken the first round, but Pladner clearly had the edge in all the others, But the “Spider” looked drawn and pale as a result of his strenuous and successful efforts to make the flyweight limit. He said before the fight that he had had enough of this continual bat- tle with Old Man Avoirdupois and would campaign hereafter as a bantamweight. no more—no less PARIS, April 19 (#).—Emile (Spider) | STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE 'OMEN golfers of the Indian | Spring Club are to open their saeson today with an 18-hole medal play event. At the same time -the Women's District Golf Association is holding a minjature tournament over the course of the Bannockburn Golf Club. Indian Spring will have its formal opening on May 4, according to an- nouncement today by Chairman McCar- ter of the golf committee. Details of the opening celebration have not yet been announced. Frank Hartig, pro at the Army, Navy and Marine Club, and his assistant, R. CIff McKimmie, have been substituted for two amateurs in the exhibition match scheduled to start at the service club at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Hartig and McKimmie will play against A. L. Houghton and Tony Sylvester, | professionals at the Manor Club and | tlxh"lammc“um Golf Club; respec- | vely. Georgetown University golfers are playing today in the last half of the 36-hole team qualifying tests. Maurice | McCarthy, the intercollegiate champion and captain of the team, is not a con- | testant, for he is automatically eligible | by reason of his position in intercolle- | giate golf. | Although the course had dried out | somewhat today from the soggy condi- | tions of yesterday, the wind which swept | the course yesterday had moderated to | some degree, and the scores today were expected to be lower than those of yes- | terday, when Robert Manning’s card of 80 led the field. Georgetown has a De- | troit complex these days, for Manning and Norbert Weisler, who finished sec- | ond over the first day’s play, both are from the city of automobiles. C | scored 40—40—80 to lead Weisler by a | stroke, with Weisler getting out in 42 and back in 39. The first quali round was played in a gale of wind. i F. J. (Chick) Beger, who was ex-| pected to be one of the men certain to | make the team, finished well down in | the list of starters yesterday with a card of 88. Dick Wilson of Southern Pines, N. C,, who was a semi-finalist in the recent North and South amateur championship, started ‘the round, al- though handicapped by a bad shoulder, and picked up his ball on the fifth hole and withdrew. Mark Flannagan, an- other member of last year's team, did | not start.- John Foley of Detroit had ! There’s hardly 85 and Norman McBride of Patermn, N. J, had 86, while Daniel Lawler of Chicago had 87, to tie with John Clancy of Hartford, Conn. Six golfers wiil constitute the Georgetown team, while three altcrnates will be chosen. George Washington University's golf team is to leave for Philadelphia to- night to meet the University of Penn- sylvania players in the Quaker City tomorrow. The George Washington team is composed of Charles W. Ccle, ir.; John C. Shorey, Charles Evans and Albert Alexander. Two_interscholastic golf matches are scheduled to be played tomorrow over local courses. Central High School is to meet Eastern at Indian Spring, although it is doubtful that Eastern will be able to put a team in the field. Busi- ness is to clash with Western at East Potomace Park.
