BY R. D. THOMAS. duckpin league, but it remained for Milton V. Hanson, hereto- PROFESS!ONAL promoters long have dreamed of an intercity fore unknown to the bowling spotlight, to put over one. Tomorrow night at the King Pin, No. 2, teams of Odd Fel- lows representing Baltimore, Annapolis, Hyattsville, Alexandria, Fred- ericksburg and Washington will shoot the first matches of the Odd Fellows Intercity League. They were gotten together by Hanson and will meet in one of the towns listed every Saturday night until the end of the season. Han- son has reserved alleys at the King Pin, No. 2, for November 9 and 30; December 7 and 14; January 4, 11 and 18; February 8, 15 and 22; March 15, 22 and 29, and April 19. The Odd Fellows League prob- ably is a forerunner of an open circuit in which star bowlers of the Atlantic Coast will have it out. The National Duckpin Bowling Congress is working on plans for such a league, with Washington as headquarters. Promoters here now have establishments in Richmond, Norfolk, Greensboro, Charlotte and Atlanta and have expressed willingness to support it. A game called “five back,” introduced by Harry Armiger, has taken hold at the King Pin No. 2. It is played with tenpins. The trick is to_shoot between the maples, five of which are set in & yow at the end of the alley, on the No. 7, 8, 9 and 10 spots, with the No. 5 spot moved back. To score a strike the ball must pass between two of the pins with~ out upsetting one. A spare is counted when ell are knocked over with two shots. Don Dunnicon holds the record with a game of 261. Harry Mervis, captain of the Service Cafeteria team of the National Capital League, recently advertised for bowlers. About 20 answered the call. He got the following telegram: “Mr. Harry Mervis: In answer to your ad for bowlers, tle, Wash. I am on my way. TONEY.” Red Morgan is suspected. John Blick is back from a trip to Greensboro, N. C., where he has an al- ley, with a tale friends won't accept. Blick says he rolled 30 games for an average of 118 and a fracticn. The magnate had the confidence of listen- ers until he averred that Jack Whalen was a victim in 17 of the games. Blick and Father Time are becoming well acquainted, but the former ice man still is quite an athlete. He rolled the 30 games to demonstrate this fact to a couple of those newly-made Tarheel millionaries who wagered he couldn't punish an alley that long. Blick is boasting, too, about the per- formances of the girls’ team in the Dis- trict League named for him. The John Blick Girls have won nine straight games and hopped from sixth to sec- ond place. Among their victims were the King Pins, who last year won the National Duckpin Bowling Congress championship. Lucy Owen is ihe cap- tain and star pin-getter, with an aver- age around 100. Her playmates are Bess Hoffman, Mabel Kellogg, (Rawlings) Heil and Helen Whitbeck. Miss Owen is in a fair way to share in two pennant victories. She is a big help to the Washington Centennial quint, which tops the Eastern Star Leagu being the captain and high average . lur‘;’en "The other night her team hung up season records for me and set and Miss Owen establis] mirks with a 331-set and 134-game. Another Blick team, the Arcadians, is believed to have established a District League record by shooting all three games over 50C. The Veterans' Bureau has more girl bowling stars than male. It may be significant,_that the Veterans’ Bureau maids lead their section of the Federal League and their trousered fellow work- ers are in the cellar. Peggy Babcock, Tommy Clark, Lorraine Gulli, Irene Mischou and Maxine Fleming make up the girls' team. A galaxy of stars of both sexes to- night will help christen the 12 alleys added to the Silver Spring establish- ment of Faulconer & Proctor. In an all-star line-up to oppose a team picked from the North of Washington League will be Al Fisher, national singles cham- pion in 1928; Sam Benson, national all- events champion last year; Howard Campbell, national singles champi last year; Red Morgan, who shared the national doubles title last year, and Dutch Weidman, twice runner-up in the Campbell sweepstakes. Among the girl experts will be Marjorie (Bradt) Smith, last year's national all-events winner, and Pauline Ford, a star of the King Pins, who won the N. D. B. C. title at Richmond.

The present last nine holes of the regular course were put in play only last May, and for a time there was some discouragement because the tenth and eighteenth fairways did not show the growth of grass that was expected. Lack of grass came as a blow to the Beaver Dam golfers, particularly as the Summer was one of the worst on record for stringency of rain, and the ball could hardly be kept in the fairway. 9 | But a little more than a month ago all the fairways which were sparse in grass were reseeded, and today the results of that reseeding show up. The tenth and elghteenth fairways today, while not as d as those on the older first nine hm. are in good condition and if the improvement continues, Winter rules may be suspended next year. Not many golfers who do not play Beaver Dam are aware that the course of the Landover club is the longest golf layout about Washington. Congressional usually is given credit for having the longest golf course, but Congressional is only a little more than 6,600 yards long, while Beaver Dam, in normal play- ing shape, stretches out to 6,827 yards, a distance that is long enough for any man, demands straight and lengthy hit- ting from the tee and accuracy with the short pitches. This length comes from the fact that Beaver Dam has five holes which are par 4 affairs, but which call today for two full shots with wood, un- less the player hits an extremely long tee shot. Such holes as the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth—five of them in a row—are lengthy affairs. All are par 4 holes, but on each one extreme length is necessary if the player is to get home in two shots. The seventh, for example, is 445 yards in length—verging on the par 5 length— and the tenth is 449 yards long. Few members of the club, according to Wil- liam H. White, chairman of the golf committee, get home on these holes in two shots. Just now the grass tees at Beaver Dam are being prepared for a reseeding onfidence You can always save money at a TAUBMAN STORE.

But even from the front tees, which take off something like 263 yards from the course, extreme length is needed. Next season, if the seeding program works out_as expected, Beaver Dam will take rank as one of the leading golf courses about the Capital, if it already has not done so. Mrs. John N. Hodges today holds two golf crowns. Annexing the woman's title of the Middle Atlantic Golf Asso- ciation two weeks ago in an extra hole battle with Mrs. Hugh T. Nicolson, Mrs. Hodges gesurdny added the cham- pionship of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club to her collection, ddenm:: Mrs. Frank R. Keefer in a lop-sided final round by 7 and 6. Mrs. Keefer was the winner of the first flight in the tourney played last week in w! Mrs. Hodges did not play, remaining out of the tourney to meet the winner in_the challenge round. Mrs. Hodges early demonstrated her superiority in the final match yesterday, reaching the turn in 40 against 47 f Mrs. Keefer and turning 4 up. Mrs. Hodges continued her fine scoring pace on the next three holes, winning them all to annex the match by 7 and 6. The two women played out the rourd, Mrs. Hodges scoring 44 for the second nine for a total of 84, while Mrs. Keefer took 51 for the second half of the circuit for a total of 98. Mrs. Hod also entered her score in the weekly handicap event—a hine- hole affair—and won it with her score of 40, even though she played from scratch. Mrs. C. A. Broadus was sec- ond in class A with a card of 51—10—41, In class B the winner was Mrs. V. L. Peterson, who scored 58—16—42. ‘The Fall schedule of events for the Chevy Chase Club was concluded yes- terday with the playing of the final round for the Siamese cup, which was won by W. G. Brantley, jr. Brantley, who downed C. A. Fuller in the semi- final, beat D. D. L. McGrew in the final round for the historic trophy yes- terday by 5 and 3, ending the match on the fifteenth green. The winner conceded McGrew two strokes, and was 1 I:E at the ninth tee, winning the ninth hole to turn 2 up. Brantley won the eleventh and lost the twelfth, but Brantley annexed the short thirteenth with a birdie 2, and also won the four- teenth and fifteenth to win the match. Mrs. John N. Hodges won the ringer tournament, recently concluded at the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Club, with a selected score of 68. Mrs. J. T. H. O'Rear was second with 72, while Mrs, P. L. Ransom was third with 77. Mrs. Thorne Strayer had a selected score of 78, and Mrs, John W. Thomason finished fifth with 82.

R. D. Newman and Frank h Hartig, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Club pro. Rice and Diffenbaugh had not seen the course before and expressed their pleasure at the layout of the holes and the condition of the course. SHARKEY IS SOUGHT FOR CHICAGO BOUT By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 8.—Promoter Paddy Harmon of the Chicago Stadium has opened negotiations with Jack Sharkey, Boston pretender to the va- cant world heavyweight throne, for a matéh early next year.

Dempsey, veteran racing authority and writer, has taken from the turf sport one of its most interest- ing characters. Dempsey died yesterday at Dallas, Tex., where he had gone to report th~ racing revival meeting in the Lone Star State. In death he has joined Sam Hildreth and James Rowe, sr., famous American trainers; Mars Cassiday and Lester Dean, noted starters, and John E. Madden, one of the country’s lead- ing breeders of thorpughbreds, all of whom died within the past few months. The oldest turf reporter in the coun- try in point of service, Dempsey ruled all press boxes in which he worked, and devoted time and physical effort to keeping out 'every one but workers. Publishers of newspapers, iticlans and even relatives of remr&x. were ordered out by Dempsey. At the Kentucky Derby several years ago a gate crasher, carrying a portable type- writer and field glasses, attempted to enm'-’ :’hgo g;ese b(t:x Just as the field parade e post. Dempsey detex him and tossed him out bodlin g Acknowledged as the greatest of chart-makers and handicappers, Demp- sey_probably finished loser in betting.
