Anyway, the chap who stepped from the pit to become king at the other end of the alley is said to a trifle better than that, and still score. strikes having been made strictly according to regulations. bowling wizard, whether you're incl But we have the word of,several | national authorities that she’s not | a better bowler than Washington's own Lorraine Gulli, albeit the ground is there for an intermin- able argument. They bowl differ- ent games, Mrs. McCutcheon spe- cializing in tenpins and Miss Gulli in ducks. On the face of things, it doesn't seem reasonable, but the little ball game is more difficult for the average woman to master than the other. (The tenpin ball weighs from about 13 pounds to 16; the duckpin weapon from 3 pounds 5 ounces to 3 pounds 12 ounces.) To roll & consistently effective ball in tenpins one needs only lift it sfightly past the hip and take advantage of gravity to give it momentum, and a tenpin ball, properly steered, will hit the “pocket” and sweep the alley or inyariably leave an easy spare break. 1n duckpins the ball must be thrown with considerable force if the player would rise above mediocrity. Fly-backs play ai iportant part in piling up the score. “English” on the ball helps im- measurably in scattering the pins. Both are dependent upon exertion. Harry Kauss, Washingtonian, who stills holds the world’s endurance record in tenpin bowling, with a 24-hour stretch, suffered more than 20 years 2go, says he couldn't have lasted nearly that long if he had been shooting duck- ns. b Miss Gulli is a born athlete, and in view of that it is reasonable to suppose | X she would have accomplished quite as much in tenpins as duckpins. In the latter game she has established indi- vidually or helped to make four national Tecords. In the last year or two she has been in constant demand as an exhibition performer, her fame reaching from Maine to Georgia. The “wonder girl” of duckpins from Washington has given lots of time to the game in altruistic spirit.

Some want a strictly closed league and others with oppor- tunities to use top-notch bowlers are argumentative. Earle Stocking's debut as a Beau Brummel among bowling alley pilots has been postponed for a week, due to no fault of his own. The regalia isn't ready. Augie Noack of Columbia Prnting Co. rolled 172 last night for a season's rec- ord in the Typothetae League. His big score was made possible by a quadruple strike, one of the rarest feats in duck- pins. He one-balled from the sixth frame to the ninth, inclusive. Automotive Duckpin Standing of Teams. W.

Kids, Not Dogs, Need Aid, Jack Dempsey Declares CHICAGO, November 12 (#).— Jack Dempsey still has a heart, but it's for children, not dogs. ‘The former world heavyweight champion refused today to allow his name to be connected with a charity boxing show to raise funds for the Orphans of the Storm, a home fcr friendless dogs, sponsored by Mrs, Frederic McLaughlin, the former Irene Cestle. Dempsey offered to lease the Coliseum, which he controls for box- ing, but declined to do the pro- moting. “There are too many needy kids,” was his only comment. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, November 12.—Madi- | son Square Garden again has taken a strangle hold cn the promotion of _ heavyweight fights with a $75,000 deal for the services of Max Schmeling of Ger- many, Phil Scott of England and Vie- torio Campolo of the Argentine. After weeks of dickering with Hum- bert Fugazy, rival promoter, the Garden announced that Schmeling, Scott and Campolo would fight for the house that Tex Rickard built. The deal gives the Garden a virtual monopoly on the services of the four leading heavyweight contenders for Gene Tunney's vacant throne. Jack Sharkey, the Beston sailor, already is under con- tract to the Garden for a fight at Miami in February. The negotiations with Fugazy transfer to the Garden contracts on Campolo's services for four fights, and on Scott's and Schmeling'’s for one each. ‘The way now seems to be paved for Schmeling’s return to American rings. Schmeling and his American manager, Joe Jacobs, were suspended by the New York State Athletic Commission for Schmeling's failure to fight Scott for was threatened with suspension if 1t But with Fugazy’s withdrawal the been met. Since Fugazy has abandoned his contracts on Scott and Schmeling there does not appear to be any good reason why Schmeling should not be reinstated.

The squad is expected to be augmented when the soccer ball sea- son is over. In the froup, which included several veteran players, were Jimmy Carr, Rolph Jarrell, Woodward Hurd, Robert Kinney and Coleman Headley; James Moore and Warren Evans, centers, and John Schoenbauer, John Haney, Ralph | Pistil, Burdette Cogar, Carlton Heyser, Stanley Lewis and Elmer Mostow. | No permanent captain will be elected. | Coach Stanleigh Jenkins probably will | appoint a leader for each week of the cason. Hyattsville High School's soccer ball team has listed a game with the Balti- more City College eleven for Friday at Rosedale Playground, Washington, and November 19 will engage Rockville High in a return game, which probably will also be on the Rosedale field. Opening their fight for State laurels the Hyattsville High School girls' field ball team, which recently won the Prince Georges County championship, will visit Baltimore Thursday to meet the Annap- olis High team, Anne Arundel County title holder. The game will be played at Patterson Park at 3 o'clock. Candidates for the basket ball team of the First Methodist Episcopal Church South of Hyattsville, which has entered the Prince Georges County Basket Ball League, and which opens Monday night, are drilling Thursday and Friday nights of each week.

Why :I U BAKER SEES FLAG WITHIN TWO YEARS Won't Trade First Division Material on Mere Chance of Bettering Team. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. HE Philadelphia Nationals have been told that for Thompson, their fine second baseman, they can get Hogan, catcher of the Gianis, and Benton, a pitcher of the Giants. The suggestion made its way into the office of the Phillies, and when President Baker of the latter club heard it he said: “Nothing doing. The Philadelphia club has once more arrived at the stage where it is not trading first-division material on a chance that it may get something good or better in return. “This club has something now. We have some good players and a good manager, and we are not heading to- ward a first-division berth, but toward a championship. I can't see where this team of which I am president is not as promising as any other of the National League for 1930. We are looking for players, not for uncertain trades. No ons can break into the Philadelphia iniield by offering pitchers who have been traded once, have not met expec- tations with the club to which they were traded, and who might not win any better for us than for others. “We may not win a championship in 1930, but we may get close to one, and by 1931 perhaps it will be the good fortune of the Phillies to win a flag again and, as we won our first and only world series, we may be able to win our second world series.” Sothern Is Promising. The Philadelphia club is confident that Sothern will be a better outfielder for next season than h: was last season. There seems to be no rea- son why O'Doul should not continue at a fast pace, and with Klein, Sothern and O'Doul the team is held to be cap- able in the outfield, as capable, perhaps, as the other teams in that respect. Philadelphia is in no mood to make any change in the team except to acquire a tip-top young catcher, if there is one to be had, and to obtain the services of two good pitchers if they are to be | found. Philadelphia lost a promising young catcher when Walter Lerain died re- cently in Baltimore after a motor car accident. The Giants once had Thompson, but permitted him to go when he did not appear to be needed for the New York infield. Pittsburgh also had Thompson at one time. Since he left the major league clubs with first claim on him he has developed into one of the best field- ing second basemen in base ball; and when the schedule of 1929 began, it was predicted that, with Thevenow as running mate for Thom , the Phila. delphia infleld would be one of the fast- est at shortstop and second base in either major league. As the Phillies were about to leave their training quarters in Florida, Thevenow was injured in a motor car accident near Lakeland, Fla., and was unable to get back to his team until after midseason. The difference in the Phillies when he returned was notice- able, and managers of other teams as- serted at the close of this last campaign that_Thevenow would be, as good for the Phillies in 1930 as he seemed likely to be for them this past season beforc he was hurt. The Philadelphia club has had its share of hard luck because of injuries to its players in motor car accidents. ‘The management wouldn't mind if the players would play “safety first” every time they hear a motor car. Florida base ball men seem to think that the Boston Americans will not go back to their State to train next Spring. The St. Louis Nationals have returned to Bradenton, where Boston trained in 1929, and Boston might be welcome at Avon Park, where the Cardinals trained last Spring, but the impression exists in Florida that Boston will seek train- ing quarters in Georgla or Alabama next year. The inducements offered to clubs to go to Florida are not as lib- eral as they were three or four years ago. . CONTINUE CUE TOURNEY. E. C. Johnson and Willlam McPeak are scheduled to meet tonight at Elmer’s billiard establishment in the pocket, billiards tournament in progresc there. L. B. Lambert scored over L. A. Smith, 35 to 32, and J. S. Malseeb vanquished R. Leonard by the same score last night in this tournament. VERSATILE GRID PLAYER. By the Assoclated Press. Big Vance Maree, who was shifted from tackle to the Georgia Tech back- fleld early in the season to fill the shoes of the departed Father Lumpkin, has been transferred to the line again. Boggs Bowls Bakers’ Set Markr p As Butter Krusts Win Three NEW set record for the Bakers” Bowling League was established on the Convention Hall alleys last night by Charley Boggs, captain of the Butter Kiusts quint. He socked the duckpins for a 402 count in three games. This mark | excelled the best previous one of 375, made in the league last season by Melcher of Rice Bakery. Incidentally, the Butter Krusts, who are down in the league race, threw a wrench into the second-place Holmes machine by taking all three games. Eula Bates of Silver Spring quint in | the Ladies’ District League tied the high-game record for the c.rcuit, rolling in a postponed match against Queen | Pin Saturday night. Her count was 134, matching the mark made by Edith Brown of King Pin team. Her other ’lmes were 90 and 99, giving her 323 for_the set. Queen Pin annexed all three games, Effie Moore taking the honors for high set with counts of 96, 121 and 113, ior | a total of 330. Hcr teammate, Sarah Updike, shot 312, with high game at 122. Another tponed match resulted in Lucky Strike grabbing the odd game from Meyer Davis. The high spots were Helena Kohler's 314 set, Esther Burton's 310 and Louise Foberti's 3(%. In the Washington Ladies’ League Beeques and Columbians rolled off a postponed match in which the former copped two of three and brought about a triple deadlock for first place, Beeques and Columbians and Hilltoppers each having won 12 and lost 6. Catherine Quigley of the winners fea- tured with 326, getting a neat 126 count in_her second effort. With their ace, Lérraine Gulli, unable to roll on ac- count of being on the sick list, Beeques were compelled to use a substitute, but Ann Morrison jumped in at short notice l{ldllzhor. a neat 286, with high game at 110. Now that the Northeast Temple's all- star quint at last has succeeded in sweeping a three-game set in the Dis- trict League, its match with the leading Kl.n{ Pin bunch Friday n‘ght looms as the big match of the early season. The ‘Temples outcounted Stanford Paper Co. in '.hnglmes last night atv the Coli- seum. e scores were 566, 585 and 584 for Temple, against 531, 568 and 549 for Stanford. Though the Wynnewood Park team took two of three games from Blair in section 2 in the North of Washington Bowling League last night at Silver Spring, the latter team did some nota- ble bowling in the last game. Starting in the eighth box, the Blair quint scored nine marks in a row and won :he game by 94 pins. At the end of the sevcrth box Wynnewood Park was lcading by 9 pins. Blair chot a team total of 576 in irnis third game for a new leaguc record, and Capt Arnold of Blair tied the indi- vidual game mark at 142.

Mrs. McCutcheon's and Jimmy Smith's wherewithal comes from the manufacturing’ concern that czars it over the entire sport, tenpins and duck- pins allkke. Women have made duck- pins grow.
