S NOW HAVE SEVEN RIVALS WHERE THERE WAS NONE Campbell’s Men Fail to Knock Grand Palace Valet Qut of First Place in Hot National Capital League Match—Paul Harrison Shines. BY R. D. THOMAS, OR three years the King Pin bowlin Capital League pennant about as they pleased. Their pro- nounced superiority over the other nine teams made the league so flabby that Howard Campbell, King Pin captain, thought seriously of passing up the flag deliberately this year by weakening f his line-up. But now the King Pins are fighting with all they've got to cling Seven rival line-ups worthy of their steel have cropped up. The championship struggle has become so keen that the & Pins, it is believed, covet the National Capital flag as much as they do to the title. the famous District League title, equivalent of all-city honors. Campbell declares the National Capital League, compared team for team, is stronger than the District. Certainly its individual averages are higher and more big team games and sets have been rolled by its members this season than the District'’s. This may be accounted for, however, by the fact that the District Leaguers| shoot on a cireuit and the National Capital teams roll only at thej,, Lucky Strike. “To win a game in the National Capital now.” says Campbell, “you're lucky to get by with anything less than 600. In one week there were nine ‘600° games in this league. King Pin team is finding the going in it tougher than in the District.” The King Pins lead the District League, but are second in the Na- -tional Capital, and they have a stronger line-up, as & rule, in the National Capital. Today the King Pi from a 2-to-1_ whipping from the Grand Palace Valet team, captained by Leo Rinaldi. Rinaldi is nobody’s setup as a pin shooter, but he sat on the bench when his,team repulsed the | enemy in 8 hot session at the Lucky ns are smarting Shrike viewed by a gallery that jammed | }i L the place. Leo had Paul Harrison, Joe Harrison, Ollie Pacini, Jack Walsten- holme and Max Rosenberg in there and Leo couldn't see where he would strengthen that line-up with his own presence, star that he is. They split even in the first two games and Paul Harrison went wild in the final to give the edge to Grand xl-l"" lace Valet. Starting with the fourth fr‘lme he made four consecutive single pin breaks, then a two-pin mark with an eight-count, muffed a two-pin break and finished with a spare and eight-count for a total of 150. Capt. Campbell threw in a 156-game for the Ki Pins in the final, but couldn't get his men into full gallop. Campbell made the unusual total of six strikes in the set, two of them double- headers. He made six spares and never missed a break. @ result of the victory Rinaldl's tgi‘n!x tops the league with & two-and- Station to finish the series. Next Friday night the King Pins will engage in another major contest, this defense of its leadership in the S et League. | Max Rosenberg’s Leagu: g e Northeast Temple team will e the foe and the scene of battle the ucky Strike. It has been published that the match would be shot at the King Pin. It is an odd arrangement that the King Pins, which represent the King Pin No. 1, the Meyer Davis team, whlgh represents the King Pin No. 2 and the Lucky Strike quint all ¥ their home games at the Lucky Strike. Raymond Ward, anchor man for Mmmytmmmler, is leading the individual race in the National Capital with an average of betfer than 120, a recent 428 set, having pulled him up consider- able. But even with that sensational pace, Ward is unable to get & com- manding lead. Several are close behind him. %e league is featuring a battle of anchor men. Nearly every team sports a flashy performer on ‘bottom. Grand Palace Valet has Max Rosen- berg; the King Pins, Howard Campbell; Meyer Davis, Joe McGolrick, who is shooting better than ever before in his long career; C. W. Smith has Ken "Thorpe; Service Cafeteria, Red Morgan; Georgetown Recreation, Sam Benson; Lucky Strike, Arthur Logan, and Park- way Pilling Station, Mag Wood. They're all carrying fat averages. 1], manager of the Boulevard Chevy Chase, announces s Thanksgiving competition.

FORT WORTH, Tex., November 20.— | Klein, 5 HOME RUN RIVALS DN RUTH GLORY 300 Feet as Minimum Homer Distance Might Boost Babe’s Gate Value. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. THER players than Babe Ruth can make home runs now. Batting is open and free and the man who can't swing like a gate is almost unknown in the big leagues of base ball. The Ruthian novelty is no longer as !x"“ as it was when first imported om Boston to New York. The Phillies have a batting behemoth and the Sox are importing one from California. Cleveland has one who is not so bad and the Cubs are also home-run artists. s e, AT L e hl clouia with ans no v ol wit i e Todl, amy g 0 TS can s only when Ruth hits the ball“;lnher than the average batter hits it that the welkin rings. Haas hit one over the fence in Phila- delphia_that r&l;lnnd the &mzreu of the world series, perhaps its outcome, and Foxx and Simmons hit home runs that_established the American Lcagie firmly as & world series winer, ex- actly as Ruth batted home runs at St. Louis when he got a chance. Politics in Argument. ‘That being the case, politics is play- ing a part in rule suggestions, as it has played before. If there could be some change in the rules by which the dis- tance of the home run could be in- creased it is argued that Ruth would be a bigger attraction, so that advisers of Ruth are dusting around to try to kept this amiable star before the pub- lic regardless of what Col. Ruppert may think. The only difference between the advisers and the colonel is that the colonel E’l Ruth and wants to get all he can in return. If the average home-run batter can be discounted and something be done to make Ruth home runs an 18-kt. article of the big leagues, it is figured that Ruth will be more valuable. Club owners who have home-run batters for short distances, say a little under 300 feet or a little over 275 feet, do not like this. They are just begin- ning to get the benefit of the home-run boom. They think they should bé per- mitted to retain all they can get. Take the Phillles, for instance, with Klein. He is almost sure to go forward and in 1930 will be one of the attractions of the team if home runs are still attractive, Reasons for Homers. A lot of propaganda is being put out | about the recurring home run l‘:'ld the lively ball. There is no lively ball. The bunk about that alibi has been pretty well exploded. re is a home-run orgy and there will be one as long as the fields remain short. Sixty base balls are used in every third or fourth game and pitchers do not know how to pitch. Howard Ehmke pitched the first world series gai of 1929 and it was the first time Cubs seen any pitching in 3 years, so 13 of them struck out. . ‘Undoubtedly base ball would be better off if the home-run distance were made 300 feet, but both major and minor league parks are built with short skirts and s operate in the flapper class. ose who are trying to readfust Ruth's value by making home runs harder +ta get hope to see skirts length- cned and make at least a 275-foot hit necessary to get a home run. That would smake the zoning of the Polo Grounds imperative and also aperate against some other fields. It wouldn't be an extreme remedy, because if any cl is made the home run should be put at 300 feet. That would make a_home run_ worth something, whether Ruth batted it or RIVAL CENTERS WEIGH TOTAL OF 640 POUNDS CHICAGO, November 20 (#).—Four- hundred and sixty pounds of foot balk players will be op) at center when | the University of Washington eleven meets Chicago on Stagg Field Saturday.

GAIN that important golf sec- tion_of the country comprising the District of Colimbia, Mary- land, ‘Virginia, West Virginia and the Carolinas is to be without & voice in the 1930 councils of the United States Golf Association. The report of {he nominating commit- tee of the U. S. G. A., just made pub- lie, indicates that for the sixth con-| secutive year the mid-Atlantic section of the United States again is to be without a delegate in the national governing body of golf. This condition has existed since 1923, when Warren G. Harding died in the office of President of the United States. For three years he was a mem- ber of the United States Golf Associa tion executive committee, and he was the last representative of this section| of the country, although in the larger| sense he never represented the mid- Atlantic States. Not since 1919 has this sector been really represented in a sectional way. In 1918 and 1919 Dr. Walter S. Harban, ‘who directed the destinies of the Co- lumbia course for many years, was a vice president of the national goif body, and, as such, was a member of the executive committee. The officers of the association for next year will be the following: Presi- dent, Findlay S. Douglas of New York: vice presidents, Herbert H. Ramsay and Robert M. Cutting, the former from New York and the latter representing the Western Golf Association; secretary, Prescott M. Bush of New York; treas- urer, Charles H. Sabin of New York; counsel, John G. Jackson of New York. The executive committee consists of representatives of all sections of the country except the mid-Atlantic sectcr and the Southwest, while six sectional, state, or recognized golf associations are represented on the ticket. Ameng the members of the executive commit- tee are Robert Tyre Jones, jr, of At- lanta, the open champion. All' the gentlemen named for the U. . G. A. for 1930, are undoubtedly estimable men and men who will have and always have had the interest of the game of golf at heart. But it must seem strange to the thousands of goil- ers in the territory immediately ad- jacent to the District of Columbia that this group is without a representative on the governing body and has bepn without a voice for so long. It may well be that if the Congressional Coun- try Club is awarded the women’s chan- planship in 1932, a member of that club will take a place on the executive com- mittee of the U. 8. G. A. in 1931. It would be a healthy thing for golf in this section if that came to pass. Arthur B. Thorn, professional at the Woodmont _Country Club (formerly Town and Country), is the new record holder for the course of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club. For many months the record of the rugged course over in Virginia, behind Arling- ton Ridge, stood at 70, a mark set early in the season by R/ Clff McKimmie, the assistant pro of the service club. But yesterday Thorn, who has been playing golf of a spectacular brand for the past month, stepped out and reg- istered a 69 to break McKimraie's mark by a stroke and set a-new record that will take considerable golf to beat. Four birdies fell to the accuracy of Thorn's golf, while on only two occasions was he over par. Perfect golf for the layout of the service club, according to the par on the score card, is 71 strokes, but Thorn was two strokes better than par. Over the tough last nine, which has upset many men who hoped to shoot par or better on the course, Thorn shot a 34, which is a stroke better than par, while he was out in 35, also a stroke below par. He was playing in a four- ball match with S. M. Leidy, a member of the Woodmont Club, Maj. C. A. Sel- leck and Frank Hartig, professional at the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Club. Hartig had the next best score of the quartet, with a 76. Here is Thorn's card, with par for own course record at Woodmont, with a card of €9, and two days ago he reg- istered a 71 over the course of the Co- lumbia Country Olub. He is playing a better brand of golf now than he has played all season. J. Monro Hunter and George Diffen- baugh, famed Indian s‘arlng profes- sional golf duo, are scheduled to play an 18-hole exhibition match at the Army, Navy and Marine Corps course Sunday afternoon against Frank Hartig and R.
