SP HARRISON HEADS SPARKLING CARD Mandley, Friend, Ken Thorpe and Other Experts Shoot in Star’s Tourney. I bright stars goes to the post tomorrow night along with & flock of dubs in The Washington Star's singles tournament at Convention Hall. Among those who figure to have more than an outside chance of topping De Fino are Paul Harrison, Bradley Mand- ley, Ken Thorpe, Georgie Friend, Hymie Schecter, Louis Pantos and Nick Cha- conas. ‘There is no outstanding expert in the women's class on tomorrow’s program and Bess Ackman's 344, in first place, appears safe temporarily. Harrison Draws 'Em. Paul Harrison i3 an attraction on the ‘maple s any time, but he will be a | surcharged magnet tomorrow night.i Due to a record-smashing performance | against the Connecticut All-Stars he is | the most talked of duckpin bowler in the country at this time. It will be his first public appearance since thé Hartford affair. There will be a ca- pacity gallery back of his alley and self-consciousness may be his undoing. It may be difficult for Paul to erase from his noodle that the unusual is expected of him. The thought has wrecked the concentration of many a star. | But for Harrison's skyrocketing, Mandley would be the big shot so far as spectators are concerned. Brad i3 the No. 1 ranking duckpinner of the United States, holder of the record for average in the District League and Howard Campbell Sweepstakes cham- pion. One of these distinctions would make a drawing card of any bowler. Star’s Own Gang. ‘The’ Star’s family will take its turn tomorrow night. Prominent in the delegation are Charley Holbrook, class C singles champion of the Washington City Duckpin Association, and Johnny Ba um. It may be forgotten that Johnny is & member of George Isemann's all- time all-star team, a line-up that was selected after pginstaking examination of archives by an expert. The husky pressman no longer takes the game seriously, however, and is hardly a championship threat in The Star tournament. BY R. D. THOMAS. ONY DE FINO'S mark of 632 will be the target when a group of JACOBS, RICHARDSON IN FINAL AT TENNIS By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 1.—The most favored of the younger brothers' con- tingent and the dark horse contender of the tournament meet today in the final match for the national junior in- door tennis championship. Billy Jacobs of Baltimore City College, first seeded plaver of the tournament. who is fol- lowing in the footsteps of his brother Eddie. is one finalist. His opoonent to- day is John Richardson, Dartmouth plaver, who came to the last round after a series of upsets. Richardson reached the last round yesters by eliminating Donald Frame of Harvard, 6—4. 1—6, 6—3. after hav- 4ng burst into the limelight last week by defeating Sidney Seligson of New York University, second player on the seeded list. Jacobs, the favorite to win the title, took his semi-final match from a townsman, Aaron Miller, 6—0, 6—3. Frame gets a chance to make up for his semi-final defeat today in the junior = X e cersburg. ley meet Sanday and Rghnd Downing of the West Side ‘Tennis Club, New York. Bernard Friedman, young West Phil- adelphia High School player, and Mar- co Hecht of De Witt Clinton High School, New York, ran away with most of the honors in the boys’ ch-mg:nn- ship tournament. They won the right oppose each other in the singles final without much trouble, then paired to- gether to become finalists in the boys doubles. Their opponents in today's doubles match are Giles Verstraaten of the McBurney School, New York, who Jost to Priedman in the singles semi- final y, and Prankie Parker, 13- year-old player from Milwaukee.

Call PROPOSED VIRGINIA BILL WOULD LEGALIZE BOXING RICHMOND, Va., January 1.—A bill 9 legalize boxing in Virginia, while ex- cluding prize fighting, is to be intro- duced at the next session of the General Assembly, which convenes here January 8, and will have the approval of the Norfolk-Portsmouth Chamber of Com- merce. A resolution favoring a boxing bill and specifically excluding prize fighting ‘was adopted by the chamber directors at a, Tecent mee ting, on Fecommendation of a special sports committee headed by €. M 'Bain, "This action has been made public through coples of the minutes of that meeting just distributed. | ‘The directors, after adopting the reso- | lutions asking the General Assembly to enact legislation to legalize boxing, re- ferred the matter to its legislative com- mittee, with the request that the latter Manager Gordan at Metropolitan 1573. | _ b L m ym pE PR A ORTS. G THE SPORTLIGHT By GRANTLAND RIC For 1930, Facing another start Out from the mass, Write this upon the chart Under Time's glass: “Here’s to the harder part, Here's to the fighting heart”— Up with your glass! Some Starry Comparisons. A cofle«rundmt from the West Coast has this observation to make: 6B “Regardless of the entire season’s showing, I'd like to bet odds upon the ollowing : 1. That Tappan of Southern California will outplay Donchess of Pittsburgh at end in the New Year game. 2. That Barrager will show better line play than Montgomery. 3. That Saunders and Duffield will prove to be better backs than Uansa and Parkinson, ? I am pretty sure I'd win two of these bets—probably all three. I can't think of any easier money now in sight.” It is now a trifle too lat: to go further into the matter, but at least our West Coast correspondent would find all the takers from around Pittsburgh that he could accommodate. Each of the forecasts noted might take place, since anything can happen in a foot ball game. This is especially true where those under ccmparison are all among the best in the game, all stars quite capable of spectacular deeds. But it will take a lot ot blazing foot ball to show up Donchess, Montgomery, Uansa and Parkinson. Quite & lot. ‘The Main Problem. ‘The main problem for 1930 seems to be the discovery of a heavyweight champion who will at least partially fit the throne without sliding under the seat. The two outstanding parties are still Sharkey and Schmeling, and their contributions through 1929 were not enough to lift either to any dizzy altitude. Schmeling was leading the pack until he became overtangled with managers and what not, and he finished the year without having struck a blow in six months. Which is no way for an aspiring champion to spend the most promising part of his career. Sharkey’s main contribution was the quick knockout he fed Tommy Loughran, as his showing in the Stribling soiree was nothing to cheer about. Yet if any champion is finally crowned before 1931 slips into action it will almost surely be Sharkey or Schmeling. It isn't likely that any other candidate can come along fast enough to upset either of these in the next 12 months. As the situation now lines up, some one will have to show more than any one has shown to date to take over an undented crown that isn’t partially moth- eaten. The title will remain synthetic until some one comes along with enough heart and enough stuff to prove that he can hold a scepter. | On with the song and dance, Out though they pass; Fame, power or romance, Class will be class; Here’s to the sporting chance, Here’s to the bravest lance, Up with your glass! A Few 1930 Predictions. 1. That the Athletics and Cubs will be hard to displace from another ‘World Series, 2. That 'Bobby Jones will win two major golf crowns out of four starts, 3. That the French, through Cochet, will still dominate tennis. 4. That the women’s tennis champion, although under a different name, will still be the same. 5. That Horton Smith will win more open golf tournaments than any other entry. 6. That Notre Dame will be as hard to beat as ever. 7. That Harvard and Yale will be two of the best:teams in the game. 8. That Jimmy McLarnin will be the best all-around fighter of the year. 10. That the number of poor golf shois played will outnumber the good ones by 80 to 1. 11. That unless the boxing game ends its run of fouls, faking, stalling and clinching, even the durable clients will begin to weaken under too much punish- ment. 12, That, barring injuries, Albie Booth of Yale will be the most inter- esting foot ball player around next Fall.

BY REX SAFFER, Assoctated Press Staff Writer. . IAMI, Fla, January 1.—Its golden traii of golf paved with $38,500 in purses for the an- nual invasion of the pros, Florids is wondering who will be the clean-up man this Winter. Last year Horton Smith, the lanky Missouri youngster, followed up a glit- tering start in the West by shooting his way to supremacy in four major Florida open tournaments as well as the North and South at Pinehurst, N. C. ‘The Florida season will open with the new year and will be climaxed by the $15,000 La Gorce open at Miami Beach March 20 to 22. The Miami open, worth $3,000, will be the curtain raiser. ‘That event will open the way to other lucrative contests with prize totals vary- ing from $2,500 to $5,000. About Same as in 1928. ‘The_tournament slate will differ little from that of a year ago, although two Southern events, the Hot Springs, Ark., and Miami Beach opens, have been called off. Fort Lauderdale, on the Florida east coast, has a $2,000 event under consideration to replace the Miami Beach affair. After the Miami ope: amateur and pros move to Northwest Florida February 5 for the $3,500 Pen- socola-Valparaiso open. Another $3,500 purse will be waiting at Fort Myers, on the west coast, following the Pensa- cola program. ‘The West Coast open at Bellair will put anothe: $3,000 in golf socks and the St. Petersburg open will add $2,500. The semi-climax will come March 9 to 12 at La Gorce, where $5,000 has been hung up for the international four-ball matches, captured a year ago by Walter Hagen and Leo Diegel. After the La Gorce open the north- ward migration will start, with the $3,500 Florida open at Jacksonville pre- ceding the North and South at Pine- hurst March 27 and 28. a $5.650 event. Smith, Hagen and Diegel will head a small army of golfers who will attempt to get their share of the cut. The list includes Gene Sarazen, who copped the Miami and Miami Beach opens last Winter; Wild Bill Mehlhorn, Johnny Farrell, Ed Dudley, Tommy Armour, Al Espinosa, Densmore ute, Willle Mac- Farlane, MacDonald Smith, Harry Cooper. Jack Burk, Billy Burke, Prank Ball, Willie Klein, Joe Turnesa and a flock of others. Play in Big Nine i Liberty | State Combines Defenses BY SOL METZGER. Practically all “Big Nine” basket ball—I think that is the proper term for the present-day Western Confer- ence—is based on a combination zone and man-to-man defense. Once the opponent gets the ball you will see the players of the team that lost it scurry like mad to the positions shown in the diagram, the two guards occupying positions at either side of the basket, the center in front of it. ‘These three men hug these zones WESTERM CONFERENCE. 3-MAN ZONE. DEFENSE ~ FORWARDS COVER LAST TWO OPPONENTS TO_ComE DowN and are responsible for the oppo- nents in them. Then, why not rush A second man into one of these zones, you may ask? That is done. But the remedy is the two forwards in the front line. They cover the last two opponents to get into the attack, and they cover them in man- to - man fashion. Naturally, this takes care of a superabundance of opponents in any zone. There is a method other than de- fensive in this plan for preventing the other fellow scoring a basket. You see, if you regain possession of the ball early in such an attack the two forwards are in position for & quick break down the court for the other basket, a type of attack that is always effective. Basket ball is kaleidoscopic in its changes from defense to offense. That's what makes it such a thrilling game. With the Bowlers Pete McCurdy put on & spurt just when Jack Gooding lost his aim in the last game and wcn the final of the King Pin elimination tournament by a decisive margin, 579 to 547. In the consolation flight Celm Weid- man defeated Pop Maize, 505 to 555, Weidman's 135 was high for the night in both flights. It was the third successive victory for Weidman in the second 16. W.

Wllll{m Gillette, the stage idol of the past decade or more, in recent years a retired gentleman living on his estate in the lower valley of the Connecticut River, is still regarded as one of the greatest living actors, and “Sherlock Holmes." a detective story of his own, done in_ collaboration with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is regarded as one of the great American plays. Of all his plays Mr. Gillette likes “Sherlock Holmes” the best, and for that reason it was se- lected for his tour of farewell to the stage, the farewell of a noted Ameri- can gentleman, a distinguished novelist, dramatist, actor, theater manager, and one of the most gracious figures in American life. _ Mr. Glllette, with “Sherlock Holmes,” comes to the National directly from the New Amsterdam Theater, New York, the largest theater in the metropolis, where the play ran to capacity au- diences . - *ix weeks and could prob- ably have gone on indefinitely had it not been the desire of Mr. Gillette to visit as many scenes of his former triumphs as possible, GAYETY—"Oriental Girls.” ‘The “Oriental Girls,” coming to the Gayety Theater next week, is one of the new productions sent out this season by the Mutual Burlesque Association. The troupe is competing for a prize with all other burlesque companies on the road. “Oriental Girls” say they have “the goods” and are going to prove it. The plece is making its debut all around the “wheel,” and is staking its faith on the quality of its two principal comedians, Jack La Mont and Joe Allen, and the spectacular appeal of two main scenes, “Toyland” and “Orientale,” the former said to be a setting unique and the latter to be pictorially appealing. Others in the company include “Chubby” Drisdale, Frank O'Rourke, Oscar Smith, the Wallace Sisters, Alma Mack, soubrett, and a singing chorus, Monday, Wednesday and Friday mati- nees for ladles are a feature of the Gayety. Down and Through With Right Shoulder BY SOL METZER. Gene Sarazen makes quite a point about the right shoulder coming down and through in his iron shots. It does. It has to if the shot is played correctly. You see this shot, like most of them, is a punch through with the right arm after the club is pulled half way down with the straight left. This right-arm punch through not only supplies the necessary SARAZEN THE. RIGHT SHOULDER 16 PULLED DOWN ANOD THROUGH AS RIGHT HITS THROU GH = T e force, but also gets one's wrists into a shot. Naturally it pulls the right shoul- der down and through into the posi- tion Sarazen is sketched in after contact. Play the shot as it should be played and the right shoulder will take care of itself. The pivot is the least understood phase in golf instruction. Sol Metzger has prepared a leaflet on the pivot which he will gladly send to any reader requesting it. Inclose a stamped, addressed envelope.

Joset Lengyel, lyric tenor “extraordi- nary,” as they say in Europe, comes with’ the German Grand Opera Co. that opens its four-opera season next Monday evening with Wagner’s brilliant “Die Walkure” at Poli's Theater. Leng- yel we will hear in the lovely lyric opera of Mozart, “Don Juan,” the third opera in the list, to be given Priday evening, January 10, following “Tristan and Isolde,” by Wagner, on Wednesday evening. . Lengyel comes from a distant ham- let in Russian Poland, Slomniki. With the gift of a rarely beautiful soprano voice, Lengyel was a boy chorister. He traveled all over Europe as a wonder- child and is one of those rare voices that —like John McCormack — came back after years as a boy chorister. His splendid delivery, natural phrasing, subtle easiness and bel canto effects resulted in a series of brilllant suc- cesses in Central European opera houses, his last trlumphs being in Germany.

The good results she got from it sold me on it too.” REM quickly spreads a film over irritated throats explains its splendid results. Economical, too!
