D. THOMAS. CORE a double victory for Pete worth! Teny de Fino of the Petworth team in the District Men's League, and Bess Ackman of the Pet- worthians in the District Ladies’ League are champions of their respec- tive classes in the second annual sin- gles tournament sponsored by The Washington Star, which ended last night at Convention Hall. ‘They vanquished approximately 1,400 bowlers. Each nearly lost out on the final night. Plain hard luck probably cost Betty Hoffman of the District Ladies’ League and PFreddy Moore, the Meyer Davis bowler, first places. Rolls Despite Sprained Ankle. Handicapped by a sprained ankle Mrs. Hoffman shot 342 to land second and Moore 627 to finish third. Both had tough breaks at the finish. In the ninth box of her final game Mrs. Hoff- man_hit perfectly for a spare, a four- pin break, and two pins remained mur With this mark and a count of ly 3 she would have topped Mrs. Ackman. Moore had almost the same experi- ence. At the end of his set he made a beautiful pocket hit and got a triangle pointing away from him, requiring a phenomenal shot for a spare. He tried in vain. A mark and count of six would have beaten De Fino. J. Talbort was the only other to bag a prize on final night, his 603 placing him twelfth. Mrs. Hoffman, Elsie Pisher with 328, Florence Sabean with 324, Margaret Miltner, the defending champion, with 318 and Virginia Yarnell with 317, all got within the pay-line last night. In the men's class, 596 was the lowest | score worth a prize, and the limit in the | ‘women'’s class was 317, there being 20! prizes for men and 10 for women. | Gulli Misses Prize List. i Lorraine Gulli, regarded as the fore- | most girl duckpinner in the game'’s history, was beaten for tenth place by one pin. ‘There were 13 “600” sets in the men's section and about 15 “300” scores by ‘women, the tournament in this respect outstripping last year’s by much.

Y., professional, surk an 8-foot putt as dusk fell tonight to win first-day hon- ors in the annual $3,000 Miami open golf tournament with a score of 150 for the 36 holes. Brady was just one stroke ahead of Al Heron, Reading, Pa., and Willie Klein, Miami Beach and former Miami open champion, as the 155 registrants in the 72-hole tourney finished their driving and putting for the day. He made his putt under the diffi- culties of near-darkness and a high wind that had played havoc all day with wood and iron shots, after he had been told that a second stroke would bring him into a’ tie. Gene Sarazen, defending champion, encountered bad going to finish tonight with & group that held 155 for their day's mark and with seven other con- testants between him and the three| leaders.

'ASHINGTON bowlers, repre- senting the Grand Palace Valet Shop, last night won the team and doubles events of the intercity match with the Con- necticut All-Stars, but were beaten in the singles when Howard Campbell cut down, but could not overcome, the 39-pin lead established by Jack White at Hartford last week. A clean sweep was made by Wash- ington of all three sections of the con- cluding block, the singles of which were rolled in the afternoon at the Lucky Strike, followed by doubles and teams at the Coliseum, and in accomplishing this feat it is believed that two new world records were hung up. In the first three games of doubles Paulie Harrison and Maxie Rosenberg turned in totals of 243, 284 and 278, for a mark of 805, which is 26 pins better than the present recognised doubles record of 779, hung up at the national meet at Baltimore in 1928 by Ray von Dreele and Ed Smith of that city. The other figure that is believed to Harrison in rolling successive five-game blocks of 714, 598 and 633 in intercity competition. The previous best on rec- ord is the performance of Barney Spin- ella at Convention Hall when he rolled | 708 with his team, 658 in the doubles and 550 in singles, a grand total of| 1,916, which is 29 pins less than the| aggregate of Harrison. | ‘With merely a four-pin advantage to work on, Grand Palace got off to & good start in the first game, piling up & 616 score, only to have the Connecti- cut men turn in their best game of 659.

Commeneing with a brilliant 145 game, registered with only six spares, Howard Campbell picked up all but 6 of the 39 pins Jack White gained over him at Hartford, and at second game the King Pin ace had forged to the front and held a six-pin advantage. A profusion of slim counts on marks from then on prevented his gaining further ground, and with Jack ‘White rallying after a bad start, Camp- bell had to be content with outscoring him for the day, 588 to 578, the Con- necticut pride winning the singles the 10-game series. 119 93 109 110 188 116 115 116 100 130— . 659 523 601 548 87— Grand Palace Valet Shep. . 109 121 117 105 123 — 13121 112 .

EW YORK, January 4.—Before the 1930 season starts, the base ball world may know a little bit more than the vague bits of information it has learned hitherto about the Cozy Dolan and Jimmy O'Connell scandal. The National League is perturbed. The New York Giants are again in a muddle. The Dolan and O'Connell cases were brought up again this week in a financial row concerning the Giants. The revival of the case has gone 5o far that Judge Kenesaw Moun- tain Landis may have to act again. The National League would like to know whether Magistrate Francis X. McQuade, former treasurer of the Giants, knows anything more about the Dolan-O'Connell affair i(han has al- ready been given out by John J. Mc- G{:“{ manager and part owner of th» nts. Exposure Promised. Promises of an exposure of the called scandal and intimations that Charles A. Stoneham, president of the Giants, along with McGraw “and their clique,” are trying to compel William P. Kenny, backer of ex-Gov. Alfred E. Smith for the presidency, to buy out the Stoncham-McGraw interests at an exorbitant price were made here hy McQuade's counsel. The Dolan-O'Connell case broke iu 1924, when Cozy, as Giant coach, and O’'Connell, the Giants' $75,000 outfield- er, were convicted by Judge Landis of trying to bribe Heinie Sands of the Phillies to throw a game when the Giants, Pittsburgh and Brooklyn were running neck and neck for the pennant. Both Dolan and O'Connell were expellad from organized base ball. ‘The New York base ball club has ‘been a prickly pear to the National League ever since the senior circuit was organized. The first New York club, the Mutuals, was kicked out of the National League in 1876 for failing to live up to prom- ises. The Mutuals established a bad precedent. New York has been making a ever since. Jom B. Day brought New York back into the National League in the eighties, treated his ball players like princes and was thrown down by them. He went broke and the National League had to come to his rescue. Day lost business control of the club and it finally fell | into the hands of Andrew Freeman. Brush Boosted Team. Then he sold out to John T. Brush. The latter began to boost base ball in New York. Shortly he had a pennant winner. That tickled the other owners. Brush proposed some rules for the world series which would make it compulsory to be played under the direction of organized base ball. These were adopt- ed because Brush forced them down the un throats of owners who wanted to run any world series zmmuy‘ di- .evtilvl.:-g up the receipts suit them- After the New York club had played in one world series and made some seven owners wanted with them, but he couldn't see it. By and by Brush died and his es- tate, which succeeded to the control of the club and sold out to the pres- ent owners, patched this quarrel up with the other owners ,and the Glants were reasonably peaceful all during the Hempstead regime. The other seven clubs resented anything that the Giants did which savored expense. Once an official of the Giants increased the meal money for players to the extent of $150 a season and he was taken very severely to task.
