C-2 * S 205 STICKS GVEN ONE TAX BOWLER Internal Revenue Tourney Next Week Will Have Nearly 200 Entries. BY R. D. THOMAS. . A. WILLIAMS, with an average of 70, will have as much chance to win the big Internal = Revenue sweepstakes tournament as E J. Budjako, whose pace is 111. Willlams will draw the largest handicap ever given a Washing- ton bowler. Budjako, scratch man in the field of nearly 200 to | get under way next Tuesday at the Lucky Strike, must concede Wil- liams 205 sticks in five games, or the full difference between their averages for each string. C. C. Joy, chairman of the tourna- ment committee, announced todgy that 165 entries at three bucks a throw had been received, with the deadline to fall at 5 o'clock. He expected many more, but with no additions the tournament would be the largest of its kind ever | 1d here. h!'rhe field will be split in two, the| first half to shoot next Tuesday at 5 o'clock and the second the following Thursday at the same time. Drives already have been assigned for the Tuesday squad and the Thursday as-| signments will be annouriced in a day | or so. Cost of games will be deducted from the ent_ry!(ee, thus leaving $2.25 of | each man's dough for the prize fund. This will be split $50. $40, $30, $25, $20, $17.50, $15. two $12.50, three $10 and four $8. The prize list is subject to change, however, depending upon | the number of entries received. It is| lanned to have l“ratk:‘! of one prize or_every five participants. Onlyr{hou mm have rolled at least 15 es in the Internal Revenue, Audit Review, Special Advisory Com- mittee and General Counsel Leagues are eligible. It is expected the tournament will be made an annual event, with the winner each year to have his name engraved on a perpetual trophy.

It was not a great day by any means for I cut loose with three | wild heaves, and I decided I had come | along too fast. So did the Pirates. They sent me to the Southern League under Manager Molesworth, but in a year I was back once again, and have been in the National League ever since, BUSTING INTO BASE BALL “How I Broke Into the Major Leagues.” BY HAROLD TRAYNOR As Told to John F.

EW YORK, February 14.—What probably will happen at the | annual meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis Assocla- | tion in St. Louis tomorrow with | respect to the holding of an open | championship is this: The national | national Lawn Tennis Federation that | 90 |open tourneys be sanctioned, provided §3 [not more than one tournament of the | 95 [sort is held in each country in the course of a year. 1t should be borne in mind that the United States Lawn Tennis Association is governed by the rules of the federa- tion and may take no step in the mat- |ter of new rules without the sanction |of the international organization. |. Some time ago the executive commit- | |tee of the National Association sub-! 9 | mitted an amendment to the féderation | 99 | rules which favored the playing of tour- 99 'naments in which amateurs and . pro- 85 | fessionals would meet just as in the 83 [open golf matches. This proposal is 3|on file abroad as part of the agenda for the annual meeting of the Interna- tional Federation on March 27. But in the meantime England has accepted the open tourney idea, with, however, an amendment stipulating that no country may hold more than one open affair in a 12-month period. ‘There is every chance that the United States Lawn Tennis Association, in con- 5 | vention assembled, will 96 B 88 29 103 il ™ 8 # 86 20 FLORIDA SHERIFFS FAIL TO FIND ANY GAMBLING MIAMI, Fla.,, February 14 (#).—Dep- uty sheriffs last night visited dog | tracks, Jai Alal games, night clubs and amusement halls.

CHICAGO, February 14.—Match- maker Nate Lewis of the Chicago Sta- dium must find another date for the proposed bout between Sammy Man- | dell, world lightweight champion, and Jimmy MecLarnin, Vancouver welter- weight, set for February 24. The Illinois State Athletic Commis- sion yesterday refused permission to hold the bout on that date, saying it was too close to Jack Dempsey’s show at the Coliseum, February 21. The commission had previously al- lotted the stadjum a fight for February 28 and yesterday reproved Lewis and other. officials for not -having made formal applications for the .February 24 date, before announcing the fight and placing the tickets on sale, The protest to the commission was made by Leonard Sacks, business man- ager for Jack Dempsey, on the grounds that the dates were foo close together to warrant either show doing the busi- ness. the . fights merited. After the commission decreed the sta- dium must adhere to its original date, Matthmaker Lewis immediately set out to learn if Mandell and McLarnin were both free for February 28. 8 93 Phiester Another big sweepstakes will second annual for bowlers of Italian traction, to be held February 21 at the Northeast Temple, with Leo Rinaldi as chairman. Leo is taking entries at 728 Ninth street northwest, and Max Rosen- berg is accepting 'em at the Temple. A large field is assured. The Italians had a red-hot tournament last Winter. This was a scratch affgir, but this time the bowlers will be divided into classes A and B, depending upon their averages. A silver trophy will be awarded the winner of each class, and there will be cash prizes for first, second and third places. Somehow the Italians manage to get more fun out of the game than any other distinctive group of Washington bowlers. They put lots of Latin pepper into their play and victory is more of a | reward than cash. Competition will end tomorrow night | in the Masonic sweepstakes at Con- vention Hall and play will start n the Prince Georges and Mdntgomery County stakes at Henry Hiser's Hyattsville Ar- cadia and his pin plant at Bethesda. All bowlers in the counties are eligible. ‘They will shoot at 6 o'cloc!

Perlick has been signed to Teplace Frankie Hayes, Philadelphia puncher. Leonard Sacks, Dempsey’s business manager, signed Perlick, believing the latter would be a more suitable oppon- ent for the veteran than Hayes, who, like White, is a southpaw. HOLD BIKE RACE LEAD.

Some may deem it a laughing matter to call the ball one of the three points of most concern to the golfer. But if you fail to so consider it, the result is costly in strokes. ‘Take your eyes off the ball as you swing (as those who try to hit it a | mile invariably do) and a topped shot follows. ‘Take putting first. The best tip about it concerns the ball.

DON OUT TO BREAK SEGRAVE'S REGORD ‘American Car Also May Be! | Tried on Famous Course [ in Florida. BY ALAN GOULD, Assoclated Press Sports Editor. AYTONA BEACH, Fla,, Feb- ruary 14.— Twenty - five years ago Henry Ford, in | a five-cylinder automobile of his own design, figured among the earliest attempts to smash speed records in the smooth, packed sands forming the natural speedway of Daytona Beach. Eleven years ago Ralph de Pal- ma gambled with stakes of $15,000 for the establishment of a new record and won as he roared over the straightway at a rate of near- ly 150 miles an hour. Last year as the climax of a venture costing upward of $90,000, Sir Henry O. D. Segrave streaked the “measured mile” in his Golden Arrow at the rate of 231.263 miles per hour for & new world record by a substantial margin. Now, as the climax of a keen British rivalry being fought out on American shores, Kaye Don will attempt to sur- pass Segrave's record with 24- cylinder Sunbeam Silver Bullet in the & quitter. They might break his backi | ;ove might have severed the cord, | Fecord trials scheduled March 15-30, on, the stretch of sand that has become the most famous battleground of speed in the world. Don, famous British driver, is bring- ing over a machine designed especially for the tests by Louis Coatelen, a Frenchman, who has been in the mo- tor car business in England for about 30 years. Behind this year's attempt is a dramatic story of years of rivalry l.r;‘ 1:1he design and success of speed ma- chines, British Make Trials. The attack upon speed records on Daytona Beach, scene of all successful attempts since 1904 with exception of one year, 1926, has been confined al- the last 10 years. Three of the last four record-smashing performances here have been registered by Maj. Segrave and Capt. Malcolm Campbell. ‘The fourth, by Ray Keech in the ill- fated White Triplex, represents the only American coptribution. Keech now is dead and the machine in which he set the record was demolished in the fatal crash of Lee Bible last year, With a few exceptions, American manufacturers have not manifested interest in buflding the machines that hurtle down this smooth-packed straightaway at terrific speeds. The opinjons seems to be that the auto- mobile business has been too good to permit this ‘diversion, Although not a maker of commercial | machines J. M. White of Philadelphia | has remained in the fleld. Despite the disaster to his original 36-cylinder Tri- plex, it is understood by Daytona Beach officials that White plans constructjon of a 48-cylinder machine with which to attempt record trials in 1931. The record now is at a point where experts consider the limit not far off, although the advance ballyhoo for Don is that he expects to reel off the mile at a rate of 250 miles per hour. Best Course to Be Had. Under the direction this year of Val Haresnape, former secretary of the con- test board of the American Automobile Association, the city of Daytona Beach has put its d_trials on a basis de- signed to make them an annual world champlonship for at least 10 years, The city has underwritten ' the yen- ture, opened it to the public free*and removed any possibility of its becoming a commercial proposition. The project is based upon the fact | that nowhere else is so per: course provided for these daredevil.| dangerous _performances. Haresnape | estimates that $25,000 was spent in a vain attempt last year to make the Verneukpan, South Africa, suitable for the attempts of Capt. Campbell to set | & new record.
