SP 'Wm Meets Howard Campbell Here Tonight RAY RANKED BEST SINGE JOHN VAETH Heffelfinger Off to Fine Start in Defense of News- paper Crown. BY R. D. THOMAS. OT since John L. Vaeth's day has Baltimore pre- sented so great a duckpin bowler as Ray von Dreele, | who tonight will meet Washing- | ton’s favorite, Howard Campbell, | at the Lucky Strike, in the open-| ing skirmish of a ten-game series. Von Dreele is on the way to record| average in the major league of Balti- more. At the last reckoning he was working toward a 121 average on a cir- cuit of drives more varied than used in our own much-touted District| League. xplk the reputation of King Pln‘ Campbell for equanimity under pres-| sure and his near mechanical perfec- tion, there will be no odds in his favor tonight. Campbell is more apt to be steady, but Von Dreele is more likely to be sensational. They are opposite | types, the Washington man cool and| calculative and the other high strung and imaginative. Von Dreele is a| potential record smasher every time he goes to post. There are few bowlers as colorful. A doubles match will precede the sin- gles, with Jack Wolstenholme and Ber- | nie Frye, King Pin teammates of Camp- | bell, opposing Ed Blakeney and Arthur ‘Waters, Baltimore stars. This will start | at 7:30 o'clock. — | After a long, determined struggle the | Wynnewood Park team today leads the parade in section 2 of the giant North of Washington League. On December 15 Wynnewood was in tenth place. Then began a string of successes in which the team won 35 games out of 42, scoring 8 shutouts and 5 two-to-one victories and losing the odd game only once, this to Maryland News. In defeating Blair No. 1, to mak: the step into first place, Wynnewood | rolled 1,615 for its fifth set in the 1,600 class since January 1. This may not sound noteworthy to bowlers of some | the other leagues, but in the North of Wash- ington it's a hot pace. In_the regular Wynnewood line-up are Hoke Bailey, Ray Moore, Ralph Boyd, Frank Procter and the Rev. R. G. Stinemeyer, with Jim Richards and Charley Holbrook as dependable sub- stitutes. Old Colony Laundry can tie Wynne- wood for first place by winning three this week from Diplomat Coffee. Phil Heffelfinger of The Star is bent upon keeping his title as newspaper champion of Washington. Phil clinched | a place in the championship flight by | shooting 561. in the qualifying round to lend the first day’s field at the King Pin. No. 2. Next came Floyd Montgomery of the Book of Washington, who relieved a splitting headache with doses of strikes and spares. His 5-game score was 540, one pin better than that of Willlam Beatty of the National Tribune, who starred in last year's tournament. | P! The qualifying round will be finished | today and tonight after which the field of about 200 will be divided according to scores into classes A and B and the competition ctfitinued elimination style. After each round the fields will be cut in half. Johnny Baum, a former champion, announced today that he would scratch. Johnny declares he intends to quit bowling altogether shortly. Following are the scores made yester- day and last night: 1, Simpson . Fitzgerald . ORTS. THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND- RICE. The Ten Greatest.

Another vote went to Tris Speaker for leading Ty Cobd over 40 points for | first four mo:nths of the race. | Still another earnest fanatic cast his | vote for Grover Cleveland Alexander, who has undoubtedly worked one of the greatest seasons in the broad realm of play.

This is one of a series of articles written by jamous amateur and pro- fessional golfers, telling how they overcame outstanding faults in their play. 'VE been playing tournament golf among the top notchers several years. I have watched all the stars; have studied their methods and practiced diligently to improve my game. It has improved, of course. It could hardly have failed to under the circumstances. But no one realizes better than I that it has to get bet- ter to keep step with the faster pace being set in every tournament. This means that I can't be pleased over my achieve- ments, but ‘must continue to study my weaknesses and attempt_to correct T have my placed my finger on my prin- cipal weakness. If my observation is correct it is a fault common to a great majority of players. It is lack of proper concentration. When I come up to my ball, after having looked over the lay of the land and the demands of the shot, I take my stance. At that particular moment there should be no thought in my mind but that of making) this shot perfect. I know whether a hpok or a fade or a straight shot is colléd for. My judg- ment whether a spoon or a No. 2 iron is indicated should be fairly sound, as T have had to make thousands of such decisions. In short, I have the situ Tony Manero. tion sized up, and my task is to carry it out as well as I can. It sounds basically simple, doesn’t it? | Yet, many times just as I take the | club-head back my concentration fal- ters. I begin to think of other things. What will happen if the shot doesn’t come off?> How will I play the next one? What is Hagen or Diegel or Mehl- horn doing? Just what score do I need to do to get up in front? All sorts of | thoughts not connected with the job | immediately in hand. It's easy to see what the result will be. Even taking it for granted that the swing is grooved by years of play and practice, disaster is bound to re- sult. You can't play golf without keep- ing your mind on the job. Having found that out, I started in to correct my fault. The only way was to keep constant guard on myseif. When I caught my attention wander- ing I bawled myself out. There was no relaxing that attention. Developing concentration is like developing a swing. Only the strictest attention to the job and long practice will accomplish it. I found it paid. During the Catalina open—my first big tournament victory —I found that the lessons had taken root. I paid attention to each prublem as it came up and didn't try to think ahead. It paid. It will pay you to concentrate, too. STRAYER GIRLS WIN. Strayer's Business College defeated | the Capital A. C. sextet, 59—16, in a | | basket ball game. | | MAYTAG SETS GOLF MARK. | ST.

CHICAGO. March 12.—Purdue, win- ner of the Western Conference basket ball championship, with 10 straight victories, placed two men—Charles “Stretch” Murphy, one of the all-time greats of Big Ten basket ball, and John- ny Wooden, a sophomore, who prom- ises to become an immortal of the league—on the all-star team selected for the Associated Press by conference coaches. Murphy, of course, is at center, unan- imous choice for the third straight sea- son. Wooden is the leading choice for Dr.|a guard position. With them are Branch McCracken, Indiana’s high- scoring center, and Bud Foster, Wiscon- sin_center, who are placed at forwards, and Bob Chapman of Michigan, select= ed for the second consecutive year at guard, ‘To so great an extent did centers dominate play during the season that the coaches named four men who played at the pivot position to the first team, moving them about to other positions. Wooden was the only player who worked at guard all season to gain & job in his natural position. He is also the only man who will return next season. ‘The selections: First Team. Position.
