EW YORK, December 17.— Bobby Jones’ last and greatest campaign has won for him the Sullivan me- morial award as this country’s outstanding amateur athlete dur- ing 1930. Jones, who accomplished the unprecedented feat of winning all four major golfing championships in a single year, won out by an overwhelming margin over a field | of nine other candidates for the award, given for the first time in memory of James E. Sullivan, pioneer worker in the A. A. U. The award, a gold medal, goes “to the athlete who by his performance and by his example and influence as an amateur and a man, has done most during the year to advance the cause of sportsmanship.” Some members of the A. A. U. Me- morial Committee felt that Jones, by abandoning amateur competition and signing a movie contract, automatically has climinated himself from the contest. But a large majority pointed out that the contestants were to be judged on what they were and what they had ac- | Sa: complished during the year. Bobby Four-Square. Furthermorre it was the general opinion that the Atlantan’s action in signing the movie contract, had been “entirely above board and marked by that frankness and openness Which always Das been one of his characteris- tics” and had made him “stand out mm‘thm ever as a thorough sports-| man.’ Pointing out his magnificent golf ac- complishments the Selection Commit- tee added that “during the several years he has been in the public eye there has not been a single reflection on his sportsmanship or amateur status.” “By his excellence of performance, retiring nature, disdain for acclaim, helpfulness to and generous spirit toward his opponent and fine example under many trying situations, he has endeared himseif to all lovers of ama- Helen Moody Second.

THE EVEN trict bowlers are expected to follow step. I-‘I’ereto!m‘e, mixed doubles bowling here had been confined almost entirely to “blind pig mixed doubles,” in which :.he girls draw man partners after roll- ng. 'HAT a mixed doubles league soon will be organized appears certain. In the meantime a bevy of spe- cial matches appear on the horizon. The second block of the Gulli-Pacin and Smith-Campbell teams still is to be rolled, but not this week. Eddie | Espey and Eva Gude stand ready to challenge the winners. Another match involving the Gulli- Pacini due and a brand-new mixed doubles team is set for Friday. The new team is composed of George Lang, one of Baltimore's_foremost mapleshooters, and Margaret Leaman, Rendezvous and Columbian pinette. ‘The first block will be rolled at 8 o'clock at Rendezvous. Immediately after this match both parties will leave for the Lucky Strike, where they’ll bowl the second and final block. This match promises plenty of bat- tling. The Gulli-Pacini team, though trailing Howard Campbell and Mar- Jorie Smith by two pins, set up a new world mixed doubles record by rolling 272, Lorraine’s 159 and Pacini’s 113 doing the trick The George Lang-Margaret Leaman duo is formidable. Both are stars of the first magnitude. Lang is almost as well known in Washington as he is in Baltimore. Miss Leaman is one of the District’s ranking woman bowlers. Mar- garet, when paired with Thelma “Tom- my” Clark, a former Convention Hall teammate, formed one of the best wom- an’s doubles teams. IXED doubles will have a big in- ning Saturday night at the Ar- cadia, when a tournament will be staged, drawing a host of Baltimore stars here as well as District luminaries. ‘What George Isemann declares is the oldest mixed doubles team of Wash- ington will compete Saturday. It is composed of Magnus Wood and Mrs. G. L. Isemann. They first rolled to- gether in 1915 and 1916, Mrs. Isemann winning the United States women's singles championship in the latter year. Harry Brauer and Olive Ford, who held the high game record until it was smashed last Saturday, will roll to- gether at the Arcadia next Saturday. ‘Theirs record was 269. N unknown donor came through with 20 bucks yesterday to add to the prize fund of the “blind pig” unemployment tournament which is now in_progress. ‘The $20 will be the first prize for the men. A ton of coal will constitute the first prize for women. The entry fee is $1, including the three games. All ex- cept the 12 cents for the pinboy will be turned over to the Unemployment Com- mittee. Entries will remain open until the tournament closes. TASK FOR GREENLEAF TO KEEP CUE CROWN Must Win Three Matches in Row for Title in World Pocket Billiards Tourney. RK, 'mber 17.—Once more Ralph Greenleaf of New York faces an uphill battle to retain his world pocket billiards championship. As a result of the spectacular play of Erwin Rudolph, Chicago ace, Green- leaf must defeat Onofrio Lauri of New York in the championship tournament tonight and Rudolph tomorrow night to gain a tie. Should he accomplish this he then would have to meet Rudolph in a play-off for the title. That's a large contract for any bil- liard player, but Greenleaf accom it last year and he may be able to re- peat. At Detroit a year -s:‘(l:ne.nku defeated Rudolph in the tourna- ment match to deadlock the final stand ing, and then beat him again the fol- . | lowing night to win the title. Rudolph hung up his sixth successive victory of the tournament last night, de- feating Arthur Woods, New York, 125 to 108, in 33 innings. Greenleal has won four matches and lost one. All the other six entrants are out of the running with two defeats or more. Lauri is third with four victories and two defeats; Frank Taberski, Schenec- tady, N. Y., fourth with three and three; Woods and Bennie Allen, Kansas City, are tied for fifth with three and four; Pasquale Natalie, Chicago, seventh with one and five, and Thomas Boatman, mm-nd, Oreg., eighth with one and Of these, Woods, Allen and Boatman all have concluded their schedules.
