TWO NEW COURSES 70 OPEN N SPRING Fine Layouts for Golfers in Anacostia, Potomac Projects. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ASHINGTON will take \ ;s ; rank with the leading public links cities of the Nation this year when S. G. Leoffler opens up a new nine- hole course in East Potomac Park and another new nine-hole course is opened in Anacostia Park to be operated under the jurisdiction of the Board of Public Welfare. From a city with seven nine-hole layouts Washington will jump to a| €ity with no fewer than nine municipal | ®olf courses in every section of the| Capital except the populous Northeast. And there is plenty of room for such a course in the stretches of vacant land that lie north of Rhode Island avenue. For the first time since municipal golf became a factor to be reckoned with in Washington, Leoffler is to have competition when the Anacostia course opens. The course was built by Johnny Kearns, under the direction of O. P. Fitts, course supervisor at Columbia Country Club, and although it lies on flat land near the Anacostia River, it will be one of the most interesting of the public links layouts anywhere in the Capital. It will be opened in May, in direct opposition to the several lay- outs operated by Leoffler where the Anacostia River flows into the Potomac. Courses Well Spread. When this layout is thrown open ‘Washingtonians who have golf on their minds will have available for play handy courses. The thickly populated Northwest section has the fine gRock. Creek Park course in its heart.® The Southeast and Southwest sections will| have the Anacostia Park course, and | from all parts of the city are drawn| the players who use the four layouts in East Potomac Park. In the Spring a new nine-hole course will be thrown open in East Potomac Park, making five nine-hole courses in all to be available for golfers in this great waterside park and bringing the dream of the early developers of the park nearer completion. Under original plans East Potomac Park was to be a great recreation cen- ter for all the people. But the plan for construction of a great stadium south of the railroad tracks, extending from driveway to driveway across the park, has not been carried out, and the new | @olf course now occupies part of the| site that originally was intended to be used as the location of the stadium. Across the park south of the raflroad tracks, under the plan for park develop- ment, is to be cut a canoe canal, which would make an additional hazard for 'mfle golf course if lu wer: wvl‘:: de- loped. This canal would provide an outlet directly into She 1 small craft from the Washington Chan- nel, but no steps have been taken to bring it about. If the canal is dug, it would not have to disturb the golf course, for a water hazard of the width of a canoe canal would make an interesting problem for the public links golfers. ‘Will Be Fully Equipped. Next year Washington will have am- ple public links golf facilities to serve| the city, thus going far ahead of the neighboring City of Baltimore, which has only three courses, and none as good as either Rock Creek or East Potomac Park. TB‘I committee appointed to investi- |4 gate the possibility of holding a big national championship at Con. gressional Country Club in 1932 is to meet shortly to consider the question in all its phases. Henry J. Richardson, chairman of the Grounds Committee of the club, and Guy Mason, chairman of | the Tournament Committee, are to at- | tend the annual meeting of the United | States Golf Association in New York | January 10, and will be guided by the | final recommendations of the committee &s to what shall be done. The inside dope on the Congressional bid for the championship js this: Con- gressional was advised shortly after the amateur championship last September that the club could have the amateur title event in 1932 if sufficient pressure were brought to bear on the U. 8. G. A. ‘This came in an unofficial from one of the officers of the national golf ly. ngressional went to work to find out about cost and convenience to the club membership. Donald Ross, prominent course archi- tect, was consulted, and reported that| he could bring the course into first-| class condition in orcer to hold the| tournament in 1932, but that the work would run into considerable money. He advised against rushing the course in| that fashion, but said it could be done. | With this recommendation before it, the | club board of governors felt disposed to | accept Ross’ advice, inasmuch as h?l had told them the course can be brought | along slowly to reach the peak of con-| dition in 1935 or 1936 at a considerably | lower cost. That is the situation in| which Congressional finds itself today with regard to the possibility of its bid for the amateur championship in 1932, | At the same time the George Washing- ton Bicentennial Commission has sought & national championship for Washing- ton in 1932. Meanwhile Baltimore Country Club 15 ready to make a bid for the 1932 title event, and the feeling at Congres- sional is that it would be just as well to let the chambpionship go elsewhere in 1932, prepare the course for a cham- plonship later and go after a title event along about 1935. The committee is to meet shortly and make its cecision definitely known, but it is probable that Congressional will not bid for the 1932 event. ILLUSTRATED COACHING 74 Lantern Slides to Depict Basket Ball Tutoring Methods. Everett S. Dean, basket ball base ball coach at Indiana Univer- sity, has completed the preparation of a set of 74 colored lantern slides fllus- trating new methods of instructin for basket ball coaches. The slides, by form pictures, charts and explanations, visualize basket ball plays and funda- mentals. ‘The following fundamentals of basket ball are included in the content of the slide series: Chest shot, underhand shot, underhand pass, one-hand pass, ice pass, push pass, shoulder pass, base ball pass, dribble, low dribble, nal ural stop, jump stop, pivot, front turn, rear turn, defensive positions and basic stance ‘The charts of offensive plays cover Big Ten plays, percentage basket bll, fast . long-pass game, delayed offense, criss-cross offense, long-shot follow-up game, out-of-bounds plays. -ball plays, center plays and de- e formations at center.

Announcement that Johnny Priest, Washington boy, an infielder, is shipped by the New York team to Indianapolis causes surprise as Man- ager Jim McAleer of the Washing- ton team was sweet on Priest who formerly played shortstop for the Danville team. Despite his extreme youth Priest, who stands 6 feet, made a fine record with Danville. CONCORDS ACHIEVE SOCCER FINAL ROUND Beats Newport News Team to Get to Last Round of Set.for Association Title. ‘Washington-Concord soccer eleven is in the final round of the Washington and Southeastern District Soccer Asso- ciation Cup tie. It reached there as the result of a 3-to-2 triumph over a des- perately struggling Newport News, Va., team yesterday on the Monument Grounds. Washington-Concord will face the victor in the other semi-finalwbe- tween Marlboro and D. C. Kickers to be played next Sunday probably at Sil- ver Spring, Md.

Berelin and Malloch also were conspicu- nuslm the scoring of their team’s other als. RoNewport News scored both its goals in the first half. J. Groves came through with the Virginians' initial tally, which also was the first score of the game when he headed the ball in after recei ing a pass from N. Groves, and Janes tallied the visitors’ second goal when he made good a penalty kick. Maple Chips BY FRANCES E. STAN. MERGING from a strenuous Yuletide tournament program Washington’s bowlers, starting tonight, -are facing the last half of the league pennant chases. Battles galore are’ expected. In the District’s four major loops, the Dis- trict, National Capital, Ladies’ District and Washington Ladies, every team in the first division and many in the sec- ond are to be reckoned with before the championship plum is plucked. Tonight two leading challengers, Northeast Temple and Parkway Filling Station, will strive to overhaul the King Pins. Temple, in the District League, faces Petworth. Parkway, with Jack Whalen making his debut, will engage King's Palace in the National Capital. ‘Tomorrow, with Marie Frere Whalen in the line-up, Columbians, in the Washington Ladies’ League, will begin a fight to catch up with the Beeques, ‘ACK WHALEN, in winning the Na- tional Sweepstakes crown, averaged 121 and 1 pin, considerably less than his league average, which is 127. Girl ‘bowlers are due for a crack at a national sweepstakes crown and a fat | wad of dough next year. Pcpped up over the success of the men’s first national stakes last Satur- | day, Secretary George Is:mann of the | National Duckpin Bowling Congress, announced, following Jack Whalen's | sensational triumph, that a woman' national would be staged next year. So far as we know, that single No. 9 pin that refuscd to fall for Brad Mandley is the highest priced stick—in bowling history. It cost Brad 600 bucks. When the time comes for the No. 1 ranking, Jack Whalen certainly will have a big point in his favor. Mickey Whalen, that venerable foul line judge, was all grins after the show last Saturday. He didn't blow his whistie once! | Maybe John 8. Blick didn't have an | ear-to-ear grin on his face when it | was ov'r. He has maintained for sevoral | years that Whalen when in trim has never had a superior. 1t's pretty tough to please 39 bowlers | 3 from Massachusetts to Georgia who plunk down $50, but that's exactly what Promoter George Isemann did. It was as prrfectly handled as any tourna- ment in the memory of the scores of old-timers present. TIPS YOUNG BASKETERS | Illinois Coach Says Schoolboys Run ! Too Much in Circles. s Craig Ruby. basket ball coach at the University of Tllinois, criticizes the play of the average high school team. He says “The tendency to Tun in circles is the biggest weakness of the high school player who comes to college. Instead of | cutting straight in front of a guard to | get a pass, he makes a small arc around him. He hasn't learned that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points.” | HAS CLUSTER OF STARS | |Santa Monica’s P AT SANTA MONICA Kern, in His First Big Golf Meet, With Stevens Wins Amateur-Pro Title. BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN. ANTA MONICA, Calif, January 5 (#).—New to big tournament competition Jimmy Kern, Uni- versity of Southern California freshman, and Tom Stevens, his in- structor, today were joint possessors of $1,500 amateur-pro golf title. The 19-year-old student teamed with Stevens, veteran professional from the California Country Club, assisted the twosome into a 30-33—63 best ball score which led by two strokss a field of more than 300 players in two days of play. As his share of the stake money, Stevens collected $300. Behind this combination came three other teams, tied for secondy They were: George Shaw, Culver City amateur, and Horton Smith, New York, pro, with ~ 32-33—65; Bill Jelliffe, Los Angeles amateur titleholder paired with Tony Manero, New York pro, who won the Pasadena open recently, with 35-30—65, and George Bronough, ama- teur, and Vic Owen, pro, from San Pedro, Calif,, with 32-33—65. High Wind Affects New Ball. A high wind the opening day handi- capped contenders, with the result that yesterday's twosomes averaged much lower than the group which played the 18 holes Saturday. Six teams finished with 66 while nine other twosomes tied for fourth with 67, to_include all the money winners. The tournament revealed that in a strong wind, the new “balloon” ball is hard to handle. Contenders who were present Saturday and yesterday said they were convinced the wind made proably as much as three strokes dif- ference.

John Neale Along the Water Front By Carrol Klotzbach ‘WLS! Dogs! Pigeons! Cats! Rabbits! Rats! Mice! And a Swan that swims close by. A menagerie, except for the Swan, which happens to be a boat by that name, the others being real. All at the Washington Yacht Club. And Steward Allen is in a falr way of be- coming head keeper. Here's the why and how. Of course, the rats and mice and rabbits just oc- | cur, as they always do when water and thicket join. And the owl—well, he simply materialized. Owls never are seen arriving. One has a vacant piling, a fence post, a ridge pole. Tor a long time it is unl‘lwupledf\hcn, presio! me fings an owl. o’rhe dd:g To tell of him we must go back to the hot weather. All of us were very much aware of the hot weather. It seems that the dogs of the town were also aware, and uncomfort- ably so. And the dogs went swimming in the branch. Now it’s easy to go ewimming in the branch. One—or a dog—simply jumps in. Getting out is another matter—easy enough for hu- mans, but hard for a dog. For the whole length of the branch is barri- caded by seawall, an almost unbroken stretch of stone bulkhead that rises or- | dinarily 2 or 3 feet above normal high water. "And so it is almost impossible for a dog to escape without help once he is in. The dog is one of many that Steward Allen has rescued from the river. In a week he has saved as many as three dogs from exhaustion and drowning. Once he arose at 2 o'clock in the morn- ing to answer to a hail from the water, | a long, low, hardly discernible hail from a dog in his last moments. The record stands at about 10 for the Summer. They are dried out, fed and bedded down by the old fellow until they are recovered, then are turned loose to re- turn home if the owner does not ap- pear in response to the found ad (which, by the way, Steward Allen pays for out of his own meager salary), and the rescue work goes on. But this particular stump-tailed purp refused to leave. “Wkat, leave this fel- low what's saved me, fed me and scratched my ears? Nix” said the purp. So that accounts for the dog. ND the pigeons. ‘They arrived singly. First came a carrier pigeon that elected to roost on the club sign- board across the porch and make him- self at home in the kifchen, locker room and club house in general. A week of this and he disappeared for a brief spell to return bearing on his arm (or wing, if you must have it s0), a not particularly blushing bride.

'HE Cat. None other than our old friend Barnacle, son of the lamented Felix, the Swan's last year's cat. Now this Barnacle is not what some might call an ordinary cat.

By the Associated Press, , Fla, January 5.—Joe Turnesa, Elmsford, N. Y., pro- fessional, has succeeded to the Miami open golf title, re- linquished voluntarily by Gene Sara- zen, who had held it four successive years. Turnesa won with 73—73—74— 74—204 in the tournament ending yes- y. Johnny Farrell, Mamaroneck, N. Y.; Henri Ciuci, Stratford, Conn., and Ed~ die Williams, Cleveland, tied at 295 to rank next to fihe winner. Fortune smiled badly on Farrell de- spite his brilllant play. He counted four birdies in a row during the after- noon round after coming from behind, but two putts missed their mark on other holes, and cost him the tourna- ment. Turnesa, maintaining an even, un- worried stride, came up from one stroke behind Williams, the 36-hole leader, to card his 294 just as the sun set be- hind the Everglades. Farrell, Ciuci| and Williams, playing a threesome, the last on the field, were caught in the darkness. Coming to the eighteenth hole Far- rell still had a good chance to tie the Elmsford pro. He needed a par 4 for the job. ~With the moon at his| back and murk before him so thick that they had to put a white handker- chief in the cup to mark the spot, | Farrell tried and lost. He cracked his drive into the rough, but made a dandy out. Next, he overran the cup with | a 40-foot putt and missed the hole coming back. Ciuci and Williams, ;:;dsed par 4s, while Farrel jotted down Jock Hutchison, Chicago, who had an outside chance with his 261 for 63 holes, wound up with a 208, which was suf- ficient to win him fifth money—$100.

F all the favorites who fell by the wayside in the toughest trial of skill and courage the game of duck- pins has known—the National Duckpin Bowling Congress Sweep- | stakes—none was nearly so disap- pointed as Howard Campbell. Had the King Pin captain tri- umphed, his victory would have | been accepted quite as a matter {of course, for what other bowler in the East has been so consist- |ently efficient under fire? That he finished third from last in a field of 39 remains as the great- est surpriseof an altogether sur- prising affair. It was plain that Campbell was not himself, but he of the stout heart today presented no excuse. Instead he looked eagerly to his appearance tonight in The Evening Star Yuletide tournament at the Coliseum which will give him opportunity to make up a bit for his failure Saturday. Campbell will lead his famous Ki Pins into action at 8 o'clock. They will be the featured performers on the eve- ning’s program. occupying drives 12, 14 and 15. In the stellar group besides Howard will be Glenn and Jack Wols- tenholm, prize winners last year; Clem ‘Weldman and Bernie Frye. NE of the most dangerous of to- night's sharpshooters will be Perce Wolfe of Hyattsville, who sports | high averages in’ several leagues and | several weeks ago shot-two consecutive | league sets in the 400 class. Perce is | scheduled for 9:30 on drives 18 and 19. Among the girl leaders in the 8 o’clock shift are Eva Gude, Lucille Preble, Doris Goodal, Frances Heil, Jennie Malcolm, Gladys Lowd and last, but far from | least, Bess Ackman. Mrs. Ackman is the defending champion of the women's division. The tournament will come to a close Wednesday night when a group of stars | including Jack Whalen, national sweep- | stakes champion, will shoot. Two | squads have been'left open Wednesday to take care of postppnements and late entrants. Bowlers who care to roll that night are requested to be on hand be- fore 8 o'clock. A feature of closing night will be the Ppresentation c!'—grl.us ‘won by Washing- ton bowlers in the national stakes, with Secretary George Isemann officiating. Those to be rewarded are Whalen, Bradley Mandley, second place winner, and Burt Parsons, who finished fifth. SEMANN, incidentally, and the Lucky Strike staff were coming in for much favorable comment for ,the manner in which the national tournament was conducted. If such a thing as perfec- tion is attainable in the management of a major bowling event it was achieved in this instance. It was the greatest duckpin show Washington has wit- nessed. ‘Where it will be held next year is a question, but the Capital City, which has done so much to promote the sport, will bid for it again and have a strong e entrants 1 hout e entrants came from throughout the East, and most of them were sea~ soned campaigners, so John William Wood, the Lucky Strike chieftain, might well be forgiven for a tightening about the vest induced by the comment they made cn the splendid condition of his mapleways and equipment. s e ARG L ROLLING STONE.
