P4 ¥ B SRAP IS FF UNTIL TOMORRON Metropolitan Title Matches Split Between D. C. and Arlington Courts.

Do Detroit, 11 to 5, Phila- delphia clinched the * American League pennant for the second straight season. George McBride, Washington shortstop, went into the stands yes- terday after a fan who was hurl- ing abusive language at him. Skip Wymard, tackle, has joined the Georgetown University grid squad, measurably strengthening the Bue and Gray. Greer and Cun- niff are fighting it out for the center job on the G. U. eleven. Tech High will open its grid season against the Maryland®Aggies. Louis I. Doyle defeated Albert *J.

Here will be brought | to what promises to be a brilliant finish one of the largest tournaments in the history of an ancient sport. The semi- finals will get under way at Arlington at 7 o'tlock. 'HOT through with personal end ter- ritorial rivalries, the big play-off should assume the main character- istic of a string of agitated fire-crackers. Every match will pack some sort of kick, regardless cf the brand of pitch- | ing, but this likely will be high. It's an all-star card and the ringer expert who emerges on top probably will have put more than 50 per cent of his shoes on the stake. Some have pitched as| high as 70 per cent ringers in meh‘n-; poktan preliminaries, but only for a| £Ahe or €0. Crapgwn Sadiders 1s sk anrivaled savorite, whicli~bodes ill for him in #rw i what has gone before.

Dead Pan Jim isn't Lkely to be awed or even annoyed by the prestige of Saunders the Great. The forkhanderis one of those silent, keenly concentrative fighters and at his best in stiff going. IOME of the Arlington County folk are hopeful that young Chic Darr of Ballston and Clayton Henson of Arlington, whom Darr dethroned as Northern Virginia champion, will meet again. Their battle in the State final was a sensation and gave birth to some snappy partisanship. Some maintain that Henson's carelessness cost him his title. Others point to the fact that the 15-year-old Darr had the stuff to keep trying when he appeared hopelessly beaten and that he came through in the end as a true champion should. The odds _are against their meeting tomorrow. Henson is in the upper half of the draw and Darr is in the lower, and they could come together only in the final. With Saunders, or the champ’s conqueror to get past, Darr’s chance is slim indeed to reach the final. Henson’s is much better, but his path is strewn with formidable obstacles.

ELIX TILGHMAN of North Brentwood won the Southern Maryland champlonship in the colored section of The Star's metropolitan horseshoe tournament yesterday when he defeated Peter Har- ris in the final, 31—52, 50—23 and 52—46, before a capacity gallery on the courts of Rev. James Davis, State chairman, at Rockville. The 1930 champion, Pranklin Marshall, was un- able to defend the title. unable to match, his tantalizing ble-ringers establishing a first pitch that kept Tilghman cons! on the defense. Tilghman found his stride in the second encounter with a one-peg monopoly that earned an encouraging victory. The deciding fray was a heart- breaker. Harris was brilliant from the start and entertained the gallery with double-headers as Tilghman faltered badly. Noted for his ability to advance from the rear, the North Brentwood champion, trailing with the count, 35—15, started a rally with a pair of double-ringers that carried him to a 1-point lead. Here Harris braced and matched ringer for ringer with the Prince Georges County ace. With the score standing at 46-all, Harris missed and Tilghman tossed & double-decker for a 52—46 triumph.

These game fish stay in Chesapeake Bay and the Poto- mac River all the year round and put up a mighty good fight when hooked. October and November are also the best months for bass fishing. First of all, the fishermen need have but little fear of muddy water, the chief enemy to this particular line of Yl.wlwrhl endeavor. Second, the bass, like other fishes, are more active when the water | cools and consequently put up a much harder fight. It is at this time that { the “big fellers” come from their deep holes, where they have been lying dur- ing the hot Summer months. Yes, it can be truly said that the real fishing season has just started. s A THIRD species of bass, the com- paratively new Kentucky black | , is now bidding for a place in the sun, says the Isaak Walton League.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER: Seth Gordon, president of the Game Association, deplored the fact that “in the President’s message has broadcast over the land a false hope undoubtedly still further hamper the efforts of conservationists toward get- ting down to fundamental causes and cures.” He declared that the drought on the most important waterfowl breeding grounds of the continent is largely man-made. The drainage ditch and the plow have destroyed much of the marshlands of this Nation and Canada, and by lowering underground water levels have snapped away the value of more. “The duck issue is bound up in the larger issue facing the country of con- serving and restoring sufficient natural water reservoirs to prevent the present alternating extremes of drought and flood,” Gordon said. R. M. D'ARCY MAGEE, president of the Washington, D. C., chapter of the I W. L. A, has returned in the wilds of Canada.

HOST of supporters are pul- ling for Earl McPhilomy to make a success of his come- back attempt this season and thus far it looks as though the former District duckpin ace is on the road to the top again. Starting off the season Monday in the Typothetae League, Earl, de- spite the heat, rolled a 160 game and 373 set. Last Friday in the District League Earl, rolling with the Lucky Strike team, shot consistent strings to total 381. A few years ago McPhilomy was rated one of Washington's best bowlers. Then a serious iliness and averaged over 116 in the Ty- pothetae League. Now he's once more in the “big time” and Lucky Strike fans, sure that Earl will win bowling laurels anew, think that the combine of McPhilomy, Camp- bell, Weidman, Clarke and Daly will bring home the District League FLASH FINIH WS FOR BURNING BLAZE Drops His Nose in Front to Beat Hygro, Favorite, at Havre de Grace.

Harlow, man- ager of the Tournament Bureau of the Professional Golfers’ Association.

BY FRANCIS E. STAN. STOR CLARKE, who won the classic Campbell Sweep- stakes and averaged 121 in a minor duckpin loop last year, is in a position many bowlers consider unenviable. Clarke has wbeen signed to roll with the crack Lucky Strike team in the District League, replacing Bernie Frye, who has moved to Akron, Ohio. Clarke, long overdue, “arrived” last Winter. He was practically unkaswn when he won the Howard Campbell stakes. But there are those who, with his triumph in Washington's blue rib- bon pin event and his 121 average in mind, cannot appreciate the task the Virginia maple-smasher, who is sup- lanting a bowler who never won a g-mpbell eepstakes and who never averaged 121, has before him. Clarke opens the duckpin season roll- ing in the place of a bowler who, over a fair period of years, proved himself one of the best team bowlers in the city—a bowler whose average at the start and end of the season always was around 116 or 117. The Lucky Strike team probably has the largest following of any team in the District League. Its followers have depended on Frye to deliver his 350 or thereabout set every week. Now Clarke, legs consistent possibly, but more bril- liant, is expected to deliver weekly just as Frye did. recent appearance of Billy Burke, the national open golf champion, at Indian Spring, brought to this writer's mind the spec- tacle of Frye on a bowling drive. Burke looks like a dub beside the colorful Von Elm, the sensational Jones and other contemporaries. Frye used to take three hesitant steps, give the Lm-: pression of trying to fall on his left | ear, then release the ball. | He suffered by comparison with his | teammates. the colorful Glen Wolsten- holme, Glenn's spare-specialist brother Jack, the smooth-working Clem Weid- man’ and_the phlegmatic, machinelike Howard Campbell. Yet Bernie’s score at the end of the game usually played a prominent part | in a victory for Lucky Strike. LARKE, with the Campbell Sweep- | stakes crown on his brow and a | 121 average inythe Washington | Gas Light League to maintain, in the | expectations of many on the District League’s tough circuit of alleys has a big pair of shoes td fill. But an unknown, who, before the final set of an event like the Campbell 'Stakes, defled superstition by telling a | flock of star bowlers that his name was at the top and that it would remain a record doing it—can roll for n lot of folks’ cash. most notable additions this week will be ington Women'’s and Dis- trict Women's Leagues, which will open Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. A score or more of other circuits also will swing into aetion, bringing virtually ?flldol the District’s pin loops into the old. The Dstrict Women's League race with 12 teams instead of the usual 10, promises to be a hot one. The John Blicks, champions for the last two years, face & real task if they mean to re- peat. The loss of Elsle Fischer, who will roll with the Columbia team, deprives the Blicks of one of their best bowlers. Her place will be taken by Mabel Kel- logg. ‘The Rendezvous, King Pin, George- town Recreation, Columbia and Deal’s Service teams appear-to be the club's along with Blicks, which will be in the pennant fight. Rendezvous, runner-up last year, will be intact except for the addition of Lucille Preble, who is ex- lD‘:aud to help Tad Howard's girls no e. King Pin has a strong team, led by Lorraine Gulli. Marie Frere. Billie Butler, Loretto Leaman and Helen Sul- livan round out the five. Georgetown Recreation, last year the Boulevard team, has Bess Ackman, Reva Banks, Gladys Lowd, Frances Heil and Jennie Malcolm rolling. Cclumbia, another new team, have Helena Kohler, Elsie Fischer, Doris Goodall, Pauline Ford and Helena Myers, while Deal’s, & _newcomer, will include such bowlers as Rena Levy, Catherine Quigley, Irene Mischou, Evelyn Ream and Anne Ford. Takoma Park, Terminal Ice, Conven- tion Hall, Lucky Strike, Meyer Davis and the Bill Woods have a ficck of new girls rolling with them, but they are not figured strong enough to prove serious threats. 'OR the first time in years, Wash- ington Women's League will roll on a set of alleys other than thcee at the Coliseum, which was torn down last Spring. This season the circuit will hold forth at the Columbia. Eight teams aga2in will compete, in- cluding the champion Beceques, Colum- blans, Hilltoppers, Shamrocks, Veterans' Bureau, University Park, Cardinals and Kencs. The latter is a new team. ‘The first week's schedules follow: District Women's League. King Pin vs. Takoma Park at Lucky Strike. Rendezvous vs. Lucky Strike at Rendezvous.

Christner went to the canvas twice from right-hand punches dealt out by | him. Many are beginni Reds will go about his task. If he decides to box, he will be outclassed entirely, for Frankie outboxed Joe Sekyra, whom many thought beat Tommy Loughran last week in New York. ‘Wine holds decisions over Al Fay, Pietro Corri, Al Friedman, Chuck Wig- gins and Emmet Rocco. He flattened Ad Warren in three rounds. His best | blows are a straight left jab and a terrific right cross.

Monday in a National Capital League match caused quite a stir ahd not a littls consternation among the ranks of Lucky Strike's op- ponents, for it was generally belleved that Frye was in Akron, Ohio, where he_had accepted a position. 1t developed, however, that Bernie just dropped in Washington for a week’s vacation and Howard Campbell granted him permission to roll once again with the Lucky Strikes. Dave_ Cox, secretary of thé Recre- ation League, writes that the loop opened with a bang. It was a béck- fire for the champion Rex team, bw; ever. Rex engaged Terminal Mark a new team, and took a two-game trimming. ] UTH bowlers are topping the East- ern Star League with six straight wins, and according to Maude Youmans, secretary of the league, due mainly to the efforts of Lucy Owen.
