sSPORTS. National PLANS T0 BOLSTER TS WEAK OUTFITS Cincinnati Is Likely to Get Some Aid—Circuit Lines Up Its Managers. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EFORE the celebration over B the winning of the world series has fairly died away, the National League has to work out plans to begun strengthen its circuit for 1932, in oraer to restore the resources of the second-division teams for the next base ball year. It is the wish of the league to estab- | lish a balance of play as nearly like that of 1930 as possible. was a ding-dong affair down to the close of the season. On his way home after the last world series game had been played, President Heydler of the National League stopped over in Cincinnati for a chat with Sid- ney Well, owner of that club. The Cin- cinnati outfit gave the league some con- cern this season, not for financial rea- sons, but on account of the fact that the team began the season a pro- nounced tail-ender and never was able to be anything else. Manager Dan Howley had a much better nine at the finish of the season than he had at the start, but from the standpoint of being a contender, even in the second division, Cincinnati was a negative quantity. Ready to Make Trades. Teams in the National Leggue will| be perfectly willing to make some trades with Cincinnati, but, as usually is the case when a fairly good team deals with another in the same league that has made a bad finish, the good clu want the best of the losing team or nothing Cincinnati expects to have Heath in condition to play first base next year. A very promising young player, he was lost to the Reds all year because of an injury. Hendricks was finally obtained by trade and helped the Reds wonder- fully. next year as a utility man. The National League managers who are established for the coming season | are Gabby Street at Stl Louis. Rogers Hornsby at_Chicago, Dan Howley at Cincinnati, Burt Shotton at Philadel- phia, John J. McGraw at New York and Bill McKechnie at Boston. This leaves two teams without a present directing head—Pittsburgh and Brooklyn. Barney Dreyfuss of Pitts- burgh will shortly announce his man- ager.

ST. LOUIS, October 15 (#).—Georre Sisler, one of base ball's great stars dur- ing his years as first baseman for the | St. Louis Browns, is back in St. Louls with an unconditional release from the | Rochester club of the International | League and no plans at present for the | future. Sisler, who said he would remain here through the Winter, said, “Ihad an un- derstanding at Rochester that if I wanted my release I could have it, and when I decided that I didn’t want to | play there again next year I was re- | leased.” 'PRINTERS’ GOLF PLAY ' HONORS GO TO BAILEY Sets Pace in Class A With Net 79.

Morgan_weighed 1381, pounds and Santos 137%. By WALTER AM RICE, ball hawk of the Na- tionals, today is bewailing the fate that overcomes & fine golfer at some time in his career. “What would you think of playing the first nine holes at Indian Spring in 36 strokes,” says Sam, “and being 2 down?" ‘That is exactly what Rice did, for Larry Otell put on such a hot streak against the southpaw that even though S8am was was licked by Otgll by 4 and 3, in the club champlonship. Here are the pairings for the second round in first flight of the Indian Spring title chase: J. W. Harvey, jr., vs. Tom M, Belshe, with the winner to play Otell; George C. Gist va. winner of C. W. Cole vs. Fred Walen match, and Leo F. Pass vs. Leroy W. Sasscer. Second round matches have been completed in most of the other flights The delay in the first flight is caused by the team matches of the Maryland State Golf Assoclation, in which most of the first flight golfers are playing.

CLIFF McKIMMIE, the smooth- « swinging gent who won the Mid- | _dle Atlantic amateur champion- <hip back in 1924 at Richmond, today | holds the match play champlonship of the Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers’ Association. g McKimmie, who is like Billy Burke in that two fingers are missing from one of his hands, beat Bob Barnett, the de- | fending title holder, by 6 and 5 yester- day in the final round of the tourney | 3t Woodmont Country Club. He out- played Barnett all through the final and | never was down after the second hole |of the opening round. McKimmie, who is attached to the White Flint Country Club as the ciub professicnal, was 1 up on Barneit at the noontime interval, and played stesdily in the afternoon. He ended the match with a sensational streak of sub-par golf, securing birdies on the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth holes and playing the next two holes in par to win by 6 and 5. The golf in the final was not par- ticularly gcod. as both players barely broke 80 on the first round and wege not much better in the afternoon. Mc- Kimmie's victory is his first important win since he turned professional golfer. LARK C. GRIFFITH, president of the Washington base ball club, and P. S.

L Chips From the Mapleways By Francis E. Stan: IX months of campaigning in this | bowling season are facing Lor- raine Gulli and every other league bowler, but America’s queen of the mapleways can toss off a few laughs now if she cares to. To any one who asked Miss Gulli what she figured her average this sea- son would be, Lorraine replied 110. So the local bowling gentry, calloused to Gulli averages, records and general per- | formances, settled back to watch—just | a wee bit skeptical. | Three weeks of the Woman's Dis- trict League schedule went by the boards and then Official Scorer Jim Baker announced the other day that Miss_Gulli of 115. “Wait.” was heard along the bowling | front, “until the King Pin team gets | off the Lucky Strike alleys and rolls on_some of those Lorraine is not used | to.” It has been no secret that a big percentage of the sensational scores rolled this season were bowled at the | Lucky Strike. And the King Pin team | had shot al! of its games on the Bill | Wood-managed drives.* was carrying an average | HEN last night, for the first time, the King Pin girls were forced to go on the “road.” They invaded Georgetown Recreation.

Her final effort of 136 was the big shot in the King Pin's team game of 587, highest this season for a girls’ quint. | “They'll have to nail down those pins | if Lorraine Gulli is*gonna be stopped this season,” was a remark coming from a bystander at Georgetown last | night. | p— | However, not even Miss Gulli's sen- | sational set last night could bring the | King Pins & victory, for the George- | — a restful cigar for the tired S i { | | | YIS 82!

George Simmo Fusguenues-oun town girls, rolling consistently, won two from the team favored to win the District League flag. Reva Banks' strike on a spare, fol- lowed by an 8-pin count, in the last two boxes, gave the West Enders the first game by 10 sticks, while the 540 game of the Georgetown girls also was too much for the King Pins. In the last game, however, the latter won by 101 maples. UT while Lorraine Gulli was burn~ | ing up Ed Schlegel's drives at Georgetown, another girl star, Betty Hoffman, was rising to challenge Lorraine’s supremacy for the evening at the Arcadia. Mrs. Hoffman, with games of 125, 120 and 127, smashed out a 372 set to aid the John Blick girls to sweep over Recreation in an- other Women’s District League match. Just a bit of duckpin “tragedy” and | then more of high scores. Tom Moore, rolling for the Navy Yard team in the Amos and Andy League at the Lucky Strike, felled only two pins the last box of a match last night. | His team dropped the game by a single stick.
