THE SUNDAY ST AR, WASHINGTO OCTOBER. 18, 1931—PART FIVE. RENDEZVOUS QUINT NOTABLE FAILURE District League Champ Now in Cellar—Blick Girls Lose | Dominance. BY FRANCIS E. STA HIS has been lateled Wash- ington's greatest bowling season—averages, —records, number of bowlers consid- ered -but it also promises to be a season of detrhoned champions Seldom, if ever, in the history of the game, have so many bowl- ing league champions of the year before nose-dived. Twenty-one bowling leagues are mot a fair percentage of (@ ~ity's bowling public, but it has been pointed out by secretaries of no less than a score And one circuits this week that this num- ber can well give a fair idea of the trouble the 1930-31 champs are ex- poriencing. Out of the 21 leagues. Whos» official scorers have exactingly noted down at the end of this week's bowling. only one team, Mount Plea: ant of the Odd Fellows' League, is top- pins the league race it fnished first in ast year. ERHAPS the biggest flop of this embryo season is the Rendezvous team in the District League, which now stands next to last with only four victories in 12 games. Weakened by the absence of Jack Whalen, United States singles and sweepstakes cham- pion, the tila holders of last year have et to get up full steam Rivaling Rendezvou to cope with this season’s contenders hes been the Lafayette toam in the Masonic League. Judd & Detweiler in the Typothetae League, Bethany in the Eastern Star Wemen's League and the John Blick girls in the Women's District League. La Fayette, despite a two-game victor Yast week in the Masonic League. no is in undisputed possession of twentieth place in that giant circuit. With St. John's and Arminius htting on all fives, the champs' prospects have not been’ partcularly bright.

Bethany has watched the Ruth girls plow through all opposi- tion thus far, rolling 15 games with- out a loss ] The John Blick girls walked in with the championship in the Women's Dis- trict League last scason. but cespite their recent sweep over the weak Rec- reation club they tied with four | teams for sixth place now | Nor are these in the boat alone. | They have plenty of company. albeit these are not so deeply submerged.

NE more big event for women; a few more club championships and a major ' open champion- | ship, and the competitive golf | season around the National Capi- tal will be ready to be packeu‘ away in moth balls until Spring | brizss another new standard goltl ball and renewed hopes for 1ower! scores to the hearts of the duffers | who have consistently bewailed the bigger and lighter sphere. Only two big events remain on the late Fall program around Washington, but one of these— | the National Capital open at the | Kenwood Golf and Country Club | ‘ear]y next month—should wind up the season in fitting style with |a display of big-time golf such as has not been seen around Wash- ington since 1921, when the na- tional open was held at Columbia. | MARTY GALLAGHER. PURELY lacal scrap will close the Foit Washington boxing season tsmorrow night when “Reds” Bariy meets Marty Gallagier in the windup of & 30-round card While the rest of the ‘city is content to sit back and watch tie outcome of this batt'e, boxing fans in South'ast and Foggy Bottom sections are waxing enthusiastic over the match which is billed as for the heavyweight champion- ship of the District of Columbia. After the final workout Friday after- | ncon at Frankie Mann's gymnasium. Gallagher tipped the beam at 199 pounds, the lightest he has been in more than a year. The Foggy Bottom Irishman, realiz- irg he has everything to lose and noth- Ing to gain against Barry, is taking 1o chances in having the youth catching nim off form. Marty never has burned up any leagus in the boxing racket since he was piucked out by Dan Carroll as a likely candidate for the heavyweight title, but his experience which he gained against such stars as Charley Retzlaff, Dick Danlels, Jack Dorval and Pin Portraits Paul and Joe Harrison ! MERRY battle for hondrs is promised in this bowling sea- son between Joe and Paul Hal rison, brothers and two of Washing- ton's’ top-notch pinmen. Already both have shown midseason form, Joe having his innings earlier in the season when he rolled a 409 set to aid the National Pale Drys to hang up a 1,956 team score. A few days later he followed this up with an- other big set, an even 400. Paul, the taller and younger of the two, last week smashed out a 441 set in the Columbia Heights to estab- lish a season record for that circuit. Paul is co-holder of the national doubles title with Eddie Espey, the second time he has won in that event, and Is assistant manager of the Arcadia. ‘Wren Joe contributed that 409 to the Pale Drys' big count, it marked the second time he has furnished the big shot in & record-smashing set. Last year he rolled 432 for Temple, when that crew hung up a Central-South Atlantic set of 1.891. Joe also holds the distinction of h: ing bowled the highest set e shot in the Howard Campbell Sweep- stakes, 665. TRAPSHOOTING TITLE GOES TO D. A. UPSON Breaks 91 of 100 Targets in High Cross Winds to Again Win Wash- ington Gun Club Honors. Breaking 91 of the 100 targets shot at in high cross winds, Dennis A. Upson yesterday repeated his triumph of 1929 when he won the 1931 clay target championship of the Washington Gun Club, staged on the local traps. Second high scores in the. 100 targets were turned in by Dr. W. B. Reeves and | C. C. Fawsett, each of whom had 88. rophies in the contest were awarded by the Lewis Class System. ‘There will be no regular shoot next Saturday as the members of the local shoot club will go to Baltimore for the cond of the interclub series between the Washington and Oriole teams. ‘Total scores of the championship follow: Dennis A.

Many are of the opinion that Marty will huit Barry as he never before has been hurt. In workouts Marty has been pile driving right hands all week into the bag and at Billy Schwartz, his spar- ring partner. Although Barry Is fast, it is in close that Marty will be expected to do his damage. Realizing that Barry cannot hurt him Marty wiil most likely step in Sailor McKenna and Bobby Burns the latter from Baltimore, wil go in the semi-windup for eight rounds. Burns recntly fought Charley Gomer, up-and-coming Baltimore lightweight. to a draw, while McKenna is undefeated at the for this season. His last ictory was scored by gaining a technical K. O. over. Mickey Morley, all-Navy light- weight champion.
