'™ NOT GOING To HAVE “YOU WRECK YOUR HEALTH. MOW, NOT. A WORD : Crossing Line. By the Associated Press. ANSAS CITY, November 17. K —A two-eyed motion pic- ture camera will backstop the work of human timers at the 1932 Olympic games in Los Angeles. One eye records the movements of a stop watch and the other catches the finish of the races. An electrical attachment on the starter’s gun sets the watch in motion. In case of a dispute the film can be projected and the race reviewed, with the watch showing on the screen the time each competitor finished. Gustavus T. Kirby, New York lawyer and chairman of the Advisory Commit- tee of the I. C. A. A. A. A, who devel- oped the device, described it at the foriy-third annual convention of the Amateur Athletic Union, in session here. He obtained permission to use it from J. S. Edstrom of Stockholm, Sweden, head of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, in charge of Olympic track and field competition. The camera will be used only experi- mentally at the 1932 games, however. If it is successful, Kirby said, it will be adopted to time many major cham- plonships. A camera timer, somewhat crude then, was used at the I. C. A. A. A. A meet at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, last Spring, and will be tried again at the 1932 championships at Berkeley, Calif,, July 8 and 9, which will be a semi-final trial for the United States Olympic team.

Blick, who is | promoting the event which opens Satur- day, each entrant not only is placed on the nearest to an even footing as pos- sible with the rest of the fleld, but hel has an even chanee of getting at least his-entry fee money back without plac- ing among the 10 winners. Blick, in completing plans for the' sweepstakes, planned the prize list so| as to enable as many pinmen as possible to cash in. The highest 10 will divide the prize total, but, in addition, Blick has made |once to receive compensation by do- | | nating four $5 prizes on each of the the high game, high set, most spares and most strikes. VEN Charlie Bell calloused as he is to handling money at Convention Hall, succumbed to the lure of that stack of dough awaiting any of the 22 Winners in the handicap stakes. “Gosh, how the money is roliing in,” murmured Charlie last night as he straightened into a neat pile 25 entries and counted out $190. Say, I'm not the best bowler in town, and my average i "way below 110, but'this'll make 26 en- | tries and $208." And Charlie’s entry blank was one of that stack which went into the safe last night. Blick's idea, new to Washington, ap- pears to have struck a responsive chord all around. Two hundred bowlers are almost sure to compete and if so, a $1,000 prize total will be the result, making it one of the richest sweep- stakes in the city. Blick_announced that entries would close Thursday night at each of his three alleys, the Columbia, Arcadia and Convention' Hall. All bowlers with | averages of 110 or under are_eligible. Those with less than 119 will be given a handicap of two-thirds the difference.

League once again is & tenpin loop. ‘When the annual tenpin tournament was abolished last year, the jce-lugging boys decided to roll duckpins. It was argued that the big sticks and 16 to 20 pound balls were out of style here and that the city’s other 170 leagues rolled duckpins, and, there being no incentive |in the shape of & trip to the big pin tourney, the loop would do well to change. Until last night the icemen struggled with the comparatively baby balls and pins. Then last night Monk Fraser, at | the "Arcadia, had to resurrect the big balls. The icemen had gone tenpin- minded again. But it cost the league four teams. When duckpins were used 10 teams competed. Only six now are rolling the tenpins, k. GIVE $6,945 TO JOBLESS.

North 0142 " MADE BY STEWARD Scores Freak on 498-Yard Fifth—Charity Tourneys Are Planned. BY W. R. McCALLUM. E'VE had -birdies and \;\/ eagles and all sorts of feathered beauties on| the golf course, with an occasional buzzard thrown in for good measure. Birdies, you will recall, are holes scored in one stroke better than par. Eagles are holes two under par and buzzards (may the name and memory for- ever be erased!) are holes over par, any amount above par. But what would you call a hole played in three strokes better than par? None of the professionals around Washington seem to know just what designation this would take, for, what- ever they are called, they are rare birdies, indeed. Only once & year or so is a hole scored in_three “strokes | better than par, and by that time every one has forgotten the name of the animal. Charlie Penna, the caddie master at Congressional, calls it a “dodo,” which carries the implication that it is a dead | bird or one that comes to life only at | rare intervals. | Luther Steward, jr., the new Congres- sional Country Club’ champlon, is the focal point around which all this busi- ness of conjecture hinges, for Steward has just played the long fifth hole at Congressional in two strokes, or three better than par. And if you think that isn't some stunt, try and get on the green at that fifth hole in two strokes. The hole measures 498 yards in length, which is close enough to 500 yards to make it a real test of two shots from tee to green. Yet Steward poled out a lengthy wallop from the tee which went far down the hill toward the green and then, taking & No. 3 iron from his bag, proceeded to hole the ball for the deuce. His partner was M. Parker Nolan and his opponents were Joseph Lynch and Louis Fisher, both of Georgetown University. Some years back Fred McLeod holed & brassie shot for a deuce on the par 5 twelfth hole at Columbia, which raised some question at that time as to what the score should be called, if holes one under par are birdies and holes two un- der par are eagles. Probably “dodo” is the correct name. In any event, they are rare birds and do not come more than once in a lifetime to any golfer. Nolan himself secured an eagle 8 on the long eighth hole at Congressional yesterday, sinking a 10-foot putt. In downed a Congressional Country Club team by 12% points to 213, 'HE District Golf Association today . sent out a circular notifying all its 14 member clubs of its sponsorship of a benefit tournament on November 20 and 21 for the unemployed. ‘The District association asked the member clubs to arrange their own tournaments and to turn the money from entry fees over to the association to be given to charity organizations in Washington.

One hundred and seven women play- ers took part and all paid at least $1 in entry fees. The receipts will go to | the Central Union Mission or some other charity to distribute to those out of jobs. The prizes all were donated and consisted largely of groceries and flowers, with most of them being re- turned by the winners to go to chari- table organizations. Mrs, J.

EW YORK, November 17.—In- ternational team competition between women players of the United States and Great Britain probably will receive official sanction by the Executive Committee’ of the United States Golf Association at its meeting here Thursday. Present plans call for a bi-annual competition along the lines of the Walker Cup matches except that the women'’s teams possibly will be limited to six players. Walker Cup teams consist of eight players and two al- ternates. Glenna Collett led a team of Ameri- can women against a British squad at Formby last year in an informal test designed to prove to U. S. G. A. offi- cials that such competition would not be lacking in interest. Indications are that golf's rulers were convinced. If sanction is forthcoming the first official series probably will be played in England next Spring, with the sec- ond in the United States in 1934. ‘There is talk already of the possible make-up of the American team and the names of Miss Collett, Helen Hicks, the national champion; Virginia Van Wie of Chicago, Maureen Orcutt of Englewood, N.
