THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, 1931 D2 Men and Wome=a Bowlers Are Set for Big Duc TOURNEY CAMPAIGN STARTS TOMORROW 40 to Rol-ia Meyer Davis“ Classic—Blick Event Has ~ | Field of 200. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. PPROXIMATELY 40 of A Washington’s girl bowling stars and 200 men, with averages of 110 and under, tomorrow will compose the fields | ofpthe Meyer Davis Girl Sweep- | stakes and the Greater Washing- | ton Handicap Sweepstakes, as| these two classics open at the| Lucky Strike and Columbia alleys, respectively. two events, one staged by J. william Wood and the other by John S. Blick, bowling magnates, officially will open the 1931-32 tournament sea- son. Two other attractive offerings, the final block of the Northeast Temple Ali-Star-Qriginal Junior match and the first block of the match between Henry Hiser and Hokie Smith, will round out tomorrow’s program, the most exten- | sive so far of the season. WHAT probably will be paramount | in point of interest is the girl | bow] classic, the Meyer Davis Sweepstakes, which to girl pinspillers is what the Howard Campbell Sweep- stakes is to men stars. A select event, the Davis 'Stakes never draws more than 40 entrants, but this number represents the best of the Capital's girl bowling aces. As usual, Lorraine Gulli, for three years ranked No. 1 in the United States, will reign the favorite, but is by no means & certainty to finish at the top or even in the money. Mar- | jorie Smith is the defending Davis ‘champion, having won the 'stakes last year with the record-breaking total of | 1,07¢ for the nine games. | ‘The field tomorrow will roll the first block of three es at the Lucky Strike, starting at 8 o'clock. The sec- ond block will be shot at the King Pin THI Greater Washington Handicap 4 "will be the first{open handieap sweepstakes ever staged here. ‘The entry list zoomed to over 100 to- day and John Blick's three aides, Ralph Fraser, Charlie Bell and Lonnie Krauss, declared 200 will have entered by Sat- urday. One of the richest bowling stakes of the season, this event will open at 2:30 and 8 o'clock tomorrow at the Co- lumbia. TW“TY-QNI pins behind, the orig- inal Washington Juniors, unde- feated, will attempt to overcome the Northeast Temple All-Stars when the teams clash at 8:30 o'clock at the Arcadia in the second block of a 10- game match. In the Junior line-up will be Jack Wolstenholme, Hokie Smith, Paul Harrison, Eddie Espey and Johnny Anderson. Ear] ‘Megaw, Ollie 1 McPhilomy, Red Pacini, Brad Mandley and Ed Blakeney will roll for Temple. The fourth &Wn of the evening, the Hiser-Smith ‘match. will start at 7:30 o'clock at King Pin, thus giving fans an opportunity to see this first and one of the other events later. Smith, a youngster, is the leading bowler in the District League, while Hiser won the No. 1 Washington ranking last year. 'OMORROW really opens the part of the local bowling season where shington 'Stakes will come the Dixie Sweepstakes, The Evening Star Tournament, the Howard Camp- bell Sweepstakes, 1 Wood's Dub Sweepstakes, the Greater Washington Handicap Sweepstakes for girls, the Potomac Sweepstakes, the Maryland- Virginia Sweepstakes and the Washing- ten City Duckpin Association Tourna- ments for men and girls, | Future national events sre the Na- | tional Sweepstakes end the National | ‘Tournament, both of which will draw heavily from the District.

Jacob Ruppert, are busy brushing up their lines for another battle of the fountain pens. At St. Petersburg in 1930, the doughty owner of the Yankees finally cornered his prize bludgeoner and virtually forced him to sign a contract for two years at 80,000 per. Now it’s time for another one. The famous St. Petersburg document - has run its course, and the colonel and the Babe have started light training for the forthcoming fray. Each is reported to have dispatched most trustworthy scouts to snoop around the rival camp and find out what, if anything, is on the other’s mind. Yankee headquarters today sent out what amounted to the opening jab at the world's highest salaried athlete, who is occupied right now with a series of movie shorts in Hollywood. STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE By WALTER R. McCALLUM. WENTY years of existence on its | present site finds the golf course | of the Columbia Country Club— constructed back in 1911—a lay- out far different from that which the club members began using when the golf course was moved from the original location of the club near Georgla ave- nue in Brightwood. Not only is the entire course different from that of 1911, but it has changed in several | respects in the past decade, or since the national open champlonship was held at Columbia 10 years ago—the | only major men's champlonship ever | to be held below the Mason and Dh(on; Line. | When the course originally was laid | out the second green was short of the | ditch which now catches second shots. The third green lay in a pocket in the woods,” the fourth hole was a two- shotter of drive and pitch length, the fifth was a drive and pitch hole. So was the sixth and the seventh and ninth were far easier than they now are. ACK in 1916 and 1917 Columbia was getting ready for a bid for one of the major title tourneys when Dr. Waltét S. Harban, then chair- man of the Greens Committee, was one of the vice presidents of the United States Golf Association. The second reen was moved across the ditch, the ourth hole was made into a one-shot- ter. the fifth was changed in 1919 to a big three-shotter and changes pre- pared the layout for the big show of 1921, when Jim Barnes spread-eagled | the field to win the national open title. But golf courses do not stay the way they are erl&mllly laid out. The in- creased length'of the golf ball and the growth in the number of fine Fllyen make changes necessary, and Columbia, always a leader in the movement to keep its golf course modern, found even the championship course of 1921 fairly easy for the long hitters. Changes which have been made since 1921 in- clude a new green at the first hole, a new green at the third, a new green at the sixth, a new green and lengthening of the hole at the ninth, a new green at the tenth, and new greens at the four- teenth and sixteenth. With these has gone a new green at the eighteenth, which leveled out the mounds and bumps of other years on the g green, 'O the casual eye Columbia might seem today the same course over which the national golf stars of 1921 tried to catch Jim Barnes from the time he scored an o‘p‘enmc 69 in the championship, but it far different, and it will be even more different when the contemplated changes are made. The sixth and ninth holes now have temporary greens in use, while the new putting surfaces are being covered with grass. But further changes are contem- lated at the fifteenth and seventeenth oles, where both these greens are scheduled for reconstruction. A year or two hence Columbia will be a far dif- ferent layout from the national cham- plonship course of 1921. New greens at the sixth, ninth and tenth have been built within the past year, and at least :v‘;o more greens are in for reconstruc- n. The course as it stands today is one of the toughest layouts from Jle back tees of any golf course in this section of the land. Next year, in all prol ability, Columbia will stage the plonship tourney of the Middle Atlantie Golf Association, and the sectional qual~ ification rounds for the amateur cham- plonship. The Mid-Atlantic event has not been held at Columbia since 1919, and the District Golf Assoclation al- ready has petitioned the U. 8. G. A. for the sectional qualification rounds for 1932, with Columbia as the scene of the 36-hole test. OLUMBIA today began its partici- pation in the unemployment tour- nament with an event for women. Tomorrow and Sunday tourneys will be held at the club under the direction of the Golf Committee. A notice posted in the clubhouse today reads as follows: “In the year of the recovery, 1931. “By order of the U. 8. G. A. and at the request of the Maryland Golf sociation all golfers of the Columbi Country Club will co-operate in the following manner. adies, each round, $1. entlemen, each round, $2. “The proceeds of this stupendous event will be given to local relief or to the charitable organization receiving the most votes, provided this agrees with the views of President Asher.

Then, if it doesn't suit him, there will be plenty of time for conferences.” As the Bambino never has been known, over a long span of years, to like any contract that was popped at him through the malls, it is a .fore- gone conclusion there will be some hl{h-powered conferences. n view of the Babe’s advancin years, it is felt certain the owner of the Yankees either will try to hold his star to a one-year contract or take a slice off his present sal- th. other hand, Ruth refuses to reccgnize this rumor that he's gettini old.

ARGE-MOUTH BASS are being landed in good numbers on both sides of the FPotomac below Washington. For a time the bass in Gunston Cove stopped biting, but now these gamesters again are at- tacking all lures. On the Maryland side of the river Piscataway Creek is drawing the most anglers. The creek is dotted almost daily with fishing boats. Of course, all ate not successful, but some of the anglers have hooked what we consider more than their share. And some of the fish kept have been just abeut the legal size and not even a half inch over. Two of these anglers must have had 30 or 35 of the little fellows, and to me it seemed like “baby snatching.” I'm hard-boiled when it comes to the catching of fish, but I must say I felt sorry for the little “fellers” flopping on the wharf as they were released frem the longe string_and placed in containers to brought home. IN Maryland it is unlawful to keep any black bass of less than 10 inches. I may be a poor judge of dis- tance or measurements, but I'm dead certain that some of the bass I saw did not come up to requirements. How- ever, they were all evidently highly prized by their captors and retained. My fishing companion, like myself, did not ecatch a fish. Naturally we looked with envidus eyes at the strings dis- played on the wharf. My companion asked the angler with the largest string to sell him a couple of the bass. The request was refused point blank, with the statement that the majority of them were promised. Piscataway is full of bass, it seems, but a large majority are just about legal size, or a little over 10 inches in length. Rod and Stream would like to see the anglers keep only the large bass and return to the water those measuring 10 or 11 inches. Give the little fellows a chance to grow at least another year and you will be surprised at the difference in the pull on your line when he takes your bait. Take what you need for your own consump- tion and leave the others for another day.

For Two Hours to Mat Draw ERY likely any number of sport folk failed to punch the old time clocks on the minute this morning and spent most of the morning snoozing on the job, but if their “bosses” witnessed, as they did, the great two-hour mat battle between Ray Steele and Rudy Dusek last night and this morning at the Washington Auditorium, they were pretty sure to get off lightly. Maybe a lot of “bosses,” too, didn’t hear the alarm clocks. Anyway, some 5500 wrestling fans still were atingle today with the thrills they receivéd when Dusek and Steele, two of the leading heavyweight wres- tlers of the country, grappled to a two- hour draw that ended at 12:25 this ou extreme, abandoned al and ga tion, some of the best wrestling seen in_this neck of the woods. ‘whistle, both men From the start! put forth all they had. It was evident that a long match was forthcoming, but few expected either to stay a two- hour limit. Dusek was & slight under- dog before the match, but so much did he punish Steele that many thought that Rudy would have rated a decision had the match been judged on that basis. Steele, for the first time here, aban- doned much of his defensive tactics, but his extreme roughness brought jeers from the crowd. Fach appeared to have victory at stages, but on each octasion the opponent reached the ro in time to cause the hold to be automatically broken. The climax came after an hour and 40 minutes of grappling, when Dusek suddenly applied a sertes of body El':mll' and lnl.llrnhna !Dlnfi that had ele genu! vnngy. ut Ray, at this pc&t, managed to get zhroull the Topes and take & nine-count to recover.
