SPORTS.! THE EVENING STAR, Evening Star Tournament Is : y Conducted With Duffers Interests Uppermost. RONSON QUAITES, astute| as bowling leaders come, | goes to bat for the girl stars—and strikes out! Managers of the fourth annual Yuletide singles tournament spon- sored by The Star, to open De- cember 21, at the Lucky Strike. today ruled against Miss Quaites on a plea that five instead of| three games be the test for the fair rollers Three games are not enough to pre- sent a real test’ said Miss Quaites who amplified: “One is hardly ‘warmed up' before a three-game set is fin- ished HEREUPON the tournament man- agers went into a huddle. They emerged with the general opinjon that Miss Quaites was quite right— three games wouldn't .determine the capability of any duckpin shooter. But they also reasoned that the longer the stretch the better the chance of the expert to win and this gets away from the spirit of the tournament The Yuletide event essentially is a dubs’ affair. It is the only tournament held here each year in which the mediocre are given opportunity to com- pete without risking a financial loss. The freight for dub and ster alike is paid by The Star. There is no entry fee. And sside from this, the big appeal of the Yuletide pin party is that the mediocre bowler does have a chance | to win because the test is a short | one. Clarence Taft won the men's | championship of the first tournament in 1928 in a field that included prob- | ably a hundred bowlers who would have swamped him in a stretch of 20 or more games. The same might be said of Tony De Fino, who won two years ago. Clem Weidman, an ace vas having a poor season last year bu. “got hot” for a single night and won first money. HE men will shoot five games, as usual, in the Yuletide singles, and Miss Quaites’ argument would hold good in this, too. The route is too short for a true test of ability. In| most leagues & bowler must shoot about | two-thirds of the schedule to qualify for championship honors. | There's another point against Miss | Quaites, who, by the way, was sup-| ported almost unanimously by the | members of the crack Washington League. Five games in a row is just about two too many for a large per- centage of the girls not used to long sessions on the mapleways As matters stand the experts have the advantage, as they would have if were only one game to be rolled e the duffer is getting an oppor- unity to share $500 in prize money and a crack at a gold medal with noth- ing lost if he fails.

But couldn’t he, too, have an All- American o All-Washington, for in- stance, team? Maybe he, too, would be surprised at some of the names that might be on some of All-American bowling teams. 'Most every bowling follower can name, before the various rankings are published, just who stands a good chance of being ranked. But in making the rankings the com- | mittees take into consideration not only | & bowler’s league average, but his per- formances in big individual tournaments | and sweepstakes, Couldn't there be any number of bowlers who were not ranked who would be mentioned on an All-American or All-Washington team?

There’ Mag Wood, Thurston Furr, Bernie Prye, Joe Harrison and a score of others. Al was only one of the bowling “lines- men” who bore much of the brunt of the league grind, but who was passed up because a “back,” on a scintillating “run,” stepped out to walk off with a big-money event and a firm grip on a ranking. AD HOWARD took a night off from his duties at his Rendezvous pin | emporium to watch his District League girls' team battle Georgetown Recreation over at Georgetown. What he saw was a repetition of what the Recreationers did to his championship- headed club last year. Georgetown last night sprang an upset by winning two games from the leaders “This team,” averred Tad, “is the same club that took the championship from my girls last year. But even after tonight T'll bet they won't do it again There are 12 teams in the league now and we don't have to roll them as| often.” Tad had a just “kick.” Georgetown, last year the Boulevard quint, was poison to the Rondy girls last season.
