BY FRANCIS E. STAN. SSENTIALLY an event which | affords, because of its brev- ity, even the veriest duffer a chance to sparkle for a night and “put the bee” on the game's foremost experts, The Star's fourth annual Yuletide | singles tournament, which will be resumed tonight at the Lucky Strike, nevertheless has produced in its first three days of lite at least five heretofore unknown bowlers who may be heard irom later. Four of the five are running at least second best as far as high scores go and the fifth, Margaret Brunclle. may end may not remain high, but they have, neverthel:ss, displayed enough potentialities to warrant a bit of future attention. Granting that tney got the “breaks.” on which others with possible equa! promise also would have capitalized Margaret Brunelle, Carolyn Hiser and Evelyn Ellis, and Alwin Woods and Al Gleason thus far have been the “finds’ of The Star's tourney HE three girls, particularly Margaret Brunelle and Carolyn Hiser, have been not totally unheard of this | season, but it was not until last Wed- nesday, when the former rolled 355 to take the lead among the girls, and the latter 335 to assume second piac?, that the average duckpin follower became hat these girls are due te soon. Evelyn Ellis. an un- known, rolled what is regarded as only a fair set—303—but this was in the face of many tough breaks. Her de- livery. according to Howard Campbell. whose own is regarded by many as the most_perfect of any bowler, is one of the best possessed by any girl pinner. Al Gle2son of the Southern Railway Clerks League rolled 639 on the opening night to surprisz. He and Alwin Woods. who rolled 621, probzbly have been the biggest surprises of the tourney. Woods a youngster just out of his teens, has been carrying a 111 average in the B. Y. P. U. Leagu> and th:t is better than many & pinmen in the faster loops has. But Woods' prowess. he shot his 621, was not generall known until he smacked out his power- ful set. Alwin displayed remarkable ccolness for a youngster shooting in his first tournament. His wes a well-carned score, Only once did he strike, but so keen was his eye that his second shot invariably. was good for a spare when the breaks came. You will find, since 'way back in the infancy of duckpins, until last vear, when an unknown nimed Astor Clarke +d Campbell Swaepstakes, every indiviGual tourna- boen productive of a st it generslly isn't in a s fist, or even second, tourna- that he gains recognition. OW that Santa Claus has come and gone many of Washington's duck- pin_colony will revert their atten- tion to The Star's tourney tonight. An- er small army of shooters will in- vade the Lucky Strike tonight to give all they've got in hopes that some part of the $500 in cash given by The Star will be gained. Among the field which will roll to- night at 7:30 o'clock will be Bess Ack- man, for two years the girl champion Several other feminine stars will keep Mrs, Ackman company. At 2:30 oclock today a sizable group of bowlers were to whale away. This squad and the one at 7:30 will be the only groups to shoot tonight Bert Heil and Leslie Malcolm will have something in common when they shoot tonight. On a nearby alley their wives, Frances Heil and Jennis Mal- colm, will be doing their best to beat out “hubby” in addition to winning the 3% title. g | And they might at that, judging from their work this season with the George- town Recreation team in the Women's District League.

Paul Jones' future status as a star matman may hinge on his showing Monday night when he tackles Sandor Szabo, as among the 10 leading wrestlers in the East, in one of the two finish matches of Promoter Joe Turner's Yule"gieto’?“ show at the Washington Auditorium. Jones, whose hook scissors has en- abled him to knock on the door of the star class the last two years, has come to the front so rapidly lately he is conceded a fine chance of trimming the clever Hungarian. The show also will see the return of Ralph Wilson, ever a favorite here Wilson will face Matros Kirilenko in one of the preliminaries. The other finish match will bring together George Hagan and Joe Cox. Other bouts will be Tiger Nelson vs. Bruce Hanson and Chief White Feather vs. Happy. Scott. Tickets are available at the Annap- olis Hotel. MACK REGARDS YANKS Wily Pilot of A’'S Sees New York Club to Beat in 1932.

BY PAUL MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, December 26.—Chl- cago'’s White Sox will be the mystery team of the American League as never before when the firing opens for the 1932 champion- ship flag. Since the close of their futile cam- paign to escape the cellar last season, the entire White Sox oreanization has been shaken so thoroughly that few will recognize it as the same. The “old Roman,” Charles A. Comiskey, who directed the team’s policies with an fron hand from the beginning, has passed on; his son, J. Louis Comiskey, has taken charge with a resolution to shake the club from top to bottom, and & new manager has been appointed to carry on his policies. | { 7TTHE younger Comiskey alre dy has | | started the big task of overhauling | the club by two of the biggest deals in the American League's Winter mart | He swapped Outfielder Carl Reynolds | and Second Baseman Johnny Kerr to Washington for Infielder Minter Hayes | and Pitchers Irving Hadley and “Sad” Sam Jones, following through by trading Pitcher Bob Weiland to the Boston Red Sox for Milt Gaston. “And we have just started to trade.” Comiskey said. “We are ready to trade any player on our club, except Pitcher Vic Frasier, if we can get what we want.” Another great White Sox experiment in 1932 will draw the interest of the American League, especially the rival managers. It is the plan of Lew | Fonseca, successor to the fiery Donie Bush as manager, to convert Smead Jolley, slugging White Sox outfielder, into a caicher. He has performed as catcher before, but in the minor leagues. O start his first term as pilot of the White Sox, Fonseca, a playing manager, has startled the majors with his plan of no major league com- petition in Spring training. The club | will cut its Spring exhibition games to | |a minimum and engage only minor | league teams. | A host of promising rookies will com | up next reason for Fonseca to work | TO REAL 1S OVER NO eHRISTMAS CIGARS, COMBINAT!

December 26.— Washington and Jeflerson College today appeared in the ranks of colleges seek- ing a new foot ball coach for 1932 William T. “Bill” Stobbs appeared the probable successor to Bill Amos as coach of the presidents. Stobbs has Jjust completed a schedule in which his team was undefeated at Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio. The W. and J.

Amos has been subjected to criticism by undergraduates and alumni since the 1931 team, one of the most promis- ing in the East at the opening of the season, failed to win several games.

EW YORK, December 26.—The closest batting race the Na- tional League has witnessed in nearly 40 years finally has been decided in favor of Chick Hafey, be- spectacled slugger of the St. Louis Cardinals. The official batting averages, released yesterday, credit Hafey with an average of .3489, less than a full percentage point ahead of his rivals, Bill Terry of the New York Giants and Jim Bottom- ley of the Cardincls. Terry came in second with a 3486 mark and Bottom- ley third at .3482. Not since 1892, when Clarence Childs of the Cleveland Nationals beat out Dan Brouthers of Brooklyn by the margin of .3351 to .3350, had it been necessary to carry the percentages out to a fourth ship. Averages in general for 1931 were far below the 1930 marks. and only three players who finished among the leading 10 a year ago were able to re- peat—Terry, who won the 1930 title with a 401 mark, Chuck Klein of the FARRELL-SARAZEN LOSE Beaten by Brown and Pilon in Ex- hibition Match at Hawaii.

' THE LISTE HE most interesting sport news of the moment is “Chick” Mee- | han’s decision to coach foot ball at Manhattan College, where Johnny Law, formerly of Notre Dame, { coached last year. It is evident Meehan did not wish to leave New York and the vicinity of his outside business. | Manhattan College has about 1.100; students. It was founded in 1864, and has had few really great feot ball teams | since that time. It is likely to improve | on the gridiron. | It is said that “‘Chick” Meehan will | aid in the schedule, which has not yet | been made out. In ihis way there is small doubt that Manhattan will get | more desirable games, as Meehan is | popular with all other coaches and | graduate managers and they undoubt- edly wilbhelp him all they can. The chances are that “Chick” Mee- han could have had any of a number of other coaching jobs. But, not only is it likely that he would like to stay in the city he has made his home, but it is only human that he would be pleased to build up another fine team in the immediate vieinity of his old field of endeavors. Manhattan had some good, heavy, fast material last season, and the very fact that Meehan is there will draw athletes to the place. Mechan is a good holiday gift for Manhattan. Connie Mack, at 69, is the oldest | young man in base ball. He is, at least, the oldest young manager. Unlike some of our champions, Connie Mack has not become slower. His legs are as good and as long as ever His brain still ‘runs the bases in record time. It is as fast as ever and more experienced.

Fears been ecxpressed that if leagues pooled their obligations they would begin to transfer their players on the pool basis, which would be distinctly unsportsmanlike and give the game a black eve. It is not probable that it would be racognized by Judge Landis. Although the major leagues have gone back to the policy of owning farms, which they once forbade by reso- lution, there are major league owners who are opposed to the plan, and Judge Landis is not believed to be in very hearty accord with it WEINER CONFIDENT OF FINISHING BARRY Stiff Puncher Meets Fast Boxer in Feature of Elks' Show Tues- day at Alexandria.
