NEW YORK, December 30 (#).—The Brooklyn Club of the National League | has announced its game schedule for | the Florida “Grapefruit” League, listing 24 games, 14 of them with major league teams. The Brooklyns’ training season will end as always with a three-game series with the New York Yankees in New York just before the regular playing season opens, making 27 Spring train- ing games in all.

In that round of golf over his home course at Columbia Freddie ran the | gamut all the way from golf of the most | brilliant kind to golf of the duffer| brand, combining & brilliancy that net- ted him no fewer than three deuces with | enough missed shots to cost him three 6s. And if you know your McLeod you know that 6s are as close to his true form as Gandhi to a full-dress uniform. Freddie hates 'em. He claims that if you can keep away from 6s you can score fairly well on any golf course. But in this round of golf he had three 2s, three 6s, four 3s, four 5s and four 4s, enough diversity to please even the most rabid gallery fan. And, incident- | ally, Freddie's trio of deuces is some- thing unique for the Columbia course, where the short holes are tough enough to make any man play a lot of golf to get them. Strangely enough he did not get a deuce on the easiest par 3 hole on the course—the short sixteenth. In | this weird round of golf, crammed with brilliance and mediocrity, he scored a 72. Here is the card Out, par ... 4 McLeod .5 In, par ... 4 McLeod . 4553443263672 Standing on the seventeenth tee, and‘ notwithstanding the brace of 65 be- hind him, Freddie needed but a par 4 | on the last hole for a 70, which is just | ar for the Columbia layout. True to| Els erratic form of the round, however, | he took another 6 and finished with a | %72, That round of golf is just about as | unusual as has been shot at any golf course around Washington this year, barring Archie Clark’s unique perform- ance at Congressional, where he played the last nine in exactly par without & par hole on his card. It will be noted that Preddie had four birdies and an eagle on his card, counting the seven- tenth hole as a par 4, where the play is from the lower tee and the green may be driven. But when any golfer has four 3s and three deuces on his| score card he is showing a lot of stuff. 443544 3626342 453443 From Chevy Chase comes another of those unusual golf yarns which make ‘Winter golf the fun it always is. Rob- ert L. Kayser, one of the elderly mem- bers of the club, holed his tee shot | for an ace on the 150-yard fourth hole of the Chevy Chase course, and scored an 81 for the nine. ! A L. HFOUGHTON, the pro at the Ken- wood Golf and Country Club, has been pestered for years by Walter Cunningham of Burning Tree to get himself an aluminum putter, Cun- ningham sweers by the aluminum put- ter and believes that better putting can be done with the aluminum brand than with any other kind. So Houghton picked himself out an aluminum put- ter and yesterday he romped around the Kenwood course in 28 putis for a %3. He had no fewer than seven one- putt greens, and only one with three Eutu. Starting at the third hole he ad five one-putt greens in & Tow, ending the streak by missing a sloping five-footer at the short eighth, where he chipped up from the left side of the green. Houghton played the first nine holes in 36 strokes, largely by the aid of his phenomenal putting. Kenwood plans to continue its course improvements next Spring by adding more bunkers to the layout over which the initial National Capital open tour- ney was staged last November. There will be no changes in greens and only one or two minor changes in tee loca- tions, but the greens will be more | severely trapped on both the first and second nines and the course generally stiffened up. A new tee is to be put in use at the eighth hole, converting this hole from a 215-yard affair to one’of ®mbout 160 yards. Gene Larkin, assistant pro at Chevy .Chase, is on his way south to his Win- ter post at Lake Wales, Fla. Larkin Jeft the Capital Monday evening, mak- ing the trip by motor.

CHICAGO, December 30.—Six light. heavyweights, seeking the champion- ship of their division via the National Boxing Assoclation’s elimination tour- nament, will go to bat for the second time tonight in the Chicago Stadium. Four of the six won their opening bouts by knockouts, and & series of short, sharp _engagements appeared likely, In addition to the half dozen making their second starts, four others will make their debuts in the tourna- ment.

In the third one, Bob Olin of New York il ‘meet Clyde Chastaln of Dallas, ex. Calmes knocked out Mario Campi in his first battle, and was a mild favorite to get by Manning. Johnson belted out Rosy Rosales of Cleveland in two rounds, while Jones won an impres- sive decision victory over Cowboy Owen Phelps. Olin became a member of the knockout clan by putting Tait Littman | of Milwaukee away in four rounds, and was a slight choice over Chastain who defeated Humberto Curi of the Argen- tine in his last appearance.

BY FRANCIS E. STAN. 601 score won't even be in the money when the smoke blows away on the wildest } pin-spi'ling orgy Washing- ton has ever known—the current Star tournament—but Allan King, who shoots at a regular rate of about 93 pins per game in the King Pin Business Men's League, rolled a 601 set last night that contained two feats that won't quickly be forgotten as will his 601. Already this fourth annual Star tourney has been productive of more bowling rarities and oddities, ranging from record entries to both extremeties of pinfall, but thanks to Allan King, the Star’s event has also produced the first bowler to open a local tournament with a quadruple strike and the new high game Star record-holder. King never may roll 601 again, is less likely to shoot another 182 game and is far less likely to make four strikes in a row, but he at least had the satis- faction of knowing that he forced Maxie Rosenberg and Ollie Pacini, the two leaders with 677 and 676, respec~ M\'t;ly. to take the proverbial ‘“back seat.” King's quadruple strike not only was the first ever to start off a bowler's string in a local tournament, but was one of the few ever made in champion= ship play, individual or league. In any of the three previous Star tournaments, last night's competition might have been regarded as extraor= dinary, for it saw a 626, 614, 611, 610 and two other “600" sets rolled, but only the 626 is fairly sure to be a prize winner. L FISCHER, who has been a con- sistent prize winner in tournament play generally, but particularly successful in The Star's event, topped the night's fleld with his 626. Al was fifth last year with 617 and fourth the year before with 623. His score last night looks good for a prize, but in this high-scoring affair only a small one. Al is satisfied, though. He beat by & single stick a score he predicted for himself in laying a small wager. ARL M'PHILOMY opened his per- formance with six consecutive marks and then missed a single- pin_break. Thereafter he falled to mark for 12 boxes, in only one of which he had a break. With a 153 start for Farl, Rosenberg's 677 appeared within comfortable reach but after game No. 1 it was a struggle most of the way. The Lucky Strike ace missed only two | breaks and picked a couple. His set | was 610. ‘ORMAN SCHROTH, with abomin- able luck, totaled 594, which won't put him in the money, but Norm won himself a ham by beating Ollie Clark, who had 573. Schroth is in the pork business and is sure of at least one sale today at a prodigious profit. John J. Moore, editor of the Duckpin, rolled 614 for his best score in tourna- ment competition. John had only one | Strike and missed next to nothing. The lone strike started his second game and he tacked on six consecutive spares | for a 152. R. Williams of the Bureau of Engrav- ing and Printing League, is only a fair bowler, but he fairly scorched the shel- lac for three games. He cooled off in the last two to total 597. W. Selizer dropped in a 161 string in the fourth to land him in the 600 class with 11 pins to spare. It was a dull night for the girls, M. Gerant's 314 betng high. One poor game, 90_. ruined an excel- !esl;( set for Mike Vitale, who grossed 595. | JACK WHALEN, National Sweep- stakes champion, never got into high gear and shot 577. Brad Mandley, who tralled him in the United States ‘Stakes last year by three sticks, got an even 600. A 94 game killed off | Brad. It's a good thing The Star tourney isn't a 10-game test, else B. Weakley, at his pace last night, would have shot & score of 5 in his tenth string. Weak- ley started with 95, then rolled 85, 75, 65 and 55 for a 375 total. But low scores are no disgrace in The Star tourney. Many a beginner enters merely to gain tournament experience, and they have a lot of fun in the process. PPOSITE the name of J. C. Howard is a score of 537, but don't give | “Tad,” proprietor of the Rendez- vous alleys, too much credit. “Tad” is packing a little too much avoidupois nowadays to roll as he once did, back | in the days when he and Johnny Vaeth staged memorable pin battles. “Tad” rolled two games, 81 and 92, and then called upon Charlie Young, who rolled Monday night, to finish his | string. So it was Charlie who accounts ed for the 116, 106 and 121 strings in “Tad's” set. Tonight will close competition until Saturday, when the event will wind up.

By the Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO, December 30.— With the annual East-West foot ball | game two days distant, fans here ex- pected a contest of power against | fieetness of foot and ability in passing, | with power favored to win. Convinced that the Eastern team, possessing a forward wall of giants and | the hard hitting Hinkle and Russell to | plough through the holes they tear, is | vastly stronger than the Western ag- gregation on plays between the ends, | Westerners who hope for another vic- tory are pinning their faith on wide open and aerial plays. That the West will rety on the air to a considerable extent was confirmed in practice yesterday. Mason and Tos- canl were the key men, as coaches Locey and Bible drilled their men in an nerial attack designed to overcome the ground gains the players coached by Kerr and Hanley are expected to make. Bob Kieckner, University of San Francisco halfback, shared in tossing the ball, as did Merle Hufford of Wash- | ington. The Eastern backs continued to de- velop a system of reverses, spinners and | 2 30 | and Margaret Stapleton, who were sec- and with 575, and also assisted Burk & Co. in winning the team competition with 1,501. Health Center's 1,350 was for g v power drives calculated to smother the Western defense. | The weather continued to be a prob- lem. After a respite yesierday morning, showers developed in the afl and were expected today. g 37 B, Bascom ellle’ Rasmutsen O. D. Crockett. D. R. Grofl. L. A White, E Bl Hilley. icro. W.E. Megaw.
