BY FRANCIS E. STAN. ONNECTICUT'S Blue Rib- bons are waving trium- | | \ phantly over the Nation's| Capital today, but a quiet, | unassuming chap who wasn't chosen to battle the bowling monitors from the North was the savior of Washington's bowling prestige last night. Connecticut has its great Nick Tronsky, its colorful Jack White and its two new world duckpin | records, but Washington has its Carroll Daly, as game a bowler as | ever stepped on the mapleways, and isn't willing to trade While the District's best, Astor Clarke, Max Rosenberg, Brad Mandley et al. acknowledged defeat on the low- er floor of the giant Lucky Strike, Car- roll Daly, the two-often overlooked member of the Lucky Strike team, smashed out on the floor above a 679 score for five games and in doing so gave an exhibition of nerve control that thrilled to the marrow, to pale several unprecedented feats accom- plished by leading members of one of the greatest aggregations of duckpin shooters of all time was & star bowler whose voice pene- trated a momentary silence as Car- rol Daly poised for & shot that would | mean permanent recognition of all that s man needs and there was none to | doubt that star's sincerity when he cried: “Whew, what a spot! I'm glad I'm not shooting that spare.” There wasn't a handful of persons | present to watch Daly roll his first | three games in The Star's annual sin- gles tournament ‘When he finished his first three strings with 397, then the fourth with 540, the eyes and voices of scores of spectators were centered at Daly.

But Daly seemed | to shake himself together, forget the | yelling, sympathizing crowd, and with the coolness of a super-athlete, sent the trio of sticks crashing. He was out of the “frying pan.” But he was into the | fire, He needed eight sticks to beat | Mex Rosenberg’s 677 and to get eight | sticks on his first ball meant a well nigh perfectly placed hit The coolest person in the Lucky Strike at the moment, judging from action, was Carroll Daly. His hit was | perfect for a nine-pin count and todsy he is out in front with a grand total of 679 National titles and large sums of money have been won on pinch bowl- ing, but Daly’s 19-pin count in his last box. when The Star championship and first prize was at stake, probably will b» remembered by every person in that frenzied crowd as one of the gamest acts ever witnessed on a bowling drive. Daly started with 126 and then rolled 148, 143 and 139 to register not only the highest score of any Star T:urney, but the highest five-game set of the year in Washington. Strangely enough, Daly’s super bowl- | ing was rivaled by a fellowworker of | a well known adding machine company, | Ray Ward | Ray put together strings of 137, 119, | 153, 120 and 121 for & 650 set. | BE BEAVERS, Recreation League pinman, rose to make & great big for the lead after a poor start when he shot 96, 148, 127, 155 and 145 for a 671 score.

Red Megaw, probably the greatest lead-off bowler of all time, will roll first; Hokie Smith will follow Earl McPhilomy will be next, and Brad Mandley and Ollie Pacini will wind up. Although Washington took a bad beating from the invaders yesterday, losing the singles, doubles and the team matches, the local all-stars are confi- dent of turning the tables tonight. Both Red Megaw and Ollie Pacini gave evi- dence of being in top form last night | when they came within eight pins of breaking the world doubles record in | swamping the national championship | duo of Paul Harrison and Eddie Espey, 1,304 to 1,195.

Unknown to many who failed to see all of yester- day’s battles, Trousky smashed the all- time world record for 15 games, when | his combined singles and two doubles totals gave him a score of 1,979 for 15 strings. The former record was made by Barney Spinella of Brooklyn in 1926, when he shot 1916 at Convention Hall Tronsky started the day by trimming Astor Clarke in the singles, 656 to 618 He did not participate in the doubles match, in which Jack White and Bill Tato of the invaders drubbed Max Rosenberg and Brad Mandley, 1 to 1,171, but his team set was 664.

HICAGO, December 31. — A shifty Negro warrior named Billy Jones from Philadelphia, | & counterpart of Jack John- | today as a major challenger to win the | vacated light heavyweight champion- ship, as a result of administering a one-sided beating to Larry Johnson, | Chicago Negro, in the Chicago Stadium | 1ast night. They met in one of two second-round battles of 10 rounds each in the tour- nament being conducted by the Na- tional Boxing Association to select a successor to the dethroned titleholder, | Maxie Rosenbloom. Jones, one of the | best light heavyweights in the East, completely outboxed Johnson and showed contempt for the Chicago Ne- gro's vaunted right-hand smash. He had_Johnson's right eye swollen shut in the sixth round and at times toyed with him. He scored heavily in in- fighting, dropping Johnson with a left hook to the body for a count of eight in the sixth round. ONES ranks as the favorite because of his achievement in defeating Rosenbloom in & match over the light heavyweight limit, and failing thereafter to get a match with the champlon at the 175-pound notch Baxter Calmes, debonair Oklahoma Oity youngster, and Bob Olin, young bond salesman of New York, also were second round winners, along with Jones. | Calmes eliminated the dangerous punch- ing Roscoe Manning, Negro, of Newark, N. J, by winning the verdict in their 10-rounder, while Olin was awarded an unpopular victory over Clyde Chastain of Dallas, Tex., in 10 rounds. Chastain, with W. L. (Young) Stribling shouting words of advice into his ears, appeared to outbox Olin, but the verdict in the New Yorker's favor probably was in- fluenced by his strong finish, HARLEY BELANGER, Winnipeg, Canada’s challenger for the honors, | and George Nichols, southpaw, of Buffalo made their first start in the tournament and _emerged victorious. Belanger conquered Billie Bush, a Negro, of Waterbury, Conn., in elght rounds, while Nichols 'scored & technical knock- out over Don Petrin of Newark in the fifth round of their scheduled eight- rounder. The Belanger-Bush bout came near ending in confusion in the eighth round, when they both fell out of the ring. ' Referee Eddie Purdy _raised Bush's arm in victory because he had scrambled back inside the ropes at the count of 10. Gen. John V. Clinnin, president of the N. B. A. and chairman of the Illinois State Athletic Commis- sion, overruled the verdict, however, and ordered the fighters to finish the eighth round.

ONE NEVER KNOWS — TO THE RIVIE PERSONAL S BETTER FOR To You Many Changes in Their Lists BY GEORGE CHADWICK. ANY changes have been made in the teams of the major leagues in the last few weeks and there will be more. In a few weeks the diamonds at the training camps will be leveled and the sod trimmed to make nat- ural rugs for aching feet. For the benefit of the fans,| changes that have been made sinle the reserve lists were an- nounced are summarized as the old year dims. ‘The Boston Nationals have permitted Dreesen, Haid, Maguire, Cronin, Neun, Richbourg and Sheely to depart. They have added Knothe. Four inflelders have gone. One has been taken on. One pitcher, one catcher and one out- flelder have been transferred. Brooklyn has not made a change of consequence, but has suggested many. The Chicago Nationals no longer have Hack Wilson, Churry, Nelson and Teachout. They have added Grimes, Hack, Taylor and Richbourg. INCINNATI has talked trade with every club in major league base ball. The Reds have under reser- vation =il players who are likely to be of any use to them. They sent Cullop to class AA. They have taken on High and Roettger from the St. Louis Na- tionals. If these two players can do as well for the Reds as they did for the Cardinals, Dan Howley, the Cincinnati manager, will be of good cheer all sea- son. The one big addition to the Giants is Len Koenecke, Indianapolis outfield- er. If he is smart enough to make good in the outfield, it will release Lindstrom to play second base. If Lindstrom can play second base four- fifths as well as it was played by Critz before the latter lost the use of his arm, the Giants will have an infield that | may put them strongly in the race.

HE chief addition to the Pittsburgh team s a new manager, George Gibson. ‘The players who have been sent elsewhere are Steinecke and Sankey, both of whom have given promise. St. Louis has fed itself with some ra- tions from its farms ahd has sent High, Grimes and Roettger away. The Car- dinals have Teachout and Wilson from the Cubs and thus early both are an- nounced as sure sensations in 1932. In the American League the Boston Red Sox no longer number Gaston among their losing pitchers, and have sent Reeves, who came to them from Washington, to another club. Smith and Winsett have gone. The Red Sox have taken on Michaels and Welland, two left-hand pitchers. The Chicago Americans sent Garland, Garrity, Goff, Jeftries, Kerr, Norman, Reynolds, Wehde and Weiland away, after they had made their reservations for the year, and they added Sam Jones, Hadley, Hayes, Gaston and Anderson. Clevéland, ltke Brooklyn, has stood around and talked, and traded chewing gum, but player changes are prominent | by their absence. | T)ETROIT has sent Dolack else- | where, as well as Hughes and Walker, and has again signed Stanley Harris as manager. The reserved list of the Yankees has not been changed much. Reese has been sent to St. Paul to pay for Saltzgaver. No charge in the Athletics since Con- nie Mack permitted many of the smaller fry to go out West for the next season. The St. Louls Browns have sent Braxton_to Milwaukee and have per- mitted Crouch, Stanton and Stiles to depart. They have so few players that their salary list will not overwhelm them in 1932. Washington has sald good-by to Had- ley, Hayes and Sam Jones, and added Kerr and Reynolds from Chicago. reserve list s it was given out some | time ago, and then you will be ready to sit in with the Hot-stove League and pick out the winners for 1932. But there are other trades in the air, and when the February meetings of the majors are held there may be more shifts and | more fodder for the boys who love to “pick 'em out” before the base ball sea- son starts. # IRVING, FINAZZO DUE TO PROVIDE ACTION 02| Henry Irving and Joe Finazzo, & pair of hard-punching middleweights, will go on in the semi-wind-up of the Natie % | Brown-Reds Barry match here Tuesday Butler Harrison Dawson Walker Bro Harlow Aldridge Johnson Jones el & |8V R L C.

OVER TOWNSEND Stops Welter Rival in Seventh Round—Wants Go With Can- zoneri or Brouillard. BY WILBUR WOOD. | _NEW YORK, December 31.—The old | Fargo Express came rolling into victory station again last night, not only on schedule, but more than 10 minutes ahead of time. That's just another way of saying that Billy Petrolle, vet- eran Fargo welterweight, knocked out Billy Townsend of Vancouver in the | seventh round of their scheduled 10- | rounder in Madison Square Garden. It was a bad night for the newer faces. In the semi-final Eddie Ran of Poland, no stranger hereabouts, out- punched Franta Nekolny of Prague. In the bout ahead of that Vidal Gregorio, veteran Spanish bantamweight, evened his score with Antol Kocsis of Hungary by beating him to the decision. Steve Wolanin, a Syracuse University prod- uct, went the way of all collegians when he was flattened in the third round of his affair with Chief Mike Payan, Arizona Yaqui Indian. Though Townsend managed to linger until well into the seventh round, when | Referee Willie Lewis mercifully called |a halt, the Vancouver miner really was | beaten in the first round. Petrolle hit him on the chin with a left hook. not taking full effect until a couple of | seconds later, when Townsend fell as Petrolle was taking aim for another | shot. Townsend got up at nine—being al- most too late—and folded his arms around his head. Instead of rushing him Petrolle was very deliberate. After the fight the writer asked Petrolle how he happened to let Townsend get away, not only that time, but on other occa- sions when he floored the Vancouver boy. “It looked as if you were trying to hold him up,” said this scribe. “I didn't want to break a hand,” said Petrolle. “All he gave me for a target | was arms and elbows, and I wanted to | open him up rather than take a chanc | on breaking a hand.” | Tony Canzoneri or Lew Brouillard for | their titles. | | PRO NET EVENT IS ON | First National Indoor Tourney at New York Has 23 Entrants.

URING the course of the hundreds of thousands of rounds of golf that have been played over the four courses in East Potomac Park, where a large slice of Washing- ton’s public links golfers pursue the wayward pill from dawn to dusk on any good day, most of the holes have been played in eagles, and doubtless there have been a few of those rare holes played in 3 better than par. But Al Farr, the genial gent, who has presided over the destinies of golf | at East Potomac Park for seven or | eight years and has seen 'em all come and go, from President Harding down, claims that none of the three courses in the down-river park has an all-time record of better than 21 strokes. Un- | doubtedly Al has overlooked a bet here | and there, but it hasn't been because | he was not willing to listen. Listening is Farr's long suit, as it must be the forte of any man who would be a suc- | cessful golf course manager. For golf's secondary charm, in case you don't know it, is the recapitulation of the round. Al Jolson called it the “hoof- | and-mouth disease” because they *hoot | it all day and mouth it all night.” E that as it may and notwithstand- ing the fact that undoubtedly at some spots along the line of play better scores have been made than those which stick in the memory of those in charge of the public courses at East Potomac Park, Farr rises to remark that the all-time record for Course A, the first course in the park, is 21 strokes, and the all-time records for Courses C and E are 22 each. He freely admits that he may not have heard of some unusual shots which re- sulted in freak scores and that some may have slipped his memory. And both Farr and The Star would appre- clate a checking up by any player who has made a score which brings down the all-time record for any of the three courses. A and C courses are reversi- ble—that is, they may be played from either direction. Course A goes down on the east side of Potomac Park and | comes back on the west, and Course C plays in the same reversible fashion. Course E is not a reversible course, nor is the new nine-hole layout that was opened last May. Here is the way the all-time record | for the three courses in East Potomac | Park shapes up, according to the best available records: Course A— No. 1—283 yards, par 4, made in 2 | strokes by Harry Pitt. No. 2—134 yards, par 3, made in 1 by Bill McGuire. No. 3—376 yards, par 4, made in 3. No. 4427 yards, par 4, made in 3. No. 5—215 yards, par 3, made in 1 by Harry Dorsey and others. No. 6—185 yards, par 3, made in 1 | several times. | “No. 7—538 yards, par 5, made in 4 many times. . No. 8—405 yards, par 4, made in 3 many times. No. 9—343 many times. This gives a total of 21 strokes for the oldest course in the park, which is 14 strokes under par for the layout. Undoubtedly this mark has been bet- tered and not reported, and Farr would appreciate it if he had the revised | scores. RE is the total of record for Course C: No. 1—410 yards, par 5, made in 3 by H. Bowers. No. 2—520 yards, par 5, made in 3 by Al Farr. No. 3—425 yards, par 4, made in 3. No. 4—140 yards, par 3, made in several times. No. 5—326 yards, par 4, | many times. No. 6—360 yards, par 4, many times. No. 7—451 yards, par 5, by Robert Lewis. | “No. 8—200 yards, par 3, made in 1 by R. J. Hewitt, to win the hole from Ed Burns, who scored a 2. No. 9—300 yards, par 4, made in 2 by Louis Fuchs. The total thus given is 22 strokes, and probably some of the holes made in 3 have also been made in 2 by some freak shot; and not recorded. total for course E is as follows: No. 1—292 yards, par 4, made in 2 by R. R. Hair. No. 2—150 yards, par 3, made in } several times No. 3—320 yards, par 4, made in 3 | many times. No. 4—300 yards, par 4, made in 3 | many times. No. 5-434 yards, par 4, made in 3 | by T. Gibraski and H. Bowers. | "No. 6—416 yards, par 4, made in 3. No. 7—343 yards, made in 3 many times. No. No. times. The total for this 2,855-yard layout, shortest of the courses in East Potomac Park, is 22 strokes, against a par of 35, which does not begin to compare with the all-time records for some of the private courses about Washington. But it is more than likely that the records for the public courses are not as complete as those at the private clubs. yards, par 4, made in 3 made in made in 1 3 3 3 made in 8200 yards, made in 1 9—400 yards, made in 3 many J. B. Murphy, an old-time member of ‘Bannockburn, now a member of Columbia, drops us a line to recall the day he made the seventh hole at Bannockburn in 2 strokes, which Tony Sylvester, the Bannockburn pro, did not recall at the time Bannockburn's all- time record score was arranged. This brings the record for the Glen Echo layout down from 39 to 38. o PERMIT 52 N\ULLHPP TheBest Oil inthe Resists HEAT—Ilasts long.
