ALTIMORE, January 2.— Brushing aside all opposi- tion with a spectacular series of triple - header strikes, Roy Barnes of Baltimore tonight rolled up a total of 1,967 points in 15 games to wifi the | National Duckpin Congress’ United | States Sweepstake championship. | Barnes fell short by 14 points of | the world 15-game record made | last Wednesday by Nick Tronoski of New Britain, Conn., but swept | ahead of his nearest rival, Ollie Pacini of Washington, by 102 points. George Lang of Baltimore tallied 1864 points to take third place. Walter Megaw of Washington was fourth with 1,819 points, and Joe Har- rison of Washington, fifth, with 1,815, By his victory Barnes, who bolds the national all-events title, captured the $1,000 cash prize and diamond-studded gold medal for the sweepstakes i Shakes Off Split Jinx. He rolled 674 in the morning five- game set, 688 in the afternoon set and 595 tonight, despite a luckless streak which netted him 18 splits in close formation He smashed the six-year-old world record for 10 games, however, by knocking the maples for 1,372 points to beat the 1,366 total made by Barney Spinella of Brooklyn, N. Y. in 1926 at Washington. Barnes' high game in the first 10 netted i70 points. Prizes of $300, $150, $75 and $50 were awarded for the next four places.

Until last night when Lor- raine Gulli staged her great finish, it remained high. H. L. McQuinp, with 658 last night. had a fine chance to win when he wound up the fourth game with a 521 score and had 93 sticks in the fifth frame of his final game. However, he went markless throughout the rest of the string, finishing with 137 The stirring finish of Miss Gulli| rivaled that of Carroll Daly, the men’s champion. Daly needed 18 pins in his last box to beat Rosenberg and he| made 19 on a difficult spare and 9- | count. In the five boxes in which she pro- duced the two double-beaders and the spare, Miss Gulll averaged 213 pins per frame. In her other 25 boxes her average was only 11 sticks. Incident- y both of the champions roll for the Lucky Strike alleys, Daly with Lucky Strike team in the Men's Dis- trict League and Miss Gulli with the King Pin outfit in the Women's Dis- trict League. The victory of these two stars came as a distinct surprise, as heretofore the dubs had played the major part in the money winning. Expert bowlers were outnumbered something like 80 to 1.

Scott, 325, ROD AND STREAM ; BY PERRY MILLER | HE year 1931 treated the anglers | very kindly, furnishing them | with many different species of fish, and as a parting Afillip presented a local angler, a member of the judiciary of the District, fish- ing in Piscataway Creek a few days before Christmas, with 17 nice large- mouth bass. This is no fish story, being vouched for by a member of the press who received several of the bass for his table. The open Winter with its lack of ice largely is responsible for so many fish being caught at the present time. Trout were caught in the Lower Poto- during the first part of December and a report from North Carolina states eround Oregon inlet channel bass still are being landed, an almost unheard of thing at this time of the year. ; Trout, blues and rockfish furnished excellent sport during the past season. The trout made their appearance in the waters of the bay as early as June 15, and as the season progressed .arger ones were caught. The largest trout ma: 51 | reported taken by a rod and reel angler was caught in the Lower Potomac and weighed 131, pounds. Big blues, run- | n'ng true to form, broke many lines and G’carfled away numerous lures in both the bay and the Lower Potomac. During the latter part of November local anglers reported that rockfish around Tilgh- man’s and Sharp’s Islands, across the bay on the Eastern Shore, also were | doing things to their fishing tackle, breaking lines, etc. In fact one angler reported seeing rockfish welghing as much as 40 pounds breaking water. In the Lower Potomac off Tall Timbers, | Palmer’s and as far upstream as Rock | | Point many fine rock were landed. ‘ ANY inquiries have been received by Rod and Stream concerning | the pond just east of the railroad | bridge across the Potomac that has | Vernon Boulevard. They wanted to | know 1f it was necessary to have a Virginia_fishing license to fish in this pond. We took the matter up with Judge Willlam S. Snow of Alexandria, who also is a memWer of the Commis- sion of Inland Fisheries of Virginia Judge Snow’s reply was that this pond was in Virginia territory and that a | license was absolutely necessary to fish in its waters and that he had so in- structed h's wardens. This pond is | on Federal territory, but it is located |in Virginia, and the Virginia fishing law rules its waters. | The Washington, D. C., Chapter of | the Izaak Walton League of America | has increased the scope of its activities | by the organization of a casting club This club held its initial meeting last | Saturcay at the reflecting pool, at the | foot of Seventeenth street. George | Cook, ex-champlon fly and bait caster, | vas on hend to show the members | ome of the fine points in the art of | casting. These instruction classes will be held every Saturday afterncon and it is hoped that in & comparatively short time the members will become proficient in the art of casting and that tourna- ments can be arranged with other cities. THE Star recently printed a story about no provision- being made to care for the fish to be placed in the 38 new aquariums and_third-floor ‘poals in the Bureau of Pisheries’ new quarters in the new Department of | Commerce Building. It is hard to un- | derstand just why such an appropria- tion asked for by the bureau was not | granted by the Bureau of the Budget The Bureau of Fisheries, unless money | 1s appropriated to care for the fish it | now has, one of which, a sturgeon, is | 35 years old, will be compelled to iib- | | eraie them in the waters of the Poto- | mac. The bureau moved into its new | quarters a week ago. It will have lots of new aquariums for the fishes, but few of them will be filled. This condition is more deplorable because of the fact that this year hundreds of thousands of visitors will be sightseeing here and unless the money is appropriated for the maintenance of the new fish and | vital processes ar aquariums, those visiting the bureau will see only water containing no fish. HE first bill to be passed at the present session of the Senate was ‘one which recognized a ‘“depression” among wild game creatures. The pur- pose of the measure is to compel the various Federal departments and agen- | cles to co-operate with each other in considering the needs of wild life be- fore carrying out any project that might affect this resource. Its pas- sage was the first concrete result of a | two-year study of the problem by the Senate Committee on Conservation of | Wild Life Resources, of which Senator | Frederic C. Walcott of Connecticut is chairman. During the discussion of the bill Senator Harry Hawes of Missouri, vice chairman of the committee, said: “In cur investigations we find that there is not a single department of the Gov- ernment which does not in some way come in contact with the problem of | conservation of wild life. The pur- | pose of this bill is to call to the at- | tention of these departments the fact | that in considering public projects they | should, if economically practicable, | make provisions for wild life preserva- | tion, and production.” | The measure would give the Bureau | of Fisheries' experts a chance to see that future Government-constructed | | dams do not hinder the bureau’s work | Ly falling to provide some means for fish to pass from one side to the other. It also would compel Government agencies controlling impounded waters | to allow use of these for wild life pro- | duction, when such us2 is not incon- | sistent with their primary purpose and | does not conflict with constitutional | rights of the States in which the waters | are located. 1 | strengthen and better co- | ordinate the conservation movement, | the American Game Association took over the trained conservation field force | of the E. I. de Pont de Nemours Co., | Incorporated, of Wilmington, Del,, on | January 1, according to an announce- | January 2.—The | been left by the building of the Mount | ment of the American Game Assocla- tion. “This step means not only a better co-ordination of wild life conservation activities, but will also enable the Amer- ican Game Association to render a serv- ice to the cause, which, due to insuf- ficient field contacts, has not been pos- sible heretofore,” it is stated inex- planation of the enlarged scope of the association’s objectives. These are a bet- ter outdoors for all—the landowner, the sportsman and the general public. N an educational booklet on wild ani- mals just published by the Pennsyl- vania Board of Game Commissioncrs some interesting facts are presented. ~‘More fictitious stories have been told | concerning the habits of snakes than | any other wild creatures.

EW YORK, January .2— “Still the big noise when- ever it comes down to box- ing and real money. No \other term could be applied to | Jack Dempsey, and that is what the wise ones along Cauliflower Row are saying as the amazing plans of Joe Jacobs are slowly taking shape. The manager of Max Schmeling has his eye on | Dempsey as he makes his plans | for 1932. He would be a fool if | he didn’t, seeing that he draws down one-third cf the earnings of the heavyweight champion. Jacobs was brought up in a hard school, and his outstanding trait is shrewdness. Every time one reasons out the ways and means he has in going after things the conviction persists that he was bitten by a fox before he cut his eye teeth. Joe has been fanning the breezes with talk of a match betwen his own Max and Mickey Walker. The match is se- | lected for Miami, for the simple reason | that Jacobs wants the big guns behind Madison Square Garden to foot the bill, He played along with Nate Lewis of the Chicago Stadium and with Jack James, who represented Los Angeles sports en- thusiasts. They withdrew because Joe made terms he knew they would not mest. It was good publicity, neverthe- less, and that is what Joe wanted, just | at the time when Schmeling was on his | way to America. AX is scheduled to go on tour soon after he arrives. The German fighter, however, will not fail to look over the stupendous sums that Jack Dempsey has attracted to the box office and then do some thinking. Dempsey got going in August with his exhibition tour, and wound up in December. The gross intake was close to a half million dollars. This against nondescript battiers and with Jack wearing 16-ounce pillows in his exhibi- tions Does Schmeling tunk he can come anywhere near that figure? It would be folly for a reigning « hampion | to be placed In the pale by 2 man who | was defeated twice in a titular bout and has been out of the ring Iuur years. Jacobs has no aversion to going to Miami with a Schmeling-Walker fight. The fact that he is willing to work on a percentage basis can only signify that | he does not think Walker is in the same class with Schmeling. Then again, Joe says he is willing to have Max fight Jack Sharkey in June. One cannot help thinking that he is throwing out a smoke screen when issuing this state- ment. The champion has had more than one chance to fight the sailor and | has not grabbed it. Why the sudden change of face? HE only answer to this is that Joe wants to eppease the wrath of the New York boxing commissioners, who insist that Shark: first call over any other challenger. He does not have to do this. He is not licensed by this commission and can do as he | Pleases until the time comes when he wants to appear in the Empire State. But Joe is a born politician and knows how and when to speak soothing words. Certainly he agrees to box Sharkey. It is the logical thing to say. If the name of Dempsey is proposed—and Dempsey also happens to be outside the commis- sion’s authority—the argument will be that Jack scored a knockout over Sharkey and supersedes the Bostonian | as_the outstanding challenger for the | title. Simple if you know the ropes | and can argue like a sea lawyer. | _The paramount question is: Will | Dempsey come back? Thousands of fight fans would like to know the an- swer. Jack has been kidding the public long enough and his statement that he | will fight again “if he decides that he 'ls in shape to make a winning fight,” is hardly satisfactory. EMPSEY is going on tour again this month. Is his reply meant solely for the consumption of those who might be attracted to the gate? Jack is the only one who knows. One thing alone is sure. Unless Dempsey feels that he has a fighting chance to dethrone Schmeling, no amount of money will induce him to enter the prize ring for a legitimate contest. Jack thinks too much of his personal following and pride and would not risk a crushing defeat for all the gold in the world. Those who know Wwhat he has turned down to capitalize | his name readily realize ths. It would be tragic to see Dem y come back after four years of lnactr\fiety 8 |and be beaten down by a fighter lik %8| Schmeling. e . | Jim Jeffries was in the | prime of life when he retired for lack of suitable opponents. Always a clean | liver and a man of the earth, Jeffries, after six years away from the wars, was a pitiful wreck when he faced Jack Johnson. Would history repeat itselt | in the case of Jack Dempsey? RICHARDS IS VICTOR IN PRO TENNIS' PLAY By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 2.—Vincent Richards, former Davis Cup player and national professional singles champion, today won the first national indoor pro- fessional lawn tennis tournament, de- feating Charles Wood of Elmsford, N. Y., in three hard-fought sets on the hardwood courts of the 71st Regiment Armory. Richards won in straight sets, 6—3, 6—4, 6—4. The doubles finals dragged out for nearly three hours before Richards and Albert Burke, Irish star, defeated Wood and Emmet Pare of Chicago, 20—18, 6—3. 3—6, 4—6, 6—3. It took one and one-half hours to play the 38-game first | set, the end finally coming when Rich- ards and Burke broke through Pare's service for the second time during the | set. After dropping the second set, Pare and Wood rallied, concentrated their at- " | tack on Burke, broke the Irish player's | service once in each set and evened the match. Burke came back in the fifth set, however, and led the attack that broken Wood's service in the second game, which gave the winners a lead they never relinquished. Y - INTERSECTIONAL TILT.
