Needs : Woman Bowlers to Roll in Marathon LOW SCORES SEEN IN LATEST PELLET Links Play This Year Apt to Surpas: That With 1931 Sphere. T G. A. made an about-face a few weeks back and par- tially met the demands of thou- sands of golfers by restoring the former weight of 1.62 ounces, may have been a good ball, as the solons told us it was, but it didn’t | do anything in the way of record scoring around Washington The 1.55 sphere was a good ball as golf balls go, but it certainly stopped the avalanche of low scoring that hit Washington over the last flve years. The pros had a good time with it, but there were thousands of amateurs who couldn’t make the ball behave. The plain truth of the year of play | with the balloon ball is that there were fewer low rounds scored around Wash- agton with that sphere than in any year since Washingtonians began to get good enough to play real golf. No course records were broken o shington, where the sharp- | shooters on the tricky Virginia layout | have been going after that record of | 66, set by Maurice McCarthy three years ago, only one man broke 70 dur- ing the vear. In 1930 there were at Jeast a dozen rounds below 70, but last year there were only five and all five were by little Davie Thompson, the club professional Low Scores in 1930. The year 1930 saw & lot of low scoring at Chevy Chase, Columbia and Indian Spring, rounds like the 65 made by Bob Barnett at Chevy Chase; the 68's made by Fred McLeod, Miller Stevin- son and Everett Eynon at Columbia: the 66 by J. Monro Hunter and the 67 by George Voigt at Indian Spring, but on the whole the year of the balloon ball saw & considerable diminution in the volume of low scoring on the local golf courses. Monro Hunter, ir., had a round of 69 at Indian Spring, but there were no rounds below 70 at Manor or Congres- sionel, where there were several below 70 in 1930 at both courses. Undoubtedly 1932 will find a return to the low scoring of the years before the advent.of the balloon ball, but it is true that 1931 was no bed of roses for those used to sub-par rounds of ol In the first place if there was any wind at all that pesky balloon bail just_ wouldn't go anywhere, no mat- ter how hard it was hit. And it had the annoying habit of hitting the hole and popping up on the back edge, to remain an inch or so away. Shots that used to be played with a mashie become & No. 3 iron and so on. The bell just wasn't the ball of other years. Rounds Are Improving. Already this year, with the advent of a heavier ball of the same diameter as the balloon, the scores seem to be better. Fred McLeod romped around Columbia on s slow course the other day in 70 whacks, with a 4 and a 5§ to finish, where a 3 and a 4 would have netted him a 68. Several rounds down in the low 70s have been recorded at Washington and one or two .rounds around 70 have been posted at Indian Spring. Tuesday, Tommy Bones, the young benedict of Columbia, scored a 70. So it seems the new ball will make an improvement in the scoring. But those sub-par rounds of 1929 and 1930 have been strangely missing It may be that this year when the courses get fast high class golfers around Washington will break out in a rash of low scoring. Quite likely they will, for the class of golf about the Capital is improving each year. Last year, with the balloon ball, Harry Pitt won the District champion- ship in approximately the same figures over the same course as it had been won in the previous year with the old rabbit ball lification round scores in the invitation tournaments were neither | lower nor higher than in the previous | year, but the real low scores were miss- ‘ BY W.

CALVERT DICKEY, the man| who never gives up, who is prob- ably one of the most remarkable golfers about Washington, still is going strong. Playing Wednesday at Wash- ington—his home course—Dickey scored a 75, which included three 6s. Five birdies fell to the unerring accuracy of Dickey's putter. Lacking in what the | stylists might call good golf form, never a long hitter and awkward looking on the tee, Dickey, nevertheless is a very effective golfer. He is an excellent putter and always is straight as a | string from tee to green. His game is one of the unusual ex- amples of what can be done by steady | play and effective thought on shet re- sults. Dickey never has taken a les. son in the seven years he has been playing golf, but he plays every day. Yesterday he had three birdies in the first five holes.

BLICK'S “STADIU” SCENE OF-TOURNEY Evelyn Ream Caps Sensa- tional Rise to Stardom With Set of 408. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. OW that John Blick, who manages 460 bowling alleys from Atlanta to Washing- | ton, has a bowling “sta- dium,” the first of its kind, erected | at the giant Convention Hall, the | big maple magnate’s next problem | is to dig up some savory duckpin dishes to keep the “stadium” filled. Blick’s latest idea is something brand-new, a 50-game sweep- stakes for women, patterned after his 100-game marathon for men last year. This event will follow the opening| match in the new “stadium,” which | will be staged on January 16, when Ray Von Dreele and Ray Barnes of Balti- more will bowl Ollie Pacini and Red Megaw of Washington in doubles 1t is the 50-game sweepstakes which probably will attract the most interest and fill the grandstand Blick is erect- ing to seat 1,200. The boss of the Con- vention Hall, Columbia and Arcadia last year inaugurated his 100-game mara- thon, which, incidentally, may be re- newed later this season. It was an event entirely new in duckpins and even the spacious “Hall” proved incapable | of accommodating_the crowd. The women's 50-game sweepstakes, Blick expects, will prove just as attrac- tive as the men’s marathon stakes was last year. The rules will have the en- trants starting together and ending High Team Set Identity 1,486 Wildeat Wil 1,501 Amer.

In this event, the first woman to finish will be declared the winner. In announcing plans for his novel marathon sweepstakes, Blick declared he is assured of half a dogen entrants, two of whom are expected to be out-of- town bowlers. No date has been set at present, but it was understood that it will follow sometime after the open- ing doubles match in the “stadium” on January 16. VELYN REAM hasn't set the bowl- ing world on fire prior to this seuson, but the manner in which she has come to the front in the last two weeks might be taken as an in- | dication that bowling folk are going to hear more of the new sensation of the Deal Service team in the Women's District League. Only a little over a week ago Mrs. Ream shot a 343 set in The Star tour- nament to land third place. Last night at the Columbia she rolled the most remarkable three-game set for a Wom- an in the history of duckpins. Her games were 133, 132 and 143. Mis. Ream'’s sensatlonal score was & deserving one. She made 12 spares and four strikes, but no_double-head- ers. She averaged over 7 pins on her 16 marks and lost only 15 sticks in the entire set, five of them in one box. Her 408 score, & new world record, bests the previous mark, held by Lor- raine Gulli, who shot 404 last year in the Washington Women's Duckpin Assoclation. The highest 1eague set had been 395, also a record, by Miss Gulli. Despite her three powerful strings, Mrs. Ream was topped in high game | by Doris Goodall of the Columbia team, who rolled 145. a new season record, which supplanted the 143 jointly held by Lucy Owen and Reva Banks. N attractive bowling battle is card- ed for tomorrow at Henry Hiser's Bethesda alleys. The Hisermen will entertain the crack Annapolis Buick rollers, starting at 7:30 o'clock. Singles and doubles probably will fol- low the team match. The Annapolis bowlers have two standouts in Bill Ar- nold and Ray Clark. W. & L.
