SHOOT FIRST SET AT LUCKY STRIE Boy, Junior Championships of Maryland and D. C. Also | on Bowling Card. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. OLL-OFFS for the boy and | junior champlonships of | the District of Columbia | and Maryland and the first | block of bowling's show of shows, the Howard Campbell Sweep- stakes, compose today one of the brightest duckpin programs of the season. The Campbell Sweepstakes, at the Lucky Strike, will attract in| the neighborhood of 60 star bowl- | ers, seeking one of the richest bowling plums. Astor Clarke i the defending champion. Action will start at 7:30 o'clock. Announcement of the scenes of the roll-offs in the United States boy and Jjunior tournaments yesterday were | made by George Isemann, secretary of | the National Duckpin Congress. | The roll-off for the boys’ champlon- ship of the District of Columbia has been awarded the Rendezvous alleys. Three youngsters, Stuart Pattl, repre- senting the Arcadia; Bobby Chalfonte of the Arcadia and Al Baer of the Co- Jumbia, will meet in the final, which will start at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Washington's junior champion will be decided at 7 o'clock tonight at the | Arcadia, when five youngsters, Alphido Brigriglio of Rendezvous, Ouncie Har- rison, Arcadia; Robert Wray, Colum- | bia; Nick Rinaldi, Lucky Strike, and Abe Singer, Convention Hall, finish the battle for the title left vacant by Eddie Espey of Washington, who went on to | win ‘the United States junior crown. Espey cannot compete this year, being over the age limit. 'HE boys’ championship of Mary- land was to be decided at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Hyattsville Arcade,” with the following competing: Dick Faulconer, Silver Spring; Rodman Harrison, Hyattsville; J. Schwartz, Cen- tral alleys of Baltimore, and D. Hooper, | Arcade alleys of Baltimore. At 7 o'clock on the Boulevard drives the junior champlonship of Meryland | will be at stake. Noble Viers will rep- | resent Silver Spring, Benjamin Potter. Arcadia; Bob Temple, Hyattsville; G. Kahl, Arcade alleys of Baltimore; J. Hurd, Central alleys of Baltimore, and | Meyer Dacobson, Recreation alleys of | Baltimore. | The winners of these events will roll other State champions during the na- tional tournament at Norfolk for the United States championships. Last year’s winners were Eddie Espey of Washington and John Hanson of Rich- ‘mond. OWEVER, most of the interest to- night will be centered upon the sixth running of the classic Camp- bell Sweepstakes. No bowler looms as an outstanding threat to win, the most certain pre-tourney indication being that & new record will be established. At the rate the stars have been spilling sticks this year the score of 1,878, which Clarke won with last year, looks none too good to stand as a record. After tonight's block at the Lucky Btrike, action will be resumed next Sat- urday at the Rendezvous and wound up & week later at Convention Hall. NOVEL doubles match, involving two members of the Griffmen and two of John Blick’s Midgets, will be sure to attract tonight at 8 o'clock at the Arcadia. Sammy Rice, veteran fiyhawk of the | Nationals, and Nick Altrock, coach and clown of the same club, will tackle | Ouncie Harrison and Al Baer. Ouncie and Al, by the way, are shooting in the District finals of the United States boy and junior tournament and by the| time Rice and Altrock are ready for| the youngsters, they may have a couple of fancy titles tacked on their names. The weekly Arcadia sweepstakes also will be held. ‘The Campbell 'Stakes is assured of at least one unknown this year_in Earl Magruder, a Kensington entry. Earl, a youngster who will participate in | his first major tourney tonight, was entered by a flock of Kensington bowl- ing fans. W C. KIESLER of the Rosslyn Steel | . team was the winner last night of | the Building Contractors’ League Handicap Sweepstakes, which was | staged for charity. His score was 652 | for the five games, including the handi- | cap. Mike Vitale of Minte Paint fin- ished second with 650, while Frank Miller of D. C. Butcher was third with | 644. W. Kline of D. C. Butcher and | Adolph Dries of Southern Asbestos tied | for the last money place with 641, | Half of the entrance fee of this event | will go to the unemployed. | GOLF SOLONS IN PARLEY | it Occupying Annual Meeting of U. 8.

The accompanying sketches are carried with this article to show what happens when the more power- ful right arm takes control of the downswing on a long shot. Just try a few swings yourself and let the right arm bring the club down to the ball. Two errors are likely to result, First, you will force the clubhead out beyond the direction line and then be compelled to pull it in and across the ball in order to stroke the pellet on its way. As a result, much A SLICED BALL _~ SMOTHERED BALL of one's power is lost, the ball is sliced. The second difficulty resulting from a too early application of the right in the long shots is that your right hand, in assuming command, turns the entire arm over as you are coming into the ball. This hoods the face of the club and smothers the shot. In addition, “I'm helpless when it comes to long iron shots.” How many times have you heard this?

HICAGO, January 9.—The Na- tional Boxing Association is on a hunt for some one to sponsor an elimination tournament among the featherweights, following the failure of Bat Battalino to make the division weight limit ye!teldlz. Gen. John V. Clinnin, president of the N. B. A, wants an elimination among the American featherweights, with the winner to meet Europe’s best for the world title. The N. B. A. already has tourna- ments in operation to seek successors to Maxie Rosenbloom and Mickey Walker as light-heavyweight and | middleweight title holders, respec- | tively. | BATTALINO LIKELY - LIGHTWEIGHT NOW ‘Apt to Try for Canzoneri’s Crown After Forfeiting Feather Title. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 9.—The first champlonship boxing match of 1932 has resulted in no fight and a vacant title. Christopher (Bat) Battalino, king of the featherweights for more than two years, forfeited his crown yester- day when he scaled 135% pounds for a scheduled title defense against Lew Feldman in Madison Square Garden. That poundage was 9§34 pounds over the class limit and Battalino's title was declared forfeited by the New York State Athletic Commission and his match with Feldman was canceled. ‘Whatever the factors in Battalino's inabflity to make the weight, forfeiture of his title was regarded in some quar- ters as paving the way for a match be- tween the Hartford boy and Tony Can- zoneri with the world lightweight championship at stake. Nate Lewis of the Chicago Stadium has been angling for this match for several weeks. Battalino has been having trouble making the featherweight limit for | some time. It was said he had reduced to 128 pounds on Thursday, but lost his tem- per as a result of the troubles of weight making, called off training, drank all the water he wanted and ate a big steak. As a matter, of fact, Battalino vir- tually has fought himsell out of chal- lengers among the featherweights. He defended the crown six times last year, beating three of the foremost contend- and Earl Mastro. | He looked impressive as a lightweight | against Singer. owling Standings SPORTS WRITERS' DOUBLES LEAGUE.

GIROCERIES VEP, ITS COMICALER'N ALL GIT OUT, HAIN'T T3 THET BOY'S A CARD, DAWG MY CATS |F Il {{Hey i Il 1 Il THE LATEST "ACON IN COMIC BUTTON SPORT RANCIS OUIMET is the oldest | | golfer to win the amateur cham- plonship of the United States during the last 20 years. Sounds strange, doesn't it, that a man at the age of 38 years should be classed as & veteran in a game which has been called for decades “an old man's !game.” Yet Ouimet, at the age of 38, |is the oldest holder of the amateur | champlonship since Walter J. Travis won his last title back in 1903. Judged 'by the age of most of the champions of amateur golf in recent years Ouimet is a doddering old veteran about ready to be laid away on the competitive shelf. But he proved out there in the melee of Chicago last September that the eyes of veterans of 38 years and | ;me raw courage of a game tempered | through two decades of big time com- | petition, may prevail against the bril- liance of men many years their junior. ‘The Bobby Jones era of champion- ship winning, when the rotund Georgian | was sweeping everything before him in | the years from 1923 to 1831, found the champlonship going to young men be- low the age of 30 years. Jones won his first amateur in 1924 at the age of 22, eight years after he started in the championship over the same course— Merion—at the age of 14. He won his last championship, also at Merion, in 1930 at the age of 28. Von Elm was a veteran of 25 years when he won from Jones at Baltusrol in 1926, and Harrison R. Johnston was 35 when he won at Pebble Beach in 1929. HICK EVANS, who has won two amateur champlonships, was only 30 years of age when he won his last title, back in 1920, at Roslyn, and Jerry Travers was a mere kid as years 80 when he won his last title at Garden City in 1913. Willlam C. Fownes, the Pittsburgh millionaire, was classed as a veteran when he won in 1910, yet he was not as old as Oulmet was when he won at Chicago last year. Walter Travis, the Australian-born master of amateur back in 1903, was well into his forties at the time of that victory. But ‘Travis did not take up the game until his middle thirties, and as a potential champlonship winner Travis did not figure after 1910. The “old man’s game” is a game for youngsters and the figures prove it, for Ouimet at at the age of 38 is the oldest championship winner among the am- ateurs since the mauve decade. Per- | haps it is the strenuous championship |test of six days’ grueling plai’1 that wears down the older men, but whatever it is, amateur championship golf is no game for a man not in the pink of physical condition. And after 35 it be- comes increasingly difficult to keep in that condition. Measured by any stand- tough strain, both on the physical and mental side. Much more nerve strain is involved in the comparatively quiet game of golf than in those games like tennis, foot ball and base ball, where violent physical activity is needed. The nerve strain of a 4-foot putt which may win or lose a championship transcends that of any other sport. It's only coun- terpart might be in a champlonship billard game, another game where nerves are the main factor. So it is all the more remarkable that Oulmet—the man who first brought §OIf to the front page when he won rom Vardon and Ray at Brookline in 1913—should win the amateur cham- plonship at the age of 38. The old | man’s game is a young man’s pastime over the years. Gene Sarazen will not be invited to play in the National Capital open tour- ney if it is held this year at the Ken- wood Golf and Country Club.

Big Bill, he points out, is always in condi- tion, and all that he does is 80 easily done as to entail no punish~ ing strain upon his physical sys- tem. There is talk in the tennis world of some private matches this Winter be- tween Ellsworth Vines and Tilden, the design being to sharpen up the youth- ful Californian’s game against the strongest two-set competition that the world in all probability has to offer him. Tt would be the best possible experience for Vines as he prepares himself for the position of spearhead of the U. S. A’s drive to bring back the Davis Cup next Summer. A great deal of talk among_tennis experts was heard at the Tilden- Richards championship match at Madi- son Square Garden As to the relative ability of Vines and Tilden. Certainly no two men rival each other so closely in point of service cannonade and withering forehand drives. Vines’ Course Defended. Watching the lanky Philadelphian smother Vinnie Richards the other night, thought of what Tilden is and what he is doing with his life got all tangled up in the reports from Los Angeles that Vines was going to.drop out of college for the remainder of the year and devote himself to developing his form in tennis. Holcombe Ward, chairman of the Davis Cup Committee of the U. 8. L. T. A, wired Vines strongly advising him not to drop out of college, but Vines, who evidently has a mind of his own, rejected the advice. He will concentrate upon tennis throughout the Winter, Spring and Summer and re- sume his course at the University of Southern California next September. Well, is this so terrible? At first blush the tendency was to commeént adversely upon Vines' tennis preéposses- sion. Somewhat in this mood the writer sat watching Tilden at the Garden wielding his racquet so superbly, making light of his 39 years by an agility, a dexterity and a skill that but two or three of the world's lawn tennis players could equal, or perhaps offset. And thought occurred that his popularity abroad, his ine fluence internationally as a sportsman and .h gex:;l‘emn;n and an American are very tangible things. They mean some- thing deimu.-. > " Tilden Held Inspiration. To youngsters his exploits are an in= spiration, his name a talisman, career a moral lesson in decent conduct 'on the court and off the court. Youth needs hetoes, and experience of Ameér- ican youth has demonstrated many generations that boyish admira- tion of protagonists of sport is thoroug! ly leno esome and constructively bene- ficial If Tilden at a comparatively early age had dropped his racket and e into business, would the world have been the better for his entrance into the marts of trade? A broker, say. Or & lawyer, or a physlcun—myv.hxnfi One could say there are already enoug brokers in the world—perhaps 00 many at present. And there are plenty of physicians, lawyers and business men But some- how the boys of the Nation react to the Tildens, the Vineses, the Ray Steckers, Ernie Pinckerts, the Babe Ruths and BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, January 9.—Jack Curley, who knows a great 4o | the like—because there are so few of them in their chosen professions. So it may well be that no great calamity will follow Vines' decision to drop two terms of college and play lawn tennis. It might, indeed, be—consider~ ing all related values—that our nation- al life would be the gainer if he never returned to college, but pursued a blaz- ing course upward and upward into the enduring planetary areas of tennis. If this be apostasy, at least it is mot hypocrisy, of which sport and life gen- erally are already too full. ADELPHITES CHALLENGE.
