BY FRANK GORRIE, Associated Press Sporte Writer. EATTLE, Wash., January 13 —When motor cycle cops in S Seattle aren't leading a pro-| = Cession in honor of Helene Madison they are chasing her with | official tags. A brilliant roadster came into her life recently and since then there has been no depression in the trafc division of the local police department. She goes everywhere with the top and the accelerator down. | But speeding slips mean nothing to this 17-year-old girl, who ranks as one of the greatest swimmers of all times Fifty miles an hour through traffic on the busiest street in town is just a breeze Speed fascinates her. In the water | ghe holds 16 world records and 58 « the 67 American marks in the free- style division. Travel to her is synon: mous with airpla; She likes to play poker, but she tosses the cards around 8 fast that there is nothing but misery in the game for others. Courts Film Fame. Right now she is beset with all the tremors and excitement of 17 growing up. Only in the past year has she Jearned to dance. She wants to be a movie actress. Clark Gable is “w-0-0-n- derf-u-u-ul.” 4 She pretends to smoke at parties, likes beer and thinks champagne is grand, par- ticularly when the bubbles get up your nose. And club sandwiches. Clothes have suddenly become tre- mendously important. They used to be the least of her worries. An old red sweater was her boon companion on her first trip East two years ago. But now! The absolute height of fashion, topped by & Princess Eugenie bonnet. Pretty. Smart. And with a little white poodle that resembles the business end of & new mop to add the final touch of tone. A Boy and a Diamond. Of course, there's a boy. And a dia- mond. “Puppy love” says her coach, Ray Daughters, “She’ll get over it." But she turned down an amateur tour of Europe last Summer because of this and that. Daughters says she is the hardest girl to handle he ever met. She has so much pep and vitality she exhausts every one around her on a trip. But | one week away and she's homesick. | Helene has two superstitions about her swimming and she is very serious indeed about them. One is an old gray bathrobe that al- ‘ways accompanies her to the side of the pool. The other is a black silk bathing suit, the one she broke her first rec- in. ord in. ‘The sult is worn out now and wouldn't the censors, but it must last until her reoerd-bruku'x-g career is over. Her compromise with the legal requirements is another suit worn over the old black one. Olympics Frighten Her. ‘The coming Olymglu in Los Angeles, | with the responsibility of carrying America’s burden in the women's races, | frighten her. Particularly, she is a prehensive of Magda Lemkey of Buda- pest, who is reported to have swum 100 meters in 1:092-5. Helene's record is 1:08 4-5 There is no off season in swimming for her, even when she is busy selling | insuranee. She competes for 11 months | in the year and trains hard the other | 30 days | She lists more boys than girls among | her friends. She wishes she had more | time to compete in track, basket ball, base ball, and hockey, but swimming won't let her. Most of all, she wishes she were a boy with a name like “Jim" or “Pete” | or “Bill.” Her middle name is Emma. | And for all her swimming ability, she | was 1921, when he batted .352. Ho'Ho! Ho! HER!

Independently wealthy, Roush ac- cepted unconditional release rather than fill a utility role at a small salary. | The veteran outfielder sald he *had enough money to retire. Roush reached the peak of brilliancy during the 1917-1924 seasons. He was the spark plug of the Reds' only world championship team in 1919 and led the National League in batting in 1917 and 1919. His greatest offensive year In 1927 Roush was traded to the Glants for George Kelley, first base- man, but remained out of base ball in 1930 as a result of saiary differences with the Giants. He was handicapped last year by the layoff and slowed down in fielding as well as batting. PLAY FAIRLAWN TONIGHT Mount Rainier A. C. Unlimited | Tossers Reorganize for SBeason. cannot dive a lick.

WHACKS OLYMPIC WINTER SPORT SQUAD| Fund Shortage Reduces Number of Athletes From 105 to 87. $350,000 Sought. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, January 13.—A short- age of funds has forced s 17 per cent reduction in the size of American Win- ter sports teams at the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, February 4-13. The American Olympic Committee has decided to shave its Winter sports | team from an original estimate of 105 | members to a minimum of 87. Under this plan no altermates will be car- ried. At the same time the committee an- | nounces it will seek $350,000 by public | subscription to cover the cost of equip- | ment, transportation and maintenance | of America's Olympic forces from the time of their selection in the final try- outs until the end of the games. A quota of 1 cent per person will be as- signed to all cities of more than 15,000 population. | ALEXANDRIA, Va, January 13— | John Pierpoint and Dick Perry, star for- | wards of the Del Ray A.

Leo will exercise against Dor De Laun. Rudy Dusek will take on Cy Williams and Doc Wilson will stretch sinews with Benny Ginsberg, ever good for a laugh. Corrigan, tall and strong, is & former collegian and more than ordinarily ambitious. He made his first Washington appearance against Rudy Dusek and lost, but vowed he'd pin Rudy after a bit more experi- ence. Corrigan is a colorful per- former and is distinguished by a pair of hilariously yellow mat pants.

S OSCAR HISER GETS A 421 Record Set for Hyattsville Alleys Marks Defeat of Hechts. HYATTSVILLE, Md., January 13.— Oscar Hiser of the Hyattsville team shot what is belleved to be a record set for the Arcade alleys here—421—as his combination swept its 3-game Dis- trict League match over Hecht Com- pany last night. The District League mark is 423, Hiser's string was 144, 141 and 136. Hyattsville's game scores were 622, 586 and 635 and Hecht Company had 532, 582 and 626. J. Harrison of Hecht, with 146, had high game. HERE wasn't a star bowler in the King's Palace line-up when the team's record in the National Capital League stood at 2 vie- tories and 16 defeats a few weeks ago. Today the same pin outfit boasts 22 wins and 23 losses and still hasn't a star. And Mort King, captain, has no def- inite reason for this amazing improve- ment, which found the Palacemen win- ing 20 of their last 27 games in one of the eity's fastest loops and numbering among their victims the National Pale Drys, Farnan's Shoes and Northeast Temple. King's only explanation is that the team is clicking. Even so, to most bowling fans it may require a vigorous stretching of the imagination to picture the Pale Drys Josing two games to a team which does not include on its roster a single star. WH]IN King's Palace dropped 16 of its first 18 games, it appeared as though the club was ticketed for a sure last place. But Mort King, Dave Cox, Watts, Estabrook, Charlie Phillips, Al Popkins and Joe Toomey have that club out of the cellar plenty high and dry. After losing enough games to blast for sure their title chances this starless crew knocked off Barnes and Young & Simon for three apiece and then won 2-to-1 victories over Takoma Park, Farnan’s and the National #ale Drys in succession. It followed by win- ning four out of six from Northeast Temple in a double-header and wound up last night with a similar triumph over Judd & Detwiler in another dou- ble bill, [OHN BLICK has carded an after- noon match between two duos of bowling's brightest stars for Sat- urday in his new Convention Hall “stadium” and for the evening’s attrac- | tion has booked two bowling base ball |stars.

Sam Rice, vetoran outfielder of the Griffs, and Eddie Rommell, veteran piteher of the A's, will hook up in a special aingles match that will not only prove colorful but slso produce some good bowling.

By the Associated Press. LEVELAND, January 13.—When the Clevelaud base bell club goes South five weeks from now it will be just about the same outfit, bright apots, tarnishes and all, that opened so hopefully a year ago. The Tribesmen romped to the front of the league last May. But their re- verses began with a succession of de- feats at the hands of the Athletics and there was no stopping them until they had slipped back to fourth place. If they do any better the coming season it will be because two or three of the stars refurbish their shields and one or two promisizg youngsters earn their spurs. Wes Ferrell Is Best Bet. Manager Roger Peckinpaugh'’s bright- | est spot is Pitcher Wesley Ferrell. The | North Carolinian is supposed to have had not so good a year last season. At times he resembled a brokendown phe- nomenon, especially after he pitched one of the season's two no-hit games. But he won 22 games and thus became the first young pitcher since 1913 to win 20 or more games in each of his first three seasons. In addition, he set a couple of batting records for itchers, hitting 9 homers and driving n 30 tallies. It is the infleld that is giving Peck- inpaugh a headache. - But if Third Baseman Willie Kamm, brought in late. in the season, continues to deliver the one-fourth than it was last year. Eddie Morgan. who finished high in the batting averages, is back because the Indians were unable to trade him anywhere. But his first base job is at stake. If Bruce Connatser, a recruit from New Orleans, is able to perform with the bat he probably will displace the former Tulane star as a first sack- er, and he has shown prowess in the past with that weapon. In that event Morgan will go back to fly-chasing, where the OCleveland outer garden already boasts such lumi- naries as Joe Vosmik, Earl Averill and Dick Porter. Mentague Again at Shert. Peckinpaugh hoped to get a good shommg for Morgan. Failing, he prob- ably will rely upon young Eddie Mon- tague. Montague could hold up his end of the combination, despite inexperi- ence, if he were paired wih the right second baseman, Peck says. Johnny Hodapp, at second, had an un- fortunate year. If he gets rid of his charley-horse and plays his corking game of 1930, when he had a .354 bat- ting average and a league record for assists, he may make the Indians a factor in the pennant race. If he doesn’t, the Indians probably will fall back on Johnny Burnett. Chips From the Mapleways BY FRANCIS E.

BY W. R. McCALLUM. ROUND the Columbia Coun- try Club’s golf course, scene of the national open cham- pionship in 1921, much of the golf drama about the National Capital has been staged. This year Columbia is slated again to be the scene of a major cham- plonship and possibly another major event, for the champion- ship tourney of the Middle Atlan- tic Golf Assoclation is slated to be played there, and probably the sectional qualification round for the amateur title event will be played also at Columbia. Over this classic course, rated as one | of the best in the Fast, most of the | great golfers of the world have played, | either as competitors in the open cham- | plonship, as exhibition players or as guests of Fred McLeod, the little Scot who is part of the Columbia tradition. Most of the great figures in the world of golf have had w whack at the rec- ord of the course, but to wee Freddie McLeod must the palm for shatter- ing the of 70 by the largest mar- %1!1. Although the official record for he Columbia course stands today at 69 atrokes for hyrolmlonlh, McLeod has an unofficial record of 65 made from the championship tees. This score is five better than the par of the lay- out and has been made twice by the same player. OLUMBIA’S official amateur record is 71, made first by Bobby Jones in the 1921 national open, and tied in 1929 in the qualificstion round of the annual invitation tourney by W. Carl- ton Evans and er Peacock. Many scores of 71 and better have been made by amateur golfers at Columbia, but 71 remains the official amateur reeord. Such players as Miller B. Stevinson, Everett Eynon, Harry Pitt, George Voigt, Roland MacKenzie and Tommy Bones have done scores of 71 or better at Columbia, but 71 remains as the official mark in medal competition, which is the only way official course records are made. Roland MacKenze has played the course in 66 strokes from the back tees, byt this mark was made in a friendly match. plies to McLeod’s brace e official records for the layout is 69, in 1921 by Jim Barnes, the open, and tied in the same tourney by Alf Hackbarth. McLeod's 655 came within three days of each other when the little North Berwick Scot had a “hot” streak back in 1927. In those three days he scored 34—31 and 33—32 for his brace of 65s. MeLeod has twice played the last nine holes in 30 strokes. finest bit of individual achieve- ment ever recorded at Columbia was the three years ago a M. Standifer, Donald Woodward and D'Arcy Banagan. In this match Diegel, 83 usual, had bets on 68, 69, 70 and 71, which is considerable course as hard as Columbia. He played the first nine holes in 39 strokes ich t 68 bet practically outside all mathematical chance of being won and jeopardized all his wagers. Stand- ing on the tenth tee Standifer laid 50 to 1 against Diegel playing the nine in 30 strokes and 100 to 1 against him scoring the nine in 29 strokes. Diegel took a dollar’s worth of both bets and then proceeded to turn that last nine inside out. Clic! like a machine, holing only one lengthy putt and watching two others stop within a hair’s breadth of the cup, Diegel gl\yed that last nine in 29 to score a 88 and win all his bets, including the 50 to 1 and the 100 to 1 wagers made against a 30 and a 29 for the last nine. That score undoubtedly is the finest performance ever turned in by any golfer over the Columbia layout, where more good golfers have played than any course around the Capital. ’I'!E Columbia course today is prac- tically the same on which the open championship was "i?fi:d more than 10 years ago. The d green has been changed and the fourth hole has been slightly lengthened; new eens at the sixth, ninth and tenth oles have been changed, but so far as shot making is concerned the course is the same as that on which all the lead- ing golfers of the world strove to win the national open in 1921. In that year Bobby Jones was just another amateur —an heroic figure, to be sure, and the unerowned king of the Simon pure brigade—but still a crown prince with- out & major crown. Bobby opened that championship by | at the left of the first fairway, then proceeded to grind out a steady round. He qualified comfortably (in that year the U. 8. G. A. required only one round of qualification) and then set out in the championship proper. He moved along without any considerable mishap until the third round, where he was several strokes back of Barnes, who opened with 74-69 to lead the fleld at the end of the first 36 holes. In that third round—termed by most profes- sionals the crucial round of the open champlonship—Bobby seemed well on his way to the top, and certainly to a new course record, for he started with some such ?repo-uroul score as 3, 3 3, 3 over holes whose par is 4, 4, 4, Then the young man from Georgia pre ceeded to blow up with a loud explosion, hooking two balls over the fence at the tly 9. That cham- | | pionship also saw the win the open the following year and carve for himself one of the finest repu- tations for winning any American pro ever has enjoyed. Gene Sarazen, the smiling little Italian-American from New i5’«711(. finished fairly well up in that championship, after playing part of the distance with Bobby Jones.

By the Associated Press. GUA CALIENTE, Mexico., Jan- uary 13.—The youthful among golf's grenadiers, turned back in each of California’s four tournaments, encamped below the bor- der in Baja California today, seeking to capture Agua Caliente's third annual $15,000 open. The rising generation has bowed to the veteran campaigners, but to walk off with first prize in this, the largest money tournament in the world de spite the cut from $25,000, would be considered a distinct victory. But there was to be no marching of the army of 101 professionals and 27 amateurs today if rain fell. Yester. day’s shower left the course soft. OM- clals said added moisture would force a postponement of hostilities until Thursday, bringing the 72-hole affair to a close Sunday. IP youth was to have its fling, the aging aces claimed to know nothing of it. Gene Sarazen of New York, who inaugurated the championship two years ago, showed by his strong finish in the Los Angeles open that he probe ably will be on his game in the quest of $5,000 top money. Then there are Johnny Golden of Stanford, Conn., and George von Elm of Los Angeles, who tied for the first and second prizes a year ago; Wiffy Cox of Brooklyn, winner at S8an Pran- cisco; Harry Cooper of Chicago, Pasa« dena’s champion, and MacDonald Smith gnN;whYkz;;k‘. who dismayed competi- y the Los Angel the third time. P A Texan and two former Lone Star staters appear to be the most promisin, of the more youthful. These are Dicl Metz of S8an Angelo, Tex., who tied for second in the Los Angeles open: Ray Mangrum, now of Los Angeles but for- merly from Waco, Tex, and Ralph auldlhl of Detroit, former Texas ama- ur. Eighteen holes will be played each day, with the low 64 and tles after 36 holes continuing through the final two rounds. e ENDS NAMED CAPTAINS Ray Hudson and Wayne Chambers to Lead G. U. and G. W.
