W, 3525 Woodside . 3 Kiine (R. 1 Avenue No. 1) Congress Tourney at Norfolk, Va. Competition considerably keener | from bowlers of rival cities is certain | to be met with in the big bowling | tourney of the year, which opens | March 22 in the Virginia seaport city. ‘Washington's great pin colony, though not slated for action in the N. D. B. C. tournament until April 2, which is “Washington day,” will, in lit. tle more than two weeks, shiff | tention Southward with a view toward | gaining a slant on just what will have | to be rolled to win the eight United Btates titles at stake. And the figures promise to be large | ones. One of the pioneer cities and | undoubtedly the center of duckpin | bowling, the Capital already this sea-| son has been made aware of the grow- | ing prowess of Baltimore, Richmond | and New England pinspillers in inter- | city matches. | Add to that the assurance from no less an authority than Georg L. Ise-| mann, secretary of the N. D. B. C,| who returned yesterday from the tour- | nament city, that pinfall in the com- | ing titular tests will be considerably | higher than in any of the four pre-| vious tourneys. Pin plants of the sea- fort town are equipped with the regu- | ation “New England gutters,” whichi differ from those in most South At- lantic section alleys in that they are Tounded instead of square at the pin| end. Local bowlers have compiled an en- viable record during the four previous national tournaments, winning 21 of the 33 United States titles, but this year's event is likely to prove a much sterner test than Capitalites have here tofore been called upon to face. YT is interesting to note the optimism with which Isemann is looking for- ward to the entries. The N. D. B. ©. secretary confidently expects 300 teams and from more cities than ever sent representatives before. | This, despite that Norfolk that does rank as & major bowling power, and, of course, cannot support, in the way of entries, what might be expected of a city such as Washington and Balti- more. Yet the Norfolk natives appear to be giving all they've got and out- of-towners are not letting the trip stop them. Incidentally, reports emanating from reliable sources have it that the 1933 | National Tournament will be awarded | to Hartford, Conn., despite that it, too, does not rank with Washington and Baltimore. Hartford, however, is said to boast s modern 60-alley pin plant and is as hot & bowling town as can be found for its size. OWLING fans were subjected to keen disappointment this year with | the runaway races in most of the Capital's major bowling loops. But one at least, the Washington Women'’s | League, is doing its share toward giv- ing league followers a thrill Tuesday night at the Columbia alleys, where the fair stars do their bowling, is certain to ply plenty of fireworks. After holding the lead since the open- ing of the season, the Columbians last week were swept from first place by University Park and Lorraine Gull, while the Beeques, defending champs, and Shamrocks went into 2 tie for the top. This week's matches will find the | Beeques and Columbians tying up in an all-important battle. This is & break for the Shamrocks as they op- | pose the sixth-place Keenos. A sweep for the Irish would make it tough for the other contenders, regardless of the outcome of their match. Entry blanks for the Washington Women's Association tournament, to open Aprll 25 at the Columbia now are available at all alleys and must be turned in by midnight, April 16. 'A GSORDING to a news dispatch from Richmond today, a three-cornered event between Washington, Baltimore and Richmond bowlers is planned for May, with one block of five games to be rolled in each of the three cities. Other details, except for the an- nouncement that sizeable cash prizes | will be awarded, were not given out. Richmond has not met with any de- . gree of success in intercity competi- tion with Capital and Oriole pinners but it is belleved that the Virginia | Douglas No. 2's. | singles matches with R. D Division of Blister Rust Control in the Department of Agriculture, ived up to his reputation in the Agri- cultural League last week as a “pinch | bowler” extraordinary. Filling in for an absent member of the Blister Rust team, Detwiler shot games of 128, 117 and 120, aiding his team to win two games from Accounts and maintain first place. Norman Groff, one of the younger | bowling Groffs, broke an all-time Odd Fellows’ League record at Convention | Hall last week by shooting a set of 416. | He started with 152, dropped to 109 | and finished with 155. Thanks to & surprising good set by | Anacostia M. E., leadership in the East | Washington Church League now is ‘While Anacostia was owning the leading Ingram No. 1 team twice, Douglas No. 2 swept over ‘Waugh to assume the lead. ALTER SNYDER, anchor bowler for the Service Department team | the Arcade-Sunshine League, of assured himself of another slice of prize money last week by shooting a season record, 97 flat game. Overlooked in the general melee fol- lowing Joe Pricci’s world record set of 497 in the Recreation League last week was the fact that his Rex team, as a result, st about clinched the pennant. It has @ six-game lead today. ULLI, BUTLER WIN, LOSE Clean Up Singles, Drop Doubles to Richmond Girl Bowlers.

L. Commerce Gom. Com e sensggugn loud and vociferous wails against | the “balloon” ball, which had been | | forced upon them by the national‘ golf powers, this year there has been practically no conversation | about the golf ball. Apparently the golfers who hold the | bag on golf expenses—that great throng | | of players who consider it an achieve- | | ment when they shatter the century | mark—are satisfied with the new goif | ball, weighing 162 ounces and 168 inches in diameter. | "1f they are dissatisfied they have kept mighty quiet about it, for the loud | and long yelps of disgust that started back in the Winter of 1931 and reached | a crescendo in Midsummer of last year, | are missing this year. Golfing America is going back to work—with a new ball that apparently satisfies the horny- handed sons of the bunkers. | ‘ If the new ball doesn't go so far as the old “rabbit” ball, no one has| | squawked about it, and if it doesn't | | putt as well as the old pill, John the | | Duffer hasn't started yelling yet when |it rims the cup. All'is quiet on the | bunkered front of golfdom so far as the | ball is concerned, 2nd the noble experi- ment of the U. S. G. A. has reached a | stable operating base. | Certairly around Washington, a city | where more golf is played than in any | other city of comparable size, golfers | are satisfled with the new ball. There | have been practically no protests this vear against the ball, since it became available early during the Winter. Just what effect the new sphere will | have on scoring cannot be determined until tournaments demonstrate the effi- | cacy of the new pill. In the California and Southern tournaments the scoring has been a shade lower with the 1.62 than with the old 1.55, better known as | |the “balloon” ball. 'This, nothwith- | | standing that many of the pros claimed | the 1.55 was a better ball. | Fred McLeod of Columbia, a former | national champion, is one of the bitter- enders who claim that the “balloon” | ball is a better ball than the present legal sphere and supports his belief in his own play. Freddie has been play- ing better golf this Winter than he has played in many years, breaking 70 sev- | eral times at Columbia. He plays noth- ing but the “balloon.” tl | here. 891,456 A ANOTHER GOLF TITLE T0 MAUREEN ORCUTT Slugs From Tee to Beat Mrs. Lake in Final of Florida East Coast Event, 5 and 4. By the Assoclated Press. ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., March 5.—| Maureen Orcutt of Englewood, N. J., today won her second golfing crown | of the Winter when she defeated Mrs. | R. C. Lake, New Orleans, 5 and 4, in he Florida East Coast tournament Miss Orcutt outdrove her opponent, the former Southern and trans-Mis- sisstppi champion, 10 to 25 yards from virtually every tee. The match was played in the rain. Miss Orcutt started winning with a par four on the first, and made it three up when she reached the fifth, where | sne holed a 20-footer for a deuce. She lost two of the next three holes but won the ninth to go two up at the turn. Coming in, Miss Orcutt was one under fours with unbeatable golf, de- spite wpissing a drive on the fourteenth, where she won anyway when Mrs. Lake had an unplayable lie on her tee shot and lost a stroke. Cleveland shgrpshooter, out of the first- day pairings at noon today. In his stead, Clarence Clark, Bloomfield, N. J., was named to pair with Tony Manero, New York, in quest of top money in the annual golfing classic. Tomorrow's 36-hole play at Miami Country Club will see Willie MacFar- lane, New York, and Wiffy Cox, Brook- lyn, shoot the first guns in defense of their 1931 championship. They are paired with Herman Barron, FPort Chester, N. Y, and Johnny Watson, South Bend, Ind., and are seeded No, 1 pair.

J, and Mike Brady, New York. - Winners of tomorrow’s matches will meet in 36-hole play Monday, with finals scheduled for Wednesday. Gullible Gull | The best part of the present situa- | tion is that under the golf ball ruling | of the U. S. G. A. announced September | 13, 1931, both the “balloon” ball of 1.55 | ounces and 1.68 inches and the present | recommended ball of 1.62 ounces and | 1.68 inches are legal golf balls. Either | | ball may be plaved at the discretion of | | the individual. That may be the reason | | for the absence of squawks about the | | ball. Johr J. Duffer can play either ! ball and be entirely within his rights. RESIDENT D. L. THOMAS of the District Golf Association expects within a few days to reach a de- cision on the course over which the| sectional trials for the open champion- | | ship in the Middle Atlantic sector will | be played in June. Columbia has been mentioned as the venue of the sectional | rounds, but it is hardly likely that Columbia will want to hold in June the sectional rounds and the championship | tourney of the Middle Atlantic Gol Association also. Congressional and In- dian Spring have been offered for the sectional rounds for the open and it is p‘m‘;b:ble the test will go to one of these clubs. Something will have to be done to keen sea-gulls off the putting greens at East Potomac Park if the big birds who roosted on the greens last Friday con- tinue to do the damage they did to the second green. Al Farr, manager at East | Potomac, reports that thousands roosted on the course during the heavy rain and that the second green of Course A was partially ruined by the gulls, ap- | parently searching for worms in the soft ground. A piece of the green was dug out and on several other spots the grass was scraped away. ‘ | Gen. D. C. Shanks, who has been the | main figure in the tournaments of the | Senior Golf Association of Chevy Chase Club for several years, will not take such an active part in the senior affair this year. Rear Admiral Montgomery M. Taylor, who also has been active in the management of the affairs of the senfor golfers, is in China with the | Asiatic Fleet. The seniors hold their annual meeting in April. ANDY ARMOUR, Congressional pro, is strictly on his game these days. __Sandy has been playing frequently with Jack McCarron and other mem- bers of the club and has been scoring consistently in the low 70s. At least twice in the past fortnight the Scot from of 71s and he has been below 75 with | clock-like regularity. Sandy's putter, ;.Slplark Plug,” is behaving particularly | ell. What is the hardest finishing hole around Washington? Columbia, Indian | Spring, Burning Tree, Kenwood, Chevy Chase and Wocdmont all have finish- | ing holes that are hard par 4s, but many | of the members at Washington believe | their par 4 eighteenth is just about as tough a par 4 as any finishing hole around the Capital. The hole measures only about 420 yards from the back tee, | but the second shot is all uphill, and almost always it must carry to the | green to stay there, for the terirtory |around the green all slopes downhili. Few of the golfers at Washington can reach the eighteenth green in two shots under present turf conditions and not 50 many of them get home in two under favorable conditions. WOMEN IN GOLF FINAL Marion Hollins Meets Mrs. Green at Pebble Beach Today. DEL MONTE, Calif., March 5 (#).— * | Marion Hollins, Santa Cruz, Calif., for- mer national champion, and Mrs. Ro; Green, Los Angeles, will meet. tomor. row in a 36-hole match for the Pebble Beach women's golf championship. Miss Hollins today won a semi-final | match from Mrs. Edwin Stevens, Green- | wich, Conn., 5 and 4, while Mrs. Green defeated Mrs. A. H. Means, Sait Lake City, 5 and 3.

Farr hit a fine tee shot 200 yards down the course, right in the middle of the fairway and right toward a group of roosting gulls. He saw the ball stop in the middle of the fairway, and he swears it was in plain sight after it L But when he clmp%d the spot i | Garbles Gol? Ball May Have Been Egg to Bird, but Its Error Upset Start of Potomac Park Match. there was no golf ball. Farr and Burns hunted and hunted, and still no ball was seen. So Farr went back to the tee and drove another ball, under the lost-ball rule, and won the hole, for Burns made a mistake or two and Farr got a par 4. They played the second hole and drove off at the third. Down ixf the middle of the third fairway they found a Stray gol ball, which Farr identified as the ball he had driven off the first tee. He says it had his private marking on it and was the same ball he lost on the first hole. His only explanation is that one of the gulls picked it up, thinking it was an egg, flew with it down toward Hains Point and then, discovering that the tough cover could not be penetrated by his beak, dropped it on the third fairway. And if you believe that one, there may be more. Farr says these sea- gulls do funny things. ) > ACH and every leaf of tobacco is parboiled — parched — broiled and ven ultra-violent sun ray treatment .jfore we allow it to be made into a King Edward.
