THE SUNDAY STAR WASHINGTON, D. (., APRIL 10, 1932 PART FIVE Youngsters on Sandlots of Washington Take Their Base Ball Very Seriously | WANT THER “ADS' INBIG: HEADLINES Utilize Tricky Methods of Repairing Win Streaks. Dodging Tough Foes. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JRE. ‘ ELLO, is this The Star H paper?” It's a little quivering voice over a sports department| phone. i “Yes, son, what can we do for you?” we reply, and at the same | time realize there is no question | of Spring having arrived. The | kid base ball teams are at it again. “W-will you put sumpin’ in the paper for me?” I-it's an ad,” continues the shaky little voice. Ordinarily we would inform’the party at the other end that he has been given the wrong department, that what he wants is the advertising depart- ment, but experience has told us that the ad sought is not of the paying kind, “All right, let's have it we en- courage. “Put in, will you, that the Babe Ruth Insects beat th' Walter Johnsons in a close game, 22 to 2? And, mister, can you that Willie Smith pitched and t allow a hit or run, and got two homers, and a three-base hit and two two-baggers.” Just for fun we ask who is giving the information. Our suspicions are Willie Smith." right, Willie, we'll fix it up.” ks, mister, and put it in big headlines, can yu?” sald Willle as he hung 3 HAT'S a typical request—big head- That's what they all want. hey don't care much what yQu s2y. Just so you say it in big headlines. Does the fact that an article never appears with the headlines as dictated discourage 'em? It does not. Even should the headlines as contributed be all right from the standpoint of telling the story, grammar and in other essen- tials, there is about one chance in a thousand that they would be used, for primarily a head has to balance as to the nunber of worde it contains. It is to a considerable extent a matter of mathematics, The habit of sending in stories with headlines written is not peculiar to the young sandlotters. It also applies to some of the older ones. Perhaps they feel that in sending in stories with the heads written they are being help- ful. In this event they do not merit | criticism. But you would think that after never seeing their headlines used | they would get hep to the situation | and save themselves some work. 1 OMETIMES the young sandlotters are more direct, if not actually dictatorial. For instance, a youngster called the other day and without st:gg\ng to give | his name or ask with m he was| talking, blurted out: | “Put this down, bud,” and then with- out hesitation reeled off the following: “Bearcats Win__ Another, swamp Northeast Giants, 28 to 3, for twenty- | sixth triumph, seek more action with strong teams.” “That’s the headline,” our informant brusquely explained, and still not giving | us a chance to get a word in edgewise, continued: “The Bearcats gained their twenty- sixth straight win of the season when they swamped Northeast Giants, 28 w0 3. They want games with strong teams in their class (has there ever been a sandlot team that wanted a game with & weak team?). Call Lincoln, etc., etc.” “And that's the story,” he said, and without further ado, hung up the phone. YOL'H. sandlotter simply loaths to be put in a false light and often when a mistake is made has his own definite idea as to the form the lished correction should take. that has become a classic in newspaper circles here is told by Bob Considine of the Post sports stafl.

HARLOTTESVILLE, Va., 9 —Under the pressure of fre- quent games the base ball strengths and weaknesses of the Southern Conference members in the South Atlantic States are beginning to show. What is to be expected in late April and early May will be made even more clear in the 10 games scheduled for next week. North Carolina, Duke and Virginia have appeared in the strong nines so far. Only two of the eight weeks of college base ball have passed, however, and re- April sults of former years have shown that | the starting winner does not always | wind up on top. An injury to the arm | of a star pitcher, an accident to & crack | infielder, a catcher’s split finger, or any | one of a number of things may change the course of a season. At least one game is scheduled for| every day next week by seven of the eight conference teams in Maryland.

Managing the left foot in the process of pivoting is one of the most difficult problems & new golfer has to learn, particularly if he has passed that age when the body is supple. When the weight is being shifted on the backswing, the beginner is almost certain to relieve the bur- den on the left foot too much, de- stroying balance. So much weight has been transferred to the right foot that only the left toe remains on the ground This means un- certainty in the downswing, for the weight cannot be restored to the left side smoothly. Only the left heel and that por- tion of the foot above the ball go By the Associated Press. | ORFOLK, Va., April 9.—In the the National Bowling Tourna- ment here today, two records were established in the men’s and women's double events, breaking | all previous marks. Choster Bild of | Washington and Eddie Blakeney of | Baltimore shot games of 284, 254 and 263 | for a total of 801 pins to take top place in the doubles. Bild had a high game of 146 and a set of 377, while Blakeney shot 138, 140 and 146 for a 424 total. Polly Dozier and Elva McCurdy, rep- | | resenting Richmond, set a new women's | tournament record 'with a 694 total, breaking up the tie with a Baltimore team. Dozier shot a 344 set and Mc- Curdy shot a set of 350. Henry Hiser of Hyattsville won the five-year grand average medal for na- | tional tournament competition, when | he rolled 1121 in his all-events to- night to bring his total to 5.458 for the five tourneys. His all-events total landed him in seventh place. Ollie Pacini of Washington rolled 1161 in his all-events to place second He shot 397 in doubles, 400 in singles | (placing him in seventh place) and | 364 with the Northeast Temple team. which was out of the money, with a 1,711 total. | Ed Blakeney, teammate of Pacini, | finished third in the all-events with | 1153. Hiser, in rolling his all-events, | shot 413 in singles, winning fourth | place. | Washington's two entrants in the National Junior and Boy Tournament, | the eliminations for which were held last Fall, rolled to victory. Bob Temple | took the junior crown with 604 for five | games and Bob Chalfonte outclassed the | boys’ field with 351. Temple, rolling with Polly Dozier in mixed doubles, went into fifth place with 677. | Other changes found the Connecticut | Blue Ribbons taking second place amcng the men’s teams with a 1832 score; Nick Tronsky and Bill Tato of the Rib- | bons placing third in the doubles with 766; Tronsky and Florence LeBarr nf‘ Connecticut taking second place in the mixed doubles with €81, and Catherine | Dixon, also of Connecticut, tying Betty | Hoffman of Washington for third place | in the women's singles with 349.

The ball and toes, though not squarely on the ground, remain to maintain a firm balance. Before the hands have traveled 2 feet on the down- swing, the heel should be back on the ground, to help in developing the full power of the swing. Bobby Jones' management of his left foot is ideal He never brings it up sharply from the ground and at the very top of the backswing the heel is not greatly lifted. The correct grip for holding a club means distance to your drive.

ENJOY DINNER DANCE 175 Brought Together by Varied Entertainment Program—Dr. Doran Presides. THE Dynamite Bowling League staged | its second annual dinner and dance | last night at Meridian Ma@sios, the occasion bringing together 175, in- cluding officials and members of the staffs of the Burean of Industrial Al-| cohol, the Burean of Customs, the | Bureau of Prohibition and the Internal Revenue Bureau.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER ARDHEADS have made their appearance in the Bay off Point Lockout and are being caught in nets, the writer learned on H a visit to Ridge, Md., five miles this side of the Point. These fish are not present in large numbers, but every net gets a small catch. A short spell of warm weather and these hard-biting denizens of the deep will be furnishing excellent sport in the Bay and its trib- | utaries. White perch have not reached the | vicinity of Washington, but the same warm spell that will advance the croak- ers farther upstream will bring the | white perch to the swift waters of the [ Potomac around Chain Bridge. | The fishermen at Ridge say that | while the shad are not so numerous at this time as they were last season, those being caught are of good size and | that the run of herring in the Bay is quite heavy. OMMISSIONER SWEPSON EARLE of the Conservation Department of Maryland tells us that trout fisher- | men were out in large numbers on the | opening day of the season. Not many trout have been landed, but those | hooked have been of pleasing size, some running from 10 to 14 inches. Com- | missicner Earle reiterated that a good many big rainbow trout were waiting | for lucky anglers, some measuring as much as 20 inches. | Tllegal catches of large and smnll-! mouth black bass in the Potomac | around Chain Bridge will be few and far between this season. Rod and | Stream has secuygd the co-operation of the Harbor Precinct and the game war- | dens of Maryland and Virginia to watch this evil the Potomac will be guarded from now on, and the men who snag bass or use | dip nets will be summarily dealt with |on the Canal road, announces that the ra and no excuses accepted, and that's | that. | From the number of phone calls re- ceived concerning the opening of the trout season in Virginia, many anglers | missed our recent publication, which' LONDOS T0 TACKLE PINETZKI THURSDAY Appearance of Champion Against Giant Due to Pack Auditorium.

The pair met several weeks ago, | Grobmier getth the decision when | Speers was knocked unconsclous after falling from the ring. Howard Cantonwine, who recently jumped from the Paul Bowser circuit, will make his first appearance here, tackling George Hagen in one of the preliminaries.

Rod and Stream | has been promised the names of the| streams planted and will publish them. EST VIRGINIA also opens her m-‘; son on the rainbow and brook trout on April 15. Theodore C. Fearnow, State fish culturist of that| State, informs us that the best trout fishing can be found in the South Branch of the Potomac from Pranklin to the Virginia line. The other streams | are Spring Run, located within a few miles of Petersburg: Thorn Creek, which enters the South Branch be-| tween Pranklin and Petersburg, and| | the North Fork of the South Branch, reached from Petersburg. | A bass angler, who has been using the Shenindoah River for years in his pis- catorial endeavors, paid us a visit the other day. The conversation turned to trout angling, and he said, “Yes, there are a lot of good streams in Virginia, but on some of them the anglers arc afraid to venture because of the moon- shiners.” He said that these makers of | illegal whisky did not ask questions, but | shot and then investigated. ‘The rearing pond of the local chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America, | on the Potomac neir Occuguan Bay. will be stocked in the near future.

HOUGH lacking famous Bowser names, a well bal- anced wrestling show is promised tomorrow night for patrons of the Bolling Field Ath- letic Association’s weekly offering. Sans some kind of an “uncrowned champion” for once, Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn nevertheless has lined up 10 grapplers of almost equal ngmty. though Karl Pojello and Pat McGill, principals in one of the two finish matches, stand out above the rest. Pojello, though laying no cham- plonship claims, is ized as one of the country’s blue-ribbon grap- plers, and possibly will be pushed to the limit by McGill, newcomer in ‘Washington. Bool Martin will exhibit one of the biggest waistlines in the busi- ness when he opposes Howard Can- tonwine in the other finish match. Cantonwine, a Midwestener, will appear here for the first time. The three preliminaries follow: Sam_ Cordovano, undefeated here, vs. Joe Massimo: Bull Garnon vs. Danny Winters and Rudy Laditzi vs. John "Siejack. The opening bout will get under way at 8:30 pm. Tickets are avail- able at Goldie Ahearn’s. Women will be taxed half price. TENNIS TO HAVE BIG INNING THIS MONTH Pro Tournament Featuring Tilden April 22-24 to Be Followed by Davis Cup Matches.
