In the preliminaries, to be held at virtually all duckpin plants in the Metropolitan area, there will be no set schedules. Originally it was planned to announce a daily list of contestants. However, there are several stipulations. All qualifying sets must be rolled by next Saturday night, the bowlers must roll at least two to an alley and if the games are shot in the afternoon the manager of ar establishment will be privileged to charge the regular night fee vf 20 cents a game. The bowl-as-you-please arrangement is made practicable by the abundance of drives available during the league recesses.

So popular is the Scottish game at the big service club, which has in the neigh- borhood of 2,000 members, that dur- ing the season, starting time must he reserved nearly every day. The course is so crowded that it is probably truc it has more play than that of any other private club about the Capital. But golf was only one of several major sports contemplated by Gen. Sum- merall and his associates in the organ- ization of the club. Its record of growth is phenomenal when it is recalled that only a half dozen years ago there was nothing out there in the hills but an old ramshackle structure built originally as the old Knights of Columbus club house. Searching about for a spot on | which to construct the great united | service sport project for Washington, | the founders of the club chose this site. | looking out over the Potomac toward Washington and down into a valley which has seen its share of history- making episodes in wartime. Today the Army-Navy Country Club probably is the largest club in point of member- ship around Washington. Certainly there is more golf activity there than at any other club two _complete 18-hole courses and an added 9-hole layout available for the service golfers. On a piece of land northwest of the club | house, broken by hills and valleys and of terrain_ for golf, the new 18- | hole layout is to be constructed. It | may be started next year. Meanwhile, | the old course, the only bunkerless golf | course around Washington, is in use. | and continues to have heavy play in |, good weather. But golf alone was not the idea of | the origgnal sponsors. Tennis is a ma- | jor sport at the Army-Navy Club: there is a large swimming pool which is im- mensely popular 1 the members in the Summer end it is planred in the future to have at least two polo fields down in the flat of the valley wherein lies the present course. They are go- | getters, thcse men behind the service | club out there in Virginia. With true Army push, they are going somewhere in a hurry. Already their achieve- | ments by way of country club develop- ments are outstanding in a city Where! most people thought there were plenty | of country clubs. They held their first | annual invitation golf tcurney last Spring, and, according to present plans, | will repeat the event each year. John | C. Shorey won the initial tourney.

The whole team, Jacobus said, is wide open, but observers felt there. was little question as to Sarazen's selection. The team will be selected under a new system this year, Jacobus revealed. The heads of the P. G. A.'s 25 sectional organizations will be asked to submit to the team’s personnel. and on that basis the squad will be selected. The matches will be played at South- port June 26 and 27, a week before the British open, in which the Amer- | icans also will participate. 'HOGSETT OF DETROIT WINS REGULAR BERTH Work of Indian Twirler in Last Campaign Justifies Regard of Manager Harris. IN surveying his pitching plans for next season, Bucky Harris, manager of the Detroit Tigers, admits freely he is counting heavily on Elon Ches- ter (Chief) Hogsett, powerfully framed Indian lefthander, to do a full share of regular duty, and on the strength of his performances during the 1932 cam- | cede that the Tiger pilot is not apt to be disappointed During the early part of the last season Hogsett was used principally for relief purpcses, but as the race wore on and some of the other Tiger hurlers began to show signs of the strain in kecping the club battling fcr a first-division berth Harris grad- | ually increased the number of regular assignments to his Indian stalwart with the result that Hogsett blossomed forth as a pitcher of unusual promise and dependability. In all, the Chief won 11 games and lost 9. Hogsett is a full-blooded Cherokee Indian and when he was with the Mon- treal club some of the Iroquois took him into their society, giving him the name of “Ranantasse,” which .means “Strong Arm.” The cognomen fits him | admirably, for he is a powerful fellow, | standing 6 feet 1 inch and weighing 1200 pounds, and there appears to be left arm. The chief was born in Brownell Kans.,, November 3, 1903, and spent | some time at Bethany College in Ne- braska before entering professional base ball. His first contract was with Independence in 1925, and a few | months later he joined Cushing. Also, |that same season, Hogsett was pur- | chased by Toronto and turned over to Fort Worth in 1926. | He spent most of the 1927 season with Decatur and Wheeling. and the followinz vear found him with Evans- ville, when he was bought by the Tigers, who released him on option to Montree] for the 1929 season. Re- called at the close of that race, he put in all of the 1930 season with the Ti- gers, tock another turn in the Inter- naticnal League in 1931. this time with | Toronto, and last_nSpring came back | once more to the Tigers. | now confident Hogsett has Hartis is had all the seasoning he ever will need and that the coming eampaign will see the big Indian southpaw playing a Tigers’ pitching | the 1933 season. celved no reports of any fish being caught the past week. There are plenty of hungry bass in the Potomac |around and below Washington just walting to attack a live minnow. but with plenty of snow on the ground and | ice on the shores of the river, anglers seeking bass have been conspicuous by their absence. However, dyed-in-the- wool anglers are just waiting to try out more warm days will see them ventur- ing forth again. A majority of anglers, however, have | packed away their fishing tackle and are turning their thoughts to 1933. Last Thursday Commissioner Henry of Fisheries, Rod and Stream’s radio | speaker, asserted that angling next year in this vicinity is, of course, dependent on what conservationists have done in the past, and it also is dependent on what nature may decide to do in the future. He said droughts, freshets, freezing, pollution, and a half a dozen similar considerations may intervene to either harm or improve next season's fishing. APT.

Anyhow the Strangler has emerged from his shell at last and in a letter to Stan Baumgartner, wrestling writer of the Philadelphia Ledger, gives his account of the famed fiasco. It follows: Dear Stan | I read with interest your account of the now notorious match between Steele | and myself. I might say that it came as a great relief among the alibis that are ‘ being published wherever room may | permit, May I both weep and wail. however, over the years you added to my alread: “ripe old age.” I was born in 1891—so add it up the way we used to add in the old days, and see if it counts to 47. Of course, if I was 47 I would be more proud of what I have been able to do than I am now. But I feel that at my | age, to have gone out and gotten myself in tip-tcp shape and to have defeated > much younger man, a younger man | touted as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, was an accomplishment J can_rightfully brag about. “Why haven't we heard as much about how Lewis won as we have about how Steele lost?" is a question I have heard asked the last few days. Perhaps the answer is that I did win, and there- fore need no alibis. This much I will say, Ray Steele was defeated strictly on the square. That he chose to foul when he found himself unable to continue was not my fault, and I regret that some of the spo: writers and others have been misled by alibis from those who cannot take de- feat in the same spirit as I may be old. Stan, as athletes go, but if I am as blind, as fat, as crippled as I have been painted, then the wrestling game has certainly attracted | some very poor athletes to its ranks in the last 10 years. Just quote me as saying that I am ready any day to wrestle the man now recognized in your State as champion, and that if it will make him feel any casier he can bring his policeman, Mr. Steele (if Mr. Steele hasn't been fired) into the ring with him. I believe I can beat them both in the same ring in the same night. Anyway, I am a better wrestler than I am a typist, so better let the little old broken down machine rest in peace. May the holidays bring you much Joy, and may the new year bring you health and prosperity. sg_:gerély. HARVARD CHESS VICTOR Tournament Honors.
