.. TS HERE TO STAY [N L L [3 . IN STAR'S TOURNEY Expert as Well as Duffer Is Happy—M. C. James, With 666, Takes Lead. BY R. D. THOMAS. T was apparent today, follow- ing the first full night of com- petition in the roll-off of The Star's Yuletide tournament, that the handicap system so far as that event is concerned is here for keeps. Instituted as an experiment, it has proved satisfactory beyond every expectation. Star and duffer alike commend it and pot only the duckpin organigers of Washington but those of other cities see it as a stride in the right direction. More than 1,800 took part in the minaries and about 140 shot last in the roll-off and the tourna- ment directors have yet to receive a *squawk.” Frankly, some were expected Jong since. According to George L. secretary of the Nationel Bow! Isemann, | D year in several other cities which hold similar annual events. spite of the handicaps of lesser | lights, not a few of the experts man- | aged to land among the potential | prize winners last night, but none did ‘well snough to discourage any of the Rearly 400 yet to shoot. s & leader turned up in the men's division in the person of M. C. Jones, who shot 666 with the help of pin handicap. Jones qualified at vention Hall with a score of 580. | But for one weak string—he sloughed | %0 90 in the third after a start of 143- | 1 e’ set would have been a masterplece. He finished the fourth | game with a double-header strike to | et 195 and another double in the fifth | gave him a creditable 130. ” | K. McNEILL, who rolled 48-647 + with an “emergsncy” squad Mon- day, was displaced in the lead by | Joues. Paul Jarman, who qualified at the Recreation ‘with 3-618, rolled into third | place with 645, but for a while it | seemed he would go far in front. Jar- man totaled 428 for his first three g.mel. He gathered an even 300 sticks his second and third strings, with #cores of 160 and 140. In the 160 game | e made eight marks. Then he lost the range.

OEY GOODMAN'S doubtfully vic- torlous and disappointing show- ing against Tony Stets last night at Portner's Arena may have been due largely to Stetz's southpaw style, boxing critics were wont to agree today, but if Goodman, with all of his | years of ring experience, Was unable to tolve a crude left-hander's defence, the same ringsiders were dubious of his chances of climbing to greater heights among the welters. Touted as one of the country’s best welterweights, Goodman fell far short of expectations. As for Stetz, a cog- nomen of “Hard Luck Tony” would not be far amiss. The ex-Pennsylvania coal miner, who lost to Arthur DeBeve on a questionable fotl in his first ap- | mnnce at Portner's, made what fight- there was for seven rounds last night, Goodman did no fighting, con- descending only to tie Tony's potent left. Only in the final round did Good- man open up, and the solit verdict in his favor was booed loudly by the dis- gruntled crowd, which heclled the slow bout throvgiout. Judge George King voted a draw, while Referee Charlie Short and Judge Denny Hughes liked Goodman.’ , the preliminaries were full . In a bruising encounter, Tootsle Bashara, giving away 10 points, whipped Roy Manley in the eight-round semi-windup. Bob Lowry won & hard- fought six-rounder from Young Raspl, while in four-rounders “Barfoot” Green won a technical kayo over Bob Hol- lingsworth after 40 seconds of the first round and Leroy Dugan decisioned Joey Schwartz. Hollingsworth was butted in the eye, forcing Referee Short to stop the fight. Dugan had Schwartz on the floor twice in the second round.

YORK, January 4—When base ball club owners were hearing arguments upon the advisability of players throwing a punch or two et an offending um- pire for the sake of giving the fans a sideline to the game, the stock of Art Shires took a big boom. Judge Fuchs of the Braves thought that a playcr who could scatter a punch here and there, even if were unable to wallop the ball, might have some worth as a turn- stile attraction, so he hesitated about letting the former ring performer g0 to the minors. Shires, hearing about the talk of putting punch into the game, went down to a Chicago gymnasium the other day to see about getting in shape. While expert opinion seems be that Shires will not be play- ing first bese for the Braves in 1933, the big wind of base ball, as he was once known, plans to g0 south with the ball club. Shires is in fine shape physically. He weighs 206 pounds and says he is strong as nails. The knee that | gave him s0 much trouble last sea- son, forcing him into voluntary re- tirement, is as sound as ever, Shires announces. 010 You MISS ME AT ALL WHILE « wAS away? | FELY S0 GuILTY LEAVING YOU HE 0107 weLe, 1t BE — WHY, YE wWAS ALL RIGHT WHEN LEFT HIM, JUST A LITTLE NOISY PERNAPS BUT OTHERWISE Ok NO, | CANT TO-NIGHT, SORRY, BUT (T cAN'T B€E DONE ONE CRACK PITCHER SOLE NEED OF BUGS [ Addition of Siege Gun to Fit Pirate Crew for Pen- nant Cruise.

Judson, -~ in his four appearances at the Washington Auditorium, has fajled to both please and surprise and against Rudy Dusek, pre- mier showman and toughie of all the exaggerated _gruni boys.

Jim McMillan hn?pened along next and pinned Judson follow- ing a flying tackle while Judson was climbing into the ring. Next came a 45-minute draw with Abe Coleman, a bout which produced probably the best wrestling of the year. His two-hour draw with Steele last lv:;'eeklwem. down as the Capital's classic rawl. Undoubtedly Judson is on the build- up but a queer one it is, showing only one victory in four starts. A 6-minute win over a substitute, Al Kahn, can hardly be considered seriously.

BY JOHN A. HEYDLER, President, National League. EW YORK, January 4.— There has been no off-sea~ son in a quarter of a cen- tury where there have been so many changes in the line-ups of National League clubs as have taken place this Winter. I re- gard this change of faces on the diamonds of our various cities as helpful to the league. It tends to give us a better balance of play- ing strength and it arouses more interest in the pennant race. A notable feature of league progress in recent years has been the steady strengthening of - our habitual second division teams. The extent to which this procoss has reached may best be set forth by the fact that New York and E£t. Louis both finished in the second divi- sion after having been generally picked by most of the critics to fight for the mnant in 1932. On the other hand, of the playing year. Chicago, the winner last season, has added the batting power of Babe Her- man. Pittsburgh will have Lindstrom and also the increased value of sensational young inflelders of last season.
