Ollie DWIN CONNICK of the Northeast > Major League, handicap 10, B 1l Beiz, of the Rendezvous, handicap 25, rolled into a tie for third place with 658. Connick’s set_included the high game of the roll-off-170, worth $5 if it isn't beaten today or tonight when the tournament comes to a close. Connick opened his performance with seven consecutive marks, several of them “monkey” spares. Betz's high game was 131, but he held almost the same pace throughout. Catherine Quigley, a star of many tournaments, chalked up the best set from scratch in the girls' division with §56. It put her in second place. Lorraine Gulli, defending champlon, landed seventh with a score of 535. Miss Gulli, too straight on the headpln, was the victim of numerous splits. ESS ACKMAN, the only bowler to win The Star tournament twice, made a brave bid to turn the trick a third time. from scratch. Mildred Miskelly, with a handicap of 10, moved into third place with 549. Pacini’s high game was 148 and his | low, 118. Nick Rinaldi, an up and coming youngster, assured himself of a prize With 649. Nick’s handicap was 50 W. F. Wolle of the C. & P.

ALTIMORE, January 7.—Whether Jersey City and Albany will re- main in the International Base | Ball League this year or their franchises transferred to some other cities will confront the league officials when they meet in New York Tuesday. Charles H. Knapp of Baltimore, pres- ident of the International League, be- lieves the status of the two clubs and the probable Ymiting of the players' salaries will have an important effect |on the survival of thg league. 'HE Jersey City team finished a poor financial season last year while the franchise of the Albany team, held on an option by Clarence H. Rowland, has been returned to the Chicago club of the National League. Sam Colavucio, who owned a majority interest of the Jersey City outfit, and William Veeck, president of the Chi- cago team, have informed Knapp they will attend the New York meeting and present the positions of their respective organizations. Veeck has announced the Albany franchise is for sale at a “bargain,” but if neither interests can be disposed of and the present owners do not care to continue, the franchises will revert to_the league for disposal Late last Fall the Toronto club was in financial difficulties, but Knapp said the owners reorganized and will be represented in the league this Summer. NAPP said a limit of $39,000 for the total of salaries to be paid to players by each club wil be pro- posed at the New York meeting. He added the proposition had considerable support among league offiials. A play-off series proposal also will be considered at the meeting. The, plan is that on September 10, the ciosing date of the league, four teams, the two leaders in the Northern group, com- posed of Montreal, Toronto, Buffalo and Rochester, and two from the remainder forming the Southern group, will meet in a championship series. Because of these problems to come before the officials, Knapp doubted if the meeting will complete its work on Tuesday, continuing on Wednesday.

Golf and Country Club has been the scene of two Mmajor open tournaments of the game have played, none of the holes of that arduous layout split by town of Bethesda, ever has been made in a single stroke from the tee. There must be a feason for this, and the rea- son, according to Al Houghton, the club pro, is the extreme difficulty of the one-shotters. Unlike those at most courses the one-shot affairs at Kenwood are mostly long holes. Three of them are over 200 yards in length and only one can be played with a pitching club. Yet this pitch-shot hole rates as one of the hardest of them all. ENWOOD'S first hole is rated by Houghton as the finest two-shotter on the course, even above the sec- ond, fifth and fourteenth, all of which are very fine two-shot afairs. From the standpoint of mere distance the first hole is a few yards longer than par 4 measurement, but the gents who rate par for the Kenwood layout never | have figured it as a 5. It always has | been a par 4, although for most golfing folks it is a 5 and a tough one at that.

IN previous articles I have dealt at some length with factors of the | full swing with wood. Obviously, the details discussed must be prac- ticed fully if any good is to result. One of the reasons I so greatly admire Paul Runyan is that he has worked hard to make himself a fine golfer. He had natural ability to begin with. But he would not now be one of the outstanding young plavers if he had not become & thorough student of the game and had not practiced continually make its fundamentals part parcel of his m: p. Of course, the average man does not want to be a Runyan, a Hagen, or a Dutra. He doesn't wish to practice two hours a day. What he does wish is to be able to make a creditable showing, to play & rea- sonably fair game. Any man can do that by prac- ticing. Now is & fine time for many to get at it. Winter months can be profitable in this way. Certajnly the exercise gained is, in itself, ‘worth while. Take & fewgjeaves from Runyan's bockl . to and has been scored by any golfer, | Although the course of the Kenwood | in which most of the professional stars | the River road near the little Maryland | If the star hits a real | | tee shot well down the left side of the | rare occasions with a No. 3 iron, but | Keriwood Club Prevsé.liltsi'i:wo Stagger Golfers normally he will be banging away with two wooden shots hoping to get home. Houghton has played hundreds of rounds of his home course, and never has used a shorter club than a No. 3 iron for the seeond shot, even under the abnormally fast ground conditions of Midsummer. No weak affair, this first hole at Kenwood. T'S a real man sized golf hole, with the premium on length from the tee and accuracy on the second shot paying big dividends. Horton Smith | started his last round in the recent ‘Natlonal Capital open by laying & wooden second shot within a few feet of the pin. He holed the 3, one of the extremerly rare birdies made on this hole, and started by this means on the triumphant march which brought him the championship and first money of 00. 375‘“ we remember another start by another famous competitor on this hole, when Tommy Armour stepped out on the first tee in 1931, and started a wice hook intended to bring the ball around into the middle of the fairway. | Tommy’s ball met ‘l tree in mid-career nd stopped abruptly. i Ken\’sgd'l tenth hole, a par 3 of 275 yards, is the longest par 3 around Washington and one of the longest par 3 affairs of which we know. It is the hardest one-shotter on the course, | simply by reason of its extreme length, | without _considering the traps that cut |into both corners of the green and | the out-of-bounds territory at the left. The best way for the average golfer to play this hole is to lay a tee shot | as far down as pessible on the line to the green and hope for a chip or short pitch up close. ut the star goes for the green with anything from a No. 1 iron up to a driver. Few balls are hit over that green, but if they are it’s bad news. The green slopes sharply down a hill 25 feet high with a pitch back to a green sloping away from the | shot. It's a real golf hole, this tenth at | Kenwood, and it will be a better hole if | the trapping program being consid- ered by the authorities of the club is carried out. 'OR it is the intention of Don Cham- berlin and his Greens Committee associates to trap the right-hand side of that tenth fairway and restrict the operations of the gents who keep away from the out-of-bounds territory tacking over to the right and then pitching onto the green, There's also an idea in the back of Chamberlin's head of doing away with the “duck ponds” at the twelfth hole and convert- | Ing that hole into & long par 4 by simply green. The twelfth plays about 485 yards in | length, but because of ground configu- | rations, it can be reached with a drive | and an iron by the big hittters. Indeed, lays shorter generally than the first hole. Glenn S. Spencer, Maryland Country Club pro, cut loose with one of his booming tee shots one day last Fall which left him so far down the hill that |he reached the green with a niblick | second shot. So it can be made into a mrkd. As it stands nowadays the chief | in playing the hole is to carry the | duck-ponds in front of the green. That |and getting down in two putts from | above the cuP, which is considerable of |a job in itsell. Kenwood may come in for several changes this year, if conditions improve. It 1s practically a certainty that the 1933 National Capital open tournament will be a $5,000 affair, big enough to attract all the lads who say it with flying tee shots for a living. As a $2,500 tournament last year it attracted one of the best golf flelds we ever have seen. As a $5,000 tourney it will do better. Fistic Battles BY the Assoctated Press.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 7.— | Blond Ernie Schaaf has evened another old score and now can find only one stain on his fistic escutcheon. The burly Boston heavyweight, | apparently sliding clear out of the | picture a few months ago, ad- vanced another big step in his comeback campaign last night when he stopped Stanley Poreda, youthful Jersey City puncher, in the sixth round of a 10-round bout | in Madison Square Garden. Once more the invincible siugger of 1931 and early 1932, Schaaf floored Poreda four times before Referee Arthur Donovan halted hostilitles after 28 seconds of the sixth. It was Poreda who started Schaaf on his slump early this Summer. After Stanley had given him a beating in 10 rounds, the Boston star was trounced by Max Baer and then beaten by un- known Winston. Only the Baer defeat now remalns unavenged for Schaaf re- cently knocked out Winston in six | rounds. After the first round, Poreda never had a chance with the husky New Englander. Early in the second round, Schaaf caught Jerseyman flush on the chin with a smashing right and Poreda went down. Instead of taking a count of nine, the groggy Poreda came up at four, took a fearful lacing and went down once more just as the bell came to his rescue. Stanley got through the third round with a minimum of difficulty, but two solid rights to the head sent him down for nine in the fourth round. Through the fifth round Schaaf belabored his | opponent lustily and then floored him | with a savage right cross early in the | sixth round. That was the final guun:h for the referee stepped in and halted the uneven struggle. 3 A crowd of 7,000 saw the show. Schaaf weighed 209); pounds; Poreda, 203.

P, lark’'s Kells- | ord, Mrs. Ambrose Clark's Ke! | BY PERRY men equip thelr boats with chumming | machines. Chumming is the best meth= |od of attracting fish. Nexi season & | boat captain without sueh equipment | will find that his boat is not wanted— | at least it will not be in demand as in past years. The captains of all beats | will find that they have to keep abreast | of the times, and that when anglers de- | mand a certain thing they will have to | supply it. | _Rod and Stream has been asked many | times recently where the alewives can | be purchased. Many have their own | boats, but do not know where to ob- | tain the fish to be ground "gew at- tract the larger denizens of the deep. Last year there was only ene man who really had a goed supply of these little fish on hand all Summer, and that was Capt. Robert E. Lee at Shady Side. After the close of his season at Chesapeake Beach, Capt. Noah Hazard kept. a supply on hand at his fish house at Galesville, Md. These two men are the only ones I know of from whom alewives can be purchased. Before the start of the 1933 Mshing season in salt water, Rod and Stream will try to make arrangements to have these little fish sold at the principal fishing grounds. Trout, blues and rockfish make the alewives their principal item of diet. The annual meeting of the Wash~ ington, D.
