U.S. Duc FIELD 15 29 TEAMS LARGER THANIN'32 Washington Second Only to Host City of Hartford Pro- ducing Entries. BY R. D. THOMAS. F figures don't lie, the National Duckpin Bowling Congress has licked the depression. More teams will shoot in its annual tournament, which opens Tuesday at Hartford, Conn., than | fired a year ago at Norfolk. | | In the Norfolk tournament 89 men’s | teams and 37 women's rolled. 'l'hls‘L time there are 106 men's and 49 women's and there may be more. Sec- | retary George Isemann is awaiting word | from a number of prospects, but as the figures stand last year's entry tctal has been topped by 29 teams. With_other nationel bowling events | showing big decreases over last year's| fields, the gain of the N. D. B. C.| speaks well not on'y for Isemann and | his organization but the game itzelf. | The American Bowling Congress, ten- | pin classic, tcok a beating this season, | with a loss of 739 tesms over 1932 This was a 31 per cent drop. = | ASHINGTON, as usual, contributed a great share of the N. D. B. C.| entry. No other city, asice from ‘Hartford, approached the Nation's Cap- ital in supporting the event. Twenty- one men's teams and nine wemen's will Tepresent this city. Hartford contributed 33 men’s and 17 women's teams. Baltimore sends 10 teams and 8 of women. The longest journey will be made b} the Blick Bowling Center teams of At lanta, Ga. | Women bowlers have done much t> put over the tournament. Their field | of 49 teams Is the largest in the seven- year history of the congress. It seems women have been better spenders on the mapleways this seascn, at least in major tournzments, than | men. The Naticnal Sweep takes for men, held at Richmond, Va.. fell off from 35 entries to 25, but the Dixie Women's Sweepstakes, held here, an event comparing with the other, went up from 43 to 49. OLLOWING are the teams entered from the Washington metrcpolitan area: Men—Hyzttsvil'e Arcade, Blad- ensburg Dixie Pig. Mcunt Rainier, Be- thesda, Silver Spring. Ge:rgetown Rec- reation, Convention Hall, Co'umbia, G. P. O. (2 teams), Lucky Strike, King Pin, Occidental, Re-reation, Knights of Columbus (2 teams). R. Harris, W. B. Hibb:, Temple, District Government and Meyer Dav ing Pin, Rendezvous, George ‘ Rosebuds, Coiumbia, Bill Wood, Arcadia, Lucky Strike, Meyer ! Davis, Georgeiown Recreation. Washington bowlers wi'l defend two champicnships. At Norfolk last year, the Silver Spring team won the five- man event and Chester Bild and Ed Blakeney won the doubles. For the first time the Washington girls were shut out in competition for titles. 'NCLE WILLIE WOOD, the Lucky | Strike ,and King Pin impresario, | will turn over another Meyer Davis enterprise, the Arabian Nights ball room, to the bowlers next Priday night for a Top, the proceeds of which will pay or Thelp erase expenses of the Lucky Strike | and King Pin teams at the national tournament. A similar affair was held recently in the defunct billiard room of the Colum- bia, and in spite of a lack of publicity, was quite a success. Ithas been decided | to make this an annual party, which brings to mind that the bowling game needs a stimulus in the direction of | sociability. The sooner the boys and girls forget the bucks and get back to the spirit of recreation, the quicker will be the recovery of Mr. Duckpin, now seriously ill. We long for another party such as Harry Carroll used to give. The late proprietor of the Recreation put out a pretty penny for the banquet dance given every year in honor of the Wash- ington Ladies’ League, but he got back quite a portion of it in business born of good will; and not that Harry gave this a serious th:ught. He was a born | hilanthropist, that man. ! P like to ‘see people have a good | time.” he used to say, and he was all | the happler for other folks’ good time being at his expense. ¥ Doughboy Pug REPRESENTS FT.

Two local anglers, Dehler and McKnight, who have been using the Little River all Winter for their piscatorial outings znd catching many bass, visited this water again last Tuesday.

IVERPOOL, England, March 18. —With the homebred American jumper, Trouble Maker, and eight other American - owned horses challenging the pick of the Brit- ish steeplechasers over the difficult Ain- tree course, another chapter will be written Friday in the attempt of Grand National. Only twice In nearly a century of renewals has an American-owned horse been the first to finish. Stephen (Laddie) Sanford’s Sergeant Murphy won in 1923 and A. C. Schwartz’s Jack Horner in 1926. Both were foaled in Europe, however. Rublo, winner in 1907, was the only American-bred horse ever to parade home first and he was owned by an Englishman. Those incurable optimists, the ex- perts of the British turf, say the favor- ite will be the first home this year, but the odds are against it, just as they have been for 94 years. Lottery won |the first Aintree jumping classic in 1839 and the race has been a lottery | ever since. NCE since the World War the Grand National favorite galloped in ahead. He was Sprig, big muscular chestnut, which won in 1927 |after finishing fourth two years ru | ning. The experts this_year have | better chance, for only 35 horses. the | smallest number since 1926, are eligible. | The public choices now are Mrs. M. A. Gemmell's Gregalach, winner in 1929, and Dorothy Paget's Golden Miller. There is little difference in their odds, Gregalach being quoted at 9 to 1 and Golden Miller at 19 to 2. | Mrs. Gemmel's big jumper will carry the top weight of 175 pounds and Gold- en_Miller 170. | Probably the best chance for an American victory rests with Heartbreak | Hill, big Irish mare owned by Mrs. C. |'S. Bird, jr, of Massachusetts, and Dusty Foot, from John Hay Whitney's popular stable, which sent out the | famous Easter Hero and Sir Lindsay to make great bids for honors in past | years. Mrs. Bird, well known in British and Irish racing circles. spends much of her time in Ireland where she hunts with the Meath. United States sportsmen to win the | EARTBREAK HILL, considered by the betting commissioners the lead- ing American contender, was sixth | among the nine survivors of the start- ing field of 36 last year. She is quoted at 22 to 1. The last of her sex to win was Shannon Lass in 1902, ‘The Whitney jumper is not so well considered in the pre-race betting but if not cash, for in his saddle will be George H. (Pete) Bostwick, wealthy young American seeking to achieve a life long ambition. Bostwick, generally rated the world's leading amateur steeplechase rider, will ride over the course for the first time the day of the race, but a lot of English | spertsmen have great faith in the boy | who said he would rather ride a horse “hnu g0 to Yale. | _Trouble Maker’s chief claim for a | chance at the coveted honors lies in his | victories in the Carolina Cup at Cam- | den, 8. C,, and the Maryland Hunt Cup | last year, and a second to Glangesia in the Grasslands International, the | United States counterpart to the Grand | National two years ago. | JOHN A. DRAKE, an American living in Paris, who has been a prominent | ¥ figure in English racing circles since 1899, will try for viclcry again with his 9-year-old Coup de Chateau, which fell last year. Drake is famous for his bet- ling coups in the English turf. In sartnership with John (Bet-a-Million) Gates, he stageered the world with his betting successes 30 years ago. at one {ime winning 500,000 pounds with Royal Flush, a horse which cost only 450 pounds. F. Ambrose Clark, well known in American sporting circles, has entered two horses—Chadds Ford and Kells- boro Jack. Of the pair. Kellsboro Jack is better considered and will carry 163 pounds as compdred to Chadds Ford's 147. ‘The remainder of the American field includes Theres, making his third start over the Aintree course for Jesse Met- calf of South Carolina; Delaneige, owned by J. B. Snow, director of the Woolwerth stores in Great Britain, and Ballyhanwood, which will carry the silks of M. D. Blair, another American long associated with the English turf.

Either way fans come—from Washington or from Baltimore—they must drive around 22 miles. To view big-time bovers a drive of 22 miles means nothing to the average fight fan. But the lesscr, more cone fined appeal of local boxers, was in- sufficient to make the arena a paying proposition. The same was the case last year. Cornell tried his best and did manage to inveigle Maxie Rosen- bloom, light-heavy champlon, to show a couple of times, but for the most part the better fighters were unwilling to risk a poor “house.” This year, as is being attested at Washington's indoor fight club in Alex~ andria, Portner’s Arena, champions, near-champions and ex-champions are willing, even eager, to box for a cut on the gate.

But something went wrong at the last minute and the bill was lost. There is no chance for a reconsidera- tion of the vote on the bill at this ses- on of the Legislature. AST Thursday Rod and Stream asked Raymond H. Miller, dele- gate to the Legislature from Wil- llamsport, Md., to come to Washington | and explain in detail how the bill was defeated. Miller, as you all probably know, introduced the measure in the General Assembly.

Two of this latter gentry, standing near a certain ambitious young fisti- cuffer engaged in tying his shoe laces, were, strangely enough, discussing fights and fichters. *“Well,” spoke up-one of the gents, who thinks the new Postmaster General has nothing to do but campaign for boxing, “we oughta see some real boxin’ in this town with Jim Farley here.” The pug on the soap box looked up from his shoes, stuck forth his chin belligerently, and growled: ““How - much - does this -guy Farley ‘welgh an’ he ain’t no southpaw, is he?” JEFFRIES, former heavyweight boxing champion, who was Les Ken- nedy’s chief second in several im- Rougher’n Rudy TOPS MAT SHOW FOR FIRST TIME THURSDAY.

In a five-game match at Convention Hall Friday, Harrison won by 637 to 552, and the commercial fishermen them- | selves know, they would ctarve if-they relied on the money they received from the sale of bass. Cold facts and figures were presented to the legislators by the officials of the United States Bureau of | Picheries showing that the sale of bass in Maryland had dwindled 80 per cent In 10 years, and that in 1930 the en- tire catch in Meryland waters was valued at only $2,632. Miller told his listeners how much he deplored the loss of the sure and assured them he would work hard to get it passed two years hence. PAULINO K. 0.’S GUEHRING.
