Wholesale Records Promised in Pin Tourney : Shields’ Flops a Net OCCIDENTALS SHOW WHAT GAN BE DONE 285 Teams to Shoot in City Event Opening Tomorrow at Lucky Strike. BY R. D. THOMAS. ESPERATE effort failed to produce a record field for the Washington City Duck- pin Association champion- ships, opening tomorrow night, | but Uncle Willie Wood, head man | at the Lucky Strike, is willing 101 stake the premises that all other‘ marks in the 22-year-old archivesi of the association go Humpty | Dumpty. ¢ i This, too, in the face of a singular | admonition from the association against | slicking his mapleways. | “I'm not boasting, understand,” Bill | ‘boasted last night, “but I believe every | record in every class of the tournament will be busted.” TILL excited over the truly amazing performance of the Occidental Restaurant team, which 24 hours before made national records with a game of 736 and set of 2,065 in a Dis- trict League match, Boss Bill may have been unduly sanguine, but probably not. The greatest pinfall in the history of the game has been recorded this season | at the Lucky Strike, and there is no reason why it shouldn't continue on | through the city tournament. . Ordinarily, in preparing for the city | championships, an establishment dresses | its mapleways to icy speed. This time, | by request of the association, the drives will be maintained at normal slickness, | “In most tournaments of the past. Secretary Ebersole cxplained last night, | “the alleys have been as fast as light- | ning for the first several nighis, and | then slowed down so that bowlers tak- ing their turns toward the end of the schedule have rolled on drives not a little different from those available to the early shocters.” &¢T GUESS our fellows got those Lucky Strike drives plenty warmed up for the tournament.” bassoed big Fred Buchholz, who grieved all day yesterday over his cbsence from the record-shattering performance. The Occidentals are on the fag-end of the tournament schedule. For 10 years Max Rosenberg has rated with the best duckpin bowlers in the country, and records have come to mean little to him, as a rule, bul those two Occidental marks were ex ceptions. Max relished ‘em to the marrow They refuted a season-1 ng depre- ciation of Rosenberg’s ability. Some of the best authoritics have held that rounded gutters and faster drives mili- tated against Max' style. Others be- lieved he was as hot &s ever, but for- mer inferiors had caught up. | Recently Max added specd to his de- livery and went out to recapture some of the lost prestige. i He silenced all critics with one tre- mend-us effort—his contribution of 458 sticks to the Occidental set. | Tough luck probably thwarted Rosen- berg of a record. To quote a tex mate, Dutch Newmsn: “Max deserves | a set of 500. He didn't miss a thing and he hit at least four times for spares | that didn't go.” i Max shared honors with Joe Harrison in the 736-game in which Joe made a triple-header strike and M°x a double t> keep the team keyed high. EWMAN'S average in the National Capital League—12730 for 90 games—is another indication of | whopping scores in the city tournament. | All games cf this league are rolled af the Lucky Strike. i To ‘aseare himself of the National | Capital championship, Newman finished | his schedule with _double-header scts | of 429 and 394, with King Palace. His, chief rival, Astor Clarke of King Pin. | rolled on the same night, but only one set. When the evening opened New-| men led Clarke by a single pin. At the | conclusion, he was so far in frent the | title was all_but sewed up. Clarke rolled only 363, and now to catch New- men must shoot 460 in his final set. Clarke has made a great attempt to retain the chempionship he won last season with a record average of 123 in the National Capital l:op. =~ | To return to the city toffnament, it | was announced last night by Secretary Ebersole that 285 teams ere in line. along with nearly 300 doubles and 500 singles: which, in these times is quite | 2 bowling entry MISCHOU IS OUTBOWLED Maher of Hartford W;m!

SWIVEL, EQUIPOISE WIN IMPRESSIVELY {Former Beats Six Eligibles for Derby—Latter Near Track Record. By the Assoclated Press AVRE DE GRACE, Md., April 22—Swivel, queen of the 2- year-i fillles last year end winner of the Pimlico Futur- ily, soundly trounced six other eligibls fcr the $50,000 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs next month today to rhare honors at Havre de Grace with C¢. V. Whitney's Equipose, which sig- nalized his return to the races with a smashing victory in the $7,500 Phil- adelphia Handicap. The daughter of Swift and Sure, making her 3-year-old debut, carried the silks of Adolphe Pcns to an easy three-length victory over a mile and 70 vards, defeating, among others, the highly-regarded Repaid from James F. Johnson's Quincy Stable, the second | choice in the pre-race betting to win the Derby. Running the distance in 1:4345 undcr the guidance of Alfred Rcbert- son, Swivel came from last position to beat William Ziegler, jr.’s, Keep Out, & long shot, by three lengths. Samuel Riddle’s War Glory, a son of Man o ‘War, was a length back in third place, end was followed by Projectile, a stablemate of the winner, and the badly-beaten Repaid, although the fa- vorite never figured in the running, Leing far back at all times. WIVEL ran a race that should beost her stock in both the Derby and the Preakness. Robertson did I nct_rush the bay beauty, letting her trail the field as the leaders swung into the back stretch. Midway through the back stretch, however, she began her mighty drive. She passed on the inside of Repaid and then took around the leaders on the bend. She entered the stretch hot on the trial of War Glory and bounded to the front at the furlong pole. From then on she coasted home Repaid, backed by sensational trials at Aqueduct, was the choice of the ma- Jority of the capacity crowd cf 15,000, but there was plenty of support fos Swivel and her runnirg mate. The entry paid $6.80 for $2. Equipoise was in great form as he ' sped over the 1 1-16 miles in 1:443;, just & second slower than the traek | N: record, to earn $6,375 and boost his tota! winnings to $273,585. Carrying the crushing impost of 128 pounds and giving plenty jof weight to his seven rivals, the son of Pen- nant swept to the front at the head of the stretch and crcssed the finish line a length and a half in front of S.

The oack-haired New Jersey player matched Shields’ terrific placement drives in the first two sets with shots not quite as powerful, but deadly in their accuracy. 'TARTING the third set, however, the tall New Yorker began to get the range, and with his forehand shots rattling off his racket like rifie bullets, he swept through the set without losing a game. His speed drove Mangin into frequent errors, and when the indoor | champion was able to get his racket on the bail his returns were feeble. The new champion, a member of the Davis Cup team last year, continued his terrific pace in the fourth set, answer- ing Mangin's lobs with drives that left the New Jersey player flat-footed. Stoefen, who figured in the defeat of Lott and Van Ryn twice in two weeks, was partner equal of Shields’ sreat game in the doubles. With a tremendous advantage in reach, the 11 | giant team overwhelmed Bell and Man- gin, either from the baseline or the net. NLY in the second set was Mangin and Bell able to offer any great resistance. Quick to take advan- tage of their rivals’ mistakes, they forced the new title holders to go 20 games before gaining the decision. The third set, however, was just another parade for Shields and Stoefen. Mrs. John Van Ryn of Philadelphia | managed to keep a share of the honors in the family when she defeated Baron- ess Maud Levi of New York in the final match of women's singles. The score was 6—4, 5—7, 6—4. It was Mrs. Van Ryn's ‘second straight title on the Spring circuit. She won the North- | South ¢hampionship at Pinehurst last week. GIANTS DROP HEALEY.

Mystery THAS EVERY ASSET BUT CONSISTENCY Promised Davis Cup Sub Job if Unaccountably Spotty Game Is Improved. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, April 22.—Hope is held out to Frank Shields that if he lifts his game of | tennis to a more consist- ently satisfactory plane this Spring he may be taken to France and England as a supplementary member of the Davis Cup team. The constant wonder about this | young man is that right at the present | time he dces not rate pretty close to { Ellswoth Vines. | The reason he doesn't is because of the frightful inconsistency of his | game, g tondency to lapse at wrong | times, which is the more inexplicable because he secms to have everything that makes for greatness in the game— | superb buile, gam-ness, commznd of | strokes, spced, pow:r and most ingra- | tiaticg” court manners. Yet he can | lose more heavuy in iorm in a match | than any ranking plaser in the game. 'OR purposes of explanation, say | L that we rate a perfect gome of | tennis at a 100 per cenit. Now, . men like Tilder, Lacoste, Cochet 2nd a few cthers may be relied, upon to pro- duce 75 or 85 per cent tennis at their | very worst. In other words, their games never fall more than 25 per cent belcw perfect. | ., Ellsworth Vines is yet too young in the gzme to b> reted in the matter of fluctuatior. He is nol yet seitled, but | every thcory conca: g him inciiaes to the belief that within a year or two {he will be as consistent as any one. For he is a sober, serious youth, the sort of player who it is believed will most certainly establish his game. Ncw, Shields may go out and turn in | o flawless game of tennis. He has, and {he will. But take his average of play | throughout. the season. and you find it to be no better than 55 or 60 per cent. | This means he has not been able to lift his game to a dependable level. Any player chosen for Davis Cup play must be dependable. There is too much at stake to take risk on form as vari- able as that of Shields. Our national prestige in tennis depends upon the | Davis Cup team, and besides it costs a lot of money to send a tennis player abroad. | QHIELDS might well beat any of the boys selected for the Davis Cup team, then go to Paris and blow his | matches. In his present form this is the chance that would be taken on him if he weremamed as a Davis Cup player. Some day he may round to, and if he does he will be one of America’s grand- est tennis assets. In connection with this game of ten- nis, one of the officers of the United States Lawn Tennis Association won- ders what would happen if our players | were willing to employ at least some of | the more elementary methods of train- ing for their matches. None of them, Vines excepted, do. He is the easiest man in the world to handle and will do anything that any one in authority suggests. But most, if not all, of the rest gnre for tennis as an indulgent man f middle age might prepare for 18 holes of golf. Their diet is literally amszing in choice of dishes. its quantity and wide They smoke all they want and in general are as deeply en- grossed in the social adjuncts to game they play as in tennis itself. Yet, abroad they must have seen the intensive manner in which Cochet | trains for important matches, and they must know of Lacoste’s seriously scien- tific methods of preparation, just as they know that Bill Tilden never even smoked a cigarette until his waning days as an amateur. o ALEXANDRIANS IN MEET High School Has Two Relay Teams in Triangular Affair.
