D—2 SURE T0 QUALIY | IN STAR TOURNEY Pugh Shoots 628 to Lead at Boulevard—District Loop Leaders Lose. [ ] BY ROD THOMAS. HE battle is on in the George- town sector of The Evening Star bowling tournament with the biggest field engaged ever to represent the Georgetown Recrea- tion. Thirty-two have rolled so far, with many more in line. To lead the Georgetown bowlers P. K. Beck shot 632—35—667 for one of the highest scores yet made in the preliminaries. Another snappy per- former was Al Wright, who finished second last year in the finals, & sin- gle stick behind the winner, Jack Whalen, Wright's 606~—30—636 is certain to qualify him for another crack at the big money. George Bromley also assured him- self of a place in the roll-off by shoot- ing 578—48—626, proving that fat handicaps will take a man places in this tournament. Heurichs Are Strong. HE Georgetown field will be swelled m by virtually the entire member- ship of the Heurich Brewery Employes’ League, which is rolling two double-headers to enable some of the Brewers to get in enough league games to receive handicaps. Thirty games rolled this season is the num- ber required if a bowler had no league average last season. The Heurichs will shoot their preliminary next Thursday. L. Pugh moved to the front last night in the Boulevard sector with a score of 586—42—628, three sticks ahead of V. Wilson, 570—55—625, and four in front of L. Robinson, 589— 35—624. The following will roll tonight and tomorrow night at Boulevard: Len Wilson, L. Gloyd, J. Hill, J. Wire, J. Perrell, W, Murphy, W. Perrell, Ed Hurd, Doc Clendenin, J. Noppinger, the five Broadhursts, Roscoe, Ralph, Henry, Earl and William, and the en- | tire Evans Service Station team. ‘The sixth annual Italian Sweep- stakes will be rolled tomorrow night at the Northeast Temple, with Ollie Pa- cini defending the title he has won threg . Mike Vitale and Joe Freschi each has won once. No Cinch for Ollie. T IS a handicap affair, and Pacini this time will be up against it harder than ever before A big field is assured and it will include sev- eral up-and-coming youngsters. No- table among these is Tommy Capon- netto, who recently shot 403 in the Times League, and Marvin Oliveri, 17 years old, who is averaging 107 in his first season in a league, the Temple Junior. Entries will be received up to start- ing time, 8 o'clock. Buck Share of Arcadia breaks into print with a 437 set, including a game of 169, rolled last night in the Districs League. George Isemann, rolling prob- ably the best duckpins of his career in recent weeks, helped along the Arcadia cause with a 398 when it won two games from the invading Temple team, Perce Wolfe, another splurger these days, was the hot shot when Boule- vard nicked the leading Occidental Restaurant quint in the odd game. Perce rolled 387. Tony Santini blanked Clem Weid- man to retain the lead in the Wash- ington Singles League, shooting 384. In another feature George Isemann shellacked Ollie Pacini. Bowlers of the Intercollegiate League will wine and dine tonight at the Lee House. President Waters, a Navy alumnus, will be the toast- master. In a roll-off with George Bradt, at Rosslyn, Tody Saylor won his entry | g. in the Northern Virginia Sweepstakes.

JOHNNIES ON HOLIDAY Annapolis Tossers Resume With Trip Early Next Month. ANNAPOLIS, Md., December 21.— After making a fair start to the sea- son of 1934-35 by defeating Ran- dolph-Macon and Hampden-Sydney by narrow margins, St. John’s will call off its basket ball practice for the holi- days and resume early next month with a trip to the Shenandoah Valley. Virginia Military Institute will be played on January 5 and Washington and Lee on January 7. The Delisio brothers, formerly of Central High, have made good their places at forward and guard, respec- tively, with Capt. Jack Donahue at the other guard, Lou Sommerville or Joe Lambrose at the other forward and John Evans at center. The last named stands 4 inches over 6 feet. With Capt. Donahue as the only regular of last year available Coach Val Lentz has had to build the team from the ground up, but it has been improving steadily and should be in good shape by the middle of next month, ASKS BIGGER RACE “TAKE.” CHICAGO, December 21 (A).—An amendment to the Illinois racing law which would increase the track “take” from 6% per cent of the mutual han- dle to almost 8 per cent, is expected to be asked of the Legislature by the State Racing Commission. FOR CRUICKSHANK Consistency Nets Him $500 Nassau Purse—Butler Finishes Second. % By the Assoctated Press. ASSAU, Bahamas, December 21. —Little Bobby Cruickshank counted consistency the rarest of golfing virtues today as he first prize money in the $5,000 British Colonial open tournament. He won with a 72-hole score of 267. Seven others players could point to at least one round a stroke or more lower than the best Cruickshank could exhibit. Nevertheless, the Richmond, Va., professional put together four cards that did not vary more than two . strokes and made them re- turn $500. Not until the last green did Cruickshank shake off the bid of young Tony P Butler of Har- > °" lingen, Tex., who started the last nine holes 5 up on the eventual winner, only to “blow” his chances. Butler finished a stroke behind Cruickshank and Leo Mallory of Noro- ton, Conn., another youngster, shot a 269 for third place. Butler won $350; Mallory, $250. Ralph Stonehouse, the dependable Indianapolis pro, finished fourth at 270 and L. P. Schalk of Hamilton, Ohio, fith at 271. Joe Turnesa of Hartford, amassed a 273 for sixth.

P ALL the queer forms ¢ wagering on golf games, the, have uncovered a couple of new ones at Burning Tree, where a goodly sector of Washington officialdom does its fairway farming The two new ones, which we are suic will be unknown to most golfer around Washington, are called “back- gammon” and “yardage.” They differ widely from the com- mon “Nassau” system of wagering as used at Washington, Chevy Chase, Indian Spring and most of the other clubs, and they have all the fasci- nation of the “animal game” as played by Bill Ullman and his pals at Con- jonal. Here is the way the backgammon game works: Two teams of two star out to play each hole for 50 cents pe: man. Each team has the privileg of “doubling” on the best ball, anc if one side does not double the othe. side must do so. The side doing th “doubling” also has the privilege o “redoubling.” 1If a hole is “doublec and lost or wom, it costs the losin side a dollar a man. If “redoubled, the stakes become two bucks per man An interesting game to say the least The other system is called “yardage’ and is played between two individualk at the rate of 1 cent per yard. I you are a long hitter and can play the long holes to the queen's taste try it some time. But if you cannct smack the ball fairly far and special ize in playing the short holes, yor would better stay away. Take hole around 460 yards. If you lo it, at the rate of $4.60 and win a 14 yard short hole at the rate of §1.” your dividends won't buy many to: for the kiddies. HAT game also is interesting, b it may run into money if playc at the rate of a cent a yarc For example, one player might win 1 of the 18 holes and lose money on th yardage game, if he lost most of the long holes and won the short on | They haven't yet started the “trappy” game at Burning Tree, but they may grow into that, too. This, “trappy” game is lethal as a gambling game. They used to play it a good deal down at Annapolis Roads, where they have traps that are real traps. It cost & player a buck to each member of the game each time he went into a trap and & buck for each shot in the hazard. We've seen one gent lose $40 in ‘the Maryland State Normal School | one trap, and come out laugh- ing, for he knew every one else would find a trap before the round was out. And we've seen another go out with a flock of Nassau bets, lose 'em all and win money because he carefully steered his ball away from the bunkers, while the others were floundering around in the sand. Some sort of wagering, in a modest way, makes a game of golf a lot of fun, but if they don't stop devising new ways of betting they soon will be penalizing you for your good shots. Even so, those new “backgammon” and “yard- age” games at Burning Tree add some- thing to the zest of the game, even though they don't quite come up to the “animal game” at Congressional in deadliness.
