SPORTS. Evening Star Tourney Deadline Near : New Year Finds Bowling Back on Boom ONE MORE WEEK LEFT T0 QUALIFY «Sholl’s and Occidentals Meet in Snappy Match—Hall Team Zips. BY ROD THOMAS. ERE'S the final week for qualifying in The Evening tar bowling tournament, with $500 in cash prizes to be awarded. And here are the arrangements at & glance: Preliminaries are being held at all‘l alleys, with each participant rolling five games. Twenty-five per cent of the par- ticipants at each plant will qualify for the roll-off, in which the bulk of the $500, plus two gold medals, will be distributed. Handicaps are half the difference between league averages and scratch, 124 for men and 115 for women. There is no entry fee. ‘There will be no cost of any kind for a bowler in the roll-off. All any entrant pays is the price of five| games in the qualifying round. | An entrant may shoot the five-game qualifying set at any alley at any time up to midnight next Saturday. | This tournament has been called | the greatest bargain ever presented | the bowlers. It's not a bargain. It's a gift. If you're a duckpin shooter, no matter of what skill, you have a chance to win a worthwhile prize. The handicaps are fat, so much so that the star bowlers figure themselves half beaten before they start. They'’re All Good. HE hottest team match of the ' season will bring together the Sholl's Cafe bowlers, of the National Capital League and the Occidental Restaurant sharpshooters of the District circult next Saturday | B night at Convention Hall. | ¢ Bowl Performers Come From Afar TANFORD'S duel with Alabama New Year day will be of vital interest to people in many sections. Bobby Grayson, the All- America back, hails from Portland, Oreg. Bob Reynolds, the double-A tackle, is a native of Okmulgee, Okla, and “Monk™” Moscrip, the flashy end, grew up in a little Ohio town. “Bones” Hamilton, the kid most Pacific Coast critics rate as a bet- ter back than Grayson and the spark of the Stanford team, is the pride of Sewickley, Pa. So the folks in Oregon, Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania will have more than a passing inter- est in the Rose Bowl encounter. MAPLES FLOCKED AT LUCKY STRIKE Caponnetto’s 718 Is High in Star Preliminary—May Shoots 669 Set. INS are falling by the carload in the Lucky Strike prelimi- nary of The Evening Star tour- nament, with Tommy Capon- netto of the Times League leading so far with 718 for five games, including & handicap of 60 sticks. Among the high scores rolled at the Lucky in the last several evenings were 23—669, by Henry May; 15—661, by M. Parks; 48-645, by R. De Glantz; 55—635, by Tom Riviere, and 50—632, by R. O. Neff. Recent Lucky Strike scores follow: Ten of the city's best bowlers will| l\el be engaged, with Earl McPhilomy, Ed | Blakeney, Whip Litchfield, Dutch Newman, Hokie Smith, Astor Clarke |y and Joe Harrison at the call of Oc- cidental, and Eddie Espey, Joe Pricci, Charley Walson, Tony Santini, Sam | Simon and Bill Krauss firing for Sholl's. Which is the stronger line-up has | g been a moot question since the start of the season. The match may be the first of a series to determine the city’s match- game championship, now unofficially held by Gus Blacos’ Sunrise Bakery quint, which defeated the Occidentals | last season. | For a Christmas present, Conven- tion Hall's bowlers are giving Man- ager Charley Bell an unexpcted sec- ond place in the District League. Thrown together as a non-prima donna team to represent his place, Bell's green team so far has out- stripped all of the crack District Leaguers except the Occidentals. Looking at Record. 'OE HARRISON, Occidental captain, J has increased his District League average to 125-16 and is well on the way to a record. Hokie Smith is the standout in the National Capital League, with 126-9 for 36 games. Eddie Espey is averaging 124 in the District and 122 in the National Capi- tal and is one of the lads to reckon with in the scrap for top ranking. Johnny Anderson shot 413 at Lucky Strike to break a National C}apital League slump. His average now is 123. Boulevard grabbed two from Occl- dental and cut the leader’s margin over New Center Market, in the Dis- trict League, to three games. Sholl's Cafe moved to within a game of the g G leading Heurich Brewers in the Na- tional Capital. A team any outfit should be pleased to sponsor will represent the Wash B. Williams Coal Co. in the National Duckpin Bowling Congress tournament in March, at the Arcadia. Composed of Hokie Smith, Harry Aiken, Lou Pantos, Bill Miller and Al Woods, it is the same that won the District League championship last year as the King Pins and still is sticking together. The King Pins hold the season record for a league game, with 722, shot at | & Convention Hall. o ENCOURAGES MAT COACH Good V. M. I Material Will Greet Carek, New Mentor. LEXINGTON, Va. December 22.— When Frank Carek, V. M. I's new varsity wrestling coach from Illinois, reports in Lexington early iu Janu- ary he will be greeted by three letter men, the nucleus of the cadet team. Several promising sophomores and reserves from last year’s varsity, how- ever, should make the V. M. I. team as strong as the squad that took run- ner-up honors in the Southern Con- ference tournament. MARCUM’S SO SLOW. William Knebelkamp, president of the Louisville club, thinks so much of | Johnny Marcum, the pitcher he sold | to the Athletics, he named a running | race horse after him and gave Johnny & half interest in the nag. The horse may be a Derby candidate next May. 1If so, Johnny hopes the horse can run | faster than he can. Frenchmen Adopt U. 8. Sport Slang | ARIS (#)—The rapidity with which English words have be- come a part of the French sporting dialect is alarming Paris news- papers. While apprehension lest the Frenchman who understands no English be left far behind has been slumbering for some time, it burst out after the Schmeling-Neusel heavyweight fight. A sporting pa- per, translating “technical knock- out,” blazoned its front page with the streamer, “K-O Technique.” “What in heaven's name does such gibberish mean?” queried an- other paper, “As if such words as ‘tennisman, tenniswoman, record- man and recordwoman® aren't bad enough! Perhaps French equiva- lents are longer, but at least they are intelligible to the majority of those who read them.” Long ago the word “round” was taken into boxing parlance along with “K-0.” Cross-country races in , France are called simply “cross.” ; | Lor - Kettering Dodge .

In Chess Circles BY FRANK B. WALKER. HE United States match cham- pionship checker contest be- tween Newell W. Banks of Detroit and Asa Long of To- ledo, Ohio, resulted as follows: Long, 7, Banks, 3; drawn, 27. This is re- garded as the most important match since Banks met Stewart in Scotland for the world title. Stewart won that match by the score 2 to 1 and 47 draws. The three-move restriction system was adopted in the Banks-Long match. Under it the first three moves a game. This system has been adopted by the American Checker Association as well as by both the English and Scottish associations.

Entry Already Bigger Than for 1934 Event. MILWAUKEE, December 22 (#).— Elmer Baumgarten, secretary of the American Bowling Congress, has an- nounced that entries for the thirty- fifth annual A. B. C. tenpin tourna- ment starting March 1 at Syracuse, already have exceeded the 1,329 total team enrollment last year closing February 1, the 1935 meet is likely to attract well over 2,000 clubs. STRANGE CRACKED UP Misplaced Ribs, Vertebrae Marred Shortstop’s Play for Browns. Alan Strange, the shortstop the St. Louis Browns purchased from Hollywood a year ago, knew there was something handicapping’ him during but his batting was below the mark he expected. Consequently, when the campaign was ended and he returned home, he had an X-ray examination. It showed that two ribs were crossed and two vertebraes were misplaced. The latter condition caused him to go through the season with his neck twisted. Treatments have helped. DOG FIELD TO BE LARGE. BROWNSVILLE, Tenn., December 22 (#).—Dog owners of 30 States will have entries in the field trials of the All-America Field Trial Club on the King plantation, near here, starting January 7. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, Jr. UIET negotiations are under way for the organization of a civiian polo team here to play with and against the officers of Fort Myer at their new rid- ing hall. If the plan materializes, Washing- ton may at last have a taste of a sport currently one of Winter attractions in New York and other large cities. seemed rather strange that no civil- jan-military polo club previously was formed here, in the center of the most active horse district in the United States, whereas towns throughout the East, Middle and Far West long ago took up the game. Should the proposed schemeé be car- ried through, probably the indoor trios will grow into outdoor quartets when Spring comes. All a pleasant conjec- ture, anyway. * k% *x ASHINGTON'S *16 jumping debutantes will put on a headliner act when the Fort Myer hall gets its baptism of ambas- sadors, generals, grand dames, the curious and the incredulous—anything but fire—on January 12. Escorted by 16 pink-coated Army officers, the debs will gallop through one of the most elaborate and colorful drills ever de- vised for a local horse opera. Their entrance into the ring will be her- alded by the approach of a tally-ho, with guard and driver in traditional uniform, horses prancing on at a smart clip. After a snappy parade around the inclosure, the tally-ho will depart, the 32 riders gallop on into their jumping ride over a series of barriers about 3 feet 4 inches in height. Go- ing first singly, then in pairs, fours, and finally eight at a time, the per- formers will trace an intricate pattern in the ring. This little blurb, a brief paraphrase of Capt. Frank Allen’s excellent and detailed treatise on the ride, is in- serted merely to give you an idea how the Fort Myer Committee is moving its wonders to perform. As they used to say at Mr. Barnum’s, this is but one of the thouuuusands of world famous oddities to be seen just inside the tent. e LETCHER HARPER, M. F.

Horseshoe Pitchers Looking To Henson-Frye Title Scrap ITH no cause for stage fright, Raymond L. Frye of Orkney Springs, Va., tossed 95 ringers out of 100 pitches, and this is a fact of big moment as horseshoe pitchers of the ‘Washington metropolitan area look to 1935, Heralded as the cleverest ringer have seen and one I don’t expect to see again.

Rod and Stream % T A conference of experts and leaders in a movement for & Nation-wide stream purification program held this month with Secre- | tary of War Dern, a program was out- lined to have States bordering a watershed enter a compact to clean up the rivers from source to mouth. In discussing this program Senator Lonergan of Connecticut said recom- mendations would be presented to nite policy to control pollution of | streams matter. He said at present the Fed- eral Government has only one law by it is administered by the Secretary of War to prevent dumpting of solid waste matter into navigable streams. Even under this law, he said, it is possible for large cities to dump mil- each day in liquid form. Aside from the health standpoint, which is paramount, Senator Lonergan pointed out, this waste, and the vast expenditures required in frequent dredging of navigable streams where liquid sewage settled to obstruct ship- ping, as well as the great damage to fish and wild life, represent a much greater outlay than would be required utilization. project, the Senator said, but one which will definitely devieop within the coming months and may result in the creation of a watershed commis- | B4 which it can exercise such control, and | N by a unified system of control and | War It is by no means a fantastical M SPORTS JOE HARRISON.

GULLI | big-coin event, 'HARRISON STAND OUT IN "4 Clarke Takes Top Honors as Tourney Performer. King Pins Best. M months of 1934, but all are happy now. The game has made & sensational comeback after the most doleful season in its history. As Jim Berryman pointed out in a cartoon the other day, Old Man Depression this Fall was thrown out on his ear by the duckpin industry. Renewed interest in the spoft is re- flected in an increase of from 25 to 40 per cent in alley receipts, depending upon the establishment, over the same period a year ago. Joe Harrison and Lorraine Gulli were the outstanding bowlers in Washington during 1934. Each re- ceived the No. 1 ranking not only for the Capital, but for the country. Harrison barely missed a record for the all-star District League with an averagz of 124, and Miss Gulli eraged 115 in the Ladies’ District League for a figure which, a few years ago, was thought beyond the reach of a member of her sex. OST bowlers are pleased to forget the first several Clarke Gets the Dough. NOTHER Washington bowler A earned rare distinction. Astor Clarke, with triumphs in the United States and Dixie Sweepstakes, in competition with the best duckpin bowlers of the country, was the fore- most tournament performer of the 1833-34 season and placed second in the National Duckpin Bowling Con- gress rankings. His general average was approximately 123, a point under Harrison. In winning the United States Sweepstakes Clarke established a Dis- trict record of 2,036 for 15 games. Several marks were chalked up by Miss Gulli, the most notable of which were her District League average of 115; a game of 184, a five-game set of 644 and a three-game total of 433; the 433 helping the Lucky Strike team to a championship in the National Duckpin Bowling Congress tourna- ment. She contributed 149 sticks to a record game of 643 rolled by the Luckies in that event. Same Old Lo Lorraine. ISS GULLI now is defending a championship in The Eve- ning Star tournament, an event she won last season with a five-game scratch score of 607, one of the highest marks ever achieved by a girl in any five-game tournament. In win- | ning the men’s section of the last Star event, Jack Whalen rolled 679, to tie the record made two years pre- vious by Carroll Daly. Major team honors went to the | King Pins, who won the pennant in the District League, though beaten by several teams on total pinfall ; | Captained by Hokie Smith, the King Pins were an inspired lot when a few pins meant the difference between victory and defeat. They were the “hitless wonders” of duckpins. The National Capital League pennant went to the Lucky Strike Barbers after a hot race. The city's blue-ribbon money tour- nament, the Howard Campbell Sweep- stakes, was won by Sam Simon and it was a popular victory. Sam rolled 1,973 for a tournament record. Miss Gulli, as usual, won the girls’ the Meyer Davis Sweepstakes and successfully defended the title a short time back. Girl Sets Record. ER pal, Billie Butler, won the first annual Lorraine Gulli 1 Sweepstakes with a world rec- ord score of 1,239 for 10 games, Miss Gulli did not compete in this. Ed Blakeney, now smashing the headpin for the Heurich Brewers, av- eraged 136.6 for 10 games, to win the George Washington Sweepstakes and set a record for the tournament. One of Joe Harrison's noteworthy victories was in the Atlantic Coast singles, in which he averaged 130.6. | In the coast doubles, Astor Clarke | paired with Johnny Anderson, a sen- sation this season, to win with 857. ‘The brunt of intercity warfare was borne by Fred Buchholz's Occidentals, who more than held their own. To start the year of 1934, Wash- ington's bowlers were in the doldrums and the business men of the game on the verge of despair. Winding up the year the game in every respect is better off than it has been since the boom days. FEARS FOR VANDY QUINT Ineligibility Is Bugaboo of Cody, Who Sees Many Lickings. NASHVILLE, Tenn, December 22 (P).—Basket Ball Coach Josh Cody has six of last year's letter men re- turning for the Vanderbilt varsity this season, plus three excellent sophomore prospects, but says “we’ll probably lose to the same teams we lost to last year.” Cody's pessimism comes principally from the ineligibility bugaboo. Only Skinny Huggins, last year's captain, was lost by. graduation, but Bobby Oliver is out with appendicitis, Glenn Overly has not shown up, and in- eligibility threatens other letter men.
