SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 1935. . = All-Wars Parade Fort Myer High Spot : Youth Threatens Amateur L3 QUAINT TRAPPINGS 10 ADORN TROOPS Uniforms of All American Conflicts Will Be Worn. Rodeo on Program. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. HE Barnums of Fort Myer are, as you have probably heard, planning an immensely spec- tacular opening march for their great fiesta at the new riding hall next Saturday afternoon and night. The idea is to parade before your eyes troops garbed in the uniforms worn by American soldiers in all their wars from the Revolutionary to the late unpleasantness in Europe. As most of these are to be mounted there arises a point of authenticity in re- gard to the hosses. What kind of nags did the Colonial hardies use when they could muster any such at all? Will the great con- glomeration of five-gaited peacocks, plow plugs and race horses ridden by Southern troops during the War Be- tween the States be represented in the parade, or will the Federals (now called the United States Army), who won, consider that the Confederates ever were American forces at all? Idle speculation aside, we expect the historical parade will be a wow, planted in a program full of wows, if we may believe the promises of Lieut. Col. George S. Patton’s committee. Another item of unvarying interest {s the rodeo ride, famous for years at this post, and scheduled to be per- formed again this year “with a whoopie and a yip yip,” the press releases say. 0dd Names for Stunts. E HAD always wondered what- ‘/‘/ ever names were given the astounding acrobatics of the ‘Troop F horsemen, assuming, of course, that even a rough rider has a name for everything. The dispatches from Myer enlighten us. ‘There is Corpl. John Roslich’s “Lay- Out-Stirrup-Ride,” for example. A flamboyant term for a reckless bit of business. And Pvt. (First Class) Frank Di Prince does the “Russian Drag,” not a dance. Neither is the “Tail Drag.” Then we have the “Haunch Ride,” explicitly pictorial; “Back-Flip,” “Spread Eagle,” “Dead Man.” One of the most intriguing is the “Double Airplane,” probably, with the trick- sters spinning all over their horses from ear to hock. Whilst on the subject of the local soldiers, the artillery horses over at the Virginia post have been moping funerally since Christmas day, not because of some fancied slight from the reindeer troops, but because the battery pet, “Nippy,” died that A veteran campaigner in the peace- time routes of the 16th Field Artil- lery since 1919, Nippy had intrenched himself in the affections, superstitions and traditions of the unit. Evereybody turned out for a mili- tary funeral given the old boy at the dog cemetery near Arlington. The horses still droop, Camden Getting Ready. OR those who already are cast- ing suspicious glances at the weather forecasts around here, remembering the collapse of local fox hunting last February and March, these words from Harry Kirkover’s pet Southern child, Camden, 8. C., will be of more than passing interest. Work is under way already to im- prove the course for the hunter trials on Februayy 21 and the Washington’s birthday races the following afternoon. The hrose show has been set for March 15 and 16, to fit in with Aiken’s dates of March 20 and 21. The Caro- lina Cup races will be held on March 30. Drag hunting already has begun. So has polo.

IVERSIDE, Calif, January 7.— Charles Guest, Los Angeles, had a card of 65 strokes posted here today for the rest of the golfers to shoot at in the Winter tournament tour. Charles Guest. Al Barbee, A driving-range pro, Guest set up this yesterday in the final round of the Riverside $2,000 amateur-pro golf tournament as he and his partner, Al Barbee, Hollywood, turned in a great par-plundering best-ball score of 62, 10 strokes under par, to win the title. While Barbee had to be content with the trophy, he aided Guest in picking up a total of $262.50 prize money. Guest was the low scorer of the tournament because he shot a 69 Saturday when he and Barbee came in with a 65 best ball. Second Place a Tie. IED for second yesterday were California and a Texas team. Jimmy Thomson, Long Beach, teamed with Phil Finlay, one of the best amateurs in Southern Califor- nia, and Bryon Netson, Texarkana, Tex., paired with a former Texan, Lieut. Bob Israel, to turn in 64s. Fourth place also resulted in a tie. Fay and Chet Coleman, Culver City, and Vic Ghezzi, Dean, N. J, and H. G. Strathern, Hollywood, shot cards of 65. The golfers move to the Hillcrest Country Club, Los Angeles, for a one-day stand for $400 in prize money. Another similar one-day event for $400 will be held at Lakeside, Holly- wood, followed by the Los Angeles gpen with $5,000 prize money Satur- ay. 30 DATES FOR RED SOX Clubs From Six Leagues Listed for Spring Training Trip. BOSTON, January 7 (#).—The Red Sox have a Spring training season schedule that calls for 30 games against clubs in six different leagues. Manager Joe Cronin will start his players against the Giants in Miami on March 13 and from then on the Red Sox will have only one open date until they return to Boston to finish the intercity series with the Braves. Nineteen games have been booked with eight major league teams—the Braves, Giants, Reds, Cardinals and Phillies of the National League and the Athletics, Tigers and Browns of the American circuit. The Red Sox also will engage three Southern League teams—Atlanta, Bi¥- mingham and Knoxville—Newark of the International League, Columbus of the American Association and Rich- mond and Charlotte of the Piedmont League. General Manager Eddie, Collins has notified the battery candfdates to re- port to Cronin at Sarasota on March 1 and the rest of the squad four days later, when Spring practice will be started. The team will head North on April 2. GROOM QUITS SCHOOL. Following announcement of his secret marriage last June to Phyllis Easterly, his sweetheart for two years, Johnny Fitzgerald, star guard for the last three seasons on the Takoma- Silver Spring High School basket ball team, left school today. Basket Briefs Play in the Prince Georges County (Md.) Basket Ball League opens Thursday night, when the Laurel A. C. engages Certified Bakers at 7:30, and Company F, National Guard, meets Maryland A. C. The games will be played on the armory court at Hyattsville, which will be the scene of all league tilts. The other two teams, Mount Rainier Grays and Mount Rainier Independ- ents, will battle next Sunday. Com- pany F won the league flag last year. Community Center League games carded tonight are: Roosevelt League, majors, 7:30, Acacia vs. Olmstead Grill. Southeast League, < BOWLERS AWAIT TOURNEY PAY-OFF Committee Audits Scores, Handicaps in Evening Star’s Big Event. . BY ROD THOMAS. CORES were being audited and handicaps checked today prior to the pay-off in The Evening Star bowling tournament, which ended with a sensational blast Satur- day night at the Lucky Strike, Sev- eral changes are almost certain to be made in the list of prize winners, hastily drawn late Saturday night for Sunday’s paper. In the meantime, J. M. (Monk) Walker, winner of the men’s division, and Mrs. George L. Isemann, winner of the women's, are receiving bouquets by the armful for having triumphed in probably the toughest bowling tour- nament in the country to cop. Three Beat Record. IDED by handicaps, the tourna- ment record of 679 was beaten by Walker, with 20—692; Melvin E. Rock, 53—689, and C. A. Robinette, 40—681, Lorraine Gulli's mark for the girls, 607, made last year, stood up with nine sticks to spare, as Mrs. Ise- mann rolled 50—598, Edna Johnson 45—597 and Miss Gulli 597 from scratch. No champion ever went to defeat more gallantly than Lorraine Gulli. Battling handicaps calculated to daunt the heartiest, she went about her task with utmost confidence and all but succeeded. Her last-box strike will be remembered as one of the greatest bids for victory ever made on a bowling alley. That she counted two pins too few to win was a cruel trick of fortune. Mrs. Isemann took the first prize and it was the most popular success in the seven years' history of the tournament, but Miss Gulli came away with honors befitting her status as the queen of duckpins. For the second straight year she shot the high scratch score of her division and in doing so established what is believed to be a record for women by making & quadruple strike, Really a Tough Break. ER hard luck was more than matched, perhaps, by that of Edna Johnson, who stumbled on a spare, fouled and lost eight pins that would have given her first place. The raised handicaps had the planned effect of saving the bulk of the $500 prize money for the duf- fers. Not more than three or four bowlers of more than average rank made their way into the men’s pay- off. However, the girl stars fared much better. From beginning to end the tourna- ment, which drew a record field of approximately 1,800, with preliminaries | being held at all alleys, was the snap- plest yet sponsored by The Star. That the annual event essentially is a duf- fers’ party was more apparent than ever, the stars gracefully accepting the Pharmacy.

IAMI, Fla, January 7.—With Wille Klein and Tommy Armour tied for the lead, a flock of crack golfers sharp- ened their sights today for a stiff battle in the 36-hole final of the Miami open golf tournament.

A fleld of 65 pros and 10 amateurs were ready for the finals. Arnold Minkley of Cleveland, Ohio, topped the amateur fleld with a 75—73—148.

Contacting Erickson while in New York yesterday, Cornell definitely secured his services following his ar- rival here early this morning.

GENERALS’ QUINTET GETS TEST TONIGHT Veteran Array, Backed by Sophs of Ability, Ready to Take St. John's Tossers. EXINGTON, Va, January 7.— Washington and Lee's basket ball team, champion of the | Southern Conference, will swing into action tonight for the first time this | season against collegiate competition when they tackle St. John's of An- napolis here. Playing without Capt. Charlie Smith, the Generals were fairly im- pressive in two practice games dur- ing December, whipping Waynesboro and Roanoke all-star aggregations in decisive fashion. Smith, however, will be at center tonight. It is regarded as certain that Nor- man Iler, speedy sophomore, will be in the starting line-up, along with Joe Pette, veteran forward. Besides Smith and Pette, three more letter men are available. They are Bill Ellis, Bob Fields and Chip Jones, guards. Horace Richardson, sophomore cen- ter, is another basketer on whom Young will depend for scoring. D. C. PRO BASKETERS SCORE IN BALTIMORE Heurichs, Beaten Here, Get Back at Fleet Wings—Rinaldi's Drub Dominics. EURICH BREWERS of this city and Gettysburg Fleet Wings broke even on the basket ball court yesterday.: The Wings conquered the Brewers, 33-30, in an afternoon game inthe George Washington gym- nasium, but the District of Columbia team playing under the name of the Empire Laundry evened scores by downing the Pennsylvanians, 41-36, last night in Baltimore. The night game was a Bailtimore Semi-Pro League affair. - Otts Zahn, Washington boy. who formerly captained the George Wash- ington basketers, scored only 2 points for the Wings in the afternoon game, but these were vital in his team’s victory. He came through with a court goal in the final minutes to put the visitors ahead, 31-30. Just before the game ended Cal Heller dropped in two shots from the foul line. The game here was the first home test of the season for the Brewers and their third defeat in 48 starts. It was a battle royal all the way, with Gettysburg leading at the half, 16-14. Bozie Berger, with 8 points led the Heurich’s attack, but Hoke and Heller of the winners each counted 10. In the night game the Brewers were ahead at the half, 30-16. Ralph Bennie, with 11 points; Joe Croson, with 10, and Berger, with 9 were their high scorers. Rinaldi Tailors, another District of Columbia team, also won in the Balti- more Semi-Pro League last night, drubbing the Dominic’s quint of the Monumental City, 25-14. Goldblatt, with 7 points, was high scorer for the winners, who were in front at the half, 25-14. There’s a SPORTS PARADE Kill OHNNY OVERTON was Yale's I athletes the world ever knew.

Brick didn't do a doggoned thing but sink six aces in nine holes, to play the course in a total of 12 strokes, a record that probably will stand for a long time, as the distance between the cups is not short and some of his aces were 20-footers.

AKE way for the kids in the next national amateur golf championship. Boys of the stripe of Billy Dettweiler, Congressional youngster; Bobby Jones of Detroit and Bobby Jacobson of Deal, N. J, are not yet geared to topple the crown from the brow of seasoned campaigners like Lawson Little of California. But it won't be long. Some of these straight-hitting lads, with the raw courage of youth and all its confidence, soon will begin knocking over the champions of other years and shoving them on the down- ward trail which leads to competitive oblivion. ‘They started last year up at Brcoke line, where Quimet, the great champ- jon of 20 years ago, fell before the inspired shots of young Jones, and Johnny Goodman, the Omaha lad who probably never will win the amateur championship, dropped out in the first round at the hands of young Jacobson. There are lots of others. Golf is no game nowadays for any one indi- vidual or group of individuals to dom= inate the tournament picture as did the Chick Evanses, the Bob Gardners, the Bobby Jones and the Ouimets of other years. The game has become too universal; too many kids are playe ing it and playing it well for any man to stay at the top over any con- siderable stretch. Willie Turnesa Dangerous. ISTEN to the men who know the game and you will hear the name of Willie Turnesa of Elms- ford, N. Y., mentioned in those con= versations which golfers have as they discuss past champions and coming crown-wearers. Willie knocked over George Dun- lap, the 1933 champion, at Brookline last year with the hottest round of the tournament, and then, with a mediocre round, fell before Lawson Little. Little was the best man in that 1924 championship. You couldn't get any argument on that. But suppose | Turnesa had had the same hot round | against him that he had against Dun- |1ap in the morning.
