Bowling Solons Snapped io Life : Plan Staggered Golf Schedule Here - WALWEE'S FIGHT DESTROYS ENNUI Comes Close to Unseating Ebarsole as Secretary of Ruling Body. BY ROD THOMAS. ITH new spirit, the Wash- ington City Duckpin As- soclation today began to prepare for its annual champiohships, to be held at the Co- lumbia, starting April 23. After many years of taking a lot of things for granted, the association was awakened with something of a shock yesterday at its yearly meeting and election of officers, held at the Raleigh Hotel. A vote for secretary, key job of the organization, revealed that the city’s duckpin shooters haven't been al- together satisfied with the associa- tion’s rule of the game, the feeling being that it had gone more or less to seed. A year ago Ben McAlwee, scorer of the District and National Capital Leagues and with an unofficial hand in most of the major doings of the game, stuck out his long chin and gunuy demanded the job of secre- Ben Makes It a Battle, E WAS beaten decisively by Ar- ville Ebersole, who has handled the post, and at times with ex- traordinary ability, since 1926. But | yesterday McAlwee returned to the quest and his campaign was very nearly successful. This time Ebersole won by 29 votes to 27. Then he did a magnanimous thing. He caused to be created a new job, obviously for McAlwee. For the first time in its long history—it was organ- ized in 1910—the association will have a press agent. McAlwee was elected to the job which was proposed by Eber- sole and will receive $250 a year. The alley owners will be requested to pay the salary, contributing according to the sizes of their plants—four bits a drive is the proposed quota—and if the sum realized thus is not sufficient, Ebersole will make up the difference from his secretary’s pay, which is $400 a year. So, instead of one hustler—for Eber- by W. is going out for golf in & big way this year. With the national intercollegiate in- dividual championship tournament al- ready landed for Congressional, with Georgetown as host, during the third week in June, the Hoya linksmen now are angling for the Eastern intercol- legiate team title tourney, to which all the major colleges of the East send hopeful club flingers to do or die for dear old Siwash. The dates chosen are May 10 and 11, which fall on a Friday and Satur- day, and it looks as if Congressional again will be the spot where the rah- rah boys will be doing their divot digging for the team title. Last year the Hilltop aggregation, composed of the same lads who will be out there this year, finished in fourth place in the team tourney, but Joe Lynch, the rotund little Boston boy who heads the Georgetown out- fit, hopes for a better showing this year. Georgetown’s opening match of the season will be with Rollins Col- lege of Orlando, Fla. early in April, with Lynch, Kenneth Corcoran, Joe Galvin, John O'Brien, Bill Byrnes, Jimmie Lee and “Curly” Wochner the probable starters. OLAND MACKENZIE, Congres- R sional pro, is expected back in the old home town this week, prepared to blast the lid off the golf season at his club with a flock of subpar scores. No one has heard from Roland for several days, but he wrote Claggett Stevens, his assistant, that he will be on the job on March 1, which means that the young man may breeze into town tomorrow or ‘Wednesday, to open up the ranch STRAIGHT OIF THE TEE R.MECALLUM house which he built last year back in the woods about three miles from the first tee at nal. Ro- land is going to have trouble with his shoulder, according to word he Temporary greens still are in use at the Congressional course. Al Houghton probably will b & few dollars richer this afternoon when he gets through firing birdies at the boys who gather to play in a little informal tourney at Kenwood, staged under the auspices of the Middle At- lantic P. G. A. The boys are worried over the choosing of a team to face the Japanese team in May. ) LL this good weather following so much snow has Harry Graham, Rock Creek Park manager, on his -toes. Harry is thinking seriously of changing the projected date for his Rock Creek Park “open” from late March to the middle of that month, provided the weather holds good. It's a poor month in Spring or Fall that Harry cannot get up a little tourna- ment for his lands. He is a live wire in the tournament game—this Graham fellow—and he isn't happy unless he is promoting a tournament. In between making plans for the coming Beaver Dam “field day,” to be held either late in May or early in June, and furbishing up the old golf game, Russell M. Brown, the big golf committeeman at Beaver Dam, took time off yesterday to brush up on his iron shots, all of which resulted in holing a pitch shot from threescore yards for a 2 on the par 3 fifth after he had missed the green from the tee. Meanwhile, J. M. Palmer waltzed around the lengthy Beaver Dam course in 73 strokes, one above par for the layout. HAGEN IS LEADER BY TWO STROKES 0ld Maestro Adds 71 to 64 in Gasparillo Tourney. Doser Is Second. sole is all of that when tournament | time approaches—the association will have two this year and that party at the Columbia—mark this for a cer-| tainty—will be a whale of an affair. | Lot of Time Wasted. | UE to a prolonged discussion over matters that seemed either in- | ccnsequential or out of the asso- | ciation’s jurisdiction, the meeting was | unable to handle half the problems that were to be set before it but an- other opportunity will be given the bowling legislators to settle them be- | fore the next season is well under | way. At the suggestion of George Harbin, | president of the big Holy Name So- ciety League, the constitution was amended to change the date of the annual meeting and election from | February to the second Sunday after Labor day. So, at the next session, the association will lay out its cam- paign at the start instead of at the fag end of the season. This probably will have the effect of keeping the association on the job throughout the season instead of the last month or two of it, which has been pretty much the case since it was organized. ‘The biggest attendance in its his- tory turned out for the W. C. D. A. meeting yesterday, with 57 leagues represented. Another constitution amendment will exclude all alley employes from future meetings. All officers were re-elected, with Harry Z. Greer, & very stable and | level-headed leader, as president for & sixth term. The association will give a dance, 1t voted, to swell its fund. HEURICH DRIBBLERS DRIVE HARD TO WIN Trail at Half, but Beat Penn A. C., 44-27—Berlinger Is Stopped at Center. 7 A FTER finishing behind the Penn A. C. at the half, 11-12, the Heurich Brewers last night stepped out in a scoring way and swept to an easy 44-27 win. It was the Brewers' third straight victory. Barney Berlinger, former Olympic luminary and University of Pennsyl- vania athlete, was at center for Penn A. C. He showed well during the early going, but neither he nor any of his mates could withstand Heu- richs’ second-half drive. Moon Evans, Joe Croson and Ralph Bennie, with 11, 9 and 7 points, respectively, were leaders in the Heurich offense, while Waléerl. with 9, was high for Penn A 8holl's quint was a 33-26 winner over the Stonewall Democratic Club of Baltimore in the preliminary.

EW YORK, February 25— There is a strong likelthood that the United States Lawn Association, which governs tennis in this country, will go in for promotion of the sport in a bigger way next year, using the indoor cham- pionships as & basis for an educa- tional program. " The national senior men’s and wom- en’s champlonships, held in the 7th Regiment Armory here for several years, have been operated at a finan- cial loss from a spectator angle. To some extent the admission price of $1.10 for the early rounds and $1.50 for the semi-finals and the final has tended to keep the size cf the gallery down. A. Castle, Postley, president of the Tth Regiment Club, which sponsors the tournaments, under the auspices of the U. S. L. T. A, is in favor of cutting the admission price at least in half for the first four days and pos- sibly the entire duration of the tour- naments, Break for Public Parkers. “YTS a good idea and worthy of consideration,” said Postley. “It might be attempted next year with the thought in mind of giving young players—the type that goes in for the game on courts in public parks and the like—an opportunity to see prominent players in action.” During the entirc week of the 28th annual women’s indoor championships, brought to a close Saturday with Jane Sharp's triumph over Helen Pedersen on the final for the singles title, there were slightly more than 2500 persons on hand and many of that number were admitted on compli- mentary tickets. Miss Sharp, whose home is in Pasa- dena, Calif,, and who ranks sixth in the Nation, made a sensational come- ?:.ICK against Miss Pedersen to win the itle, The Californian lost the first three games, won the next three to draw level and finally broke through Miss Pedersen’s service in the nineteenth game to take the first set, 11—9. Fifteen minutes later Miss Sharp had | annexed the championship by win- ning the second set, 6—1. —_ T0 GIVE BLUEBIRD STANDING WORKOUT Campbell to Run Engine in Ga- rage—Hopes to Make Trial Spin Before Week Is Out. By the Associated Press. AYTONA BEACH, Fla., February 25—Sir Malcolm Campbell planned to run the engine of his racing car, Bluebird, in the ga- rage today, happy in the belief that before the week is out he may have it roaring again over the sands in a final warm up for a trial against his own record of 272.108 miles an hour. Beach conditions were as bad to- day as they have ever been, the sand rough, slippery and marred by gullies and trenches, but the wind was blow- ing at times from the northeast, the quarter needed to drive the tides high and smooth the sand. Bluebird's engine hasn't been started in more than a week. Sir Malcolm expects to make a test run Thursday if the beach is at all better. L3 Entered in Meet to Be Held Tomorrow U. S. RANDLE, BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. NEVITABLY the Army gives us some of our best horse shows every year. From the gaudy thrills of the Garden international competitions to the mildest affair on a balmy Spring afternoon, every exhibition intrusted to the military gentlemen is redolent of originality, color and imagination. The availability of uniforms, brass bands and other bright trappings in general denied the civilian may in part account for the superiority of Army fetes. A portion may be at- tributed to the willingness to inject variety and novelty into programs, which most hunting people like to see devoted to hunters and little else; saddle horse fans prefer to dedicate to their pet types, etc., ad infinitum. The Army managers will play ball with anybody’s type of horse, if you will overlook a scrambled allusion. Consider, for example, the schedule mapped out for the Fort Myer indoor show tomorrow night in the new riding Virginia hills. Prevents Varied Card. IEUT. COL. J. L. DEVERS and Lieut. Col. George S. Patton, jr., have laid out eight classes, covering every field of equine activity from hauling caissons to chasing foxes. With the Riding and Hunt Club indoor ring neatly folded into ob- livion, the future of indoor horse sport around here lies squarely in the lap of the Fort Myer folk. They have the ring, they have better facilities than the Twenty- second and P street building ever of- fered, and, to judge from the initial hall, which is the pride of our nearby |, & 4 e \' effort, they will supply entertainment equal to public expectations. The civilian element in the local horse world is provided a splendid chance for competition at the fort, under conditions often more suitable for non-military animals and riders than for members of the garrison. It may, therefore, be expected that the horses formerly seen in action on P street will transfer their Winter ring antics to Fort Myer. The crowd should go with them, for seating ac- commodations in the new riding hall are infinitely superior to those in any other indoor arena in the city. Cavalrymen to Show. HE 3d Cavalry and 16th Field Artillery will send their crack horsemen into the fray tomor- row night and in the military and open classes a few American Olympic prospects will be under saddle. The eight events are to be: 1. Jumping, open to four enlisted men from “each troop of the 3d_ Cavalry and each battery of the 16th Pleld Artillery on public horses assigned to their organi- zations.

IN CHESS CIRCLES BY FRANK NNOUNCEMENT of the com- ing tournament for the Dis- trict title has created a great deal of interest. There is prospect of a contest for first place between the young blood and those who are veterans, or approaching that class. In the first class are D. H. Mugridge, Martin C. Stark, Carl A. Hesse and H. A. Rousseau. Sournin and the- chess editor are classed as veterans and C. C. Bettinger and G. L. Tilleary are near that class. Carl Hesse was absent from the city for some time, but always has proved a good fighter. He was champion of the Chess Club when it was & unit of the City Club. The tournament will be played at the Capital City Chess Club rooms in Hotel Gordon, 916 Sixteenth street. The public is invited. " YEAR or so ago the Roosevelt Community Center made a spe- cialty of chess at its Monday evening sessions. There was an en- rollment of 22 members. Dr. Joy Elmer Morgan furnished the chess en- thusiasm, which kept up until ab- sences from the city and various duties prevented his being present at the center. The attendance then fell off, and finally was reduced to two members. The boards and men for those who want to use them are in the hands of Miss Irving, director of the community center. J. Murray Drysdale, jr., who won the District junior championship title here in 1931, used to play chess at the Roosevelt Community Center. He now is at Cambridge, Ohio, studying for the ministry. He expects to grad- uate in another year. He has an at- tractive personality and should suc- ceed. Jackson W. Showalter, former champlon of the United States, died at his home at of years, and defeated Max Judd, Lipschutz, Kemeny and Barry for the | Wilso ipschutz, y title. Pillsbury defeated him.

HE late move of the Capital City Chess ‘Club to the Hotel Gor- don, 916 Sixteenth street north- west, is proving beneficial to the club. New members to the number of 13 have been elected to the club and the attendance has increased. Among the new members is Albert W. Fox, who has played in national tourna- ments and in the tournaments United States vs. Great Britain and Wash- ington vs. London. The new rooms are more commodious and the ac- commodations much better. It was announced before the Mexico City international tournament that Carlos Torre would stage a come- back in that contest. He did not take part. It appears that before the tournament he played two games with Reuben Fine, the excellent young American player, the first of which PFine won, the second being a draw. This probably discouraged him. Re- covery of chess ability after ill health is known from personal experience to be slow. REGAINS GOLF TITLE.

CORNELL, PENN SEEK TO UPSET COLUMBIA Lions Must Defeat Both This Week to Retain Basket League Leadership. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, February 25.—Their perfect record spoiled by Dart- mouth, the Columbia Lions will need to dig in to protect their hold on first place in the Eastern Intercolle- giate Basket Ball League this week. Beaten for the first time in eight league games by Dartmouth Saturday night, the Lions will invade Ithaca for a tussle with Cornell Wednesday be- fore their all-important return game with Penn at Philadelphia Saturday. Neither task looks easy. Should Penn and Columbia both win their Wednesday games Columbia will be leading the Quakers by half a game when they take the court at Phila- delphia, and first place will be at stake. With two home games on their slate, Pitt's Panthers can take a wide lead in the Eastern Intercollegiate Con- ference. They now top the standings, with three victories and one defeat. The Panthers tackle Temple on Wednesday and Carnegie on Saturday and figure to win both. Temple now is tied with West Virginia for second place, with four victories and two de- feats, but may gain full possession of that spot tonight when Carnegie Tech invades the Owls’ home court.

BLYEARLY SCHEME CROWING IN FAVOR Four Big Events a Season Would Avoid Conflict and Congestion. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ORE and more each year the golf clubs around Washing- ton, surfeited with an end- less round of invitation tour« naments, are coming to the scheme of staging staggered tournaments, with about four big affairs to be held each year on a rotating system that will overcome the crowded sched- ule of past links seasons through & definite schedule whose main purpose will be to avoid crowding and con- flicting dates for the major events. With the Manor Club already com- mitted to the bi-yearly scheme of holding an invitation tournament every other year, on the odd years, the Washington Golf and Country Club has joined the parade, and there are indications that Columbia, a local leader in golf, may fall in with the procession of clubs holding invitation events every two years instead of every year. Washington and Columbia will not hold invitation links affairs this year, and Washington has an- nounced its determination to adopt the bi-yearly schedule. While no intima- ticn has come from Columbia as to its future tournament probabilities, it is more than likely that the big club near Chevy Chase Lake also will fall into line on the bi-yearly tourna= ment schedule. Chevy Chase Carries On. HE only club that appears defl- nitely committed to the annual mvitation tournament around Washington is the Chevy Chase Club, whose invitation tournaments have gone on without a break since 1911, when President Taft and Vice Presi- dent Sherman presented to the club the prized trophies which now go to the winner and runner-up in the Chevy Chase tournaments. Tourna- ments have been held by other clubs at odd intervals, among them Wood- mont, Beaver Dam, Belle Haven, Army-Navy and Congressional, but these clubs have not held their events regularly and would probably fall into line in a staggered schedule, if such a proposition were put into effect. ‘Ten clubs scattered in nearby Mary= land and Virginia within a short dis- tance of Washington have held or are holding invitation golf tournaments. If they were split up into a definite staggered arrangement for their invi- tation tournaments on a bi-annual basis it would result in the holding of four or five such affairs each year on a rotating schedule which would be definite and which would preclude jockeying for dates and possible con- flicts through May and June, the choice tournament months. The clubs are Chevy Chase, Columbia, Congres- sional, Beaver Dam, Army-Navy, In- dian Spring, Washington, Belle Haven, ‘Woodmont and Manor. Bannockburn, for the present at least, is out of the tournamept picture. Here is how the schedule might work out under such a set-up: 1936, Washington, Colum- bia, Chevy Chase, Indian Spring and Belle Haven; 1937, Woodmont, Army- Navy, Chevy Chase, Manor and Con- gressional. Too Many Tournaments. BVIOUSLY the District of Co- lumbia Golf Association cannot tell its member clubs whether they shall hold invitation tournaments. That right rests within the club itself, but equally obviously there isn't any doubt that the fathers of the game locally would like to see a considerable diminution in the number of invita- tion tournaments held around Wash- ington each Spring. There have been too many of them, and with so many links affairs in prospect every tourna- ment suffers. When you combine a flock of big~ time invitation affairs with the sec- tional qualification rounds for the na- tional championships, the District and Middle Atlantic championship affairs and other links jamborees there isn't any doubt that golf tournaments are like politicians—there are too many of 'em. Concentrate on a few good ones each year under a staggered sys- tem which can be made a fixture and you would have more sustained inter- est and better events.
