S B — PORTS. THE SUNDAY S TAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., MARCH 10, 1935—PART _ O SPORTS. B—11 Dubs’ Tourney Goes Big With Bowlers : Johnston on Ropes Seeking Baer Foe OPENS SATURDAY | AT LUCKY STRIKE” Uncle Sam Gives Harrison| Chance to Defend His National Ranking. BY ROD THOMAS. most popular bowling sweep- stakes held annually in Wash- ington, the Bill Wood Dubs, will get under way next Sat- urday at the Lucky Strike. Only bowlers with averages of less than 107 are eligible and this admits probably 75 per cent of the city's duckpin shooters. An attractive feature of the tourna- ment is the low entry fee. The five- dollar levy includes the cost of fifteen games, which makes the entry fee actually a mere two bucks. This will be the sixth running of the tournament and it promises to | be a whopper. It is one of the few bowling events open to both sexes and not a few girls are expected to enter. The first set will be rolled at the Lucky Strike, the second at the King | Pin and the firal at the Lucky Strike, on_successive Saturdays. Clifton Hollis will be the defending champion, unless his average has bounded since last season. He won a fat prize last year with J. K. Rhyne, Joe Blendman, J. Hill and J. Hardesty collecting the minor money. Harrison Gets Break. 'OE HARRISON probably is the happiest bowler in Washington. A fortnight ago the No. 1 duckpinner of the country thought he would be deprived of an opportunity to cling to the high perch. A Government employe, his hours were changed and Joe was urable to make the bowling dates of his team, Occidental Res- taurant, likely winner of the District League pennant. But the other day his boss came to his rescue and Harrison now will be permitted to finish the District League schedule. This means more to Joe than a chance to retain the top rank- ing. It is extremely probable it will permit him to hang up an all-time record for the District League and become one of the few bowlers ever to win the championship of that all- star circuit more than once. He needs five more sets to qualify, and a half dozen remain on the sched- ule. He is 50 pins up on the record established by Earl McPhilomy two seasons back and needs only a pace of | 365 from here out to top the Earl. Joe can hit that without effort. He can average 345 for the six sets and still win the championship unless his closest rivals do better than 380. His current average is 125—42 for 57 games. McPhilomy's record was 124—41 for 89 strings. McPhilomy and Harry Krauss are the only bowlers to win the District League champior.ship more than once, Earl having triumphed three times and Harry twice. They share the dis- tinction of having won twice in a row probably the toughest title at stake in duckpins. Harrison no doubt will be- come the third to turn the trick. All About the Girls. ME Ladies’ District League pen- nant may be decided on total pins. By winning two games from Arcadia while the Lucky Strikes were dropping a couple to Columbia, the Rosslyns tied the Luckies for the lead in games won and lost, but the uptowners remained on top by virtue of total sticks. The Bill Woods hove within pennant reach by whitewashing Temple. They are two games back of the leaders. Polly Shugrue’s bowling is keeping the Lucky Strikes ahead of Rosslyn. For the last six weeks Polly has sailed along at a 110 clip. Some Washington Ladies’ League girligigs: Billle Butler and Catherine Quigley are the aces among the Beeques, but gave 'way the other night to Kate Federline when she shot 350, which included a game of 146, one stick under the season record. Pauline Bradburn, one of the best years ago, returned to the map'sways this sea- son and reassumed a place among the stars. Louise Stambaugh had a pe- culiar run of good and bad luck in her last set with the Colonials. With a double-header in one game she rolled only 93. She double-headered in the next game and with two other marks | chalked up 124. Her set was 310, but she employed enough skill to shoot 350. | A They'’re Genuine Champs. ASH POST locked up the Amer- N ican Legion pennant by beating | Fort Stevens three games. It was an honest-goodness champlon’s victory. Fort Stevens was the only | team with a chance to top Nash. Eleven games to the good, Joseph H. Milans Chapter is about home with the Eastern Star League bunting. Unity is second, but has the apparent individual champion in Helena Kohler, average 100. ‘Tony Santini is in with the cham- pionship of the Washington Singles League, but the high average prize goes to that other doughty Latin.

A big time is planned by the Sanico bowlers for April 20. John R. Fagan heads a committee on banquet ar- rangements. The Sanicos, by the way, are entering three teams in the Na- tional Duckpin Bowling Congress tournament. A protested game may decide the pennant in the District Grocery Stores Bowling League. Rice Bakery, which leads on total pins, must shoot the protested game with Sunsweet Prunes. HANG UP TANK RECORD Mercersburgers Do Medley 300 in '3:8.3 Against Plebes.

BROTHER of Billy, Mike Ta: < 313-POUND SWEDE PUT ON MAT CARD Johnson to Meet Zaharias in One-Fall Bout Next Thursday Night. ULFILLING a promise to strengthen his rassling card | Thursday by way of atoning for last week’s postponemem.‘ Promoter Joe Turner yesterday an-| nounced that George Zaharias, husky Colorado Greek, and Tor Johanson, 315-pound Swedish grappler, will meet in a special one-fall match. The Zaharias-Johanson match will serve as a semi-wind-up to the Dan He’s Built for Grappling O'Mahoney-Fred Grobmier tussle, which will be carried over from last week when it was postponed due to an injury to O’Mahoney. ‘The new Irish sensation, who is un- defeated on the mat, and the skinny Iowan, Grobmier, will meet in a two- falls-out-of-three exhibition. Johanson, called the biggest rassler in the world, was the first matman to score a fall over one of the game’s so-called champions in Washington. He won one of three falls from Ed (Don) George. Oddly enough, Za- harias turned the trick shortly after- ward. The two 30-minute preliminaries schedule Rudy Dusek vs. Abe Gold- berg and John Katan vs. Andy Rascher. | Raleigh to Make N. D. B. C.

Crew HOLDS CHAMPION * BY SKINNY STRIN /Option Means Nothing if Max’s Manager Doesn’t Like Selection. BY SPARROW McGANN. EW YORK, March 9.—Jimmy Johnston had ambitious plans to monopolize the major fistic attractions of the year. His club, Madison Square Garden, has an option on Champion Max Baer's serv- ices for a titular match in June. Baer's opponent must be named by April 15. That is easy enough, according to | Johnston, but Baer's manager, Ancil Hoffman, differs with him. Hoffman points out that the con- tract stipulates that “the opponent must be satisfactory to the cham- pion.” If that is not enough, Hoffman says he can tear up the agreement, since the local Boxing Commission has ruled that all contracts, unless signed by both principals, are invalid. Op- tions are not considered contracts. Baer has had his differences with Johnston. According to his own words, this does not mean he will permit his personal feelings to interfere with a bout. All Max wants is a suitable opponent who can draw a good gate with him. Willing to Meet Primo. 'OHNSTON has Art Lasky and James J. Braddock down for a 15-round battle. He also has the two giants, Primo Carnera and Ray Impellitiere, | booked for a like distance. The win- ners of these two brawls will be pitted | against each other, with the victor to lbe offered as a suitable opponent for | Baer. According to Max, the Minneapolis | bomber, Lasky. is not ready for the big chance. These are strange words, coming from a champion. If a chal- lenger earns the right to meet the champion, it is not for him to belittle the challenger's ability. It is up to the fans to decide whether the chal- lenger is good enough to induce them to pay their money to witness his efforts Carnera is acceptable to Baer. Con- | sidering what Max did to the giant Italian last June, you cannot blame him for wanting another opportunity to smack Primo to the floor 11 times more. | Steve Hamas' visit to Germany, where he meets Max Schmeling to- morrow, broke Johnston's hold on the | six foremost heavyweight challengers. Joe Louis, on the word of his trainer, is not ready for Baer this year and he is left out of the picture. There is reason to believe Louis would not meet Baer under any local promotor's auspices. The Midwest firm of Nate Lewis and Jim Mullen has first call on the hard-hitting Negro. Jacobs is Diplomat. HOULD Hamas win over Schme- Lng, he will be in a position to cemand a fight with Baer. On the other hand, should Schmeling | emerge the winner by a knockout or | by a wide margain, he will be offered | as the next victim of Baer's knockout wallop. Joe Jacobs, the German's manager, is in Germany with a con- tract tucked away among the load of big cigars he carries with him. Not so long ago Joe and Johnston would not talk to each other. All that has been | changed. Joe, the diplomat, s willing to break bread with his worst enemy if only to get his Max another crack at the title. There you have the heavyweight situation. Baer is willing to fight. Hamas, Schmeling and Carnera are acceptable. The latter two were treated to knockouts by the champion. Hamas, according to Baer's advisers, is just a strong, willing battler not calculated to put over a sleep punch. Lasky could break this all up by scoring decisively over Braddock and over the winner of the Carnera- Impellitiere fight. He dropped a dis- puted decision to Hamas and was the only one who signed to fight Carnera whea all others balked. Johnston may be hanging on the | ropes at the present writing. But he has not been counted out. Don't blot him out until after Baer goes through with the Jure fight. The champion’s opponent will be named by Jimmy Should Max retain his title, it will be time to speculate on the future activi- ties of the champion. SANICO. Extracts. ... Bakery 1 G.
