SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1935. SPORTS. A—13 INTERCITY EVENT SLATED SATURDAY Satisfied With His Field, Isemann Shuts Gate on N. D. B. C. Entries. BY ROD THOMAS, HAT much-heralded National Duckpin Bowling Congress tournament opening next Sat- urday at the Arcadia won't be the only hot intercity event of the day. We refer to the Red Megaw Sweepstakes, sponsored by the Wash- ington City Duckpin Association, to be held at the Georgetown Recreation Baturday afternoon and evening. Bowlers from Washington, Balti- more, Annapolis and perhaps several other cities will take part in a tour- nament named in honor of one of the greatest maple shooters of all time. It is doubtful if any bowler now rated @& star can show a better record over s long stretch of years than Megaw. He is quite as capable now as he was 15 years ago and would fit well in the line-up of any team in the country. Red probably won't be able to ac- complish much in his own tourna- ment, though. He'll be too busy—or at least too preoccupied as host—for he is the assistant manager of the plant where it will be contested, to glue his mind on competition. ‘Ten games will be rolled, with one block at 2:30 o'clock and the final at 8. The entry fee of $7.50, including cost of games, is a levy becoming in- creasingly popular for major sweep- stakes. Installs Amplifier. DDING greatly to the National Duckpin Bowling Congress show will be a loud speaker system to be installed by Monk Fraser, the Arcadia manager. For the first time in the Capital, the spectators and the contestants at a bowling tournament will be kept in touch with the progress of the leaders and the tournament manager, in this case George Isemann, won't need to run himself ragged find- ing people. ‘Galt Davis, proprietor of the Rosslyn plant, was the first to use the amplifier and it has been a distinctive feature of his small but model establishment. Monk is rigging up the Arcadia to a fare ye well. If anything is being left undone to make the national tournament a knockout, neither Monk nor his aides, nor Isemann can think of it. Although Isemann has made no announcement of the exact number of teams he says he is satisfied com- pletely with the entry and by way of proving his sincerity is refusing post entries. His program went to press yesterday. Big Game Is Tied. DDIE KEITH, who seemed to have the high game money about locked up in the crack Columbia Heights League with 180, at least will have to share it with Chuck Kline who last night shot 180 with the Hessick Coal Co. team. created when Bill Clampitt’s 393 boosted the Vincent Barber Shop team slongside the leading Ambassador Defying custom, and quite reason- ably, the Census Bureau Men'’s League is just getting under way, having rolled its first matches last night at the Columbia. One of these times there may be no end or beginning of the bowling season. Many duckpin shooters now exercise the year round.

I am the ghost that follows men—I give each one his break, For life is largely accident, no matter what they say— and then I take— And laugh to see the experts squirm and figure out the play. which they must hold from birth; which holds the world at bay; I mark their place before they start—I Az the goal they seek, I rate their pace along the track, where cheers or jeers are rife; For some are born to rule and win—and some are drab and weak, And no decree can ever change this age-old law of life. 1 let an able artist starve—I take a bum of brawn And give him fame and wealth to spare—the laurel on his brow— And I have followed this set plan from time’s first streak of dawn, And I will keep this schedule up a million years from now, One man is born to hit a ball—and one to sing a song, . And one is born to rule a trive—and one to drive a truck— Let all the experts rant and rave—but those who get along Are entries that I slip the breaks and give the better luck. | Hunter is one of the best and smartest of the old tennis guard. He rates this tennis pair on a hair- line spin, “Nusslein,” he says, “is the star | artist of tennis today. Vines is the harder hitter. Their battle will be a | five-set match, which should be one | of the best ever played. If there is | any faint margin, it would belong to Vines, but he would have to be at his best to break through. The Lost Touch. LIFF ROBERTS sends this mes- ‘C sage: “I played’ with Bob Jones at | Augusta and at the end of the round he made this remark: ‘For the first time since 1930 I felt that I had a real putting touch and that I could sink almost any sort of putt. It was a feeling I have missed for five years. I only hope it stays.’” This matter of putting always is the shadow that hangs over most of the stars. If Jones' recovered touch can last through April 7 he will be a large annoyance to the rest of the field. ‘The other part of his swing has remained intact. Still Smart. IZZY DEAN still remains any- thing but dizzy. When the world at large was looking for him to nominate a 50-victory program for the Dean brothers this Summer, | Dizzy cut it down to 40. When every one expected him to forecast 30 winning games or more for himself, he cut it down to 22. Dizzy is willing enough to 2o out on a limb, but when he does he usually is sure that the limb won't break. As an inside tip, however, Dizzy is expecting quite a bit more than 40 victories for the Deans. He believes that Paul will add at least six games to his total of 19 for 1934, and this isn't a bad guess. About all that Paul needed last season was more experience. His work in the last world series will give him all the confidence any one needs, and there never has been any question about his stuff. There is one unusual angle about Both are around 6 feet 3. Paul looks to be much the thinner, although Dizzy carries no surplus weight. But Paul weighs 195 against 184 for his older brother. No small part of this weight be- longs in Paul's tremendous hands. A base ball planted in his right paw looks like & marble. It often looks the same way when it comes up to the batter. (Copyright. 1935, by North American ewspaper Alilance. Inc.) __.

Y., former Amer- ican match game champion, holds an unofficial world record three-game total of 888 pins, and 2ll because a bowler complained he had a ball that wouldn’t handle properly. Miller, on an exhibition tour, was telling a group about the fine points of the game, when one of the keglers in attendance exhibited his new bowling ball and asked Miller why it wouldn't take to the alleys with proper effect. Miller told the questioner his form, and not the ball, was wrong, and then to show that the ball was all right, began to send it down the alleys in an exhibition game. He cracked 288. Then, the bowling ace hit a perfect game of 300 and dupli- cated the 300 score in a third game for the record 888 total. The official A. B. C. record is 853 pins, held by Ray Holmes of St. Louis. Record books show an unofficial three-game total of 879 pins by Jack Almer, Massillon, Ohio. Crisfield and Cambridge Oppose for Eastern Sho’ Title. CRISFIELD, Md., March 20 (#).— The Eastern Shore scholastic basket ball championship will be settled in Crisfield tonight. Crisfield High, win- ner of the lower shore title, will face Cambridge High, representative of the upper shore, in the State armory. The winner will meet the Pennsyl- vania Avenue High of Cumberland in the Western Maryland city Saturday for the State title. The Cumberland team won the Western Shore honors. | FROM THE PRESS BOX Writer Thinks Tigers Could Slip Some and Still Retain American League Flag. BY JOHN AKELAND, Fla, March 20— There is & strong tendency among the experts to count ‘Detroit out of the pennant race this year. They say the club was lucky to win in 1034. They jerk an aspersive thumb at the Detroit record, which indicates that the in- field went through the season with- out a replacement, that the out- fielders batted over their heads and that the pitchers frequently needed a handicap of five or six runs. The Tigers admit they were lucky, but they think they'll win again. I would like to repeat what they say about the experts, but much of it is unprintable and the rest of it I can't spell. Anyway, the Tigers believe they are a cinch to repeat. Manager Mickey Cochrane, though he doesn't use the word “cinch,” is inclined to agree with them. Confidence Based on Record. IS reasons are there in the rec- ord for any one to read. Detroit coasted home ahead of the field last year. Lucky or not, the club outclassed the other clubs by a wide | margin. There was no such struggle in the American League as there was in the National. The Tigers can lose 5 or 10 per cent of their effectiveness and still beat a field which (with the exception of Boston) shows no | improvement anywhere. There are three superlative right-handed pitchers in the league and the Tigers own two of them. Mel Harder, a Cleveland chattel, is the third. The Tigers have Rowe LARDNE! and Bridges. Behind those two they rell, Hogsett and two sprightly young southpaws named Clyde Hatter and Joe Sullivan. liable to stick,” says Cochrane. “I didn’t need a southpaw to win the pennant last year, but I'd like to have one. Just think what would have have had one good left-hander tothrow at the Cardinals. Why, it would of been a breeze for us. Look what Hogsett did to St. Louis in the few innings he worked.” A pleasant, dreamy expression comes over the pan of Mr. Cochrane when he toys with this thought. He felt badly about losing that series. Still, he says, snapping out of it, the series was close. It could have | gone either way. “It didn’t hurt any of my ball plavers. As a matter of fact, it made them anxious for another shot at the National League. play the Giants this year instead of the Cards, but, enjoy a crack at 'em.” Infield, Outfield Refute Experts, OME of the experts have looked askance at Mr. Cochrane’s in- | field. But the infield averaged | .327 at the bat last year. Some of the experts do not care for his outfield. But, as Mr. Cochrane points out, it is one of the few three-man outfields in | the league. “Look around,” Mickey urges. “You'll find plenty of good two-man outfields—in Cleveland, Boston, Wash- ington, Philadelphia and New York. | My outfielders may not be as good as ! some, but there’s three of them— Fox, ' have Auker, Crowder, Marberry, Sor- | “Hatter and Sullivan both are | happened in that world series if I'd | Maybe we'll | Whoever 1t 15, We'll| Gayzza Chosen President—Play | with G. P. O. Federals, Goslin and White—can all field their positions and hit around .300.” The Detroit team this year will be pretty much the same in all spots. There may be a few extra pitchers, it Sullivan, Hatter, Larkin and Wade make good. There may be an extra outfielder, if Dixie Howell, the sensa- tional forward pass mechanic from Alabama, comes through. Howell, | hero of the last Rose Bowl slme. thinks he likes base ball better than | Hollywood. “They need good-looking guys in| the movies,” he said. “On the ball | field my face won't make so much d:f- ference.” The key to Detroit’s success last year, of course, was Cochrane. If he | plays in 80 or 100 games this year the | team is likely to win again. He '.hmk.s he will. He's sure enough about it to be considering a two-man catching staff, with Hayworth as the only spare | receiver. “I've got plenty more base ball in me,” says Mickey. “I don't see why the boys should be counting me out.” With this thought as his text, Mr. Cochrane is preparing to attack the experts on all fronts. It's very likely | that he will drop another series in the | | lap of the deserving city of Detroit. (Copyright 1935, Newspaver A b{ North American Alliance. Inc.)
