B—16 '8 PORTS. THE, SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTION, D. C, DECEMBER 6, 1936—PART ONE. SPORTS. Club F lghters Fill Arena Show : Star Pin Tourney Rules Clarified. MIDDLES T0 M INTWIN FEATURE Jones Matched With Wilson, Brown Faces Beck—Card Lists 32 Rounds. BY BURTON HAWKINS, URNER'S ARENA will give birth I to twin eight-round middle- weight bouts tomorrow night as Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn continues the profitable policy of glorifying the club fighter. Co-featured at the nursery of bate tered beaks will be one scrap between Jimmy Jones and Bob Wilson, which looms as a grand argument, and an- other involving Ben Brown and Tom- my Beck, equally as enticing. In all, 32 rounds of socking are scheduled to parade before the eyes of Washing- ton’s rather select colony of pugilistic patrons. Jones is a brother of Ivan Nedo- matsky, University of Maryland's Southern Conference boxing cham- pion, and with his ring earnings has been instrumental in sending the Terp larruper through college. Jimmy also ‘was an important factor in forestalling Nedomatsky's entrance into paid ranks. Jimmy, uneducated himself, tele- phoned all matchmakers in this sector when informed Ivan intended to turn professional, pleading with them to refuse to book his brother. He then persuaded Ivan to return to Maryland and he still is trying to erase the idea of professional fighting from Nedomat- &ky's mind. Wilson Bent on Comeback. WILSON, recently returned from a tour of New York rings, now Fights Bob Wilson'(New Organization Takes Over Manor Club Within Few Weeks JIMMY JONES, Baltimore battler, who stacks up against Bodb Wzlson local middleweight, in one of two eight-round feature bouts at Turner’'s Areng tomorrow feels he is ready for a local comeback which eventually will lead, he hopes, to another crack at Phil Furr. Ahearn believes Wilson, who will make his first start here in middleweight ranks, now is more promising than when he emerged from Florida more than two years ago. At any rate, Wilson has demon- strated his effectiveness in gymnasium workouts. Whether he .can transfer that polish from the punching bsg to Jones’ rugged frame, however, remains & problem with local ringworms. Brown and Beck have much in common. Both are 6 feet tall, managed by men named Sobel and both have beaten a comparatively un- known mitten swinger named Bob Turner. Brown, who recently lost a close decision to Ken Overlin and has trimmed Ralph Chong and Young Terry, is from Atlanta, Ga. while Beck, who has trounced such scrap- pers as Leroy Brown, Carl Knowles, Jake Dunning and a lot of guys named Joe, is a Jacksonville, Fla, importa- tion. Gevinson in Again. LOU LOMBARDI, Baltimore feath- erweight, will be the second foe- man in Lou Gevinson's newly-born | professional career and offers a more serious threat to the local Jewish lad than Al Schaeffer, last week. Schaeffer’s jaw, incidentalZ ly, was fractured in two places. The bout is slated for six rounds. Sam Bracala, Baltimore welter- weight, who crawled from the can- vas in the first round last week to| gain a decision over Bucky Taylor, will collide with Stanford Carrier in another six-rounder. Bracala and | ‘Taylor were scheduled to clash in & rematch, but Taylor injured his hand | in training and was forced to cancel the engagement. In an opening four-rounder, which will get under way at 8:30 o'clock, Steamboat Bill Robinson, Alexandria welterweight, will puff with Young Tony Ross of Baltimore.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., December 5 (#). Members of the Naval Academy foot ball coaching staff have picked an all-opponent team from the elevend faced by the midshipmen this season. Harvard won one position and two each went to Pennsylvania, Notre Dame, Princeton, Army and Yale. Kelley, Yale, and O'Neil, Notre Dame, were picked for the end posi- are | whipped by Lou | night.

TAYNTON, UDGING by many indications, there will be more Christmas | J puppies bought, sold and given away this year than there has been in many years past. Nothing can possibly make & more delightful gift than a fat, cuddly, friendly puppy, ready to become a pal and playmate, ready to grow up into & guardian and unfailing source of love. But before presenting any one with a puppy make sure that he wants one, that he is equipped to take care of one, that he has the understanding and patience | to train one to become his.dog. If he wants & dog, and has facilities for caring for one, but is lacking in time, patience and understanding of the| needs of a very young dog, it would | be better to find him one that has already had some training, at least |in the rudiments of house manners, Both he and the dog will be much, much happier., Just the other day a young woman celebrated a new job at | higher pay by treating herself to the | long-felt desire of her heart, a Scottie | pup. She had never had a pup be-. fore and was sure she knew just what she wanted and needed. The dog was' bought on Saturday afternoon. Early Sunday morning she was back at the | kennel with the pup and demanded | her money back. Scottie had made & ter and more people feel they can afford to feed big dogs.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, De- eember 5 (). —World Checker Cham- pion Asa Long of Toledo, Ohio, held his one-game lead in a title battle here by playing two additional draws today with Challenger Edwin Hunt, Nashville, Tenn, . to the temperament and disposition of the recipient as well as his physical circumstances. Few dwellers in one- room apartments would welcome the gift of an Irish wolfhound, or would the nervous type of person who loves fine, sleek elegance relish the boister- ous advent of a scrappy terrier. Young children love puppies, but they should not be given pupples of weaning age that are really as delicate as young babies and need careful handling and feeding. A puppy several months old, still young enough to be thoroughly playful and yet old enough not to be seriously damaged in rough and tumble playing is the wisest choice. And for those who necessarily have to be away & large part of each day and leave & dog to its own devices, ‘an older pup or young dog, at least partislly trained is & better choice. cocker spaniel still maintains his hold on first place in number-of registrations in the American - Ken- nel Club. No less than ‘1,316 were rurchaud by Russell Club. many comic strips the expression and attitudes portrayed by the dogs give point to the whole strip which other- wise would be as stiff and unnatural as the people in them. IN CARING for & dog there are just four essentials. First comes Jove and companionship. Dogs do not develop fully mentally unless they are given a due meat of human society and affection. They will often do ex- tremely well on inadequate feed, in un= comfortable quarters and with no regu- lar grooming, if they are made to feel part of the family or that they really belong to some one. Second in the list, many people would put it first, is good food and clean water. Good food does not necessarily mean porter house steaks. Some pampered pets ail on diets that would adequately nourish hungry children. But any breed of dog will flourish on a plentiful diet of & cheap cut of beef or lJamb, an occasional meal of boiled liver, & bowl of milk and some good dog biscuit. Of course, many extras can, and some- times should, be added. But these are the essentials. Water may be kept accessible at all times or offered just twice a day. Some prefer one method and some another. It really doesn't make any difference, as long as the o | Mildred Migkelly consists of opposition stud book.

ROLL-OFF CHANGE | 1S RADICAL MOVE |City-Wide Final Is First At- tempted — Handicaps Given Stiff Tilt. BY ROD THOMAS, N CASE any of you duckpin l shooters are not thoroughly alive to the new scheme of the annual Evening Star Yuletide tourna- ment, which is radically different in several respects from the eight pre- ceding it, some cogent facts herewith are repeated. As nearly every one knows, there is no entry fee, nor any other cost to the entrant except for the five games of the preliminary or qualify- ing round. Leaving out this, the party is entirely on The Star, which will whack up $500 in cash among the high scorers and present the man and woman champion egch with a gold medal. The most-talked-about feature of the 1936 tournament so far is the switch from a concentrated roll-off, or fnal, to one that will be staged on drives throughout the metropoli- tan area. For the last several years 25 per cent of the flelds at all estab- lishments has gathered at the Lucky Strike for the roll-off, in which the bulk of the $500 is distributed. Sticks to One Plant. THIS time, the contestant will shoot the final set on the drives of the establishment at which he or she qualifies. Never before has such an arrange- ment been attempted here in any tour- nament, due to the varying conditions in former times at Washington's bowl- ing plants, but so standardized has be- come equipment in the last several years that a score rofled at one alley is rated on & par with one shot at any other. The new arrangement has been approved by the National Duckpin Bowling Congress and the Washington City Duckpin Association, both of which have been strong leaders in the campaign for standardization. The non-star bowler gets a bigger break this time than ever before due to a lift in handicaps. In the men's division the scratch has been raised from 118 to 125 and in the women's section from 104 to 112. In each i stance, the entrant receives a handi- cap of half the difference between his or her average and scratch, with the men to be given a limit of 75 sticks for five games and the girls a maxi- mum of 60. w4 & TO MAKE up the five games re- quired for a qualifying score it will be permissible to add two games to a league set, but this is a matter left to the bowling proprietors. To permit it would mean 'a possible sac- | rifice at the till. The Star is con- |cerned in this respect only with the contestant turning in a five-game score rolled in regular competition. When roll-off time comes, which will be between December 28 and January 2, with each plant to de- termine the date of its final, an of- ficial representative of the Washing- ton City Duckpin Association will be on hand at every establishment to see that the foul line is observed strictly and to certify the scores, There is no change in the system of determining handicaps. Last sea- son’'s averages will govern, or, if & | bowler was not a league member last season, the handicap will be de- termlned from this year's figures if the entrant has rolled 30 league games or more. With no league average to show, an entrant will perform from scratch. Entry blanks will be available at all bowling plants within the next | day or two. RICHMOND, Va, December 5 (P).—Ken Overlin has signed for a bout in France which may lead to a fight with Marcel Thil, recognized | middleweight champion of the world. According to the terms of the con- tract, Overlin will be matched with a French middleweight named Genet in Paris Arena on December 21. If Over- lin should win, a title match with Thil will follow in January. Gulli Is Pin Victor in Stirring Finish With Butler Runner-Up ITH a typical burst of bril- liancy in the crisis, Lor- raine Gulli last night at the Lucky Strike scored her fifth consecutive triumph in the Meyer Davis Sweepstakes, blue ribbon money tournament of Washington's woman bowlers. Entering the final game 13 pins behind her pal, Billie Butler, Miss Gulli charged to victory with a score of 135, which boosted her total for 10 gamés, 5 of which were rolled in the afternoon, to 1,163, 10 sticks short of her score of last year and 11 better than the count of her friend, Billie, Victory is Worth $40. ISS GULLI collected $40, the runner-up prize was $25 and third place netted Marjorie Bradt Smith, the 1930 winner, $13. Off to a 550 start, and the outlook for victory far from bright, Miss Gulli raised her game in the evening skir- mish to the tempo that carried her several times to the national No. 1 ranking. Her concluding set of 613, oddly enough, was duplicated by Mrs, Smith, who rolled on the same drives with Lorraine. Fourth place went to Margaret Lynn, who was high in the first block with 596. #Her finishing set of 532 gave her a total of 1,128. Rivals of '35 Deadlocked. LUCILE YOUNG and Catherine Quigley, who were second and third, respectively, last year, tied for fifth prize this time at 1,124, They split a five-spot. ‘Thirty-one of the city’s leading women bowlers competed, beating the 1935 field by one. The girls paid an entry fee of $3 and the bowling was donated by Bill Wood, Lucky Strike superintendent and sponsor of the tournament. Scores in Davis Sweepstakes 104 96 119 Lorraine Gulli _.

MILLER, JR., America's Authority on SBocial Chess. The World Champion. ROYAL battle fit for the gods— it was Greek against Greek when Alexander Alekhin, doctor of law, native Russian, naturalized Prenchman, chess cham- plon of the world by virtue of his tri- umph over the Cuban, Jose Capa- blanca, in 1927, faced Max Euwe, doctor of mathematics, native Dutch- man, chess champion of Holland, vie- tor in the amateur world champion= ship of The Hague, 1928—and the crowning reward was the champion- ship title of the world to be bestowed after no less than a series of 30 indi- vidual matches were played to the finish. What a marathon of mental giants! It was just a year ago this month when the titanic struggle reached its zenith and the youth- ful challenger, Euwe, wrested the coveted crown from the bril- liant Alekhin, seoring 9 wins, 8 losses and 13 draws. ‘The new world champion has marched on to distinguish himself in many international masters’ tourna- ments, placing usually in the upper brackets of each parley. It is altogether proper that we view in retrospect the career of the popular world champion who teaches math- ematics today in a select school for girls in Amsterdam. Euwe Achieves Recognition. 'ROM 1918 and through 1923, Max Euwe studied mathematics, and in 1926 he was advanced to doctor. Safely ensconced in his chosen pro- fession, he gave more time to serious chess, but as early as 1919 he crossed the English Channel to participate in the first class section of the Hastings masters’ congress and tie for fourth prize. In 1921 he annexed the cham- pionship of Holland at the Nymegen tournament and re- tained the title in the notable tournaments of Amsterdam, 1924; Utrecht, 1926; Amster- dam, 1929, and The Hague, 1933, DR.

Ex-World Champions Lasker and Alekhin scored less than either Capablanca or Euwe in this tournament, probably the great- est of all time, However, before “Capa” meets Max it is definitely understood that the dethroned .champion, Alekhin, shall have a chance to retrieve his lost crown. Meanwhile keep your eye on Euwe. Still in his early 30's, youth is on his side and one of the requisite factors in a gruelling marathon for superla- tive chess glory is stamina.
