SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON D. C. JFRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 1937. SPORTS. e Day Left in Star Tourney : Mails Boosts Marty, Cub Rookie UERS FAVORED REMAIN ON TOP umbia, Rendezvous and Queen Pin Bowlers Take Turns Tomorrow. BY ROD THOMAS. 'H big squads shooting at the Columbia and Ren- desvous and not a few bowlers taking their turns | #t the Queen Pin, the ninth annual yuletide tournament of The Evening Star will come to a finish tomorrow night after nearly a month of compe- tition engaged in by more than 2,000 men and women on all the maple- ways of Washington and its suburbs. | The odds are heavily against sny | bowler beating the current leader in | either the men's or women's division. | Albert Elkins of the Holy Name So- elety League, with a set of 725, eluding & handicap of 60 pins, rolled at the Recreation, confidently ac- eounts himself $50 in pocket along with & gold medal emblematic of the tournament championship, as does Pauline Ford, president of the Wash- ington Women's Duckpin Association, who shot 25-625 at the Arcadia. Runners-up Increase. UT Charley Bernhardt of the Co- | lumbia Heights League, another Arcadia patron, in second place with 43-698, isn't assured of holding the place that will be worth $40 to the occupant when the last ball is rolled. Nor is Arlene Sparks, current runner-up in the women’s section, assured of retaining the $40 spot. Mrs. Sparks marked up 593 sticks, with a handicap of 55, at Mount Rainier. Only a few bowlers of top-flight ability remain to shoot, but the present leaders do not fear them. Their con- esern is over the mediocre performeis with fat handicaps. This has been a tough tournament | Nyj many of whom failed | for the stars, even to reach the roll-off. Among the high 20 men in the final at present will be found nary a low handicap shooter. There are several among the fair leaders. Can Roll in Afternoon.

In fact, the Williamson system found it much more difficult to make its little all-America choices than it did to pick its all all-America team it named several weeks ago. ‘The little all-America gridders were chosen only after poll returns from 276 colleges, a study of press releases and papers from 170 colleges and an analysis of more than 100 newspaper stories, Here are the selections: ..

Reinhart Plans Defense. HAT Reinhart wants most to know is the offensive strength | of the Nebraskans in order that he might plan hastily a special defense | He believes | with which to combat it. that his own club has a potent attack and will score considerably on the visitors, but he isn’'t so sure about G. W.'s defense, lacking knowledge of offensive methods of Nebraska. Nebraska will enjoy an advantage in height and weight which should cause George Washington a lot of an- noyance, particularly should the in- vaders employ a fast-breaking style of attack. Greater reach and avoirdu- pois will stand the Scarlet and Cream in good stead when driving into the basket and, furthermore. will hurt the Colonial cause in retrieving missed shots of either backboard.

DDIE STEVENS, young Rock- | ville golf pro, left Washington today for Texas, where he will take charge at the Glenwood Country OClub of Houston. Eddie spent eight years at the Manor Club, where he served as assistant pro to Al ‘Treder and was rated one of the bet- ter young professional golfers around ‘Washington. “I think Eddie got a good break,” said Olaggett Stevens, his brothey, who works in the golf shop at Con- gressional. “Eddie has worked hard at Manor and deserves a break like this one, I know he’ll do a good job and I hope he'll stick.” That’s the way the Stevens boys are. Claggett served as the pro at the Ponte Vedra Club of Jacksonville last Summer. FL!VBN members ol the Congres- ~ sional Country Club have been nominated for the club board of gov- ernors and will be elected at the an- nual meeting to be held next month.

If I wanted to take a fve iron and hit it, Dan would | tell me to spare a four iron. I couldn't play my shots. He played 'em for | me. but we won, and :that’s all that counts.” In those days Danny was a spindly sort of gangling red-thatched kid. Bob Barnett has a weakness for red- | | heads. He's one himself, and he ai- | ways has one or two of 'em around | his golf shop, as witness Gene Larkin, another Barnett product. But Danny bas grown up now, with a deep bass voice, & good golf swing and & pretty good game. He's one of the longest | hitters around Washington, and some dav he’ll learn to keep the ball in the fairway. When he does that he’'ll be hard to lick. TN CASE you'd wondered what h&l\ become of Jimmy Mitchell. brother of Dooley Mitchell, the tennis lumi- nary, he is down at Pinehurst cavort- ing around the courts as the tennis pro at that resort.

But Jim plays a passable game of | | golf, too. The other day he snd RED MCcLEOD, the sage of the Columbia Country Club golf (@i shop, isn't sure which of the I two he likes best, but he's sure of one thing—the Oakmont course, near Pittsburgh, and the Garden City layout at Garden City, Long Island. are the two courses in America which take more downright fine golf and sheer skill in shotmaking than any he has played in this country. Preddie isn't sure which he likes best, but you can gamble that if Oak- the qualifying spots for the American open championship (and it usually is there for the title he won just 28 years ago near Boston. Freddie isn't one to go for the modern wrinkles in course con- struction. He thinks volubly that courses are | being made too easy nowadays by | banking the green up against the shot and he thinks that golf no longer is & test of shotmaking as it used to be when plenty of the greens were laid out on level ground or actually sloped away from the shot. Nor is Freddie | | and the multiplicity of tools which | the top-noich player of today carries in his sg. He gets along with a | total of nine clubs and manages to ! do pretty well, where the average pro totes around between 13 and 18 tools. | Nor does Freddie think that Colum- | bia doesn’t rank as one of America’s | great courses. It does. in his judgment, but then Columbia has built-up greens. ID you notice in that amateur championship at Garden City." asks the North Berwick man, who has | become an American citizen in the past year, “that no one in that good field broke par for the course on a single round in match play? And do you recall any 66's or 67's at Oakmont over the last few chompionships thi have been played there? I can see you don't. “Those courses have stood the test | of time as no other courses have in | my recollection. They stand up under conditions as shotmaking tests, and the boys just don't tear 'em to pieces as they have torn other lay- | outs apart. Some day they may hold an open championship at Garden City and then you'll see what I mean. I would guess that 295 would come | pretty close to winning. and it might be 300. Two championships have been played at Oakmont in recent years—in 1927 and 1935—and the winning scores were 301 and 299, which figures out at an average of exactly 75 to the round. | “Now econtrast those scores with those made in other tour- naments. | “Youll find that the winners g{ around with an average nearer 71 th: 75, and it's almost & set rule nowa- days that if you don't score below 290 in a big open tournament you get only cigarette money as your prize. But | they don't do it at Oakmont and they | ,wouldn t do it at Garden City if they | heid an open tournament there. “Lido is good, but it's been done in 66 or so. “There are lots of fine courses scat- tered over the length and breadth of the land, but they don't stand up in scoring when the bovs reallv get hot. Those two—Oakmont and Garden City—stand out to me as the golf courses which have stood the test of time and championships.” FELLER TO TALX PAY. ROCHESTER, Minn.

POWERS OLLYWOOD, Calif., January 1.—Sports stars en parade: The big fellow, elbowing his way through a crowd of foot ball players, looked familiar. The | big fellow proved to be Walter Mails, the old lefi-hander of Brooklyn, Cleveland and other base ball stops. You had not seen Mails in years, but still recalled the September day in 1920, when he fanned the best of the White Sox to win a pennant for ‘Cleveland. Mails should have been | one of the great left-handers of all ! time, but wasn't. Now he's publicist for the San Francisco Seals, and doing a grand job. “Some day hell be \presldent of the Coast League,” they ‘tell vou out here. | “Another swell ball player going | up from the Coast League,” Mails tells you. “This kid, Joe Marty, will be a great player for the Cubs if he doesn't worry too much. He's a worrier when the base hits don't come regularlv. Can he hit? Say. in one series in Portland. last Summer, he made 20 hits in 24 times at bat and 7 wera home runs. If the Cubs make an effort to develop Marty's speed, they will have one of the best base runners in the big leagues.” | | Alcatraz.
