PORTS THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHI GTON D. C., JANUARY 10, 1937—PART ONE SPORTS. Check Reveals 2,602 Participants in Star Bowling Tournament Pin Standings and Records NEW IDEA BRINGS GREAT INCREASE ‘ 'l' All-Alley Scheme Proves‘ Sound—Checks Will Be Mailed This Week. BY ROD THOMAS. HAT,” said Arville Ebersole, secretary of the Washington City Duckpin Association, completing his audit of The Star's ninth annual Yuletide tournament, “was some bowling party.” Ebersole turned in his figures last night, including the double-checked list of prize winners. Checks will be mailed this week in care of the alleys at which they were won. The goal this year was 2,000 entries. Exactly 2,602 men and women rolled. It was one of the biggest duckpin tournaments on record and by far the largest ever held in Washington. Following are those who shared the purse of $500, with the man and woman winner each receiving also a gold medal: [ MEN. Hep. 1. Albert C. Elkins.. 60 2. Joe Mulroe 8 2. Noble Viers, jr. ___ 40 4.

Stars Nearly Shut Out. FOR the first time in the history of the tournament no sizable portion of the prize money was pocketed by high ranking men bowlers. The only true top-flighter in the pay-off was Howard Parsons, and all he won was & five-spot for high game from scratch in the preliminary round. Only two true stars among the girls landed in the dough. Lorraine Gulli, lone scratch performer, who twice has won the tournament, collected & minor prize. Blanche Wootton, with & five-pin handicap, finished third. The handicaps were given a stiff boost this year and the move proved | popular, we dare say, with 95 per cent of the bowlers. A few of the stars squawked. Astor Clarke, No. 1 ranker of the country, who was forced to concede handicaps to all of the male contestants, made no complaint, but offered the suggestion that next year 21l bowlers with class A classifications in the scale of the Washington City Duckpin Association be placed at scratch. Astor averaged 131, but didn't survive even the qualifying test. The most unified support ever given & Washington bowling tournament was accorded this. It was conducted on a plan never before attempted in bowling. For the first time scores rolled at different plants were rated n common. As Ebersole Sees It. SAID Ebersole last night: “The success of this year’s Star tourna- ment and the remarkable increase in entries over previous years—more than 600 over last year—was due to the fact that each alley was permitted to have its own independent section of the tournament. This was made practicable by the fact that finally every plant in and around Washing- ton is using standard equipment. The new idea brought to The Star tourna- ment was radical, but it proved sound. I look for another big increase in entries next year.” Most of the bowling promoters toiled on The Star tournament this year as they never have for any other, outside of their own enter- prises. The Arcadia, with 418 en- tries, topped the major establish- ments, and Rosslyn, with 212, made a sensational showing among the minor. Following is Ebersole's tabu- lation of entries: Arcadia 418 Temple ......T6 Lucky Strike . 395 Queen Pin ... 72 - 85 1 11 P P: R Recreation ... 100 Mt. Rainier - .4!

ITH all the spirit of youth, ‘Washington's oldest bowler of genuine ability, John W. E Fenton, 74, secretary of the Washington and Old Dominion Railway, made a stirring comeback in his series with Hugh F. (Pop) Craw- ley, 70, last night at Almas Temple and lost the final set by only two pins, which was 57 sticks under the margin by which Crawley won a week prior on his own Mount Rainier drives in the opening five-game block of the battle for the septuagenarian championship of the Capital. The final standing found Crawley 61 pins ahead, with a total pinfall of 1,168 to Fenton's 1,107. Shooting 568 to Fenton's 566 last night, Crawley finished the match with an average of 116-8, compared to his rival's 110-7. Crawley Recovers in Time. OR a while it appeared that the 74-year-old Fenton might catch his younger rival last night as Craw- ley slumped below 100 in his second and third games. With a 137 in the third game, which proved high for the entire match, Fenton entered the fourth with a 31-pin lead for the last blpck. At that juncture, Fenton staged a slump of his own, and a 106 against Crawley's 133 put Pop right back in the running. Crawley overcame that 4-pin lead by out-counting Fenton, 105-99, in the finale. Crawley had three strikes and 14 spares during the last block: Fenton four strikes and 10 spares.

C. Junior Champ, 0’Brien Is High in Boys’ Class. EFORE a big gallery of amused and admiring grown - ups, Louis Edlovitch, 17, and Ralph O’Brien, 14, won the junior and boys’ bowling champion- ships of the District yesterday at the Columbia Alleys in the finals of a tournament sponsored gy the Washe~ ington City Duckpin Association. Edlovitch, an employe of The Eve- ning Star after school hours at Roose= velt High, turned in 335 for three games to top the next best junior en- trant by 10 pins. O'Brien, a St. John's student, captured the boys title with a 308 set. Jankwell Rossen gave O'Brien a close run, however, with 304. Winners Will Move Up. BY ‘THE victories, Edlovitch and O'Brien become entitled to rep- resent Washington in April at Nor- folk, Va., in the national junior and boys’ tournament ever held in the city, National Duckpin Bowling Congress. It was by far the largest junior and boy tournament ever held in the city, with more than 150 competing at various alleys in the qualifying round. A 117 in the last game brought the junior title to Edlovitch after it ap- peared his 133 in the opening en- counter was to be nullified by a poor 85 in the second. William Allen, who averaged 107, put together games of 107 and 114 for a 3-pin lead en- tering the last game, but was 16 be- low the winner with a 101 at the finish. Rocco Nocera spurted from nowhere td the runner-up post 10 sticks behind the winner with the tourney’s high game of 142 in the third, but his 88 and 95 in the first two games cost him his chance. O'Brien Shoots High Game. O'BRI!N wofl the boys’ title in the second game when he rolled the highest game of any entrant in that class, 116. Although Rossen oute counted him, 105-92, in the last game, he still was 4 ahead at the finish. No other boy beat 300. The scores: Alvin_Hanlein Wm.

MILLER, JR., | America’s Authority on Social Chess. ATRICK OFLAHERTY was quite a chess player, but he had his own ways of doing things. On one occasion he announced proudly “mate in three moves” and he executed the mate, too, in most brilliant style. But one of the by~ standers called his attention to the fact that at the time Pat made the announcement, there was really a checkmate in one move. Said Pat in great heat: “Did you think you were telling me something new? I KNEW there was a mate in one move, but I WANTED to do it in three!!!"—Columbia Chess Chronicle. Sloss Encourages Chess. 'WELVE teams are competing in the Metropolitan Chess Association | team tournament under the direction | of Abe Seidenberg, and according to present scoring it is a difficult task to predict the winner. Quintets from Maryland University, Washington Gas Light Co. and the War Department are giving teams from the Department of Agriculture, | Interhigh Chess Association, Ladies’ Chess Club, German Chess Club and private chess factions a first-class bat- tle for the trophy. President Fineran reports that five rounds have been played. Opening the tournament at Sloss Cafeteria, 818 Fourteenth street northwest on No- vember 12, the association has held matches at the Jewish Community center and the main offices of the ‘Washington Gas Light Co. Three rounds have been run off at Sloss Cafeteria and two exhibits of chess rarities held there. Thursday, night round No. 5 was played at the cafeteria. Fineran says that the asso- ciation is appreciative of the efforts of T. J. Sloss toward making the team tourney a success. T. J. SLOSS. Born in Michigan, Sloss has traveled extensivelv. He served in the World War. After the armistice he de-| veloped the reputation of being a crack salesman and a successful res- taurant operator. He came to Wash- ington eight years ago. A novice at chess, Sloss prefers to | | encourage others to enjoy the whole- some relaxation of the game rather than become an expert himself. { Paul Morphy, the Unknown. ‘ N NEW YORK CITY on October 6, | 1857, the first match games of the first chess congress ever held in the | United States were played. From the sunshine of New Orleans came Paul Morphy, a youth of 20 Summers, to vie with 16 al lhe leldln[ plaven | Hmph? humph! | of Games.” in America for the champion- ship of the young Republic. Of course, there had been some gossip as to the ability of the youthful attorney (Morphy was admitted to the Louisiana bar early in 1857), and, although the Hungarian master, J. J. | Lowenthal, had praised Morphy highly, the New Yorkers in the tour- nament were skeptical of the South- erner’s brilliance. But when the tournament of the American Chess Association was concluded, Lowenthal’s words, “the grey-beards were fairly pushed from their pedestals. Youth and genius proved far more than a match for age and experience” . . . were in- deed a mild description after young Morphy had conquered every player in the entire tournament. Here is the initial game Morphy played in the first round against James New York: GIUOCO PIANO. Thompson, Morphy, It was a case of butchery for Thompson and Morphy spared no strokes of the ax. In one hour after Thompson resigned! Beyond question Paul Charles Morphy was the greatest chess genius of all time.
