S PORTS. SPORTS P — z : D. C, TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1837 * — Bowling Boasts Colorful History : ““YoderYear’’ Looms in D. C. Golf GAME YANKS PLAY OF GERMAN ORGIN Sunday Okay on Sport Here Recalls Conflicts of Old With Law. EW YORK CITY'S sport thun- derstorm is over. Recently completed is the mammoth tenpin bout of the American Bowling Congress, which for 56 con- secutive days rumbled along to some- what of a record. With about 20,000 entrants and almost 1,000 hours’ du- Tation, this national contest set a new high score for size. Bowling now may be ranked as a major sport from the point of view ©f numbers participating. It is esti- mated that 9,000,000 Americans take part in the sport. “ ‘Bowling ’em over’ is not the same sport which absorbed Sir Francis Drake’s thind and muscle at Plymouth while the Spanish armada sailed into the English Channel,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., head- quarters of the National Geographic Bociety. “He and his officers were whiling away that fateful hour with bowls, still a popular British pas- time. It is an outdoor activity, and consists of hopefully rolling a lop- sided wooden ball across the green- sward in the direction of a white target bowl. Since the ‘bowl’ is de- signed oblate for bias rolling, for ‘obliquely waddling to the mark in view,’ control of its swerving course requires skill, Kegelspiel Is Direct Ancestor. “JN THE United States this is called lawn bowls. Bowling is only its firat cousin, for it stems not from England but from the continent. Its direct ancestor is the German ver- sion of ninepins, kegelspiel, from which bowlers take their nickname of keglers. Bowling now is an in- door game of bombarding bottle- shaped maple ‘pins’ with a fat, bake- lite ball. The miniature fleld of bat- tle is a 60-foot glass-smooth ‘alley’ of maple or pine, shellacked and pol- dshed seven times for dazzling slick- Dess. “All New York City’s rank growth of skyscrapers has not been able to erowd out bowling’s traditional Amer- ican birthplace—Bowling Green Park. This tiny green oval, from which Broadway plunges into its noisy and dazzling career, three centuries ago served New Netherlanders as a village green just outside the red cedar Dpalisade of Fort Amsterdam. It was their outdoor market and the sup- posed site of New York's foremost swindle—Peter Minuit's purchase, for $24 worth of dry goods, of all Man- hattan Island from Indians who may Dot have had a title to it. Wears Track Across Map. "PRESUMABLY. the space already had proved satisfactory for bowl- ing when it was inclosed, in 1732, for the yearly rent of one peppercorn— any trifling sum—as a private green. The iron fence, brought from Eng- Jand, could not protect this early sports center from violence. Here in 1765 riotous citizens protested against the stamp act. On July 9, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence had Just been read to the Continental | Army, & mob tore down the fine new Jeaden statue of George III on horse- back and reduced it to good repub- ' lican bullets. “Bowls and bowling are pastimes of such long standing that they have worn & track across the map. Bowl- ing Green is the name of eight towns and localities in the United States, & bay and a cape in Australia and two villages in England. American vari- | ants are Bowlington, Ky., and Bowl- ers Wharf, Va. The Bowling Greens are towns of Florida, Indiana, Mis- souri, South Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, and a mountain in New Jersey. Wales has s Bowling Bank. “Scotland has its Bowling, a town 13 miles down the Clyde River from Glasgow; because so many steamers put into Bowling Harbor for Winter repairs, it is nicknamed ‘Clyde In- firmary.’ Prohibition Stimulates Game. 'BoWL!NG ALLEY is the name of two English hemlets. Others are Bowling Junction and Bowlers Green. The Surrey mansion of Wil- liam Pitt, made Earl of Chatham for navigating the British ship of state through revolutionary waters, was Bowling Green House. “One reason for the far-flung use of this sport's name is that the game ‘was given the stimulus of prohibition. A law in force until 1845 permitted only the landed gentry to obtain a license for bowls, and a bowling green Became a symbol of distinction and special privilege. Soon after its rise to popularity in the thirteenth cen- tury, the game was prohibited for fear it might detract from the follow- ing of archery, then so important as & means of national defense. “Later, when it became the pastime of the wealthy, it aroused criticism ‘because of betting. A non-ecclesiasti- cal tradition, however, is that pious John Knox once encountered pious John Calvin a{ a game of bowls on sunday. Last month President Roose- velt signed a bill legalizing Sunday bowling in the District of Columbia. “Even more than bowling has affect- ed geography, geography’s influence is seen in variations of the game. Standard bowling in Northern and ‘Western United States is played with tenpins (adopted when the game of ninepins once was declared illegal) and a 16-pound ball 27 inches around, with two holes for finger grips. “Duckpins, with larger followings farther South, uses smaller pins and balls, finger holes omitted from the Iatter. The number of pins differs for the varieties known as ‘cocked hat’ (3), ‘cocked hat and feather’ (4) and quintet’ (5). “The lawn bowls game is popular in resort sections wherever the cli- mate gives an encouraging answer to weather permitting.’ ” Homer Standings B the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. NDIANAPOLIS, May 11.—It took I eran of the roaring road to por- tray dramatically the progress of the automobile industry in the last quarter of a century. Ralph De Palma returned to the scene of his old exploits at the In- dianapolis motor speedway yester- day to drive 500 miles at an average of 82.18 miles an hour in an ordi- nary stock car, the one to be used as pacemaker for the annual race May 31. Ray Harroun, driving a special- built racing car, the Simplex, won the first 500-mile race at the Speed- way in 1911 with an average speed of 74.59 miles an hour. Not a Final Gesture, DE PALMA'S run wasn't simply a final gesture from a grizzled vet- sanctioned by the American Automo- bile Association and was designed solely to show the progress automo- bile manufacturers have made since the original race in 1911. The husky Italian’s elapsed time for the 500 miles was 6 hours 5 min- utes 0.59 of a second. But at the end he stepped out of the car and said: “I'm not at all tired. It was just a nice day's drive.” NAVY EXPECTS HOT SCRAP WITH TERPS Banks on Great Defense to Halt Brilliant Lacrosse Attack in Play Saturday. NNAPOLIS, May 11.—Recognizing the strength of this year's Mary- land lacrosse team, the Navy looks for a great game Saturday and a chance of breaking into the Terps’ winning streak over the Middies, which has been unbroken since 1930. A tie game was played, however, in 1934, Coach Dinty Moore of the Navy said that Maryland undoubtedly had the best attack of any team in the country and one of the best he had ever” seen. However, Nat James, old Severn School player, is putting up 8 great game at goal, and Zeke Soucek and Ray Dubois, two big foot ball linemen, are strong at point and gover point. The Navy played a great game against Mount Washington two weeks 2go, holding that team to three goals, one of which came in the last 15 seconds, while scoring twioce itself. The game, it is though, will turn on the ability of the close defense to neutralize Maryland’s brilliant of- fense.

By Walter McCallum HEN Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi says he gets | a birdie it means he gets | a birdie, and nothing else. | The yarn of how Senator Pat made a birdie on the sixth hole at Burning Tree is getting a laugh out of mem- bers of the club these days. | Harrison has a caddie called “Jello,” | who totes his bag regularly. Jello is a | colored boy, whose chief characteristic | and undoubtedly the reason for his | nickname are the rolls of fat that adorn his ample frame, for when Jello walks he wobbles. | This day he wore & woolen wind- breaker, for the day was chilly and Jello wanted to keep warm. They come to the sixth—Senator Harrison and Harry Butcher, broadcasting company tycoon, and Butcher grinned as the Mississippi solon put his second shot into a bunker right under the green. “Go up and get that pin, Jello,” said Pat, and proceeded to make such a skillful shot out of the hazard that the high-flying pill hit Jello’s chest and lodged in the open throat of the wind-breaker. “Shake yourself, Jel- lo,” yelled Senator Pat. Jello shook, and presently from his labors emerged the golf ball from the lower end of the wind-breaker. And it rolled smack into the cup for a 3. Of course, there was some conversa- tion about it, but nowadays no penalty is involved, and Pat insisted the birdie stand. It did. WH'F’Y COX is going ahead with his scheme for improving the back nine of the Kenwood course by eliminating the punch bowl sixteenth hole. The “bird baths” at the twelfth have been done away with and now WHI plans to cut out that very pe- culiar sixteenh by putting in a one- shotter as the sixteenth of the course, and playing the seventeenth as a com- bination of the present 16th and sev- enteenth by making a dog-leg two- shotter of it. Otherwise the layout will be much the same, but the punch- bowl green will be forgotten. Watch those Georgetown kids— John Burke and Billy Shea—in the medal round of the Chevy Chase tournament tomorrow. Starting late, after 3 o'clock, these two lads can well turn the tournament upside down with a brace of scores that may shove some of the 77s and 78s into a playoff. The fleld in he medal round tomorrow is small, but it’s composed of just about the best golfers in the city. The course is in excellent condition and for Chevy Chase is fairly fast in con- trast to the soft condition of the lay- out for several previous tournaments. Match play will start Thursday and wind up Friday. LIFF SPENCER, long- hitting Beaver Dam pro, was a few dol- lars richer today after grabbing fifth money in the middle-Atlantic P. G. A. sweepstakes tourney at Old Point Comfort. A dozen amateurs and pros from Washington played in the tour- nament put on by Al Houghton, former Washington mentor, and saw Chand- ler Harper, the skinny Norfolk young- ster pound out twin rounds of 68 to take the major portion of the purse. Harper won $90 with his scores of 68— 68—136. He knocked his second shot within 4 inches of the cup on the L | Charles Betschler.

'HE metropolitan, despite its com- peratively small prize list of $2,000, always has been a fast tourna- ment, kept that way by fast company. Frequently, as last Summer, it fur- nished fine preparation, to both local and touring pros, for the national open. At other times, as this week, it has furnished a chance for game- tuning before the first shots in the P. G. A. championship. Runyan has two factors working in his favor as the time approaches for the first round Thursday of the three- day competition. For one thing, the tournament site is the course where Paul was first em- ployed when he came up from Ar- kansas seven years ago. Even though he was at Forest Hill only one Summer, as assistant pro, he became sufficiently well acquainted with the place to tour it consistently in the low 60's. Many Stars in Field, IN ADDITION he has on his side what amounts almost to grim de- termination—determination not to be shut out of the Ryder Cup line-up.

R. McCALLUM. YODER year looms in local golf. The lanky, knock-kneed guy from Kenwood, who holds the Middle Atlantic title, will be the stand-out performer in the Chevy Chase invitation affair this week and it won't surprise the cog- noscenti, even including Bill Hillyer, to see Yoder win his second tourna- ment within a fortnight at Chevy Chase. We mention Bill Hillyer in passing because Bill has looked ’‘em all over, man and boy, for 30-odd years and Bill opines that Yoder is quite a shotmaker. Coming from the man whom the old-timers call the “father of golf” that is quite & compli- ment to Yoder. The slim Levi Yoder, who came from Linville, N. C., three years ago to elevate the local links situation, al- ready has tucked the Woodmont Country Club affair away in his bag, winning impressively from a good fleld. He will go up against substantially the same field at Chevy Chase, with a few added starters and perhaps better competition, but if you know your Yoder you won't be surprised to see him carve his methodical way through the Chevy Chase tournament just as he did at Woodmont.

'ASTING a reflective glance back over the record, we find that Yoder won the last Manor Club tournament two years ago. Another Manor affair is coming up a fortmight hence, and if Yoder grabs the Chevy Chase meet, which he well may do, we may have the making of another links monopoly like that held by the George Voigt of a decade back. And Yoder, who works in a local cafe, will defend his crown in the Middle At- lantic title tourney at Congressional next month. Don't play Levi Yoder short. He has what it takes on any man's golf course. Sports Mirror By the Associated Press. Today a year ago—Lawson Little failed to qualify for national open; Petey Sarron won N. B.

May 11.—The Ilinols | State Athletic Commission was investigating charges by Varias Mills ing, Los Angeles Filipino feathere weight, today that his manager, Tommy O’Loughlin of Sioux City, Towa, ordered him to “throw” his fight with Billy Marquart of Winnipeg, Manitoba, here last week. Milling, who decisively outpointed Marquart at the Marigold Gardens last Monday night, yesterday told the commission O'Loughlin asked him to be “sure to lose.” The fighter said, however, that neither Jack Hurley, Marquart’s manager, nor the pro= moters had anything to do with the alleged “dive” plot. Milling. a contender for 126-pound honors abcut five years ago, was sus= pended while the commission conducts its investigation. Commission Chaire man Joe Triner has asked the Calie fornia commission, with which Illinois has a working agreement, to assist in the investigation.
