A—16- * Eddie Espey Appointed Manager of New Penn Bowling Center to Open Shortly Elks League Honors Stars With Record Turnout at Fefe 76-Team Catholic Circuit Names Annual Tourney After George Harbin ‘There's a new beam on the face of Eddie Espey today, for when the new 32-drive Penn Bowling Center on Upshur street, between Georgia avenue and Thirteenth street, opens shortly he will be its manager. He was appointed yesterday. More than a decade has passed since Eddie was Washington’s boy bowling wonder, but last night, at the annual Elks League dinner- dance, he was among those given a rousing hand for their season’s achievements on the mapleways. For Espey it served as a sendoff in tackling his new job. Attended by 174, the affair was the biggest ever held by the Elks. In the prize-receiving line, besides such prominent Elkman bowlers as Nor- man Schroth, Tom Nolan, Kenny Thorpe, Ed Mulvey, George August, Vince Fuchini, were members of the newly organized woman league, in- cluding Mrs. Betty Fuchini, captain of the winning Shag team; Mrs. Kenny Thorp, Mrs. Leonard Pearce and Sue Lewis. Officers for next season will be Joe Riani, president, who succeeds Harry Leer; Anthony Aneser, vice president; George August, treasurer; Joseph Quinn, scorer, and Seymour Hall, secretary, who takes over the important post so capably handled the- last two years by Leonard Pearce. Name Tourney for Harbin. As a tribute to George F. Harbin, the seventh annual Washington Catholic League tournament open- ing Monday at the Queen Pin will be named for him. Catholic League president since it was formed in 1930, his capable leadership and ardent interest have been responsible mainly for its growth into the largest duckpin league in the country, consisting of 76 teams divided into 10 sections. Following a custom of several years, a handicap of 85 per cent, without limit, will be allowed, mak- ing the tournament attractive to the low-average bowler as well as the skilled. Charley Olive, proprietor of the | Queen Pin, will donate trophies and medals to the team, doubles, singles and all-events winners.

Far short of his usual peak physi- cal condition, United States Chess Champion Samuel Reshevsky in- itiated play in his public simul- taneous exhibition at the Jewish Community Center at approxx- mately 9 pm. instead of the an-| nounced hour of 8.

A few minutes after the clock struck 11 the American wizard was obliged to hesitate again. Promptly the announcement came | that unfinished games would be adjudicated by Messrs I. S. Turover and District Champion Martin C. Stark. After half an hour of evaluation some 11 games were adjudged vic- tories for the grandmaster. Only one table garmered a win from Reshevsky and the lucky players were the two youthfuls Bobbie Hostler and “Stew” Wagman, who employed the Budapest defense to rare advantage.

April 17—The South Atlantic League, often styled the “mother of the minors,” un- wrapped its 1940 contribution to the baseball diamonds today.

Meanwhile Matchmaker Lew Ray- mond of the Auditorium Boxing Association, who has signed Perrin for a bout May 8, announced he would get another opponent for the New Orleans Italian. Lenny J. Elmer, chairman of the Louisi- ana Athletic Commission, said the body would recognize the bout as a championship affair if Perrin’s ad- versary were “a contender.” Becomes Battle of Wits. “We just threw the ball back on their lot,” Emile Bruneau, Perrin's| co-manager, described the latest | move in the diplomatic maneuver- ing to arrange—or keep from ar- ranging—a fight. Bruneau said he had wired Joe Turner, Washington promoter who has signed Scalzo for a bout, ofler-' ing to box there for a $5,000 guar-| antee. Sunday Scalzo's manager, Pete| Reilly, demanded a $5,000 guaran- tee for a fight here, declaring it was an advantage for any boxes to bat- | tle in his own yard.

He also speaks with considerable au- thority as a vice president of the sectional body, and thrice a former president. “I personally ask that all the golf pros in this vicinity play in this tournament if it is at all pos- sible,” he added. “They should do so for their own good and for the good of the association.” Barnett was referring to state- ments by one or two Washington professionals that they do not plan to play, because the tournament comes at a time when ‘their spring business will be at its peak. He said e means nothing personal, nor does he intend to interfere with the busi- ness of other pros. “But I think all of us should in an im- 121 Woman Golfers to Play In Miller Memorial Event One hundred and twenty-one feminine golfers will play tomorrow rs in the opening tourney of 1940 for the Phylls Keeler Miller Memorial trophy at the Washington Golf and Country Club.

More and better playing fields is his motto, and the judge is & man of action. Just how the diamonds for week- day leagues will be assigned this year still is rather vague, although there is a feeling that the old system of allotting the Ellipse grounds will be reverted to. Last year, with five circuits in opera- tion, it was necessary to rotate on the four diamonds and take one day off. In this manner every league used every field. Under tHe old system teams drew for the dia- monds and used the same one all season, shifting to a new mund the following year. Interested in All 'l'e-.mn.- Although Judge Curran’s interest is confined to weekday activities be- cause of the federation’s setup, he'd like to help teams playing Sundays as well and believes more neighbore hood diamonds, suitably located, would help revive the old interest. in - the sandlot game and restore sec- tional rivalries to the high plane they once enjoyed.
