Campbell Demotes Self as Bowling Ace : Golf Ball Situation Badly Muddled
PUCES MVHILOMY
IN ANCHOR POSITION
Lucky Strike Pilot Denies
He’ll Alter Form —Bess
Ackman Is Game.
BY FRANCIS K. STAN.
FOR the first time in years
Howard Campbell, whose
reputation as a bowler and
leader of championship
quints had reached a national
scope. was not rolling in his ac
customed anchor post last week
when Lucky Strike and Conven
tion Hall opposeo in a District
League match.
The Lucky Strike captain shifted
himself to fourth place and moved Earl
McPhllomy to anchor, and with this
move, those bowling folk who had not
voiced the opinion before, took it as
an Indication that Campbell, who in
his prime was the most consistent
duckpin bowler in the East, was all
•‘washed up.”
Campbells case is almost pathetic.
He was riding on tie crest less than
two years ago when he established IT
record with an average of 121-17 for
81 games in the National Capital
League. Many regarded him as the
greatest duckplnner of all time.
Yet last year he
almost completely
lost his touch. He
•trugg’ed almost
continuously
thr ou g hout the
season. His King
Pin t«am was nosed
out in the District
League race. And
this season he has
been even worse.
Recently persist
ent reports have
been malting the
rounds that Camp
bell. in an effort to
regain his old form,
has been experi
menting with the
hook-ball. This
Howard denies. For yeais he has re
lied on a straight, crosr-alley balls and
he declares that it will be with the same
ball he will regain his stride.
“That would be the worst thing a
bowler could do. change his ball."
Campbell declares. "Every bowler will
find himse'f or herself in a slump about
every four years. Experimenting with
another delivery only makes matters
worse.
“I don't think I’m through. Maybe a
lot of people are due for a surprise
before this season Is over.”
HOWARD'S first ball has been fall
ing to get him the breaks. “Tails”
on spare breaks have been much
In evidence. And. once regarded as the
most accurate of all pinmen, this season
he has been single pins
by wide margine.
Many contend that his confidence has
faded. Thev admired, but took his
voluntary release from the anchor post
as a sure indication that even In his
heart he knows h *’s washed up.
But. take It from Howard, he is not
through. His move was for the team’s
sake. McPhllomy has been hitting ’em
better. Campbell Is fighting a coura
geous battle that Is even more to be ad
mired than his unselfish act last week.
BESS ACKMAN has not boasted the
average of many girl bowlers and
this season probably again will not i
establish new high-average records, but
there are few who would be willing, if
trades were made in bowling as In base
ball, to swap Mrs. Ackman for any girl
atar. Her ability to come through in
pinches, whether in, leagues or tourna
ments. have earned her the reputation
of being a “money bowler" in a class by
herself. I
This season the two-time winner of
The Evening Star Girls’ Tournament
has played the major part in the 18-
game winning streak of the Ruth girls
In the Eastern
Star League. Her
average of 105-1 Is
the highest she has
ever attained She
holds the high set,
855. and high
game. 135, but it
Is Her ability to
come through in
a pinch that has
helped chalk up
those 18 games.
Last week Ruth
Won three more,
this time from
Unity, and a typi
cal Bess Ackman
performance was
forth coming.

anchor for Unity, spared in the last
box and counted five to put Unity
ahead. Mrs. Ackman. however,
cleaned the alley to give Ruth the game
by three sticks and keep the slicak
Intact.
Ruth needs only nine more victories
In a row to equal the league record es
tablished by Unity in the second year
of the Eastern Star loop.
TAD HOWARD'S Rendezvous
can thank Catherine Forteney lor
their first-place position in the Wom
en's District League. It was her spare
and six count in the last box, and 124
score for the game, that gave the
Rondvs the set-end game last week
from King Pin. after downing Lor
raine Gullls team in the opener by
four sticks. King Pin won the last,
however.
Convention Hall took second place
by sweeping over Recreation, Annette
Matthew leading with a 326 set.
Double-header strikes by Mary Cox
and Sarah Updike in the last box gave
Bill Wood's girls the final game with
Georgetown Recreation to sweep the
act. John Blicks won two from Lucky
Strike. Deal Service took a pair from
Takoma and Columbia won the odd tilt
from Meyer. Davis.

CLEAR HAVANA FILLER FAMOUS THE WORLD OVER
I j
1 year or two years hence, he will W a
i claimant for the throne of champion
picker of the rough fringed fairways.
We have the old 1.62x1.62 balls, the
so-called “rabbit” ball of past and
pleasant memory. We have the pres
ent standard ball weighing 1.55 oimces
and measuring 1.68 inches in size. ;
And we have the new standard ball
: weighing 1.62 in ounces and measur- ,
ing 168 inches in size And last, but
not least, we have the “needled” golf |
ball with which Harry K. B. Davis, the j
(Id-time West Coast amateur, has been ;
raising so much fog around Washing- '
ton for the last week or two.
THERE are plenty of old 162x1.62
golf balls floating around through
the atmosphere, hold-overs from
last year. And, of course, the market
is flooded with the present standard
ba”
While the new 1.62x1.68 ball Is not
yet present in any great quantity, j
! nearly every golfer has tried them out j
or has a couple tucked away in his
bag waiting for the moment when he !
, can get out and hit them. Not so
many have been fortunate enough to ;
get the “needled” ball. Harry Davis
has done the “needling” stunt only ;
fer a few of his friends. There are a 1
few doctored balls at Columbia. Con
gressional. Chevy Chase and Indian
Spring, but outside of these clubs the j
doctored ball* are rarities and. so far
as we know, there are none of them
in existence anywhere else, outside of i
Baltimore, where one of the Balti- '
more newspaper men has planted a 1
few of them to see how they act.
The new standard ball, weighing 1.62
ounces and measuring 1.68 in inches.!
is the best golf ball we have had since j
i the old 1.62x1.62 ball was legislated out j
! of existence, in my opinion, but it is !
not as good a ball as It becomes when !
Harry Davis shcots a drop or two of ;
water into its core through Ills hypo
, dermic instrument. J. Monro Hunter,
the big Indian Spring professional,
i claims the ultimate golf ball will be
: the 1.62x1.68, “needled” enough to put
; about 1.500 pounds pressure on the
windings around the core. He thinks
the new standard ball is a better ball
! than the balloon ball, which is the
present standard, but he also believes
that your ordinary golfer will find the
new standard ball when pumped up
is the best of them all, for long hitter
and short hitter alike.
GOLF BALL manufacturers have sev
eral tests for golf balls, among
them the bounce test in which !
! two balls are diopped together from
ail equal distance to see which bounces
th° highest. The idea is that this test 1
j will show which ball will go furthest i
i from the driver of a weak hitter, i
! Strangely enough the “ijeedled” ball i
i bounces highest in this test, which
Davis claims shows it will benefit the
•#eak hitter as well as the strong hitter.
The new standard golf ball Is very
; much better than the old balloon ball,
| and the new standard ball when the j
| pressure is put up by hypodermic in- ;
Jection. is the best of them all, but It
I is very confusing to know just which i
1 ball to play. In case "needling” of golf
balks becomes the thing to do.
! Davis claims his process does not af
fect the weight of a golf ball, since the
I manufacturers, in order not to exceed
• the weight limitations put on them by
| the United States Golf Association,
j make the ball a shade under the legal
weight. His process, he claims, only j
brings the ball up to normal weight, j
While at the same time it adds yards to 1
its length. Davis left Washington today
for Providence. R. 1., where he is to
demonstrate to officials of one of the ]
largest golf ball manufacturing estab- !
! lishments In the United States his j
method of doctoring golf balls. It may
well be that Gene Sarazpn s idea of j
building golf balls to fit the individual
requirements of the player will be the
ultimate outcome of all this uncertainty
about the golf ball. Gene said, when
the new standard ball was announced,
that the player should be able to choose
his ball according to his own knowledge
of liis hitting limitations, and it may
be that we shall be able to go to the;
• professional’s shop and ask for a ball
■ with as much tension as we want. But
I meanwhile, your ordinary golfer will go
along playing the ball he can get, and
like it.
FRANK CUNNINGHAM, assistant to
his brother Walter at Burning Tree,
is the new champion of the assistant
professionals of the Middle Atlantic
j Professional Golfers’ Association. Cun
ningham put on a blistering opening
round of 72 In' the assistants’ tourney
i held Friday at Columbia, and wound
I
up the day with a last round of 70 to
win the tourney by eight strokes. Far
to the rear were Gene Larkin of Chevy
Chase and Andy Gibson of the Balti
more Country Club, tied for second place
with cards of 156. Gibson blew a little
putt on the eighteenth green to win sec
ond place outright. Archie Clark o'
Congressional was fourth with 157.
While the match has not definite)'
been arranged, an exhibition will ••
put on next Thursday at the National
Women’s Country Club to mark the
official opening of the new nine-hole
course of the club. Mrs. J. M. Haynes,
the new Middle Atlantic champion,
and Mrs. Betty P. Meekley, the District
women’s champion, will be two of the
participants. The other two have not
yet been decided upon, although efforts
are being made to secure two nationally
known fair players to round out the
foursome. The opening day will also
be marked by an 18-hole ha Id leap
medal play contest, in which all woman
golfers In the city are Invited to play.
A fortnight hence the National Capi
tal open tourney will be in full swing
at the Kenwood Golf and Country
Club, with many of the leading pro
fessional stars of the country out there
trying to grab off a slice of the $2,550
