Whip Litchfield, "Right-Foot Bowler/9Stands Alone Among Stars ofMapleways ONLY UNORTHODOX STYLIST TO SHINE W. C. D. A. Resolution Award ing Annual Tournament Saves Argument. BY R. D. THOMAS. IF Whip Litchfield is chosen No. 1 bowler of Washington this season he will become the most unusual figure in the history of duckpins. Never before has a bowler with an unorthodox delivery won recognition as a real star. For many Litchfield takes the spot light from such wizards as Nick Tronsky ■ind Karl McPhilomy, whose deliveries are in strict accord with approved bowl tog form. Students of farm marvel over Litch field's performances. It is difficult for most bowlers to understand how Whip, shooting off his right foot, maintains the balance necessary to accuracy. In the beginning Litchfield was told by experts he'd never do well unless he changed his delivery. This season his District League average is 121; he won the Campbell Sweepstakes with a record Bcore of 1,957; cracked a 20-year-old National Capital League record with a game of 186, and has rolled nine 400 pets, more than any other bowler ever Bhot in a single season and with lots of time to boost the total. rpHE Washington City Duckpin As 1 soclatlon will hold its annual meet ing and election Sunday at 3 p.m. felt the Raleigh Hotel, and will make plans for the city tournament. The tournament will be held at the Lucky Strike If the association sticks to its circuit rule, which in all probability it *ill. Following is the resolution which put the tournament on a circuit and ended a bawling war, but which seems to have kicked up a bit of a fuss this season: "That the annual Spring tournament of 1930 be held at Convention Hall alleys or such alleys as the Blick interests may designate; that the 1931 tournament be held at the King Pin alleys or such al leys as the Meyer Davis interests may designate, provided that the alleys so designated each make the usual annual contribution of $300 to the association and provided that sufficient alleys are allotted to the association for the stag ing of each tournament, and provided that If other interests in the future construct alleys sufficiently commodious to accommodate the tournament and will agree to the aforementioned con ditions, such alleys to be added to and xnade an additional part of this resolu tion, and provided further that this resolution be continual." NOT a masterpiece of English, that resolution, but cJ~ at enough in meaning. Since It was adopted the Carroll interests have dropped out of the wheel and the establishments once controlled by John Blick have be come Independent. At present only four plants are deemed suitable for cltv turnaments, these being Convention Hall, probably the finest tournament alleys In the country; the Lucky Strike, Columbia and Arcadia. Neither the Columbia nor Arcadia Is provided for in the ev olution, but will be offered placet <n the circuit at Sunday's meeting. Before the present arrangemej » s made the city tournament was aw jd by vote of the board of directors, *.on eisting of league presidents.or del' itec, and the scrapping sometimes was fierce. Any suggestion of a switch back to the eld method probably wouldn't be favor ably received Sunday. GREAT money players are Italians, no matter what the game they choose. You'll find Tony Santini. Ollle Pacini and Joe Preschi among the first half dozen of the George Washing ton sweepstakes, rolled at the Lucky Strike. And invariably you'll note an Italian or two among the leaders in any ttake event of the mapleways. What causes that? Every member of her team regretted f.eeply the doctor's decree that took Bil le Williams from the Recreation line tip in the Ladles' District League, but Regarded from a practical angle, It was en ill wind that blew good.

Von Porat in New Ring Start Norwegian, Who Quit After Loss to Stribling, Back to End Old Feud With Griffiths. [ By the Associated Press. HICAGO, February 24 — About four years overdue, Otto von Porat. Norwegian C heavyweight, and Tuffy f Griffith* of Sioux City, Iowa, will f meet in & 10-round bout tonight at I the coliseum. f Pour years ago. Von Porat and Grlffllths. both adopted Chlcagoans 1 and residing on the West Side, were among those seeking serious con sideration as challengers for th® world title. Efforts were made to match them, and such a bout, a ; great Chicago natural, might have produced a gate of $100,000. For one reason and another, the natch was not made. Recently LOrlfflthi, at his best a clever boxer ^"*4 defensive artist, suffered re verses, largely due to Illness. Von Porat, a terrific puncher, was mak ing progress until matched with William Stribllng in 1930. The G«orgian knocked him out In one round, and so disgusted with him self was Von Porat, that he re turned to Norway. With considerable of its appeal worn off. the contest probably will attract about $20,000 worth of busi ness. It will be Von Porat's first engagement rlnce returning to the United States. The supporting card Incluc'es two other 10-rounders. Joe Sekyra of Pa: on, Ohio, and Jack Roper, California heavyweight, will tangle in one. and Isadore Gastanaga, a hard punching heavyweight from Spain, will make his first Chicago start against Babe Hunt of Ponca City.

Br the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 24.—King Levlnsky, clouting Chicago heavy weight, rules an 8-5 favorite over Johnny Rlsko. Cleveland veteran, for their 10-round bout in Madison Square Oarder tonight. The rivals have clashed twice before, with Risko winning by decision each time, hut the betting fraternity figures that Jchnny is on the down grade now and have laid their odds accordingly. Rlskc is 21 years old, Levlnsky only 22. Their bout was to have been held last Friday night, but was postponed a week following the death of Ernie Schaaf. Tony Cancela, Chicago heavyweight, meets Charlie Massera, heavy punching local boy, in the 10-round semi-final. Doc Wilson, Head Hurt in Mat Bout, Is Expected to Recover By the Associated Press. MUNCIE, Ind., February 24.—Dr. Ralph Wilson, physician and professional wrestler, was re ported "greatly improved" at Ball Memorial Hospital today from an lntra-cranial hemorrhage and concus sion he suffered in a match with Wee Willie Davies last night. Dr. R. A. Beeson, attending physi cian. said the hemorrhage was "slight" and that "we expect recovery." He said Wilson, former 175-pound cham pion of the Western Conference, was "fairly clear mentally." Referee Walter Fisher, teammate of Dr. Wilson at Indiana University in 1924, awarded the bout to him on a foul after fans clambered into the ring protesting the tactics of Davis, a Virginian. Fisher, ringsiders said, knocked Davies down when the Vir ginia grappler placed Wilson's head in a sort of noose he made by crossing the upper and lower ring ropes and ap plied pressure to the ropes. At that time each had won one fall. Fisher called the foul, yelling fans were cleared from the ring and Wilson was carried to his chair, apparently dazed. Suddenly he lunged at his op ponent, floored Davies with a flying tackle and pinned his shoulders. When Wilson got up to walk away he col lapsed and was rushed to the hospital. It was Wilson's first bout since Jan uary 5, when he suffered an Injury in a bout with Tom Marvin at Indian apolis. He began his professional ca reer in 1929, wrestling out of Philadel phia, Pa., Indianapolis and Evansville. Referee, Fans, Police in Action As Judson Subdues Garibaldi THOSE who stoutly assert there is nothing new under the sun may be quite right, but in the event a trip to a rassling ring has been overlooked it is possible the boys who live by the sneer on their faces and the growl in their throats may be able to convince that Ol' Sol misses a trick or two. Anyhow local rassling fans were treated to something new in the gentle art of cauliflowering at the Washing ton Auditorium last night—a match between a Ta&sler, a portly referee, two futile seconds and a couple of fans, one armed with a pop bottle he never got around to throwing. Officially last night's rassling brawl goes down as a victory for Prank Jud son over Gino Garibaldi via the dis qualification route, but unofficially the result might well have been a win for Referee Benneh Bortnick over Gari baldi. Judson and Garibaldi had been nom inated to top off a rassling card with a finish match. However, Mr. Garibaldi, who turned up in a rather ugly mood, was so intent upor massaging Judson's stomach with his knees that Referee Bcrtnick was forced to stop the mas sacre and award the bout to Judson, who ostensibly was unable to continue after receiving a particularly hard kick that appeared a little low. Garibaldi, however, still wanted to indulge in his bit of barroom brawling. As Bortnick lifted Judson's hand amid wild cheering, Garibaldi leaped across the ring and plopped himself astride Benneh's back. The portly Bortnick floundered like a sinking ship and Gari baldi vainly attempted to obtain some kind of a grip around Benneh's too round midsection. The respective sec onds of Garibaldi and Judson made fancy dives into the writhing mass and only complicated matters. The crowd surged to the ringside and all was obscured for the moment. One gentleman brandished a potent looking pop bottle, but it was reported Bortnick beat him to the punch, planting his chubby fist against Garibaldi's mandi bles and temporarily rendering the Italian hors de combat. A couple of policemen definitely squelched further proceedings. The remainder of the card was pleas ing, with the Jim McMillan-Abe Cole man and Paul Jones-Joe Savoldi bouts, both draws, standing out. George Zaharias flattened Marshall Blackstock In 11 >2 minutes, and Fred Grobmier finished Bruno Gorasini In 10 minutes in other matches. • GAINER S HIT RECALLED. When Babe Ruth picked his 14 inning hurling victory in the 1916 world series against Brooklyn as one of his biggest thrills, Houston fans thought of Del Gainer, one-time first sacker for the Houston club. Gainer, pinch hit ting, won the game with a two-base hit. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. ALLAN LARD and G. B.

February 24.— The Junior middleweight cham ship, a new Southern Confer ence prize, will feature two undefeated contenders at the seventh annual tournament at the University of Virginia today and tomorrow. Harold Stuart of Virginia and Bill Dunnaway, who appear to be the favor ites in uie 155-pound division, have punched out enviable records this sea son.

Dunnaway, a sophomore at North Carolina State, has four technical knockout victories, two In the first rounds over Sprule of V. P. I., and Meadows of South Carolina, and two in the second rounds over Ross of Duke and Burke of North Carolina. His only bouts that went to a finish were against two of Dixie's outstanding junior middleweights. Pound of Wash ington and Lee. and Sullivan of Georgia.

STUART scored clean knockouts in the first round over Mclntire of North Carolina and in the third round over Culbreath of Florida. His two technical knockouts, both ending In the second, were over Capt. Epps of V. M. I. and Capt. Rose of V. P. I. Ross of,Duke, who was floored by Dunnaway, lo6t to Stuart on a decision.
