Dean Rated No Ruth as Crowd Magnet: Club Owners Tackle Braves'Problem Babe, in Comeback, Would Have Easier Time Than Diz Getting $25,000. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 5.—Dizzy Dean has replaced Babe Ruth In the base bal', headlines this Winter, up to and including the Dizzy one's sudden inspiration to bccome a "hold-out," but the great Cardinal pitcher has yet to come within gunshot of the Babe's position as a drawing card or box office at traction, in the opinion of major league base ball men. "All this talk about Dean replac ing Ruth as the big magnet for the cash customers is just so much ' hokum," remarked a club owner who is in a particularly good position to discuss the subject. "We in the National League only wish it was the truth. Dean is fast becoming a popular figure, no doubt, but in the first place, you can't com pare a pitcher, who works only once or twice a week, with a player who may be out there every day. from the standpoint of drawing power. No Rush to See Dizzy. " τ Ν THE second place, the fans have { not been breaking down the gates to see Dean pitch, even when it was advertised well in ad vance The Cardinals tested this by trying a three-day build-up for Dizzy during tne last pennant season, but on one occasion only 1,100 cash cus , tomers appeared." This does not mean the elder Dean, as a soloist or in combination with brother Paul, will not become an in creasingly big attraction, especially if he continues his sensational speed ball pitching, but old man Ruth, if j he decides to have another part-time fling this year with the Yankees, will likely have an easier time getting a $25.000 contract than Dizzy. The Babe won't be home for an other month, to reveal whether he has changed his mind. Meanwhile, the impression grows that lie will feel the old urge for action, like a fire horse, and sign to go South once more with the Yankees. Ruth Likely to Stick. IN FACT, word already has sifted back from Europe that Ruth is ready to give up the managerial ] idea for a year, unless an unexpected opening develops between now and I March 1. "Of course. I can't speak for Ruth ' or the Yankees, but we want to keep Ruth in the American League, and I have a hunch the Eabe may feel he still has some home runs left in his ; system," said Will Harridge, president ! of the league, before journeying back to Chicago today. "From what I hear, Ruth showed lots of life on the barnstorming tour of the Orient. I rather suspect, when he gets back, that he will discard any lingering idea of retiring from the game. Personally. I would like to see him have the chance to manage one j of our ball clubs" but right now all the jobs seem very well filled." Means Much to Babe. FOR his part-time work last year Ruth drew down $35,000, twice as much as the Cardinals have | offered Dizzy Dean for the 1935 sea- I son. The Babe can well afford to i sign with the Yankees again, taking ! another substantial "cut," for the reason that his active continuation in j the game means he will collect from j by-products, including the radio. It would therefore he highly imprac tical, as well as inconsistent with his well-known personal inclinations, to ; suspect the Babe of seriously contem- I plating retirement. Paste it in your hat that Ruth will 1 sign a player's contract for one more year with the Yankees and get his , managerial chance, in New York or elsewhere, by 1936. WILSON ADDS TO STREAK Defeats American U., 37 to 21, to Make It Eleven Straight. Wilson Teachers' College basket ball quint today held its eleventh consec utive victory and its second over a rival District college team as a result of a 37-to-31 victory scored last night over American University. Wilson previously had trounced Gallaudet. Invading the Eagles' court, the Teachers rolled up a 19-to-12 lead at the half and then continued to out play American in the second. Ollie Tipton, with 13 points, was the win- j ners' high scorer, but he was closely pressed by Bobby Lucas, a newcomer i to the squad. Lucas counted 12 points. Bob Gillette topped American with 8 markers. · BAPTIST FIVE VICTOR.

By the Associated Press. GLENDALE. Calif.. February 5. —The golfing gentry turned its back on the unfinished Oakmont Nassau champion ship tournament today and headed for Mexico to compete in the Agua Caliente sweepstakes beginning Thurs day. Henry Picard, young Hershey, Pa., professional, built up a two-point lead in the event here yesterday in a heavy downpour which forced postponement. Next Monday the last two rounds of match play will be played, with the winner's share of $2.500 prize money and the title awaiting one of the nine remaining competitors. Splashing his way through the rain, ' Picard, North-South champion, won ! decisively from three of his four op ponents. picking up a maximum of 6 points from each. But he bowed to Harry Cooper, Chicago, in the other match. Cooper, a great match player, was second with 16, followed by Mac donald Smith, leader of the 72-hole ! medal play with 15.

GOLF BODY Stead of Chevy Chase Made Member of Committee on Sectional Affairs. FOR the first time in many years, a Washington man has been named on an Important com mittee of the United States Golf Association, other than the greens section, which has included several Washlngtonians since its in ception 13 years ago. Robert Stead, Jr., chairman of the golf committee of the Chevy Chase Club, a former president of the Dis trict of Columbia Golf Association and the Maryland State Golf Association, has been made a member of the com mittee on sectional affairs of the U. S. G. Α., and will represent this sector of the land on that relatively important committee. As a committee member Bob will get one of the modest little U. S. G. A. badges to wear on his lapel and will be entitled to all the privi leges which go with the job. Has Been Effective Worker. ONE of the foremost workers for the best interests of golf for the last 10 years. Stead gained na tional recognition last year by the satisfactory manner In which he han dled the Curtis Cup international matches at Chevy Chase. President Herbert Jacques of the U. S. G. A. paid him a high compliment at the conclusion of the matches, stating that Chevy Chase, under the chair manship of Stead, had set a new high mark of achievement in staging such important contests as that for the Curtis Cup. He had previously worked hand in hand with the U. S. G. A. in 1932, when the national amateur championship was put on at the Five Farms course of the Baltimore Coun try Club, and Bob, as a vice presi dent of the Maryland State Golf As sociation, had helped mature the p'.ans for that classic. Not since Dr. Walter S. Harban resigned as vice president of the Û. S. G. A. in 1919 has a Washington man been on one of the important committees, barring the greens section, which is composed largely of experts from the Depart ment of Agriculture. Named on Green* Committee. WASHINGTON men named on the Greens Section Executive Committee this year include Dr. Harban, Dr. John Rionteith, jr., and Kenneth Welton. The announce ments came In the list of subcommit tees for 1935. made public from head quarters of the national golf body In New York. Joseph P. Lynch of Georgetown University, a Boston boy, is named chairman of the Committee on Intercollegiate Affairs, with Charles R. Yates of Atlanta, the tall, lean Georgia boy who reigns as intercol legiate champion, the secretary of the committee. Lynch, a fine golfer him self and a star amateur around Bos ton. will handle the details of the coming intercollegiate tourney at Congressional, billed for June 24-29. inclusive. Stead's appointment to the Com mittee on Sectional Affairs fits in with plans of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association, which has been striving for years to secure local representa tion on an important U. S G. Α. committee. It may be heralded as the entering wedge in a campaign to get a spot on that holy of golf holies— the Executive Committee of the U. S. G. Α., the body which in its meetings wields all the power there is in the national golf organization. A. A. U. RING DATES SET Golden Gloves Event Slated at C. U. March 13, 14 and 16.

ILE MEETS FILL GOLF SLATE HERE Invitation Events Omitted, but Lists for Men and Women Sparkle. BY W. R. McCALLUM. A LEAN year of competitive golf. 1 marked by departure from the invitation tournament field of j five local clubs, stretches ahead for the male amateur golfers of Wash ington. In so far as Invitation tour naments are concerned, there just are not going to be many of them around ! the Capital this year. But there will be plenty of other events of a championship nature, both for men and women, in which to battle for little silver doo-dads and news paper headlines. A schedule, almost complete in its details, for both men and women links j enthusiasts came out of meetings of ! the two local golf associations yester-, day. The men's competitive season is to be curtailed, but not the worn- i en's. Not only will their old tourneys be revived again, but even more staged during 1935. Highlights of the meetings—those of ; the District Golf Association and the Women's District Golf Association were that invitation tourneys have been dropped this year by Columbia, Washington, Beaver Dam, Indian Spring and Belle Haven; that Wood mont, an old-time holder of tourna ments, has returned to the tourney fold; that the District amateur cham pionship goes to Washington Golf and Country Club for the first time in ; many years, and, that the women will ! stage their championship over the ! course of Indian Spring Country Club., Curiously enough, where in other years May has been the choice month for tournaments, the men's schedule ! shows two open weeks in May this | year, while June is all jammed up with I links aflairs. Schedule for Men. THOMAS M. BELSHE of Indian Spring, heads the men's associa- ι tion, while out of the women's ; meeting came the appointment of Mrs. Roy C. Miller of Kenwood as tournament chairman for the women's organization. Here is the men's schedule: May 7-10, Inclusive, Invitation tournament. Woodmont Country Club. May 14-17, inclusive, invitation tournament, Chevy Chase Club. June 12-15. Middle Atlantic Golf Association amateur championship, probably at Virginia Beach. June 18-21, Manor Club invitation tournament. June 22, 23 and 24 (tentative^ ama teur-pro tournament, Indian Spring Country Club. June 24-29, inclusive, national ln terco'legiate championship, Congres sional Country Club. June 26. 27 and 28, District junior championship, Kenwood Oolf and Country Club. August 27, 28 and 29, District ama teur championship, Washington Golf and Country Club. Announcement ofthe award of the women's title tourney to Indian Spring did not carry a date with it, but the tournament usually la held early In June. The men discussed, but took no action on a propoeed father-and-son tournament to be sponsored by the District association, nor did they take action on a proposal that the associa tion sponsor an individual lnterscho lastic chamiponship. Officers Chosen. SOMEWHERE In the near South to day are Dr. William C. Barr re elected secretary, and Dr. Bruce L. Taylor, chosen again to the Execu tive Committee of the District Asso ciation. They left Washington today for Miami. Others chosen to the men's organi zation were: First vice president, Capt. Kendall J. Fielder. Army-Navy; sec ond vice president, Martin R. West, Columbia. In addition to Dr. Taylor, Albert E. Steinem of Woodmont was chosen to the Executive Committee. The association approved a plan to make the Middle Atlantic Oolf Association the clearing house for tournament dates in this territory Delegates from Beaver Dam an nounced that in place of their invita tion tourney they will hold a field day, probably on a Sunday In June. Women Fill Committee·. WHILE dates for the major events of the women will not be announced until next month R'hen the Executiv· Committee meet· again, the women went a long way j toward Ailing in the dates of the major fixtures. The Post Cup tour ney goes to Congressional. Mrs. Miller, the new Tournament Committee chairman, succeeds Mrs. Howard J. Simons ol Manor in that post. With tier will serve Mrs L. B. Schloss of Woodmont. ' The first team captain is Mrs. Theodore Peyser of Woodmont, with Mrs. L. T. Collins of Indian Spring as assistant. The team matches this year will be played in two-ball foursomes in stead of in the usual foursome Nassau play. Handicaps for second team members were lowered from 18 to 17. Mrs. J. P. Gross of Indian Spring again heads the Handicap Committee, one of the real "dog house" jobs of the organization, but a post she has filled creditably for years. Members of the Tournament Com miteee, in addition to Mrs. Miller, are Mrs. H. K. Corn well. Columbia, Mrs. W R. Woodward, Army-Navy; Mrs. D. R. Hutchinson, Beaver Dam; Mrs. Montgomery Blair, Jr., Chevy Chase; Mrs. P. J. Kennedy, Indian Spring; Mrs. Douglas Tschiffely, Washington, and Mrs. Gilbert Hahn, Woodmont. Miss Susan Hacker of Chevy Chase again will serve as first-team captain In the intercity matches, with Mrs. Gross, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. C. K. Wing and Mrs. N. J. Waldron on the com mittee with her. Mrs. C. H. Merril lat of Washington is second-team captain, to be aided by Mrs. Herman Stabler of Columbia. Mrs. H. A. Knox of Congressional heads the Rules Committee, serving with Miss £. C. Harris and Miss Sue E. Gantt of Kenwood.

NORTH IS83 * Big Pin Game Makes Comeback At Recreation and Columbia BY ROD THOMAS. THE rumble of the tenpin ball, once almost extinct In Wash ington bowling alleys. Is be coming a familiar sound In two of the larger establishment.1". At the Columbia and Recreation a big pin boom is on. These two plants are catering to a large number of newcomers from ten pin territory who have yet to be con verted to the small-ball game prev alent through most of the East. It seems the tenpin lure, and the game has an attraction all Its own. is weaning some bowlers from duckpins. Beryl English, boss of the Columbia, and Caleb O'Cennor and Bob Mc Koever, proprietors of the Recreation, are examples. Anyway, they've tried their hand at the game lately and Indicate they like It. A team match Is being cooked up between the Recreation and Columbia and McKeever, O'Connor and English will take part. English is becoming an expert, being particularly accurate on spares. His average is climbing up into the charmed 200 class. There are a dozen old-time bowlers who probably would return to the mapleways after many years of retire ment if a tenpin league were organ ized. Even Harry Krauss likely would join up again. Washington's most famous bowler of the past always was fonder of the big game than the little. He used to shoot tenpins in one match and ducks in another on adjacent drives and lead the city in average In both games. Krauss rolled an entire league schedule at tenpins without losing a spare. About "Count" Gengler. A BOWLING magazine recently published the life story of John Gengler. widely known as "The Count," and it was perhaps the most interesting yarn ever written about a bowler. The German's career has been brilliant, romantic and extremely colorful. Few bowlers ever equaled his skill In tenpins and he was a star duckp inner. By knowing the "spot" on an alley, Gengler once rolled seven consecutive strikes in pitch darkness, the lights being turned on between boxes. His delivery was the simplest yet devised. | He took one step and let the ball go with a slinglike swing. His unher alded visit to Washington in 1915 j or thereabout, during which he , "cleaned up," has become a legend. From coast to coast Gengler gathered the long green in tenpins and duck pins. In a money match he hai no nerves, and he performed trick shots that were amazing. He learned to bowl in Germany , where the tenpin balls had no finger holes and where the drives had short runways and were like a cobbled street, compared with the well-kept American alley. The short German runway was responsible for Gengler's one-step delivery. An American bowler saw Gengler perform on a Paris drive and induced him to come to the United States. It turned out to be a land of soft pickings for the German, who won enough money to establish himself as a turfman. He retired as a bowler some years ago. A string of horses, which he trains himself, is carrying Gengler's colors at several leading tracks It has been said "The Count" ever was willing to meet any bowler for any purse, under any conditions, whether the game be tenpins or duck pins. but this is not a fact. When , Gengler came to the Atlantic Coast Bowling Association tournament, here in 1916, this reporter attempted to match him at duckpins with the great ι Paul Pohler of Boston. The match never came off because the pair couldn't agree on the size of the ball to be used. Gengler. as a bowler, was anything but a philanthropist. It Is doubtful if he ever made a wager in which he had not at least an even chance to collect. Dr. Tommy Rice of Henry Rodier's I Thursday Nighters came to the last box of a game the other night needing a double-header to win. He turned to Sam Rice, the ball player, a spectator. "I'm going to get, it, Sam," he announced. And did! Done Gruver of the Thursday Nighters, is on the sidelines with a busted bone in his left arm.

EW YORK, February 5—The future of the Boston Braves in regard to ownership and management will be takpn up today as club owners of the National League confer with President Ford Frick on various matters, including assignment of playing dates for the 1935 season. Conflicting reports had it that Emil Fuchs. president of the club, has suc ceeded in obtaining sufficient funds to make a satisfactory adjustment of the club's financial affairs. On the other hand, it was said Fuchs would resign the presidency and the Braves' man agement would become the lot of either Vice President Charles F. Adams or Team Manager Bill Mc Kechnie. The plight of the Braves became a league matter several weeks ago when an attempt was made to install dog racing in Braves' Park The Gaffney estate, through which the Braves leased the field, contended the lease was abrogated because the club was behind in its rent and that it pro posed to lease it for dog racing. The league won that fight, guaranteeing the estate rent for the next 11 years. The other club owners demanded Fuchs raise $50,000 before the start of the season. Toward this end, by means of advance sale of tickets, the Braves' president is reported already to have raised $30,000. As the club owners gathered, Fuchs and his associates were represented as confident of being able to meet all the conditions—financial and other wise— imposed on them at the last league meeting several weeks ago.
