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.

Quit Rain-Halted Oakmont
Nassau, in Which Picard
Is Holding Lead.
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. They collected j
S100 prize money each by virtue of
setting the medal pace for two rounds, j

D. C. MAN HONORED
BY U. S. 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.

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.

W R. Woodward, Army-Navy; Mrs.
D. R. Hutchinson, Beaver Dam; Mrs.

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.

REFUNDING IM
IN SESSION TODAY
Fuchs Group Confident It
Will Arrange Finances
to Retain Control.
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.
