Isemann Still Not Outofthe Woods: Steel Golf Clubs Win Ace Holdout
- «% — - — — ■ _______ ...
Will Get Together to Talk
Means of Raising Coin
to Pay Executive.
BY BOD THOMAS.
AFTER nearly a year of hand-to
mouth existence, George L.
Isemann, secretary of the Na
tional Duckpin Bowling Con
gress, still is without a guarantee that
life in the immediate future will be
Any less worrisome.
This fact comes strongly to mind
as the recent convention of the con
gress at Norfolk is reviewed. With
Isemann's written resignation in the
hands of the retiring president,
Charles F. O'Connell of this city, the
delegates, who included a number of
alley owners bearing proxies, literally
pled with Isemann to stick, and
George, even as in the past, accepted
their promises of financial support
and remained.
For the last year, or since the
subsidy of the congress by a na
tional manufacturing concern was
withdrawn, Isemann not only has been
poorly paid, considering the impor
tance of his job and his marked abili
ties therein, but has been forced to de
vote an unreasonable amount of time
and effort to collecting his dough.
Alley Owners in Powwow.
^J'HE new president, George Parker
of Connecticut, shortly will call
a meeting of alley owners at which
it is expected Isemann will be given
something more than airy promises
with which to carry on.
Isemann's threat to quit woke up
the alley men, some of whom prob
ably didn’t realize his financial diffi
culties. The issue really was whether
the congress could or would support
a high-grade secretary. There had
been talk of making the job a part
time affair, but this was so little
considered that the idea never was
put officially before the delegates. The
ramifications of Isemann’s post are
such that a part-time worker, even
with great capacity, couldn't do jus
tice to the job.
’’If the congress can't afford a full
time secretary,” Isemann told the
wrriter, “it would be best to forget the
whole thing.”
This view was shared by O'Connell,
who was the first president in the
history of the organization, founded
here in 1927, who wrestled with real
problems. The congress was laid in
his and Isemann’s lap when the sub
sidy, which guaranteed Isemann's
salary, was canceled. To raise money
enough to carry on, the congress put
a tax of $2 a drive on all bowling
e6tablshiments it sanctioned, but
found collections slow and haphazard.
Many promises weren't fulfilled. A
great many establishments kicked in
with nothing.
Looks Easy to Blick.
VV/ITH the $2 alley levy and with
tournament sanction fees, ac
cording to Isemann’s estimates, about
$6,000 would be raised if the alley
promoters co-operated 100 per cent.
This would be sufficient to finance the
organization.
It is planned eventually to make the
congress independent of the business
men of the sport through levying a
sanction fee on leagues. But this is
well into the future. It will require
much educational work. The opulent
American Bowling Congress has found
this method of operation successful.
John S. Blick, who promoted the
Convention Hall and Arcadia bowling
plants and now, as proprietor of a big
alley in Atlanta, is recognized as the
big man of the duckpin business in
Dixie, holds it should be easy for the
alley owners to tide over the congress
until it can effect the league fee
eystem.
buck, nere to visit old mends and
Bhoot a round or two of golf, said to- j
day: “I know' what Isemann has had
to put up with and it’ll be a crime if j
the alley owners don’t kick in for
him in a big way.”
Parker the Right Man.
J^LICK, at the Norfolk convention,
said he could guarantee $1,000
from Southern promoters. Isemann’s
biggest difficulties in the matter of
raising coin have been in parts of New
England. The election of Parker as
president should help there. A native
of Willimantic, Conn., Parker is in
a spot territorially to do a lot of
good and he’s a sound-thinking,
capable hustler.
O’Connell’s regime, considering all
Its problems, was a brilliant one. so
much so that, had he desired, he could
have become the first president to be
re-elected. Even Parker was willing
to step aside, but O’Connell pointed
out it was a material break for the
congress that a New England man,
and particularly an able one like Par
ker. be elevated to the chair.
Had Isemann gone through wdth
his resignation the secretaryship was
a cinch for our own Ben McAlw'ee,
■who, like Isemann, has made many a
sacrifice in the cause of the sport.
To this writer's personal knowledge
enough votes were available to put
over McAlwee, who was one of Ise
mann's stanchest adherents at the
convention. If Isemann were given
McAlwee to handle publicity it would
relieve George of a tough load. Ben
has teamed for the last year with
Ajwille Ebersole, secretary of the
Washington City Duckpin Association,
with marked results.
McAlwee Undervalued.
JF McALWEE should jack up, even
as Isemann meant to do, the bowl
ing industry in Washington would
realize his value a lot more keenly
than it appears to now. He’s been a
“working fool” for years and has
come to be accepted far too much
tor granted.
Ail things considered, the Norfolk
convention leaves an impression that
better times are in store for the
National Duckpin Bowling Congress
and therefore the sport itself.
The 1937 tournament was a whop
ping success and Richmond, the next
host city, already is on the job with
promotion activities. Bill Haskins,
aided by Blick. won an overwhelming
victory in landing the 1938 champion
ships for the Virginia capital, a tour
nament sought also by Washington,
Baltimore and several other cities.
Roy Miller, representing the Greater
National Capital Committee of the
Board of Trade, put up a meaty argu
ment in favor of Washington, but the
Richmond backers were too firmly in
line for even a master orator to dis
lodge them. It is likely that Wash
ington will be selected for the 1939
tournament.

PAR NOT PAR ANY
NIOREJAYS GENE
Courses Unchanged, While
Modern Equipment Makes
Golf Easy, He Holds.
By the Associated Press.
Asheville, n. c„ April 13.—
Mr. Average Citizen, says
Gene Sarazen, the golfing
farmer from Connecticut, is
being deceived by the ballyhoo of
I “par-cracking” scores.
“Par isn’t par ny more,” he said.
“Today, we are playing with mod
ern. scientifically made equipment, but
over courses that have not kept step
with time.”
Calls Augusta Course Weak.
gARAZEN, in Asheville for an ex
hibition match, recalled the scor
ing a week ago in the Augusta na
tional tournament, saying that on no
day was par more than 68, when the
card showed it 72. The winning score
was 283 by Byron Nelson of Reading,
Pa five under official par, but Gene
says it was 11 strokes over the actual
standing figures.
He said four years of competition
have proved the “masters” course at
Augusta to be "a weak test.”
“Most courses of the present day,”
he says, “are easy for the pro and
hard for the club member. They put
bunkers 150 or 175 yards away from
the tee. where the average golfer will
get into trouble. But the pro can car
ry it with a spoon or brassie.
Calls Layouts Out of Date.
“PSJOW that clubs are so modernized
for a scientific game and the
balls travel farther, the courses should
be remodeled. Most of them are out
of date and are badly in need of mod
ern architecture.
"The courses must be strengthened.
By that I don't mean to make the
rough rougher or holes too long for
the average player. Take the par 5
holes throughout America and you'll
find 9 out of 10 have the largest
greens. They should be the smallest
and the most treacherous. The par 5
holes are all being reached in two
blows.”

CENTRAL NINE GOOD
IN SPITE OF DEFEAT
CENTRAL base ball team which
was to make its series start this
afternoon against the interhigh cham
pion, Western, yesterday indicated it
may be the dark horse of the series
despite a loss to the Georgetown Uni
versity freshmen.
Only a single for Joe Moran, one
of their teammates last year, nipped
the Blue and White tossers in the
ninth inning. Moran drove home
Schmidt, who had doubled, with the
run which gave the little Hoyas a
5-4 victory.
Central had staged an uphill fight
to tie the score in the previous frame,
overcoming a 4-0 lead established by
the freshmen in the first three innings.
Dizzy Dezerne pitched well for Cen
tral after the third inning, striking
out nine batters, until he weakened
in the ninth.

BRINGING a season chockful of
stirring events to a close last
night at Arcadia, Federal
League rollers today look to
the championships of the Washington
City Duckpin Association, opening
next Tuesday at the Lucky Strike, to
bring their year’s maple mauling to a
smashing finish.
For a number of years the pin
spillers of this crack Government
loop either as a team or individually
have played starring roles in both
local and national events.
Laying the groundwork for the re
, tention of his No. 1 ranking title,
Astor Clarke whanged the maples for
a season average of 124 to win the in
dividual championship for the third
straight year. His Bureau of Investi
gation team walked away with the
pennant, winning by 12 games over
United States Senate.
Tight Down the Line.
QOVERNMENT PRINTING OF
FICE rollers, fresh from finish
ing twelfth in the national tourney at
Norfolk, landed in second place on
total pins over the defending cham
pion, National Capital Parks. With
only a game separating them the fol
lowing teams finished in this order:
Navy, I. B. E. W. No. 121, Veterans’
Administration, War and Labor. W.
P. A. finished in the cellar, the only
team that consistently was outclassed.
The G. P. O. quint, number
ing among its rollers Wally
Burton, who shot 461 for the
top set of the season, compiled
a commendable team average of
5*6, a mark that ranks it as one
of the most formidable teams in
the city.
The final night's matches witnessed
Investigation, led by Jimmy Ott's 356,
downing Veterans' Administration two
games. Andy Kramer who the week
before shot 404, paved the wray for a
2-1 Senate victory over Navy with 349.
The lanky Burton took high scoring
honors with 151-395 in G. P. O.'s two
wins from War. Harry Penfold, War's
leading shooter, rang up 142—381 as
his parting shot. National Capital
Parks won the rubber game from
Labor as Frank Gartside rolled high
counts of 137—346. I. B. E. W. swept
P. W. A., with Roger Brust’s 348 fea
turing.
Columbia Heights League shooters
will bring their season to a close to
night at Arcadia with a sweepstakes
that will follow the pay-off prizes.
Brust Ace in Record Game.
rJ'HE Electrical boys of the G. P. O.
"A" League have distinguished
themselves with the season’s highest
team game of 696. With Roger Brust's
170 as the incentive. Price. Lawrence,
Tucker and Lee collaborated in the
big count on Uncle Sam's big print
shop drives.
Ken Abernathy today is celebrating
the only 400 set of his career, a Jim
Dandy 404, the season record for the
Procurement League. With 152 as his
best single string, Ken's wallops were
instrumental in lifting the Romans
to second place as the Etruscans fell
before a team count of 1.661, tops for
the night at Lucky Strike. The
Gothics totaled 571 for high team
game, however.
—
Given a liberal handicap of
105 pins, Arthur Clark handily
won the Kilowatt League
Sweepstakes with a total of 705
for his five games and collected
$12.50 for his efforts.
Second place went to Charley Her
bert with 688—125. His prize was $10.
Vernon Soper copped the show money
of $7.50 with 686—75, while Norman
Kessler won fourth and $4 with 673—
100.
Bill Krauss, the loop's ace shooter,
shot a brilliant 662 from scratch to
collect $2. Adrian Belk’s 142 netted
him a buck.
Ida Weinberg Leads.
JDA WEINBERG, aside from being
the What’s in a Name League's
popular president, also is one of its
stars and she proved it last night at
Lucky Strike when she led the sweep
ing charge of the pennant-winning
W. A. C. S. over H. O. L. C. with top
scores of 139 and 345. High team set
of 1,467 went to Standards as it
blanked Ag.-Ex. with Margaret Milt
ner's 330 and Hortella Rosenberg's 320
leading the way.
Officers and employees of the Vir
ginia Public Service Co. honored 25
girl bowlers at luncheon at Alexan
dria’s George Mason Hotel at which
time Mary Travers was presented with
a silver trophy for the highest pinfall
of the season.
A team composed of Roberta Run
aldue, captain; Sue Brault, Christine
Hellen, Mary McLane and Dorothy
McGuire won the championship of the
six-team company loop, and each
member was presented with a gold
pin.

MAC SMITH IS LAST
MASTERTO GIVE IN
Johnny Fischer Is Alone
Among Well-Knowns to
Stick to Wood.
HE last great holdout against
steel shafts for golf clubs con
cedes that they are pretty good,
and henceforth MacDonald
Smith, the eminent Carnoustie Scot,
will continue to play ’em. Mac Smith,
the guy who should have won a flock
of major titles and has yet to grab
a single one, finally went to the steel
shaft last year, after a one-man hold
out against the machine-made product.
He finished In fourth place in the
open championship of 1938 In his first
major title attempt with steel-shafted
clubs. For years Mac made and sold
wooden-shafted club6 under his name,
remaining virtually the only top-notch
pro who adhered to wood who refused
to go to steel.
Matt Kiernan, a club manufacturer’s
representative, caught Mac on the
practice green one day. ‘ Say, Mac,”
he said, ‘‘Just between two old-timers,
how do you like these steel-shafted
clubs. What's the low-down?”
Fischer Still Uses Wood.
MA° pulled down his cap and said:
•'Well, Matt, you know now that
I’m in the steel shaft business X have
to play ’em. But they do act pretty
well. I find I can play ’em just about
the same as wood. The only trouble
I find with ’em is that after hitting
the ball for 36 holes I get a little
pain across the left hand. But they're
pretty good, all light.”
And that was the last of the holdouts
against the steel shaft. The golf world
today has gone over entirely to steel,
with the single exception of John
Fischer, the amateur champion. And
John probably will turn up at Port
land next August with a new set of
tools. Those old maulers with which
he won the championship at Garden
j City last September were workmanlike,
but hardly presentable as clubs which
the better dressed golfer would wear.
For years Fred McLeod held out
against steel, but nowadays he plays
a set of steel-shafted weapons, and
Bob Barnett, last of the Washington
pros to give up wooden shafts, now is
a confirmed steel shaft player.

YOU’D think that any girl golfer
who got to the final of a
big golf joust and met Patty
Berg, the Minneapolis red
head, would consider that just about
as big a thrill as she could get in
the game in which she is a ‘'fresh
man.” But tisn’t so with Helen Dett
weiler, the Congressional lassie who
is back home after compiling an
enviable record in Southern tourna
ments.
J-JER biggest thrill, Helen declares,
came on the day at Bellealr when
she licked Glenna Collett Vare on the
final hole and advanced to the final
round in the tournament in which
she later was beaten. ‘‘All the years
I’ve been playing golf, Glenna Vare to
me has been just about the beau
ideal of what a feminine golfer should
be,” said Helen, as she smacked out a
high-flying mashie shot in practice at
her home club. That constant prac
tice, by the way, is the thing that has
brought Helen from a so-so golfer
to a spot among the topnotchers of
the game. "I always thought Glenna
was just about the best player and the
finest sportswoman in the game,"
Helen said. “Merely to play with her
was a great treat. Our match con
vinced me that all I’d thought about
her was true, for she is a grand girl.
“But I hardly had any thought of
beating her. Here I was a freshman
in the big tournament game playing
against a woman who had won the
national championship six times;
probably the finest woman golfer this
country ever has seen.
“When I found myself 3 down
with 4 to go my only thought
was to stay in there and carry
the match a« far as I could.
“No one ever was more thrilled and
surprised than I when I sank the
putt that won the match. Wouldn't
you be if you licked Bobby Jones?”
J-JELEN traveled some 10,000 miles
between October and early April
in a tour that carried her through
half the Nation, starting in California
and winding up in South Carolina,
with stops along the way in Florida
and Georgia. Now she's looking to
further conquests, for the 22-year-old
blond is definitely up in the top
ranks of the skirted golfers of the
land. She will start her Summer cam
paign in the Southern women's cham- i
pionship at Atlanta in May, which
is the mam reason for those lengthy
practice sessions with Brother Billy
and wdth Professional Roland Mac
Kenzie at Congressional these days.
Far from believing that she has licked
the game, Helen realizes that only
by hard and constant practice can

she advance further In the game In
which she has gone so far in six short
years. For she played her first serious
golf only that far back. A year later
she was runner-up for the District
championship.
She’s going to pass np the
local title tourney this year.
The date for the affair at Chevy
Chase conflicts with one of the big
tournaments in the West and Helen
wants to take in all the big ones
she can find time to play in. "I’m
sorry I won’t be able to play in the
District this year," she says, "but I
promised Patty Berg to play in a
tournament at St. Paul at that time.
I also want to play in the Western
open and the Western derby.”
Reviewing her Southern campaign,
Helen played In about seven tourna
ments and reached the final in two
of ’em, at Palm Beach and Belleair.
Not so bad for a freshman at golf,
playing the big-time circuit for the
second year. Lots of gals play the
circuit for five years and more and
never get to a second-flight Anal. But
Helen Is far from satisfied with her
game. “They pay off on the short
game in this tournament racket,” she
says, “and I'm concentrating on that
now. If I can be sure of getting
those chip shots and short pitches
close enough to hole the next putt
I’ll do better. Anyhow, I’ll keep try
ing.” And don't let that girlish grin
fool you. There’s plenty of determina
tion and grit in the Dettweiler girl.
Also plenty of golf shots.

vein to this judgment of Vince, there
certainly is not too much cruelty.
If Bob Quinn chose to bring Vince
to the majors in order to bait the
box office that might be good business,
for the Bees need it. And if this is
tough on Vince, it is. by the same
token, giving him at least a chance
to make good in the majors. Other
wise, he may never have received
one.
Of course, it's no fun being
compared to a Joe Di Maggio.
Few bail players can stand the
comparison, judging the Yankee
slugger’s ability on his 1936
record.
Certainly Vince has two strikes on
him any time comparisons are In
order but, at that, it’s no disgrace
to run second to Yankee Joe. If ,
what the writing boys who should
know say of the pair, it was just
Vince's hereditary misfortune to walk
around with his eyes open and talk
animatedly, like nearly everybody
else.
Censure of Spartans Held Up
Michigan Legislature Slow to Act in Move to
Criticize Break With Detroit.
By the Associated Press.
LANSING. April 13.—A resolu
tion which would criticize
Michigan State College for
failing to meet the Univer
sity of Detroit in foot ball lay with
a committee of the Michigan Leg
islature today.
Friends of the college, which
broke off foot ball relations with
Detroit several years ago without
public explantion, sought to have
the resolution killed. The House
refused an immediate vote yester
day, and sent it to the Rules and
Resolutions Committee.
Representative William G. Buck
ley, Detroit Democrat and co
sponsor, said the resolution "merely
would put the House on record as
appreciating the fact that we real
ize the college is turning down the
$15,000 to $30,000 net it would reap
from such a game.'’
