District Links Women Tighten Rules for Tourney Competition
CODE TO CONTROL
HANDICAP MEETS
Laws for Play-off of Ties,
Penalty Provisions Are
Made More Drastic.
BY W. R. McCALLUM.
O MORE will there be haphaz
ard handicapping or interpre
tation of rules in tournaments
sponsored by the Women's
District of Columbia Golf Association.
The girl friends, proceeding farther
along the lines of sound administra
tion of their golf affairs, have drawn
up a code of rules providing for
handicapping according to the United
States Golf Association system and
for play in all tournaments.
Briefly, the new rules cover the fol
lowing points: Each player must have
a District Golf Association handicap,
United States Golf Association rules
will prevail, ties for the winner of any
trophy in a handicap tourney shall be
decided by an 18-hole handicap play
off over the same course within five
days of the tieing day, with the hour
of the play-off to be arranged by the
Tournament Committee chairman,
Mrs. K. S. Giles of Indian Spring; ties
for other prizes will be drawn, ties for
last place in any flight must be played
off immediately, and any player thus
tied who leaves the club before the
play-off shall forfeit her right to the
upper flight; in case of a tie in a play
off a nine-hole play-off shall be held
if the handicaps are the same, any
entrant more than 10 minutes late
without a valid excuse shall be dis
qualified, qualifying rounds for all
tournaments shall be played in three
•omes, whenever possible.
Adequate Rules Enforced.
JN PAST years the tournaments
have been more or less run by
the lule of thumb method, but now
the feminine divot-lifters have a
definite and fixed code, as befits an
organization that has grown so fast
in the last six or seven years. Today
a tournament with less than 100 en
tries is rare, and a code of rules to
cover sueh affairs was needed.
In addition to the tournament rules
a set of rules covering team matches
has been adopted, providing that cap
tains must provide team line-ups,
that each team member must have a
handicap card and that in case a play
er defaults her team automatically
loses ll2 points, with the other V/a
points to be played for in a twosome.
Handicaps are to be based on uni
form yardage as adopted by the
United States Golf Association Wom
en's Committee, and upon the five best
dated and attested scores made under
the U. S. G. A. rules.
More Handicap Restrictions.
more than three scores will be
used from one course and the
handicap is figured by taking four
fifths of the difference between the
average of women’s par for the five
rounds played and the average of the
five best scores. All handicaps are to
be based on the scores of the previous
season and may be raised not more
than three points in one season or
reduced as the scores warrant.
Mrs. Harry A. Knox of Congres
sional is Rules Committee chairman,
with the following as her associates:
Mrs. J. W. Beller, Columbia: Mrs.
Y. E. Booker, Chevy Chase; Mrs. W.

Pacini and Keith Take Lead '
In City Tournament Doubles
OLLIE PACINI, Northeast Tem
ple's mighty bowler, and Ed
die Keith of 197-game fame,
smashed their way to first
place in Class A doubles with a 778
total as no less than five new leaders
forged to the front in the Washington
City Duckpin Association champion
ships at Lucky Strike last night.
The two Washington Brewery team
stars were well on their way after a
middle game of 287 when Pacini shot
152, but Keith, more consistent, fin
ished with the best total, a stout 391,
four pins better than Pacini's count.
Their combined score routed Astor
Clarke and Bill Krauss out of the
leadersip by five pins.
But the flashiest duckpin scattering
was turned in by Gene Hargett, a
teammate of Pacini, and two lesser
lights, George Grimes, a Navy Yarder
and Joe Mullican, of the A. & P.
League, while Ed Goldblatt of the
Arlington County League, squeezed
his way into the limelight.
Hargett Makes Triple.
■ J-JARGETT, pouncing on the maples
for a triple-header strike, shot a
brilliant 170 to climax a 416 doubles
set, but with his partner Frank Mis
chou supplying only 332 pins failed to
land any higher than fourth place in
the top doubles class with 748.
Grimes shares the high game of
the tournament with Hargett, and he
too, will collect $5 for a triple-header.
His whopper was instrumental in lift
ing his Gun Shop team, of the Colum
bia Lodge 147, I. A. M. League into
third place of Class D with 1,627.
Mullican shot 165 for his second
effort, totalling 392 which paved the
■way for his Red Circle team to take
sixth place in Class D with 1,603.
However, Tool Shop of the mam
moth 40-club Navy Yard loop assumed
first place in Class D with a 1,647
total, supplanting Doubleday-Hill, of
the Electrical League, as the leader.
Ryon’s 138-364 was tops for the Tool
Shop rollers.
A middle game of 532 crushed Wash
ington Brewery’s hopes of winning
the Class A team event. The North- 1
casters are second with 1,730, six
pins back of Arcadia.
Cooke Press, of the Arlington
County League, gained third place in
Class C with 1,727 as Brad Mandley,
rolling his second time in the tourna
ment shot 372.
Rolling the second highest set of
the night, Armand A. Cyr, of the
Takoma Duckpin League, shot to the
front in Class B singles with 399,
while C. H. Harper, of the Home
Owners’ Loan League, tilted top score
in Class E singles to 335.
Elkins Ties for Lead.
A . C. ELKINS, Evening Star tourna
ment champion, tied with R. B.
Shaw for the singles lead of Class D
with 351. His H. O. L. C. teammate,
A. A. Robey, trails him in second place
with 344.
J. J. McMahon, jr., of the Procure
ment League, who topped off his
doubles with a nifty 162 string, chalked
up 356 for sixth place in Class C sin
gles, but the honors in this division
went to C. Nicol of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars League, who took third
place with 376.
Pacini fell short by three pins of
equalling the Class A all-events mark
held by R. A. Watson of the Columbia
Heights League, when he added a 375
team set and 385 in singles to his 387
doubles score for a nine-game total of
1,147.
Bill Wood, superintendent of the
Lucky Strike, who has been on his
toes since the tournament started last
Tuesday, happened to see the freakiest
shot of the tournament the other night.
Glancing down the alleys he noticed
some bowler shooting at the 5-10 break.
Over went No. 5 pin to knock down
No. 10, but much to his amazement
No. 5 righted itself on No. 10 spot. He
failed to get the bowler’s name.

BY PAUL J. MILLER. JR.
UCH good will that had de
veloped among the office
personnel of the munitions
unit of the War Department
in recent months has been smashed
literally into bits and now a decided
rancor emanates from the once con
genial atmosphere that brought into
being one of the strongest chess clubs
In the District.
It all started from a misun
derstanding. Some one omitted
consulting all the “boys in
power.”
The result was an administrative
order prohibiting employes from hav
ing a chess club within their own
Government building—a privilege fos
tered and regarded with favor by
other Uncle Sam units as Treasury,
Agriculture, Farm Bureau—to name a
lew.
There is a chap down in the War :
Department who has an important j
key role, namely, chief clerk in the
office of the chief of finance. His
name is Lloyd Boose. I understand
his friends call him “Colonel.”
Now "Colonel” Boose obviously
doesn't know what strife the admin
istrative taboo on chess has provoked.
I am sure “Colonel” Boose
would not disapprove of the
splendid mental qualities the
game of chess develops.
I am sure—for the “Colonel” is a
broadminded fellow of the “good
sport" variety—that “Colonel” Boose
would not do any single thing to
damage the esprit d’corps of the
•'doughboys"—at least not with malice
aforethought.
So, knowing Lloyd to be a “good
fellow,” I am asking him to look
into this matter personally and rectify
the grave error that has unwittingly
thrust Into the streets the War Chess
Club, which produced a chess team
that licked the daylights out of every
chess quintet in Washington to cap
ture the team championship of the
District.
Of course the soldiers will carry on.
You can’t down them. Yet when this
column sees the District team “cham
peens” evicted from their rightful
place in the sun. . . . Well, the
’“Colonel” will change this I am sure.
. Perhaps, Lloyd will get speedy ac
tion and give the War Department
employes the same club facilities as
are enjoyed by chess clubs in other
Government departments. He can if
he will ... I believe he will. How
about It, “Colonel”?

College Park, at the same time.

reception committee.
Coach Burton Shipley, concentrat
ing on Southern Conference victories,
found his pitching staff a bit weary
today, Dale Patterson having worked
Thursday and George Wood and
Charley Weidinger having been em
ployed yesterday in trimming Virginia,
9-5. Kyle Ruble was to take up the
heaving burden today, but if he weak
ened Shipley intended to call upon
one of his overworked hurlers.
Georgetown planned to depend on
Mike Petroskey or Hank Bertrand for
its fifth consecutive victory. The Hoyas
are undefeated in collegiate circles,
having bowed only to Washington's
Nationals, while Maryland has dropped
only one tilt—to Dartmouth by a
12-11 margin.
After Weidinger relieved Wood at
the beginning of the thu>d inning
Maryland whittled down Virginia's 3-1
lead. It tied the score by the end
of the third and jumped into a 6-4
lead in the fourth. Moe Egan, with
two hits, including a triple, in three'
appearances at the plate, paced the

WESTERN’S STOCK
IN BALL SERIES OP
/Veil-Rounded Team Figures
to Stay on Top—Beats
Roosevelt, 8-3.
WITH a rather smooth blend
of steady pitching and
solid hitting auguring well
for its future. Western to
day is perched atop the scholastic
series base ball heap and, unless it
collapses considerably, stands an ex
cellent chance of staying there.
Already having unveiled one twirler
who can last the route in BUI Bright,
a southpaw, Western yesterday tossed
the clean-cut Bob Rafterry, a right
hander, at Roosevelt and Bob came up
with a five-hit 8-3 victory, the Red
Raiders’ second in as many series
starts.
Cash in On Singles.
gACK of the pitching in each in
stance has been steady thumping,
however, with Johnny Alafoginas,
catcher, and Addie Lawyer, shortstop,
pacing the attack with five hits each
in nine trips to the plate thus far in
the series.
Western has the happy faculty of
coming through with a hit when men
are sprinkled around the bases, as
evidenced by those eight runs off seven
safeties.
As an Ulustration, let’s take West
ern's big inning, the third, when it
scored four runs to overcome Roose
velt’s two-run lead at that point. Raf
terry walked, and two outs were sand
wiched in between before Dickie Lyn
ham also grabbed a pass. Len Wein
stein then stepped up to the plate and
pumped a double to score both men.
Tom Saylor brought Weinstein home
with a circuit poke over the far right
field fence.
Raiders Field Well, Too.
rpHAT is typical of how Western has
been conducting itself at bat. The
Red Raiders all are hitting timely
blows and have given their pitchers
better than average scholastic support
afield.
Dick Conover, lanky southpaw,
hurled sporadically fine ball, but issued
too many walks. He started an early
batting rally which gave the Rough
Riders a brief lead, but immediately
tossed it away.
After Conover had singled to open
the third. Lagos doubled to send him
to third. Dick scored on a passed ball
and Lagos romped home on a neat
bunt by Wicklein. Western retaliated
doubly, however, and increased its
margin over the stretch.

CENTRAL IS TRAILER
IN TRIANGULAR MEET
Beaten Half Point as Relay Is
Taken by Washington-Lee.
G. W. High Third.
RAPTURING the final event of the
program, Washington-Lee High's
track team defeated Central by
the slim margin of one-half point
yesterday in a triangular meet at
Central Stadium. The Little Generals
scored 58'2 points to Central's 58.
while George Washington High of
Alexandria ran a poor third with 9!2
points.
With the outcome of the meet hing
ing on their respective performance,
Washington-'Lee’s crack mile relay
team, composed of Bassford, Choate,
Toulott and Milks, whipped Central’s
quartet of Servator, Hoadley, Jonscher
and Chacos, covering the distance in
3 minutes and 42 seconds.
Despite the defeat, Coach Pearce
was heartened considerably by the
showing of his Central cinder-pound
ers. Louis Chacos, who won the 220
yard dash and discus throw, looms as
a threat in the interhigh meet next

Maryland Hunt Cup Heads
Program Today—Sunday
Dates Filled.
SO CROWDED is the local sports
calendar with equestrian events i
today and during the next week
that apparently it will be diffi
cult for citizens to get around the
Maryland or Virginia countryside
without being stepped on by a horse.
Most important of all the immediate
prospects are the Maryland Hunt Cup.
which was to be run at 4 p.m. today
on the estate of J. W. Y. Martin in
Worthington Valley, Md., and the Vir
ginia Gold Cup Association races next
Saturday at the estate of Alexander
B. Hagner. near Warrenton.
Today those who do not wish to
tour all the way beyond Baltimore to
see the classic Maryland Hunt Cup
may console themselves with a Junior
Horse Show sponsored by the Landon
scnooi near tsetnesda, Md.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. the
Riding and Hunt Club will hold its
first point-to-point race, starting on
Freres Farm, near Potomac, Md.
Selection of a Sunday date for this
event, which is restricted to members
of the Riding and Hunt Club, indicates
the scarcity of open days for amateur
horse competitions around this sector.
The American Legion Horse Show.
»et for Sunday afternoon, May 2,
on the East-West Highway, is another
affair that was crowded into a Sunday
engagement by the powerful line-up
of Saturday attractions. Rather than
face the spirited competition of the
Virginia Gold Cup meeting, which
sports editors in Virginia voted the
most important and popular sporting
event of 1936, the American Legion
committee wisely decided to set its
annual exhibition on a Sabbath this
year.
The equestrian scene will by no
means become a blank after the 2d of
next month, however, for the impor
tant Washington Horse Show will run
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May
7, 8 and 9, and other contests are
slated in quick succession after that
one is ended.

Mile-and-Half Race Heads
Drake Program—Hosts
Score in Relay.
By the Associated Press.
DES MOINES. Iowa, April 24 —
Archie San Romani, the
genial little Kansas Italian,
and lour picked middle-dis
tance stars drew the spotlight at the
Drake relays today as the Midwest's
greatest track and field carnival swung
into its second day.
San Romani, heir apparent to the
mile crown worn by a fellow Kansan,
Glenn Cunningham, set his sights on
a new world mark for the mile and a
half in a race against the select
quintet.
He hoped not only to defeat the
sensational Texas Rideout twins,
Wayne and Blaine; Floyd Lochner of
Oklahoma, Jim Whitaker of Ohio
State, but also to wipe out the 12-year
old mark of 6:42.5 set by Paavo Nurmi,
the tireless Finn, in 1925.
Attack Leaping Records.
CHALLENGING San Romani for
the headline position on the all
star program were Cornelius Warmer
dam of Fresno State and A1 Haller of
Wisconsin, ambitious to dismantle the
Drake vault mark of 13 feet 11 inches;
Mel Walker of Ohio State and Ed
Burke of Marquette, hopeful of better
ing the 6 feet 6 inches mark in the
high Jump made by Harold Osborne
of Illinois in 1922, and Alton Terry,
the Olympic javelin tosser from the
Texas plains.
Drake University, the ho6t school,
conquered a 25-year jinx in the open
ing day events by winning a convincing
victory in the distance medley.
It was a little towhead named Bill
Feiler who stole the show for Drake.
After winning the 2-mile run, the
youngster, barely 5 feet 6 inches tall
and weighing little more than 125
pounds, ran a great anchor mile to
give the Bulldogs their first relay vic
tory since 1912.
Francis Keeps Title,
g HARING top honors with Feiler
were Sam Francis of Nebraska,
the husky Olympic star, who success
fully defended his discus championship
with a heave of 149.09 feet, and Mack
Robinson, ebony flash from the Pacific
Coast., who leaped 25 feet 5t.i inches
to win the broad jump. Robinson also
qualified for the 100-yard dash final
today.
Ohio State's crack Spring medley
quartet raced into the teeth of a 24
mile-an-hour wind to a a 3:27.9 mark.
The bounding Buckeyes finished half
a second above the national record.
Washington State romped into the
favorite’s position in the mile relay
by turning in a 3:165 race in the
preliminaries. The Far Westerners
were unextended and rated a good
chance to wipe out the Drake mark
of 3:15.9 established by the University
of California at Los Angeles in 1934.
ROSSLYN MAIDS OUT
FOR NATIONAL TITLE
Win From Orioles Would Assure
Series With Bridgeport for
High Pin Honors.
A VICTORY tonight for Galt
Davis’ Rosslyn team over the
Baltimore Recreation girls in a Ladies’
South Atlantic Intercity League match
practically would assure the Rosslyn
maids of meeting the Bridgeport club
for the national championship, in a
series of games that would be rolled
at Rosslyn and in Connecticut.
Tonight's three-game battle at
Rosslyn will start at 8 o’clock and
the two teams will renew hostilities
at the Recreation Center in Baltimore
! tomorrow at 2.
Two games behind the Virginians,
the Orioles—Noami Zimmerman,
Marie Bradley, Helen White, Alice
Lucas and Evelyn Brose—have their
eyes on the national title themselves.
Blanche Wootton, Evelyn Ellis,
Rena Levy, Lorraine Gulli and Lucy
Rose form the Rosslyn all-star outfit.
In a match at Richmond last w^k,
the Bill Haskins’ entry defeated the
Baltimore invaders two games with a
l,751-to-l,700 score.
