I I Arcadia Maid Shoots 405 With Help of 52 Franked Pins Bowlers and Alley Men Will Contribute to Christmas Fund By ROD THOMAS. Alice Cole of the B. Y. P. U. League stood to collect one prize and share another in the annual Eve ning Star yuletide bowling tourna ment. Shooting with the Petworth Church team at the Arcadia Miss Cole rolled 160 for the highest game recorded by a woman in the qualifi cation round in which virtually all the organized bowlers in the city competed. It ended yesterday. Returns from the preliminary are incomplete, but Miss Cole’s 160 seems certain to win the $20 prize that goes with top game. With a handicap of 52, she totaled 403 for three strings and equaled the score of Mary Brown, achieved with a 42 stick handicap in the American Mixed League at the Georgetown Recreation. If a check reveals none higher. Miss Cole and Miss Brown will split a prize of $25. Busy Time for Alley Men. Bowling alley managers, having just finished the biggest clerical job in the history of the sport here, in the tabulation of scores, today were busy making out schedules for quali fiers who will roll next week for the bulk of the prize money of nearly $1,000. Twenty-five per cent ot those who competed at each establish ment are eligible. The alley men also were busy ; helping Santa Claus, a campaign having been started today to boost The Star's Christmas Heart Fund with contributions from bowlers' and bowling promoters. The alley men will turn in a nickel for every person who competes in The Star tournament rolloff. This figures to net a considerable sum, but the alley men hope to up the sport’s contribution substantially with gifts from the bowlers. One man ager said he would ask each of the participants in his section of the rolloff to match his nickel Durkpinnrrs Generous. Bowlers always have been gen erous to benevolent causes. It will be remembered that during the Mid western flood crisis several years ago they kicked in with nearly $1,800 for The Star Red Cross fund, and they did it in a hurry, many of the leagues giving one evening’s prize money and all of the alley owners contributing either $50 or $25. Arville Ebersole, secretary of the Washington City Duckpin Associa tion and treasurer of The Star tour nament, will handle the bowlers’ Christmas fund. His office is in the Evans Building and his home ad dress is 616 M street N.E. Alley managers are requested to send their roll-off schedules to the writer for publication. The big scramble will open next Wednesday and continue throughout the week. From the Press Box Here Is One More Poll, Adrift on High C's By JOHN LARDNER, Special Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, Dec. 18 (N.A.N.A.), —Pending a final check of the re sults of our official unassociated poll on "the 10 best-dressed left-handed woman athletes of 1939"—without which, where are you?—we hereby list the outcome of our poll on "the 10 best athletes whose names be ‘ gin with C” No unassociated poll is more sig nificant. than this one. It comes in six shades—peach, blush pink, Nile green, Egyptian sand, dirty blue and early yellow. It represents the vote of 456 sports editors. all of them familiar with the rudiments of Eng lish, but not too familiar in other respects, if you know what I mean. Briefly, these boys can be trusted, and frequently have been. The payoff is 10 points for first place. $6.40 for place and $3.60 for show. Man Can't Raise Head If Not in Poll. A man hardly can raise his head In his own town if he ain't been polled in this poll. On the other hand statistics show that eight out of 10 sports editors can t raise their heads anyway without a strong ef fort, and when they do you are tempted to ask yourself "Was it worth it?” There is no answer to this question. The results of this year's poll are very interesting. To relieve the sus pense here are the 10 leading ath letes whose names, begin with C for 1939. Any man or beast whose name began with C prior to 1932. the year of the great bend, is eligible: George Cafego—116. Challedon—115. Eddie Collins—98. Nile Kinnick—72. Patrick Edward Comiskey—57. C-Biscuit—43. Billy Conn—35. Harry Craft—29.7. Hugh Casey—18. Henry Cotton—2. v,aiego. tne au-everytning irom Tennessee, shows appreciable prog ress since 1914, when he was un ranked. unborn and unscored on. Every time they handed this tough back the ball he gained 1 or more yards, which is great going in any man s league. They tell a very droil story of Cafego in the Alabama game. I would like to print it, but I haven't got space. Challedon was in there punching nil the time. They tell a very funny story about Challedon. which I would print if I could remember it. I've got plenty of space. The high vote for Eddie Collins Is very encouraging. One of these days Eddie is going to get the recog nition he deserves. One sports edi tor speaks from the heart when he says, in the course of a warm tribute, “Boy, how he could play that out field!” The fellow is thinking of Tv Cobb, whose name also begins with C, but it's not the words so much in a case like this as the spirit behind them. 72 Sports Editors Spell Kinnick With C. Nile Kinnick is a good example of the trouble you run up against in these unassociated polls. When you consider that 72 sports editors thought Kinnick s last name began i with C, you wonder why they shot William the Second of England (not ' the Conqueror, but the Conqueror's son). Patrick Edward Comiskev was in there punching all the time. Nothing remains to be said about C-biscuit. He said it for himself out there on that old race track. (Say, Miss Jones, is that the way you spell that horse's name?) Billy Conn came along like a house afire in 1939, jumping from eighth place to seventh at a single bound. And Billy deserved every bit of it. No quieter, more unassuming spalpeen ever saddled a winner. Keep up the good work. Billy! Harry Craft was in there punch ing all the time. Speaking of Hugh Casey, a sports editor writes: "Though the Boston Bees finished seventh ill the Na tional League, Casey was very pa tient with his young pitchers.” I don't think he knows what he's talking about. When the poll was over we were minus two votes, so we gave them both to Henry Cotton. He was in there punching all the time. Pilot Aims to Speed Conn's Start in Dudas Fight B? the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, Dec. 18.—Billy Conn, champ of the light-heavies, will start training soon for his 10 round go with Heavyweight Steve Dudas in New York, January 10. Johnny Ray, Conn’s manager, said today. The match was announced by Promoter Mike Jacobs Saturday,! the day after Dudas smacked down an up-and-coming fellow New Jer eeyan. Pat comiskey. Conn Needs Faster Start. Ray indicated he will concentrate on trying to get Conn to start ploughing in from the opening gong. The Irishman has a habit of letting the first few rounds go—he can’t explain why. ‘Td feel better about it if this were a 15-round bout for Billy, but It’s not, and I guess he’ll just have to get started fast, that’s all,” Ray Bald. Ray looks upon Dudas as “a smart fellow, rather slow and he doesn’t punch hard enough to bother Conn.” Both Conn and Ray are anxious for a bout with Heavyweightt King Joe Louis. Looks for Weight Gain. "By next summer Billy should weigh around 185-190 pounds,” the manager said. ‘‘That’s good enough for Louis. And even at that weight Billy will be the fastest heavyweight to step into the ring since Corbett.” Billy snow scales around 171 after hard training. His only appearance in the heavy weight division so far was against Gus Dorazio, who he stopped at eight rounds in Philadelphia. i i Skins Reserving For '40 Season The Washington Redskins an nounced today that applications for 1940 season tickets now are in order. No down payment is required, with the eventual price depending on whether the Red skins play six or seven home games. Half again as many season tickets were sold this year as last, when the number was three times as great as were sold in 1937. Spare Hit in Final-Frame Pinch Earns Blanche Wootten Top Davis Sweepstakes Prize Distinguished today as the fifth woman bowler ever to win the Meyer Davis Sweepstakes, oldest of all fem inine money duckpin tournaments, Blanche Wootton, the Rosslyn star, moved a step nearer her goal as one of the country's first 10 ranked wom an duckpinners. a spot she relin quished two years ago. Miss Wootton won in the 12th annual tournament last night at Lucky Strike with a 10-game score of 1,191, which nosed out by four pins Lorraine Gulli, eight times the winner of the exclusive Washington bowling event. OfT to a great start as she flashed to the front with a first game of 133, the comely Rosslyn team leadoff roller counted top set of the tour nament to lead the afternoon block with a 5-game score of 626. Her closest rivals were Lucile Young in second place with 593 and Miss Gulli in third place with 587. Road Rough Near Finish. When the final game rolled around, Blanche needed a game of 107 to win by one pin over Lorraine, who had turned a brilliant final block effort of 600 for a 10-game score of 1.187. Lucv Rose, the Ross lyn bowling teacher and Blanche's teammate, had clinched third place with a nifty finish. After a 554 first block score, Mrs. Rose turned on the heat in the windup for a rous ing 625 and 1,179. Blanche swung into the final game with a spare in her first frame. Counting six pins on the mark she reached the eighth frame needing 28 sticks for the necessary 107 count and victory. But she chopped out only six pins in the eighth. A mark now was necessary for her to win Down went nine pins on the first ball in the ninth frame. She missed for the spare, but got the pin on her third roll. Fights for Needed Spare. Blanche heaved . her first shot straight into the poicket in the final frame and down went nine pins, leaving No. 5 standing in the middle of the alley. Jumping the ball-return railing, Blanche dashed to a bench several alleys away and put her hands to her face, exclaiming, “I don't want to shoot at it.” But she did, and made it. And followed with a 5-pin rolloff. The first three places were worth (35. $20 and $10. Stimmy Hart, a southpaw of Chevy Chase Ice Palace, rolled a game of 165, a tournament record. Pierce Bows, but Wins Table Tennis Cup Although he lost last night's com petition, Bill Pierce was in posses sion of the Stanley Fields Trophy Cup today as reward for winning the Chevy Chase Ice Palace table tennis tournament with a total of 29 points. Lou Gorin was second with 27 points and Jules Bernard third with 25 points. Jim Limerick, an outsider, upset the champion last night, 19 to 21, 21 to 19, 22 to 20. However, Pierce had done his winning during past weeks and opponents were unable to overcome his lead despite his final loss. Official American League Batting Averages, 7939 STANDING OF CLIBS.

Alumni Bruised After 41-31 Loss To Card Quint Catholic University alumni ac tivities have been abruptly curtailed indefinitely pending the recovering of a large group of “old boys” who bravely faced “Fod” Cotton s varsity tossers yesterday—and lost, 41-31. It was not a bad showing the alumni made in the first half, during which they led the varsity, 12-8, but the bogey of mounting years, soft living, non-training and less prac tice overtook them in the second and they staggered home a beaten team. Charley horses, aching backs and a variety of other ailments, all not strictly attributable to the game, plagued the boys today, but the dis grace of losing probably is more painful than their physical discom fiture. Bob McVean paced alumni scoring with 10 points, while Joe Carrig. with nine, led the varsity. Sachon and Carrig, forwards: Carmen Pirro, center; Johnny White and Gene Daly comprised the starting varsity line-up. Eddie White, Bernie Lieb, Gene Augusterfer, Bingo Flynn, Dick Galliher, Abe Rosenfield and Johnny Jankowski rounded out the alumni forces.
