“DUB” DUCKPIN STAKES OPEN AT LUCKY STRIKE MARCH 10
LARGE FIELD
' ID VIE FOR
HONORS
| By GINO SIMI
’ All things come to him who
Waits.
Dub bowlers who have been
Eitting patiently and uncomplain
ingly on the sidelines cheering
the stars as they battled for
honors in the big sweepstakes
■will get their chance to sparkle
early next month and they are
expected to turn out in droves.
Their chance will be the fifth
annual Bill Wood Dub Sweep
stakes, as popular and well-estab
lished in its particular sphere as
the Howard Campbell and Dixie
Sweepstakes in theirs.
The first block of this test will
get under way at the Lucky
Strike, on Friday, March 10, the
day before the Washington Times
Atlantic Coast doubles, the major
doubles event of the year, which
will also open at the Lucky
Strike.
J. William Wood, smart and af
fable major domo of the Meyer
Davis bowling interests, is the mov
ing spirit in providing the “dubs”
with their big annual chance.
Over 100 Entries
All previous four runnings have
drawn better than 100 entries.
The high water mark was reached
two years ago when more than 163
took part in it.
The event is limited strictly to
bowlers whose average in any
league for 15 games or more is
not over 107 on March 4.
To further assure that only real,
honest-to-goodness “dubs” will
shoot, the committee reserves the
right to reject the entry of anyone
it considers better than a 107
shooter even though his averages
should place him in that class.
Staging the event on successive
Fridays is something of an inno
vation. Experiments conducted
during the four previous sweep
stakes proved that a sweepstakes
must be held on one night to be
completely successful.
Fridays Preferred
Furthermore, Wood found out
that the “dubs” prefer to pll
on Fridays so that they can be
free on Saturday nights to wit
ness events in which stars par
ticipate. And so Bill has ar
ranged all three blocks on suc
cessive Friday nights.
The entry is $5 plus cost of
games, the same as in the past.
Entries are being accepted at
Lucky Strike and King Pin.
The District Government League
All-Stars are ambitious as all
get-out. They are seeking inter
city matches with Baltimore,
Richmond, Martinsburg and An
napolis teams. The All-Stars’
line-up includes Charley Bern
hardt, Hub Steele, Jack Mooney,
Frank Xanten and Frank Geuth
ler. Communications should be
addressed to Bernhardt, at the
Arcadia.
In the meantime, Fire Depart
taent, one of the District Govern
ment League leaders, is angling
for a match with a crack local
team. The team includes Mooney,
Claggett, Barnes and Watt.
Entries for National Duckpin
tßowling Congress annual tourna
ment, scheduled for Hartford,
Conn., March 21, will close Sat
urday at midnight, George L. Ise
mann, national secertary, warns
local bowlers.
Those seeking special reserva
tions are urged to turn in their
entries right away.
SAINTS SCORE
St. Martin’s basketers won a
tiard-fought game from the Brooks
five last night, 15 to 11. The game
was featured by great guarding.

LEFTY PINMEN
MAYROLL
Two southpaws may toe the
foul line when The Washington
Times Atlantic Coast duckpin
doubles opens at the Lucky Strike
March 11.
Ed Schlegel, Georgetown’s lead
ing portside pin-walloper, and
Larry Fitzgerald, who recently
regained his District left-handed
crown, are the two forkhanders
1 in question.
There is also a possibility that
Bob Shanklin and Ollie Webb,
1 another pair of “wrongsiders”
' who are turning in brilliant per
formances consistently, may take
a shot in the big test.
Both of these portside combi
nations enjoy a wide reputation
: as special event rollers. Schlegel
has always been a “tough
. hombre” in open matches. Fitz
gerald proved his class in rewin
, ning his lost laurels the other
day. Webb, a veteran of many
years, can point to many superb
achievements, and Shanklin is
improving with every new ap
pearance.
Lonnie Krauss and Al Work
would be another potent south
paw combination. Lonnie has
finished in the money in all four
Southpaw Sweepstakes, and Al,
once Washington’s leading maple
spiller, is still a hard man to
beat.
Harry Aiken, George Morrison,
Hymie Schecter, “Red” Rhodes
and Bob Lee are still other
“lefties” who can take care of
themselves against any field.
Jennie Egan’s 152 game featured
as Shamrocks rolled an all-time
Washington Ladies League record
game of 617 last night. Evelyn
Ream and Marie Whelan also
helped out plenty with games of
136 and 133, respectively. Bron
son Quaites grabbed high set
honors with a 349.
Other stand-out scores were
Eddie Keith’s 391 set in the Co
lumbia Heights League, Louie
Chipouras’ 374 set and Berry
Wright’s 156 game is in the King
Pin loop: Ed Maloney’s 159 game,
a Washington Post League record,
and 361 set; Abrams’ 355 in the
Washington Herald League,: Edith
Orpin’s 304 set and Crouch’s 112
in the Internal Revenue Ladies
League and Leoneberger’s 108 in
the Ladies Lutheran wheel; Char
ley Phillips’ 363 in the Masonic
circuit, and Orville Brown’s 153
game and Clyde Douglas’ 378 set
in the East Washington Church
League.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Ryder Cup Golf
Choices Meet
Approval
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON
The selection of the United
i States Ryder Cup golf team
which goes abroad this June to
match strokes with Britain’s pros
met with general support of the
District paid clan.
Few could find any fault with
the choices and all praised the
decision to leave one place vacant
in case any “dark horse” rears
up to create a stir in the few re
maining winter tournaments or
the national open which starts
June 8 at the North Shore Coun
try Club in Chicago.
Idea for Amateurs
It might be a good idea for the
United States Golf Association to
follow the same course in choos
ing the 1933 U. S. Walker Cup
team, which invades England
next summer for the bi-annual
amateur series.
Last year, it will be recalled,
the amateur chieftains named
their team months in advance of
the competition and there was
general dissatisfaction because
Johnny Goodman and Gus More
land were overlooked. The com
plaints chiefly arose from the
home sectors of these lads, the
Middle West and Southwest. Os
course, Moreland was summoned
after capturing the Western ama
teur, taking the place of one of
the original nominees who had
been taken ill.
Goodman Again
Goodman, too, would probably
have been appointed had the na
tional amateur championship
taken place in the spring instead
of September. Even at that,
Goodman’s consistent’play in the
last few years deserved an as-
I signment on the Walker Cup
team, but the amateur-minded
golf fathers treat Goodman as a
, cancerous subject for reasons
known only to themselves.
Peace reigns today at the In
dian Spring Club after the instal
lation of a new slate into office
at last night’s meeting, c. Ches
ter Caywood was returned to the
presidency and his brother offi
cers will be Forrest Thompson,
vice-president; J. V. Brownell, sec
retary, and W. M. Smith, treas
urer. The new board of govern
ors includes Tom Belshe, Joseph
Cissell, H. N. Graves, F. J. Ken
nedy, George O. Schweinhaut, E
D. Wagner and W. R. Winslow.
Dr. Larry S. Otell was ap
. pointed captain of the men’s
1 team with Betty Palmer Meckley
captain of the women’s squad.
for the first ten days in camp. Coach Al Schacht is
here shown missing the ball for whatever clowning
effect he can get out of the players and bystanders.

KAYOES 5 PIG E
FIGTIG CARD
There weren’t many sleepy fistic
fans hereabouts today because
last night’s program in Portner’s
Arena in Alexandria, Va., was
completed in less than one hour,
thanks to four knockouts. Thus
most of the onlookers were abed
early.
Jack Lamar, Cleveland feather
weight, stowed away Young Fitz
simmons with a right-hander
after 45 minutes of the first round
of the initial bout. Then came
Billy Strickler, local middleweight,
and Lee Broussard. Newport News,
with the latter taking the count
after one minute and 33 seconds
of the first round.
Eddie Compton, bantam, scored
a technical kayo over Pete Powell
when the latter was unable to
come out for the sixth and final
round. Red Journee, a handy
welterweight out of Newport
News, furnished the fans with
the real surprise by rocking Lloyd
Phelps to sleep in less than one
minute of the first round.
Bob Tow, weighing 189 pounds
and giving away 16 pounds, out
pointed Ed Prante, Marine heavy
weight. in the eight-round head
liner, which was the only match
that lasted the scheduled dis
tance. It was Tow’s first fight
since hearing the birdies whistle
coyly the night he tangled with
Joe Knight at Twin City arena
last summer.
Last Night’s Fights
At Los Angeles—Fred Miller,
Cincinnati, retained worhd feather
weight title as recognized by

Daily
Singles, Doubles
Berth Quested
Today
By GEORGE T. DAVIS
LOS ANGELES, March I.—Ells
worth Vines wants to play both
singles and doubles in the Davis
cup campaign this year and allow
the responsibility of regaining this
coveted tennis trophy to rest en
tirely upon his own shoulders.
“It may sound too ambitious,
but I think that I can niay in
both singles and doubles when
we challenge for the Davis cup,”
said Vines today, following his
return from a “honeymoon” ten
nis invasion of Australia and
New Zealand.
“I would like to pair with
Keith Gledhill, my partner in
winning the national doubles
title, and I think we would have
a mighty good chance. Gledhill
now is playing great tennis,
while Johnny Van Ryn, who
paired with Elmer Allison in
former Davis cup doubles play,
is far below par,” the American
and Wimbledon tennis cham
pion asserted.
Best Singles
Asked as to the best singles
combination, Vines admitted that
he “hoped” to win one of the as
signments and that either Allison
or Clifford Sutter appeared the
best choice for the other berth.
“While it is harder to chal
lenge than defend the cup,”
commented the tall Pasadena
youth, “I think that America
has a better chance to win
than a year ago. If we reach
the challenge round against
France—and that’s going to be
a hard task in itself—we will
be more formidable than in
1932.
LOST CONFIDENCE
“Henri Cochet, French star,
has lost some of the confidence
that made him tho greatest
player in the world a few years,
ago. Jean Borotra is attending
more to business than tennis,
but can rise to an occasion—
as I well remember when he
beat me last year.”
Anticipating a hard campaign
this summer, Vines now plans to
rest at home for nearly two
months before playing any seri
ous tennis. He looks tired from
his three-month trip to the ‘land
down under.”

INAUGURAL GUN
EVENT FRIDAY
An Inaugural event of sporting
importance will be staged by the
Washington Gun Club as part of
the Capital City’s inaugural en
tertainment. On Friday, March
3, the club will give a registered
tournament, with a 1933 Chev
rolet automobile as the first
prize. A number of other valua
ble prizes also will be awarded
on the program.
The shoot is conducted on the
distance-handicap system, in
which the contestants stand at
distances of from 16 to 25 yards
from the traps which release
the targets, the yardage of each
shooter being determined by his
registered average and known
ability, both at 16-yard and han
dicap targets.
A number of trapshooters of
national reputation have commu
nicated with President Parker
Cook and Secretary Morgan, ex

ton Gun Club are among the
most attractive in the East, with
a fine clubhouse, low trap-houses
and a sky background, so that
the shooters have an unimpeded
view of the whirling discs as
they are thrown at unknown
angles from the four traps.
The club grounds adjoin the
plant of the Potomac Electric

English Lass Takes
Florida Golf Medal
ST. AUGtJSTINE, Fla., March
I.—Miss Kathleen Garnham, of
England, carded 38-43 —81, to cap
ture qualifying honors in the an
nual Florida East Coast women’s
golf championship in the face of
high winds. Maureen Orcutt, de
fending champion, and Mrs.
Stewart Hanley, Detroit, tied for
second with 84 each.
Miss Diana Fishwick, England;
Miss Frances Williams, Philadel

fiers.
Mat Torture
Promised by
Grobmier
Fred Grobmier’s latest tortur
ing specialty, known to the wrest
ling gentry as a “Japanese frog
scissors,” tomorrow night meets
the severest test yet accorded it
here.
In a finish bout at Washing
ton Auditorium the lanky lowan
will exert his leg pressure against
a popular and sensational worker
in Frank Judson.
Tough Opponent
Master of a wrist-lock that has
scored many an upset here, Jud
son unquestionably is the most
formidable opponent pitted
against Grobmier since his recent
return to the District.
Atop of his performances
against Ray Steele. Rudy Dusek
and champion Jim Londos, many
concede the one time Harvard mat
coach an excellent opportunity of
upsetting Grobmier.
Unusually Popular
These are two of the best liked
matmen ever pitted against one
another locally, both Frank and
Fred having earned themselves
large followings here.
Semi-finaling over a 45-minute
route will be Jim Clinstock, hefty
Indian, and clever Paul Jones,
hook-scissors manipulator.
“Tiger” Nelson is routed against
Floyd Marshall and Rudy Dusek
against George Kotsonaros in 30-
minute subjects closed thus far.
Another will be announced today.
