Bowling Bug" asks: "Is Glenn
Wolstenholme q better bowler than
Max Rosenbergf"
Each has an average Of 115 and
a fraction in the District League.
Wolstenholme has been trifle
more consistently brilliant in inter-
city matches, but Rosenberg in this
severe competition has rolled the
best: single set-649 (five games0
It is the opinion of some authori.
ties that Rosenberg is the greatest
"head-to-head" bowler Washington
ever has had. Others believe VOL
stenhOlme is his equal at this style,
'head-to-head" meaning nothing
more than one bowler opposing an
other with the pair using two alleys.
''I1ead-to-head" bowling produces
better scores than team play, for
the reason that in ''head-to-head"
shooting the bowler's arm never be-
comes ''cold" as when awaiting his
turn with a team, and he has a con-
stant gauge on the headpin. Rec
ords have been made at this style
Of bowling that would be sunthought-.
Of In league play.,s Such records
have been made by both Wolsten-
holne and Rosenberg.
Both have iron nerve and each
shoots a ball that works well on
fast or slow alleys.
If 1t were necessary to make a
choice between the two; one could
not go far wrong by tossing q, coin.
They have been named on every all
star team selected in Washington in
the last two years, with never an
argument against either
So much for Wolstenholme and
Rosenberg, a great pair. A warm
argument could be started by call

Despite the fact that Dempsey

VIII Not Manage Dempsey If
Champion Plays Return
With Gibbons
By DAVIS J. WALSH,
1srnasiOnaI News Service sports Editor

International News Service Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Regard-
less of whether his retirement is
on the plumb-bob level or is
merely an expression Of the pre-
vailing mode in cauliflower ears,
Jack Dempsey has fought his last
battle under the, management of
Jack Kearns.
This statement was made to-
day, by way of confirmation. Of
The reported estrangement be-
tween the pair, by man dis
tinctly on the ttinside" of nearly
every big bout in this country.
ssrhat part of the thing is 'in.'"
he declared. "You can bet your
last cent on it. Unless something
a done to bring them together
Dempsey and Kearns will go their
separate ways from now on. =
He then went on to elaborate
upon his statement by telling Of an
Incident that occurred when the
champion and his manager We're
last in the East. Dempsey. he said,
was on his way past famous res
taurant in town when one Of his
party suggested going inside.
"Kearns is in there" he explained.
Tie champions reply was to
turn on his heel and walk I'm the
OnDOsite direction, after airing
few unflattering remarks about
lfhls manager, according to the
story. It Is not believed that the
gesture was the result OF pass
Ing grievance. Dempsey is not
given TO showing his resentment
over trivial or temporary 6iffer-
ences with members of his official
family.
Further significance is given the
statement by the tone Of Dempsey's
recent announcement Of his with
drawal from the ring. On that
occasion he made reference TO
Kearns as merely q business part
ner. never a friend. That remark
came as q shock to those who have
Of nearly ten years standing.
Furthermore. no retraction fol-
lowed the implied slight. Dempsey
later saw fit to repudiate his de-
cision in part, by suggesting that
ne might make one more appear
ance in the ring, but he said
nothing about Kearns nor did their
stories bear the slightest suggestion
OF team work. While Dempsey was
formally declaring himself for the
simple life, Kearns steadfastly
maintained that the thing was
bunk" Their respective statements
hardly smacked Of mutual under
standing. r.
II Dempsey's retirement was
merely a publicity dodge, Kearns
would have been ''yessing" him
yet.
Then, also, there Is the report
Of their hotel property in Los
Angeles being up for sale. Neither
Of them Is in immediate need Of
money, therefore the action in
question Is interpreted as q de-
sire TO divorce their interests.
The further fact that Kearns Is
said to be negotiating for another
unpunched meal ticket in the per-
son Of Mickey Walker, welterweight
champion. adds color to the estrange-
ment story. Kearns has been after
Walker for sometime but the latter
would have none OF it because he
cared nothing about running second
20 Dempsey in managerial esteem.
II Walker really signs up witt
Kearns, as he is supposed to do
within a matter Of weeks, the in
ference is broad that the Dempsey
Kearns combination is no more.

New York, March 1o. - Finland sends another of it's great athletes into the scramble for American jn- door track records tonight in the person of Willie Kyronen, a figure not unfamiliar to Americans.

 Ritoa goes into this competition without the sign of taint as he was cleared and reinstated after explain ing matters to the New England registration committee in Boston yesterday. Recently he drew sus- pension for his failure to appear at an American league meet in the Bay State capital.
 The mark of IS minutes, 58 2-5 seconds for 8 IA miles established by Ritola at Cleveland Tuesday night stands ss the indoor record but fail- cd to approach tho 1888 which he registered on an indoor cinder track at the Philadelphia College of Os- teopathy meet g. few weeks ago.

 The New England registration committee. after hearing Ritola and his manager Hugo Quist, last night lifted the suspension and adopted q resolution criticising the action of the national officials in ordering q telegrsphic poll of the national reg istration committee on the status of the Finn.
