Next on the list Of Washington's
big bowling attractions Is the city
championship sweepstakes, which
will bring together probably score
of crack performers with a heavy
purse at stake. sa
Entries for the event will close
next Saturday night, with Howard
Campbell, of the King Pin, IN,
charge. Campbell is now co.
operating with the managers Of
several large establishments on the
question Of dates for the 4tournas
ment. ~ - - -
The event will be contested on
circuit In order to prevent ad.
vantages for the sO-called one
alley star. There are half .
dozen big-average bOwlers In
Washington who perform best
on certain drives.
Each contestant viii pay an entry
fee Of $25, the largest individual
fee In the history of bowling here.
The money will be pooled into fat
prize fund. A medal emblematic OF
the sweepstakes championship will
be awarded, too.
The sweepstakes viii take th6
place Of the individual matches held
last season with great success from
the standpoint Of developing inter.
est in competition among the ex-
perts. That it will be an event
popular with the fans in general il
taken for granted, in view Of the
interest they showed in last sea.
sons contests.
: Campbell plans to hold the
sweepstakes games only ON
Saturday nights. During other
nights the alleys are crowded by
league matches. A string Of
games will be rolled, probably
20, i'm five-game sets, total pins
to determine the winner.
Washington has never had an
open tournament of this type that
was important and it is expected
that Campbell's tournament will
become an annual fixture. This
style of competition is tremendous.
ly popular in other cities.
The challenge of Campbell and
Glenn Wolstenholme to shattle any
other pair in the country for q
here and Is calculated to arouse
centers, particularly in New Eng.
land and Brooklyn.
Were the stake less, 1t is prob
able that Campbell and Wolsten.
holme would not need to see far
for action. There are several
doubles combinations right here that
could make an interesting match
for Wolstenholme and Campbell,
but they may find it quite out Of
the question to get $1,000 worth
of backing.
The Brooklyn Washington match
did not conclude by any means
the intercity competition planned
for the Capital. Lines are being
laid for battles with Pittsburgh,
Boston, Baltimore and perhaps one
with some Connecticut team.
Which leads to the thought that an
intercity league some day will be
effected. =
Considerable interest IL being
taken in the performances OF
william Lewis, former PennsyI-
vania State pocket billiard
champion, who is appearing
this week at the King Pin
Annex.
Tonight Lewis will play Charles
Bartelmes and 1t is likely to be
tar more than an exhibition by
Lewis, who, besides playing a fine
game of pocket billiards, shows the
boys a thing or two in the line of
trick shots. In fact, his forte h
the trick stuff.
Lewis made his debut at the
King Pin against Eddie Henry and
the Washington youth made it
tough for him. The visitor had to
hustle to win, 125 to 90.

Therefore, McGraw's invitation TO

to do what he doesn't do himself
and yet the time may be not too

less initiative. less individuality on
the Giants than on any bah club

And Hornsby always has been
that kind of a ball player and, in
truth, that kind OF a manager. His
system with the Cardinals last
gear was to tell the men to think
on their feet and let it go at that.
"YOu are major league ball

McGraw insists on doing all the

! WASHINGTON. = Silk Stockings
and cigars are two principal factors
in one problem of international re-
| Iations which the American people
seem to know little about.
The two nations who are parties
! to this momentous bit OF dickerlng
are Cuba and the United States.
There is no danger Of a war, ol
course, but just the same there is ar
issue" and diplomats love issues.
The question was formerly, Shall
the Cuban flapper have inexpensive
silk stockings, or shall she not?" II
was settled amicably and the brown
legs of the senoritas may now be
made as sheer and shiny as those OF
her American cousin at just about
the same price.
That was that, but events came to
pass, and one thing led to another
till the issue is now stated in these
terms:
eff the Cuban flapper has cheap
silk stockings, why shouldn't your old
man and my old man have cheap
cigars?"
Your correspondent owes his infor-
nation on this burning question to
delegates to the third American
commercial conference in Washing
ton. The United States and Cuba
some time ago negotiated a parcel
post convention to extend some of the
benefits of the great parcel post sys-
TEN to the smaller republic. Today
we send almost everything to Cuba
by parcel post except automobiles
and apartment houses, which are too
large.
The small Cuban merchant is able
to buy gross or two of silk stock
ings, the principal item of Cuban
bound parcel post traffic, and sell
them at moderate prices. If he we're
to depend on freight consignment,
prices would have to go up. Cuba is
foreign country and the smallest
possible freight shipment costs SIS
by the time all the charges are added.
Works But One Way.
So far so good, but tobacco isn't
included among mailable commodities.
The Cuban merchant can eliminate
the middleman in ordering silk stock
ings, but the American small mer-
chant or big consumer can't do as
much in ordering Cuban cigars, and
the Cuban idea is that the whole
plan should work both ways.
The department of commerce seems
to side with the Cubans.
1t is also to be gathered that the
commerce department sympathizeS
with the Argentine meat barons, whose

beef is barred from this country
through fear of the hoof and mouth
disease. Most of the Argentine dele
gates were incensed about the beef
ban. The commerce department is
opposed to the hoof and mouth dis
ease, but it rather regards as brusQue
and undiplomatic the action of the
department of agriculture in sudden
ly barring the Argentine beef with
out any preliminary salve or warn
ing. The annual Argentine beef ship
ments to the United States were only
100000 pounds, SO the ban wasn't d
catastrophe, but that is only very
small fraction of what Argentina sells
to Great Britain and the Argentine
is worrying lest Britain take a tip
from the United States.
