A new low-price record for the

when the decline previously this
week amounted TO moer than &c,
equivalent to a loss OF more than
500 a car.
The collapse Of the market has ap-

n small group Of traders accepted de-

than they could finance. An exccp-

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

The United States Golf Association
today announced the dates for its
annual meeting as January As. Green
section meetings will be held morning
and afternoon January and on the
morning of January 5. The general
meeting of the entire association will
be called to order at noon January
by Melvin A. Traylor. the retiring
president, who is scheduled to be sue
ceeded by Findlay S. Douglas.
All is quiet along the golf front. No
disturbing questions of rules or eligi-
bility interrupt the placid course OF
golf administration this year. Not even
the matter of choosing a Walker Cup
team will come up, for that bi-yearly
matter has been attended to, to the
satisfaction of America.
Doubtless the intriguing business OF
discussing a change in the golf ball
will arise, even though the manufac-
turers try to hush it up. but even that
is not yet ready for decision. At long
range it looks quiet meeting.
John C. Shorey may be shorn of his
District junior championship as an
outcome of a meeting of the executive
committee of the District Golf Associa-
ton called for Thursday night at the
office of the president, c. Chester Cay
wood of Indian Spring Golf Club.
Shorey was declared the victor in the
tourney played at Indian Spring Sep
tember Z last, but certain incidents that
arose in connection with his play in the
last round were made the subject of an
exhaustive report by j. Monro Hunter.
Indian Spring professional, who ran

the tourney in the absence Of golf as
Sociation officials
Shorey's cards were 78 and rs, giving
him the title by a two-Stroke margin
over the 78 and n turned in by Karl
F. Kellerman, jr., of Columbia, VINO
for the fifth successive year occupied
the runner-up position.
With Shorey as playing partners over
the last round were James G. Drain
and Roger Peacock, respectively, mem
bers of washington and Indian Spring
Clubs. Two other witnesses, in addi-
ton to Hunter, we're said to have seen
the alleged infractions Of the rules OF
golf One of the infractions involved
removing obstacles on the putting green
not in the line of the ball, and another
involved the charge that Shorey had
pressed down grass behind his ball in
involve penalties which if upheld would
give Kellerman the title.
Hunter was empowered by the asso-
citation to enforce the rules and manage
the tournament, but in the absence OF
any Golf Association officials, did not
feel it his duty to disqualify the con-
testant, or to charge him with three
violations of the medal play rules.
Shortly after the tourney was COM
pleted, Hunter wrote full report of the
affair to the District Golf Association,
which will be considered at the meeting,
together with statements of other wit
nesses. Shorey is expected to appear
in his own behalf.
Members of the executive committee
are G. Chester Caywood, DR.. William G.
Barr. Middleton Beaman, Albert z.
Steinem and Dr. Bruce l.. Taylor.

MARYLAND WOMEN
SEEK DRIVE PRIZES
Ready to Challenge Claim
of D. c. Girls to Lead in
Bowling Game.

~ UT in Prince Georges County
the bowlers are whooping it
~ every night at Mount Rainier,
Hyattsville and Laurel and
they'll be on the drives in force at the
Lucky Strike when The Evening Star
individual championship tournament is
rolled December 26-29 and January Us.
They're all enthused by the prospect of
shooting for the fine prizes that will
be at stake then
That's quite true of the fair bowlers
of Hyattsville and vicinity. The girls
out that way like their bowling game
and they like The Star tournament
even better What's more. they have
ideas concerning their ability to topple
the little naples. They believe the
Washington women have no edge over
them when it comes to socking the
duckpins, and are more than eager to
compete with the feminine bowlers OF
this CITY,.
No quarter will be asked. Nor will
any mercy be shown. It'll be every
woman for herself when HyattSville and
Washington clash on the drives. Watch
the pins fly then These Hyattsville
bowlers mean what they say, too.
In all likelihood, the majority of the
out-of- town bowlers-both men and
women-will do their shooting in The
Evening Star tournament on one night
of the event. There will be enough en-
tries from the neighboring counties of
Maryland and Virginia to make a big
night of Suburban night, too. Or may
be it might be better to designate their
night in some other way. Some of the
folks in the counties hereabout are
rather touchy about having their towns
called suburbs of Washington. They
are real towns according to them and
quite able to stand on their own. And
there's something to that. @
just imagine calling Alexandria
suburb of Washington, for instance.
Why Alexandria was a city when this
present grand National Capital was
nothing but fine hunting ground for
the Red Man. 1t was hourishing
municipality in the days of George
Washington's youth and is a f1ourishing
municipality today. And it has its fair
share of bowlers, too. From what is
heard from the town, Alexandria will
have its fair share Of bowlers in The
Star tourney. They have good bowlers
over the river, SO look out, you city
slickers.
And while speaking of Alexandria, one
must not overlook other sections of
nearby Virginia. They have some
sharpshooters in Clarendon, Cherrydale,
Fort Myer Heights, Ballston, Mclean,
Fairfax and even as far away as Lees
burg. Yes, indeed, there are at Leash a
dozen good bowlers in Leesburg. Lou
doun County knows its bowling game
and likes it, too. So Washingtonians
in The Star tourney must be prepared
to run into some pretty good competi-
ton provided by their neighbors.
Which will be all the better, for after
all the tournament is as much for the
game as for the individual. The great
aim of the tournament is to promote
the sport of duckpin bowling here. Lend
hand, you bowlers. It's for your own
good.

HARTWELL PROVES

wood chopper, today was one step
nearer the realization of his ambition

There are a number of others, how

Spaniard probably will encounter much
more formidable opposition in Tex Rick

Hartwell gave him in their 10-rouEd
bout at the arena last night.
Although Uzcudun gained wide mar

everything and came back for more.
The Spaniard hammered his opponent
