MAY ADOPT GROUP
. PLAN FOR ROLLERS
Squads of Five Suggested
for Scheduling in The
Star Tournament.

~ ROUP bowling instead of indi-
vidual bowling may be in order
in The Evening Star tndi-
~ vidual duckpin championship
tournament to be held on the
Lucky Strike drives December 1923 and
January 2-5.. Instead of assigning two
bowlerS to a brace of alleys and sched-
uling several shifts of contestants each
night, plan assigning two squads Of
five bowlers each to two alleys is likely
to be followed.
Such plan would care for the many
league teams entering the tournament
in entirety, do away with the scheduling
of several shifts for each night of the
tournament and generally make the af-
fair more pleasant for the contestant.
While the contestant will need a longer
time to finish his or her games, the
scheduling in any event would be such
that one virtually would have to give
over an entire evening to the tourna-
ment So it seems the squads of five
instead of individual bowling would
prove the better system for the big
tournament
Final decision on this matter will be
made by the schedule committee on
Sunday when it sorts the entries and
arranges all details for the eight nights
of duckpinning This, by the way. will
be quite task, for already there are
enough entries for the tourney filed to
assure it will be a record breaking bowl
ing affair in size of field.
It has been brought to the attention
of the tournament committee that sew
eral bowlers not actually residents of
the territory declared within the scope
of the tournament have filed entries.
Some of these bowlers are afhliated with
leagues here, but they do not reside
within the section of tourney eligibles.
Territory Is Restricted.
For the benefit of all interested, the
tournament is open only to bowlers re-
siding in the District Of Columbia, the
counties of Montgomery, Prince Georges
and Charles in Maryland and in Vir-
ginia the counties Of Loudoun, Fairfax
and Arlington and the city OF Alexan-
dria.
It appears that several who would
enter the tourney do deal of their
bowling in this city, but actually reside
in Baltimore or in Maryland counties
other than those included in the tour
ney scope. According to the regulations
of the tournament, these bowlers are
not eligible to compete in The Evening
Star event.
However, not more than three or four
bowlers who have filed entries or an
nounced their intention of filing are af-
fected by this ruling. While these bowl
ers undoubtedly are a credit to the
game, it would be manifestly unfair to
the bowlers who reside in the eligible
territory to be asked to compete with
bowlers from outside that territory after
the extent of the competition has been
so widely broadcast.

base. The season must begin before
he is assigned to his task by Manager
Bill Carrigan. Reeves is ball player
with magnificent arm, and he can
stop hole In the Boston infield-which
has had more than one hole in 1t. The
Boston team needs some fielding as well
as some batting.
Gillis is young player who is more
apt to go forward than backward. Bige-
low is an outfielder who played with
the Birmingham club in 1928 and help
ed it win pennant
How about Washington's prospects
with Myer back again? For one thing
the batting strength Of the team will
be increased next year The clubs bat
ting power was too weak last season
to pull 1t through when 1t needed 1t.
The most vital effect of the Boston,
Washington trade is in regard to what
it may do to the Yankees-not in play
ers but in quite another manner The
Boston team has been easy prey for the
Yanks for some years. Any time that
the Red Sox Stiffen their opposition
against New York it makes the Ameri-
can League race tighter affair. This
trade may make a net difference in
more than a dozen games in 1920
and, as things go now, dozen games
are quite . few.

BY John b. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, December 18.-If the
trade by which the Washington club
took Buddy Myer of the Boston Red
Sox back to the National Capital, In
exchange for five players, doesn't do
some good for Boston in 1929, then
numbers are worthless in a base ball
swap. If it doesn't do something for
Washington Clark Griffith will be sore
of heart. The owner of the Nationals
always has had a spasm of regret be-
cause he let Myer 60 to Boston in 1927.
In obtaining Lisenbee and CASTOR,
pitchers; Bigelow, outflelder, and two
infielders, Reeves and Gillis, the Red
Sox will have what is In one way the
most promising clump of young base
ball talent ever swapped by one team
to another.
The reason is this: Lisenbee may
come back to his 1927 form, and in time
become one of the best pitchers in the
American League. CASTOR may have a
good year in 1929. If both pitchers are
right, they should win 20 games between
them next season-and If each hap
pened to win Is it would not be sur
priSing.
Reeves may be. played regularly at
