~ OWLERS, both men and women,
- OF Silver Spring, expect to BID
strongly for the prizes to be at
IL stake in The Evening Star
individual duckpin championship
tournament that gets under way next
week. At the formal opening OF the flne
duckpin establishment owned by John
Faulconer and Frank Proctor In the
Maryland suburb last nighs numbers OF
patrons of the new drives enrolled for
The Star tourney, and the performances
they gave indicated some Of the bowlerS
are apt to make matters more than
interesting for other contestants.
Faulconer and Proctor are to be con-
graduated for their contribution to the
duckpin game in this vicinity. They
have erected q substantial building
housing IL alleys and well fitted for the
comfort of the bowler and the spectator.
The establishment is well lighted and
roomy, too. Altogether, it is a model
bowling plant.
The new place was thronged last night
at the formal opening and all drives
were busy from early in the evening
occupied by bowlerS competing in the
inaugural matches of the North of
Washington League, a Sizable organiza-
ton of mems teams. Soon the teams OF
the women'S section of the same circuit
will swing into action. Other drives
were filled with Washington star bowlerS
in competition among themselves.
District BowIers Roll.
Exhibitions these competitions among
the Washington contingent were called,
but they were anything but mere exhibit
tions. True, there was some stellar
bowling offered, but erstwhile team
mates were divided last night and for
the time being were friendly enemies
A revamped King Pin team bowled
against an aggregation styled the Silver
Spring Stars and so bitter was the bat
tie that not enough was left of either
to call a winner at the finish.
Mixed in the contest with the younger
bowling element including Howard
Campbell, Glenn Weidman and Bernie
Frye were such left-overs from the stone
age as Pop Evans, Harry Armiger, Jack
timers struggled valiantly and more
than one of the youngsters in the clash
found the going anything but easy.
A striking feature Of the evening was
the doubles exhibition in which Lor-
raine GULL, ranking woman bowler Of
the District, and Irene MiSchou, ma
tional all-eventS champion, paired
against Harry Strickler and Walter
Barrett, brace of rising young bowlers
of Silver Spring. The mere men before
the contest asked what handicap they
should accord the opposition. The girls
declared they wanted no handicap and
proceeded to roll well above 600 to trim
their male opponents by 81 pins.
AS q finale, q clash between mixed
quints was staged. On one side. Lucille
Preble and Miss Gull handicapped
themselves by bowling with Pop Evans.
Jack Williams and Bill Wood. On the
other, Peggy Babcock and MRS. Mischou
esSayed to drag along Jack Mooney,
George Isemann and John Blick. Wood
and Blick were anchors for their teams,
literally as well as flguratively. Two
games were rolled to an even break,
although victory for either side was
remarkable considering the dragging
anchors.

BY JOHN A. FERRALL.

The Kid, having won the first two
games rather easily, wasn't letting the
Old Timer lose sight Of that fact.
Don't be such a hard loSer," he
urged II thought you bowled just for
recreation and exercise"
What do you mean, hard loser?"
demanded the Old Timer. IF you can
lick me, even accidentally, then must
be an easy loser"
"Oh, you seem to be able to lose
anything except weight" agreed the
Kid, cheerfully. but If you keep up that
stunt Of frotting at the mouth over
every trimming handed YOU, some one
is going to mistake you for mad dog
and shoot you."
Don't worry about that" said the
Old Timer. And, besides, they have
found out how to avoid danger from
biting dogs, so mad dogs don't frighten
any one now."
Found out how to avoid danger from
biting dogs?" repeated the Kid, with
out thinking. "How?"
Every Dog Has His Daze.
Don't bite dogs!" responded the Old
Timer promptly. "Har! Har Har!
Mad dogs are not the only animals that
bite. You sure snapped that one up.
Yes, sir. caught you fast asleep. Well,
every dog has his daze, you know.

"oh, yes; yes, indeed" agreed the
Kid. switching the subject with light
ming rapidity. II suppose you saw what
Marjorie Bradt did the other night?"
Did I! Say, count Of 608 is some
thing to write home about" declared the
fact that the last three games repre-
sented the neat total of AIT. It GER
tainly is one big advertisement for The
Stars tournament"
How do you figure that out?" the
Kid wanted to know.
Well" explained the Old Timer,
"there are. lot of crawfish like you
that are backing out of the tournament
on the ground that they haven't a
chance"
'Well?"
''Well, aside from the fact that the
tournament gives you an opportunity
to get something for nothing, you craw-
fishers are now up against the propo-
Sition that If you stay out because you
pretend you haven't chance, you are
going on record as admitting that you
do not rank with the girls at the game.

any bowler who counts 608 for his

"a 608 count for five games Is real
bowling" admitted the Kid.

''Of course, it is true that lot of the

FISH SCORES ARMY'S
STAND ON ELIGIBILITY
BY the Associated Press.


POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, December
20.-West Points eligibility rules in foot
ball, which kept the Army from meet
ing Navy this year on the gridiron, were
criticized here last night by Represen-
tative Hamilton Fish, jr., as ''undemo-
cratic and unsportsmanlike."
The criticism, made by the one-time
all-America Harvard tackle at the East
man College foot ball dinner, was
coupled with the hope that West Point
would step down" from its position
and permit the two service teams to
resume their annual foot ball game.
THE Navy has adopted the three
year rule along with other colleges,
said Fish, land was able this year to
defeat Princeton and Pennsylvania, two
of the strongest teams in the East. The
Navy foot ball authorities have gener-
ously offered to play West Point if the
Army will adopt four-year rule. This
would still leave big advantage to the
Army, as the Navy would continue to
abide by the three-year rule.
"The Navy Is absolutely right in re-
fusing to continue to play West Point
as long as the Army insists on a six
year rule"

Many of the entries received today
came from the Post once League. The

big tournament. Post Office League
and the Post ONCE team of the Federal
League are to be represented practically
In entirety.
Indications are that the Masonic and
Federal League will be represented by
a majority of bowlers affiliated with
teams of the two circuits. General

cate that that section will be one Of the
best represented among the suburban
