Mixed Sweepstakes for Dubs
Is Planned to Start March 2

to reject entries of any outstanding
stars whose actual averages may not be
a true index of their bowling abilities.
Duckpin events Of special appeal tt
the rank and file bowlers have been the
aim of local promoters for the past few
years. In this proposed mixed tourna-
ment, Manager Wood believes he has
found triple-header proposition fol
the average bowler.
Not enough attention has been
shown the under classes" Manager Wood
says. 1T is difficult to find PROPOSE
ton that gives equal opportunity to al
of our many patrons, but believe this
mixed sweepstakes will be as popular
as any bowling affair ever held here.
1.-THE big boys have had all the fun
in the Howard Campbell sweepstakes,
Wood says, now all of those who have
been content to sit back and look on
will have an opportunity to share In
the cash and glory"
Entries for this tournament may be
made at any of the Meyer Davis estab-
lishments. Each contestant will post So
five of which will go into the prize fund
and the remainder to cover cost of Is
games rolled. Division of the prize
money will depend upon the number OF
entries received. 1t IS likely that provi-
sion will be made for awarding more
prizes than in the Campbell sweep
stakes, where the first three high scorers
share in the spoilS.

BY SOL METZGER.


The argument about pendulum
putting and the arc swing of the
club never ceases because good
putters will always arise who fol-
low each method. Many experts
take a fling at the pendulum style
on every possible occasion. Sara
zen does not follow it. His putt is
a swing that opens the face of the
club going back and then comes IN
on line and follows out along it.
The path his blade follows Is shown
at the bottom of the sketch.
Gene plays the ball off his left
heel. Arms tucked in, right fore
arm on right thigh to insure steadi-
ness Takes club back with right
hand and swings 1t through with
this same hand. But just before
contact the face of his club is at
right angles to the line of flight.
How does he keep it there at con-
tact and thereafter?
At contact his left arm begins
breaking at the elbow. Thus his
left forearm (the left arm being
the putting guide), swings on out
on the line the ball Is to take.
That keeps the blade on line and
insures that the ball will not be
cut.

There have been many predictions C..
late that the first division clubs in tn
National League would consist Of Chi
cago, New York, st. Louis and Pitts
burgh.
In line with this statement I should
like to go on record as predicting that
the first OF next January will be New
Year day, unless the rules committee
makes a change in the calendar.
How any one can figure any club
outside of the Cubs, Giants. Cards and
Pirates as first-division clubs in this
league it is hard to see. Cincinnati,
Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia may
show tremendous improvement, but the
logical time for any one of these teams
to win the pennant is before the sea-
son starts.

Tunney Not to Referee.

Whoever may referee the Sharkey-
Stribling bout, it will not be Gene Tun-
ney. The retired champion does not
propose to return to the United States
for several months, and even then is
likely to pay the home folks only lin
tied visit. At the present time, Mr.. and
Mrs. Tunney are about to start on
motoring trip with their old friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Oliver Lagorce. Mr.
Lagorce is the noted editor, angler.
hunter and golfer for whom the course
at Miami Beach is named. In case he
and Mr.. Tunney should decide to play
the Scottish game, Mr.. Lagorce has
taken his golf club with him.
AS this club is said by some to be the
first ever manufactured in Scotland, it
may once more see its native land, al
though at last accounts its owner was
ultimately headed for Spain, where the
national paStimes are bull-flghting and
Tipping the tortilla. From time imne-
mortal the Spanish troubador has pre-
ferred playing the guitar to playing
mashie shot.

to diSparage Sharkey for not
having knocked out Meyer
i Christner. The Boston battler
punctured the rubber worker
from Akron pretty efficiently, but what
the fans wanted was blowout.
This is somewhat unfair to Sharkey
bout is a short time in which to fiatten
ner may only have had Is professional
fights, no one can doubt that he Is both
tough and game. These rugged fellows
are not easy to wear down and put away
in a comparatively short bout. More
over, Sharkey had to be a little careful
with ChriStner, as the latter had DEM
onStrated that he can hit.
One thing that Madison Square Gar
den got out of the encounter is another
drawing card. Any man who keeps
walking in and swinging from the ankle
is favorite with the fans. Christner
and Pauline should put on an exhibition
resembling a fight between two buff
faloes.
There isn't doubt that the bout was
plenty hard enough to tune Sharkey up
and do him good.
The only manner in which a fighter
can stay at top form is to keep fight
ing. This has been demonstrated too
often to suffer contradiction. Against
Stribling, Sharkey should be pretty close
to his best. He may have to be.
1t looks more and more as IL the
winner of that Sharkey- Stribling affair
would emerge as the logical candidate
for Tunney'S discarded crown.

item is that he seems to be perfectly

to be one OF the most difficult things
