Parker climbed out of the cellar by
grabbing a set from Mount Pleasant,
while the best King Solomon could do

Parker's anchor man, led with 338.

Centennial made headway by taking

factor in the double win over Petworth,
while Bittenbender shot $50 against

Il heavyweight champion of South
America. But in the battle of
all nations, including the Scandinavian,
ne Is now face to face with greater trou-
BILE in the Norwegian delegate from Chi

Otto Won Porat isn't as large or as
tall as Senor Campolo. He is a much
smaller hornet with a much more
poisonous sting. When he tags he ap-
pears to mean 1t. Scott is a good
boxer, skillful defensive boxer and it
Will be largely a question as to whether
he can jab Won Porat of balance and
keep him away when they tangle up to-
morrow night.
II Scott makes the mistake of
leaving an opening through which
Won Porat can toss a chunk of
leather, the British champion will
be taking a short cut to sudden
trouble. For Won Porat can hit.
He can hit hard enough to hurt any
one. He has been improving in his
speed and technique through the
last year and he will be nobody's
Set-up at his next start.
He will find Scott the type of boxer
who is none too easy to tag. The
British entry, being a normal human
being, doesn't like it on the chin, and
he can take fairly effective precautions
when 1t comes to keeping his chin out
OF the danger zone. But it is no GER
tainty he will keep away from the
ambitious Norwegian who now seems
intent upon moving into polite pugilistlc
society and staying there.
The National Champion.
QUERIES continue to pour in, ask
X ing what foot ball team should be
named national champion.
This problem is entirely too intricate
a matter for the limited brain capacity
of this entry. There is no questioning
the fact that among the unbeaten teams
who were not even tied Notre Dame
fought its way through the hardest
field. But when 1t comes to saying
that Notre Dame could beat Pittsburgh
or that Notre Dame could beat Purdu
or that Pittsburgh could beat Purdu
that is something else again.
Each of these three teams had
strong lines and exceptional back
fields. They all proved they could
play lot of foot ball. Among them
they won 26 games without dropping
a decision, which is fair enough.
All three had to beat a flock of
good teams to get by Notre Dame
beat Wisconsin, 10 to 0. Purdue
beat Wisconsin, l3 to 0. Notre

Pittsburgh beat Carnegie Tech, "a

There it was that John L. Vaeth
rose to the peak Of bowling fame
only to efface himself at the
height Of his career. There 1t was
that young Morris Cafritz, first to
apply big ideas to the game,
dreamed of cornering the duck
pin market and Of making himself
the king bowling promoter Of all
time.
There for years was held the WASH
ington City Duckpin Association tourna-
ment, which was to become q bone Of
contention among alley niagnateS and
split the bowierS into bitter factions
those for and against the Grand Gen.
tral.
On his deathbed John Vaeth was
comforted by the knowledge Of victory
in the fght Of his friends to give him
and the place he managed the city
tournament once more. New and larger
establishments had come into the field
and were challenging heatedly the
Grand Central'S right to monopolize the
choice chunk of late-seaSon business.
One vote was the Grand CentralS
margin Of victory in the city association
directors choice of alleys the year Vaeth
died, and the deciding ballot was cast
by O man whose head directed one way
and his heart the other.
After VaethS light went out six years
ago the Grand Central declined rapidly.
It was Shadowed into almost complete
obscurity when the Coliseum dance hall
and skating rink in the other wing Of
Center Market was converted into q
bowling alley. Not q ripple was made on
the bowling pond when It went COM
pletely under this Fall. To hundreds
who bowled In the city tournaments
there, including many who were regular
patrons, this Is the flrSt news Of the
passing Of the grand old Grand Central.
But 1t will ever live In the memory
little fellow whose golden makeup was
fully known only to few intimateS.
The Grand Central was established Is
years ago by Cafritz, who later passed
up bowling for q broader field Of en-
deavor; not, however, until he had ac-
complished much in the games promo
ton. He was mainly instrumental In
popularizing duckpin6 among women
and the Grand Central was the first
establishment in this city that serious
ly catered to them.

shotter. The location of the thirteenth
has not been changed, but the old
timer would hardly recognize the con-
Struction of the green as compared with
the green in 1915. It is now in two
levels and very well trapped.
Two big bunkerS sticking out at the
right corner of the fairway and a grove
of small fir trees make the physical
aspect of the fourteenth far different
matter from those days decade and
half ago. The green also has been
rebuilt and pushed back a little bit.
Otherwise the hole is much the same
as it was in 1915. but with back tee
to compensate for the added length
of the ball.
We recall when Walter J. Travis
used to regard the fifteenth as one
of the outstanding two-shot holes Of
America. It still is, but it has not un-
dergone a great deal of change The
bunkers at the left have been cut
down and their severity alleviated, and
the green has been built up at the
second shot very much. The sixteenth
still is a one-shotter, but far different
looking affair from that of 1915. The
green has been rebuilt no less than
three times since those days and now
an upper tee, on the hillside near the
seventeenth tee, makes q very attrac-
tive shot.
The seventeenth remains much the
same hole. Nothing much can be
done to the physical characteristics Of
that hole, but it has been made harder
by construction Of a long tee.
At the eighteenth the green has been
rebuilt thrice since 1915. but is in the
same location, although considerably
higher than the green of those days.
Two big traps flank the green, making
it a much harder affair than the fiat
Jack rabbit" ball did almost as much.
