PIN SET
BY GINO SINH

This peewee golf craze is so
strong that it is beginning to
affect the bowling alleys.
The two UP and coming man
ayers, Bill Falconer and Jack
Proctor, of the classy Silver
Spring duckpin emporium, had a
lot of leftover bowling alley ma.
terial on hand from alleys laid
down last winter.
Rather than throw it away,
stung by this virile, miniature
everything bug, and having a lot
of surplus time on their hands,
the two chaps got together this
summer and built two miniature
bowling alleys on the escond tloor
of their establishment.
Everything on them is under
size. The balls are the size OF
a regulation baseball. The pins
are correspondingly smaller and
the alleys shorter and narrower.
you'd be surprise how much
interest the patrons show in
this rig-Out," remarked Proctor,
Not the kids. either, but the
grown.ups. They get big
kick out of IL. Regardless OF
how slack the trade may be,
these two drives are always
going"
And so, if you are. surfeited
with miniature golf, you can
vary this dinky craze by doing
some peewee bowling. -
The Almas Club just closed a
successful summer bowling season.
The Bucks won the pennant with
twenty wins and seven losses.
and a team game average Of
497-10. House was second with
nineteen wins and eight defeats

William Webb totaled one Of
the biggest sets rolled in the

to take high set honors in the
league. His games were 141. 15l,

The Almas Club rolls on six
beautifully kept alleys in the
basement of the attractive club
building on K Street Northwest,
They are run for members and
friends exclusively. Roy Stutsman
rolled 156 for an alley high game
mark.
Ed Fuller and Francis Stan
are squabbling over who shall
grace himself with the name
"One-Ball." Ed argues that only
one of the three balls he throws
ever hits anything, and, there
fore, he is the real one-hall
bowler. Stan claims the same
propensities, but Ed insists that
he has been doing this longer
than Francis and priority should
count for something.
The arguers may settle their
dispute on the alleys.

MNEH0LMAN

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 26.-
Third Baseman Ossie Bluege,
popular Washington club player,
is to take a fling at life insurance
this winter!
Ossie was once an expert ac-
countant during the off-season.
But the strain on his eyes proved
so severe that he abandoned that
profession.
Being of an ambitious dispoSi-
ton with an eye to the future,
he has therefore elected to repre-
sent the New York Fife Insurance
Company when the current sea-
son is brought to a close.
Bluege, always a hustler, is one
ball player who realizes that his
days are numbered. And when he
steps out of his present environ
ment several years hence, he has
no intention of being jobless.
Ossie, who accompanied Man
ager Walter Johnson, Fred Mar
berry and Sam West to Washing
ton recently, intends spending two
weeks with the home folks in
Chicago at the conclusion of the
present baseball year, week from
tomorrow. He will then knuckle
down to business.
Credit for Joe Cronin's changed
batting stance, which has netted
him a $40 hitting mark or there
abouts, belongs to Trainer Mike
Martin.
Joes says SO himself.
Joe, who used to WELD the will
low around his knees. now holds
his fail in front of him, shoulder
high.
Hans Wagner used to bat that
way and thought Cronin

rooter yelled:
Don't worry Shires-youll be
in the Texas League next year."
You White Sox fans ought to
know" Art replied instantly.
You've been supporting a Texas
League ball club long enough!"
Center Fielder Doljack of the
Detroit Club, is one of the likeliest
prospects unearthed in some
time. Bucky Harris and Connie
Mack both indorse this version.
Doljack, who was brought up
from the Middle Atlantic League
recently, caught Mack's eye in
simultaneously when Philadelphia
visited Detroit recently.
There a boy with everything, "
he commented to AL Simmons
and Mickey Cochrane. If he
doesn't go over big in a couple
of years I'll be badly fooled.
Steve O'Neill, old time Cleve-
land catcher and present Toronto
manager, could make immediate
connections with big league ball
club if he was open to offers. AS
it stands he's pretty well satisfied
in his present location and has
no intention of making a change.

SENATE
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
international News Service

Any political pact that emerses
from the London naval confer
ence. whether it be merely con-
sultative or otherwise. is in for
microscopic scrutiny and rough
Shedding in the Senate. A can
vass of senatorial opinion today
made this crystal clear.
For the first time in weeks
Senate attention was foclsssd on
the London parley today as a
result of what appears to be a
remarkable about-face on the part
of Secretary of State Stimson in
agreeing to consider American
participation in a political con.
sultative agreement with Euro
peaa powers in return for
Frances scaling down her ton
mage demands.
+ Senate Is Suspicious
The Senate is puzzled and sus
piciouS-the more so because OF
the very evident confusion IN
American policy as expressed by
StimSon in London and what IN
diviuual Senators have under
stood is President HooVer'S policy
of entering no pactS at London
other than Straight-out naval linn
ltation treaties.
No longer ago than Tuesday
various Senators were given 10
understand that Administration
policy was strongly against "brlb-
ing France" with any political
agreements. whether they be con-
sultatlve, or whether, as France
has demanded. they be a guar
antee of French security. IN
either case, the impression has
universally obtained in Washing
ton that President Hoover con-
sidered a security pact wholly I'M
possible, and a consultative pact
worthless and liable to lead TO
future trouble over the manner
of its Interpretation.
StimSOn Statement Next
Then. on Tuesday, Secretary
StimSon issued his remarkable
statement asserting the willing
ness of the American delegation
to approach a consultative pact
with open mind"
The State Department had no
further contribution to make 10
day toward clearing up the con-
| fusion, although yesterday Acting
Secretary Cotton spent consider
able time in endeavoring to recon
cile the position of the admins
