-Four cash prizes will be awarded this
year instead of three as in the past,
provided an increase in entries juStifles
the change, it is announced by Ebersole.
Last year Bradley Mandel, the cham

medal; Glen Weidman, the runner-up,
5000, and Howard Campbell, third, SIPS.
The entry fee will be $2S, of which
t25 goes into the prize fund and 50
toward the purchase of a medal, this
in reality being the gift Of the estab-
'lishments staging the event, which
makes no charge for bowling.
Missing from the line-ups of other
years will be Glenn Wolstenholme and
Jack Whalen, two brilliant stars. VOL
stenholme is now in the post office serv-
ice at Palm Beach. Fla, and Whalen
is assistant manager of John Blick's

Two others who will be missed from

new SUBURBAN PIN
LEAGUE IS PLANNED

A new duckpin association, to be
known as the Washington Suburban
Duckpin Association, is to be formed
this week as the result of a meeting
called for Thursday evening at 8 o'clock
in the Masonic Temple in Silver Spring.
Invitations to attend the meeting
have been sent out to presidents of all
leagues in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties and nearby Virginia
by Howard p. Bailey, president of the
North of Washington League, which
shares with the Masonic League of this
city the honor of being the largest
league in this section, both leagues hav-
ing So teams.
The purpose Of the new association
will be to foster suburban champion
ship matches, sweepstakes and other
contests and to arrange for a central
point TO which schedules can be sent in
order that open nights may be found
for intercounty meetings.
1t is expected that permanent or
ganization will be effected at the meet
ing Thursday night, with various COM
mitteeS named to get the association
into working order. 1t is hoped by those
backing the plan for the association
that at least one intercounty contest
may be arranged each month during
the bowling season.
Any one interested in the formation
of the organization is invited to attend
the meeting.

Con En Route to Confer With G Italy eL Dqv Cup Tenn
though he did right well for novice at

though he did right well for a novice at
second base
When first lining up his ball club for
the impending campaign, though, john
son sought to muster as much hitting
strength as possible and figured 1t might
be better to employ the harder-hitting,
but weaker-flelding Myer than Hayes at
second. But when Hayes after few
days of practice entered the inf1eld drills
alternating at second with Myer the diff
ference between their fielding efforts
was so great that johnson began TO
think his original plan might not be so
good. True, Myer was plugging along
around the base fairly well, but Hayes
flelded like flash.
Always easy and graceful, covering a
deal Of ground with minimum effort,
taking care of dif1cult chances deity
and getting the ball away fast and ac-
curately, Hayes in the drills looked even
better than he did last year.
Recently Hayes has made all hands at
camp realize he is even better than for
merly as fielder. He seems destined to
become as sparkling a Second-Sacker as
OSSie Bluege is q third-sacker, and
Washington fans well know what that
would mean. Jack seems perfectly at
home at the position. He apparently is
never at loss as to what 10 DO whether
initiating play or assisting to engineer
one. Excepting Bluege, he is by far the
most finished fielder of the inner squad.
Myer has been struggling recently to
rid himself of the arm ailment, but thus
far has made little progress. Rest treat
ment has been tried, and Trainer Mike
Martin has resorted to messages. Moth
ing seems to have helped to any APP
preciable extent. The arm still Is quite
sore and Buddy's throwing is weak as
a result. To his credit, Myer has re-
peatedly tried to work out" the sore
ness in practice and in games, too, but.
nothing good has come of these efforts.
Arm soreness has been a chronic
Spring ailment with Myer since he first
came up to the Nationals in 1925. AL
ways at training camp Buddy expert
enced trouble with the wing. But here
tofore he has managed to bring the sore
limb around to rather good form quick
ly. This time it is different. So john
son is preparing to make change In
his original plans.
HAYES, of course, hit only ats last
year. But frequently this is not regarded
as handicap in the big show for an
infielder If he really can handle his
position much better than the player
who can clout at higher figure. john
son seemingly thinks so now. With
Myers arm troublesome, johnson nat
urally reasons the better thing to do is
swing to Hayes despite his weaker hit
ting. So 1t should occasion no surprise
If Jack is doing his stuff at the second
sack when the curtain goes up.
Sam Jones and Garland Braxton are
expfiected to get their first pitching
trials this afternoon in an extra game
scheduled with the Lookouts. The
original slate did not call for a game
until Wednesday afternoon, but Man
ager johnson figured this was a good
time to put the boys through test.
Tomorrow either Ad Liska or Bob
game with the local aggregation.

By r. d. THOMAS.

YACK WHITE asked for a guar
antee of $50 some time ago to
meet Howard Campbell in a
series at the Lucky Strike, but
got a cold turn-down. The Connec-
ticut flash sought the same terms to
meet Ray Won Dreele in Baltimore and
received a reply that sounded sus-
piciously like horse laugh.
However, he will appear here next
week to shoot singles against Camp
bell for the Connecticut All-Stars, who
will be guests of the Grand Palace
valet team, and all Jack will collect
will be a share of the $1,000 purse
If his team wins.
The paid athlete in any sport is
worth as much as he can draw at the
gate, and White undoubtedly would be
underpaid at $50 throw for major
matches If bowling establishments
were built to accommodate large gal
leries. He is a sensational performer
and a born Snowman. Washington fans
ride" him when he's in front and KID
him when he's behind, and Jacks come
back one way or the other is always
interesting. Not infrequently his reply
takes the form Of brilliant shot.
Convention Hall has by far the
largest seating capacity OF any pin
plant here, and although Its grand
stand has been packed at 81 a head
and several drives covered by the over
flow no bowling show there has ever
paid worthwhile dividend.
Promoters have thought Of building
places that would seat enough people
to make special matches profitable, but
they have found that the grandstand
space would be more valuable in the
long run IL used for drives.
Some promoters doubt the value of
the star to the game. The bulk OF
their business comes from the dub,
who sometimes is discouraged by the
presence against him Of the expert.
In Washington lately there has been
tendency to pass up the star and
throw promotion efforts in the direc-
ton of making the game more attrac-
tive to the mediocre player and novice.
At least one prominent team OF the
District League next year viii have no
outstanding star in its lineup.
at don't care II we don't get any
where in the pennant race" says the
magnate who controls the team, al
though I believe we viii. But the boys
who represent us viii be doing it purely
in the spirit of sport, and believe that
by encouraging this type OF bowler We
can help the game as whole. These
COMPOUNDED prina donnas, who think
they're do ng you a favor by having
some fun themselves, are getting rather
tiresome."
For these same alleged reasons an
other establishment will reorgantze its
team in the Ladies District League next
season.
Says the manager of this plant:
They're fine girls and all that, but
none of them is really interested in the
place they represent. It's my idea to
give some of the regular patrons q
chance, whether we win or not"
They're getting ready for the piece
